i recently switch phones from my Honor View10 to Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro 5G. The former phone is where i used to use and the first phone my Galaxy Watch ever paired with. However, when trying to set it up on my new phone (the Mi 10 Pro 5G), it just won't connect at all. i did went to the Watch's settings and select the "Connect to a new phone" option that wipes the data on the Watch. i tried several walk through i could ever see and think of, but to no avail. Here are what i have tried aside from the settings part:
- Manually pair the Watch via the Phone's Bluetooth - apparently the Watch did manage to pair, but just won't stay connected, it automatically disconnects immediately after connecting (see attached pic)
- Allowed all the Wear App and the Galaxy Watch Plugin's permissions on the Phone
- Factory Reset the Watch via the Recovery option
- Reflashed the Watch's firmware via this thread and sourced the missing firmware files from this thread
the Watch remains stuck on the "Check your phone to complete setup" screen for several days now, and i'm starting to get frustrated over this. Before reflashing the firmware, i tried to reconnect the watch to my old Honor View10 phone, and it no longer connects there too! same issue with Bluetooth connection dropping as soon as it connects.
help is very much appreciated.
Edit: somehow the attached files keep getting missing (404), so here's the imgur link for them: https://imgur.com/gallery/QOgPY0J

I seem to have a problem connecting my new 10.5" tab s to my Verizon note 3 via bluetooth. It shows that they are paired but when I click connect it acts like it will connect for about 3 seconds (it says connecting...) then just goes back to saying paired. The dude at the Samsung display in Best Buy claimed these 2 devices simply cannot connect through bluetooth which didn't seem right. Tonights?
What I've tried so far: obviously restarting both devices and completely unpairing them as well to no avail...

It isn't right. I have a Note 3 also but with Sprint. I don't have any problem connecting. I would assume it is not the carrier that is causing the problem. It is well known that the Samsung reps at BB know absolutely nothing about their products. I also assume you tried shutting BT off on both devices then re-activating them? Is NFC on on your note? If it is try shutting that off as the slate is not NFC capable and it may be interfering. Just some suggestions.
I have a Note 3 as well from sprint and haven't had an issue connecting via bluetooth. I'll take a look around to see if anyone else is having this issue. Hopefully you'll be able to resolve it.
I did a factory wipe on my phone thinking that may help but was unsuccessful. Those of you who are able to connect your phone and tab, can you use the Internet connection from the phone using bt on the tab?
Update number 2...I factory wiped the tablet too and still no luck. It automatically wants to connect for Internet access and if I have the tab connectrd to WiFi it says it can't connect to bluetooth for tethering if WiFi is connected. Turning off WiFi does nothing...
I have the ATT Note 3 and am able to connect to my Tab S with Bluetooth. On both devices it only says paired. The only time it said connecting is when I initially paired the two devices, once paired the "connecting" was replaced by "paired". I can't find anywhere it says connected yet I am able to send files back and forth between the two via Bluetooth. I don't use Bluetooth to tether so not sure if that is where it's supposed to say connected. Sorry if we're talking about two different things, just trying to help.

Well I feel stupid now haha. I can't connect to use Bluetooth for an Internet connection as I was attempting, but I can send and receive files to and from the tab and phone.
I am having problems keeping the watch connected to my phone. Android Wear will report it's connecting... then disconnect very quickly. It will repeat this cycle over and over. On the watch, it shows a little cloud icon with a slash thru it, pulling up Google Now reports the watch is disconnected.
My phone reports it is paired with the watch via bluetooth and the radio is turned on. I tried changing my wifi access to use my 5G radio instead of 2.4 but that didn't help. No other bluetooth devices are paired with my phone or with my watch. Phone is a Galaxy Note 2 running Android 4.4.2. Any suggestions that I can try?
I have this as well with my GS4.
are you having this issue when the phone is near you or like say across the house from you?
I got my watch yesterday.
Problem occured with out of the box firmware (4.4.4). I manage to reconnect and connect last enough to update to 5.0.2. ANd there I was hoping it will be good. But unfrontunately no. I still have the problem.
I have a galaxy note 4 (N910F) on Lollipop. I reset factory my phone and the watch. I have stil random disconnections. And when disconnected, It is hard to made the watch reconnect. Didn't have any problem with my LH watch R.
Kind of disappointed by the Moto 360 (a colleague with a one plus one and the same watch doesn't have such problems.
Really don't know mess things up.
What a burden to have to reset the watch each time we need to connect to a new mobile / reconnect to the current one.
They should have add an option to connect / disconnect
I'm running a Nexus 5 with the latest stock Android 5.0 Lollipop, and I just purchased a Motorola Keylink for the new trusted devices feature. Android doesn't connect to the Motorola Keylink on its own (even when manually going into the Bluetooth settings panel, it just doesn't see it), so you have to connect to the Keylink fob through the Motorola Connect app. Now, here's the problem: When you go out of range, or you turn the key fob on/off manually, the phone will NOT automatically reconnect to the Keylink fob until you manually open the Motorola Connect app. This completely destroys the functionality if you walk away from your keys. I'm running the latest Motorola Connect app, version 2.02.21-107.
Any ideas?
Did you fix this issue, I am experiencing the same problem, it appears like motorola responded to a review on google play saying to turn on the find my phone card, this setting can be found in the connect application, select the keylink device and it is an option in there.
Either of you figured this out yet? I'm having this same issue.

Hi guys,
i bought the secondhand sony smartwatch 3 today and i have a problem with connection
The phone does'nt detect the watch. when i am running Android Wear app and seek watches, phone doesn't detect my smartwatch.
i trying reset watch. not helped.
Please help.
Did you go through the Android Wear app's pairing process? After a factory reset the watch guides you through the steps on how to pair with your phone. Also check that the watch isn't paired as a regular bluetooth device first (forget the device in bluetooth settings of the phone before trying to setup via android wear)
You definitely need to factory reset the watch in order to begin the correct pairing sequence with your phone, if you haven't already done so.

I have a brand new 2017 Ford Raptor with Sync 3, version 3.0. I can easily connect my Samsung Note8 to it via Android Auto and it sees it immediately, connects just fine. If I unplug that device from the two USB connections, I try to connect another Android 7.0 Nougat device that is WiFi only to it, using a OBDII WiFi hotspot attached, and it connects to the internet just fine, but will not connect to the truck via Android Auto. The device is a DOOGEE BL5000, a Chinese Android device that does not have any US LTE bands, and I wanted to use a hotspot in the car to connect other devices to it on long trips anyways, so I paid $145 for an Android phone that I would use only with WiFi.
I've connected it with Bluetooth, done all the setup, and the screen shows BL5000 detected when plugging in, but absolutely will not connect to have THAT device use the Android Auto instead of my phone. My goal is to disable AA on the Note8 and have the BL5000 dedicated to AA duty while in the truck. I have tried FIVE different USB cables, two of which were factory Samsung cables, so they aren't the cheap ones, tried unplugging, plugging in, changing which USB connection type (charging / file transfer, PTP, etc), and nothing changes. The Note8 it set to just charging, so I can't imagine the setting is that important when it connects instantly. I have done a master reset on the Sync 3, had to start all over again with connections, trying the BL5000 again first without setting up the Note8, turning the truck on and off multiple times, it just won't connect.
It was said that Huawei devices for some reason won't connect to AA, don't know why or what the logic is behind that, but am I screwed with this DOOGEE BL5000? I wanted something with at least 4GB of RAM and wiping / disabling everything else but AA, Maps, Music off of it in order for it to work solely as a processor for AA that I can remove and replace, but this is becoming a headache all in and of itself.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Hello
I'm in the UK experiencing the same problem with my new Doogee and Sync 3.
Did you get any where with this issue please
Thank you

Yes and no. The Doogee would never connect, so I was refunded the purchase on PayPal because this was all I needed the device for, the seller did not respond so I got to keep the device. I since purchased a Moto G4 unlocked and it connects perfectly, immediately, and put a SIM card in it to run directly from the device instead of through WiFi only, makes Android Auto boot time much faster this way. Hope that helps!
Thanks for your very prompt reply. Glad you managed to get a solution in the end.
I previously tried a Cubot Cheetah 2 with my car to no avail. What's interesting is that my old Samsung J5 works with AA. You'd think a phone with android 7.0 would work.
Thank you again
Richard
