won't connect

[steveL332]

I just upgraded to the Galaxy S6. The phone will pair to My Zen Watch but will not connect. Just stays in limbo and displays connecting. Tried it for over an hour but still won't connect. Rebooted the phone and watch a few times...same result. Will pair just fine but will not connect. Besides a reset of the watch, any ideas?

Did you install Android Wear yet? My Zenwatch is clearly connected to my HTC One M7 right now, but when I go into bluetooth settings it lists the watch as "Last paired on: 4-07 13:40" and does not say it is connected.

I think it might just be a quirk with how Android Wear functions. Try installing Android Wear if you haven't yet.

I installed it, uninstalled it, repeat. I ended up resetting the watch. Now it connects.

Looks like killing the saved version in Bluetooth and resetting the watch is working for me. Did it twice and worked both times. Last time was after Android Wear updated recently. I look back and forth between Bluetooth and Wear when I reboot and Wear can't connect.

Installing android wear will do the trick...
Still no connection? Close all your apps, turn off bluetooth, start Android Wear, this app will ask you to turn on bleutooth, click yes, and your connected. Worked for me several times. ( huawei Ascend P7, asus zenwatch)

The OP said he installed AW more than once. Anyway, hopefully he got it working in the 5 months since he posted...
