Galaxy Watch Ultra (ONEUI 8) no longer connects to S25 Ultra (ONEUI 8 beta)

[nexpos]

My Galaxy Watch Ultra (ONEUI 😎 will no longer connect to my S25 Ultra (with ONEUI Beta 7/31 Update).

Had a weird message this weekend saying that Google Play updates were causing an issue with Google Messages. I clicked on Remove Updates and it somehow **bleep** up Google apps on my phone. Maps and Waze needed permissions again, YouTube Music logged out....etc. My watch was no longer connected to my phone either. Unfortunately no matter what I try, my Watch Ultra will not connect with my phone. It stops between 80-90% repeatedly. I've forced stop for Galaxy Wearables and cleared cache. I've even tried clearing data. I've checked everything for updates. I've restarted my phone and watch multiple times. I've wiped cache partition on my phone and restarted as well as doing the exact same on the watch. I feel like I have tried everything and cannot get the watch to reconnect. Any other thoughts on this? All apps are updated on my phone.

Thanks for the help here!!

I just got an update to my watch ultra. You might check and see if its available for yours and will allow the watch and phone to reconnect

Thanks but unfortunately without being able to connect the watch how would I get it updated?

from the settings in software update of the watch itself you don't need the phone to get it to update it's just like the phone go to your settings go down your settings list and you'll see software update, if you don't know how to do that then chances are you won't get it connected cuz that's the basic function of any device is it has its own settings and update menu

Watch was reset from when I first tried connecting it again. Unfortunately I had to reset my phone and then it started working again.

Yes same here last week, unfortunately had to spend the whole weekend to factory reset phone and my two watch ultrals to fix the issue

Same thing for me also with my watch 8. No matter how many times I reset my watch or my phone no luck. So I downgraded back to stock and then my watch started again. So I'm scared to get back in the beta I'm glad to see I wasnt crazy and not alone with this problem

My watch screen sometimes doesn't wake up. The battery is horrible, and I had to turn off raise to wake.

Factory reset (even though S25U is in beta) did the trick. Just annoying overall but at least the phone is refreshed (apps etc). Many more setup prompts appeared when resetting the phone and then setting up the watch again so I knew it would likely work.
