Galaxy Watch Ultra (ONEUI 8) no longer connects to S25 Ultra (ONEUI 8 beta)

nexpos — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 22:10:49 GMT

My Galaxy Watch Ultra (ONEUI 😎 will no longer connect to my S25 Ultra (with ONEUI Beta 7/31 Update).

Had a weird message this weekend saying that Google Play updates were causing an issue with Google Messages. I clicked on Remove Updates and it somehow **bleep** up Google apps on my phone. Maps and Waze needed permissions again, YouTube Music logged out....etc. My watch was no longer connected to my phone either. Unfortunately no matter what I try, my Watch Ultra will not connect with my phone. It stops between 80-90% repeatedly. I've forced stop for Galaxy Wearables and cleared cache. I've even tried clearing data. I've checked everything for updates. I've restarted my phone and watch multiple times. I've wiped cache partition on my phone and restarted as well as doing the exact same on the watch. I feel like I have tried everything and cannot get the watch to reconnect. Any other thoughts on this? All apps are updated on my phone.

Thanks for the help here!!

from the settings in software update of the watch itself you don't need the phone to get it to update it's just like the phone go to your settings go down your settings list and you'll see software update, if you don't know how to do that then chances are you won't get it connected cuz that's the basic function of any device is it has its own settings and update menu

Watch was reset from when I first tried connecting it again. Unfortunately I had to reset my phone and then it started working again.

Same thing for me also with my watch 8. No matter how many times I reset my watch or my phone no luck. So I downgraded back to stock and then my watch started again. So I'm scared to get back in the beta I'm glad to see I wasnt crazy and not alone with this problem

My watch screen sometimes doesn't wake up. The battery is horrible, and I had to turn off raise to wake.

Factory reset (even though S25U is in beta) did the trick. Just annoying overall but at least the phone is refreshed (apps etc). Many more setup prompts appeared when resetting the phone and then setting up the watch again so I knew it would likely work.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

Since Watch Ultra is on official One UI 8, while S25 is still under Beta, there could be a conflicting Wearable Manager app causing the syncing issue. We recommend submitting a bug report, video recording on this issue while you're trying to pair.

In the mean time, Factory Data reset is the alternative option we recommend to Beta users, due to these kinds of unexpected issue.

However, before you FDR your device, try to clear out the data on Galaxy Manager / Wearable App, check for updates on Galaxy / Google Play store, and see if the pairing issue is resolved.

We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced.

Regards,

One UI Beta Team

I'm having the exact same issue. Google play services said I had an issue with the update. I uninstalled and reinstalled the update and it completely jacked my phone up. All my apps were acting weird. GPS worked half the time. Logged me out and removed my Google accounts and my Galaxy watch 5 pro wont connect. Tried resetting it multiple times. I get to 80% and there's an error. I ended up resetting my S25 Ultra and after that my watch connected. Seemed to work fine. This morning, watch is working but its only connected to my phone remotely, not Bluetooth. Tried connecting it through Bluetooth and nothing. I unpaired and here we are in the infinite loop of resetting the watch and errors. It's gotta be a Bluetooth issue with the new One UI8 Beta patch. It just started literally last Sunday. Samsung support says to send the watch in. Hopefully stable One UI 8 hits sooner than later. Good luck!
