Hello all!
I must say, this watch is a very nice toy to play with and very handy in meetings! I have used the watch for a few days now, but I (only) have 2 issues to be solved which I cannot seem to find the answer yet:
1. The watch is connected to my phone OK (all notifications come through all the time). However, when I say "OK google" and then for instance "show me my steps" or "show me the weather", it will go to a screen saying me the connection is offline (white logo on blue background on the top of the screen). When I dismiss that message, I see that my connection is still OK! Weird .... this happens to me practically 80-90% of the times .... on a very rare occasion it succeeds to show me the info I want. By the way, my internet connection is OK at that time.
2. I have my phone also connected with BT to my Volvo V40 (2013). However, with the watch also on BT, the carkit of my Volvo is now almost useless as the voice is completely messed up (from the caller to me, and from me to the caller), sounds very intermittend or something. It seems like the BT connection is not happy with having 2 devices to be connected at the same time. My phone is an iNew V3 ... could it be something with BT profiles or versions?
I have already tried to reset the watch, re-install wear on my phone, deleted the dalvik cache (phone), un-installed apps, but no luck. Anybody have a clue on the above?
Maybe your Wifi/3G connexion is in sleeping mode and is too long to unsleep ? the watch can not connect so quickly ?
You sound like having BT reception issues on the phone. This behaviour might be triggered by the bluetooth interface itself (on the phone - bad design) or by bad drivers (also on the phone) or by interferences from the wifi module. Is your wifi on all the time?
Regular wifi is on 2.4GHz, the same frequency as BT. Wifi, however, uses more Rx/Tx power compared to BT so, under certain bad antenna designs, WiFi can just mess-up BT.
On my phone (Z1C) is the other way around: having BT ON will cause bad performance on 2.4GHz WiFi .... so I just stopped using the 2.4 band for WiFi.
Give it a try, Worst case scenario: use another phone.
Hi guys,
Thanks for the reply. About the first idea ... well if I have my phone on the charger and already switched on, it still happens. So there I assume the 3G / wifi connection is already on and this issue will not be due to the delay of switching the data connection on. Am I right?
Second option: my wifi is switched on all the time, you are right. I will try to experiment a little bit with it, let's see if that will make a difference. And, changing the phone ... hmmm well that would be a very high impact of course. My iNew V3 actually works very well ...
I am still a bit struggling with accepting it is my phone causing this issue ... only with the voice regocognition I have this issue ... with all other commands and apps the connection is OK! Only with the "OK google" option it says "offline" ... and immediately (I do not see the colored circle). To me it looks more like a but in the software or something, but after 3 resets of the device I also cannot believe that ...
Any more options? Thanks!

I am using a iNew V3 on KitKat with the 1.13 official version (however from needrom). Would that be the issue?

try to pair your watch with your friend phone and to check this is not a problem coming from your phone. sometimes certain kernel do have issue with some of the bluetooth device.
Hello everyone. Sorry for my English, because I am using a translator. I decided to write this post, because it happened to me the same trouble and I found her cause. In anticipation of its Nexus 6, I decided to temporarily buy fairly cheap option LG G60 (X135). When watch came to me, I noticed the same problem. I then tried to connect them to the Moto G (1st generation), and there is the same. but by chance, in the evening, in my hands was LG G90 and I connected watch to this phone. Everything works without any problem. it turns out that despite the declared characteristics (Bluetooth 4.0) in all devices, it works quite differently everywhere. I hope with Nexus no problems.
Hi all, after opening this thread I tried several things and have some new insights:
- new update (5.0.1) solved my issue with going "offline" after a voice command. Now it works perfectly! But only if I am not connected to my carkit.
- if my watch is connected and try to use the carkit the sound is still bad. So I would like to have my watch disconnected if my carkit connects:
-- this could be done by only allowing 1 device to pair with my phone and prioritize carkit to be first and watch to be second.
-- this could be done by actively unpairing the watch if I receive a call (and connect when call is over).
The first option would be the most reliable and most simple. I tried to find an app that restricts only having 1 pairing and having a prioritize option ... but I cannot find such app. People any options?
Thanks!
Hi guys, in response of the above, the app TRIGGER might do the job, but it seems closing the Android Wear app or disconnect via Bluetooth does NOT disconnect your watch! Has anybody succeeded in using TRIGGER to disconnect / connect the watch with a automatic job?

When I switch off my XDA IIs by button or SW button in most of the cases the device switches on it self for one more time.
Is there anyone who can help?
Thanks guys!
:?:
I have the same problem, I had a bluetooth headset paired to it, maybe that is it, I only got the XDAIIs today so I have not had much time to watch it but it happened tonight and the XDA mini never does it.
Each time the BT headset is switched on or off and pairs up or releases, when a text message arrives, when you come out of a signal blackspot and reconnect and find you have missed calls etc.
Basically anything that results in a visual change caused the device to switch on.
Very annoying. Don't know the solution.
I share your pain.
Joe
I'm using http://www.trancreative.com/nicestart.aspx to keep the device locked, but it will turn on/off, but now it's locked so i dont delete data when it turns on in my pocket.
No matter what you do, the device will turn on at least once every hour.
I read somewhere that it does this to check the battery status.
I had the same problem once. Please open ActiveSync, switch the device off and see if ActiveSync is trying to connect..
Of course there can be lots of other reasons...
Yes I didn't mention on my post that activesync also seems to be a player in this problem.
If activesync is running, somehow the device syncs at varying intervals from 5 mins-1hr and switches it on to do so.
I used the attached to kill activesync to stop it happening.
Hope it helps.
Joe
I just unchecked the "Use mobile schedule to sync with this PC" setting and the problem was solved.
Though this seems to be a bug in ActiveSync..
Thanks
Works fine, great!
i had this problem on my old rom, and since i upgraded to 1.40, it aint done it since. maybe u need to upgrade.
Guys,
I don't know if this is actually a cure yet, but it seems to have worked on my first attempt.
First the background...
When I first got my Kaiser (UK Orange Tytn II) I was at work, I quickly enabled the wifi and all was well. When I got back home later that day I really struggled to get a connection to my access point at home. I connect to a Cisco aironet in both locations (I know there is a post about cisco extensions but I know that is not my problem as I can and have connected to both APs on at least one occasion with no problem).
After deleting wireless settings and a few soft resets I was able to connect at home. I managed to use that wifi connection all night without a problem. Getting back into the office the next day resulted in the same problems connecting to the office access point.
The AP is visible and is 'Available' but doesn't connect automatically. I tried to establish the connection manually, the phone shows the AP as 'Connecting' but shortly after goes back to 'Available'.
I've tried flashing different roms and radios but to no avail.
Last night I got to thinking that I generally connect to my AP, browse the web, sync mail etc, but I don't switch off the wifi when I am finished. I just let the phone go into standby as that shuts the wifi off anyway. So to try something different last night, I disabled wifi once I had finished.
This morning, when I got into the office, I enabled wifi and for the first time it connected immediately and I'm browsing on it just fine. This leads me to believe that there is a problem when the wifi is enabled and the phone is is standby mode for a considerable length of time and then is woken up in a totally different location.
I'll test again tonight by disabling the wifi before I leave the office and hopefully I'll get an instant connection when I get home.
Any thoughts?
I get the same thing for work and cannt connect even though it says available, and then connected.
Tried your approach but didnt work for me.

Of course that might be due to any number of factors. Have you ever been able to connect at your office?
i've had issues with my orange (uk) tytnII actually wanting to make a GPRS connection whilst connected to WiFi when i try and go online.
I connect at work using a program called Odyssey and eventually got that working yesterday, but had to turn off most other connectivity before it'd actually use the WiFi.
then I was at a pub later on with a free wifi hot spot, but that wouldn't connect despite it being 'available'
YAY!
Well...
I retested my theory. Disabled the wireless before I left the office. Got home, enabled it and I connected with no issues.
So there is a problem with having the wifi on when the phone goes into standby and it then waking up in a totally different location.
I wonder if WM6.1 addresses this. I hope so because although I have a work around, its still a pain in the a$$
I had similar problems on my Wizard... never had anything like that on my Kaiser.

Thanks, I might give that a go when I get a chance.
My problem is similiar. If I connect to a certain access point, it will stop working after a minute or so and then not be able connect to that access point or any other one, they are just listed as available. Strange...
Firstly set your wifi power to max.
Secondly, my orange Tytn2 (now dutty v3'd) has never had that problem.
I leave navizon on a lot of the time and thus enter and leave wifi zones frequently with wifi on and my device connects fine to the regular ones I use.
Wi-fi connection
Hi unwired,
I've been surfing this site, but unable to find an answer yet, a newbie that I am. Is there a way to define one network as default? Anytime I want to connect, I have to do it manually, and define settins, rather than just switch it on, connect automatically and fire away. This is how it works on my laptop, or I have to high expectations from the Kaiser?
Thanks in advance.

This is nothing to do with power settings, or at least not for me or several other people I have spoken to. Its generally not a problem when the wifi is on, its after the device has gone into suspend.
I'll bet my bottom dollar that if I set the reg hack so the wifi is always on I wont have this problem but I can't deal with the battery drain.
Just this morning I was connected to my office wifi, went for lunch without switching off the wifi first and when I got back I was longer able to connect to the same access point.
I then deleted the settings for the access point, soft reset and I'm connected again (even if I switch to low power).
To say that this pi$$es me off is an understatement, what kind of wireless device cant handle waking up in a different location to the one it went to sleep in!?

I have had similar problems. I get disco'ed from my AP at home and it won't let me re-connect. Jut keeps asking for the WPA2 key.
I use the same remedy as you. Turn off Wifi Before walking out of range. No amount of Softreset's fix it for me.
Although, some ROM's work better than others. ie Alex's WM6 ROM would not connect at all, the ROM / Radio in my sig are perfect so far.
P.S. This might also be tied to my router, cause a router reset fixes it for me. But i doubt work will let you try that

Yeah I'm really hoping that this is fixed in WM6.1 which, if your experience is anything to go by, might well be the case. I really wanted to wait for the official 6.1, but I feel a flash of Duttys 6.1 coming on real soon.
So I've searched around a bit and not really found anyone else having this issue... Is it just me or is no one complaining?
The Bluetooth connection shows to be solid on the phone "connected, running sync loop" shows in the notification bar and the little connection lost cloud is not displayed on the watch.
However, notifications will not push and if I try to initiate a voice command it spins for while and then tells me that it is "unable to reach the Google server" turning Bluetooth on and then back off will rectify the issue temporarily. And... To make things more complicated it will randomly happen a lot one day and hardly at all another day ( of course it always acts up when someone starts asking questions about the watch and wants a demo, which in turn makes you look like a gullable early adopting fool.)
I'm currently using a gear live with a nexus 5 running the latest stable build of cm11. Ive also tested with and without WiFi enabled, because I thought I noticed a correlation but there seems to be none.
Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?

That happened to me a couple of times too, but the watch usually had the cloud connection symbol thing while my phone said "connected, running sync loop." Turning bluetooth on and off and/or hitting the connect/disconnect button in the android wear app fixed the problem, but it seems to happen again whenever I leave the phone away from the watch and the BT connection is lost. It's doesn't seem to regain the connection on its own.
Is this is a CM11 problem, though? I also have CM11 (nightlies and milestones) and I had the same issue with my pebble watch. I'm thinking of going stock to see if it fixes the problem.

The thing that gets me is how inconsistent it appears to be. My phone is always in my pocket, and the cloud "disconnected" icon never appears.
however the link is clearly broken. I may do a wipe and install AOSP. I hope that is not the issue, ive really been enjoying the theme engine in cm11 along with all of the other customizability features

I had the same issue with my nexus 5 running CM11. Two or three times throughout the day my watch would just stop receiving notifications, but it would still say it was connected. Often I noticed it because when I went to give it a voice command it would not register and then say it was disconnected until I swiped away the notification. I've just flashed over to Omni ROM to see if that fares better, since I'm pretty sure the issue was mainly with CM11 on this phone.

The same exact thing is happening to me, just one day started to get in a "Pairing Loop" continually asking me to pair the watch to my phone. Upon pairing successfully and syncing some notifications the connection gets broken and immediately a new parigin code appears.
UPDATE:
I'm back on cm11 and everything is working properly. The problem is not the ROM, its the Kernel that comes baked in. Currently using elementalX Kernel and no issues.
Hello,
My smartwatch LG G Watch R is connected throug bluetooth, but 9 out of 10 times teh ok google says its offline, with a slashed cloud.
I have allready factory reset both phone and watch.
Reinstall Google Now
Check settings 100 times
Is my watch broken? Or can this be another problem?
regards,
Frans
I have had this a couple of times. It is the phone not connecting to the internet. I only have had it when on wifi. Switched wifi on phone off and on and that fixed it.
Does it happen on wifi and mobile data?
Hi. Yes it means that it's connected to the phone but the phone is not connected to the Internet.

Have the same problem; it's connected via bluetooth AND voice recognition works perfectly on the phone - any ideas anyone ?
Ash
seems to be when i receive a card, directly after it wont connect
Hi all, I've registered in order to ask exactly the same question.
Every time I use some voice recognition (i.e. give an order, answer to someone...) I got these "offline" errors same as OP.
"Offline" or "Can't reach Google at the moment" even if my phone is 100% with internet conectivity.
Anyone got this fixed? Any troubleshooting around it?
Thanks in advance !
I'd expect it would happen if you have a battery saver like Juice Defender on the phone that turns off data when the screen is off, or only switches it on every 15 mins etc. I'd turn off any battery saving stuff on the phone that could be doing anything like that and see if there's any improvement
At least I, I don't have any kind of battery saving application...
Add me to this list. Total garbage. I've had this watch for a few days and I'm very underwhelmed because of this problem.
I've experienced the same problem. Watch works when wifi is active but goes" offline" when only connected to data. I believe I've come across a solution. It's working for me.
Switch on background data for Google search.(on your phone) That worked for me.
Go to settings, data usage, scroll down to Google search (should be there on the list) and make sure background data isn't restricted.
Hope this helps. Good luck guys/girls.

Nope no joy for me with this...
No ticks in any app on that list..!
These constant disconnects are really getting to me now !
Strangely I'm on a note 3 too, albeit running the leaked lollipop rom, I take it your still on stock KitKat firmware ?
I was going to flash back to 4.4.3 stock to see if it cures it but if you're still on this I won't bother.

Looks like a very common problem across all android wear watches.
Even though I have a G Watch R, I've had a nosey around and according to the Moto 360 forums they are having the same issues so I would guess either lollipop on the watch has an issue or the latest android wear app.. rather than the watch itself if the 360 is doing the same.
And I don't think it did this when the Mrs first bought my watch and let me try it out prior to putting it away for xmas.
I had a good few hours playing with it to make sure it was working ok and what I wanted for my xmas present
This was before the updates to the app and watch firmware.
Had it been like it is now I think I would have sent it back...!
Hopefully it will get fixed after the New Year and everyone gets back to their jobs at Google..
Most of the functions still go to the "cloud" to work, so if you have any battery saving "features" enabled that restrict Google Play Service, then you'll likely to run into problems.
I've seen this problem also and it was caused by my flakey wifi connection or trying to make the watch do something while out of signal (like in an elevator). But that not the watch's fault...
You can try downloading the voice recognition offline, that could help, but it still neds internet to work properly. Uninstall all batery saving garbage (I have yet to see a working one) and try again.
Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you. I had that problem on 4.3 and upgraded to 4.4 thinking it would solve the issue. Changing bootloaders, roms, android versions didn't fix it until I reenabled background data.
I was rooted running jedi 4.3 rom when I got my g watch r. Switched to PAC ROM 4.4.4 and the prob was still there. It's all good now though. Good luck and hope you find a fix. I totally understand your frustration.

Hello everyone,
first I'm sorry for my english and hope you understand everything.
I'm using Android Auto since two years with the same smartphone a galaxy s8+ (Android 9) in my opel corsa e on an Intellilink R4.0 and most of the time it worked without any problems.
But since one week it didn't starts on the Intellilink.
The last systemupdate from my galaxy was something about four weeks ago and in the mean time everything worked fine.
Each time i connect my Smartphone as usual with the car the Android Auto App shuts down and in the smartphone notification it says that Android Auto is connectet but the Intellilink didn't starts Android Auto. It only offers me to change to my Galaxy s8+ but without any result. If i try to start the Android Auto App (while the smartphone is connected to the car and i tryed it once to change to the galaxy) the "Android Auto" app shuts down immediately.
I deleted the bluetooth-connection in my smartphone and in the car and reconnected both.
I deleted the cache & AppData from "AndroidAuto", "Google Play Service" and from the "Google App".
i deleted and reinstalled the Apps.
I also tryed to use two older versions from those Apps because i thought i updated them recently before it didn't worked anymore but without any success.
I tryed three different USB-cabels...
The data-transfer to my pc works so the USB-Port from the galaxy is okay. no one in my circle of friends has a Android Auto compatible car so i can't test it there.
Somewhere i could read that it could help to enable and disable the usb-debuggin in the devolopmentmode in the galaxy but it didn't helped.
Then i disconnected the Car Battery to make a Hardrest in the Intellilink and again no success.
Confusing was that last thursday on the way home, past 20min of connection and driving it suddenly started in my car and i could use everything as usually (Voice, Maps, Spotify).
But when i arrived home and disconnected the smartphone to try it once more it didn't started.
Till Today i didn't get it to work and i dont know what problem it could be or what else i can do.
The galaxy isn't rooted i don't want to root it.
Once i had a similar problem and some App updates fixed the problem so i'll wait for an update from "Android Auto", "Google-Play-Service" and the "Google App" to try it this way before resetting the galaxy to factory settings.
But I hope that someone can help me and has another idea what i can try to do.
with best regards

I have the same issue with my s9 on my astra. I might have a solution. Every time u connect your phone to your car and the after the notification in your phone comes saying android auto is connected go to photo gallery, search for any random video if u have in your app. Play it n hit back/return key on your phone. Yes its a bit of a struggle but mine one works every time i do this . Looks like a bug
