Hi .. I just got samsung gear 2 that was suppose to be neo but turned out to gear 2 "lite" wich looks exactly the same exept it is recognized on my note 3 as gear 2 lite and it dont have s voice installed and when i googled gear 2 lite the results came out in french so I guess this version was mainly targeted for france .. the important defference is that gear 2 neo's code is sm-r381 while lite's code is sm-r3810. .so do anyone know about this "lite" version .. and would it damage my smartwatch if I flashed neo's firmware into it?
I apologize if this has been asked. Really don't want to mess up my gear 2 neo
There is no device called galaxy gear 2 . also unless developer say so the answer is no.
no they will not work.. im not really sure what the guy about me was talking about but roms that are created for the gear 2 and different then those created for the gear 2 neo..
R380 = galaxy gear 2
R381 = galaxy gear 2 neo
First let me start with this is my first posting. I have read over 100 post relating to the Gear 2 Neo and Watch Styler. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S6. I have not been able to find anything definitive on whether you can install Watch Styler on the Gear 2 Neo. I have seen a couple of people who got it installed, a few that got it installed on their phone but not their Gear 2 and a bunch of people who say I don't have a galaxy but it loaded on my Note.
Can someone give me the correct answer to the question of whether Watch Style can be loaded on the gear 2 Neo running with Galaxy S6? Forgive my frustration but I have installed and reinstalled this app about 40 times trying everything I have read in different posts.
Barring that it can't be loaded on the Gear 2 Neo, does anyone know how I could download some of the watch faces from Gearfaces and get them to install on my Gear 2 Neo? I have tried everything I have found but nothing worked.
Please help!!!!
Samsung Gear Manager App is now available for IPhone / IOS. The app will allow control with an Gear S2.
Trying to find out if anyone has figured out a way for the app to work with the Gear 2?
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 got my Samsung Gear 2 (Camera + IR) watch when I had my Note 4. I sold my Note 4 hoping to use the Gear 2 on a non-Samsung Android phone but was bitterly disappointed. I was told the Gear 2 needed to be paired with a Samsung Phone.
I still like the Gear 2 because of the Camera & IR. I am upgrading to a Note8 soon. I just want to confirm that the Gear 2 works with the Note8, else I will probably add a smart watch to my order (I hope to just keep the Gear 2).
Anyone successfully paired and using the Gear 2 with the Note8 and getting notifications on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your response!
Yes, my Gear 2 (flashed to run Tizen) works with my T-Mobile branded Note 8. Pictures taken with the Gear 2 upload automatically to the Note 8. I'm not sure what you may be referring to by "IR." The watch and phone pair with Bluetooth and there is no Infrared on the Note 8. Let me know what you're after and I see what I can find.
IR refers to the Infra Red remote control on the Watch. I have stock Tizen running on my Gear 2 so I want to use the Infra Red remote on the watch.
I see my local phone stores have the Note8 on display for customers to demo. I will carry the watch to the store and see if it could pair successfully to their Notes and I can see notifications. Hopefully I can signin to my Samsung Account from the demo phones in the store... and hopefully I can remove everything after.
Yes, I had forgotten about the IR function and app on the Gear 2 as I don't use it. The Note 8 does not have any IR functionality, but I can't imagine that the Note 8 will in anyway interfere with that functionality on the Gear 2.
Yes, the Gear 2 is dated. However, it's the camera and it's convenience (especially when traveling) that keeps me hanging on to it!
I have the Gear 2 and the Note 8 phone, and can say they do pair just fine. Most of the watches functionality works as normal, but since the Note 8 phone has Bixby, and not S voice, no voice input on the watch works at all. This is just Samsung abandoning their tech like always, because the S2, and S3 got updated to work with S voice onboard the watch, because of the lack of the app on the phone.
I have a rooted gear 2 that I had been using with my LG G4, I just got an unlocked Note 8 and I have been having trouble pairing it. I've been trying to do it through the Android Wear app, should I reset it and try again through the Samsung software?

Not sure if you're running Android or Tizen. I upgraded to Tizen when it became available from Samsung.
Never tried to pair with the Android Wear app. However, when you pair the watch with a new phone you have no choice but to factory reset the watch.

I'm using Tizen, however my phone doesn't see the watch at all and neither does the gear 2 see the note.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Install the Samsung Gear app on the Note 8
2. Enable Bluetooth on the Note 8
3. Startup the Gear app on the Note 8 and begin the pairing process by selecting "Connect new Gear"
4. Factory reset the Gear 2 and wait for it to finish resetting.
5. You may need to restart the pairing process in the Note 8 Gear app if it takes too long.
Good luck.
