Galaxy S8 and Android Wear 2.0... unable to send Google Account - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi, I want to share with you a problem that I detected with the Galaxy S8 and the Huawei Watch 2.
During the configuration of Android Wear, is impossible to send Google Account from the S8 to the clock. I tried all ways, also delete the account and configure it later from the Android Wear prompt, but did not work and the clock don't receive the account.
The phone remains searching but never permit to select an account to send.
The clock works with other phones, so I think is a software bug in the S8 firmware, but if you know any solution I will thank you very much!!
Do anyone have the same problem?

Hi, same problem on my new Galaxy S8 and my old, but always very good, LG G Watch R !
My previus phone was a Galaxy S7, and I never had problems on Android Wear.
Now, on my S8, when I start Android Wear, he never display my watch, to select them (on connect screen) !
I can connect both trought Bluetooth, but with or without Blutooth connected Android Wear don't see my LG G Watch R
I tried restart phone and Watch, but without succes !
Does anyone have a solution ?

Same problem here with Huawei Watch (first one). Made a thread last week but no replies.
Annoying bug.

Same issue with Android Wear and my Samsung S8+. I can pair my Fossil Q Marshal I Understand that Samsung makes watches but we as consumers should be able to pair non Samsung watches. Im going to send Samsung Tech Supoort an email. That is why Im Android and not Apple

Got 2.0 on my 2nd gen Moto 360 yesterday. Same issue.

Hi, I've been looking for a solution for this issue , and finally got it working again. You need te clean data from google app, google play services and android wear, then eliminate your google account from your phone, factory reset watch, and then when you are trying to pair it, it would ask for a google account, input your account and it will be working, hope it helps .

Just switched from Galaxy S7 to S9 and run into the issue with my LG Watch Urbane. Unfortunately cleaning data and removing the Google account temporarily didn't fix the issue for me. Annoying that a phone upgrade rendered the Smartwatch unusable. I have no real idea what to do now.

[Q] Not able to discover moto360

Hi team,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo(SM-N750) INU(Indian version) running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat Stock ROM.
Currently my moto360 is not able to discover from Bluetooth but the watch is working fine with other phone.
This issue is occurred after I paired my pebble with the phone and installed pebble software.
I uninstalled and pebble software and rebooted the phone / watch many time and tried , no luck .
Tried reinstalling the moto connect and Android wear on phone.
I noticed both pebble and moto360 wont work together , there was an issue connecting pebble(watch not discovered from Bluetooth) when I first install the moto360. There moto360 work but not pebble now pebble is working but not moto360.
Can you guys help me how to resolve this ? I believe the phone factory reset will resolve but any alternate solution to this?
Currently I would like to connect my moto360 only and I really appreciate if you help on this & is any option to work both pebble and Android wear together?.

You should try to factory reset your watch, not your phone. Connect your watch like is brand new. Do the same with your pebble after everything is ok with moto.
Also you should delete cache and data from your pebble watch apk.
Hi Calinormy,
Thank you very much for your prompt support.
Now My Moto360 connected and working fine after the watch reset.
I tried a factory reset with my pebble and installed pebble app on my phone.
Now moto works fine but pebble is not able to discover.
I think both watches wont work together and I believe If i uninstall Android wear and moto connect from phone(clear the cache too) then probably pebble will work but not moto.
Anyhow this helps and many thanks to Calinormy.

Paired with Gear S:

Ordered the 6P last night, who knows when it will arrive. Wanted to see if anyone has paired a Gear S with the device to see how it works, what features don't work, etc. I currently have a Gear S paired with my Galaxy Note Edge.
I would like to know this as well. I have my 6P, and I am thinking about buying the Gear S.
I kind of got it working. Issue: if it's connected via bluetooth to your phone, any incoming calls you answer are through the watch (although incoming calls display on both devices). So, for now, I have bluetooth turned off. Since the watch has its own number, that's the only way to receive/make calls if you're not connected to your phone. I'm trying an SMS forwarding app so that text messages go to the watch as well as the phone, however the text shown on the watch comes from your phone's number, not who originally sent the text. Basically, I have the watch as a stand-alone device. The Gear Manager app doesn't work although you can get it installed on the phone..........just doesn't find the watch. There's a way to get your watch past the screen that says "use the Gear App to connect". On that screen you see an icon of the watch, tap on that about 25 or so times until you see the bluetooth message, afterwards, press and hold that watch icon until the next message appears and you're ready to go.
Question for anybody using any of the other ROMs, will the Gear S work with any of the rooted custom roms?
I got a gear s2 working on my Nexus 6P rooted rom
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app
Were you able to have it working prior to rooting?

I'm on a stock, bootloader locked 6P and have a Gear S2 working perfectly with it. However, there's a caveat. When I first got the watch, it pairs up just fine, but there's an update that you're prompted to take but can't because the phone is encrypted. What you need to do in that case is pair it with a phone that's on the Gear S2 supported list (http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/), in my case a Nexus 6 that's stock and encrypted, take the update, then reset the watch and pair it with the 6P again. If you don't have this update, any time the watch and 6P become disconnected, whether because they're out of range of each other or because you intentionally disconnect them, you have to reset the watch and pair it again. After this update, that's fixed.
It seems odd because both the 6P and Nexus 6 I have are encrypted, but because the Nexus 6 is on the list of compatible devices, it works while the 6P has the connection issue without this update. But simply pairing the watch with any of the phones on the compatibility list above, taking the update, then resetting the watch and pairing it with the 6P again fixes this.
Other than that issue, the Gear S2 works flawlessly? Receives notifications for email, text, calendar reminders, phone calls, etc.?
Would pairing it to my son's Galaxy S4 receive the Gear S2 update?
I tried the workaround in the Gear S forum, and couldn't get it to work. I wonder if Gear Manager needs to be updated for 6.0?
If there isn't a fix soon, I will probably sell my Gear S.
The Gear Manager app was updated for Android 6.0., but appears they only have it working for the Gear S2, not the Gear S.

As far as I'm aware, the gear s is only designed to work with galaxy devices. I had the gear s2 & had nothing but problems with it. The disconnect>reset bug did my head in. Wasn't worth the hassle in the end. Got rid of it to a mate who has a Samsung phone & bought the Sony smartwatch 3 instead. I'm happy, he's happy. Everybody's happy.
Does the Sony Smartwatch 3 have a speaker?

Sony Smartwatch 3 On s7 edge Nougat

I've already asked in the sw3 forum but no positive confirmation.........
Does anybody have a Sony Smartwatch 3 that still works since upgrading to Nougat 7.0? Other users with HTC phones are definitely working with Nougat.
Everything worked fine before upgrading and I've tried everything to fix the issue including a factory reset on the phone and the watch and using safe mode to rule out specific apps but the watch will not stay connected to my s7 edge.
It starts the pair via android wear but as soon as it starts syncing I get loads of bluetooth share has failed errors and then stops communicating altogether. Sometimes if I clear the bluetooth share cache and wipe the system partition the connection restarts for a minute or two but that's it.
I've come to the conclusion it's either a faulty watch or it's not compatible with my edge!
Thanks,
Andy

How to Pair Android Wear Watches to New Phones without Factory Resetting
A tutorial on how to pair Android Wear smartwatches to a new phone without factory resetting. Also useful if you flash a custom ROM and don't want to reset!

Good pairing information! Cheers
I doubt you will have much luck with this since the P40 does not have Google Services installed, it will therefor not be able to get the account information from your P40.

Can't completing wearOs pairing and setup on a Tablet. TicWatch 3 lte/Lenovo Tab 10 FHD

Hi all guys!
I have TicWatch 3 lte and a Lenovo Tab 10 FHD Tablet. I'm trying to complete WearOs setup on my Tablet but unsuccessfully. With a phone Sony XZ1 Compact no problem.
Before setup, if don't pair them via Android previuosly i lose pairing during first steps of setup in WearOs app. In this way i can reach the screen of WearOS where you can see my watch photo with the options of tabs,notifications, etc.. but do not apper the default faces you can choose, and, most important, on the watch setup is not complete and i can't use it.
I'm also able to install mobvoi app and send a new face to the watch, on the watch will appear that face "waiting to download", but stucks there.
I've tryed anything suggested on the web, reinstall, delete storage data anche cache of goggle and google play services, and other combinations. No luck.
Any other ideas?
I just need that my watch can control music on my tablet, just this!
Is there another way, or app, or rom, or anything else to pair them and make them work?
Thank you for you time guys
Maybe because it is the LTE version it is looking for some sort of sim pairing too? Does it ask anything about a sim during the setup in wear?
Just a suggestion, try unpairing with the lenovo tablet (even Bluetooth)factory rest watch,try to disable lte on the watch. Clear data/ cache in wear,delete wear, redownload,re-pair with lte disabled?
Hi tecnut, the only way to solve it was to change android 10 to a new version. So i've unlocked and rooted, then putted on android 12.
