I have a Galaxy Active Watch and a Huawei P30 Pro. Up until recently I've had no connection issues. The phone updated not long ago but the issue didn't happen then.
Watch model - SM-R500
Phone OS is Android 12.0.0
When I try to connect, the watch is showing as connected via Bluetooth but when i go to the Galaxy Wearable app, its not. Press connect and it will just hang and do nothing until I swipe the app away.
I have tried the following:
* Reset the watch - it will connect momentarily and then go off.
* Turn Bluetooth off, on both devices - Nothing
* Tried airplane mode and back off - Nothing.
* Looked at battery optimisation - Nothing.
It connects to my wife's Samsung phone instantly with no issues.
Thank you for reaching out. I can certainly understand your frustration with your Galaxy watch active no longer pairing with your phone. If your watch will not pair to a phone, or if it randomly disconnects, restart your watch. You should also make sure the Galaxy wearable app is up to date, but it may be necessary to reset the app and unpair your watch.
