Reliable way to back up smartwatch settings? - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys. Have any of you found a reliable way to back up smart watch settings? As it is now, I have to re-sync my smartwatch every time I flash a new ROM. I'm using a Moto 360 2nd gen.
I usually use Tibu to back up everything but it doesn't seem to work to back up my Bluetooth settings. I have tried selecting to back up the Bluetooth pairings but when I restore it doesn't work.
Any help is greatly appreciated

A bluetooth pairing takes 30 seconds.

Yes but you must then factory re-set the watch to pair it with the phone as it does not recognize it after a format. I feel the OP's pain I've had to factory re-set my Urbane about 6 times now between my old LG and now my new 6P.

Ya, I don't know why Tibu doesn't reliably back up and restore Bluetooth settings. Hopefully somebody will chime in as I'm about to flash a new ROM soon...lol

No, there's no way. You need to reset the watch each time.

Bluetooth switching off, stock phone

Hi all, I wonder if any of you have seen issues with bluetooth turning off? It seems random, it will stay on all morning on my desk at work, I go out to the car and it turns off. I've even had it turn off in the middle of a conversation (via bluetooth) in my car.
Any places I can check for stuff that has permissions to BT or anything like that?
I can wipe it but I'd rather not.
Anyway thanks for your time.

I have the same issue and after looking extensively for a solution, I found out that this is a problem with the Nexus 6P - many, many, users have had this issue. I have tried to wipe the cache partition, delete all pairings and even a factory reset but nothing had resolved the issue.

Ahh, bloody thing eh?
OK mate, thank you very much. I'll try one of those tasker type apps that will be set to keep the BT on.
Thanks mate.

Bluetooth toggle

Hey there everyone, I have a 16 GB version in my pocket and i'm using it for 10 months, from yesterday my bluetooth toggle just have been stocked. it doesn't turn on anymore, and I'm always on my bluetooth headphones so it is on my nerves badly...i tried 3rd party apps to turn the bluetooth on, but they just stop at "turning bluetooth on" and nothing changes. i've reset network setting and nothing changed, i used to turn on safe mode and still the same problem. Is there any way to fix it out rather than factory reset? or anyone is sure that a factory reset would fix it?
my phone is not rooted. and is on nougat.
thanks

You can try to clear cache within stock recovery.
Nothing changes with cache clearance....

Bluetooth issues after Oreo Update

So I seem to be having issues with bluetooth. Most of the BT devices work, but my TomTom Raider 400 does not seem to want to work.
I was able to pair it to the device, but thats all I get, the TomTom says it won't connect or anything, It was working great nougat now it does not work anymore. I cleared out all network settings, still no go.
Anyone having issues with devices that perhaps require data? anyone have any ideas?

I'm having similar BT problems since the update. Sometimes my car doesn't connect. Quite often my Gear S3 disconnects when the phone is still well within range. My Sat Nav will only connect via BT if I search for it. There is definitely a glitch but I haven't found a fix

Same issues here, with Tomtom GO 510 and with asus Chromebook too (via Bluetooth only)
I've updated to CRC7 today using the SD card update method described here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3746561
The BT is much more stable this afternoon and a persistent problem that I had with my home Wi-Fi seems to be gone too. Early days, but it does seem better [emoji106]

I updated to Oreo 8.0 on my S8 today and have had bluetooth connectivity issues ever since. Listening to music in the car, it will randomly drop connection. Also, some track information is no longer showing on the headunit (the playback time and the overall song length). Everything worked perfect before update. Seems to have been a known problem that may have been addressed with the 8.1 update on Pixel and Nexus phones. Unfortunately my carrier (ATT) just rolled out the 8.0 update today for my S8. I'm at a loss for what to do.
It's failing left and right.
I turn it on and it turns off apprx 1 min later.
I turn it back on and it does the same thing (each time).
removing and re-setting up everything fails.
rebooting fails (same as turning on and off)
safe mode does not help.
So far, Oreo has made Bluetooth useless on my S8

After Oreo update my S8's BT became spotty working 20% of the time on calls in the car. So i searched & read that resetting network connections would do the trick. It wasn't under connections->more settings - instead i found it in about phone-at the bottom under Looking for something else-> Reset->Reset Network Settings . Yehey i found it & reset my network settings!
Now my BT won't turn ON! From 20% to 0% function!!!
What a what!
Fix this Samsung!

Same issue here. My S8+ was rock solid on Nougat, but since the update to Oreo yesterday my Bluetooth does not connect 19 out of 20 tries in my car. I factory reset my phone thinking it may have been an issue with the update process, but that did nothing to fix the issue. I really need a solution as I need to talk while in my car.
Haven't tried using Bluetooth on anything else, but my phone stays consistently connected to my Gear watch.
Anyone have any solutions to this? I'm experiencing the same issues. Won't connect consistently with my gear s2, drops certain speakers all the time, although it seems to stay connected more consistently to my car. Really frustrating and don't want to wait for the glacial pace of Verizon update rollouts.

Did you do a fresh install ( download, install, clear cache, wipe phone, rebuild or restore backup) or just install the update and go from there?

I just installed the update, but up the thread above several people say that factory reset didn't fix this issue for them.
It won't make a difference. I factory reset my phone after the update to Oreo and reconfigured everything from scratch, no restore, and it made no difference. My Bluetooth still does not work with my car. It works with my Pebble, my Sony Bluetooth headset, and a Marley speaker with no issues. Why is it that only my car fails? It is the most important one.
I am having the same issue when listening to music with Bluetooth in my car. The music gets choppy and does not play back the way it should. I have been looking everywhere online for a fix and I haven't come up with anything. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Same issue with Sony XAV-68BT headunit. Music plays through Bluetooth, then drops rendomly, then manually have to reconnect. Very distracting while driving. Phone calls do not seem to be affected though, so... There's another little tidbit.
Actually I did notice the other day that my Gear Sport was on standalone mode instead of Bluetooth, so I was missing texts from people. Really annoying. Samsung better address this.. going to take ages for Verizon to get the update though, I'm sure.
Any chance that the Bluetooth apk file for the Galaxy S9 would work on our phones? Maybe it would help?
I'm having similar issues here too. I was on Nougat with zero problems. Did an OTA update to Oreo and suddenly my Kenwood car stereo keeps losing bluetooth connectdion. Used ODIN to flash back to Nougat and it's rock solid. Decided to flash Oreo instead of doing it OTA, and suddenly the bluetooth is flakey again. Flashed back to Nougat, and it's rock solid. I've also tried factory resetting and reconfiguring the car stereo, did a factory reset of the Galaxy S8, cleared the cache, and nothing works. The only way of getting Bluetooth to maintain a connection to the car stereo is to be on Nougat.
Interestingly though, I have no problems with my Gear S3 maintaining a bluetooth connection.
It appears it's only some devices that have the issue. I don't hold out much hope that Samsung will fix it though. Weren't people complaining about the same thing during the betas?
I guess this can solve your problems too, I had an issue since the oreo update, cant select anything but SBC reverting to default, even with the level u app not showing UHQ, I started a chat with samsungs members app and they told me that is an error in the update, not all devices are presenting this problem. well, the solution: 1. back up your data with smartswitch app(I backed up with a sd card, 10Gb info) if you have whatsapp do a chat backup because they dont backup with smartswitch. 2. delete your samsung and google account. 3. Do a hard reset(witch the phone powered off press volume+, bixby and power, until you see the recovery menu), wiping cache and then wipe data/factory reset(move trough the menu with volume+- and select with power). 4. start the phone and add your google and samsung account, then restore your data with smarwitch app. this will let you select the BT codec again.
worked for me and the bluetooth conection is more stable

February update is out

Seems that we may have that memory leak solved
Yes, must have bug fix as 330Mb download. Updated, all good (no mods)
Is the haptic feedback on opening recents menu new? Or just stronger than before?
Is there a setting I'm not seeing to change it?

Anyone else's Bluetooth totally screwed up after update? After update, Bluetooth turns on by itself, won't add new devices, and won't auto connect to devices?

Mine has been pretty flaky as well. It seems to connect most of the time, but if I call with my android auto head unit, even though it says it's using bluetooth, the sound still comes out of the speakers. Sometimes a toggle of the bluetooth switch fixes it, sometimes it needs a reboot. I may factory reset and see if it clears up.

I don't have problem with the Bluetooth.
Using my Sony ch700n without a problem..
Mmm... I'll be waiting for more feedback before applying the update. Hope it's just specific issue with device because I use BT every day...
Still haven't been able to fix Bluetooth issues. First I reset all the network settings. Not fixed. Then I factory reset without restore. No fix. Finally factory reset with restore. No fix. Contacted support last night with no answer yet. Will have to resort to back up phone until there is a solution.

Nope, all good here. How did you take the update, ota or fastboot?
At this point my Bluetooth is behaving normally. All though I never have had any of the previous Bluetooth or wifi issues people have posted about. Totally stock locked bootloader with February update.
As of this Monday Miracast on my PH-1 is totally flakey. Since it uses Bluetooth I guess this is part of the update bug. The problem I'm getting is casting crapping out, for no reason, rotating the phone, or just launching the app that I want to cast. Any possible fixes?

I can't get my PH1 to connect via BT to my Pioneer A.A H/U at all...... not sure what the issue is.
I factory reset and still having issues as well, I'm completely stock with locked bootloader. Only real Bluetooth issue I have is phone calls going through my phone speakers even though it says it's using Bluetooth, audio for music and podcasts is fine. Very strange

I'm kind of wondering if it has something to do with my Wear OS watch being connected. May have to disable it for a day and see if it makes a difference. Worked perfectly before the update though.
Edit: I played a little. If I turn off Bluetooth on my watch, then pair with my Bluetooth headphones calls work normally, if I connect to the buds while connected to the watch, no-go. Very odd as well is that the watch won't connect then while connected to the buds, once I disconnect them, it connects fine. I'll try with my truck at lunch and see if I can repeat this there.
mine seems do not have the Bluetooth issue.
new update seem to be more aggressive on turning off nfc . in the past, i do not have to wake on phone to 'tap' (as a smart card) on chargepoint ev charger. now i have to at least wake up phone to do so.
i noticed on essential website. the OTA file for February is only Open Market. the others have said Alll. Whats the difference anyone know.
After I have installing the update patch, the usage of battery is a bit faster than before. The sot drop from 4 hours to 2 and a half hours. Is there getting The same issue?

OP8 Pro is not able to connect to my WearOS watch (Fossil Sport)

Hey guys, I have a new OP8 Pro and tried to connect it to my Fossil Sport smartwatch. The problem is that I am not even able to connect it. I did a factory reset on my watch and started the linking process in the wearOS app. Everything works fine until I select the my watch to connect. My phone asks me the check the code (it matches to the one on my watch) and after pressing pair, the phone continues with the process but the watch keeps telling me that my phone wants to connect and shows me the bt connect code. After 1/6 of the "getting informations from your watch" the app doesnt do sh*t anymore. I noticed that that the bt connection to my watch is disconnecting and connecting again and again but doesnt stay connected.
My troubleshooting is exactly Pike this redet post: https://amp.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/f20lxm/oneplus_7t_and_fossil_sport_not_connecting_help/
Unfortunely there isnt a solution to the problem. So maybe here is someone who had the same issue
I tried connecting my watch to another phone and it works perfectly so it is definitely a problem with my OP8.
Glad about any help. Thanks a lot!
Greetings

I use a Fossil Sport, and had this same issue when I originally set mine up. I wish I had a better answer, but I just tried and tried again until it worked. Between each attempt I cleared everything I could think of. Reset the watch, cleared google play services cache, cleared wear os app cache, reinstalled the wear os app, manually removed the watch from bluetooth settings, reset network settings, I'm probably forgetting some things, but it did eventually connect. Frustrating, and I'm sorry I don't remember exactly what fixed it, but the good news is it will eventually work.
I don't have a sport but I have a gen 5 and there was no issue and I have had to reset and reconnect a couple times.
Best of luck!
I have a gen 5 and the devices are connect because i receive the notify but on the top of the smartwatch there is the cloud of the no connection... I think therr are some problem with the bluetooth of this phone

Thank you very mich for the reply. I've already done that at least 20 times, but at least there is hope that it will eventually work one time/day. Really frustrating and I hope they will fix this soon so when I have to reset my phone someday I will at least not have this problem again. :silly:
Okay guys it finally worked. Im not sure why, didnt do anything else but reinstalling, deleting chache and data of WearOS and Google play Services and resetting my watch. I can only imagine that it was because the languages of my phone and my watch didnt match. My phone is in english and I set my watch to german. It worked when I set up my watch in english (GB). I really dont know if that really was the solution or if it was just luck this time because i tried english (US) before that and it didnt work. So to anyone who is having the same problem I hope I can help you with this and hang on... I'll work sometime
