Hi for those who have played with the Zenwatch 2, have you experienced any bluetooth disconnect issues?
I am about to buy one for my wife but heard there had been some bluetooth disconnect issues in the past with the orginal Zenwatch, so just want to make sure.
Thanks!
Andrew
I've noticed it does seem to disconnect a lot and even close to watch but usually connects back by itself
I have fun into this problem, but it doesn't happen very often. I assume it's a coding problem add Erik Gerry psyched with a firmware update when Marshmallow launches
Yes... regularly... multiple times a day. Phone is always in my shirt pocket, pants pocket or hand, so it's not a distance issue. Wish i could find a way to turn off the vibration every time it disconnects/reconnects
I don't seem to have this issue that I have noticed. Have had it for a bit now with no issues.

I wonder if its the phone is connected to? The review I saw that mentioned it was using a Note 5 and I'm using an S6a

I am using a zenfone 2 with my zenwatch. Only time I have noticed it disconnected is when I'm out of range of my phone which is normal. Otherwise everything seems consistent even compared to my Moto 360.

I had a few disconnects beeing next to the phone. But only 3-4 times.
But I had a few reconnect issues after out-of-range disconnects. The watch didn't reconnect properly and I had to fiddle around, reboot, disable BT,...
I just need to use android wear on the phone to retry but it is still odd I suspect it is related to the OS on my phone for saving battery life?

I am using s6 edge+ and it seems to have more bluetooth disconnect issue with my other device after a recent OTA
I reset the watch rebooted the phone then the watch and removed the zen watch manager/zen camera and some unused watch face seems better now
Once we get on this watch. A lot of things can get fixed from us dev's. Just waiting on the source code.

Weird. I have the LG G4 and had the LG G Watch for about 6 months prior to getting the AZW2 and I've never noticed it ever disconnect throughout the day. The only time is when I walk out of range, but it reconnects again when I am in the general area
I just got the disconnect issue today. If I restart the watch it'll reconnect, but only for a few minutes then it disconnects. Rinse and repeat. I'd do a factory reset if I weren't at work and far away from my charging cable.
I bought the Zenwatch 2 a week ago. I'm using it with my S6. Software on both is up to date however the watch continues to get disconnected. Last night I did a factory reset on the watch and after a few minutes it disconnected again. WiFi isn't turned on either (which I read might cause interference with the radio or frequencies). I don't think there's any other option left but to return this and try another Zenwatch 2 (hoping it is an isolated issue).
I had a few disconnects, but only when it was out of range. The thing is, I let the phone somewhere in the house and I just wander around. The range on this thing is amazing! But when I get back in range it just reconnects automatically, just as it should. I must say, I am really impressed with the little one :d
Note3 5.0 stock rooted+latest update ZW2
Just curious if this is the way the device works with my phone, the Android Wear app always says "connected", however, whenever I go to the bluetooth settings on the watch, it's always disconnected...........no matter how many times I hit it to connect, it never does................but I always get notifications as usual, and it will vibrate for every call I receive on my phone.
Wifi is still connected. Never used bluetooth since i last setup my watch. Just using my phone as WiFi access point.

Hi guys... I recently inherited my Atrix 4G... loving it so far but I am really struggling with the bluetooth in this thing. My last 2-3 phones have instantly connected with my Honda Civic but the Atrix seems to take 30-60 seconds. Kind of annoying. I know it's being nit-picky but I was just curious if anyone knows of a way to perhaps speed up the bluetooth connection time or maybe the polling interval?
I'm currently running Jellybean but have also tried the stock GB rom and other custom GB roms. All seem to take a while to connect or warrant reboot before my car can see it.
Thanks!
Interesting. When I had my Atrix it hooked up to my car instantly. I recently switched to a Galaxy S III, and it takes around 45 seconds to connect. I had just assumed it was a difference with Android 4. But if you're seeing it even with Gingerbread, perhaps there's something else going on. Can anyone shed some light on what might cause a delay in connecting via bluetooth?

Mine does not pair with my Citroen C4. My wife owns a Samsung phone that pairs automatically. Could anyone help?

It does seem to be faster/more stable with Gingerbread.... probably because there is no official 4.xx build for the Atrix yet so it's just using "borrowed" drivers (just a guess.) I'm crossing my fingers that once the official ICS build drops from Motorola that these ICS/JB ROMs will get some proper drivers!
I may just go back to GB for now; wonky bluetooth is kind of a dealbreaker for me.
Any suggestions on the "best of the best" GB ROMs? Might give Nutrino a shot.
In both our vehicles (wife's Explorer, my F-150), we get random behavior. She has a stock HTC. I have the Atrix (CM7). When her phone is far, far away (e.g. she's at work), mine will connect everytime - but sometimes it connects in 10 seconds, sometimes I'm a mile down the road before it connections. It's very random.
If she's in the truck with me, about 90% of the time, it connects to mine (mine is defined as the 'primary' phone), but that other 10% of the time, it'll connect to her's.
I can't speak as to how long her's takes to connect when she's alone in her car, but when we're both in there, her's connects the vast majority of the time (95%+), but occasionally, mine will connect first.
I've juts chalked it up to BT weirdness. And I still wish CM7 would get decent bluetooth that would permit SMS over BT. Guess I'll keep dreaming for months to come.
I plugged my phone in the car charger earlier and noted I had 49% battery left. I drove an hour and when I took the phone off the charger it was turned off. I'm not rooted or anything. This is my first Android phone. Would Android be considered less stable than ios?(which is what I've used for years)

That same problems happens to me when i unplug it or even just wake it up from sleep. It doesnt do it too often like it did when i first got it but im sure it will be fixed with a software update. All you gotta do is restart the phone hold down the power and down button ( on the volume rocker)
Just happened again. Plugged in car charger and it powered down. WTF is this?

I used to have a samsung captivate that did the same thing, generally it is a thing you just have to deal with! It sucks, I know but sorry!

I turned it back on, kept driving, and then it turned off again. This is ridiculous. It never did this before.

I think the problem may be with the app HD Widgets. I installed it last night and the problem started today. According to one review I read, it was causing some guy to have random reboots. The developer responded that it is a bug in Android OS, BUT they released a fix in today's update anyway. Hopefully it is fixed now.

I've had it happen twice to me. I got the feeling it was a software conflict type issue.

I think it is hd widget too. I had that on my nexus 7 and it randomly shut off. I deleted it and it hasn't happened again.

I won't pretend to know what the actual problem is but I'm assuming it's software related, but this thing does strange things when connected to a car charger.
Same thing happened to me twice while it was sitting in my pocket.
Pulled it out and it was off. It would not turn back on unless I held the down volume button and power button. My phone is completely stock and I do not have HD widgets.
Twice for me. I'm rooted and unlocked.

I'm on The Base .7.1 and i've had my phone reboot on it's own a few times (on .5 and .7 it did this as well). it doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing...i can be taking a phone call or answering a text, it can be sitting in my pocket or playing chess.
the only thing that is constant is that AFTER the reboot, some application or other has updated itself via Google Play. perhaps there is some conflict occurring when application updates are presented to the Google Play app? could just be coincidence, but it has self-rebooted many times now and every time it comes back up there is a newly applied update to some installed application.
Had a Samsung Captivate that did that, called "sleep death" and was frequent. ATT swapped it out saying there was a bad batch and it never happened again.
My LGOG did it once the other night; well it did a full reboot by itself. If it becomes an issue I'll take it up w/ ATT again.
Had it happen twice in the past 2 days just in my pocket. Starting to get a bit frustrated with this phone.
Had this happen to me at least twice. Funny thing is the phone died in the same general geographic area each time.
Both times I had over 65 or 75% battery left and I was driving a few hundred miles across areas with bad cell reception. on the way back from my trip I actually chanced to look at the phone because I half expected it to be off due to having experienced the unintended power down before. Phone was NOT plugged into a charger. In the past, driving through these areas would put certain phones into power saving mode where cell function shuts down or phone. I think it's related to driving without reception or just no reception.
Normally I can leave this phone sitting and it stays on and wakes up without a fight.
Called AT&T, they are trying to run me through the whole hard reset/phone swap process.
Wanting something a bit stronger, I got LG's number. They said I was the first person to report the issue.
Both companies suggested turning the device off and charging to 100%, although they were both general suggestions (still, I hadn't tried that). The LG tech actually suggested that I take the battery out and... Well I didn't let that go any further.
LG said I could send my device to them instead of AT&T, if I wanted. They don't presend phones so you'll be SOL for "5-7 days" but I feel better that they would actually look at it instead of just throwing it in a "refurb" pile when the screen turns on.
Anyway, call them! Press 1 for English, 1 for Mobiles, I got an answer in 3 seconds. At least help put this on their radar. 800-793-8896.
of those of us who are experiencing random reboots...
are you rooted/unlocked?
are you on the Stock ROM or on The Base?
if The Base, which version? .5 or .73
i am rooted/unlocked running .73

Stock.
My Droid DNA has Qi wireless charging issues. It sometimes works fine. Other times it connects and then loses the connection after a minute or 2 and never reconnects unless I pick it up and put it back on the charger.
I wasn't sure if it's my phone or if it's a rom issue because it used to work fine, but I've switched roms a few times since then. I'm kind of leaning towards a rom issue because I just flashed a new rom and now notice that for the first time ever after it loses the connection it may not reconnect after picking it up and putting it back down. Only a reboot will allow it to reconnect.
I have 2 Qi chargers (the Nokia's, which get great reviews) and it happens on both and it started happening on both right at the same time, so I know it's not the charger.
Does this happen to you as well? Do you have a fix?
Thanks!

What ROM are you running. I run stock I got tired of custom Roms. I just ordered the Nokia dt-900 from at&t for 25$ online I guess we will see how it goes when it gets here. Maybe try running stock or another ROM and see how it goes the ROM your currently on might not fully support it.

I have the Nokia as well. Only issue I have is it heats up the battery to where it'll stop charging.. usually while streaming to a media device tho. Generally a little warm after a charge when compared to usb.

Is anyone else having issues with Bluetooth and/or Android Wear? I got my P9000 a few days ago and the Sony Smartwatch 3 is frequently disconnecting. The Android Wear app just says trying to connect. The only way I can reestablish the connection is to reboot the phone. Neither turning Bluetooth off and back on not rebooting the watch help. The watch was rock solid with my Oneplus Two.
I have my P9000 connected to a Huawei watch... usually works great but in the area where Android wear lacks - reconnecting - the P9000 is even worse than my Nexus 5. After going out of range it often struggles to reinitiate connection.

Thanks. Unfortunately my issue isn't limited to going out of range, although that's usually the worst. Last night the phone and watch disconnected, whilst sat on my lapin the cinema, and refused to reconnect until the phone was rebooted.
Yes I've had the same problem. Also can't connect to my Bluetooth OBD reader in my car, it sees it, but refuses to connect

If you go out of range, does it reconnect? Mine is fine as long as I don't get disconnected, but if I do, then a reboot of the phone is the only way

Yep, reconnects fine - mine disconnects every time I leave my room to go to the kitchen because of thick walls in my flat then reconnects just fine once I'm back in my room.
Right, a removal and reinstall of the Android Wear app has stopped the random disconnects. However, if I go out of range it doesn't reconnect. If I terminate the Android Wear app and restart it, however, the connection reestablished. Bluetooth to other devices is fine. It remains connected to my car streaming Spotify for hours without problem.
It seems I spoke too soon. The phone disconnected today despite being within 2' of my watch and terminating and restarting the Android Wear app didn't help. The only way to reestablish connection was to reboot the phone.
Mine lost connection today because I left the phone at home, when I got back it refuses to reconnect, even after a reboot.
I've force closed the app and nothing.
My Sony Z5 has been repaired, so I'm using that again now, but I still really like the P9000, so I'll keep an eye on development

Listening to my phone via Bluetooth is more and more irritating. I'm not an audiophile by any stretch but the crackles, cuts and stops are increasingly terrible. I stream everything, Google music, amazon, audible, it's like my phone can't buffer fast enough to transmit to my car stereo or my headphones. Any suggestions? I am not rooted. I am running tmobiles stock everything.

How long have you had the phone? Perhaps try an exchange? I haven't noticed that problem at all, I stream Google Music, TuneIn, etc. The main bluetooth issue I remember with this phone early on was people not being able to connect to their car stereo. I hope you get it fixed somehow. Are you streaming with a good strong data signal?
Thanks for the reply. Yah. LTE and 5 bars. Its really been since the M update. Gonna just try a factory reset and see what happens. Otherwise I guess there are 2 options after that. Exchange or Root.

This has been an ongoing problem with this phone. I've had a second replacement phone with the same issues. Usually rebooting solves it, but it'll progressively gets worse and worse until you have to reboot again.
I am thoroughly disappointed with this glaring issue, never had such headache with any of the phones I've used before.
