So my issues thus far has been every time I turn my Verizon Note 3 on and off as soon as it try's to reconnect with my Gear 2 it wants to wipe the watch and go thru the whole install process again. Also no apps from the Samsung apps portion of gear manager are installing on the device. Obviously this is new so updates are to come but if anybody has anything that has worked for them especially with the reset part let me know please, and thank you!
FIXED!!!!!
So I wiped my OS (BahaRom 10) and reinstalled Samsung app store first and then updated everything first then connected watch. Now app installs work and its no longer asking me to wipe every time. Hopefully this will be helpful to somebody!!!!
Running on my Note 3
So I've had my R for a couple of months now, and it's been working fine, until after it was updated to 5.0.2. It stopped connecting to my Nexus 6, so I reset it. After that, the Android Wear app would never find it. I've wiped my phone, tried two other phones (Nexus 5 with Lollipop, Nexus 4 with KitKat) and nothing sees it. I haven't unlocked the bootloader or anything. It just sits at the "Install Android Wear on your phone" screen. Any ideas?

I'm having the same issue as you right now.. in the past when my watch is still rooted... I just need to clear the dalvik cache in recovery and it be fine... but now i restored to stock so I can't perform this.
any help?
I am having the exact same issue. And lately google play services and contacts and other things began randomly crashing ALOT on my verizon note 4. Nothing rooted all stock on phone and watch. Did our bluetooth radios die or is this a widespread problem with an update noone has documented yet? I need my watch lol. Any one else?

Did anyone figure out a solution to this? Is it the watch or the phone (i'm using an s6 edge)?
All i get is "install android wear on your phone" on my moto 360, and on the android wear app it doesn't find my watch. I literally cannot do anything on my watch but stare at the "install android wear on your phone" message. I only tried to reset my watch because it was connecting and disconnecting rapidly every 5-10 seconds for hours and was my last resort.
Anyone please help?!

I am having same problem as op, why would you not root again and wipe dalvik if that was working before, i have been trying to root so i can do this but i cant got stuck on twrp and would not boot to start up so i flashed everything back to normal and bluetooth will not show at all on any device...
I believe it has to do with the latest version of android wear. Ever since the last update a lot of people have been reporting the same and similar problems in the play store. A fix for me even though it is inconvenient is resitting the watch and re installing android wear. Every since the update I have to do that every couple of days.

what I do is first I unpair the watch from the phones bluetooth settings, then I uninstall android wear from the phone. Then I take the watch and I go under settings and reset the watch, once the watch is finished resetting I re-install android wear on the phone and re-pair.

Thanks but what about the root and all I have problem

ANSWER: after resetting your watch, you must unpair the watch from your phone, then go to settings/apps/android wear "clear data" . then start the whole pairing process again.

I've done every steps above: Factory reset my GWR, then on my phone I clear data in setting - apps - android wear then pair again. My GWR connect successfully but after sync app it disconnect, then my phone can not find the watch anymore.
I've done all these steps 5-6 times and the result still the same!

Pls help me.

This is what happened to mine. I tried all the things mentioned in this thread, but finally the only thing that worked was a hard factory reset (swipe from top left to bottom right over the LG logo when booting) and then leaving the watch on charger for like 3 hours and finally my phone could see and connect to it. I've heard this worked for others too.

what version was it on b4 i was having the same problem on 5.0.2 but after manual update to 5.1.1 everything works good.
im on 5.1.1 .
i think my bluetooth is broken
useless watch
I have tried resetting the Gear 2 Neo. When it restarts it goes back to the main screen. I go to Options and click Bluetooth. Sometimes a few seconds later it will say Bluetooth is disabled, sometimes it won't. The Bluetooth icon will never turn blue. My samsung devices will not find the Gear 2 Neo. I have tried a recovery by holding down the Home button while it is restarting and it still won't work.
sounds like your solution is an odin flash also. if your unfamiliar with the process, let me know. My root tutorial gives alot of info on that topic too
I'm having the same issue.
I'm having the same issue with my Gear 2 Neo and I downloaded Odin3 and I'm downloading the firmware from SamMobile as I type out this message. Please send me the directions for using Odin3 to flash the firmware to the Neo as this would be the first time I try this and I don't want to brick my smartwatch.
Thanks, :cyclops:
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???
Boowho
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

Hello Good People,
Can someone please help me with this newest issue.
I had installed Tizen on my Gear and everything seemed fine. A few times is would simply turn off throughout the night. This morning I went to turn it on and geot this message:
Your screen does not support OpenGL. Falling back to software engine.
I reflashed TizenMod and the afterwards the same message appeared. The watch is paired and connected to my phone, I can open Gear Manager but I cannot use the watch because of the message will not go away.
How would I resolve this?
T.I.A.
