No cause the gear 2 is more powerful than the sw2
Gear 2 runs Tizen, no way the SW2 can handle that
Does this watch work with both phones? Will buy if so.
Thanks guys.
Yes, it works. I use it with a Z5 Premium.
I just noticed, that I cannot update S2 Firmware, since my Z5 is encrypted. That is not supported by S2.
what apps work with the Z5, i want to get the compact but afraid the t-mo version watch wont play well.( sms reply, email, calls)
ı was using gear s2 classic with xperia compact z5 nearly one year. it is not rooted and a orginal android 7 ver of sony. Today s2 opened as usual but never connected. Just cleared all the apk in my phone but it did not made things better.... reset my s2 to fab setting but it never connected. in the connection period it hang on and in the end it says "it takes too long do you want to continue...". when i opened gear app in my phone to look the gear market i saw the "not supporting gear"... the issue may be the gear apk updated newly.. is there any for the same problem?? samsung service did not answered yet...

Hi all,
I'm looking at buying my first smart watch and the gear s2 seems to tick all the boxes for me. However, I've come across the gear app and plugin app in the play store and the reviews are terrible, with users bringing up issues with connectivity dropouts and the like.
I just wondered on your experiences on non-samsung phones with the S2?
(I'm on Nexus 6P, non rooted, 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I have a GS2 Classic paired to a Moto Droid Turbo 2. Generally, no problems.
Occasional disconnects after upgrading to Nougat, but less than one/week.

There are few differences in features available on the watch when using Samsung phone vs other brands. I know this first hand because I switched from a LG to a Samsung. But don't take my word for it, here's a chart that highlights the differences.

Fine on xperia Z5C
All go fine on p9 lite. No issues and good connectivity.
However you can pair with all Android (4.3+) and at least 1.5GB of RAM. I read that you can pair the watch to smartphones with 1GB of RAM, but you have to modify Samsung Manager apk, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/pair-gear-s2-moto-g-t3323385.
Yes you can use it with smartphone that has 1GB of RAM, but you need to use a modified Samsung Gear app.
Modified Samsung Gear app is available on my blog, I will try to update it as frequently as possible.

First experience I connect Gear S2 to Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Connection without problem but Gear app crashed. I solve it by installing older version of Gear app from APK mirror ( app from april 2016). It have no limitation. It was probably caused by ROOT.
Next I connect it to Moto Z play. No problem at all.
using non samsung phones we lost all the paid apps, right?
That s*cks :/

App purchases are tied to your Samsung account, not the device. They only need be purchased once. Devices can be changed at will.
Hi everyone,
I want to use Samsung GearVR with Sony Xperia XZ Premium as it has 801 PPI , Samsung gear VR only works with Samsung s7, s8 or s9 ...
So,Is it possible to install samsung s7 frimware on xperia premium like custom rom so i can use samsung gear software and oculus services?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: It's hard enough to get custom roms to work on the phones they're built for, let alone try and make a stock rom run on another brand of phone.
There's an even longer more in depth answer but just go with: no.
