Not that it was ever strong, but my vibration completely stopped working today. It locked up for a minute or so when I swiped away a notification, then came up with a message that Android Wear had to be closed. Since then, no vibration. Not when I pull down from the top to mute or turn it on, never.
So far I have:
unpair/repair
restarted
Restore to factory settings
cleared data from the Wear app
deleted all wear apps
uninstalled and resinstalled wear app
I'm out of ideas. I'm thinking that something is physically broken. Any ideas?

You can try to reflash the stock image, but that sound like a hardware problem to me :/

Like I said, it doesn't even vibrate when turning mute on and off, so no, it's not on mute. Looks like a hardware issue.

So "Restore to factory settings" was performed on the watch. I guess I see.
I had this happen to me today at work. I would receive texts and the watch wasn't vibrating. As soon as I restarted the watch everything was working fine again.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Same problem here, since this morning :'(
did you find something to do ?
Nope, it did start working again after a few days and it continues to go off and on for a day or more at a time. I need to call and get an rma.
the same problem, after using 1 day, the vibration doesn't work anymore and I can't find any solutions.
It seems that this isn't a hardware problem
Same problem
My watch is also no longer vibrating on notifications. Let me know if there is a solution to this.

It literally just started working again o to its own? I'm having this same issue on two different watches. Thought it was my Moto 360 since I just got it but it appears to be happening on my LG G Watch that I've had since launch with no issue also. No clue how or why this started but kinda defeats a major purpose of the having the watch...
Positive Vibrations
Yup. One day it magically started again and stayed working.

Are there any apps out there that are known to make the photon unresponsive? Mine is rooted, locked and stock. My phone will just lock up for 30 seconds or more. When trying to start an app nothing will happen for long periods until they finally starting. Also when typing in the browser, often the browser will just shut down while I am typing. Any ideas appreciated

you might try a battery pull, or a factory reset. has this started after you installed anything new? try a factory reset but dont install any programs and let it sync and run for a day or so to see if the problem persists. if it does, try unrooting back to 100% stock and see if the issue is still there.

I have a similar experience. From time to time, when I type, the letters appear in the keyboard app but not actually in the field in which I'd like to to type. And when this is happening, I am also not able to call ANYONE! I must reboot and sometimes do a battery pull to get things back in order. NOT COOL! What if I am in trouble and need to make a quick phone call? It might be too late by the time I pull out the battery and restart.
Actually the entire app (browser) closes while typing.
I removed a few suspect apps and it seems to have calmed down.......
Will see how it goes. I hate to have to nuke the whole phone and start over

My phone randomly rebooted 7 times today and I don't even own a car dock! I cannot find the source of the problem(s). Btw, this is my 2nd phone for the same reasons. I haven't even put all of my apps back on it yet. I may do another reset to see what happens.
Hi,
On my Razr I every now and then get a message that background data has been deactivated when I'm starting Google play, however I never disable it. I go inte options (as the message tells me to) and I see that background data has been disabled, I activate it but after it while it deactiviates itself. Very irritating.
That's interesting. Are you on ICS?

Smart Actions
i think the other users are 100% correct. i had the same problem and it was indeed smart actions. at first i thought it was a great app, but ultimately stopped using it. the battery life on the device is so good that i can have on the wifi / gps / 3g / bluetooth and the battery still lasts until bedtime.
i was suprised that smart actions would let you disable background data...
I updated on Thursday and have been having some issues since then. The first thing I noticed was the signal strength bars are weaker, where I would normally have 4-5 bars I now have 1-2 still on LTE though.
The next thing that happened was Friday night, there was no service and the phone said there was no SIM card. I power cycled the phone and then it came back up without the error. This happened again tonight, Saturday.
My other issue/question is how do I turn off the phone? Before when I would hold down the power button it would have a dialog that let me put it in airplane mode, restart or power off. Now when I hold it down the 3 buttons blink and it tells me to keep holding down to restart and that's it.

After you pop the SIM card, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, and go into advanced and fix permissions. Reboot and profit. This SIM error is a permissions thing getting screwed up.

Google Now opens browser instead of application
After the update, Google Now / voice search opens up a browser instead of the application needed.
For instance, if I ask for directions to a place, the phone opens Chrome with directions. The directions are no where near where I am. If I try to dial someone via voice, the Google Now card pops up with the person's contact followed immediately by Chrome.
I'm not sure if anyone has a fix for this, but it's certainly annoying and drastically reduces the capabilities of this phone for me.
Thanks all,

I got the update today and google now works same as it did before for me. Ask for directions, it goes to maps and show me directions and try to voice dial someone and their card pops up followed by call initiation. I just use the stock browser though, not chrome. Maybe it is chrome.
Also noticed there is a new location service option now, after update, for google search in addition to the previous options for verizon, google and gps. Will be interesting to see how this changes search accuracy, if at all.

I ended up uninstalling and reinstalling Google Search, it now works properly.
Regarding the turn off, it sounds like you're trying to turn it off from the lock screen. Swipe in and then try.
Otherwise I haven't had any issues with the OTA and it actually helped a lot with the volume (lowest volume was still really loud before) and I seem to be getting better WiFi signal.
Whenever I now try and switch bluetooth on it instantly snaps the button back to the off position, I have tried turning it on in loads of different ways and it just won't come back on...
It was working fine till yesterday, I installed Swapp Link app and let it manage the BT connection and now it won't switch on... I have remove / reinstalled the app and restarted phone etc, nothing has fixed it.. any ideas? ;(

Bluetooth also suddenly stopped working for me. And it is not possible to turn it on. To make things more interesting - I didn't install anything on my omate since I upgraded to TEST_RELEASE_Omate_2100_TrueSmart_20140314.zip on the day when my omate 8GB/1GB 2100 arrived more than a month ago. It worked fine all this time, and without any visible cause it just stopped today.
I wanted to tether to ipad to provide internet connection, while riding in a bus, and suddenly snap - bluetooth turned itself off. I tried restarting omate. I couldn't figure anything to get it back to work.
it happened exactly 6 hours ago. About the time when you made your post.

how to do a hard reset of omate, without voiding the warranty? Do I need to wait until battery runs out?
No, just turn off quickboot and power the watch down. When you turn it back on Bluetooth will probably reinitialize and work again. For a while.

Quickboot didn't knock it out. The defective TrueSmart MTK firmware and hardware combination cause all sorts of problems with using Bluetooth, including some that require a full power cycle reset. That is not possible with Quickboot enabled unless the battery runs down or is removed.

Glad to see your BT and TS are working fine now...
All el devices could be "fixed" by restarting it.
They are all using RAM and/or dalvik cache and that has to cleared sometimes...
Dalvik cache is a "place" where Android decompile apk files for quicker access, so when you wip dalvik cache from recovery you are clearing everything so system has to decompile apk files again and RAM is cleared also...
It's like fresh start and it "fix" many software issues that way...
If you have ADB tools and rooted device, you can use adb reboot from adb shell, no need to open your watch, lose warranty and pull battery out...

It is my understanding that the Zen2 using only a wifi connection can send texts, do "OK Google", and perform other data related functions even if not connected to a phone (i.e. if phone has both bluetooth and wifi off, or is not in proximity to the watch nor on the same wifi network). Is that the case? Does the phone need to at least be connected to cellular data, or can the watch still communicate over wifi even if the phone has no data connection (or is completely off)?
Regarding the speaker: I know that the Zen2 can play music stored on the phone. But, is there any way (or app) to stream music (or video such as youtube) on the watches speaker without being connected to the phone (watch is only connected to a wifi network)?
Lastly, what about phone calls? Is there any way for the watch to receive/make a phone call "independently" of the phone if the watch is only connected to wifi? If not, what about receiving or making a "data only" call (such as using Hangouts)?
TIA!
1. Watch must be connected to phone.

You can play YouTube videos (there is an app in the store). But I can't remember if it works on Bluetooth only. The downside is it seems to buffer the whole video before it starts, which took a while with my slow connection.

I still get notifications via wifi if my phone isnt in bluetooth range.
ok google seems to work half the time for me, but only on 2.4ghz networks. They have to be public (w/o a portal that makes you accept terms of use) or ones youve used on your phone (the watch gets the wifi password from your phone)

Okay I have both cloudsync enabled (on phone's Wear app) and wifi set to automatic but still nothing. No email notifications and I have the crossed-out cloud icon on my phone. Perhaps the wear server is not working for me?
Did you just enable those settings now? If so, it probably takes some time to transmit the new info and WiFi password via slow Bluetooth. Leave you watch connected via Bluetooth and try again later.
I haven't tried to observe and test myself, but I would imagine there is some lag with getting the notifications since the watch connects and disconnects from WiFi periodically to save battery, as opposed to staying on WiFi constantly

I really would like to see an accurate list of what the Zenwatch 2
is capable of doing if I were to disable bluetooth on my phone &
only use the wifi feature in the phone and the watch.
I know I will not be able to make or receive phone calls if I do that.
But what about all the other functions of the watch?
Will wifi stay enabled in the watch if the bluetooth on my phone is disabled?
-----
Also I still have not found a way to sync/pair my watch to my phone without having to "unpair" after flashing
or restoring a different rom in my phone and setting up all the wear apps, android wear app and all the other
apps and settings which needs to be setup in the phone. (even after I reboot the watch and the phone)
The only solution I found was to "unpair" (factory reset the watch)
and after doing that the phone pairs just fine with anderoid wear
and starts the very long syncing process.
There must be some way of pairing and syncing the watch to the
phone without having to "unpair" it and start from scratch.
Thanks!

The ADB commands don't work at all, and after much reading in that thread you
posted I finally found out why it's not working for me.
I have upgraded my zenwatch 2 to Marshmallow 6.0 a few weeks ago and I got another
small ota update a few days ago which upgraded the OS version from v1.4 to v1.5 ...
So I am back at square one.
I am not interested in using more than one phone (S7 Edge) with my watch.
The only thing I need is a way to pair and sync my watch without needing to do a
"unpair-device" each time I use twrp to restore a different nandroid backup of my
phone's custom rom or simply restore the same custom rom both of which has
already been fully paired and synced with the watch.

Once you need to setup your watch with a new phone or ROM, open the reset wear client on your watch. Click the "reset gms" button (root required). This will reboot your watch. Now your watch is ready to be paired to a new ROM or device without a factory reset or re-syncing of apps. Open the reset wear client app on your watch and click make BT discoverable. Then click yes. Now you can open android wear app on your phone and click on your watch. It will say pairing complete and updating. At this point you will reboot both your phone and watch. Then they should both connect fine and function without having to reset or re-sync your watch apps
