    First of all, you need to have google location turned on, secondly, the phone so that it is not paired with other devices via bluetooth. Mine is already flying, I only have a problem with the motion sensor. I have to light up the display manually.

    I have a similar problem with the Microwear L9 watch. My Samsung a40 with android 9.0 pie connects to the watch via BT, but the fundo application does not see the watch. It seems to me that the problem lies in the compatibility of the application with the android 9.0 version. Maybe someone with a similar problem dealt with?

    In Samsung galaxy phones, disable the Samsung Health application and connect with FunDo.

    For me, the phone connected to the watch, but I didn't see it. The problem was that the android assigned a description to the smartwath during the first connection - the input device, just turn it off in the bluetooth settings and the fundo connects to the watch correctly.

    Use the Aptoide application and install version 1.6 works fine, then turn off the updates of this app in the Google Store and I checked myself after the problem.

    I had the same problem with the Fundo application, the connection was dropping due to an illegal device, but I found the M Active2 application that worked well in my case and has exactly the same functions?

    Hello. After changing the smartphone to Oppo, the watch stopped connecting to the L9. Changing the application to Forever Smart helped. It is in Polish and it connects flawlessly. Regards

    I had contact with the L5 model. On a dedicated application, I checked on three different phones. It did not work. It was only on M active2 that it was possible to synchronize.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around issues connecting the L9 smart wear watch to a Samsung S8 using the FunDo app. Users report various problems, including Bluetooth connectivity failures and compatibility issues with different Android versions. Suggestions include ensuring Google location services are enabled, disabling the Samsung Health app, and checking for device compatibility. Some users found success using alternative applications like M Active2 and Forever Smart, while others experienced persistent connection drops. The conversation highlights the need for troubleshooting steps and alternative solutions for users facing similar issues.

FAQ

TL;DR: 2 steps fix many L9–FunDo pairing issues: "have google location turned on" and unpair other Bluetooth devices, then pair in‑app. [Elektroda, borys79skc, post #18338302]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps L9, L5, and Android users quickly resolve FunDo pairing and app-compatibility problems without guesswork.

Quick Facts

How do I fix L9 not connecting to FunDo on Samsung Galaxy phones?

Disable Samsung Health, then pair through the FunDo app. This clears Galaxy conflicts. As one expert put it, “disable the Samsung Health application and connect with FunDo.” Open FunDo and complete pairing there, not from Android Bluetooth. This resolves discovery issues on Samsung devices. [Elektroda, sp8fux, post #18402556]

FunDo connects over Bluetooth but can’t find the watch—how do I fix the "Input device" issue?

Android may misclassify the L9 as an input device. Turn off that profile. How-To:
  1. Open Bluetooth settings and tap the L9 entry.
  2. Disable the “Input device” toggle for the watch.
  3. Open FunDo and pair again from the app. A user noted, the watch was flagged as an “input device”; disabling it made FunDo see it. [Elektroda, Kacper30, post #18438486]

My Motorola or other Android phone won’t pair—what’s the quick checklist?

Turn on Google Location. Make sure the phone isn’t paired with other Bluetooth devices. Then retry pairing inside FunDo. This simple checklist restored pairing for users. It also helps avoid conflicting Bluetooth profiles during discovery. Reboot the phone if the app still fails to scan the watch. [Elektroda, borys79skc, post #18338302]

Does Android 9.0 Pie cause FunDo to miss the L9?

One user on Android 9.0 Pie reported that Bluetooth connected, but FunDo did not detect the L9. They suspected an app compatibility issue with that OS version. Consider reviewing alternative app options in this FAQ. Version choices can affect detection and syncing reliability. [Elektroda, stokes, post #18397530]

Which FunDo version is stable for L9, and how do I install it?

Version 1.6 was reported working well. Install it via Aptoide, then disable Google Play auto‑updates to keep that version. One user confirmed, “install version 1.6 works fine,” and turning off updates prevented regressions. Reopen FunDo and pair after installing. This version-based approach often restores compatibility. [Elektroda, ginkoala, post #19534837]

FunDo says "illegal device" or drops connection—what alternate app works?

Try the M Active2 app. A user replaced FunDo with M Active2 and kept equivalent features. They reported stable operation and successful pairing. As they said, it “worked well in my case and has exactly the same functions.” Open M Active2, scan, and bind the L9. Keep FunDo closed to avoid conflicts. [Elektroda, KarolinaKalinowska, post #19554644]

Is there another companion app in Polish?

Yes, Forever Smart connected to L9 after a phone change, and it offers a Polish interface. The user reported flawless pairing. Install Forever Smart, grant permissions, and scan for the watch. Keep other wearable apps closed during first pairing to avoid conflicts. This is a practical alternative to FunDo. [Elektroda, robjas1976, post #19849826]

I have an L5—will these tips help?

An L5 user could not sync on the dedicated app across three different phones. Switching to M Active2 enabled synchronization. This suggests app choice significantly affects connectivity. Install M Active2, then pair from within the app. Keep the original app closed during setup. [Elektroda, anatol 007, post #20217694]

The watch loses connection when I walk away and its Bluetooth won’t turn back on—what then?

This is a reported failure case: after moving out of range, the watch disconnected and its Bluetooth wouldn’t re-enable. No confirmed fix was shared in the thread. Treat it as a device fault or firmware issue. Consider warranty service if basic resets fail. [Elektroda, gerard12, post #18486728]

How can I check if my phone is the problem?

Test the watch with another phone to isolate the issue. If it pairs elsewhere, your original phone or apps conflict. If it fails everywhere, focus on the watch or firmware. As one member asked, “Have you checked on another phone?” That step narrows the root cause quickly. [Elektroda, borys79skc, post #18339795]

Does the “moon” icon (Do Not Disturb) block pairing or alerts?

Yes. Make sure the moon icon on the smartwatch is off. DND can suppress notifications and may complicate pairing flows. Disable it before binding in FunDo or other apps. Recheck after any firmware resets or watch reboots. [Elektroda, borys79skc, post #18339629]

Can I change the L9’s menu language to Polish?

One user briefly saw Polish, then the menu switched to English, and asked how to set Polish. No confirmed method or setting was provided in the thread. That suggests firmware or app-driven language control without a stable toggle. Check your app version and firmware notes. [Elektroda, alexludvicov, post #18496769]

Should I pair the L9 through Android Bluetooth first or only inside FunDo?

Pair using FunDo. On Samsung phones, first disable Samsung Health, then connect in FunDo. This avoids misclassification and app conflicts. As advised, “disable the Samsung Health application and connect with FunDo.” Keep system Bluetooth visible, but start pairing from the app. [Elektroda, sp8fux, post #18402556]

My wrist-raise doesn’t wake the screen—normal?

A user reported motion sensor issues and had to wake the display manually. No fix details were posted. Check your app’s gesture settings, but behavior may vary by firmware. If gestures fail consistently, use the side button to wake. [Elektroda, borys79skc, post #18338302]
