Hi,
I found my LG Watch R in a box and it seems to work fine, though my phone (S20Ultra) can't find it. The phone itself finds it, but the Wear app doesn't. The helppage says WearOS 3 or lower isn't supported anymore? What the...? The watch runs on v2.35, I connected to my wifi but the watch keeps saying that it is uptodate?
Had the same exact problem a few minutes ago.
Resetting the watch 2 times helped for me.

As title says I can't get the navigation cards to appear. They used to work initially on the original LG G Watch but since upgrading to the G Watch R I can't seem to get it to work. I say "OK Google navigate to ..." And it starts the app on my phone just fine but nothing pops up on my wrist. Am I missing something?
Same problem for me. Android 5.0.2. Latest Maps, latest Android Wear.
Same was here..
After i bought my watch it was on Android 4.4, after setup it with the phone it was updated automaticly to 5.0.1 and my navigation doesn't work. But today i've reset my watch and setup up again, and navagitaion works just fine. Maybe after system upgrade of the watch is good to do factory reset to effect of the new android.
Thanks for the reply lostindark, was hoping that would work for me but unfortunately it didn't. Just tried it and it still does the same thing. Just to confirm, you just tapped the reset from the settings menu on the watch right? I did that and it didn't work, then I also cleared the data on the wear app, re-paired the watch and still didn't have any effect Does the same thing mentioned in the OP, works fine on the phone and starts the maps app there but no cards on the watch.
Sorry to heat this, i reset my watch only through settings and notting more but it was worked for me. After the reset and pairing again android wear app put other apps automatically on my watch after that everything works just fine.
Thanks anyways for the suggestion mate, I ended up getting a Nexus 6 today and it is working just fine paired with this phone. Must have been something with my OPO but I have no idea what since it was 100% stock other than root.

I have been using my G Watch R with an HTC One M8 running Kit Kat 4.4.2 quite happily.
I just updated my M8 to Lollipop. I can see the G Watch, and pair with it, but android wear just reports " connecting to your watch" but never connects.
I have done a reset on my G Watch but still no connection
Any help or suggestions please
I had no issues with I updated my M7.
Reboot your M8 and see if that helps. If it does not, try uninstalling the Android Wear app from your M8, reboot and then reinstall.
Using m8 & GWR both on their respective versions of 5.0.1 without any issues whatsoever. This sounds weird... Could it be an issue with the Bluetooth on the m8 maybe? Can you use other BT devices? If not, I'd do a reinstall of the ROM.
I have reinstalled Android wear on My M8 and of course rebooted it and my watch several times.
I can connect with my Macbook and connection share fine via Bluetooth, so I dont think its a ROM problem.
You're running the stock ROM on the watch and phone right?
yes stock rom on phone and watch
I successfully paired and connected my watch with a Nexus 5 running Lollipop, and then after doing another 3 factory resets on the watch it has now successfully connected with my
M8. It appeared to be having problems with wear apps that were previously installed on my phone, so prior to the last attempt I deleted all the wear apps from my phone.
Anyway all good now!
Ya sounds really strange I was able to pair easily with both sense and gpe lollipop Roms without a hitch, just resetting the watch..
I'm having the same problem with my just lollipop-updated Galaxy S5 (Verizon). I've rebooted the watch several times which did not fix the problem. Trying a reset now.
The reset seems to have fixed the problem. Will see if it stays fixed.
Same here
Same problem. Watch connects, works fine for a few days, then won't connect any more. Needs multiple factory resets to get it to reconnect , then start all over again... and still only lasts a few days or a week before the connection fails. Only since lollypop update to my Nexus4. Spoke to LG, they deny the problem.
The problem is not the watch but Lollipop. It doenst matter what kind of mobile you use. Bluetooth on Lollipop is not working well. Not only for watches. Also car radios for example are loosing connection.
Now I am back on 4.4.2 with my Note 3 and everything works fine again. With Lollipop connection was lost too often.
I hope Google knows about the problem.

Just had this happen to me. Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6, Lollipop 5.0.2. Just lost connection with the watch, the watch can't see the phone. The phone sees the watch, but they won't pair. Bizarro. Doing a full reset of the watch, reboot the phone, try again...
Anyone know what could cause the LGWR to not show a pair code during setup? Because of this, the watch is pretty much junk at this point.
I've reset it to factory settings over and over again and I still get the same results. I'm going to assume it's a bad bluetooth module which sucks but I figured I'd ask on here if anyone might have suggestions before throwing it on ebay as parts. (or the trash can if nobody buys it)
Here is a picture to show what I mean:

Had same problem ... a quick new installation of the Android Wear app on my mobile and a reboot of both watch and mobile fixed it .... CouldnĀ“t connect the watch after a reset! Tried to reboot/reset watch and mobile many times w/o succsess ... had to do a fresh installation of the AW app then it worked ....
Hope that helps ....
I've tried that repeatedly and even tried flashing different versions of android wear and still no dice. I've contacted LG and that will be my only option aside from eBay it looks like.

Well try this (I had the same problem and find a solution not very orthodox but it works). If you have a tablet or other phone pair with him. Now with the watch paired with other phone/tablet, search in the watch Bluetooth definitions the phone that you really want to connect! This will give the code to the phone! Now, reset the watch and try to pair with the wanted phone!
Give a try... It works with me! Several times!
With Wear app? If watch was paired with another phone, then hard reset will help. Also, that code on picture is strange to me. Mine is with some numbers and letters...

That's the problem is it's not generating a pair code....it's blank! The first time I paired it, it had a pair code but now it doesn't. I have reset it more times that I can could trying to get it to pair to my phone, my tablet, my wifes phone, my kids' kindle fires....nothing works because none of them see the watch.
I sent it to LG to repair under warranty so we'll see what happens from them.
Had same problem just 2 hours ago again. About a dozen reboots and resets on both watch and phone and no pair code ... Deleted the wear app from phone, fresh installation from play store ... and it worked again? .... Sorry that i can't be more of a help than this even i know you tried it allready ...

Hey, I appreciate people still commenting in case anyone else might have this problem and their suggestions might help someone. For me, I uninstalled the app, tried it on other phones and tablets, I even reinstalled a new version of android on my phone just to have a clean slate and still nothing. I tried installing numerous versions of android on the watch and it always did the same thing....no pair code on that screen I posted a picture of.
When I contacted LG they said it sounded like a bad bluetooth module and I sent it off yesterday to be repaired by them so hopefully they get it repaired without trouble.
Same problem here. No solution so far.

I sent the stupid thing in and they "worked" on it and replaced the charging port on it and sent it back.....of course since I told them it was the bluetooth module and it wouldn't pair with any device then fixing the charging port obviously didn't fix it. I've emailed them again but they haven't responded. Idiots!
Sorry to hear that. So they didnt fix it?
Sent from my LG-H815 using XDA Free mobile app
No, they didn't fix it. I did a live chat with one of the people at LG yesterday and he's putting me in for another repair so I'll be sending it off tomorrow again. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
same for me. the only thing that help me is to send it to lg in korea for fix under warrenty.
try to put the watch in the refrigirator for 10 min. and try again . it will show the 4 digit code and you will be able to connect but not for long.
It's official.... LG is the worst company to deal with in my experience. I have sent the watch a total of 3 times now and they will haven't fixed it correctly. First time they replaced the charging port, second time they fixed a "diode" and third time, the bluetooth module (supposedly). Still does the same thing..... Sits on the "install android wear" screen and won't do anything else.
I've lost confidence that it'll ever get fixed and I'll probably just sell it on eBay for parts and chalk LG up as a company to never buy anything from again.
Hey, I just got this issue
tried factory reset using watch and bootloader still no good*.
tried connecting using Bluetooth settings on my phone and still no good*.
enabled usb debugging and Bluetooth debugging on watch, then installed wear mini launcher on watch using abd(using cable) , then some magic happened and after i pressed the button on my watch it showed a pair code but not the screen from startup settings, then i tried connect using phone Bluetooth settings app and it connected, still android wear says it's not connected but when i tried again using android wear it finally did connect.
I know it is not a guide to resolve this problem but now my watch is working.
Don't know if this will work only when installing wear mini launcher or any app.
Still hope this will help some peoples.
Now I'm afraid to flash my phone again.
*no good= no pair code
EDIT:
I also enabled everything in the development menu containing bluetooth
I've just got myself a Watch R and am having a problem similar to this. When I try and start the watch, it asks me to pair the watch with my Samsung S7 edge. No problem. It sees the watch and the watch sees the phone. It updates, and syncs however, then it asks me to pair it with my phone which it doesn't see. The watch nor the phone shows itself as knowing that each other exists. I have tried reinstalling Androidwear, restarting the phone and watch several times. I also have an LG Urbane which is registered (although switched off) with androidwear.
HELP!!!!
I have LG R watch paired with Verizon HTC One. It was working fine until recent Android Marshmallow upgrade. Now the watch does not get the calls, but does get the messages but only via Coffee app. Also test notifications from Android Wear are not received by the watch, but updates for watch faces are coming through. One app, that I remove from the phone (Apollo Wear Launcher) still on the watch, even though I already went through factory reset of the watch and reinstalled Android Wear app! Also, weather updates and stock updates are no longer received by the watch...
I really like the watch, but I don't know now if it is the phone, new Android or the actual watch that cause all such problems. I think it is something to do with Android latest version since nothing else was changed for the phone or the watch.
Anyone have any suggestions? I tried everything possible except factory reset of the phone (I did it for the watch), but no luck.
Thank you for your help.

Hello everyone,
first I'm sorry for my english and hope you understand everything.
I'm using Android Auto since two years with the same smartphone a galaxy s8+ (Android 9) in my opel corsa e on an Intellilink R4.0 and most of the time it worked without any problems.
But since one week it didn't starts on the Intellilink.
The last systemupdate from my galaxy was something about four weeks ago and in the mean time everything worked fine.
Each time i connect my Smartphone as usual with the car the Android Auto App shuts down and in the smartphone notification it says that Android Auto is connectet but the Intellilink didn't starts Android Auto. It only offers me to change to my Galaxy s8+ but without any result. If i try to start the Android Auto App (while the smartphone is connected to the car and i tryed it once to change to the galaxy) the "Android Auto" app shuts down immediately.
I deleted the bluetooth-connection in my smartphone and in the car and reconnected both.
I deleted the cache & AppData from "AndroidAuto", "Google Play Service" and from the "Google App".
i deleted and reinstalled the Apps.
I also tryed to use two older versions from those Apps because i thought i updated them recently before it didn't worked anymore but without any success.
I tryed three different USB-cabels...
The data-transfer to my pc works so the USB-Port from the galaxy is okay. no one in my circle of friends has a Android Auto compatible car so i can't test it there.
Somewhere i could read that it could help to enable and disable the usb-debuggin in the devolopmentmode in the galaxy but it didn't helped.
Then i disconnected the Car Battery to make a Hardrest in the Intellilink and again no success.
Confusing was that last thursday on the way home, past 20min of connection and driving it suddenly started in my car and i could use everything as usually (Voice, Maps, Spotify).
But when i arrived home and disconnected the smartphone to try it once more it didn't started.
Till Today i didn't get it to work and i dont know what problem it could be or what else i can do.
The galaxy isn't rooted i don't want to root it.
Once i had a similar problem and some App updates fixed the problem so i'll wait for an update from "Android Auto", "Google-Play-Service" and the "Google App" to try it this way before resetting the galaxy to factory settings.
But I hope that someone can help me and has another idea what i can try to do.
with best regards

I have the same issue with my s9 on my astra. I might have a solution. Every time u connect your phone to your car and the after the notification in your phone comes saying android auto is connected go to photo gallery, search for any random video if u have in your app. Play it n hit back/return key on your phone. Yes its a bit of a struggle but mine one works every time i do this . Looks like a bug
