I'm having trouble with Gear VR, even when I turn off Tasker, Bluetooth connect and Play Free, and turn on Do Not Disturb.
If the Bluetooth is on at all, I constantly get pop ups that "Bluetooth disconnected". Frustrating. If I turn Bluetooth off, there are no pop ups, but I want to be able to use a Bluetooth controller with the Gear VR.
Even with Do Not Disturb, I get notification pop ups (like Gmail) when I'm using Gear VR.
Are there any global settings I can set up as a profile in Tasker that might totally optimize the S6 for Gear VR, to be sure nothing is interfering?

All,
I run into problems with the combination of items mentioned in the subject...
A while ago I bought the Samsung EI-HS10 body scale. This pairs with the Note 3 and sends info via Bluetooth to the Note 3. This was working fine, until I recently got myself a Gear 2.
As far as I noticed so far, is that on the stock 4.4.2 ROM on my Note3, the SensorService picks up the message from the scale and sends this to S Health. After pairing the Gear 2 (which did not go as smooth as expected), the scale indicates sending its data, but the phone does not pick it up anymore. So now and then SensorService even crashes.
When I remove the connection to my Gear 2 (by removing the BT registration in the phone, not by just simply disconnecting the BT signal) and when I then clear the data of S Health and SensorService, the scale data comes back to the phone.
However, when I then try to connect the Gear 2, I need to try to connect it multiple times as it does not connect straight away.
For now, I prefer that my watch works instead of the scale, but I also notice that the BT connection to the watch is still buggy. Sometimes the watch remains connected for days, sometimes it starts disconnecting every couple of minutes. This is mainly very very annoying when I am tracking a bike trip or something, as losing connection ends the exercise. I sometimes even need to reset the watch and pair it again to make it actually work. Luckily the Gear Manager then sees a backup and restores this to the watch, but it is very annoying.
Does anyone else experience the fragile BT connection between Note 3 and Gear 2 (without using the EI-HS10)? Anyone else out there has the same combination of 3 devices working together as it should?

Metal case or defective gear 2? those are my guesses
maybe try deleting the scale and gear 2 bluetooth profiles and start w/ pairing the gear 2 first and see if it works perfect then the scale.

The Gear just has its own case. The problems with Gear are mainly related to connecting to Gear Manager. When connecting through the Bluetooth profiles it always immediately connects phone audio.
I tried removing profiles and connecting the devices back in any possible order, but as soon as I add the Gear, my Note 3 stops receiving the messages from the scale.
Do you have this combination working then?

Just the gear 2 neo and the note 3, no problems here running 4.4.2
I dont know if this is specific to Android Auto or just my pioneer 4100nex, but it seems when i connect or disconnect the phone to android auto the S2 disconnects and does not reconnect until i go to the screen below and turn it on.
Im trying hard to like this watch, but this is frustrating.
I have the exact same issue!!!

This does not happen to my Gear S2. I have Android Auto through my 2015 Sonata.

When using my carkit( 13 Chevy VOLT with MYLINK) I have to turn Bluetooth off on the watch or else I can not connect to my carkit. After it connects I can turn the watch Bluetooth back on and they work fine.
It is like the Gear S2 is taking priority and not allowing me to connect to another Bluetooth device that isn't just A2DP
I do have a Gear S2 3G
I have similar issue Note 4 and Gear S using 4000NEX. when phone detects android auto it kicks my Gear S out. I think it's a safety thing but it does not reconnect even when android auto is complete. The only work around i have set is to have a rule in Automatelt "free app" that will launch gear manager app when the Gear is is disconnected from the Bluetooth. This way it reminds me to reconnect to my watch or else the Gear S stays disconnected. It is annoying, hoping for a better workaround or a fix.
Arghhh just swapped to a Kuga with SYNC 3 and my Gear S3 has the same issue, it just kicks it out and you later realise and manually reconnect.
Reading this the idea for safety makes sense but reading Android forums it should not happen on Google Wear so ...

Same thing. Brand new Chevy Silverado...my link...android auto...gear s2 and samsung note 3. Everytime I get in the truck, android auto disconnects my watch. From my phone, I don't see dates for these posts. (For me 12-26-2016) Hopefully these are recent issues and a fix will show up in an update???
Just adding to the list. Same issue.
I have a Gear S2 classic, Pioneer 4100NEX and Note5. My Gear will usually disconnect with I plug up to the head unit for Android Auto and will not automatically reconnect later. I always have to manually connect to the Gear in the app on the phone.
I have Gear S2 3G, and it disconnects me as well. 2017 Elantra. Only problem is, with the 3G, phone is on, and it tries to forward calls and screws up. So i have missed calls.
Just got a gear s3 frontier and same trouble. Open the android auto app while not connected to your vehicle. Go to settings, check the switch for use bluetooth. Seems to have solved my issue. Not sure why this is defaulted off.

Gear S3 Classic. I'm starting to get the Gear S Plugin has stopped message as I walk out of BT range of my phone, but before the autowifi picks up.
Thoughts?
Hi.
Just got my S8 and tried to pair it to my Gear S3. All goes fine and both stay connected until I disable the watch audio function in the S8 bluetooth options (to not conflict with my car handsfree system).
After that, they just disconnect and don't connect anymore.
Any help out there?
Thanks!
Choose connect to another phone. Gear watch will ask you to light reset, after that you can reconnect your device to the phone. All your downloaded apps will be deleted on gear watch, but you can reinstall them.
HI, i have a couple of weird issues on my Mate 9, look out in forum and online and get nothing:
1. Overnight the phone auto disabled wifi and goes into vibration, i have checked the turn on/off settings and both are disabled, also not using Energy Saving. can't find any setting related.
2. When connected to my car Bluethoot and playing spotify or any other music app, sometimes the Phone Bluetooth "auto disable" and have to manually enabled.
3. When connected to my Gear S3, and the start my car it connects to BT, but does not enable Phone call, have to go into BT settings for car and enabled, the it disabled the Phone calls on Gear S3. Not found any proiority for BT devices.
None of this happen with same devices and Samsung S7, so it seems to be the Mate 9, any ideas, My mate it's MHA-L29 C605B111.
Thanks
