Android Wear app crashing with FATAL EXCEPTION: IntentService[CalendarQueryService]

Question

I've been looking for others suffering the same issue but can't seem to find any posts.

Anyway, I've been using the LG G watch with my Nexus 5 but after a few days, the Android Wear app crashes continuously i.e. I keep getting 'Android Wear has stopped unexpectedly' dialogs over and over again. It gets to the point where I have to uninstall the Wear app, thus making wearing the G watch pretty pointless! Reinstalling the app straight away results in the same. I reinstalled the app after a few days (and saw an update had been pushed) and it was fine but a couple of days later: the same thing happened.

The logcat output shows:

Being the actual Android Wear app, I'm not sure what I can do to fix the issue. Any suggestions please?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Two or three weeks ago I had a similar situation where the Android Wear app would crash multiple times very day with an IllegalArgumentException.

I tried removing the Android Wear app, resetting the watch (Moto 360), re-pairing, removing a lot of the app from the watch, all that kind of stuff, multiple times but nothing helped.

In the end I wiped the cache partition of my phone (Nexus 4) and that seems to have fixed the issue.

Android Wear hasn't crashed anymore in the past two or three weeks (#FingersCrossed)

Answer 2

Try clearing up Calendar Storage app (Force Stop + Clear Data). This resolved my problem on Nexus 5 (Lollipop 5.0)
