Are you suspicious of any apps that might mess up your watch

[electricpete]

So, I've been through this sequence several times now:

1. Have some connectivity problems that don't seem to be resolved by; reboot phone/watch; disconnect/reconnect b/t; try going from wifi to data on phone, wait 30 minutes etc.
2. Go drastic and start from scratch
   • Uninstall (and clear cache/data) for all wear apps on phone including android wear.
   • Factory reset the watch, reinstall android wear and one or two important apps.
3. Everything is back to normal, connectivity fine whether phone using wifi or data.
4. Start adding more apps back.
5. Experience connectivity problems again similar to 1.
6. Back and try step 2... all over again.

I went a whole week with no problems when I wasn't installing apps, but got problems shortly after I started installing apps again.

I'm not 100% sure, but I am suspicious that Aeris wear weather was a culprit for me, since the symptoms appeared while testing that app shortly after its installation, twice in a row. I've got most of my other apps back in now and everything's working fine, so I'm not installing it a 3rd time to prove my point, I'll just move on to a different app. Btw my watch is moto 360 (2014)

I'm curious if any of you have had similar experience that led you to suspect certain apps were guilty of "messing up your watch" in one way or another.

Anymore, when I have an issue with phone or watch, first thing I think is "which one of you little ba$****$ is behind this?" then I go back through my memories to see if I can remember any recent updates or installations that could be behind it.

9 out of 10 times it is indeed an app that's behind it. But here's the crazy thing, it can be a phone app screwing with the watch and vice versa, so don't ever think it's limited to just wear apps. See if any phone apps have updated, then see if they access BT or WiFi or contacts or notifications or whatever. You're going about it right though, keep that junior detective vibe going and you'll figure it out.
