Hello @Luchoc and @ronaldheld!
Please, can you tell me if you are using official G-Shock+ application?
Are you using this one?
Not all the services available for GB-6900 will be available for GB-5900.
I'm glad that Casio Watcher can be tested with this current Casio watches (I own a GB-X6900B):
Casio GB-5600
Casio GB-6900
Casio GB-X6900

Casio Watcher 0.1 instructions
Casio Watcher 0.1 Instructions
From now... Casio Watcher is "CW".
This 0.1 version only will demonstrate connectivity and alert notification to the watch.
IMPORTANT: You have to shutdown the official Casio G-Shock+ application (kill the process). It's not necessary to uninstall it. Kill it if it's running.
You know that Casio have several problems to implement connectivity. With the official application it's a pain to pair watch and phone. I found this is a watch firmware problem. I tested several BLE devices and connection rocks at first try! Casio do not! With the same phone software. I mean that CW will not do it better. It will do what Casio's Watch firmware allows us
Let's go with the test:
1. Shutdown official Casio G-Shock+ application (if not, CW and official app will collide).
2. Install "Casio Watcher 0.1 apk".
3. Run "Casio Watcher".
4. Now you will be in the "G-Shock BLE" section. CW is scanning for Bluetooth 4.0 capable devices. When it is scanning, you can see "STOP" button upper rigth. CW will scan for 10 seconds.
5. In the watch, start bluetooth holding down the B button for about two seconds until the connecting screen appears (rag doll trying to connect )
6. Now, in the CW screen appears your watch (model and addres).
7. Click in your watch section.
8. If you have not already paired and connected before using Casio G-Shock+ official app, Android will ask you to pair the watch and the phone.
9. When you click in your watch, "Watch Manager" screen will appear. When clicking... a connection attempt is made. You will see two important labels: Status and Services. Status points out if the connection has been made. Services will show you if a Casio watch has been connected. If you try to connect to a FitBit One bluetooth 4.0 device, connection status is "Connected" but Services will be "Unavailable".
10. THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT: Here comes the problems connecting with the watch. If you see "Disconnected" status for 2 or 3 seconds, the Watch closed the connection. So go back to the "Discover" screen again (back button is upper left in the screen). Now, go to step 4 again. You have to repeat steps 4 to 10 till "Connected" status and "Available" services appear.
Every time you go back and click your watch model on the phone screen, a single connection is stablished. If it is broken, try it again, and again, and again. Do not wait in the "Watch Manager" screen because no reconnection is made. Casio do it for you but hides user control over the connection. I prefer to turn back 3 times in 10 seconds to wait eternally till the official app connects!!
11. IMPORTANT: If you are a lucky man and "Connected" status and "Available" services appear, please wait till you phone shows the fixed bluetooth simbol and the dancing doll desapears!
12. Once you are connected and the watch seems to be connected too (fixed bluetooth simbol)... let's try the sample call notification. Click "ALERT" button. In 1 second you will receive a call notification in your watch saying the caller is "Casio Watcher".
13. EXTRA TEST: If you connected watch and device, please, test the reconnection!!!! go away without your phone and come back again...
And that's all!!! CW can discover if your phone supports BLE (bluetooth 4.0) connections, starts your phones bluetooth in case it's off... oh, and it have an "About" screen!! lol
I send the apk to the people who requested me. You are free to send your friends this apk but I want to control a supported environment matrix (Operating system, device, watch model...).
And remember... it's not a professional and final application, it can crash, it can lack... feel free to tell me all the abnormal things you see and functional requeriments you wish.

Yes I am using the g shock+ app with my 5600b.
Where is your software located?

Yes! I'm using that very application. I'm aware not every service will be available for our 5600, since it lacks things such as music controls and so on. I'll try your app straight away

Did you received a private message in your xda-developers account? In this message you will find a link to a Google Drive file (apk). You have to request authorization (I will accept it immediately).
Please, inform me in case you have problems...

Due to my delays I am not registered as a developer because I have been slow to host my ROM. What do I need to do?

Send me a private message with an email account. I will send you the APK as an attachment. Do you have a GMail account? In case you have GMail account, I can authorize and send you in a private message the link of the APK stored in Google Drive.
Thanks

Update:
I've been trying to connect with both my ZL running Omni and a Moto G running stock 4.4. The following happens:
1) Both phones detect the watch properly. When prompted, they pair with no problems. However, the first time the connection is established (the watch shows the ongoing bluetooth icon on its display) the app shows that it's connected but not available and the connection drops quickly. On one occasion (on the 6th try with the ZL) I managed to establish a connection on the first try (when pairing) and successfully did several call alerts before the connection dropped.
2) After that I've tried reconnecting them with no success. Both phones show "connected" and "available" but the watch keeps showing the blinking BT icon with the G-Man dancing (yes it's called like that). Endlessly going back and trying to reconnect doesn't do anything and the watch disconnects BT after a few minutes.
Still, I've managed to get a connection for a minute or so so good job! I'll try to repeat everything (on my ZL, I'll do it at night with the Moto G) and get a logcat. We can't really debug anything on the watch's side but luckily the phone's side is quite open xD

Pairing my DZ09 with my LG G3

Hello all !
I just received my DZ09 smartwatch but I can't pair it with my LG G3 phone.
I think I'm going crazy ! :silly:
My watch can see my phone, but my phone can't see my watch !
Sometime I can see a device called "Misc" in my phone... but I can't connect with it.
When I try to pair my watch to my phone, the watch says "Pairing..." for 10 secondes and then "Pairing failed".
I don't receive any notification on my LG G3.
I tried to pair my watch on my colleagues phones and it works (Samsung S5, and other phones...).
Am I the only one who can't get it work ?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks!
Flo

Try this app: com.mtk.btnotification

I have the same issue, where my phone (Nexus 4) cannot see my watch. My watch can see my phone, but the pairing fails.
From my computer (using a USB bluetooth adapter), I can pair with both the Nexus 4 and the DZ09, so I'm assuming that both of their bluetooth functionality is working.
Did either of you find a fix for this?
@dhruvdiatm, neither app (BTNotification or Mediatek Smartdevice) make a difference; it seems to be an issue with the bluetooth connectivity and not the specific apps that you use.

I also having same issue. But my other phone can.
The only one cannot search the smartwatch is Xiaomi Miui.
Anyone can help. Please.

This apk work for me in android 6.0: "Craig Smart Watch". (playstore apk, runners on photo)
Pros:
Bluetooth notify OK
Cons:
Pedometer Sync Fail.

Issues stating paired to my smartwatch

For some reason, my phone and ZenWatch 2 randomly un-pair then try to pair a few seconds after. The weirdest part is that even this happens smart lock gets disabled. I have to be turned back on and add the watch as a trusted device again. It happens maybe once a week and while not a big deal, it is starting to get annoying.
Both are running the latest firmware and Android release. I have performed factory resets on the watch but I'm trying to avoid doing do on my phone. The watch is missing from the bluetooth devices menu do it's not an Android Wear app connection issue. Has this happened anyone?

I don't have a ZenWatch... I have a Pebble Time so I can't really help you but I did have issues trying to get mine to pair and not showing in the bluetooth screen. I found that I had to go into the watch and the settings / bluetooth before the watch would "broadcast" and be available to be "found" in the bluetooth list so that may be one thing you can check with the Zenwatch .. have the settings for the bluetooth open on the watch then try to find it on the Axon 7. I also couldn't pair it in that spot ... it kept giving me a "passcode" error. I had to go to the Pebble app on the phone and pair it through the app.
As for the random unpairing ... sorry to say I don't really have any suggestions on that .. that may be the watch itself ... my pebble has never unpaired once it has been connected.

sorry for replying and giving you hope you had an answer ... I figured I would just relay my small issues because I never had those issues with my old Galaxy but had a bit with the Axon. Plus the Pebble doesn't use android wear so I really haven't had any experience with it ... sorry again for not actually providing any real help

I had the same issues with zenwatch and zenwatch 2 on different phones. So I just returned them. I assumed the zenwatch's just wouldn't work on Samsung devices. So maybe similar for you is and isn't the watch.
I currently have Samsung gear s2 working fine with phone. (There is issue with phone calls but that is great software issue on every phone other then Samsung)

I had the same issues with my zenwatch2. First the bluetooth devicelist on the phone was empty,no paired devices, i had to do a reset on the watch and pair it new.
This week i had the reconnect issue so i deactivated the audio playback in the zenwatchin settings, now everything works fine.

Smartwatch not connecting

Has anybody else experienced problems connecting their smartwatch to the XC.
Paring works fine, but establishing a connection or transferring data does not.
Tested with Pebble Time Steel and Asus Zenwatch 3.
The Pebble app keeps throwing pairing requests although the watch is already paired.
Android wear gets stuck on the main screen after pairing successfully, showing that it's trying to establish a connection.
Best regards

Hi all. My android watch (Huawei) pairing fain. I have another issue. Sometimes (4-5times per day) watch disconect and make bluetooth on phone off. Problem is that bluetooth cant switch on until i restart phone. 5times per day? Uaaaa thats wrong.
With smartwatch 3 its all ok

Bluetooth not paring

My Bluetooth keeps saying wrong pin with all my devices and even the car. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this! Ps. I'm on 4.5.8 cleaned installed.
Thanks

Hello,
I'm getting the same issue with my OnePlus5.
I'm not able to connect any device with bluetooth and each time I try to pair a device (car, smartwatch, other smartphone galaxy S6), the other device shows a pin code and asks if the same on the OnePlus5 but nothing happens on my OnePlus5.
after few seconds (about 30), I get pairing failed message saying "Couldn't pair with DeviceName because of an incorrect PIN or passkey."
Could you please help how to solve the issue. Thanks in advance.
My Device is:
OnePlus 5
OS / Version : OxygenOS 4.5.14
Recovery (stock/twrp/autre) : stock
Root (oui/non) : no

not getting passkey/pin accept prompt on the phone. Smartwatch & phone see one another and the phone attempts pairing, while the smartwatch displays code, but then the phone does nothing, timing out and giving wrong code message. Running 5.02
How can I get the phone to take the next step, to display a passkey confirm prompt? Have I defeated the popup with some other sw e.g. Malware bytes?

How do you connect to the watch? With Bluetooth or Bluetooth LE. My Pebble Time Steel provides both, but with LE im also getting no pass key. That's why I'm asking about connection

My system/stock Bluetooth pairs just fine with headsets, GoogleHome, my cars A3 & A4, even with my Dell Laptop
Asking for if anyone with similar OP5/5.02 has had similar experience so to see if it is intrinsic or due to other sw interactions.

Seems like a watch problem, cause I have also an audi A4(2016) and Bluetooth headsets and several connections to other cars and Bluetooth hands free
Maybe someone with the same Smartwatch and op5 can test?

New watch. Wife got it as a tester. Not sure its even in the market yet. Who among your associates has an OP5? Me? none.
Watch generates&displays passkey, sees phone
Phone sees watch
User starts pairing
Phone never prompts passkey acceptance
So this seems like the phone is the problem? not to me.
[other background] Paired just fine with an iphone7
SO your ultimate contribution was to suggest that find someone with the same hardware combo? LOL. The point of a forum is for far flung users to share related experience and insights.. SO your ultimate contribution was to suggest find someone with the same hardware combo? LOL.

It was not my ultimate contribution to find one with the same watch, just a suggestion, but... It's a new watch, new to the market and it didn't pair with your op5 but with an iPhone 7. Maybe it's a problem of the watch if it's new several phones wouldn't supported maybe.
And since other devices pair successfully with your op5, where to look further? Maybe you have another android phone and can check?

Not due to the iphone7 pairing. It's unpaired now and it returns to stock when unpairing.
So yeah, will pair/attempt with the wife's S9+ this evening.
Thanks
