I have a new a car that has Android Auto wireless only and the Duo 2 just will not connect. It connects to Bluetooth so calls etc. are fine but I can't connect to Android Auto at all. I thought it was a car issue initially but I've tried a Samsung phone and that connected no problem. I think it might have something to do with connecting to a WiFi network that doesn't have Internet. The phone keeps disconnecting from it but if anyone has solved this it would be much appreciated! The Duo 2 is fully updated and I can't see anything obvious that's disabled.

I’ve recently upgraded from an S2 to an S3 and have a slight issue. When I’m out the house and connected via a data connection (O2 giffgaff) all is great however when I get back home or to a saved wifi spot my phone will not automatically connect to it whilst the screen is off. I have to litterally wake the screen from sleep/lock mode to the home screen where I can see the data connection still on then soon after it will switch to WiFi with the connected confrimation message.
Surley I shouldnt have to wake my phone when coming in range to a saved WiFi point in order for it to connect to it, my S2 never had such issue and automatically connected to saved points. Earlier I went down to the shop and used the data connection whilst there, come back to work and hadn’t woke my phone for about half hour, turned it on and it started connecting to the wireless. The connection still works when the phone is in sleep/lock screen as I still recieve emails etc so it's not cutting of data connections completely when sleeping so I'm a bit puzzled by this, I haven't tested this vice versa WiFi to data but I'm sure there must be a simple setting somewhere.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I noticed this earlier on, I was out all day, returned home and wifi wouldn't auto connect, I had to disable and re enable wifi

It's strange I can't quite work it out, I tested it the other way round and it seemed to automatically connect to mobile data when there was no saved WiFi in range so it only seems to be an issue with auto connecting to WiFi.
I'm going to try a few more tests.

You could try deleting the saved network and adding it again. It has happened to me before and that has fixed the problem.

Cheers, will give this ago and will let you know what happens :fingers-crossed:
my wifi keeps dropping. Is anyone else having this issue.? It only stays connected about 2 minutes and then disconnects. I have tried to reboot the phone with it does not seem to fix the issue. One other thing it does not reconnect either.
Gman
found it
It was smart WiFi. Add to add home router to this app and now I'm staying connected. Thanks!

Seems like that only happens once you open the att wifi app.
Opened the app last night and once I tried to connect to a new network it would just keep dropping wifi and disabling the radio. Anyone know if freezing or uninstalling the att smart wifi app fixes this?
I disabled most all the ATT bundled apps right away and have had no problems with wifi.
Hey guys,
OK Ive got a strange problem with one of my Galaxy S3's!
It will not connect to some WIFI connections! It will say 'Obtaining IP address' then 'Failed to obtain IP address' and then loops itself doing the same thing over and over...?
I have two S3's and my other rooted device is fine. The one that has the problem is running a standard O2 4.3 rom (Un-rooted)
My rooted phone is also running 4.3.
Anyone experienced a similar problem? I have had this problem with 4 or 5 WIFI connections now, including my home one which is rather annoying! I have tried the obvious and rebooted my router, which hasn't helped!
Any advice welcomed!

I've had issues with the quality of my internet connection being checked, and then the connection being killed due to "slow internet connection", even on strong Wifi networks. Solution turned out to be to uncheck the automatic network switch in the advanced Wifi settings.

How so, when I have an identical phone sat right next to it with the same version of Android and that phone connects perfectly?
The only difference is one phone is rooted, the other is not (Both running 4.3, just different kernal number and build number)
Well wifi is a function of the kernel .
I did a search and didn't find anything so I apologize if this is a re-post. I can't figure out what function the Wi-Fi has on the Moto360 2. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I tried figuring this out too since my old gear 2 running wear didn't have wifi. from what I understand if you disconnect from Bluetooth, if you're on a wifi network you can get notification on your watch still no matter where your phone is. your phone can be on the wireless network and not wifi, and still through Google cloud services can send notifications to your watch. you can be like anywhere in the world I presume, and if your watch is on wifi, then you'll get notifications still

That's what I was thinking and I tested that out today without any success. But I think it's because I'm at work and the WiFi situation here is not the best. I'll test at home. Thanks
What the wifi functionality on the watch does, as it did on the 1st gen, is allow communication from your phone to the watch when the watch is out of bluetooth range. You have to be on the same wifi network with the watch and phone currently. There is no current multiple network communication at the moment, though I hope they implement that in the near future. If my hue lights can do it, my damn watch should be able to

Thanks for clearing that up. So the WiFi functionality is basically useless. If my phone and my watch are on the same WiFi network, then the chances are extremely high that they are both also within bluetooth range of each other. Adding to that, the fact that you need your phone to connect to a WiFi network in the first place really defeats the object of having WiFi on the watch at all. So if you're out and about without your phone, there is no chance for you to hook up with a WiFi hotspot.
If my Nexus 6p is connected to 5ghz wifi and my moto 360 2 is connected to 2.4ghz wifi on the same network will i have notifications if i lose bluetooth range?

It's great for me when I'm at home or in the office since bluetooth drains the phone battery much quicker than WiFi. Outside of that benefits are pretty limited.
it's not true though. they don't have to be on the same network. when my phone is 4g and watch is wifi, i still get it. that's because google cloud services are running on the phone and upload and the watch receives it.... just like how my Flux wifi bulb can be accessed remotely from another network and 4g.

I can confirm this. Working on different networks. Wifi plus 4G working fine.

Do notifications on the watch work if the phone is off or dead? What I'm getting at is do the notifications actually come from the phone over wifi or do they come directly from google services?
I have been trying this on my wifi network with no luck. My phone is on my 5ghz wifi and the watch can only do 2.4 (I live in an apt and the 2.4 spectrum is absurdly saturated), I do not get alerts when my phone is out of range (rare since my apt is small).
I like the feature a lot if it worked correctly, it means my phone can sit charging somewhere (IE my room) and I can be around doing things and still get alerts. I will have to do more testing tonight. I might try turning bluetooth off on my phone and see if I still get alerts to my phone.
Still new to the smartwatch world but I love my 360
Hello there, it's been a long time since I've posted on XDA but I require assistance. I purchased an S6 Edge a few months back and everything is working as should apart from bluetooth tethering.
I have tried with my laptop and my nexus 7 which I have installed in my car, both of which worked fine with my previous HTC M8. After setting up tethering on my phone, the other devices connect and the icon appears indicating that tethering is active and an internet connection is available, but I am not able to actually connect to the internet.
My Samsung is not rooted, unfortunately, as I don't want to trip 'knox' for warranty purposes.
Just to clarify that I am doing everything correctly, I select 'mobile hotspot and tethering' from the settings menu of my S6 Edge, then 'Bluetooth tethering'. This turns on Bluetooth and enables tethering. From my paired devices (Laptop and nexus 7) I select 'Use as internet connection'. The devices connect and the tethering icon appears. No internet connection is available.
I imagine this isn't a common issue as after searching I didn't find any threads indicating the same problem.
What would be the best way to troubleshoot this?
EDIT: I would like to add that Bluetooth file sharing works without problems.
EDIT: I would also like to add that my phone is SIM free, and I use the same provider as with my previous HTC M8 that worked fine.
My android version is still 5.1.1 as the update is not available in my area yet.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Rob.
Update: I manually updated my phone to 6.0.1 (without rooting) as I never got the update pushed to my phone. I am still having the same bt tethering issue. My phone says I'm connected and sharing internet with my other device (nexus 7) but that device isn't connected. My s6 is connected fine, it's just not sharing properly.
I get the same results with my laptop.
Can any body suggest any fixes??
EDIT: If my phone is connected to wifi, it will share that connection. If it is connected to 3g/4g it doesn't share the connection even though the phone itself is connected.
Bump.
I suppose nobody is having this problem. Is there any way to debug what is happening?
I am having the same problem. Trying to bluetooth tether my Galaxy s6 edge to Galaxy S2 tab. Both on Android 6.0.1 It appears that the connection is established, but internet does not work on the tablet. Let me know if you had any luck.
