Usually I can resolve my own issues, but this time I need some help.
My 360 disconnects from my phone often (about 20 times a day) while at home. Sometimes it will reconnect immediately, sometimes I have to toggle bluetooth, sometimes I have to reboot both phone and watch.
Usual symptom: Android Wear says the watch is connected, but using the watch to toggle wifi/sound/etc. has no effect, media controls don't work (I press pause and it goes right back to play), notifications in general don't come in. I disconnect using Wear, then toggle bluetooth, then the two connect again but just for a few minutes before it seems to time out. Rarely does Wear actually tell me that the watch is disconnected.
On two occasions, my phone forgot the watch all by itself, like it wasn't even there. I had to factory reset the watch in order to reconnect.
I've tested thoroughly and can confirm this is *only* happening while my phone is connected to my home wifi. While on data or other wifi networks (both 2.4 and 5 ghz bands), the issue is non-existent.
My phone (Moto X 2014) is running 5.1 stock and rooted. I greenify Facebook only. I use Tasker but do not have any wifi-specific profiles set.
The watch is running 5.1.1 and I'm using the latest Android Wear. I tried rolling back a few versions but no change. I've also wiped cache, Google Play Services data, and performed a fresh install of all wear-related apps.
My router is running the latest firmware (Verizon router provided with Fios).
It happened again last night after all-day disconnects - out of nowhere I received a pairing request from my watch. The phone had just forgotten it, and I wasn't able to re-pair without performing a reset of the watch.
Steps taken since then: 1. Set different wifi channel (still going through this); 2. Set wifi to 802.11/n; 3. Uninstalled Wear Mini Launcher (provides notification when phone and watch disconnect... I suspect it might be causing issues).
This is probably pretty far-fetched, but my wife's Fitbit Charge is being replaced because it won't hold a charge for a full 24 hours. A small part of my brain thinks maybe it's because its bluetooth is malfunctioning and causing interference. I haven't been home while she's away, though, to tell if there's any difference being out of proximity to her device.
I have two Chromecasts in the home (one usually always active), and a baby monitor that is only on while I'm at work.
My router is 2.4ghz only -- I'm going to try a borrowed dual-band router, but likely won't get to setting that up for a while.
Kind of at my wit's end, here. Would appreciate any suggestions!
