Pebble 26A1 and apps on watch with issues - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm using the model of watch you have on subject but since I moved to new version of Pebble on my phone I have some problems with Pbl Camera, Toggles and Pebble dialer.
The firmware version is 3.12.1 just upgraded but I still have these issues.
If you try to reinstall the apps on watch at beginning they work fine but not for a long time.
With old version of Pebble in phone I didn't have these issues.
Do you know how can I fix them??
Thanks!!

[Q] Not able to discover moto360

Hi team,
I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo(SM-N750) INU(Indian version) running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat Stock ROM.
Currently my moto360 is not able to discover from Bluetooth but the watch is working fine with other phone.
This issue is occurred after I paired my pebble with the phone and installed pebble software.
I uninstalled and pebble software and rebooted the phone / watch many time and tried , no luck .
Tried reinstalling the moto connect and Android wear on phone.
I noticed both pebble and moto360 wont work together , there was an issue connecting pebble(watch not discovered from Bluetooth) when I first install the moto360. There moto360 work but not pebble now pebble is working but not moto360.
Can you guys help me how to resolve this ? I believe the phone factory reset will resolve but any alternate solution to this?
Currently I would like to connect my moto360 only and I really appreciate if you help on this & is any option to work both pebble and Android wear together?.

You should try to factory reset your watch, not your phone. Connect your watch like is brand new. Do the same with your pebble after everything is ok with moto.
Also you should delete cache and data from your pebble watch apk.
Hi Calinormy,
Thank you very much for your prompt support.
Now My Moto360 connected and working fine after the watch reset.
I tried a factory reset with my pebble and installed pebble app on my phone.
Now moto works fine but pebble is not able to discover.
I think both watches wont work together and I believe If i uninstall Android wear and moto connect from phone(clear the cache too) then probably pebble will work but not moto.
Anyhow this helps and many thanks to Calinormy.

Downgrade Note 3 SM-N9005 from Android 5.0 to 4.4.4

After Android 5.0 upgrade my Note 3 has many bluetooth problems that stops me from using my smartwatches (Moto 360 and Pebble Time). Frequent dropped connection on bluetooth, both moto 360 and pebble can`t connect, i have problems with my car stereo, and sometimes when i push the back or home button on an app, nothing happens. Tried everything, wipe cache, phone reset, deleted cache from the Bluetooth and Bluetooth test app, factory reset the pebble and moto 360, no luck.
Android 5.0 is a big mess and i can`t use my bluetooth devices, that worked perfect on Android 4.4.4.
My phone is still in warranty, i have never done root on it, only installed stock updates, OTA, from Samsung.
I want now to downgrade back to Android 4.4.4 stock with ODIN. I want to download stock Android 4.4.4 for my Samsung Note 3 and flash it with ODIN. Can i do that?
Please help, Android 5.0 messed up my phone.
It's better to do a reset after every OTA update...
I personally feel the performance never goes down if I do a reset after update...
And I'm using my Moto 360 with my Aryamod Lollipop Note 3 (had no issues with stock Lollipop as well for 6 months)

I tried delete cache from Bluetooth and Bluetooth Test apps, factory reset from phone settings, reseted my watches Moto 360 and Pebble Time, deleted all paired bluetooth devices and paired again. Still connections are dropped, android wear says moto 360 is connected but watch is not, the same with Pebble drops connections, unable to connect, it ask for some bluetooth key, sometimes the pairing is gone by it self and i have to repair, etc., just a nightmare. Moto 360 and my car stereo worked perfect on Android 4.4. The Pebble Time is 3 days old, never worked fine on Android 5.0.
Now i did a full reset (wipe data) by restarting the phone into Recovery Mode. Contacted Samsung and i`m waiting for a reply.
I downloaded stock Android 4.4.2 from sammobile for my Note 3 LTE. If i can`t find a fix for bluetooth issues i will use ODIN and flash back the stock Android 4.4.2 ROM...
I can not believe that Samsung and Android will push out this update terrible. On the Pebble forums i see lots of users complaining about Android 5 ruined their bluetooth connections.
Just downgraded my Note 3 to Android 4.4.2 this morning. So far my Pebble Time works like a dream, no more dropped connection, no more unable cu connect, all bluetooth issues are gone.
Because i never rooted my Note 3 and downgraded to stock firmware, the downgrade process was pretty simple using ODIN, just uncheck F.reset.
great then!

great then.. I believe there were no great features to miss Lollipop... other than the fact that Touchwiz looked better...
the biggest feature I would miss is Trusted device, so the Pebble can keep my phone unlocked and I don't need to type the PIN every time. Also S View cover issues are resolved with Android 5. So I am really not happy to downgrade. Did anybody receive any official statement from Pebble or Samsung where is the problem and when we can expect it to be resolved? There are several threads around like
sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27542
or
forums.getpebble.com/discussion/26926/bluetooth-connectivity-issue-after-android-5-0-update
but no statement
I own two smartwatches, Motorola Moto 360 and Pebble Time, and both not working on Android 5.0, but are working fine on Android 4.4.2. This is not Pebble fault. I had problems even with my car stereo with Android 5.0 , and now, after downgrade, all are working fine. My Pebble is connected for 2 days now, with no disconnect
I do like Android 5.0 and i like to keep my devices up to date, but i need bluetooth connection to work with all my devices.

hey i just want to knw which firmware 4.4.2 u flashed ? and did u use LTE on 4.4.2 rom .... ?
my note 3 model is SM-N9005 and is the LTE version. I did use the last firmware available here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9005/ROM/
L POF3 sol ce BT problems for most users......
There was OTA update last days that has resolved the bluetooth problems! Connection to Pebble is now stable!
yeah, switched to iphone 6 now. Samsung said they don't care if my watch is not working, they guarantee connections only with gear devices.

Paired with Gear S:

Ordered the 6P last night, who knows when it will arrive. Wanted to see if anyone has paired a Gear S with the device to see how it works, what features don't work, etc. I currently have a Gear S paired with my Galaxy Note Edge.
I would like to know this as well. I have my 6P, and I am thinking about buying the Gear S.
I kind of got it working. Issue: if it's connected via bluetooth to your phone, any incoming calls you answer are through the watch (although incoming calls display on both devices). So, for now, I have bluetooth turned off. Since the watch has its own number, that's the only way to receive/make calls if you're not connected to your phone. I'm trying an SMS forwarding app so that text messages go to the watch as well as the phone, however the text shown on the watch comes from your phone's number, not who originally sent the text. Basically, I have the watch as a stand-alone device. The Gear Manager app doesn't work although you can get it installed on the phone..........just doesn't find the watch. There's a way to get your watch past the screen that says "use the Gear App to connect". On that screen you see an icon of the watch, tap on that about 25 or so times until you see the bluetooth message, afterwards, press and hold that watch icon until the next message appears and you're ready to go.
Question for anybody using any of the other ROMs, will the Gear S work with any of the rooted custom roms?

Were you able to have it working prior to rooting?

I'm on a stock, bootloader locked 6P and have a Gear S2 working perfectly with it. However, there's a caveat. When I first got the watch, it pairs up just fine, but there's an update that you're prompted to take but can't because the phone is encrypted. What you need to do in that case is pair it with a phone that's on the Gear S2 supported list (http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/), in my case a Nexus 6 that's stock and encrypted, take the update, then reset the watch and pair it with the 6P again. If you don't have this update, any time the watch and 6P become disconnected, whether because they're out of range of each other or because you intentionally disconnect them, you have to reset the watch and pair it again. After this update, that's fixed.
It seems odd because both the 6P and Nexus 6 I have are encrypted, but because the Nexus 6 is on the list of compatible devices, it works while the 6P has the connection issue without this update. But simply pairing the watch with any of the phones on the compatibility list above, taking the update, then resetting the watch and pairing it with the 6P again fixes this.
Other than that issue, the Gear S2 works flawlessly? Receives notifications for email, text, calendar reminders, phone calls, etc.?
Would pairing it to my son's Galaxy S4 receive the Gear S2 update?
I tried the workaround in the Gear S forum, and couldn't get it to work. I wonder if Gear Manager needs to be updated for 6.0?
If there isn't a fix soon, I will probably sell my Gear S.
The Gear Manager app was updated for Android 6.0., but appears they only have it working for the Gear S2, not the Gear S.

As far as I'm aware, the gear s is only designed to work with galaxy devices. I had the gear s2 & had nothing but problems with it. The disconnect>reset bug did my head in. Wasn't worth the hassle in the end. Got rid of it to a mate who has a Samsung phone & bought the Sony smartwatch 3 instead. I'm happy, he's happy. Everybody's happy.
Does the Sony Smartwatch 3 have a speaker?

LEMFO LEM5 alternative phone app?

Hi all.. if i've understood, with pairing function (Bluetooth connection with smartphone) i can ONLY READ messages like whatsapp, sms, wechat, etc... but ONLY if i've one message to read (from 2nd message only appear 2 messages.. 3 messages.. 4 messages.. etc) right?
I hope i've misunderstood.. is this a joke? Why should I buy it? This device is useful only for people that have 2nd SIM, just for don't use 2 smartphone or double SIM device.
Does anyone know if this problem can be solved using a phone app more tweaked, with more function?
Furthermore does anyone know if this smartwatch is compatible with my Samsung S7 Edge?
Thanx at all.
No, you are correct in the most part. This is a standalone watch phone. Not designed to be a companion device at all.
However, I hear that the app M2D works well for pairing with a phone.
Also a version of tablet talk....
Cheers.

Ok man.. M2D is the alternative that i was searching. But why produce a device with big hw and little sw? This device is more powerfull than most famous brands, but it has 50% of their sw function!
Why don't spend 5 minutes to implement a BT manager with send/reciever function? Bah... this is chinese mistery!
Ok.. now i only need to know if the Lem5 is compatibile with my Galaxy S7 Edge.. if this isn't a problem i will buy the device.
In the past, i've only used my own ROMs on my devices, from HTC Tytn II until Galaxy S4... if i've a bit of time, i will try to "port" my old habits on my new smartwatch..

Gear S3 and Pie rom

Hi, does anybody knows any custom rom based on ported Pie rom that is working with Samsung Gear S3 (Classic). So far I have tried 4 or 5 most popular versions and it is not working with anyone. It is mostly stuck with pairing or connecting.
Thanks.

if you get stuck pairing or connecting, uninstall the wear app on the phone and its helper app. go to the watch and select "connect to a new phone", while its resetting, reinstall the wear apps and start again. The watches can get finicky, and the process i described is the fix, sometimes itll need to be repeated. No need to change the roms for now, i cant imagine the devs effed up the smart watch availability. I ran MOAR with a Gear 2 Neo for years and it was fine
