Connecting to phone with S2
I try to make a phone call from my watch and get the message "connect to bluetooth" I touch the tick for yes and my watch and phone are connected straight away. It never seems to connect otherwise, but connects every time this way, so that's what I do. Wrong way, but it works

For Future Reference - Ideal way to reconnect if you face issues
Ideally, you would not need a full reset of your phone, clearing the data of all the following should work fine -
1) Gear Manager
2) Samsung Accessory Service
3) Samsung Accessory System Providers

How to restore Gear manager with connection to Gear S2 intact after a factory reset?

Hi folks,
This has been bothering me for months now. I frequently change ROMs on my Note 4 and also factory reset my phone, wiping the data partition.
While I do Titanium backup of all the apps with data, including the gear manager app with its services gear plugin, samsung accessory service, SAsystemproviders, and restore them after factory reset with the data, I still need to reset my Gear S2 to be able to connect to gear manager and hence lose most data and settings on my gear s2 - which for me is importantly s-health data.
So I have the following questions:
Am I missing something here during my backup?
How to ensure that gear manager sees gear s2 the same way it did before factory reset and connect with it without a reset
And is there any way atleast I can sync my gear s2 data to s-health online without having to rely on gear manager??
Thanks

On first point that's a security feature. You wouldn't want your watch to sync up with a third party's phone which is what it thinks your newly flashed phone is until you pair it. On the second point not sure

Same issue on note 4
Same issue on note 4. Cannot install apps or watchfaces

Same issue
I have a not 4 and I am having the same problem. I reset the watch and still no use. It seems to be an issue with Samsung that they don'the want to admit to.

Same issue with S7 Edge. Reset everything, but no change. No problems like this with iPhone and iWatch. This is the third issue I've had with the S3!!!

After months of successfully using the S3 with an LG, I wanted to try it with a Samsung phone. I was never able to get it working. I got a "service unavailable 1000" error and couldn't install apps. Factory resetting the watch and phone did not fix it. I ended up using a different Samsung phone, which installed without issue.

Download the apps from the watch it's work for me,I think there is some bug at samsung apps store.

What should I do?

Ok I bought a used S2 watch and its not locked. I am a little afraid to do a reset due to what some people have encountered...... Locked Device...... It works but I have not tried to connect to a Samsung Gear Manager app as of yet. Should I try it or is there a process in order to get it connected to my Samsung account?

My HTC M9 using the Gear Manager app can find the Gear S2 (7836) watch. The watch will then go into setting up mode and then the app will stop working. I get Notice Download failed. Try again. I keep on tapping on OK but the message reappears. I am using Sprint 4g data service and my connecting good. What should I do..... Help?!?!?!?

Could it be superuser.... I'm not getting a permission for Samsung Gear. I haven't been able to grant it or deny it.

New phone (or. full wiping phone)

Hello,
I want to switch to a new ROM, but I know that I have to reset my Gear S3 before I can connect my watch to the "new" phone.
Is there any way to connect the watch to a new phone without resetting it? Or can you put all the data back on the clock (all my steps, stairs, calories etc.)?
Thanks in advance.

I changed my smartphone a few days ago. The change made a reset of the Gear S3. I saved all data with the app on the old smartphone, but i forgot to open Samsung Health before the reset. Samsung Health syncs the data from the Gear S3 only, when you open the app. Next time i will open Samsung Health before i make a reset. The restore of my data was sucessful.

But your data are just restored inside the app, correct?
Not in the gear S3?

The data for the Gear S3 (all the settings) are restored into the Gear S3. The fitness data from Samsung Health are not restored back to the Gear S3. I see them only in the app on the smartphone.

Oh, that's sad.
This is exactly what I want... All fitness data back on my gear.
Where do I find the backup file for copying it to my "new" phone?
Thanks anyway for your report.

Samsung Health synced the data with my Samsung account. This was automaticaly - i enabled data sync on the Samsung account on my smartphone (old and new). I have no info about files and storage places.

But none of the watch faces were saved right?
