G-shock watch buggy--- bluetooth loses connection--- POSSIBLY RESOLVED

[space wrangler]

I did the update yesterday and it seems to have taken care of the bluetooth LE crashing

Not mine.

Anyone else have random unwarranted disconnects from phone, or it suddenly won't get call/text alerts? Really frustrating lol.


EDIT: See below for more information but this seems to be the solution. On my phone, this didn't happen automatically. I found it just fiddling around. I'll let someone more knowledgeable than I explain what "Bluetooth Smart" is, but it seems to have fixed the issue on my phone/watch.

I have a gbx 6900. The app version is 1.1.4(0127a) I cannot find under settings the smart bluetooth setting. Any help please.

You could like... wear the watch, it is still keeping deadly accurate time in the drawer...

I wear my watch every day at work where it gets coated with paint, and scrubbed with a fairly harsh paint remover.... takes a beating quite well actually.

I don't bother syncing it. It only stays synced for the whole day (10 hours) once a week, or less. Some days it loses sync after a couple hours, and continues to lose it repeatedly. Way too much hassle to even bother with it.

The software update from a while back on the phone seemed to help a touch, but that was only a temporary phenomenon.
