Thx, wish ya a happy new year, too!
tested it, wiped cahe and cleared data of BT, but problem is not solved...
don´t know what I can do now...
The strange thing is, when I paired the two devices, the pairing works, but theres no connection, I have to tap in the BT options/paired devices on my phone to connect them.
I think normaly after a pairing process should be an active connection.

I am not sure exactly how it should work, but it works this way for me only for headsets or other hands-free devices. For example, my phone always automatically connects to my BT headphones, and to my car's BT speakerphone. But it never connects automatically to another device for tethering or file transfer. I just assume that's the way it is. Doesn't bother me at all...
Galaxy s6 can someone help me?
From what I understand. Security changes in Marshmallow are preventing the Samsung Camera app from working properly. Samsung needs to update the app to resolve the issue.
I found the following advice on the dpreview website which may be of help to you.
Everything works in marshmellow its just not automatic.
You lose NFC tap to join (which actually just connects to bluetooth and then trigers a call to make the phone/tablet connect to the cameras wifihotspot).
So now you can still use the basic bluetooth shutter but to use live view or transfer pictures you must your self press the mobile/wifi on the camera and then join your phone to the cameras hotspot manually. once you do that app functions pretty much like normal. unfortunately switching between app functions picture transfer and live view sometimes crashes the app or drops the cameras wifi hotspot and you have to reconnect.
Thanks but it wont work.. they wont update the app, they stopt the production of the nx cameras...
Hi
If I turn my phone's Bluetooth OFF, then the watch connects via WiFi (as I would expect, having setup the networks on the watch). Unfortunately, it is not possible to transfer any data via this WiFi connection??? I have tried the following [email protected]
- S-Voice --> does not respond
- Gear Browser --> responds with 'no internet connection'
- Xenozu You Tube app - -> 'No Internet Connection'
The WiFi Network is fine, tried it at work and at home with same result.
Anyone else managing internet connectivity over WiFi with the watch in Stand-Alone mode?

No WiFi Connectivity on my watch
Hi
Can I assume that no one else has this issue (No WiFi connectivity On watch)
On mine even though WiFi is showing as 'Connected' it is not possible to send/receive data over wifi (bluetooth turned off).
If so I shall return my watch as its obviously got a fault.
Nigel
Same here. Wifi connected. Notifications working well.
But no connection via SVoice, Weather, Browser ...

I dont get notifications with BT off en WIFI on (on "auto").
Only telegram (And maybe Whatsapp, I hear from others)
Which notifications do you get?
I am studying the options to buy a S3, but I need to access my notifications when away from phone. Will they work through Wi-Fi? When the phone is at home and the s3 is connected to the Wi-Fi at work ?
And also can I reply through a qwerty keyboard ? Is there any option?
Thank you.

No, the watch needs to have a Bluetooth connection with the phone in order to receive notifications.
Wifi is only for using the internet (browser) on the watch.
Or you need to get your hand on a LTE version of the Gear S3, that one uses a (e)SIM and then it works as a full phone and you can receive notifications.
There are qwerty keyboards available to buy in the Samsung App Store, but I don't know if they work great.
Default a T9 keyboard is on the watch, which you can use. Also some pre-defined smileys are available to use as answer.
And finally you can use your voice to answer notifications (only some languages are supported by Samsung Voice).
Thank you. But LTE variant is unavailable in Europe and even if I can buy one from US, none of the operators in my country use e sim...
Too bad...
And gear s4 is far away..

What? WiFi on gear is not just for an internet browser. And there is not even a stock browser installed.
With WiFi enabled on your Gear you can use a remote connection to your phone. So if your watch is connected to a hotspot, it tries to achieve a remote connection to your phone and you can still receive notifications.
It has to be enabled on your Gear phone app.

ok....like android wear.
this makes the difference for me between buy or no buy...
Does it matter to be on the same Wi-Fi or not ??

No, it doesn't matter.
You can also just use your mobile network in your phone. This will work too, while the gear ist connecter to a hotspot.

Not true, at least not in my case,
I have never received a notification from my phone when I was out of BT range and still wifi connected,
But as soon as I get in BT range again, the notifications are coming in.
And no, there is no option for that in the Gear App nor on the watch.
Have you ever received notifications when outside BT range and still connected to wifi network ?

Yes, I have.
And because you don't believe me, here is a short video I made while remote connected (Remote verbunden = Remote connected in german):

You can enable remote connection in gear app on your phone (Settings > Gear Connection > Remote connection).

The option is in Gear app, Gear connection->Remote connection. I would select Sync Wi-Fi profiles to confirm wifi connection as well.

Bluetooth is always activated on my watch and WiFi is set to automatic on/off.
If the watch looses the bluetooth connection, it automatically activates wifi and tries to connect to a hotspot. After a few seconds it switches from "standalone" to "remote connected".
This all works automatically.
But that only worked for me after I uninstalled all three Samsung apps on my phone (Gear App, Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service), resetted my gear and installed these three apps manually again from the PlayStore. Then I set everything up again. During setup, the phone asks if you want to use remote connection. If so, the gear app disables the battery optimization for the Accessory Service.

You should receive notifications back from the time you were disconnected. But I'm not 100% sure.
I activated the setting that the watch only receives notifications if I wear the gear.
And after I put the gear on, I receive all older notifications. So I think this will also work like this with a remote connection.

I was pleasantly surprised last night while throwing out the garbage that my Gear S3 went out of Bluetooth range then kicked over to Wi-Fi. While i was outside a text came thru and i responded while on Wi-Fi so it does work...

Weird.... I know the options and they are both enabled.
But still no notifications when connected by wifi.
maybe I have to reset my watch....
Well, another guy at work also has a Gear S3 WiFi only, and he was getting some notifications all morning long even though he had left his paired phone at home. I know for sure that he was at least receiving text messages notifications because I sent him a text message which he got the notification for on his S3, and he was able to respond using his S3 and I got it even though his paired phone was at home. So it does work even when the phone and the watch are on different WiFi connections miles apart. Impressive. I'm betting it's using the Samsung account associated with the watch and phone somehow to keep them tethered over WiFi in order to accomplish this amazing feature.

Sometimes it stops working me for, too.
Only way to get it working again is a gear reset.

Yes. Even the info text inside the gear app says that this is working via your samsung account.
So, Won't incoming call notification work when connected through WiFi ?
Hey! thank you! I recently configured that and works nice! at the begging was a little hard, after a few attempts, checking some Samsung account features, restarts both devices and testings, well, it works!
