Ever since Android Wear 2.0 updated on my phone, I not longer get notifications on my Moto 360 2nd gen. I've done half a dozen factory resets, uninstalled apps from my phone, everything I can think of but nothing is getting them back. Anyone have any other ideas or have this problem?
I love this watch and am going to be sad when/if I have to give it up. Thankfully I have a warranty on it so I won't lose the money but still

My Photon has been acting up today. It has frozen on a black screen four or five times, requiring a battery pull each time. Also a couple of random restarts. The same thing happened once yesterday, but it has come back with a vengeance today.
Anyone else experiencing this? Bad phone? Not rooted, updated prl/profile, etc. Been on the road, so no chance to try the MR, so I don't know if that would solve anything or not.
I'm a Sprint Launch Ambassador supporting the Photon. I have seen reboots on my own device but it was due to a 3rd party live wallpaper I had downloaded and was running. When I removed it, the device was stable again. Does your device do this in a factory reset state with nothing installed 3rd party app wise and no SD card?
never had that type of issue with mine

Matt - thanks for your quick response.
I am not running third party or live wallpapers. Just a pretty static experience.
I have installed quite a few apps, of course, but I haven't had the time, at the moment, to do a factory reset (and frankly, doing a factory reset is a pain, and I'd rather not have to do it). My installed program list is also pretty standard (Google apps, Facebook, Pandora, Angry Birds).
I do, however, have a SD card mounted, which I actually considered might be the problem. Is there any clue about why this might be causing the problem?
Interestingly, it hasn't happened in the past few hours.
Are there any reports of specific applications that are causing issues, or reports that this is a widespread problem? I could forgive it a bit more if it restarted more than hard crashed, but the lockups with no warning on my primary business phone are rather problematic.
Also, any word you might be able to give on updates that might come out in the next week or two?
My main concern is just that I don't have a bad piece of hardware. I love the phone - as something to make phone calls, it's one of the best pieces of hardware I've ever had. If it's an issue where I need to switch the phone out for a different one, I'm fine with doing that, but I'd like to know before the warranty runs out.
Me too
I just want to chime in and report that I have seen some random black screen lockups on my new Photon. It usually requires battery removal to fix, but once while I was trying to pry the back cover off (it's a very stubborn cover), the phone came back to life.
No SD card, stock wallpaper.

Locked up after five minutes off the charger this morning. For what it's worth, the phone seems to get very warm when it is locked, possibly indicating a high power/processor usage.
I don't know if others have experienced this as well.
Random lock twice today when I went to answer the phone..and one time at 6 AM it was my 84 year old mother who had fallen.
I saw the #, grabbed my wife's EPIC and called my mom.
This is not a good thing on a 2 day old phone.
Apply the leaked Maintenance Release. There's a thread in the Dev sub-forum.

Do you know if this actually solves the lockup issues?
So this is quite irritating at the moment. Me and my mom both have a Sony Tablet S (SGPT111US/S). Now both mine and my mothers are causing difficulties right now, and both have very different problems. So I'll start off with my moms tablet since it may just need to be waited out for the problem to go away.
Mom's Tablet:
This was just a couple days ago, My mom says her tablet froze at 10:03 (like it really matters what the time it froze at is) on the cradle. She had to press the reset button to turn it off, however the unit will not Turn on or even go to the Android Recovery Menu to preform a factory reset. As of right now it is connected by the plug rather than being on the cradle. I'm hoping that this issue can fix itself since others have had this experience before and got theirs working just by letting it sit a couple days on the charger, however if you have any ideas on getting it working sooner that would greatly be appreciated.
My Tablet:
I honestly don't know what has happened. Until a couple days ago I turned on my tablet and after it boot up problems emerged out of random the second the lock screen appears every single app crashes, not once but continuously. Even the home screen will crash and continuously reload itself, so getting to any app won't be possible and even at that when i do get to an app it's already crashed and i'm back at the home screen. To help make matters worse, the tablet won't remove Apps permanently, i can uninstall them (oddly enough while every app crashes without them even starting the settings doesn't crash.) however if i reboot the tablet everything returns like nothing ever left. I have even went to the Android Recovery Menu to try to factory reset the device, but the factory resets doesn't even reset even though the ARM says it did. So i'm stuck with this crashing loop and a Non-Factory Resetable tablet. I have tried to see if maybe rooting the tablet could help, but not even the Tablet will load itself completely when connected to my Computer so rooting is out of the question as well. Also the Bluetooth and Wifi won't turn off as well.
In the end,
Both Tablets have the current update (4.0.3 RA5) and both are Not Rooted. They are out of warranty so last thing i want to do is call Sony to repair my tablets for a fee. I would also like to note my tablet has been sent in once for repairs because it was stuck looping the boot screen, so my tablet has had trouble in the past, but since then until now i have never had any problems. I will admit, i do sometimes install cracked apps, the app i installed just a day before all this happened was Minecraft 0.7.2.......I have installed it on my EVO and Walkman Z and no problems have occurred and they still have the game.
Please any help for these tablets will be Greatly appreciated. Please Will you help Me?

How's your mum's tablet doing right now? If the issue still persists after what you've tried, I'm thinking maybe just let it run out of battery, charge it back up and see what happens. Also, have you tried using the pccompanion software to redownload and reinstall a fresh firmware back onto your tab? It's a more 'thorough' reset method as opposed to a factory reset through the tab settings.
Hi guys,
I recently bought my Moto 360 2nd gen. After 4 weeks, it started to fail pushing messages through. In the beginning, unreliable, now, nothing except for. My step count....
I restart my watch everyday, disconnect and connect with my phone, factory restarted it several times. Only for 15 min, it tends to work, than, the same described above.
Now, I found out, when I wake up my phone it push messages through, and music toggles are working. Messages which are received by my phone before I picked it up will not be pushed through though.
Does anyone can help me with this issue, before I go to ask my money back from Motorola, because I start to get frustrated!
I bought it to leave my phone in my pocket, now, I have it in my hands even more:crying:

I changed it, I'll let you know if it worked!
Do you have other possible solutions?
Thanks. Very much!!
Hey rocketSauce83, I've been using it for a couple of days now. I can confidently say that it is up and running how it supposed to be! Super smooth! Thanks a lot for your help and a happy new year!

hey.. i have the same problem with my moto 360 2015. i dont have any idea what you mean by delete. i have tried everything except phone reset. i tried pairing my watch with my old tablet and everything is working fine. i think it started after the latest security patch on my phone. BTW my phone is note 4 still on lollipop(no marshmallow yet) and not rooted. i need help solving, thanks in advance
update:
I have just found the cause of the problem. It was the new app optimization feature that samsung installed on my device after the latest update. i just disabled the optimization on my AW app.
Ever since the Marshmallow update I need to factory reset my watch everytime it disconnects from my phone.
I get the touch to reconnect card on the watch, launch the app on the iPhone, press it and then it says Reconnecting... and after a few seconds it says Touch to reconnect once again - essentialy nothing happens.
I have been using Android Wear with my iPhone ever since the app came out in August, and this used to work perfectly with my G Watch R and then Moto 360 2nd Gen, up until the Marshmallow update a few days ago. Sadly, this makes this otherwise perfect update, which has made the watch so much better, useless to me.
If I do factory reset the watch it pairs without an issue and works again for a day or two until I wander away from the phone. Do you guys use your watches with an iPhone and if you do, do you experience such problems as I do?
I'm having the same problem after update I'm having connection problems

Me Too!
This just started happening to me yesterday! I performed a factory wipe on my iPhone, and after going through the Android Wear setup successfully, I was connected normally. I turn off my watch at the end of each day, and the next morning I was unable to reconnect the two devices. That annoying "Tap to reconnect" card was displaying, and I couldn't get rid of it. Usually when this happens, I'm able to either turn off Bluetooth and switch it back on, or just completely restart the phone, and then the watch and phone are able to reconnect.
This is very frustrating, and I can't find a helpful thread anywhere! If anyone has found a fix, please let me know!

Moto 360 2nd gen running Android OS 6.0.1
Thanks in advance!

I have in fact found a solution for my problem about a week ago. I've spent the last few months using Aerlink and that was a miserable experience.
The solution as it turns out is even posted on Motorla's web site but I only found it there after I knew what I was searching for. Talking to their support earlier never helped and they never offered this particular solution.
All I had to do was, after a factory reset of the watch, go to the Bluetooth settings of the iPhone and just press "Forget this device" for my watch. Only then can you pair it again using the Android Wear app and have no connection problems later.
What had happened was that I had a working watch on Lollipop as it was the first time I had ever paired it to my iPhone. I then proceeded to unpair and pair it with my Android phone so I can get the Marshmallow update faster, which I did. Resetting the updated watch and trying to pair it again with the iPhone via the Wear app and without forgetting it from the settings app is what triggered my problems. I hope this was helpful to anyone who has this problem

WOW! So simple, why didn't I think of that? Thank you for the quick response as well!
Hi everyone,
Loving my lg g5. Issue is ive only owned it a few days and it just went absolutely crazy after i was setting up some apps. Went into a sort of bootloop. It kept rebooting, then id have 30 sec to 1 min of using it, itd freeze, then reset again, all the while being very warm. It was so weird, happened about 10 times before i factory reset. And so far so good.
But should i be worried? Im still within my 14 days from o2 so could get a replacement. Or do i look at it as a one off? Anyone else had this?
Many thanks.
There hasn't been any reports about bootloop for the G5, I wouldn't worry that much since after factory reset is working because that indicates that it might be a software problem that got fixed with the reset.
If you want to play it safe you can return it and get a new unit, if they accept it since they will see that the phone now is working just fine.
As far as I have seen there are couple of bootloop issues. Hard decision. I'd still take it and if it happens again immediately send it in for repair and I wouldn't bother trying to fix it by myself
