Help. Can't connect. - Samsung Gear 2

Anyway to skip this entirely.I got this watch from someone and when i tried to connect via Bluetooth it reset and now won't do anything but try to connect via gear manager which I can't get to function properly on my HTC m7. Can't I just get it to boot up with out Bluetooth connectivity?

When going through setup(and forgive me, I might be a little off on the exact instructions, it has been awhile), tap where is says gear 2 in the top left corner 30 or so times (not exaggerating, takes a ton of clicks), this will bypass the setup. I'll look around and see if I can find the original thread I found these instructions from, because as I said, all from memory, and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be!

Here you go, there were a couple more steps to it... Eventually a popup shows, and after it disappears you have to press and hold gear 2 for a second. Here's the thread I found the info from.

[Q] questions about ICS on Sensation

Hi guys,
Looking for help on a few questions about my recently updated Sensation:
First off, changing the shortcuts on lock screen. I want to replace/change 1 or 2 of the standard shortcuts, I know I have done this before, but I can't seem to find how to do it in ICS?
Second, I'm currently using a third party screen widget for changing the sound profile on the phone (silent, vibrate, normal). Is there something new or a better way to change the profile in ICS?
Third, and this is more complaint and a warning than anything else. I just tried the Setting/Storage/Make More Space tool on my SD card. When you click it, on top you can see "Temporary files from HTC apps". I'm not sure how you read it guys, but my understanding was those are files that could be deleted without removing any other files, right? Since my "Temporary Files from HTC apps" was totaling over 3GB, I pressed it and guess what... it deleted all my music from the SD card!!!!
Thanks for reading and your help would be greatly appreciated,
rio
Hi guys,
Obvious no one had any help for me....
But I have managed to sort out the shortcuts on the lock screen! So if anyone is interested, here is how to do it:
ICS has the same 4 slots for shortcuts on the lock screen and on the home screen (2 each side of the All Apps Launcher). If you change your home screen shortcuts they will also appear on your lock screen.
Second, you can easily change your home screen shortcuts by drag&drop. You can also drop multiple apps on 1 slot, which creates a folder of shortcuts. They will still appear the same way on your lock screen!
I hope someone finds this useful, it was new to me.

I wish I'd found this post before I pressed that f&%@ing button!
It's deleted 5GB+ of my music!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crud, I've just seen the scale of the issue!
I have no way to get some of my music back and I PAY FOR ALL OF MY MUSIC!!!!!!! My fault for not backing up but WTH HAVE YOU DONE, HTC?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
RE your sound profile, Sense normally has a HTC widget that'll cycle between the three of them (under widgets->HTC Settings).
however I prefer to use the volume control on the side. If you go down step by step it gets quieter, then it goes totally silent, and then it goes to vibrate.
hope this helps.

Using Tasker it should be possible to set up google now to start when any of these commands are received.
I hope this is of help, give it a go and let me know how it turns out. If you have any questions feel free to drop me a message
I tried serveral things with other apps I came across https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton it worked great with headset but isn't compatibel with bluetooth tho... I can't find another app to get this to work.. and i don't know witch profiles I have to set.. i have a task to start google now tho.. So I would like to double press play/pauze button and start google now
How about: the trigger being your phone's media volume, when it is 0 it opens google now? I assume you volume dial in car affects phone volume when connected? You could set this up in tasker easily

Or bypassing the stereo all together... You can set up google now to open by voice command on any screen, this would be ALOT simpler

Gear S2 Shortcuts / Helpful Hints

I searched, so I don't think I am duplicating this. I am inviting everyone to post their best, or most often used shortcuts for the watch. Any little known facts or settings that you find really useful or handy.

I know you can press and hold the power button to get to Airplane Mode quickly, which is nice. But I would love to hear if anyone has discovered a quick way to toggle on/off connection settings such as BT, GPS, etc. What about others? It would be nice if Samsung made it possible to swipe down to toggle specific settings, similar to Android.
To take a screenshot hold the home button and then swipe from left to right. The screenshot will appear in the gallery app.
Hold the home button until the power menu appears. Keep holding the button until the screen goes dark. The watch will reboot.

Complex, animated watch faces can hog resources even when the watch is dark, interfering with playing music and using S-health and 3G all at the same time (which really pushes the little device to the limit).
Switch to a simple face if planning to use a 3G version standalone while exercising.
Discovered this trying to stream Milk Music using a BT headset while doing 5000 steps of exercise walking. I was using the Mechano watch face.

VS98714A Update, any thoughts??

:fingers-crossed: Great, now I can see "Fast Charging" on the Lock Screen?? Really?? I pretty much know by now when device is "fast" charging!! Hopefully the update did more then that!! (Worse, I do not use the Lock Screen.)
Supposedly there are security updates also? I really don't see much difference but I installed the update because I want LG and Verizon to be happy! <G>
I got the update last week. It broke the wallpapers. Only live wallpapers work now. Regular pictures just show up Ashland screen. Also when I click on some text boxes the curser will blink in the box but the keyboard does not show up. Always seems to happen at the worst time.

Post above should read "show up as a black screen". Not Ashland screen. I cannot edit from the new version of app. Says edit failed.
VS98715A just pulled down to mine. Wonder if it addresses the wallpaper issues?

Force Touch (correct term?) not working.

Hi all,
Has anyone else noticed that their force touch on icons is not working? I cannot get the menu that asks if I want to delete or uninstall etc anymore. When I long press it does allow me to move the icons and if I force touch on a blank part of the screen it does go to display settings.
Thanks, Dhatw.
Same issue
It happened with my phone last night as well, it is very annoying and I cannot find the solution, please, any suggestions would be great. I guess we are not the only ones, suppose something has updated.
Same thing
It is after touchwiz home updae, perhaps for Snapdragon versions only.

Just found the solution, change all animations in developer options (all if them) to NOT TO BE OFF.
Temporary solution
So, I found a temporary solution to this issue with a little research. In my case, I had all animations turned off in developer mode, if you turn them back on, the menu appears. I have no idea what the issue is, probably touchwiz's latest update. Changing animation to 0.5x in developer options solved the issue for me.
