Unable to debug over Bluetooth with android wear - Host Disconnected


So I'm currently trying to follow this guide on Debugging over Bluetooth but am coming to some problems when attempt to connect to the local host.

I have used the top voted answer from this question and where I was previously getting an error stating "No connection would be made because the target machine actively refused it", I now receive a message stating "connected to 127.0.0.1:4444".

However, when I go onto the Android wear app on my mobile, it is still showing that the host device is disconnected.

I have also followed the steps in this article but after following the steps and restarting both devices, my phone is unable to connect with my watch again so I have to run a factory reset. I have tried to repeat the steps again after the factory reset but my mobile is still saying the Host is disconnected.

I am using the following:

Smartwatch: LG G Watch

Mobile: Samsung Galaxy Alpha running KitKat


Solution

  • After trying this with another device (Samsung Galaxy s6) and having no success, I changed the cable that the mobile was being connect to the host machine with. Seems to have fixed the problem!
