Probably due to the Gear Manager update. A lot of people are reporting problems.

Any solutions, my girlfriends gear 2 neo also doesnt show incomming calls. Allready disconnected Bt pairing, resetted watch, uninstalled gear manager, restarted phone, reinstalled gear manager, connected gear again ... same problem, when I call her, nothing happens on the gear. all other stuff works( apps , notifications etc ...)

The latest Gear Manager has given many users problems, I'm one of the few who experience such. The only solution we found so far is to Revert back to the previous version of Gear Manager, that's v2.1.xxx, and never update to latest, not until sammy has fixed it. If you can't find any link to download the previous version. Just reply here and I'll be glad to upload one. [emoji106]

Incoming calls are not getting to my gear 2.
Hope this will fix it.

I tried to install an older version (2.1.14071502) and installation was successful. But when the old version Gear Manager runs for the first time it forces me to update the new version. Otherwise it will close.

whenever it prompts me to update i just force close the app and reopen it, the prompt will not appear but after a few days it will prompt me again and i just repeat the process. Yeah i know it's a little hassle to do that every once in a while but at least no bugs anymore. I've also read that someone blocked the gear manager from using internet so update prompts wont appear.

I would also like the link to the old version of gear manager. Can somebody post a link?

hi guys just got off the phone w/samsung they were able to fix my watch remotely, now its back to normal

How did they fix it.. please let us know

My friend I have the same problem with my gear s2 i will appreciate if you share a link to download previous version, thank you in advance...

Gear 2 connection problems with Galaxy Note 4

Hello, I had just bought my gear 2 today and after charging it fully I tried to follow the instructions and download the gear manager app on my galaxy note 4. It installed the latest version. I opened it and it immediately crashed. The only way I can open the app is to press the active apps button at the bottom of the phone and go to the app that way. Doing that it pairs and finds the watch just fine. I press on the gear to start "connecting" after it paired. It endlessly connects, with no error messages. I've updated the gear via kies. I've installed a previous version of gear manager. I've factory reset the gear. All to no avail. I've gotten around the startup wizard on the gear so I can use it but the time is wrong, and I can't use any of the actually useful functions that you need to pair with a phone to use. I called Samsung and talked to some Asian chick who told me to restart the phone and the watch. Obviously that didn't work and I had already tried it so I yelled at her and she created a report. Don't know what that will do for me then she referred me to a freakin best buy and said I quote "go to local best buy and have them look at it"
Seriously hoping if any of you can help me. I don't know what to do after this and I really wanna be able to see even a correct time on my watch. Thanks in advance for anything you can do to help.

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.

New S3, can't load apps and watchfaces in the gear app: HELP HELP

Hi all, I just picked up the lovely S3 Frontier.
When I click "view watch faces" or "view more apps" in the gear app
the Samsung Gear APP, after a quick "loading", displays white screen with error
"{"returnCode":"0","errorCode":"0003","errorMsg":" System Error!-[0003]"}"
for the rest, everything works.
I uninstalled the Gear app, the Gear S Plugins and Samsung Accessory Service. Rebooted the S3.
Reinstalled everything but the error remains.
For the rest, everything works just fine.
I can't find anything googling so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!!!

I've no problems so far with my Gear S3 Frontier in combination with my Samsung Galaxy S7Edge...
To what phone are you connected? Probably not a Samsung product?
If not: Gear Apps Store is part of "Galaxy Apps": maybe Galaxy Apps must be installed too on your device? "Samsung Account"?

Hi, mate 9. Everything else is working fine. I'll install galaxy apps, see what that does, thanks.

Fixed it by deleting all Samsung apps cache on the phone. This results in a soft reset on the watch. After re-pairing it works!

I'm having the exact same problem, only for me it doesn't go away after a reset. I've tried resetting all apps, even reinstalling them, resetting the S3, restarting my phone, but nothing seems to work. I can install apps from the watch itself just fine (just the 10 suggestions), but the Gear app just doesn't work.

I did all that after which it worked but I did do something else in between.
I downloaded the galaxy apps apk, from somewhere, ran it but it said no go, only run on Samsung phones.
Maybe that app flipped a bit somewhere, who knows!

I have a similar issue, get a pure white screen on the gear phone app. When I try and load the apps store. Fixed it by resetting watch deleting all the samsung apps, and then reinstalling and re setting everything up. It worked for about a day, and then failed in exactly the same way. I give up with this device, and I shall not be wasting another 30 mins doing the same long-winded process again. Samsung makes nice hardware, but as usual, the software is crud!
I note that Samsung changed the website end of the gear apps store the other day - looks like they fouled it up and have not bothered to fix it yet.

Mine has been working just fine after fixing it and I'm on the gear app store a lot at the moment fooling around with new stuff.
I do agree with you, Samsung is the worst sw developer. Take a look at my 3000 bucks smart tv, it's such a mess!

Mine 'fixed' its self this morning. The white screen is where the app loads content web browser style, they fouled something up server side is my guess. It still fails sometimes, and getting any app to actually install requires several attempts. Pish software.

i just got my Gear S3 and i'm having the same problem how did you guys fixed this?
Thanks in advance

Any fix for this problem???

I had this issue as well. Some apps or watchfaces would install but most wouldn't. I connected phone and watch to home WiFi and everything installed. I have Sprint LG v30+ paired with watch. Over the network, it's hit or miss but on WiFi all seems to work.

Cannot pair or connect a previously connected watch

Yesterday afternoon my Gear S3 disconnected spontaneously from the phone (Redmi Note 8T) as it does from time to time and I haven't been able to reconnect or pair it again ever since.
I reset the watch, uninstalled and reinstalled the phone app but the pairing never finishes. It goes through the motions both on the phone and the watch, the watch appears in the list of paired BT devices but it always comes up with "Connection failed. Try again." on the watch and goes back to "Pick your device" on the phone app. I am at the end of my witts with this one.
Can anyone help?

I am experiencing the exact same thing, it started this morning. I did install a new ROM last night, no issues so its possible that is related but I'm not seeing anything on the ROM forum about this issue. Did you install a new ROM recently?

I am just running everything stock, so there may have been an official update to either the Tizen or Galaxy Wearable app in the background but nothing that I have done.

Yeah it seems like it, well I'm glad to know I didn't directly cause it, before your post I wasn't seeing this issue anywhere. I saw some posts from years ago but were fixed with minor changes that didn't work for me.

SOLVED.
FYI this has been resolved.
It was the Samsung Health app on the phone that was hogging the pairing for some reason. In desperation and trying everything possible I removed and reinstalled the Health and after that the S3 paired no problem.

I was very hopeful when I read your message! But that was not my problem. I tried reinstalling and no dice, tried uninstalling and trying to pair and still no luck. I'm glad yours is working now!

Try this, it worked for me:
Find "Gear S Plugin" app in All Apps List, force stop, then clear cache, clear data
Remove your Gear S3 from Bluetooth paired device
Uninstall, reinstall both Samsung Health and Galaxy Wearable apps
Restart your Gear S3 and go through setup steps in Galaxy Wearable app again

Hey, thanks for the tip, it didn't work for me but I appreciate the attempt to assist.

It did end up being the ROM I was using, an update came out and fixed the issue.
