Samsung Gear S - Android 5 problem

[Ihtiander Aowd]

I have Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Some time ago I bought Samsung Gear S.Everything was ok. Disconnection and connection between devices was done automatically so many times per day, so many times I were with Gear S far enough from Note 3. Every time I came back close to Note 3, my Gear S was connected to them automatically.
After upgrading Note3 to Android 5 automatical connection dissapear. Now when I go with Gear S far enough from Note 3, my watches show "not connected", but Note 3 still show "connected through Bluetooth". So when I come back to my phone - nothing changes. To connect devices I forced switch off bluetooth on Note 3. After that devices start to show "remote connection". I forced to switch off that connection on Note 3.After that I foced switch on bluetooth on the Note 3 and press "connect" in the Gear S app. Only after all these steps devices connected again. I forced to do that every time when I forget to take Note 3 with me (to the toilet etc). I want to know - if someone have some troubles as me and may be someone know solution ?

I would unpair them and re pair to see if that fixes things. If not then reset your watch and reconnect it to the phone then restore everything, that should for sure do the trick

Thanx a lot.
I just want to be sure that it is only my single problem and not a problem between Gear S and android 5 at all.
May be someone have same problem as me?

There were some reports of similar problem early on, e.g. a few months back, with Lillipop updates on some Samsung phones. But it is more of phone side thing. Newer Lillipop updates, like the one my Galaxy Alpha received, work just fine.

I'd recommend you take the above suggestion to see if it helps.

If it comes to factory wipe of the watch I'd suggest uninstall Gear Manager at the same time then reinstall. It'll reset the watch anyway and eliminate the possibility of it being the Gear app not playing nicely. It's what I ended up having to do after lollipop.

I did it today twice. I reset Gear S and delete Gear app from the phone. After I connect devices again - no any changes. So now I have two options: reset phone and watches or wait some update for Lollipop.
