Android Wear connection problems.

[ryan77627]

OK. So my lg g watch has been acting funny since I got it. It works fine, but when the tablet screen turns off it stays sarong offline and finally disconnects after some time. When I go back on the tablet it said connected but watch is not so I have to go to the android wear app and press disconnect and connect again. This gets really annoying. Plz help.

Welcome to the forums. What device is the watch connected to?

 

[ryan77627]

HP 8 G2 running Android KitKat 4.4.2

Perhaps there is a Bluetooth bug with the tablet? Have you contacted HP to see what they say?

Yes, but HP and LG are no help. They arent ever clear either. All I do is tell them things and they refer to each other.

 

[Golfdriver97]

Has the device had any system updates?

 

[ryan77627]

Nope it wasnt working before so i switched from DALVIK to ARM but still doesnt work

EDIT: It works for a little when the screen is off but only after a notification comes through

 

[Golfdriver97]

Not sure what to suggest. Sorry.

No ideas? OK then :'(

Isn't anyone else having this problem?

No issues as of yet. Maybe reset the device?

Have you tried pairing with a phone instead of a tablet?

No I have no access to an android phone. Closest i can get is an emulator of android. And I have reset both devices numerous times.

Well all I can suggest is:

1. Uninstall android wear app from tablet.
2. Remove watch from bluetooth pairings on tablet.
3. Factory reset watch.
4. Install android wear on tablet again.

After that if you are still having problems, I think you have basically two choices:

1. Get a phone. These devices are meant to work with phones, not surprised there are issues with a tablet.
2. Return watch.

Also disable any power saving features of the tablet. It sounds like wifi and/or bluetooth are turning off when the screen is off.
