I have LG R watch paired with Verizon HTC One. It was working fine until recent Android Marshmallow upgrade. Now the watch does not get the calls, but does get the messages but only via Coffee app. Also test notifications from Android Wear are not received by the watch, but updates for watch faces are coming through. One app, that I remove from the phone (Apollo Wear Launcher) still on the watch, even though I already went through factory reset of the watch and reinstalled Android Wear app! Also, weather updates and stock updates are no longer received by the watch...
I really like the watch, but I don't know now if it is the phone, new Android or the actual watch that cause all such problems. I think it is something to do with Android latest version since nothing else was changed for the phone or the watch.
Anyone have any suggestions? I tried everything possible except factory reset of the phone (I did it for the watch), but no luck.
Thank you for your help.

As title says I can't get the navigation cards to appear. They used to work initially on the original LG G Watch but since upgrading to the G Watch R I can't seem to get it to work. I say "OK Google navigate to ..." And it starts the app on my phone just fine but nothing pops up on my wrist. Am I missing something?
Same problem for me. Android 5.0.2. Latest Maps, latest Android Wear.
Same was here..
After i bought my watch it was on Android 4.4, after setup it with the phone it was updated automaticly to 5.0.1 and my navigation doesn't work. But today i've reset my watch and setup up again, and navagitaion works just fine. Maybe after system upgrade of the watch is good to do factory reset to effect of the new android.
Thanks for the reply lostindark, was hoping that would work for me but unfortunately it didn't. Just tried it and it still does the same thing. Just to confirm, you just tapped the reset from the settings menu on the watch right? I did that and it didn't work, then I also cleared the data on the wear app, re-paired the watch and still didn't have any effect Does the same thing mentioned in the OP, works fine on the phone and starts the maps app there but no cards on the watch.
Sorry to heat this, i reset my watch only through settings and notting more but it was worked for me. After the reset and pairing again android wear app put other apps automatically on my watch after that everything works just fine.
Thanks anyways for the suggestion mate, I ended up getting a Nexus 6 today and it is working just fine paired with this phone. Must have been something with my OPO but I have no idea what since it was 100% stock other than root.

I have been using my G Watch R with an HTC One M8 running Kit Kat 4.4.2 quite happily.
I just updated my M8 to Lollipop. I can see the G Watch, and pair with it, but android wear just reports " connecting to your watch" but never connects.
I have done a reset on my G Watch but still no connection
Any help or suggestions please
I had no issues with I updated my M7.
Reboot your M8 and see if that helps. If it does not, try uninstalling the Android Wear app from your M8, reboot and then reinstall.
Using m8 & GWR both on their respective versions of 5.0.1 without any issues whatsoever. This sounds weird... Could it be an issue with the Bluetooth on the m8 maybe? Can you use other BT devices? If not, I'd do a reinstall of the ROM.
I have reinstalled Android wear on My M8 and of course rebooted it and my watch several times.
I can connect with my Macbook and connection share fine via Bluetooth, so I dont think its a ROM problem.
You're running the stock ROM on the watch and phone right?
yes stock rom on phone and watch
I successfully paired and connected my watch with a Nexus 5 running Lollipop, and then after doing another 3 factory resets on the watch it has now successfully connected with my
M8. It appeared to be having problems with wear apps that were previously installed on my phone, so prior to the last attempt I deleted all the wear apps from my phone.
Anyway all good now!
Ya sounds really strange I was able to pair easily with both sense and gpe lollipop Roms without a hitch, just resetting the watch..
I'm having the same problem with my just lollipop-updated Galaxy S5 (Verizon). I've rebooted the watch several times which did not fix the problem. Trying a reset now.
The reset seems to have fixed the problem. Will see if it stays fixed.
Same here
Same problem. Watch connects, works fine for a few days, then won't connect any more. Needs multiple factory resets to get it to reconnect , then start all over again... and still only lasts a few days or a week before the connection fails. Only since lollypop update to my Nexus4. Spoke to LG, they deny the problem.
The problem is not the watch but Lollipop. It doenst matter what kind of mobile you use. Bluetooth on Lollipop is not working well. Not only for watches. Also car radios for example are loosing connection.
Now I am back on 4.4.2 with my Note 3 and everything works fine again. With Lollipop connection was lost too often.
I hope Google knows about the problem.

Just had this happen to me. Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6, Lollipop 5.0.2. Just lost connection with the watch, the watch can't see the phone. The phone sees the watch, but they won't pair. Bizarro. Doing a full reset of the watch, reboot the phone, try again...
Yesterday I flashed Google service to my Galaxy S6, which in 3rd party 's ROM. At first everything was OK. But today I found the app in phone was wrong. I can't manage my watch, and there's no information about my watch, but the watch is OK. I reset the watch and delete the app in my phone and pair them. The process is smooth even the watch was paired,but the app still wrong. There's nothing about my watch on it. Who can help me.
Even with WiFi, LTE and Bluetooth enabled not able to update or install new apps using Google play store on watch.
Just says downloaded pending and doesn't download anything. Tried for several days on wifi and off.
Should I reset the watch?
I had the same issue the other day. I tried everything I could but ultimately a reset is what fixed it.
Thanks I reset and it fixed. Now LTE is not working with Verizon.
I just started having this issue. LG Watch Sport with build NQF430. This is kinda ridiculous. Can't update or install anything. I really don't want to reset this thing again.
Just got my new Galaxy Watch 5. It looks great, very smooth appearance
Installed it in the usual way after removing all the old apps and starting from scratch including Watch 5 patch.
Good news - Galaxy Wear found the watch straight away and did the bluetooth pairing.
Bad news - Galaxy Wear immediately said "This watch is not supported on this phone."
I'll be having an other go later on, but it's looking like the watch will be going back.
If you have an older copy of Wearables try that after uninstalling the new version. Make sure you get all the apps for the watch.
Firewall block the old version's updates though before opening it... or it will update.
Conversely try updating everything including the watch firmware. Sequence* of your actions here can effect the outcome. Wearables can be quit the terror but I've always gotten my Buds+ to work right, one way or another
Samsung tech may be useful as may Samsung forums. It sucks but so does a lot of things; bennies for success, nothing for failure.
*trial and error, and yes it can take multiple attempts. DO NOT factory reset!
Clearing the system cache and especially a network reset may help. Make sure Wearables has all its permissions, CHECK!!! It will puke on you if it doesn't! No warnings why either
I've been back again, tried everything I learned in getting the Watch 3 to work. But this one is different, it's not like the failures before when something just doesn't work or goes into a loop. This is the first time Galaxy Wear has connected to the Watch and then said definitely that it is not comparible with the phone. I'm having bad feelings about it.
The other thing I would say though is, are Samsung going to sell the Watch 5 into China? If so it should work with Chinese phones - unless it has different firmware.
Watch 5 returned. Waiting for Pixel Watch.

Another horrible news about Vivo Security and policies.
Anyone had the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 to work with the Wear OS version from Vivo app store?
yes i have the watch 5 pro working i have had vio x fold,vivo x fold plus and now vivo x fold 2 and it worked on all
what you have to do is uninstall all the versions you have of samsung wearables and plugins then go to this link and install this version of wearables http://samsung-gear.apk.watch/2.2.41.21071361/for/huawei-honor-8
once that is installed open up the settings of ur phone go to bluetooth and connect to your watch then open up the wearables app and it will download an update follow it through and it will work perfect for you
just remember to set the wearable and watch os apps to be locked in the task killer screen and set the battery management to high power for the wearable and watch os apps to make sure you get all your notifications and for it to stay connected

I have both watch 4 and watch 5 connecting to vivo without any issues. Do not use the Samsung wearable app from the play store but use the above apk. Once the phone is synced, all the Samsung plugins gets updated to the latest version.
