Pairing mode? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you put the Gear Live in pairing mode? I am trying to pair my watch to a different phone and it won't come up in the bluetooth search on the second phone.

Found the answer, you have to factory reset the watch to pair to new phone. This sucks because I lose all my step history

No way, there must be another way. I have the G watch and I can just switch phones on the fly. On the other hand you have the Samsung watch. I had the gear 1 before and with that watch I also had to reset it (actually it did it automatically but whatever). It would suck if Samsung did this again..

This is in the help menu in the wear app

Hm, well I tried with my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 and it worked without resetting. But I have the same apps installed so that might be why. Maybe it resets but I don't notice it.
Edit: Just tried again and it seems you're right. My step count also always resets. That sucks. Luckily I plan with sticking with my Nexus 5 anyway.

7 edge and smartwatch 3

I am really hoping someone here can help me.
Ive been into a sony shop to be met by blank faces and now today an o2 guru who i let keep my watch and phone for 5 hours also couldnt do it.
I have an s7 edge and a sony smartwatch 3, all im trying to do is put music on the watch so i can go running.
Ive read blogs and tutorials and none of it works, half of what they say to do doesnt even seem to be on my watch or phone!
I just need some hands on help.
My watch will connect to my phone thru android wear but when i look for it in play music i get nothing, no sync etc, when i look under manage authorised devices, there is nothing there.
Please can anyone help!!!

i do indeed. that was one of the first things i turned on, but my device still doesnt show as an authorised device
Try this (if you didn't so already):
- restore the watch to factory settings
- on the S7E run the Android Wear app and pair the watch within that app. Don't use the phone Bluetooth app for pairing the watch!

The Clipboard size small all of a sudden?

Basically I restarted my phone for the first time in probably 2 weeks and all of a sudden I notice that when I use the Clipboard the size is much more smaller than it was before. Anyone know how to fix it?

A little late but put your S8 in Safe Mode. That will fix it and it will persist through a normal boot after that.

Haha yeah it's a bit late, but thanks anyway. I actually managed to fix it not long ago by switching to the stock keyboard then back to the Swift keyboard.

Well that probably works a lot better and doesn't reset any theme settings. I'll have to remember that one next time.

Why bluetooth always start in discovery mode?

Hello, why when I start bluetooth in my Galaxy S8, it always start in discovery mode?
I really like to start bluetooth and only connect to paired device, and not else!
Also I like to don't have a notify like this to tap for stop the discovery mode, I think it's very annoying and needless!
Is there a solution or a mod, to solve this issue?
Complained that to Samsung last year and got the following response:
"This message is a built in systems notification that cannot be turned off."
And yes, my sentiments are exactly the same - completely useless and annoying.

Camera Fatal Error Stock Android 9

Just bought the phone brand new yesterday and the camera doesn't open YouTube won't load at all either. Very annoying to say the least may exchange today at Best Buy or switch to something else entirely.

Have you tried updating the software?
Yeah the software was up to date I even reflashed the factory image. Good news is I exchanged it at Best Buy last night and the new one is working great
