can we compile a list of incompatible issues of all non-samsung phone?
as i know, non-samsung phone ...
1 ) no message app
2) cannot get paid apps
3) no accept call green button.
... any others?
Hi there !
Just got my Gear S2 Classic.
My phone is Huawei Honor 7 and, bad luck, Gear app was not compatbile with my phone (message "not available for your phone" on Android Play Store)
So, I've install all what was needed on my Wife's Sony Z3 compact
I've transferred the APK on my Honor 7 and ..... It worked !!
There are 3 APK to install
I am having another problem which I am pretty sure is due to not having a Samsung phone (nexus 6 running AICP).
I cannot log in to my Samsung account to download any apps (or I think to get app upgrades). When I first attach the watch after a reset I can access my Samsung account but after about a day I can no longer do so getting a message that due to inactivity my account has been logged out. When I try to log in, I get a progress circle for about 10 seconds and nothing happens.
Not a big deal since there are very few apps in which I am interested but annoying nonetheless.

Did you try to turn on "samsung gear" on "protected app"?
When it connected, can you access gear app store and install any gear app?
I'm thinking about switching from mediapad x2 to P8max because I got a blank app store issue. And I want to make sure P8 max do not have that problem first
Hi , I rooted my p8max and removed phone manager so has no security like that , connects when driving or screen on but when walking etc disconnects , Bluetooth streaming also cuts out , p8max streams music perfect to my LG tone BT phones .

When I did not root phone , tried putting gear manager in protected apps , did not make a difference
I've just purchased P8 max and it work perfectly fine with my gear s2 classic. No problem at all! I'm running stock rom, not rooted

I have a LG V10 H961N when Gear S2 are disconected bluetooth and Lg V10 have screen off Gear S2 doesn´t conected again auto i must screen on to conected again. Any fix for this??
Have a 'sport' S2 and Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro here.
Managed to install Samsung Gear app. Phone paired to watch over bluetooth just fine.
But when I launch Samsung Gear app and select my watch, it says Download Failed. Looks like some kind of incompatibility or lack of permissions. What do I do?

I have just bought a gear 2 neo smartwatch and cannot get it connected with my phone. I have a samsung galaxy s2 model # sght989d. The phone is running cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.3). The watch will pair with my phone and receive calls no problem however I cannot get it initialized to even use it as a clock lol. All I see when I turn on the watch is "To Connect your Gear, first download Gear Manager via Samsung Apps on you're mobile device" with an option to show a preview video or hit next. I have tried multiple version of gear manager and got the phone to pair no problem however it is not an available device. I understand that it will never fully work with my phone due to how old it is and its lacking a bunch of features. I just want to use the basic features and have the time on my wrist is this possible.
Thank You :good:

Have you tried this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862
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 in advance.

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

Before the update there was neve a Problem.
Here the Problem: If i make a choise ex. Clockdesign or other choise sreen go to my choise for 1 sec. than it goes back to groundmenu. I have done more options ex. deinstal, instal a older version, but older versions dont work,
I have called the Samsung seevice but they cant help.
I cant use my Gear S2 with the Gear S2 Plugin
Have anyone the same problem can anyone help?
I have exactly the same problem. Received Gear S2 for Christmas and Gear Manager App has exactly the same problem as you. I have a Note 3 phone. It's a very bad experience when both my sons have iwatches and do not have any problems with their devices.

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,
First question :
I'm still wondering why tab s2 is not in the official supported devices list by Samsung?
Second question :
Is there any way to pair the gear s2 with the tab s2?
So far I tried some tutorials in some posts around here, but no luck: gear manager won't detect my gear s2 on my tab s2...I guess its because it's just impossible?
Let me know if there is something else to try
Many thanks!
No chance to make it work together ?! Sad !
Anyway, Merry Christmas to All
I tested on my friend's tab s2. It even did not detect my gear s2 on bluetooth pairing. Really like the tab but not buying it because of this problem

Hi, just to let you know I got it to work! Here is what I did :
Rooted tab s2 t715y
Edited the build prop (via app available on playstore) changed device type to phone and device name to the note 4 model number as this is what the tab s2 basically is
Just by doing this my tablet was able to pair with the watch!
I haven't changed the device type back yet, the only issue at the moment is that the dialer on the tablet isnt visible.
Also I have not been able to use att number sync yet, I will call them in the morning.
Let me know if this works.
I have the att 3g model by the way.
---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------
Ok so I changed it back to tablet mode and everything is working normally. I'm getting notifications etc and my tab s2 dialer is working fine too.
And the Gear Manager app on the tab recognizes your watch?
Tab S2 (T817T) paired connected to Gear S2
I also have rooted my Tab S2 (T817T) and paired and connected it to my Gear S2 Watch. The tablet recognizes the watch and the GearApp recognizes and connects to it as well. However, under the Notifications sections (notifications to be sent to watch) "messages" is not available as an option to forward messages from my tablet's native message app to the phone. I also cannot connect to the Gear App store to download and install apps from the tablet to the watch. Have you experienced this and found a fix?
It needs to be rooted.
What needs to be rooted? Are you saying the watch needs to be rooted?
biggboii: yes it is working without any issues other than the limitations of tizen. I can leave my tablet at home and still get texts and whatsapp messages on my watch. I havent been able to use ATT's "number sync' which basically sounds like call forwarding . I still havent had time to try setting call forwarding manually.
The Tab s2 needs to be rooted.
i can access the gear app store , it does crash on the first try every now and then.
As for messages , I can receive and send text messages as well as whatsapp messages through a bluetooth connection and 3G remote connection.
I did not do anything different then what I mentioned above , it just seems to work. again my watch is the ATT version so I dont know if things are different with the bluetooth version.
the gear app is very limiting though. I wish there was a way to change the watch's OS to android.
can't get it to work, gear manager keep saying device not found
any suggestions?

do you have the att version of the watch?
I have a rooted T715Y and did the things I mentioned in the post above and it worked.
make sure your tablet is rooted and that you change the model to that of a note 4 (using a build prop editor)
then make sure you change the "device type" from tablet to phone.
thats all I did and after the watch was synced up with the tablet I changed the settings back.
I also can't connect my GearS3 with my TabS2. Send numorous emails to Samsung, and so far their responses are dissapointing. Feel cheated. This two devices are supposedly their flagship products.
Hello I have question, do you know if Mi 5 is compatible with the smartwatch Samsung s 3?
I am going to buy but I am not sure if both of them are working together.

Yes i have both of them and they are working well.
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 believe they are the latest?
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?
