i tried connecting the gear to other phone it worked, but with my note it is not working , any suggestions ?
***Update - Never mind fixed it by a factory reset of my phone
Connecting to phone with S2
I try to make a phone call from my watch and get the message "connect to bluetooth" I touch the tick for yes and my watch and phone are connected straight away. It never seems to connect otherwise, but connects every time this way, so that's what I do. Wrong way, but it works

For Future Reference - Ideal way to reconnect if you face issues
Ideally, you would not need a full reset of your phone, clearing the data of all the following should work fine -
1) Gear Manager
2) Samsung Accessory Service
3) Samsung Accessory System Providers

Hey
Got the Gear on release, and have ever since had problems with getting it to reconnect to my Note 3 on phone reboot.
I have no problems with the gear. If i turn it off, or get out of range from my phone it just reconnects no problem.
But if i reboot my phone, the only way to get it to reconnect is by factory resetting the Gear 2. In the gear manager it just hangs.
Ive tried the following:
- Factory reset my Note 3 - Fail
- Tried removing the pairing in gear manager and the reconneting - Fail
- Tried removing the pairing in bluetooth settings - Fail
The only way i can get it to work again is by factory resetting the Gear 2
And ever since i updatede to 4.2.2 I get random reboots on the phone. So it makes it a real hassel to reset the Gear every time..
Anybody else have any issues? Ideas? Help?
Cheers in advance.
Gear Manager won't connect to Note 3
At least you got it to connect in the first place. I've got a rooted Note 3 with a custom ROM. Just got my Gear 2 Neo yesterday. Gear manager won't connect at all, rendering the watch completely useless. I connected to my wife's S4 just fine, but it won't connect to my phone at all.
I've factory reset the Gear - no luck.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Gear manager - no luck.
Tried Xposed root cloak - no luck.
Reflashed my ROM with five different kernels - no luck.
Installed an older version of Gear manager - no luck.
Tried installing the APKs from connection fix for non-Samsung phones here at XDA - no luck.
What's left to try before I send it back for a refund?
Folks hopefully someone can help me with this problem.
I have the gear S3 Frontier and its been perfect since launch but since the last update R760XXU2BQC5 my Bluetooth seems to have gone a little wonky.
My phone is Samsung s7 Edge but since this update my gear refuses to reconnect to the phone at any stage automatically. I can manually reconnect it no problem but this is basically making my gear unusable. Once I leave Bluetooth range the watch goes into stand alone mode and will never come out of it. I've to search again via Bluetooth on my phone to reconnect.
I've tried resetting the gear deleting the gear app on my phone and I cannot get it to work.
Any help greatly appreciated
I had the same problem on my Note 4. I had to reset the watch, then on your phone, go to settings, application manager and look for gear. You'll see that there are 2 entries on the list, named "gear s plug in" and "samsung gear". You need to clear all the data from both of these. Now delete the samsung gear app, reinstall it and this should fix your issue. This was trial and error to begin with, but if you follow these exact steps you should be fine.
Legend mate cheers I deleted one but never noticed the second one
Nice one, did that fix it?
Did for me as I had the exact same problem (thanks Google)
Got my S8+ at launch, reset my Gear 2 running Tizen and quickly had it paired using both the Gear app and Samsung Health.
Everything was running just fine until a about a week ago when the pairing stopped. I decided to reset the Gear 2 and re-pair it to my S8+.
After several unsuccessful tries, here's what happens:
1. Reboot phone and wait for boot to complete.
2. Start the Gear app (v2.2.17022862) on the phone.
3. From the Gear app select "Connect new Gear."
4. Power on the Gear 2 and select "Next / Next"
5. Back to the app on the phone select "Gear 2 (XXXX)"
6. Get a Blue tooth pairing request on both devices and confirm on both of them.
7. The Gear 2 shows "Waiting for confirmation from Gear Manager" and the Gear app on the phone shows "Connecting to Gear..."
8. Minutes pass and nothing else happens.
IOW, the Bluetooth pairing is successful but the actual link between the devices never finishes.
Any idea what I might try next to get this working?
TIA,
RIch
Having similar issue. eventually got a connection failed. This worked originally then I did the OTA update (I have an unlocked S8+) and the Bluetooth started acting up.
One post said unpair everything and now I cant get the phone to reconnect. Eventually Bluetooth recognizes the Gear2 and the Gear Manager (as disconnected).... and the watch stays in that factory reset mode.
Not sure exactly how, but I got mine working. After unpairing the Bluetooth connection, I also cleared the cache and data on both the Samsung Gear app and the Samsung Health app then removed both apps from my S8+ rebooting many times along the way. After reinstalling the Gear app and the Health app I was able to eventually get the pairing to be successful.
Sorry I can offer better detailed guidance. I hope you get yours working again too.
Thanks... I tried clearing S-Health's\Samsung Connect cache, unpairing the watch, deleting Gear Manager, and restarting. That didn't work. I'll give it another try.
Just out of curiosity, have you disabled anything like Bixby or Svoice? I have both disabled... I tried reenabling them before but that didn't help.
Nope. While I don't use either, both Bixby and SVoice remain active. Sorry I can't help more.
Hi,
I got a Samsung S3 Frontier, but it won't connect to the app anymore, even though it does connect to my phone.
I've tried everything, even factory resets. After the factory reset it works for a while but after that it just won't connect to the gear app anymore. I'm reading that quite some people have this problem, but I didn't find a solution for me yet.
I've done all the updates.
In short:
Is connected to my phone through bluetooth
If I press 'connect' on the gear app, it says it can't connect
It works for a bit after a factory reset, but overnight the problem reoccurs
The watch is saying it's in standalone mode
Device specs:
OnePlus 6 A6003
Gear S3 Frontier SM-R760
I hope someone knows a solution to this annoying problem
I have the same issue. S3 shows no connection symbol.
Nothing helps:
- Restart phone
- Restart S3
Have you found a solution?
Hello, i've got a non Samsung phone. Recently there has been a bug with recently released gw4 plugin app. Bug is that wear app force prompt user to update the app although its already up to date so wear app doesnt open and watch cant connect to phone.
Reinstalled the wear app and plugin apps on watch. During pairing setup stage "Getting your watch ready" it always stuck at 80-90% and doesnt complete setup so watch cant connect to phone. Cleared cache on watch via recovery menu but didnt help. Tried connecting another phone but watch doesnt allow it without factory resetting. I dont want to reset watch as i have some health and watch settings data on it that hasnt been backed up yet. There is an adb trick to connect wearos watches to another phone without resetting but seems like it doesnt work with wearos 3. Cant manually pull the data from watch via wifi debugging either because it's not rooted. Any solution would be much appreciated. Cheers
