Gemini Keeps Resetting to Setup Screen

Name: Google Pixel Watch 4
Brand: Google
Availability: PreOrder
Rating: 4.8 (1250 reviews)

If Gemini repeatedly returns to the setup screen on your Galaxy Watch or WearOS device, this is a known bug affecting many users. The issue often occurs after updates or when switching from Google Assistant.

Why This Happens

Gemini may get stuck in a setup loop due to corrupted voice model data, incomplete migration from Google Assistant, or sync issues between your watch and phone.

Voice Model Corruption: The Hey Google voice detection may need retraining after migration.
Cache Conflicts: Old Google Assistant data can conflict with new Gemini settings.
Account Sync Issues: Your Google account may not be properly synced on the watch.
Icon Bug: Some users report the Assistant icon refuses to change to Gemini icon even after setup completion.

Solution 1: Retrain Voice Model

Retraining voice detection often resolves the setup loop.

On your watch, go to Settings Google Assistant Voice Match
Select Retrain voice model
Follow the prompts to say Hey Google several times
Restart your watch after completion

Solution 2: Clear Gemini App Cache

Clearing cached data removes corrupted settings that cause the loop.

On your watch:

Go to Settings Apps Gemini
Select Storage Clear cache
Repeat for the Google app

On your phone:

Open Settings Apps Gemini
Select Storage Clear cache and Clear data
Restart both devices

Account sync issues can cause persistent setup loops.

On your watch, go to Settings Google Accounts
Select your Google account and choose Remove account
Restart your watch
Go back to Settings Google Accounts and add your account again
Open Gemini and complete setup

Solution 4: Clear Watch Cache Partition

This clears system-level cache without losing personal data.

Power off your watch completely
Press and hold Home + Back buttons until Samsung logo appears
Navigate to Recovery mode using the buttons
Select Wipe cache partition
Restart and test Gemini

Solution 5: Factory Reset (Last Resort)

If nothing else works, a factory reset properly restores Gemini with the correct icon.

Back up your watch data via Galaxy Wearable app
On watch, go to Settings General Reset
Select Factory reset and confirm
Set up watch fresh and configure Gemini during initial setup

Factory Reset Fixes Icon Issues

Users report that factory reset is the only reliable fix when the Gemini icon shows as old Assistant icon. The fresh setup properly initializes all components.

Prevention Tips

Keep Apps Updated: Regularly update Gemini, Google, and Galaxy Wearable apps
Complete Setup Fully: Don't interrupt the initial Gemini setup process
Stable Connection: Ensure strong Bluetooth and WiFi during setup

Before Contacting Support

Note your watch model, WearOS version, and exactly when the loop started. This helps Google or Samsung support diagnose the issue faster.
