Anyone know what could cause the LGWR to not show a pair code during setup? Because of this, the watch is pretty much junk at this point.
I've reset it to factory settings over and over again and I still get the same results. I'm going to assume it's a bad bluetooth module which sucks but I figured I'd ask on here if anyone might have suggestions before throwing it on ebay as parts. (or the trash can if nobody buys it)
Here is a picture to show what I mean:

Had same problem ... a quick new installation of the Android Wear app on my mobile and a reboot of both watch and mobile fixed it .... Couldn´t connect the watch after a reset! Tried to reboot/reset watch and mobile many times w/o succsess ... had to do a fresh installation of the AW app then it worked ....
Hope that helps ....
I've tried that repeatedly and even tried flashing different versions of android wear and still no dice. I've contacted LG and that will be my only option aside from eBay it looks like.

Well try this (I had the same problem and find a solution not very orthodox but it works). If you have a tablet or other phone pair with him. Now with the watch paired with other phone/tablet, search in the watch Bluetooth definitions the phone that you really want to connect! This will give the code to the phone! Now, reset the watch and try to pair with the wanted phone!
Give a try... It works with me! Several times!
With Wear app? If watch was paired with another phone, then hard reset will help. Also, that code on picture is strange to me. Mine is with some numbers and letters...

That's the problem is it's not generating a pair code....it's blank! The first time I paired it, it had a pair code but now it doesn't. I have reset it more times that I can could trying to get it to pair to my phone, my tablet, my wifes phone, my kids' kindle fires....nothing works because none of them see the watch.
I sent it to LG to repair under warranty so we'll see what happens from them.
Had same problem just 2 hours ago again. About a dozen reboots and resets on both watch and phone and no pair code ... Deleted the wear app from phone, fresh installation from play store ... and it worked again? .... Sorry that i can't be more of a help than this even i know you tried it allready ...

Hey, I appreciate people still commenting in case anyone else might have this problem and their suggestions might help someone. For me, I uninstalled the app, tried it on other phones and tablets, I even reinstalled a new version of android on my phone just to have a clean slate and still nothing. I tried installing numerous versions of android on the watch and it always did the same thing....no pair code on that screen I posted a picture of.
When I contacted LG they said it sounded like a bad bluetooth module and I sent it off yesterday to be repaired by them so hopefully they get it repaired without trouble.
Same problem here. No solution so far.

I sent the stupid thing in and they "worked" on it and replaced the charging port on it and sent it back.....of course since I told them it was the bluetooth module and it wouldn't pair with any device then fixing the charging port obviously didn't fix it. I've emailed them again but they haven't responded. Idiots!
Sorry to hear that. So they didnt fix it?
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app
No, they didn't fix it. I did a live chat with one of the people at LG yesterday and he's putting me in for another repair so I'll be sending it off tomorrow again. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
same for me. the only thing that help me is to send it to lg in korea for fix under warrenty.
try to put the watch in the refrigirator for 10 min. and try again . it will show the 4 digit code and you will be able to connect but not for long.
It's official.... LG is the worst company to deal with in my experience. I have sent the watch a total of 3 times now and they will haven't fixed it correctly. First time they replaced the charging port, second time they fixed a "diode" and third time, the bluetooth module (supposedly). Still does the same thing..... Sits on the "install android wear" screen and won't do anything else.
I've lost confidence that it'll ever get fixed and I'll probably just sell it on eBay for parts and chalk LG up as a company to never buy anything from again.
Hey, I just got this issue
tried factory reset using watch and bootloader still no good*.
tried connecting using Bluetooth settings on my phone and still no good*.
enabled usb debugging and Bluetooth debugging on watch, then installed wear mini launcher on watch using abd(using cable) , then some magic happened and after i pressed the button on my watch it showed a pair code but not the screen from startup settings, then i tried connect using phone Bluetooth settings app and it connected, still android wear says it's not connected but when i tried again using android wear it finally did connect.
I know it is not a guide to resolve this problem but now my watch is working.
Don't know if this will work only when installing wear mini launcher or any app.
Still hope this will help some peoples.
Now I'm afraid to flash my phone again.
*no good= no pair code
EDIT:
I also enabled everything in the development menu containing bluetooth
I've just got myself a Watch R and am having a problem similar to this. When I try and start the watch, it asks me to pair the watch with my Samsung S7 edge. No problem. It sees the watch and the watch sees the phone. It updates, and syncs however, then it asks me to pair it with my phone which it doesn't see. The watch nor the phone shows itself as knowing that each other exists. I have tried reinstalling Androidwear, restarting the phone and watch several times. I also have an LG Urbane which is registered (although switched off) with androidwear.
HELP!!!!

Hello,
My smartwatch LG G Watch R is connected throug bluetooth, but 9 out of 10 times teh ok google says its offline, with a slashed cloud.
I have allready factory reset both phone and watch.
Reinstall Google Now
Check settings 100 times
Is my watch broken? Or can this be another problem?

I have had this a couple of times. It is the phone not connecting to the internet. I only have had it when on wifi. Switched wifi on phone off and on and that fixed it.
Does it happen on wifi and mobile data?
Hi. Yes it means that it's connected to the phone but the phone is not connected to the Internet.

Have the same problem; it's connected via bluetooth AND voice recognition works perfectly on the phone - any ideas anyone ?
Ash
seems to be when i receive a card, directly after it wont connect
Hi all, I've registered in order to ask exactly the same question.
Every time I use some voice recognition (i.e. give an order, answer to someone...) I got these "offline" errors same as OP.
"Offline" or "Can't reach Google at the moment" even if my phone is 100% with internet conectivity.
Anyone got this fixed? Any troubleshooting around it?
Thanks in advance !
I'd expect it would happen if you have a battery saver like Juice Defender on the phone that turns off data when the screen is off, or only switches it on every 15 mins etc. I'd turn off any battery saving stuff on the phone that could be doing anything like that and see if there's any improvement
At least I, I don't have any kind of battery saving application...
Add me to this list. Total garbage. I've had this watch for a few days and I'm very underwhelmed because of this problem.
I've experienced the same problem. Watch works when wifi is active but goes" offline" when only connected to data. I believe I've come across a solution. It's working for me.
Switch on background data for Google search.(on your phone) That worked for me.
Go to settings, data usage, scroll down to Google search (should be there on the list) and make sure background data isn't restricted.
Hope this helps. Good luck guys/girls.

Nope no joy for me with this...
No ticks in any app on that list..!
These constant disconnects are really getting to me now !
Strangely I'm on a note 3 too, albeit running the leaked lollipop rom, I take it your still on stock KitKat firmware ?
I was going to flash back to 4.4.3 stock to see if it cures it but if you're still on this I won't bother.

Looks like a very common problem across all android wear watches.
Even though I have a G Watch R, I've had a nosey around and according to the Moto 360 forums they are having the same issues so I would guess either lollipop on the watch has an issue or the latest android wear app.. rather than the watch itself if the 360 is doing the same.
And I don't think it did this when the Mrs first bought my watch and let me try it out prior to putting it away for xmas.
I had a good few hours playing with it to make sure it was working ok and what I wanted for my xmas present
This was before the updates to the app and watch firmware.
Had it been like it is now I think I would have sent it back...!
Hopefully it will get fixed after the New Year and everyone gets back to their jobs at Google..
Most of the functions still go to the "cloud" to work, so if you have any battery saving "features" enabled that restrict Google Play Service, then you'll likely to run into problems.
I've seen this problem also and it was caused by my flakey wifi connection or trying to make the watch do something while out of signal (like in an elevator). But that not the watch's fault...
You can try downloading the voice recognition offline, that could help, but it still neds internet to work properly. Uninstall all batery saving garbage (I have yet to see a working one) and try again.
Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you. I had that problem on 4.3 and upgraded to 4.4 thinking it would solve the issue. Changing bootloaders, roms, android versions didn't fix it until I reenabled background data.
I was rooted running jedi 4.3 rom when I got my g watch r. Switched to PAC ROM 4.4.4 and the prob was still there. It's all good now though. Good luck and hope you find a fix. I totally understand your frustration.

It's likely not an issue with the phone itself; the Nexus 6 that is. My N6 and 360 are playing very well together.
An acquaintance of mine got a 360 the other day. He had the same exact thing happen with the 360 and his SGS4. He's not sure what he did to get it working, it ended up sorting itself out as it seemed to him.
I'd recommend forgetting the device in Android Wear app, unpairing from the BT settings panel on the phone, and then resetting the device. Start entirely from scratch. If that doesn't help, and you just got the watch, it may be worth a shot exchanging the watch for another.
I got it working, thanks for the help guys!

the majority of the time, forgetting the device in wear app, then factory resetting the watch, will fix the problem.
if you flash different roms, its also common for some watches, to have to factory reset every time after a clean phone flash.

My brother is having problems with his Note 4... It turns the volume all the way down when using the phone while running on the treadmill.... Doesn't matter if the phone is in his pocket or sitting still on the treadmill, doesn't matter which music app he's listening to and doesn't matter what headphones he's using.... The phone has been reset and it didn't make a difference, the phone has been replaced and the problem persist....hes removed Pandora, he removed power amp, he's removed live wallpapers AND all at the request of tmobile trouble shooting process... NOTHING!!! the problem seems to be isolate to him and up until today's search I couldn't find anyone else experiencing this issue... But finally today I came accross this thread
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...olume-turns-down-while-listening-pandora.html
But still no solution
Been running all the Pandora and stock music app no issue
BAD ASS NOTE 4 & BAD ASS GEAR S
I also have a Note 4 and so does my wife and neither of us have similar problems with our phones... I'm looking for help with this problem, not more examples of the problem being non existent... If it effected EVERYONE then I wouldn't be at a loss... I don't mean to be rude and if I seem that way please accept my apologies... I just don't want this to turn into a thread of testimonials of how no one else is experiencing this issue.
Just for ****s and giggles. Did you try to use phone while jogging outside. Does it still lowers volume down? That way you would eliminate possibility of interference from treadmill.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Actually at one point he thought it was Pandora because he was using the unlimited skip apk version of it and in his mind that made it suspect... He removed it and the problem went away... (so he thought) then while jogging home it happened again... He calls the phone "Samsuck" and it makes me feel like **** because I recommended it and I know he's very frustrated... I'm the techy person in the family (everyone comes to me) and I'm at a loss... I'm not an apk developer or a computer wiz of any sort but I'm slightly gifted and I've been installing competition level car audio for 20+ years, so electronics in general are 2nd nature to me
Are you using any sound enhancing software? When I was using Noozxoide Eizo sometimes I was losing volume control by mechanical buttons and touch control via screen after I change volume up/down rapidly. Only restarting phone fixed that. Since I no longer using that soft problem disappeared.

Have you reset the phone and have him just use it stock and only listen to mp3? Then start adding "music" apps one by one.

He's waiting for his 2nd replacement now... I asked him not to install ANYTHING except Pandora and to use that to work out for a few days and then start installing his apps one at a time... (honestly this is not something he wants to do) He's already extremely frustrated with his phone (as he should be) after all its almost an $800 device... Tmobile told him that if he has issues with this one, they would start talking about a different replacement... He's considering the LG G3... However the way tmobile worded it I'm not exactly sure if they will honestly let him out of this contract and into another... I hope they do... I myself know how electronics can behave and my frustration comes with some understanding that the process of elimination is a crucial part of the process in problems such as these... But even I don't understand Samsung and there constant [email protected]$465sh%)t with these phones... WiFi connectivity issues, incoming messages and alerts lowering bluetooth volume, OK Google no longer pausing music when activated and for me mirrorlink doesn't work with my Brand new pioneer deck... And it's clearly a Samsung issue (I've researched the crap out of it)... Everytime I purchase a new Samsung I tell myself it's my last one and EVERTIME they release another must have flagship phone... I'm a geek and can't help myself but my brother unfortunately just wants something that works without all these issues... He doesn't own a pc and I've taught him how to torrent straight to his device and he's hooked!!! Unlimited skip Pandora apk also is a must have for him and for those 2 reasons I can not recommend an iPhone but otherwise an iPhone would be a better fit for him... For me? Android all the way, all the time!! Thanks everyone for trying to help, I truly appreciate it
Assuming that your mirror link deck is 1.1 version try use this quide.

Thanks... It's a 2015 deck and although I don't remember the software version number I do know it's the same version mirrorlink as the note 4... Pioneer customer service assured me it was the device I needed for Note 4 compatibility... I'll try it, although the instructions are a little strange... Bluetooth has to be on?? As soon as the radio sees a USB connection, it disables Bluetooth and the other was make sure my phone is connected to WiFi or a network connection? Not sure what that's about??? I would have to deliberately turn it off so I'm sure it was on the last time I tried to enable mirrorlink.
So I got a new toy. A Samsung Gear Live. I've had it for a week and so far really like it. The biggest issue I seem to be having is the companion apps. I don't know why, but they refuse to work. Everytime I try to use one I get an error message to the tune of, " not connected to a device with this application" or "lost connection to phone". This is clearly untrue. I can see that I'm still connected and even the device itself acknowledges it. I just can't figure it out.
I have attempted a power cycle, using the restart function, a hard reboot, even reseting it back to factory. I rebooted my phone, Uninstalled and reinstalled the apps on the phone, and still no luck. I'm at a loss. Anyone who knows what to do on this front would be very welcome.
What are companion apps?
Sent from my SM-N910T3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Companion apps, are the apps that are activated on your smart watch. Like the dominoes easy order app, or a bank app that let's you check your balances without pulling out your phone.
I did find my problem however. It seems that my gear live was shipped with a dev kit. I had to completely reflash it to stock software to get it to run correctly.
How did you figure out it was a dev kit? Im having similar problems. Thanks.
Fixed the problem resetting the watch and reinstalling the Android wear app. However now in the storange manager its showing three of several apps. How to fix please?
You can find if it has a Dev kit under the settings. Under build I believe. It should be a set of numbers with "dev" somewhere in it. If that's there, it's gonna hold up your regular use of the watch. It caused the apps not to work right or not to show up, etc. I'll see if I can find the link I used before for how I reset the watch to stock firmware.
Hello everyone,
first I'm sorry for my english and hope you understand everything.
I'm using Android Auto since two years with the same smartphone a galaxy s8+ (Android 9) in my opel corsa e on an Intellilink R4.0 and most of the time it worked without any problems.
But since one week it didn't starts on the Intellilink.
The last systemupdate from my galaxy was something about four weeks ago and in the mean time everything worked fine.
Each time i connect my Smartphone as usual with the car the Android Auto App shuts down and in the smartphone notification it says that Android Auto is connectet but the Intellilink didn't starts Android Auto. It only offers me to change to my Galaxy s8+ but without any result. If i try to start the Android Auto App (while the smartphone is connected to the car and i tryed it once to change to the galaxy) the "Android Auto" app shuts down immediately.
I deleted the bluetooth-connection in my smartphone and in the car and reconnected both.
I deleted the cache & AppData from "AndroidAuto", "Google Play Service" and from the "Google App".
i deleted and reinstalled the Apps.
I also tryed to use two older versions from those Apps because i thought i updated them recently before it didn't worked anymore but without any success.
I tryed three different USB-cabels...
The data-transfer to my pc works so the USB-Port from the galaxy is okay. no one in my circle of friends has a Android Auto compatible car so i can't test it there.
Somewhere i could read that it could help to enable and disable the usb-debuggin in the devolopmentmode in the galaxy but it didn't helped.
Then i disconnected the Car Battery to make a Hardrest in the Intellilink and again no success.
Confusing was that last thursday on the way home, past 20min of connection and driving it suddenly started in my car and i could use everything as usually (Voice, Maps, Spotify).
But when i arrived home and disconnected the smartphone to try it once more it didn't started.
Till Today i didn't get it to work and i dont know what problem it could be or what else i can do.
The galaxy isn't rooted i don't want to root it.
Once i had a similar problem and some App updates fixed the problem so i'll wait for an update from "Android Auto", "Google-Play-Service" and the "Google App" to try it this way before resetting the galaxy to factory settings.
But I hope that someone can help me and has another idea what i can try to do.
with best regards

I have the same issue with my s9 on my astra. I might have a solution. Every time u connect your phone to your car and the after the notification in your phone comes saying android auto is connected go to photo gallery, search for any random video if u have in your app. Play it n hit back/return key on your phone. Yes its a bit of a struggle but mine one works every time i do this . Looks like a bug
