[Q] Gear manager issues.

I have a note 3 rooted on stock rom kitkat and I just got a gear 2 neo and since getting it I have had one successful time connecting in gear manager. but once I got it connected I couldn't select any of the settings. Everytime I tried to select something it would pop up for 1-2 seconds then send me back to the main menu. So today I uninstalled and reinstalled in hope to try and fix this issue. I have tried almost everything. I have reset both the gear and my phone several times. I have tried force closing apps, uninstalling/reinstalling samsung apps, bluetooth settings. when I go onto gear manager now it takes me to the "paired and unpaired devices" screen and my gear pops up but when I try and select it the app just flashes a few times and takes me back the same menu. I have no idea what to do.
EDIT: I researched this problem some more and found one other guy with the problem and the way it was fixed for him was by chance. He just resarted both the gear and his phone and it worked. but for me I am still stuck in the "select device screen" making my gear completely useless If anyone might know why please help.

Stuck at connecting to gear

hello all,
i dont know what i was thinking when i forced closed gear app and it services, and the Samsung accessory service as well, and now my i cant connect to my gear anymore
i have done a light reset and factory reset to my gear s2, and am not able to make it to connect again to my note 3 anyway
also i have uninstalled the gear app and reinstalled again and unpairing the watch , but still its not connecting, it is getting stuck at connecting to gear ,
i tried connecting the gear to other phone it worked, but with my note it is not working , any suggestions ?
***Update - Never mind fixed it by a factory reset of my phone

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

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.

Gear S2 (SM-R720) can no longer connect to my Note 4

Hey guys, wondering if anyone could help on here. Upgraded to the latest PK5 (Singapore) through my note 4, for my R720 a few days ago. After the reboot, i coild no longer get my S2 to connect to the Gear app. So i did a soft reset and now, all my watch shows is the screen stating: "Reactivation lock is enabled on your Gear. On your phone, sign in to the same Samsung account that was used to lock the Gear."
Trouble is, I am using the same Samsung account and though the S2 pairs with my note 4 via bluetooth, it never connects to my phone. I cannot even hard reset it, as the Recovery option on bootup is now gone, with the new firmware. I have tried uninstalling the Gear app, removing my Samsung account and adding it back, together with re-installing the Gear app, but to no avail. Other devices such as my bluetooth earpiece all pair and work flawlessly with my phone, so it cannot be that the phone's bluetooth is faulty. I also doubt it was a bad firmware update, as the S2 was working perfect (except connecting to my phone) after the update.
Any help would be much appreciated. [emoji4]
*Managed to hard reset it, but still not able to connect. sigh...

[Q] unable to pair Gear 2 (Tizen) with S8+

Got my S8+ at launch, reset my Gear 2 running Tizen and quickly had it paired using both the Gear app and Samsung Health.
Everything was running just fine until a about a week ago when the pairing stopped. I decided to reset the Gear 2 and re-pair it to my S8+.
After several unsuccessful tries, here's what happens:
1. Reboot phone and wait for boot to complete.
2. Start the Gear app (v2.2.17022862) on the phone.
3. From the Gear app select "Connect new Gear."
4. Power on the Gear 2 and select "Next / Next"
5. Back to the app on the phone select "Gear 2 (XXXX)"
6. Get a Blue tooth pairing request on both devices and confirm on both of them.
7. The Gear 2 shows "Waiting for confirmation from Gear Manager" and the Gear app on the phone shows "Connecting to Gear..."
8. Minutes pass and nothing else happens.
IOW, the Bluetooth pairing is successful but the actual link between the devices never finishes.
Any idea what I might try next to get this working?
TIA,
RIch

Having similar issue. eventually got a connection failed. This worked originally then I did the OTA update (I have an unlocked S8+) and the Bluetooth started acting up.
One post said unpair everything and now I cant get the phone to reconnect. Eventually Bluetooth recognizes the Gear2 and the Gear Manager (as disconnected).... and the watch stays in that factory reset mode.

Not sure exactly how, but I got mine working. After unpairing the Bluetooth connection, I also cleared the cache and data on both the Samsung Gear app and the Samsung Health app then removed both apps from my S8+ rebooting many times along the way. After reinstalling the Gear app and the Health app I was able to eventually get the pairing to be successful.
Sorry I can offer better detailed guidance. I hope you get yours working again too.

Thanks... I tried clearing S-Health's\Samsung Connect cache, unpairing the watch, deleting Gear Manager, and restarting. That didn't work. I'll give it another try.
Just out of curiosity, have you disabled anything like Bixby or Svoice? I have both disabled... I tried reenabling them before but that didn't help.

Nope. While I don't use either, both Bixby and SVoice remain active. Sorry I can't help more.
