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.

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 use BT at home daily for listening to music and netcasts. I have a couple of different BT speakers as well as the awesome Panasonic Link-to-Cell phone system for those who have dropped their home hard-wired phone lines. I also use BT constantly when I am in my car.
With my LG G2, BT connection was seamless and immediate, all the time, for years now. It connected to multiple devices as soon as I walked in the door and with my car audio as soon as I started my car.
With the N5, it always needs to be re-paired manually - especially at home where there are two devices waiting to pair with it as soon as I come home. It'll pair with the Panasonic phone, but when I select a speaker, the N5 disconnects from the Panasonic and then I have to re-pair with it. It will work once I spend a moment managing connections. In the car it often pares immediately, but sometimes not.
Another observation is that the N5's BT range is short, and it will drop if a line-of-sight gets interrupted momentarily.
In an attempt to fix, I have wiped the cache for both Bluetooth apps that come with the VZW N5 - that didn't help. Then, I wiped the system cache, also no dice. I wonder if this is carrier-dependent (I am on VZW) or something to do with older BT devices and the newer BT protocol that the N5 uses. I've read that the N4 has similar BT issues.
Overall, it's usable, but not as good as my old G2. Anyone else have these issues? Fixes??
This issue persists to this day. I can accommodate it with some manual intervention when I want to connect to my BT speakers.
Looking to get a BT 4.x speaker to see if it's just a BT version issue.
I only use Bluetooth in my car and I haven't had any issues whatsoever. Always connects as soon as I start the car and never drops the connection or anything. It syncs my contacts and everything just fine as well. I don't use Smart Lock however. Maybe try turning that off?

I think that's the case. For some reason samsung's 4.1 Bluetooth protocol is not backwards compatible. Ever since the s4 Bluetooth meta data has stopped working in my 2012 Mazda. Works fine with my N5 (nexus 5) and my LG G4. If I had to bet I think that's the issue with you. I could be wrong. Just thought I'd share.

Note 5 always works with my car, does not drop or anything but it has an unstable connection to my samsung gear circle headphones. I believe it is the 5.1.1 update, because they work with my wife's note 3 just fine and they used to work fine before the 5.1.1 update.
Did you ever resolve your issue? looks like some are successful after getting their device replaced and others are not and say the problem comes back. All seems to be related to the 5.1.1 update..
Bluetooth and Note 5, horrible combination

Thanks for writing. I found out that if I disable wifi, it connects a little better, though not as good as my wife's phone, Note 3 (my previous phone)
I tried to find ways to change the frequency it connects, but google was not helpful. Maybe some of the experts here could be helpful, I do not know.
Anyways, I tried to connect to our smart bulb yesterday. It would pair, but would never connect, wifi or not. On the other hand, the Note 3 connected to it immediately.
They keep updating the gear circle software but it is the phone fault, since gear circle is able to connect to my laptop from even another floor!
It's not the BT device... I have terrible luck with expensive purchases and my note 5 was no exception. I upgraded from a galaxy S relay (love keyboards) and about 1 month later my Bluetooth stopped working from all through my house to needing a DIRECT line of sight and max range of about 2 feet. Netflix, hulu, audible all pretty much useless with this issue.
I returned it and got a new one (not referbished) and I noticed a slight lag in key strokes. About 2 weeks go by and the bottom half of my screen is going haywire. Trying to scroll a Web page and it would click everywhere. Typing like I am now would result in 100s of extra letters I was never close to pressing. I returned it and got a referbished one and same thing... my 4th one which I'm using to type this just started doing the Bluetooth thing and I'm so mad.
It's not the Bluetooth device because I tried my old Plantronics I used for 5 years, my new Plantronics, my car, and these weird speakers that have water pumps in them and the issue was the same. I love this phone but it seems to hate me...

Quick question, do you have android 5.1.1 or 6? I still have 5.1.1 and thats when it started with the problems. It was all fine and dandy with android 5.0.
My wife has a Note 3 with 5.0 and the same headphones are just fine with it.
I have been waiting for android 6 to see if it works out.
My Note 5 upgraded itself to Android 6.0 and all my bluetooth problems are solved magically. I cannot believe how they can manage to screw up things for so many months and we have to wait for the new OS to have it solved. For Samsung Gear Circle none the less. I know I am not buying bluetooth watches or anything in case they screw up bluetooth again in an "update".
Hi all. I'm having alit of problems with my Bluetooth not connecting or not keeping connection.
1. Airpods not keeping connection.
2. My Fitbit Versa can't connect at all.
Just wondering if anybody else has this problem.

I'm using it with several bluetooth peripherals, like UE Boom 2 and Jabra Elite 65T with no issues whatsoever. The connection is good, never got dropped.
I haven't tried with wearables so can't say much about it.
I'm not having any issues with my Fitbit Ionic. That said, a few others at the Fitbit community are stating they have Note 9/Fitbit issues. (I have no issues with any other bluetooth device.)
Thank you answering. My Airbud issues have gone away but my Fitbit verge is still acting up.
Hopefully there is a fix for this soon.

No problems with my mini Jambox, Gear Fit Pro2, Sony and AKG headphones and my car's SYNC.
I'm having problems with the AirPods and my 512GB Exynos model:
Only when the phone is on a 2G network. Then the sound starts stuttering to the point that it cuts out completely. ALso the AirPods don't disconnect, they'll just cut out the sound. The Note 9 still detecs them as properly connected.
My Philips SBH7150 and Bose QC35II have no issues at all.
Can anyone with AirPods try to set their phone to 2G only and test this out?
So either folks have dropouts when the Note 9 or they don't? I've got Bose QC35II and a 9. When I put the phone in my back pocket I get cutouts. I did not have this issue with the Note 8.
Any opinions?
I did reset the BT app .. dumped data/cache and repaired to the Bose. It made no difference.
Never had this issues with my Note 9, had more bluetooth issues with my S7E but the way I fixed it was going to Apps > Show system apps>Bluetooth, the go into Bluetooth options and clear data/cache, maybe that will fix it for you. You'll probably lose paired bluetooth devices though, and need to re-pair.

Yeah, did that and rebooted the phone then re-paired the Bose QCII's with it.. It didn't help much. But the good news is I don't get drops when it's in my front pocket just the back pocket. I guess it's just how it is at the moment.
Thanks.
Old thread, but my s9 has horrible BT range. With airpods, even if I put my phone in my coat pocket, not pants pocket, the signal drops.
I know the airpods are good, they worked fine with my s9 plus.
I am continuously seeing a call issue when either a Galaxy Watch or Gear S3 is paired with my Note 9. This issue is seen on apps such as Whatsapp and Telegram. When the call is made, the call gets routed to the speaker on the watch instead of the phone by default. Because of this, the screen doesnt turn off when placed on the ear. On the bluetooth setting, the "Call Audio" is always enabled and "Input Device" is disabled. On trying to disable the Call Audio, the phone loses connection and pair. The watch then has to be re-paired to get it to connect again.
I first noticed this issue on the Gear S3. Thinking it was an issue with the watch, I sold that off and got the Galaxy Watch where is issue still persists.
I contacted Whatsapp and they said that its an issue with the device and not an app issue.
Has anyone else faced this issue? Any solution to fix this yet?
Reset and don't restore your settings. Follow the followinf link for details: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...owing-incoming-calls-anymore-wifi/td-p/193665
Hi guys,
I have this wonderfull galaxy s20fe, huawei watch gt2 pro and kenwood car bt. issue.
Before this phone i had huaweu p30 and had no issue.
Everytime you call or get a call, you need to choose kenwood bt from tiny arrow and then you can talk on kenwood headset which is very dangerous.
I have tried many health app versions, tried to re-pair devices in different order and only time everyhing is working, is, when the watch is not connected.
I would like to retain ability of my watch to get and do calls( I know it can be turned off)
Do you mastermind's have any tryout or solution to this stupid but annoying problem?
Thank you in advance
