Did you download the SmartConnect software? What step of the process is the problem occuring?

 

[Misterskulls]

Yes, I downloaded everything but when I go to activate the Bluetooth and to connect the devices the galaxy don't read my watch. In practice the smartphone don't detect it

When starting the device have you held down the power button to activate pairing?

Here's some steps you can take especially if your watch is new and not very customized yet. Try hooking up the watch to your PC and run the sony applicaton on your PC that does the updating. Have it connect to your watch and flash the latest firmware from Sony. After it's all done, let the watch sit on the cable until it has a full charge. When it is fully charged, reboot your phone and disconnect the watch from the cable. After the reboot, make sure no other BT devices are connected. Put the phone in BT discovery mode. Hold the watch's power button down for about 30 seconds or so. This will reset the watch. From there, the pairing should work.

Glad I could help. When I snagged mine off Ebay, it was stuck on a 3 bars screen. I had to do some searching around to get it fixed. That's where I came across a lot of the troubleshooting steps for the watch.

I see an new issue... The LiveView app closes itself after some time... Someone experiencing this issue too?

If I cut BT off , yes the app will disappear. However if BT is fine and my phone has been within range of the watch, I never see the app go away. Double check any app killers you have to make sure it's whitelisted. Also, people at least with a Nexus 4 have been complaining that the BT stack for 4.2.2 has been kind of trashy. M y rooted Rezound with a 4.2.2 rom has been fine though.

can't connect smartwatch with S4

I try to reset the watch and pairing again with my S4, it paired up, when connecting for data, my phone just won't find my watch. I don't know how to update my watch with pc. But I connect it with my galaxy tab and update it. Is there any other way that can make my watch works with S4?

Thanks a lot

Awesome It takes a bit of googling to find the right info on that. I initially told my seller-thanks for a defective watch LOL. It's been working great since I fixed that thing being stuck on the 3 bars.
