Umi With samsung Gear S2

reinhout

Hello,
Since the newest update (2nd from Android N)
I got issues with connecting my watch. On the initial android N I did not have any issues.
Someone else using the Samsung gear S2 with the same issues?
I also got sometimes (at least once a day) random reboots of my phone.
anyone got a fix? or having the same issues?

I've an Alcatel smartwatch and work like a charm except the incoming/missed call notifications. Other type work great. No reboot here.

Please perform factory reset (settings - backup and reset - factory data reset)

Ok thanks , I was fearing to do it.
I really hope it helps!

Ok, I did the factory reset, but no luck!
the app seems to disconnect every minute and then connect again.
so any other ideas?

I have just bought an UMI Plus and have upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat and am having the same problem.  I think there is now a compatibility issue.

Hello Alan, I somehow found a possibility to make it work;

1. Bluetooth and wifi.
When your watch is connected to bluetooth and you enable wifi on your phone, you will loose the connection with your watch.

2. Bluetooth and other bluetooth.
When your watch is connected to bluetooth and you come into your  car , you will loose connection to your watch.

Fixes.

At home I use only the remote connection possibility with the wifi (turn off bluetooth and your watch should connect over wifi)
If I want to use both, than mostly it suffies to open bluetooth settings on your phone and toggle on and/or off the "share contacts" in the bluetooth setting on your phone (small wheel next to 'gear s' in bluetooth settings of your watch)

In my car, I don't bother having no connection to my watch , so I put it on "flight mode" (swipe down on the watch and activate the dlight mode)


So hope this helps you, - please let me know!

regards,

Reinhout
