Hi everyone!
The bluetooth hardware on my zenwatch 3 died. I tried factory resetting the watch, and am now stuck at pairing screen for setup, since my watch won't connect to phone because of faulty bluetooth.
Is there any way to skip this pairing, or flash some image where watch is already setup? In desperate need of help. My zenwatch is totally bricked!! :crying::crying:
Highly appreciate any sort of help! The watch is out of warranty..
Why do you think it's broker?
I have reseted my watch today and had to forget the connections on wearOS list and Bluetooth list of connected devices. Try that and reset your watch and phone before start synchronization procedure.

I'm trying to take advantage of the new Lollipop SmartLock feature and have my Nexus 5 and my Nexus 9 connected via BT to the LG watch so they can both stay unlocked when close to me.
Android Wear is installed on the N5 and everything works (more or less) fine with the phone. But when I try to pair the LG watch with the N9 tablet it keeps saying "Connecting..." and then "Not connected" in an endless loop.
The N9 is able to pair, add the watch as a Trusted Device and SmartLock will work for a while but then stops and I need to repeat the whole pairing process for it to work again.
Anyone tried to use the LG Watch as a Trusted Device on both a phone and tablet at the same time?
Thanks,

I don't own any of these devices, but If I'm right, by reading the manual that came with the watch to you, you'll find out that you can pair watch only to one device at a time. To pair it to another device, you have to do factory reset for watch.
Some info HERE

Spere, thanks for the info.
Android Wear I understand; it can be paired with only one device <--> watch. But this is just bluetooth.
Otherwise, why would the LG G Watch R have a Settings --> Bluetooth Devices option where you can pair additional devices?

I just don't know. And like I said, I don't have this watch yet, but I'm going to buy it someday near.
I thought the same myself. If I remember right, Google made Android Wear devices able to connect to BT headphones to play music from watch itself. Now, if you can pair only one device to watch, does this mean that to connect to headphones you need to do factory reset and to pair back to phone do it again? This would be total idiotism, who really would do that? And I myself would also like to connect my watch (which I don't own, yet) to my Note 3 and Note Pro 12.2, this just won't seem to be possible right now, what I've read.

You already said it, but here it goes:
You can only pair one device <-> watch, the bluetooth settings on the watch are for bluetooth headphones / speakers, so it looks like this device --> watch --> bt headset and not device 1 --> watch <-- device 2

I have the Nexus 5, 9, and the original G watch, and have the exact same question.
I am using smart lock on my Nexus 5 which is paired to my G Watch through Android Wear. No problem there.
I am able to pair my G Watch to my Nexus 9 by going to Settings > Bluetooth on the watch and pairing with the Nexus 9. Upon pairing, the Nexus 9 displays a notification asking if I would like to add the watch as a trusted devices, just like with the Nexus 5. However, the only problem is that Smart Lock won't work because the watch is not connected to the Nexus 9.
So, in summary, you can pair the watch to Nexus 9, but Smart Lock doesn't work because it's not connected.
The G Watch is able to pair with multiple devices. However, as previously mentioned, it will only connect to devices that has the correct bluetooth services (i.e. speaker). Please correct me if I am wrong.
But it would be nice to be able to use the G Watch as a trusted device for Smart Lock on multiple devices, not just the phone.
I've got an lg urbane smart watch. It connects for a second every once in a while. Won't pair correctly. Please someone help. I hate having wasted money on this phone if the watch wont connect. Had HTC one me before watch worked flawlessly

hi,
Im sure it must be frustrating issue for you. I personally doubt if its just a Note5.. issue ? My reasons are,
I have a old Samsung Gear smart watch and it works 100% with Note5. I also have a Polar M400 hart rate watch with smart notification working 100% with Note5
I had no issues with the pairing of Bluetooth etc.
Long shot but,
Just something to consider....... some devices headsets/ watches still use old Bluetooth version eg Bluetooth v 3.0 and it might cause issues sometimes.? (not always)
I can remember when my Gear watch was still on Bluetooth v 3.0 i had issues connections between my old Note3 ( which was upgraded then to Bluetooth v 4.0 and Gear that was then still on Bluetooth v 3.0) Afterwards my Gear Bluetooth was upgraded to v 4.0 and i had no issues at all.
Bottom line,
If i could pair and use two completely different watches to work with Note5 flawlessly , then I'm sure you have hope?
good luck
How do I fix the issue if that is it

hi,
firstly, you must not assume it's like "it"
you must be sure of your facts.
Have you looked at your specs of your watch or Google specs to see what Bluetooth version it has. I found that it ( different Bluetooth versions eg 3.0 and v 4.0/4.1 did cause issues for me )
Who knows your watch might be / should be, v 4.0 /4.1 and not v 3.0..?
I only listed a possibility, that it could be and what i experience.
If it so...(it's v 3.0)
well then my logic says that its not Note5 fault but old firmware on watch and something that you just can't fix " just like that"
If its not so and watch is v 4.0 /4.1,
we'll then surely it should work, as i gave
2 x examples above.
good luck

Just in case I have to ask this but did you factory reset the watch yet? The only way to connect your smart watch that was previously synced to another phone is to factory reset it and then sync it with the new phone.
I have reset the watch. I'll try again. Thank you. While I'm at it I'll get the versions of everything

hi ,
i have thought about your issue .
This is what i would try ( trouble shoot )
Firstly ,yes unpair devices and factory reset watch ..good idea
also reboot device (phone ) after unpairing(..just in case .)
then connect and try to pair and see if working correctly ?
If not and issue is the same as before ,i would make sure about watch Bluetooth version .?
If watch is v 3.0 ( Note5 should be v 4.1 ? ) then it seems like this is the likely cause ?
If not and watch is either v 4. 0 or v 4.1 it should pair and pairing should be listed in phone Bluetooth list and "stick".
I can remember with my Gear watch ,when it was on v 3.0 , it would not show up or stick in Bluetooth list of paired devices .As soon as i went to v 4.0 on watch ,only then it show up and stuck in list
If all fails, well i would try to look for other solutions ..search or is there not a forum/setcion here on XDA( for watch) and check that for clues ?
good luck
Reset everything. Factory reset watch. Nothing. Factory reset phone nothing. Factory reset watch again. Paired fine.
Thanks for the help.
The PCB on my Zenwatch 3 has malfunctioned, and the watch is out of warranty.
I couldn't setup Wear OS 2.0 after I factory resetted my watch, as it requires Bluetooth pairing.
What I did was, I flashed AsteroidOS instead. Now I could just view time on my smartwatch, which really sucks. AsteroidOS supports my watch minimally.
Is there a way to revert back to Wear OS and bypass Bluetooth device pairing? That way I would have many smartwatch functionalities like alarms, watch faces, activity tracking, etc. I can live without always staying connected to my phone.
Any help would be highly appreciated. I love my zenwatch, and to be honest, I don't want the replacement at full cost..it's quiet expensive and now is nearly dead.
Please help out!!
P.S.: ADB works no more
it's an annoyance really. I have a Pioneer NEX-4100 and it has pretty nice bluetooth functionality as well as Android Auto, and i use both. I used to not have this problem so i think it's the phone. I have a phone (now) running android 7, and if i connect to Android auto all is fine, but the next time i try to connect to bluetooth, the phone requires repairing and asks me to enter the pin. Any ideas? LG-K20.
I started having the same problem with my phone, which was a Huawei P20 pro. Then I changed it to a P30 pro, but same thing happened.
This is btw with a Ford focus 2019, with standard radio.
After trying different things I found that if I let the car and phone connect via Bluetooth before the phone via cable for AA, then it stopped causing that problem
I have the same problem too, thanks for this tip.

I think it happens since the phone is not yet connected.
If you connect an unpaired phone, AA will start pairing process, which then causes the current pairing to fail for some reason
There s a module in Magisk that solve this problem
It's for Samsung phone
