Hi Experts , after the latest update to Android wear, my watch worked almost fine the whole day but then suddenly the display become distorted - have rebooted the watch multiple times but of no avail.
Thou the watch was connected but was useless as i cant see anything. I then unpaired it hoping that a factory reset might fix but that didnt help either. I suspect the display has become faulty or some other hardware error --- your thoughts please?

I would try to flash the latest firmware image again. If that doesn't work it might be time to claim under warranty.

I have constantly been having the problem where on android wear on the phone the status is "connecting..... connected..... conecting.....connected" a factory reset on the watch has usually fixed this issue but this time no matter how many times I have reset the watch uninstalled android wear and reinstalled I am unable to to get the watch to connect to my galaxy S6. I have this morning connected it to my old HTC one and it worked first time so Im leaning towards a problem with the phone rather than the watch.....

Any advice on this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!
While playing around with getting TWRP installed on my Gear live things went South.
I can no longer get into any mode (fastboot, recovery, bootloader) except regular boot; using the "normal" method of hold-power-button and swipe diagonally once or twice. No matter how much I swipe, it will ONLY boot to regular system.
However, as soon as the boot finishes it asks for language and then hangs with message saying I have to "install android wear in your phone". Wear is already on my phone, but it will not pair with the watch.
I figure if I can't get into one of the modes mentioned above, there is no way to un-brick the watch. Hopefully, one of you will prove me wrong.
HELP???

Similar issue with Samsung Gear Live watch....
I had a similar issue...... My Gear Live kept doing to the same " install android wear in your phone" message...
I use a Galaxy S6 Edge + to pair it with, not that the type of phone probably matters.... I did several, and i mean several reboots / reinstalls / restarts/ factory resets/remove and reinstall android wear... . finally called Samsung tech and they said it wasn't fixable and i needed to buy a replacement.
I am sorry, and don't know how i got 'lucky', but a few days later, before i gave up totally on it.. it did an OTA update and asked if i wanted to install it !! after that it asked for another update, and another update and another update. Each time it brought the ' security patch level closer and closer to the current date ( it is finally up to sept. 5,2016 )
Android Wear on the watch is now 1.50.3287245
Play service is 9.8.77
Android OS is 6.0.1
and with these updates it now has wi-fi capability ( yes - Gear Live has wi-fi )
All this happened right when i was about to give up on it / Now it works perfectly , updates from my phone with new watch faces immediately , etc.
very very cool watch.
ps. I did also read several, and i mean several posts all over the internet about the Gear Live and its issues. ( sorry, i don't have all the links, but sure if you google you can find the same ones i went to ) I did turn on NFC ( near field Comm) on my phone, as well as bluetooth and wifi.
There is a youtube video that walks you through factory resetting it... I did so many resets and downloads and re downloads ( I was on a mission ! ) Now, finally works like it should and have had zero problems with it for the past several months !

Good Luck - just keep trying - sorry i don't have a 'real' solution.
ps. currently using the 'Black Classic' premium watch face - very customizable, lots of features and user friendly.
pss. I haven't posted to a forum in YEARS , but with all the frustration i went through I thought maybe my few tidbits might help you .. I truly had given up, when these updates started to come through -
Best wishes.

Thanks for you interest....... I've been trying numerous re-boots, factory resets and other things. I can't get the watch to pair with my phone; so OTA update is not going to happen..
Can't get into fastboot/recovery mode either. The only thing I CAN do is get into DOWNLOAD mode, but I don't have then correct firmware files in ODIN format.
Thanks

I recently got a hold of my mum's K30-W which she had said she was having a few issues with.
The main issue was it's slowness, so via hard-booting I reset the phone to factory settings and cleared the cache. After doing this, I allowed the phone to start up to Android(4.4.4). A minute after starting the phone, it restarted itself - I remedied the slowness, but a this issue arose. This happens everytime the phone starts up into Android.
When the phone is in recovery mode this doesn't occur, which makes me believe this is an OS issue rather than something wrong with the button itself.
I have checked the firmware and it is the S025, I think either this or the OS being upgraded could solve this issue, but can find neither update on Lenovo's site. I haven't touched the Android scene since 2012 any advice on how to continue would be greatly appreciated.

I have this annoying problem with my 2 month old p9!
The bluetooth keeps turning off by its self! I got my LG G Watch R a month ago, and sometimes it happened that it lost its connection, but it came back by its self...
But lately the bluetooth icon in the notification bar just turns off! Randomly....
EMUI 4.1.1. EVA-L09
The only solution google keeps finding is reset your phone... but i don't want to! Its a pain to reinstall everything to my needs...
Is this perhaps a power saving thing that i can turn off?
try to wipe cache partition by turning on the device while holding power and volume up button together, from there choose wipe cache partition,it will solve most of the problems
I tried it, unfortunately it didn't help
Any other ideas?
Another problem with the Bluetooth.
I bought a gamesir g3s gamepad.
After I connected it, I tried a few games.
I noticed a 1sec delay when I pressed the XYAB buttons. The direction pad or the analog sticks worked with no problem, no delay. At first I thought I had a defective gamepad, but after connecting it to my gf note 4, it worked flawlessly.
I paired it again with my p9, and it worked normally.... For a few minutes... Then the delay came back... If I reset the developers option to defaults (I didn't change anything, I just reset it) the delay disappears for a minute, but it comes back...
My question is, is the Bluetooth so bad in this phone or did I get a faulty device?
try update to nougat,if still u have problem after updating so i think u have faulty device.i don't have any problem using Bluetooth in nougat ,before in MM i had some problem but fix by doing wipe cache partition,but still on nougat more stable
OK, but I still didn't receive the update.
I guess I will have to wait a bit...
It is annoying though...

Yea... I just figured it out Downloading the update atm
So after the update everything works ok now. Second day without a disconnect ?
I'm happy :laugh:
Hi there i am having the same problem how did you manually update your system?
You should be able to basically reinstall your system software using the OTA software update app already installed on your phone. Basically it'll reinstall the same OS again on itself without wiping data.

I fund the solution here on this forum. In hicare you need to go under service, and select os early adopters...
Look out up ☺
True, I am on EMUI 5 and Android 7 and no issues.
I have the same issue and I'm on Nougat. Sometimes I find the Bluetooh turned off with no explanation. Wipe of cache partition and data didn't help. Someone else with this problem?
When updated to 7, did you factory rest the phone? If not, you should. It will almost 100% fix the problem.
I am complainig about heating protection showing everi time reach temprature 104fht on my devise p9
Hi,
I have started to get this weired issue after the 8.1 update.
Whenever I receive a call, after picking up the speaker phone turns on automatically. I have to manually turn off the speakerphone, also it does not indicate that the speakerphone is turned on.

Solution is mostly the same for all of the problems.
Do full factory reset.
Setup Google account
Don't install any apps just yet.
Try if problem still exists
In most cases this will help.
What I've learned since my first android device, all of the custom ROMs etc, is that the updates are causing loads of problems.
Once in a while, especially after version upgrade, is worth doing full reset just after updating.
This doesn't apply not only to android, but pretty much every single device on the market.

Thanks for the suggestion, But by full factory reset do you mean the hard reset from the recovery menu or just the factory reset from settings menu -> factory reset..?
facing same issue please help
i am facign the same issue please help me out
Still no solution for the problem...I have made an habit to turn speaker phone on and off immediately after calling .
Try Macrodroid app to set an automatic task, to turn speaker off 1 or to seconds after receiving call.
I am also facing Same issue, can any one give suggestions
Somehow that happened to me when I just got the phone a few months ago. I think that was still on 8.0.
But tapping the speaker phone button 2 times everytime I have a call became nature for me and eventually after a few days, I no longer have that issue.
Are you still having that speaker phone issue now?
Yes...but while it was consistent on 8.0 it has become a random occurrence after 8.1 update
same issue
factory reset solution is not acceptable.
