Unfortunately i don't get any connection with my Gear S2 and my Note edge. I have the Gear Manager from the Samsung App Store and Android 5.0.1 (no root)..
Maybe some of you have the same problem and a solution.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english...

Go to http://apps.samsung.com/Gear and click Samsung device. I think the Gear S2 has a newer Gear manager which is not on Samsungs app store. It should be on Google Play store.

Thank you for your replay. The App in the Play Store is only for non Samsung phones. I can not install this Version on my Note Edge.
The other Version is the same like the App in the Samsung App Store.
I'm having a similar issue on my SM-N9200. No matter what I try when attempting to connect the S2 with gear manager nothing works. From everything I can tell I have the latest version and there are no updates available in the Samsung store, or software updates. Very frustrating.
Okay, and im assuming you have tried to factory reset the Gear S2 and toggle the Bluetooth on and off on your phone? When the gear manager app scans for devices, does your watch show up as discovered? Or does it not show up at all. Can you search for the watch by going to the Bluetooth utility on your watch? I guess the last step would be to contact Samsung support on this issue. It seems like there have been a lot of known bugs since the release of the watch.

I already speak with the samsung support. BUt they know now soluton. The will check my problem and maybe they will fix the bug.
When i scan with bluetooth directly i can find the watch but the gear manager will not find the watch. i also make a factory reset after i check if the watch works with an old LG G2, it does, but not with the note edge.

No, I think the watch is okay because the watch works with the lg g2 and the gear manager for non samsung devices but not with the note edge and the gear manager for galaxy devices.
I think it is a software problem from the gear manager.
Oh yeah, if you can connect with another device then it has to be software.

What Android version and gear manager version do you have?
An update to Gear Manager has been released and the Note Edge can now connect to the Gear S2
And the Play Store update to the Gear app from yesterday has borked my BT connection on my Nexus 5 that I also upgraded to Marshmallow. S2 will no longer connect to Nexus 5.
I can't seem to get my S2 to connect to my LG G3 running 5.1.1 BLisspop.
I think I might just have to return this.
schitt.
Connection to Note 3
I can confirm this does not work on my Note 3 unless I'm running a Touchwiz rom. I had (and loved) the AICP rom and none of these files will help it connect. I get the standard "modified software" message. When I installed the stock rom w/tweaks, it connects fine.
So I couldn't use the "Samsung phone" version of Gear manager because while it's a Samsung phone, it wasn't running Samsung software. But I couldn't use the "Non-Samsung phone" version because it still sees it as a Samsung phone and I get the "incompatible with this device" message.
I have to decide between the AICP rom and my old Gear Live or the touchwiz garbage (w/Nova launcher to hide it) and the Gear S2..
same problem here
Hi Guys,
I have same problem. I got Gear S2 Classic from Korea and it won't connect to my S6 Edge. I downloaded to latest gear manager app version 2.2.15092142 . but it still won't connect and give message "check if your phone is compatible and if the gear manager app needs to be updated, then try again" I have factory reset both the phone and the gear but still same issue.
anyone got a solution?
Thanks

Hey guys... I'm running Android 5.1.1 with 3GB ram on my Z3 Tab w/4G Sim - I can't get the Gear app installed through the Play store - is there any other way to (manually?) install the app?

Thanks for that link... I installed those two files on the Z3 and then ran the Gear app - it responds "Gear not found. Turn your Gear on and try again."
Z3 Bluetooth settings I can see the Z3 paired with the S2 but the Gear app doesn't see the watch.
Then the watch goes into continuously "setting up..." with S2 showing image of watch>blue circle>phone and it never finishes setting up... eventually, the S2 says "Setup is taking longer than expected. Try again?"
I've tried powering everything off and on again - same result.
If I don't manually pair in settings - nothing happens. Gear app still can't see S2.
On the Z3 it shows two available Bluetooth devices when the S2 is switched on: Gear S2 and "PCS-REVII-010068" - I can pair the Gear S2 manually but if I try to connect the "PCS" device (whatever that is?) Z3 says "Can't communicate with PCS-REVII-010068"
Any ideas? Much Thanks!.

Hi! Any update? Same situation but with galaxy tab a...
I created an thread about how to pair the Z3 Tablet compact or a none compatible device to the phone but deleted cos it was old and there was no comments. if it is not compatible it wont work because it's not a samy devices and the tab it's not a phone. the only way to make it work it's a little bit complicated and the Samsung store won't work to shop for apps but everything else does. I have my watch pair to my Z3 tablet compact ever since I bought the gear s2 4g watch.

I had problems syncing it with my Z3 too.
What I did was install this apps, in this order:
Samsung Gear https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager
Gear Plugin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gearoplugin
Accessory Service https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory
Install those apps, restart the phone (delete the Gear S2 from Bluetooth devices if you had already tried to install it), enable bluetooth, start the watch, open Gear App and it will sync.
Thanks - I sent the Gear S2 back to Amazon when it wouldn't work with my Z3
There is a paid app by Mobiteka called Gear Navigator Companion on the Gear S2 app store. The app needs a free app by the same name to be installed on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiteka.navigator&hl=en
The app supposedly uses the Google Maps api to offer navigation and street view on your Gear S2. I installed the free Android app on my Galaxy Note 5 and purchased the app for the Gear S2. However the app always fails to get installed on the watch with the message "Unable to continue without your Gear connected. Connect your mobile device to your Gear and try again". This happens despite the fact that my Gear S2 is very much connected to my phone and is receiving notifications just fine.
I have left a negative review on the Gear app store and will update this post if and when the problem gets fixed.
Update (on 01 December 2015)
The developer contact me within 10 hours of my review and offered some helpful suggestions on how to get the app working. To be on the safe side, I conducted a factory reset of my Gear S2 and repaired the watch with my phone and the app managed to get installed on the first try. It works well with the companion app on the phone and I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. I have modified my review to give it 4 stars.

I have exactly the same problem, very disappointing. Only received the watch for Christmas and straightaway I hit a problem.
I'm sorry to of your problems, I too received mine for christmas this morning. Have root s5 and connect right away and updated not a single problem so far.( Other not enough apps for my likeing )
Going to ask the obvious, have you tried reseting the watch ?
Hi all,
Mine was just the same issue, after reading a bit you should reset the watch after updating and the phone too. But disconnect and erase the connection phone <-> watch too. After new pairing all was ok.

Can you explain steps required? I have same issue after gear manager update. I would like not to hard reset my phone. I'm on non-rooted Note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1. It used to work excellent until last update.

I did back track latest apps installs and updates on my phone and I wonder if Gear Manager is main source of the problem.
Night before I discovered that gear manager stopped working correctly, I did mandatory update for few of Oculus apps for my Gear VR.
My question is: do people with Gear Manager problem have any Oculus apps installed on their phones?

Hi there,
just new to this forums.
Do you use the standard Samsung Software to connect your Gear S3 to the phone or some third party tools?
I tried to sync a Gear fit2 with the samsung gear software.. The devices connect but no software downloads can be done. Maybe this has something to do with missing software rights?
Thank you for a quick heads up.

I have both, and they work fine until I move away from my phone and they disconnect. My issue is that when I go back close to my phone, sometimes they don't reconnect automatically.
Not sure if it's something I need to change in phone's settings?
It wasn't happening with the watch and my old Galaxy S4...
The reconnection issue is something that I had using my S3 note and the old Gear1.
Was fixed with the newest software versions.
Which software components do you use connectiong your Gear S3 to the Mi5?

I have been using the pair for couple of weeks. It works fine for call and notification but it sometimes randomly disconnected even they sat next to each other. I'm trying to setup permission for those app/plugin. Nothing seems to work (still keeping disconnected) any suggestions?

Hi,
I solved my issue with upgrading my OS version to 6.0.1 (Marshmallow). I am using Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and experienced all issues you mentioned prior upgrading.
best of luck
I just got this watch yesterday and I am trying to set up Samsung Pay on it. As far as I know it is the US Version unless the Amazon seller lied. I am in the USA with a Galaxy Note 4 (6.0.1) paired, and when I turn on NFC in connections on the watch, and go to tap and pay, it says "no installed payment apps." I have tried installing Samsung Pay for Gear apks from online that all gave me the error "Unable to continue using Samsung Pay. Your gear may not be supported." Is there any way that anyone knows to get this working? Holding down the back button on the watch does nothing. I have checked for updates within the Gear app and it says I am up to date, yet there is no "Samsung Pay" section in the settings side of my Gear Manager app.
From Gear App itself:
Samsung Gear App Version: 2.2.17022862
Gear S Plugin Version: 2.2.03.17051161
From the Gear:
Tizen 2.3.2.2
Software R732...EQC1
Knox 2.0
From phone's app manager:
Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.41_170404
SASystemProviders 2.3.99
Are there other application dependencies that I may need to update? When I was setting up the watch it seemed to have trouble so I had to update everything from apk's online, also I had a Gear 2 Neo before this.
The SPay versions I tried were 1.2 and 1.4 and I tried installing the SPay Framework 2.7
The Samsung Pay app doesn't show up in the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store.
I've been reading the forums and it appears as though SPay got off to a rocky start for Gear S2, is it still like that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In my Gear S2 I did not need to install any APK. Just click on the "Samsung Pay" option in the Gear app for smartphone and it automatically downloaded the applications and installed them automatically.
I have a Gear S2 3G, Tizen 2.3.2.1 and I live in Brazil and I did not have any problems.

No it should be all US but I would like to verify with the serial number or something but I don't know how
Don't know if this is resolved, but it could be that the SPay only works when connected to an SPay compatible phone. I have been using it since the Note5 (now have an S8) with no issues, other than the rocky start of setting up cards. There is a separate app in the galaxy store that updates the gear SPay and phone SPay. Everytime there is an update to SPay, I get a download for my gear and a download for my phone. If you can't find it in the galaxy store, it may be because the phone is not supported.

See that's what I thought, but that was when I had my Galaxy Note 4. Now I've upgraded to a Galaxy S8+ (unlocked USA version) so I should have no issues. Maybe resetting the Gear S2 in some way will fix it, I'll have to try. It did do a "light reset" when I connected it to my new phone. Thanks for the input though!
UPDATE
A factory reset did not fix the issue. Still unresolved

I have US Gear S2 Classic SM-R732. FW R732XXU2EQH1, Tizen 2.3.2.2.
Samsung pay works fine. Both with Note 4, Note 5 and Note 8. In fact it also works without phone present, just tap and pay just wearing your watch (and some clothes ?)
Activation of Samsung Pay is to long press top button... Doing so for the first time it asks you to do necessary steps to activate Samsung Pay... then add cards... ready.
Suggest to try this first!
NFC of phone is not playing a part at all.
Samsung Pay also worked with two previous FW versions.

Yes the issue here is that long pressing the button does not open anything, I'm on the same firmware version.
Tizen version nor Model Name nor Firmware Version nor CSC Version is the "magic" identification part...
It is simple active CSC/ Sales Code on device... Factory written... and hidden for normal End User... no idea why...
Example:
Code:
DBT for Germany
XAR for US
You could identify your active Sales Code via Tool SDB for instance... alternate way is to check few files from Gear S Plugin... on Android handset...
In THEORY it is possible to force SPay... but dangerous sideeffects possible...
Example for 1 forced way to enable SPay... look at Video:

Here you can see, how 1 user checked his active CSC... Sales Code... few Screenshots visible... maybe then more clear...:

same problem here
I have a S2 Sport and a Galaxy S7 both bought in the U.S but I live in Brazil.
Samsung pay works fine on the S7, but doesnt show up on gear manager.
Long pressing the back button on the gear does nothing.
i found an apk "Samsung pay for gear plugin" online and installed it, but when I opened said my gear was not found or not compatible
