Locus Map Watch and Galaxy Watch 6, 47 mm, interrupted Bluetooth

Axel Czypionka shared this problem ago

Dear team,
I now own the Galaxy Watch Classic 6, 47 mm.
With Wear OS 5. The only reason I have a smartwatch is to use Locus Map. I previously used Locus on the Galaxy 1 with Tizen for several years. It always worked.
The Bluetooth connection on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic keeps getting interrupted. Mostly due to the lock screen. I know, something optimize Battery. 
This is what I did to prevent it:
- My Honor Pro 200 phone is not in power saving mode
- Locus Map Pro as a Service
- Locus Map Pro: Manual battery settings, autostart, background
- Samsung Wear and Samsung Wear for Classic 6 also set to manual and in the background.
- Samsung Accessory Service, Manual, Autostart, and Background
- All permissions allowed
- GPS access: Always
- I usually start a track recording when using Locus Pro; this has resulted in a more stable connection on the Galaxy 1.
- I removed "Locus Map Watch" from standby mode on the watch.

- Deleted all caches
-Reset the phone and went through the whole process again.

None of that helped, and I can't find any other settings. I'm currently using the Galaxy Watch 1 again with Locus Map Pro and Locus Free on the watch (with the same Honor 200 Pro), and it's working perfectly as usual.
If I missed something, here's a tip :-) I'd be happy to hear it. Otherwise, I'll return the new watch and stick with the Watch 1.

Best regards,
Axel

Dear Michael
Thank you so much for the answer and, of course, for the wonderful "Locus." I love it.

Your list of tips has helped me use Locus Map on my Galaxy Watch 1 without any problems over the past five years on three different smartphones.

I'm giving up this time. I hadn't turned off Smart Tune-up yet, but that didn't help either. The Galaxy Watch Classic 6 disconnects on the lock screen. I think I've tried everything, and there are no connection drops with the Galaxy 1 (same phone). I have to return the watch now and wait to see how it goes. Thanks!
Axel

Hi all,

we are sorry for the inconvenience but it seems the Locus Map Watch add-on needs a major update. Hopefully, we'll find some time for it during the next year.

sometimes the connection stops after 10 sec

sometimes it is working for 10 oder 15 min

when you dont move the phone so that the watch shows always the same position it works for hours without connection lost

im not sure, but i think when navigation is on an the watch gets navigation information every 30 sec the connection ist not that often lost. when you only show the map and your are moving the connection ist lost pretty often.

Hi Mike,
Thank you. I bought the Galaxy watch 3 (wit lunette) in addition to the Galaxy Watch 1. She´s a little bit smaller and fits good. As you know, Itś the last one, uses Tizen as operating system. Everything works perfekt together and iḿ totally satisfied with Locus on Honor 200 and Galaxy Watch 3. :-) There ´s nothing, i miss.
