[Q] OTG on Samsung Galaxy S2? - General Questions and Answers

I'm getting ready to upgrade from my iPhone 3GS, with the Samsung Galaxy S2 being at the top of my list. One reason for my choice is the OTG support on this phone, however, one of the Apps I intend to use (DSLR Controller) reports that the OTG is disabled in newer firmware. Anyone here know if this is the case with the S2 from AT&T, or have any more information about this issue?

Can you access the mic in a Samsung Galaxy S2 before it goes to the GSM module?

Hi,
Samsung Galaxy S2,
Is it possible to access the MIC on the S2 or even the new S3 before it hits the GSM module, via custom ROM or other?
I cant seem to find any specs for this on the S2, where should I be looking?
Google returns nothing so far on "access mic samsung galaxy s2 gsm custom rom" or other varied searches
I'm aware of the legalities in some countries manipulating the mic before it send over GSM, just want to know if it is possible? and could you point me in the right direction..
Many Thanks,
I mean you can do it with the Apple phones, but can the same thing be done on the Samsung S models?
Someone must know?

gear s2 and samsung pay

I was wondering how in the world do I get Samsung pay to work with my gear s2 3g version please help
it does. only thing is that you have to have one of newest Samsung devices (Note 4, Note 5, S6, etc) that support Samsung Pay. Keep in mind, Samsung Pay does NOT works on rooted device...

It's only supported in certain markets right now. I don't believe it's working in the US yet

Can't speak for the 3g variant, but the secret to getting it to work on the Bluetooth version is to wait for Samsung to enable it in a future update.

AppLink on Ford Sync with Nexus 5

I have a 2014 Ford Focus with Sync with MyFord (not MyFord Touch). It support Applink that lets you connect phone applications to the car AV system. Unfortunately when I try to use applink on the car with my phone it says the phone isn't compatible. If you go to Ford's compatibility site here. It lists the LG Nexus 5 (D820) as "This device many not be compatible with SYNC AppLink". Now the weird thing is which phones are and aren't listed as compatible with AppLink:
Nexus 4: No
Nexus 5x: Yes (but no bluetooth audio)
Nexus 6: Yes
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337): No
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-I545): YES
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-L720 with firmware L720VPUAMDL): No
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SCH-L720 with firmware L720VPUGOD2): Yes
Samsung Galaxy S5: No
Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport: Yes
Does anyone know what separates the phones than do and don't support Applink? Any ideas if there is a hack to get AppLink working on the Nexus 5?
Thanks

Non-Samsung Smartphones and Gear S2 Compatability List

POST YOUR PHONE, ORIGINAL PHONE CARRIER, AND YOUR GEAR S2 YOU HAVE IT PAIRED WITH, AND IF THERE ARE ANY PROBLEMS (email, notifications, apps, calls, etc. not working).
P.S. I'm especially interested to know if someone has a moto z/play/force that is functionally paired with a gear s2.
EXAMPLE (NOT REAL):
Moto X
Unlocked
Gear S2 3g Verizon
No problem with email/calls/texts/notifications
Together we can make a list and help some other poor soul, like myself, that wants to get this watch but is afraid he'll be left with a paperweight.
oneplus 3T
unlocked
Gear S2
No problem with email/calls/texts/notifications
