I can't pair with Galaxy watch 46mm - Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers

HI,
I have buy my Xiaomi mi A3 last week and with suprise I can't pair the galaxy watch 46mm!
Anyone has the same problem?
Wear OS is ok
Amazfit Pace is ok
anything bluetooth device are ok except the galaxy watch
Thank you

I think I had to go into settings > reset wifi, mobile & bluetooth

Thank you for reply,
unfortunately doesn't work. I try anything:
- reset smartphone
- reset galaxy watch
- disable any battery optimization...
nothing to do...
Regards,

I had a similar issue with my Garmin bluetooth smart watch, it turned out nothing was wrong with the watch or the phone, it's how Android now pairs with external smart devices... Basically set the watch into pairing mode and then add it as a device in your phone's bluetooth search just like you would add a pair of bluetooth headphones, typing in the code and allowing it access to all the usual permissions it asks for such as call log etc. Then add the Google Wear app and any Samsung watch apps you want and login and the watch will be there paired already.

Hi,
Yes i have solve my problem. After restore the network connection I was able to pair my galaxy watch, I have try many network reset before pair it.
Now work right.
Also i have enabled the develper menu and set the AVRCP version to 1.6 but i don't think that this has fix the pair issue.

Thanks all. I followed advice to pair Bluetooth first, then add the wearable app, galaxy watch app, Samsung accessory service. I then tried to pair unsuccessfully through the wearable app. At this point it kept saying that while it was pairing you could check out the features (which I had been ignoring because the watch kept failing to connect). I decided to very quickly click through the next, next, next screens and to my surprise there was a bunch of new permissions that popped up to grant. Another failed connection, a couple more permissions and then.... Success...
I added the Samsung Health app and connected to a Samsung account. All is working as far as I can tell.

Workaround S3 auto bluetooth pair problem

I have figured out a work-around for the auto pairing failure. I will give a step by step workaround how I did it. In my situation, I have a Mazda CX-5 and a Samsung Galaxy S3. But I am confident, that it will work with all Android 4.0.4 versions and other carkits, because the problem is most likely the same issue.
The reason why the phone won't auto pair, is because the phone does not give your carkit permission to download call history and other data. Even if you granted the phone this permission with the initial pairing.
If you have a carkit that supports multiple bluetooth profiles (multiple phones), like my Mazda CX-5 does, then you can also have your phonebook downloaded to your car. If your carkit supports multiple profiles, start with step 1. If yours doesn't, start with step 7. This guide is specifically for the Mazda CX-5, so some steps may be (slightly) different for your car model or make.
Here is the step by step guide:
1. Make sure you have no existing bluetooth pairs. Clear all pairs in your carkit and your phone.
2. Pair the phone with your carkit. You can see the randomly generated code on your phone and on the car display. Press ok to pair. (other carkits may need you to input "0000" or "1234", or maybe you have to input a code yourself)
3. Your phone will ask 2 questions about permissions. Check the box and allow. The phone will start to sync.
4. You carkit is done with syncing and it will ask you if you want to download your phonebook. Do this.
5. When its done copying, clear the Bluetooth pair on your phone (not on the Carkit!)
6. Give your phone a different Bluetooth name
7. In your carkit choose to pair a new phone (with the new name you just entered).
8. When the phone asks for permission for the carkit, check the box and choose cancel. Do this for both questions.
You don't have to copy your phonebook again (you can't anyway because you denied permission), but the phonebook that was downloaded earlier will still be available. Now the phone will pair automatically! With this trick you have your phonebook and automatic pairing.
I haven't seen what this does for media-audio streaming. I don't use that, but I can image that it doesn't work, because of the denied permissions.
There is another downside to this though (there always is, isn't it?). You cannot update your phonebook easily. If you want to update your phonebook, repeat the whole procedure.
I hope this will work for other people with different phones and cars too. At least this is a workaround until Google/Samsung comes with a fix. Please let us know if this works in your situation. To keep things structured, please use this format:
Car: Mazda CX-5
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Works: Yes
That's OK !!
Car : Renault Scénic
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3
Works : Yes, fine !! (with the MP3 reader too !...)
Good stuff!
Car: Vauxhall Vivaro van
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Works: Yes, but can't get access to the phonebook as bluetooth keeps dropping out before it downloads. I don't really mind that though. At least I can now use my phone!
Man thanks for this fix!

This does not work for my 2010 Altima, but glad to hear someone is able to fix their problem. Maybe I should go buy a Mazda :good:
POSSIBLE SOLOUTION
Guys, this problem was driving me nuts, just like many it worked the FIRST time it synced with my car but after that no go ! i randomly was trying stuff until something odd happened, i installed this program : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.medieval.blueftp&hl=en and tried connecting to my car within the program, from now on, as long as that program is running, EVERYTHING is working, i can even get to my Text Messages from my car , all good !!! hope this helps you guys.

I have many problems with paring the S3 to different devices (headset, carkit, modem) Even connecting the S3 to my Galaxy Tab 7.7 reuslts in the S3 not being able to sent photo's to the Galaxy Tab 7.7 only when I fist sent a foto from the tablet to the S3 I can then sent form S3 to tablet. Also Wifidirect does not work. The software of my S3 is:
Android: 4.0.4
Baseband: i9300xxlfb
Kernel: 3.0.15-782020-user
Buildnummer: I9300XXBLFB
Any discussion with Samsung support and product managers did not resolve in a solution, they continously point the issue to the carkit, headset, modem supplier. Even the problem with connecting to the Samsung tablet is waved as "Differnt software, different hardware no guarantee that is compatible".
Solution
So I have reset the S3 back to factory settings which removes all apps not installed by me and all personal settings. Then I did following:
I installed, on the Samsung Galaxy S3 the first version of Samsung factory ROM (Build I9300XXALE8 for region Europe which is also 4.0.4 but the earlier version) using procedures and software(odin) to install custom roms. This does not void the warranty as the unit is not being rooted but only downgraded to an earlier official Samsung softeware
Then reset the S3 again to factory default settings.
Started the pairing with the Bluetooth device. They all started to pair and work correctly.
Removed all pairing profiles again form the phone and tried to pair again.. it kept doing the right thing.
Turned off the phone, turned on again and autopair with the carkit worked flawless. (my carkit is a Pioneer HD1BT). Same with headset and modem.
Install Samsung automatic software updates which upgrades the device ROM to newest version Build I9300XXBLFB. Manual disconnect and reconnect kept working
If one removes any BT connection profile on the phone after the software update, the BT connection/pairing problems with that device will come back and you need to do the whole procedure again
Bottomline conclusion: The latest Samsung updates has broken the ability to create a pairing profile with some bluetooth 2.0 devices.However, once the phone has Bluetooth connection profile for that the device, it keeps working.
The blame of Samsung towards carkit mfg's is incorrect. . It also has nothing to do with Bluetooth 4.0 compatibillity with 2.0 devices. (iPhone 4S, HTC One X are bluetooth 4.0 and the HTC One x is also Android 4.0.4). It is a pure Samsung sofware problem!
Either way It sucks. This is supposed to be the best phone on the market and its not without bugs
I received an OTA from Sprint and my bluetooth is now working as intended in my car. Have others received this OTA and had their bluetooth issues resolved?
I'm having a similar issue, but it only fails to autoconnect once I have set it to use the phone as a Bluetooth audio device.
Car : Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) GTD
Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3
Works : Yes but can't sync contacts
All worked fine with LFB ROM (auto pairing and contacts sync) but from LG6 (LG8, LG9 and LH1) my phone disconnected 5sec after a contacts sync and auto reconnect 1min later...
So I just paired the phone without contacts synchronising.
Good news for everyone : everything works fine with JB (contacts, auto pairing...) !
Soon on Criskelo ROM :good:

LH7 today but still problems in fact. I had a very lucky test... cause today it's impossible to synchronize contacts correctly without being disconnected every 10 secs.
All I can do is pairing S3 and car kit without contacts...
I think I found a solution that seems to work well for me. I tried 3 times and it works.
I tested one last time just leaving a blank LH7 stock ROM then a nandroid backup from a previous version and if it is confirmed, I will explain the process. :laugh:
I solved the problem! (at least with my config)

I just installed the Tmobile OTA update and verify that the bluetooth reconnection issue has been resolved. I was using the workaround prior to this update and it worked as stated. After the update, I removed the pairing profile and re-pair from scratch and it worked right away. My issue now is that only a small portion of my (google) contact list gets transferred to the car. If anyone has any suggestions on workaround, it will be much appreciated
Stupid question but we never know... : did you wait long time enough ?
Check your google contacts and avoid :
- *
- non-ASCII characters
- email addresses with 'home' or 'work' attribute
With a little luck ...
Ive been trying to figure this out now for a month and so far i have found:
If i restore back to stock image (rooted) with samsung bloatware bluetooth will work perfectly fine.
If i then go to use TB to restore all my apps data etc, whenever i get into the car i will then get aprox 30 seconds - 2 minutes delay in the pairing.
If i restore back to stock and just use phone book it works perfectly fine. So i wondered if something was in the restore.
If i then flash a custom rom (any rom 4.0.4) on it will just take 30 mintues or whatever the timeout i have set in the bluetooth config file, this in theory is a dead end does nto work. If i then reflash the custom rom and do a complete user wipe, fix perm and nuke all the cache it then works perfectly fine with the custom rom (exactly like the stock).
I then can go to the car and it will pair perfectly. If i then go to TB and restore (including bt pairing etc) i get stuck in the 30 -2 minutes pairing, sometimes even longer.
Now here is the strange part, if i know my phone is at the stage where it will pair within 2 minutes i know i can restart my phone and it will pair instantly! If i turn off BT and turn it back on it will not pair.
OK so now i kind of know how to get it working but not as perfect as walking to the car and it pairs within a second or two. If i then flash a kernel (any i have tried about 4 of the popular ones) i then get 0 pairing, it can try for 10 minutes - 20 minutes it will just not pair. I then have to reflash over on top the custom rom with full bloatware.
Ok so now if i try the same as above minus the bloatware i get stuck in the non pairing mode again. non of this install bluetooth.apk, pressing cancel to contacts works for me. My BMW, AUDI will just get stuck in limbo where its paired but the connection is similar to a phone call for an unlimited lengeth of time it will just not work.
My current state of the phone is like this... OMEGA ROM (any version 4.0.4), stock kernel, FULL bloatware and my phone will pair either instantly or <2minutes. If it fails to do this a restart of the phone will pair it instantly.
I am able to freeze bloatware but any removal and the BT just hits deadlock. Now what is weird is i never ran my phone with bloatware at all up until all these problems started so something in the last month has sent my bt messy. even restoring back to my rom backup from when it was workign wil lnot fix it.
This is not a car BT issue as i have tried three cars and they work perfectly fine with any other phone.
I am getting kind of sick of sitting in the car flashing roms, trying things etc. I do not know what the problem is but atleast 2mins waiting time is better than not having anything
I'm on JB (Revolution HD 12.2) and my S3 still won't pair with a car kit, no matter what I do. :\

Activate Gear S WITHOUT a Samsung Phone

Some folks asked about if it's possible to use it as a stand alone device without the need of activating it in the first place with a Samsung device. It is! (I read that easter egg trick somewhere else in XDA for the Gear 2, it works as well for Gear S)
1. Jump to the screen, where it's visible for Samsung Devices in activation process. You'll see the unique name of your Gear S and a small Watch Icon on the left of the name
2. Tap around 25-30 times on the Watch Icon
3. Now a short message appears saying something about bluetooth. Just ignore it, it will vanish after a few seconds
4. Now tap again on the watch icon but this time leave your finger on the screen for around 5 seconds
5. Voilà, your Gear S is now activated, you can't use it as a remote Smartwatch but as a phone watch at least.
Hope, someone figures out how to pair it with Tab S soon since this is my phone
So, i hope it pairs with my LG G2 without much hassle? Remote sharing probably wont work because it is using Samsung account?
What about all other functions, like notifications, call forwarding etc? Is i even possible to reply on your phone and send via Gear S for messages

If the Steps above don't work buy the watch in the store and have the store pair/ or you to pair it with the display Model of the Note 4 (A guy in the Gear S thread has an iphone and this worked for him) Everything should work as a regular phone besides downloading apps (that needs to connect to the gear manager) and updates ( needs gear manager) Search the Gear 2 thread (Pair with non-Samsung phone works the same for our watch) Tizen is the OS and it should all work the same

Just tried this trick out and I'm happy to say it works perfectly. I have my gear s connected to my iPhone right now. You can receive and place calls directly from the watch.

:good::good::highfive: that's awesome you hear this ppl it works with non Samsung devices
The Op method worked. Now how do i update and connect with my LG G2? In my phone it just says connecting
I connected Gear S to Kies and it says it already has the latest FW
So text messages notifications do not work. That's all I was able to test.
i have an htc m8 .. does this mean i won't get text message notifications either??
I dont think it will.
Gear Manager needs to forward the text notification to your Gear S from your phone.
You might be able to do text if you use at&t messages as a default messaging app try that.
Amazing. This worked. THANK YOU!
Questions:
1) Bluetooth between iPhone and Gear S keeps dropping. How do you fix this?
2) Can you pair the device with more than 1 device? So for example, it's now paired with my 6 Plus. Can add a Galaxy to it so I can add apps? Seems to always factory reset the device.
3) I know text doesn't work but can we use Calendars or Email somehow?

Regarding the question 2:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and an Iphone. My Iphone is my main phone.
Currently, i successful paired my iphone without the factory reseting. To do that: first i rooted my Gear S. After i use the sdb tool (tizen wearable sdk):
./sdb root on
./sdb shell
and then
cd /var/lib/bluetooth
and i delete the directory with a lot of number (the bt adress of the gear) . Example rm -r C4:42:02:19:99:8D
After i can paired with the iphone without the factory reset.
The problem is i have to do the same thing to reconnect the Galaxy Note 2.
To be continued....

Hold on ... you're deleting the bluetooth address for the Gear?
And how are you not getting this:
No, i don't think that. This directory contains some bluetooth information relating the local (Gear S) address. When i (re)pair it, the directory becomes.
In fact, there is a sub directory with paired bt adresss containing some others informations. To be proper, i deleted the local directory: there is no memory reset, no app lost. I tried to merge the sub directory (the iphone and note 2 bt adress directory), but for the moment it's not concluant.
No, the pairing is sucessfully and i can make a phone call from the Gear S throw the Iphone. For an incoming call , it's another thing: the Gear S rings (but , it's configured in vibration model !), but there is no sound unlike i transferred the call to the iphone and after to the Gear S (not cool !).

Yes, it's a Gear S SM-R750.
The ROM version (rooted, see another thread on xda) is R750XXU1BNJ7.

Gear S and LG G5

Hey, I just got the LG G5 today. I've been using the Gear S for less than a year with my S6 Edge with no problems at all (after changing from the LG G Watch R, Samsung seemed to lock out the old watch with a software update).
I've been trying for the past few hours to set up my Gear S with the LG, but nothing's working. I've tried what seems to be the 2 most popular methods and neither worked. The closest I got was pairing the 2 via bluetooth in the Gear app, the watch said it needed to reboot and factory reset. But then nothing. Just stuck in an unending connecting loop.
The G5 is running Android 6, I've heard that the Gear S has some problems with that.
I don't need full functionality for the Gear S, just call and text notifications (it will do the calls via a normal BT connection but not texts). I use it as a music player as well, but since that isn't tied to the phone, I know I'll have that no matter what.
I've also heard about possibly being able to install Android Wear on the Gear S. Is that possible?
Can someone please help?

Sorry to tell you this, but gear s is locked down to only specific sammy devices. The best option for you is to flash the wear port from the development section. Then you can use it as a AW device... hope this helps

I did see the threads about flashing it to android wear, but if I do that can I still okay music out of my Gear S speakers?
Both my wife and I use it to listen to music work the need for an additional Downe speaker. If it can, then great.

Amazfit english version screen touch not working.

Hello developers,from last 5 days my amazfit touch screen not working.Its getting charging and even displays time.I tried to restart it 100 times but no use.I drained the battery and charged it 100% but still no use.Anyone please help.
Found a solution
Hi dear friend,
I also got the same issue with the watch. I found a solution to this. U can easily rectify it by unpairing the watch through phone's Amazfit app. Then watch will restart and touch will start to work. Afterwards if any updates for watch is available u can update.
Try this....
If already u have rectified the problem, tell me how and please share it. It will be useful for other users.
I try unpaired watch but touch not work,

ya it's work thanks bro its Diwali biggest gift thank you again
I have the same problem, but even after I did the unpairing, it still doesn't work, and the battery drains within a day. Now I cannot even pair the watch with my phone (Mi6) as the screen does not react to touch.
Please, help!

So it's still stock... Does it connect to Amazfit app on phone? If yes, have you tried to upair the watch while it's connected and pair again? If yes again, I am sorry but most probably it's a hardware issue.
No at present i have unpaired it.

Try with another Amazfit app version, another account, and another phone. If all fail, then again, probably it's due to a hardware failure.
I Tried with other phones and other apps

Dear friend,
i have tried with other phones and other apps but the watch doesnt show QR code to connect.
can i try to flash or factory reset my mobile by connecting it to pc?
is their any method to do it?
before the watch display stops responding i had installed custom watch faces into watch and after one week the watch's display stopped responding.
It gets charging its displaying only the current watch face but touch not responding.
I also have the same problem. Touch screen is not working. Pace 2.6.2.0. Pace is normally charging, no flickering on the screen. I have unpaired it with the phone, but no possibility to pair it again since I can't tell to confirm pairing number.

Use the phone with Amazfit that is currently paired with the watch to unpair it, keep both close and connected to each other so when you unpair all data on watch will be erased.
Or try this:

If it's paired with phone, go to Amazfit app -> My Watches -> More and tap on Unpair (it will erase all data on watch).
Or use the remote control app to go to Settings -> Device and choose factory reset. But I thought you had already done this (factory reset)...
Dear developers,
i have tried everything and at last my watch has been working its been updated 4 times and at present the version is 2.8.0.5
previously it was 1.2.6.0 or something.....its been working but sometimes the touch is not working,if i left it aside and after 10 to 15 minutes or after i restart it then it will work.
can you guys help me for this?
we can say that screen is flickering(making small quick moments).
please help
Anyone please help....iam a fitness freak and i badly need it to get repaired

Hello, I'm writing hoping someone can help me.
My pace it's broken or so it seems, like it is turned on but not showing anything on screen. In first it seemed dead but was connected to my phone and counting steps but nothing on screen.
When receiving notifications it was vibrating as usual but again nothing on screen.

Thank you

Same problem, but on Note 10 Pro. Watch just randomly disconnects, bluetooth connection needs to be manually started again. Tried reinstalling apps, restarting watch, a2dp, turning off miui optimalization, and still nothing.
Everything was working fine on android 12. Now the lifetime of my active2 watch is down from 3 days, to maybe 1,5 days.
Anybody has any ideas? I am considering downgrading to android 12, cause it's so bad.
Thanks!
