This has bothered me since long time, on several wear os watches. Problem is the following:
I have currently a samsung fold 4 and a samsung watch 5 pro LTE (but i've had the problem on other devices too in the past, al wear os devices).
When the watch is connected through bluetooth there is not a single issue. If i have my phone on the table for several hours, while not touching it, all notifications are instantly pushed to the watch, no delays.
However, when i leave my phone at home and going out with my watch only, it will correctly switch over to LTE connection and there the problems start. When my phone is recently used (few minutes ago) the watch can establish a remote connection. At that moment al notifications are pushed to the watch, almost no delays. However, after a while, usually within 30 a 60 minutes the notifications start to be delayed, and even the remote connection just stops (seeing the disconnected symbol on the watch). also sending messages or replying them on the watch is instantly and correct at first, but starts to fail after a while.
It seems like the google cloud sync service is killed after a while on the phone, preventing the forwarding of phone notifications to the watch over LTE (cloud sync). I tried everyting on my samsung phone, changing the battery optimizations of all samsung wearable apps and plugins, google apps, play service etc... I turned of as many battery saving features i could find on my phone, but no luck. If i leave the phone on the charger, the cloud sync keeps working for a longer time, but agian, ofter some time it will slow down, starting with unablity to reply or send messages from the watch, to complete disconnection... Al this while the internet connections on the phone and watch are rock stable...
Has anybody any clue why this happens?? Is there some trick or setting i overlooked? Does anybody know which app or service on the phone (samsung) is responsible for this google cloud sync?
again, this is not only on this phone-watch combo, i had several wear os watches from different brands in the past, but mostly samsung flagship phones. I cant believe that two samsung devices are not software optimized so these issues cant happen... I always bought LTE watches so i could go for a run or go to the gym phone free, is brilliant when it works, but VERY annoying when it usualy is not reliable.... I'm thinking even to switch to the apple camp, hoping those issues are not present on apple watch cellular... But i like samsung devices more then iphone ....

Does anyone know exactly what is causing this problem because it continues to happen across different ROMs and different Radios. Is there some fundamental reason why the X1 can't maintain a connection with IM clients?
I'm on T-mobile in the UK and running the valkyrie_V3 WWE ROM. Windows live messenger will disconnect if i put the phone into standby for as little as a minute and sometimes even when I'm in the middle of messaging. I keep getting messages saying "wireless connection not available trying to reconnect" or something similar.
I've tried IM+ and while that doesn't give disconnection messages it's doing the same thing as i have tested it using different accounts.
I can't get ebuddy working on this ROM because it won't let me enter the password for some odd reason but that has had the same problem with other ROMS in the past.
Has anyone found a solution to this or is it something to do with T-mobile settings?
I should point out that throughout all this i maintain a good signal of at least 2 bars and according to the phone the data connection hasn't dropped.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
i used to use AOL's own mobile-based IM/chat client for AIM, and it always kept me connected without problems no matter what. only problem was it was INSANELY slow.
i've switched to slick, which i'm not crazy about, and i'm having the same problems as you. i'll randomly get disconnected with the phone sitting with full HSDPA reception, not going into sleep or standby....i thought it was just slick's crappy programming
Which network are you on?
Also are you 100% sure AOL used to stay connected because i thought the same thing about IM+ but a lot of my messages weren't getting returned. I signed into 2 different accounts, one on PC one on phone to test and it turned out the same thing was happening just not as obviously.
This is really frustrating, my old K800i used to stay connected to windows live for days at a time, my friends blackberry also has no trouble staying connected.
i too have the same problem, we need the xda gurus to fix this, hopefully they would be able to do so in the near future

pretty sure it was connected constantly. i had some pretty lengthy text sessions and i never got any error messages (IM not received, user not on, signed off, etc). i mean, i can never be 100% sure, but pretty sure. i only used it fo ra couple weeks before getting rid of it, it was creeping death slow for some reason
I'm too really desperate for a solution to this problem. My device is a HTC Touch Pro2 running Windows Mobile 6.5.
The case is that I will launch a new business site in just a few weeks whos customers are for the biggest part young intellectuals more often than seldomly really integrated with the modern IT-development. Hence I've always wanted to add the Windows Live messenger plugin to the site so that our customers can have a live chat completly anonymously without having their IP traced and logged which is the case for the markets paid services. Furthermore, the msn live plugin is completly ad free and doesn't cost a penny. The paid services out there that other corporations use for their live chat often comes with an URL to the host even though the customer are paying for their live chat module. The most important part though, is that I can bring with me Windows Live Messenger wherever I go which for the most part is a complex and not even that usual solution in the paid service segment. I think you can understand my problem now =) I'm just desperate to have my live messenger in the phone ALWAYS and ALWAYS stay connected.
For an example of the plugin I'm refering too have a look at my personal website:
martinandersson.com
A little more specific information describing what really happens with my device:
Windows Live version: 10.7.0061.0500.2000. Language: Swedish (Also the language of my OS).
I am running the client non-exclusivly. It always stays in the taskbar and never quit on me unlike what happens to programs that stay open running in the background for a longer period of time. In that way, it works great.
The main Windows Live window's (which are displayed and runned as a seperate program) options/settings are set to sync my e-mail although the frequency are set to "manual" and the other options below this drop box are for some reason greyed out. I guess this has to be interpreted as if live doesn't sync my mail at all, which I like being that I do not have an hotmail account or need this feature in any way.
The status of my phone always always show two small 3G icons (one just '3G' and one '3G' above a meter) and if I click in this field I see a ticking clock which shows that it is indeed connected to internet ever since my phone's last reboot. This has never been in any other way. Still, I did download the DiamondTweak and enabled the "internet always on" feature, but again, I do not think that really was the issue and from what I can tell, the DiamondTweak just hasn't made any difference at all.
One detail of great importance is this; Whenever I browse the internet, update my rss feeds or switch to the messenger contact list window through the taskbar, the 3G symbols changes to display an H. That tells me that this "H" must show for the phone to have a "real" internet connection? Could this be the trick, one has to find a fix to always have the H show? If that would be the case, I just can't understand why the phone says it is indeed connected to the internet when there's just a 3G-symbol in the status. Anyways..
Even though the messenger dies completly and just as what this threads owner wrote, shows a "wireless connection lost" message when I swich to its contact list window, it sometimes live for quite a while. The thing is that it just doesn't get the message instantly. The phone can be in standby mode (really haven't figured that thing out, everybody keeps saying "standby" mode but for what I can tell all that happens is that the display goes of) for sure, and then I write myself a message through the live chat plugin on my site but it takes about 6 to 10 minutes for the phone to give a sound and notice me of this message. And again, for the most part the live messenger doesn't stay alive for that long, the sites plugin goes offline and then if I turn the phone's display on and access the live messenger it says that the wireless connection has been lost and reconnects.
Moreoever, it never gets my plugin to go back online either. For that part to happen, I have to first get online with a desktop client and then again login with my phone. For if I stay online with the desktop client, the phone's client is indeed alive, but won't receive any messages. I have to reconnect with my phone so that my desktop client gets thrown out. But of course, is just a matter of time before my live chat module and my phone's client gets offline and I have to do everything over again. The really annoying part is that the phone's client dies a long time before the site's plugin catch up and goes offline. Hence I might loose a lot of customers who think they are chatting with me but never get a reply.
Given the description above, I think the problem really is that live messenger doesn't ping or talk with its server that often, IF the phone is in standby mode. If it isn't, if the display is turned on, I recieve my messages instantly and everything works just fine. Sure there must be an easy fix for this problem, a small edit to be done in a config file somewhere?
All help and all problem experience is much appreciated.
So I've got a new Samsung Gear Live from the Play Store. I'm attempting to pair the device to a Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Gear Live I'm prompted with selecting a language. I choose English US. Then i'm taken to the "Install Android Wear on your phone" Screen
At first this screen would show me the text "Gear Live 4AFV" (or something along those lines). However 9/10 (after rebooting or resetting the watch) it will simply show me "Gear Live" no 4 digit name.
Without the 4 digits showing the phone will not detect the bluetooth device to connect. On the off chance that it does show up and the phone is able to detect the watch, the pairing process can either work, or stall leaving both devices sitting at a "wait a moment while pairing" screen that never ends.
Lastly, if everything works and i'm able to pair the watch and phone. it will randomly disconnect and nothing I do will make it reconnect to one another.
Other things to note. Bluetooth has no issues on my phone with any other device.
I've reset the watch numerous times,
I've uninstalled the Android Wear app as well as any other watchfaces or launchers.
I've factory reset the phone.
Suffice it to say i'm almost certain there is a problem with the watch, the question is has anyone else experience this or anything similar with a Reset hasn't fixed the problem and is there possibly a solution to this problem that isn't a replacement.
Google has offered to replace the watch but I want to ensure I"m not missing something here.
thanks for any assistance in advance.

I have the same connection issue but not until I updated it to Android version 5.0 that I started to get connection issues and the gear live was constantly doing a sync loop and it would not stay connected or send SMS messages.
Hi Guys. I'm a new LG Urbane owner, currently using the watch with my iphone. One of the reasons I bought this watch over the Moto360 was due to the wifi implementation. However, I cannot seem to get a wifi setting to show up in the menu at all. Is this because I'm using it with iOS or is something else the issue? Anyone have any experience with this issue and iOS? I haven't been able to find anything in regards to this no matter how hard I search.
Any help would be appreciated.
I haven't used the urbane with iOS, but if you aren't even seeing the setting on urbane, it may be because of iOS restrictions.
I use the urbane with my nexus, and while WiFi works find on the urbane, I haven't even bothered enabling it. Odds of me leaving home without my phone are negligible. If I'm at a new location, I will need the phone to set the WiFi connection up for the watch.
I'm sure WiFi connection is useful to some folks - I'm not one of them
I got my LG Watch Urbane yesterday and had the same issue. A coworker has an Android phone so I did a factory reset on the watch and set it up with the Android phone. Sure enough, the wifi and Bluetooth settings showed up with a whole bunch of other features. After doing a factory reset and setting up the watch with iOS on my iPhone 6, wifi and Bluetooth were gone. We have Apple to thank for this. Maybe in a near future update, they will open up more options to us, restricted iOS users.
YOu must be getting wifi/bluetooth to get notifications from your iphone???
I get Fitbit, Email, Paypal notifications from my iphone6. I can also control my music pause/play on watch screen - slide to get back/forward/volume up/volume down. I also get local weather.
I soon realise that you can't link the Urbane to more than one device I was hoping to link to my Nexus7 to get watch face etc but this just won't work. Hopefully, there will be other updates to Android Wear IOS and 3rd part face apps on itunes??
Please excuse this post which is not strictly concerning an Optimus Black. There's no forum for an Optimus Zone 2 (VerizonPP) but I hope this is a common enough issue which must have broader application.
I'm using an Optimus Zone 2 as a replacement for my recently deceased and much-loved Insignia Pilot. The rise of the smart phone has meant the demise of really capable mp3 players like the Pilot but I realized that an Android device would allow me to find music, audiobook, and video apps that might come close to replacing my Pilot.
I've got the phone, by-passed the activation, rooted, customized. The battery is not as long-lasting, but there is a lot going on "under the hood", so that's OK.
I have 3G disabled, WiFi off unless used. My only real complaint with my setup is the annoying nag notification that comes up when I power up the phone concerning the lack of a data connection. It wouldn't be so bad if it would just go away by itself, but no, I have to dismiss it with a touch. I've disabled every phone related app I can find, turned off notifications for those it would not let me disable. And still it's there.
Is there a way to get rid of something like this?
[no, I don't use the device as a phone--although I have GrooveLite Ip installed for emergencies when WiFi is available. I don't own a cell phone. Have no use for one. But it's hard to beat a $30 "mp3" player running KitKat!)
I bought a pixel 5 to do courier work, I just needed something reliable with good battery life to run GPS and a handful of delivery apps.
Since the day I bought it I have had problems with notifications on mobile internet, for the most part I don't get any for any apps until I connect to wifi, then they all come flooding through at once.
I have tried every fix ive come across, changing from 5g to 3g, installing a heartbeat fixer app, changing background battery and data settings. Sometimes they seem to work, sometimes restarting the phone works but nothing sticks. I have spent hours talking to google support, they have made me factory reset 3 times, it normally fixes it at first, but last time it didn't and even with a completely fresh OS I wasn't getting any notifications on mobile internet, I tested by emailing my gmail account before installing any more than the default apps.
I should note that I have a strong internet connection the entire time, If i open gmail and refresh it the emails are there, I just don't get notifications for them until I connect to wifi.
The lack of notifications breaks a lot of apps as it seems they rely on the notifications or whatever protocol they use to work. The big issue for me is one of the courier app will give me no runs unless notifications are working.
Anyone have any ideas? I'll happily paypal anyone who can suggest a permanent fix $50 lol, if not I'll have to buy a different phone.

Sounds like you have a lemon on your hands.
I don't suppose you're using a VPN? I've had all sorts of strange issues with notifications and using a VPN as when the phone goes to sleep it can disconnect you from the network.
Or apps like Netguard where you can set apps to connect to either the wifi or mobile network or restrict them.
If you have no apps installed that can restrict your network usage then it seems your phone might have a problem.
No, even straight after a factory wipe, no notifications, that seemed to coincide with the latest pixel update a few days ago because nothing I tried would get it to work which is why I factory reset and for the first time it wasnt working after the factory reset either.

I don't suppose it's something simple as...
I sent myself some emails and used the "find my device" in order to cause some notifications, as you can see on the video, nothing comes through until I connect to wifi.

Have you tried a different provider, a friends sim card? It may be incompatible with the P5. There was a problem in USA with Mintmobile and the P5 but Google fixed it. Which service provider do you use?
