Android wear app not working properly with Sony Smartwatch 2 - Sony Smartwatch 2

So the problem is that the Android wear app will only connect with the watch when the watch is reset. After that it will try to update the watch but will take hours to do so then will time out and disconnect stopping the update. The watch runs fine on the Sony smart connect but the Android app will continuously try to connect with the watch with no success unless I reset the watch as said before.
Is there any solution to this or something I am missing?

you mean Smartwatch 2 app and not Android Wear App, right ?

(Wear app is for SW3)

Well no but does this mean that the android wear app wont actually work because it is not compatible with the Sony smartwatch 2 in the first place?

Off course. SW2 doesn't work with Android wear.

Yes, SW2 is not an Android Wear Watch, it is a special Sony OS made.
SW3 is an Android Wear Watch

Oh.. I didn't know that.. well that fixes that haha! Thanks!

I see, I was not aware of that. Thanks for your help!

[Q] Watch not recognizing notifications even after reset

I've had the moto 360 since launch. It is connected to my Rooted HTC m8. I've never had any problems at all with notifications coming but something wear must have happened yesterday. It got stuck on a text message reply using 8sms and now no notifications are going through. I've reset the watch, tried disconnecting, connecting. It connects perfectly, all my apps are there, wear mini launcher, wear messenger, all are there. But if I try getting notifications it doesn't work and and when I test pandora or spotify, it knew a music player app was running, but only the play button would show up and none of the buttons pressed performed any action.
fyi i've never altered the moto 360 in any way.
My next steps:
Delete the android wear app.
Completely unpair and forget the bluetooth connection
Reset moto 360
redownload android wear
test
rinse and repeat

My steps did the trick. That was odd. I think the key was deleting android wear app and the original bluetooth connection

New Body app and Watch faces not working

I've updated to the new Connect app, and the app on the phone works fine, but none of the new features will sync to the watch. I've tried restarting the watch, resetting the watch, uninstalling and reinstalling both Android Wear and the update to the Connect app (on a Moto X, so I can't fully uninstall Connect).
Anybody seeing this? Maybe I need to do all that in a particular order?
I am having the exact same issue. Using a Moto X 2014. The app updated and works on thr phone but none of the new features will sync
In the same boat as well...
Same with me. Running lg g3. I've read the issue is the phone that your 360 is connected with. Some people paired their 360 with a different phone and then the new watch faces finally appeared. But once they would try to pair their 360 back to their current phone, the watch faces would still not show.
No problem here on my Nexus 5
you won't see anything different on the phone after the motorola connect update in terms of the Body app. However, if you go into the start menu on the watch itself, you should see moto body features such as calories, steps, heart activity, and heart rate. hope this is helpful.
Won't work on my S4 either, tried everything. Bummer!!!
Works fine with my s4. Try restarting phone?
ditto
Same issue on my moto x 2013. Can't do anything to get them to show up. Done everything short of a hard reset on the phone
same here, nexus 5 on lollipop
I had the same problem. I use it with my Nexus 5 running an AOSP Lollipop Build.
Solved it by uninstalling the Motorola Connect App and reinstalling. After that everything new appeared on the 360.
Hope this helps :good:

Moto360 apps not syncing from Nexus 6 android wear app to Moto 360

Updated nexus 6 yesterday to 5.1. Now the problem is that when I hit sync apps in android wear app, none of them are going to watch and my only options in watch are the stock watch faces. Did a reset of 360 2xs, re synced android wear app and bluetooth to watch. They are connected as I am getting all the notifications through the 360 but all the watch face apps are not syncing to watch. I forced stopped android wear, cleared cache and data, reset the 360 and resynced to nexus 6 but nothing. For the life of me can not get any of the watch face apps to show in the watch to select from, for example facer and watchmaker do not show in watch.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to know, as well. I am having the same problem with my LG G R
I have found that after a reset of the watch and clearing out the data on the android wear app, repairing to the watch and just waiting a little while it does it. It takes a few minutes sometimes to transfer all the data via BT I'm assuming.
YMMV

Android wear app not showing the Watch Faces tab

Hello everyone,
I was not having this problem until yesterday. Whichever watch face I purchase and download, or a free watch face , it is not showing in the android wear app. I have tried this with many different watch faces which earlier used to show. Also when I open the android wear app on my phone, clicking on the more button doesn't take me to the watch faces section but takes me to the play store for some reason. Earlier, clicking more used to take me to the watch faces section and it used to be very easy from there. I'm attaching a screenshot of the android wear app on my phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Good day
Hello,
You should maybe try clearing the cache and data from the Android Wear app on your phone, and reboot both your phone and your watch. Check out if that changes anything.

If you are using watchmaker or facer, you need to switch to that in android wear on the phone first, then pick a watch face
Hi guys
I did a factory reset on the watch and it worked fine. Thank you for your inputs.
Cheers

Fix for watch crashing on newest android wear update and how to get mashmallow

My watch was on:
Android Wear version - 1.3.0.2166028
Play Services = 7.8.99
Android OS = 5.1.1
As you can see it was stuck on the old version of Google play services for some reason 7.8.99 for some reason. This is a software glitch that my watch had but my girls moto 360 was just fine.
My watch would glitch out and crash many times a day.
It is the newest update to the android wear app that does not like google play services 7.8.99. Nothing i did could force an update so i had to revert to an earlier version of android wear app and the watch worked just fine.
What finally fixed my watch was the update to 6.0.1 that happened for my watch last night. These are the steps to take to make it happen smoothly.
1: With the newest version of android wear on the phone do a factory reset to your watch.
2: Place the watch on the charger and go through watch setup.
3: Once done syncing take the watch off the charger and connect it to your home wifi. Then go into setting and check for an update.
If no update repeat steps 1-3
4: If the update starts downloading go into the android wear app and disconnect the watch. Turn off bluetooth as well just incase.
(This is because it is the app itself that causes the phone to crash. The watch will then hook up to wifi and finish the download...it will also be faster)
5: Put watch on charger wait a while and the download should be ready. Make sure it is over 80% and start update. I recommend keeping it on the charger.
After its done you should be all good to go. All versions should be up to date. Mine is running great!
Hope this helps everyone!
Doesn't work for me. Tried three times.
I have a different one here, all good but for the android wear app keep crashing while scrolling down in 'watch storage' after the 6.0.1 update.
Factory reset watch, cleaning app cache didn't help.

forget and reset watch. leave the watch on the charger and let it sync everything. it can take a very long time. i recommend doing it while you sleep. just let it sit and it should be fine
No, still doesn't see it.
