Latest update killed my watch - Samsung Gear Live

The latest android wear update completely killed my watch. Will not turn on. If it does boot, it flashes then turns off. At one point had got into recovery mode, still didnt provide any relief. Now it just wont turn on.

Mine went without any problems.

I thought my issue was related to being caught outside in the rain, but now that you mention it I've been fighting the very same issue ever since I upgraded too. My watch gets very warm to the touch and the screen won't turn on at all while the watch randomly vibrates. Holding the power button will eventually get the "Samsung Gear Live" splash screen to show, but then instead of going to the Android boot splash screen the screen goes completely black.
Of course my 1 year warranty expired one month ago.

Try going back to original 5.x.x and leave it plugged in while it re updates. Sounds like a bad dl.

^This.
Mine downloaded the update without even being connected to my phone. It was just sitting on the charger connected to the Internet via WiFi and it downloaded the update while I was at work. I came home to it saying "Update Downloaded" or whatever and had it update without connecting to my phone once.
I'm not sure how to fix your watch tho. Unless you had USB debugging enabled in Developer Settings before it went haywire, I'm not sure how to restore it to an older FW.

Well another update hit me today and I had no problems with it either.

Nexus one stuck on boot screen

I dropped my nexus from about 4 feet and cracked the screen. I opened up my phone, and replaced the screen myself. Turned it back on, and everything except the wireless and bluetooth worked. I also notice that the phone has been extremely buggy, constant freezes. I used it like this for about 2 weeks.
Last night, i was talking on gchat, then plugged my phone in to charge and went to sleep.
I wake up this morning to find my phone wont turn on. I remove the battery, and turn it back on. Now it is stuck on the boot screen. I can get into the bootloader, but not recovery. I tried clearing the storage, still no luck.
I have tried to remove the battery for 20 minutes, removed both the sim and sd card, none of these worked.
The phone is unlocked with CM6 installed.
Under the circumstances, I think it's more likely to be a physical problem than a software one...

That's what I'm thinking too.....I was hoping it's not, and someone knew some trick or something.
Yeah I'd say your phone is toast only thing you can do is take it apart and see if there is any thing loose inside it connectors etc

Touch screen has mind of its own (now with working video)

Hi all I read these forums every night and dont think I have seen anyone that has this issue? (Touchscreen controlling itself)
Sorry about quality I only have 2 hands
I am stock ROM, no root and locked boot loader (I have tried custom ROMs get same issue)
P.S it happens randomly and is fixed for an undetermined amount of time after a reboot

Hmmmmmm it could be a hardware issue, maybe the digitizer wiring is faulty or some contacts on the screen are bad and causing shorting. Ive only ever gotten ghost touches from heat but nothing like what your video shows haha its like its possessed!
Sorry all. I forgot to make the video public. Should work now.
I'm thinking this is a hardware issue. What do you think?
I have turned on developer options and show touch option so when it does it again I will see exactly where its detecting input

Did you get any moisture in it? I was using my Nexus outside and if a snowflake landed on it it would register as a touch. Does tilting it have any effect on the phantom touches?

If it's plugged in, screen is dirty, and potentially if there is a screen protector on, all of those could potentially cause weirdness.
If none of those things, and a factory reset doesn't fix it, warranty it.
Thanks for your replies, I have been from stock to rooted and back effectively factory resetting twice, but I did reset again last night for good measure. I'm a clean freak when it comes to my tablet, use a lint free cloth on the thing regularly. the video was recorded after picking the device up after a period (whole day) of none use. Since turning on the developer options, sods law it hasn't happened again.. I was hoping it would point out for me where the input is detected. When it first happened it was clicking random things in Facebook.. I thought some app had hijacked my device!, its been happening for weeks.. But until now as it only happens a couple of times a day I have rebooted and shrugged my shoulders.. But as you can imagine it is getting rather irritating.. I'll see how I get on and warranty it if neccesary

It has been mentioned here a # of times, descriptive terms varied and there's another youtube video floating here - don't freak out b/c I went thru that myself with the older 16G WiFi model - to the point where I shut down the wireless router, change the IP & LAN address and zipped up the firewall settings tightly just to be sure, and, even turned put the N7 into airplane mode, and checked to make sure that Bluetooth & NFC were not turned ON or left on, etc. (It's like the N7 is running in a Remote Terminal mode when IT used "logmein" to take over our desktop when one of the update patches stalled ...)
Stock Rom was worst for me, 4.1.2 was better vs. 4.2.x but some of the newer custom Rom like "Smooth" were not as crazy as PA, which seemed to be in an endless loop ... I've returned it to local Staples & exchanged it for a (paid upgrade) new 32GB WiFi model - warranty work is definitely indicated (return the device to stock & lock up the bootloader, etc. & do a factory reset to clear everything before boxing it away)
Good luck.

Have you tried connecting it to Kies? Maybe you can get it to reflash or reset that way?

Yes!! I am having the exact same issue. I was told my an att rep to contact Silver light Inc out of California because they make it. I have not done it yet. I plan on going to an att store where I purchased it from. If you would like the silver light phone number they gave me, let me know.
Good news is our watches come standard with a 1 year warranty.
On mine, I noticed I can do a few things still. Right after it reboots if I hold down the home key for 1 second and let it go, I can get into the restart menu and it will connect to my phone, and I can then double press the home key to get to s-voice. As soon as I swipe down to get to the main screen, it shuts off.
Since this is a few days old...did you figure anything out yet?
As to the other user, the watch will not connect to the PC right now because it's stuck in a reboot loop.

AT&T gave me the wrong information. They gave me the information for the company that makes the Martian watch apparently. Damn AT&T.
having the same problem. Won't stop rebooting.
I'm having the same issue. I was woke up in the middle of the night to see my watch rebooting over and over and over. I let the battery completely drain, plugged it in to charge and it just starts the same reboot loop over and over and over, again. I was hoping to find some solution but doesn't seem like many people are having this problem and I don't know how to reset the watch, any ideas?

Let me tell you. ..samsung and att both are being a real pain in the ass about this. So here's what happened so far. I called samsung, they said call att. I called att, they said call samsung. I canned samsung and they said call att. I told them no. I said att told me to call them. Then samsung said take it to best buy and they can fix it. Best buy said they needed a reciept. I left best buy and went to att because this one doesn't have an att store inside. Att gave me the reciept, went back to best buy. The same guy at best buy (the samsung area) plugged it into his computer and 20 seconds later said he can't do anything I have to call samsung. So that's where I am at now. I am so pissed off. Best buy is not close to me. It's about 40 miles away. This is realllllly starting to piss me off.
If I was you I would call samsung for warranty information. If they tell you to call anyone else or go anywhere else tell them no and you want to send it to them for repair. I have a feeling it has to do with the newest software. I can't even figure out how to connect it to Kies or downgrade the software or anything.

first of all if this was clearly already mentioned, I apologize.
I ran into this trouble last night and just wanted to share how Samsung Rep helped me with this soft brick.
this is for someone like me who needed to hard reset the gear 2 neo.
my phone: Tmobile Galaxy Note 3
Problem: Gear 2 Neo would not boot beyond Samsung Logo.
Rootcause(s): 1) was notified to update latest Gear Manager software and update was done. 2) it causes reset on my gear in my case. and it reboot the gear, but it shut off the screen after the logo.
here is what Samsung Agent told me on the live chat.
Please follow below steps to perform hard reset on your watch.
Agent: 1) Power the device off
Agent: 2) Press and hold the Home/power key until you see the Galaxy Gear rebooting… screen
Agent: 3) Release the Home/power key and then continuously tap the Home/power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Agent: 4) Tap the Home/power key to highlight the Recovery option.
Agent: 5) Press and hold the Home/power key until the device resets. The device should now recover and restart
again. I couldn't find it in xda last night and I thought I share. if you want to update new Gear Manager, it's up to you. but it didn't help me with my Note 3 and Neo combo. but after this process, all is well. FYI : as all hard reset you will lose everything on the device and will be factory reset.
thanks,

Thank you for that. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me. Mine boots to a screen that says, "Rebooting". It only appears for 3 seconds, then restarts, and shows the screen "Rebooting".
Here is a video of what is happening, youtu.be/Ny8jghLZrYU
Same problem.
I'm having the same issue with my watch. It is essentially brand new. I've worn at maybe six or eight times since I got it. I feel like I've been horribly abused by Samsung over this , and I can't find anyone to help. Best Buy said they can't help me, and I had the same run around with Verizon and Samsung the other user was having with AT&T and Samsung. I know the watch might not be new tech now, but to me a six-year-old watch is not that old, especially when it has essentially not been used. The battery is good in it, the watch looks perfect and has no scratches, but it's stuck on the loading screen. If anyone has yet found a solution to this, please help.

[Q] LG G Watch R shuts down

I have a problem with my LG G Watch R. I use it just a week and in beginning it was all great, but after an upgrade(I think) to 5.0.1 my watch started to shut down randomly.
Sometimes when it shuts down I just turn it on and it works, but sometimes it wont turn on at all with button(holding it to 20 sec and nothing) only way to turn it on is to put it on charger until it turns on and than when removed from charger can be used normally until next shut down which could be for 5 min or few hours you can never know.
I tried to reset from settings and even form boot it and it didn't fix it. Can problem be in pairing it with rooted smartphone with unofficial rom or something like that?
I have also one shutdown yesterday for first time after 4 weeks and it is after 5.01 update.
I do not know why but it is possible that my hand position has pressed for more than 10s the power button ?

It is possible, but mine shuts down even when standing on table, and on my wrist. I thing it is some battery management issue because it somehow shuts about the same percentage of battery(about 70% than about 52% etc..)
I am faced with the same problem... Were you able to solve it?
Me too... same problem. I don't known why.
Same here. Had the watch for a week, first week everything fine now it just shuts down and I am unable to start it without the charger. I have just upgraded the software.

Not for me...Shutdown is done randomly. Sometimes it's just few seconds after a reboot, sometime it's after 1 hour, sometimes it works for few days...I had also a reboot
in recevory & fastboot mode...Sorry to say LG, but your hardware is not efficient
I sent it in a few days ago. Will let you know once I get it back
I'd make sure you don't have any Wear Apps causing problems. I found that "Advance Settings" caused mine to regularly crash.
True, but crashing is one thing. The Probolem here is that the phone shuts down all the time.
Just got a letter from the company that's repairing my watch. Due to a parts that's not available the repair will take some more time. They sent me a list of the parts that are going to be replaced:
PCB assembly
Rechargeable battery
Cover assembly
LG2 (no idea what that's going to be)
Anyway. I'm glad they are fixing it and I'm looking forward to get it back soon.

Replacement Note 7 Issues

I got home with my replacement phone, logged into my Samsung Account and restored my backup. Just downloaded and installed the latest update, I was charging via USB and everything was going fine. Started signing back into all of my accounts, the phone was extremely hot and it rebooted. After the reboot it was stuck on the T-Mobile screen and kept vibrating every few seconds. I booted into recovery and cleared the cache, rebooted and still stuck. Booted back to recovery and did a FDR, rebooted with it plugged into usb, restored from the cloud again and this time barely warm. Got it all setup again with no problem, just hoping this was a one time event as I was about to take it back and get something different.
Try turning off bluetooth. My device failed to establish connection with a device and kept vibrating like crazy until I turned it off.

Wasn't on, just wifi. Working great now.
I forgot my phone was still updating apps via smart-switch and took the N7 icon update. When it rebooted I was getting this screen where I couldn't do anything but get to the camera via home double tap, pull down the notification bar, and hold the power button to get to the power off/restart screen.
After 2 reboots I just left it alone for a bit so the apps could install/update. Rebooted it again and it was running back to normal. Pretty weird.
Was probably busy restoring stuff in the background. My phones get hot and slow during a new setup after flash since it has to download and reinstall all those apps and indexing. All those pushes the cpu

That's the screen I got before it went to the T-Mobile screen and just started vibrating. I had already done the update and updated all my apps, was just signing into one of the apps and it started. Ran good after the FDR and haven't had any issues the rest of the evening or this morning.

I used smart switch to restore from extSD but I only got one message from my old note! Exactly one! Two questions: 1. How do I get messages back/ (can I do another restore only selecting messages)
? 2. Is this the backup of messages?

Mine has begun to reboot 3-4 times in a row when charging. It also got hot once but was a few days after restoring so no problems with it being too busy restoring apps. I really don't want to set it up all over again but I guess I am about to have to in order to try to resolve this.
I'm not sure what is going on with the new devices mine appears to be overheating, I took off my case and saw a ring around where the battery is it was two different shades of Black. Sending back ASAP

You should be able to only choose messages. I know when doing the smart switch myself it gives me a list of options.
