Anyone have luck with using a gear s with a none Samsung phone? Or running android wear on a gear s??
Would love to get a non Samsung phone soon and still be able to use the watch. Pretty much only use the watch for GPS apps to run.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I don't know much about the smart watches, I don't see why not, but the Gear S Q&A Help forum will be happy to help you out with your question, once you register for an account.
Good luck!
OK thanks

What does that mean??
I can't be the only one that wants the gear 2 to work on the iPhone am I?
I installed the Gear Manage App on my IPhone but cannot get it to pair with the watch from the App.
I can get it to pair without using the App.

Not sure why it wouldn't work or somehow be made to work. In my understanding both are running Tizen. Maybe I should have posted this in the developers thread?

The others Gear was never made to works with others phone that Samsung phone. So it is not now that Samsung will change their software to adapt on their others abandoned watch..... Gear S2 has not the same firmware or Tizen version than the Gear 1&2 and the Gear S has not same Tizen version than Gear 1&2 and Gear S2....
There must be a way to update the Gear 2 to the same Tizen version as the Gear S2. Or at least a Tizen version that would work with ios.
I have an LG watch sport Android Wear 2.0 smart watch and whenever I pair it with my Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus via Bluetooth the phone says that it is connected but I am unable to receive any notifications on my watch I also go look in the Android Wear application and it says that the watch is connected as well can any of you guys please help me with this problem thank you very much I appreciate it if there's any solution. I just got my phone 3 days ago and I love it but I also want to use my smart watch Bluetooth capabilities so that I can receive notifications while at work
Check if the Android Wear app on your S8+ has been granted access to the notifications.
Thank you very much I will get a check now and see. Is the Galaxy S8 able to use Android Wear on it because I know I had a Samsung Gear 2 that was only able to work on Samsung phones?
Yes android wear works fine with Samsung. I'm currently using the huawei watch 2 with no issues.

I ve got this answer from watchmaker admin :
Apologies - Samsung removed the Companion App for WatchMaker from Galaxy Apps Store.
This was due to Samsung requiring a change in our business model so that we should sell watches on the Samsung platform, as well as on Google and Apple.
We are working closely with Samsung to get this resolved as soon as possible and have already submitted a new version for Samsung to review.
Once the new version is approved, it will work exactly the same as the current version and will not force any additional purchases.

Hello everyone!!
I just got a Samsung Gear S3 as a father's day gift.
It's a very good looking smartwatch, but honestly I dont like Tizen OS.
Is there any way to change this TIZEN OS for Android Wear OS??
Thank you.
There I still no way to root and change the OS of the Gear in Android Wear. You can go to this thread and check the progress they are on it but no one can say when it finally happens.

No Android is correct.
No Rooting is not fully correct...

After installing the stang5litre 5.0 non-mdk
can't install the samsung wearable app from play store, said the app is no longer compatible with my device. This app is needed to pair and connect to my samsung galaxy S3 frontier smartwatch. My phone is the samsung S4 sch-i545 build of1, I downgraded from from PL1 to OF1 in order to run this rom.
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.
I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly
