The 6th release, or maybe theb5th, fixed the constant Bluetooth disconnect and reconnect issue that could drain the battery in minutes. However, the issue returned with the 6th update and is still present in this latest update. The excessive lag in response is back too. It's like you just regressed to one of the earliest betas. Not happy with the update at all.

On watch 5 pro didn't have the issue in last beta update, but I experienced bluetooth disconnect today while going on a walk. I restarted the watch so hopefully the issue is now gone.

I just tried to sign up for beta testing. I have the Watch 5 ultra. I completed the survey but when I clicked participate it said I'm not authorized?

Are you making sure you are following the correct steps? Did you check for software updates on Galaxy Wearable?

I have never experienced these issues throughout the entirety of the beta program. Have you tried doing a hard reset?

@Beta_Manager

How do I get the matching/beta plugin for the wearable app on a non Samsung phone?

Had phone issues and picked up something different used a couple of weeks ago.. I'm still adjusting after have my S21+ for 3½ years but I wasn't ready to pay for a new phone...

Nothing I have tried will let me install the Samsung Members app.

My Watch 4 classic is on the latest beta version here, but I need the matching software for my phone...
