Hi ive searched a heck of a lot for info about compatibilty of the samsung gear s2 smartwatch with the htc one A9 but nothing. I know there is a list of compatible phones but i know there is a lot of devices that are compatible with the gear s2 and are not on that list. So is the gear s2 compatible with the htc one A9 running marshmallow 6.0.1? And if so does all the functions work with it? Ive read that the gear s2 was having problems with marshmallow devices like the nexus 6p but that info is from last year? Any updates from that? Thanks in advance!
Why buying a Tizen watch when you can get an Android Wear one?
I got one i just like the gear s2!

hi dudes,
I'm wondering, did someone try the new samsung Gear fit with the HTC one mini ?
Does it work ?
Thanks
You better wait for HTC's wearable
Good Morning Everybody,
So I am now rocking an Asus Zenwatch 3 and since the Android Wear 2.0 update is not coming, I am trying to get myself a new smartwatch.
I am thinking either to buy the Gear S3 or to stay on Android Wear 2.0 and going for the Huawei Watch 2 Classic or LG Watch Style.
My phone is not a Samsung and I don't intend in getting one soon, I currently have the Google Pixel XL and in a couple of days switching to the Blackberry Keyone.
Question, is this watch worthed and useful?
Does it work well with a non Samsung Device?
How's Tizen compare to Android Wear?
Thanks
The whole functionality you'll only get with a Samsung phone from 4.3/4.4. (Samsung Store/Pay, watch updates and so on often failes on different android-phones)
Some Android-phones are completely not supported (not only because of root and custom roms..), like my Mediapad X2...

(AndroidWear is working fine on my phone, without any limitations, also 2.0 update with my Huawei Watch 1)
I switched from using an LG to a Samsung phone with the S3.There was very little additional functionality gained. Here's a chart that compares all the features across Samsung, Android, and iOS devices.

Thank you guys
Well, I'm using it with the Blackberry Priv and I don't have any issues at all. It is connected via Bluetooth. I logs my walks, hikes and bike rides and I can view the info on the watch or in the S-health app on the Priv. I can update or install apps and watch faces from the Priv. I have been using S-pay which I still find weirdly fun to do!!!! But the Priv still runs Marshmallow. I don't know any details but there are or may be issues with Nougat on some aspects of the Gear S3 (others can let you know if S-pay works).
I'm also active on the Crackberry forum and there have been a few discussions of the Gear S3 there. There's also a Keyone thread and maybe you could ask for info.

Thank you. I will do
I'm using the S3 with a Moto G4 and everything works with no restrictions. Don't feel like you need a Samsung phone to use all the features.

What does the comment help all those who do not have all the functions with his android phone?
Or what is the general benefit of this observation?
Additionally, the thread creator has no Moto G4 -
if I am not wrong
I have been using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as the carrier with earlier a Gear S2 and now Gear S3 Frontier (and Moto 360 prior to the Gear watches), and absolutely love my S3.
The key aspects of the watch which I find very useful - The rotating dial and unique interface, excellent battery, nice in built S-Health, Samsung-Pay, etc should work with all Android phones. With Gear app and S-Health app available in Google App-store, anyone with an Android phone can install them and make use of them.
The other features I also like very much is ability to sync all messages and email on the S3 itself since I use the Samsung native messaging and email app on my Note5. This I believe will be the only things not available with other Android devices.
Overall - The message/email syncing, S-Pay from wrist, decent stock health tracking app, very intuitive and nice interface with rotating bezel, and extremely competitive battery life (I get 4 days with Always on Display off) has made me absolutely adore the S3.

I had a rooted oneplus 3T and could not install the gear apps from the playstore. I wont be able to tell you if you can get the apps from playstore if you are un-rooted because i have never tried it.
I did managed to get the gear apps from this thread by xda member j to the 4n

Mine is not rooted and by looking at google play i can download every app samsung has to offer regarding smartwatches
So in that case it'll work?
I would prefer you get the confirmation that it works form someone who is actually using the gear S3 with unrooted oneplus 3T
I had both device by 3 months: Samsung gear s3 classic (not lte) work perfectly with oneplus 3t (not rooted with original factory rom oxygen os by oneplus)
All feature of gear s3 work perfect with no workaround, I follow the istruction on display
Hi there, it looks like Samsung has not forgotten our beloved Gear S2 yet.
Just received a major update. Gear S2 is now at Tizen 2.3.2.7, software version R732XXU2FRC1.
I see some significant UI style changes and updates in S Health.
do you have a link?

I am afraid not, it was pushed to my phone OTA.
Quite some changes actually, S Health seems to have received a complete overhaul.

Could this update be the reason my watch no longer recognizes my book reader TTS with the music controls as it used to? I'm trying to find some way to get those controls back, as that was a major reason why I purchased the watch in the first place.

Yes that's it exactly! I am even more excited now, I didn't know I can use the S2 as Gear VR controller yet. Going to try it a.s.a.p.!

I don't know if that's the classic, but if so, I have the same one as you and I got the update. I think everybody got it at the same time regardless of Gear S2 model.
It was supposed to quote the guy with the T-Mobile Gear S2 but I guess not...
My Gear S2 is the Verizon 3G version (R730V) and no update is coming through the Android Gear App yet. I'm using a Verizon MVNO, but I don't know if that would stop it from being accessed.
My current Tizen version is 2.3.2.2.
I think the Gear VR controller functionality could be cool.

I tried it yesterday. It can be useful, but less so if you already have a Gear VR Controller.
The S2 as VR controller is not a device which you can see in the virtual world and use as a laser pointer like the Gear VR Controller. It is more like a wrist replacement of the touchpad on the right side of the Gear VR. So you can use the watch face to swipe, scroll, and tap to select. Besides, you can allocate a function to bezel rotation, like setting the volume.
I keep getting "update failed" when attempting to install it. Anyone else?
Gets to 10% then reboots and says failed. I have tried a factory reset, but still the same.
Hello everyone!!
I just got a Samsung Gear S3 as a father's day gift.
It's a very good looking smartwatch, but honestly I dont like Tizen OS.
Is there any way to change this TIZEN OS for Android Wear OS??
Thank you.
There I still no way to root and change the OS of the Gear in Android Wear. You can go to this thread and check the progress they are on it but no one can say when it finally happens.

No Android is correct.
No Rooting is not fully correct...

After installing the stang5litre 5.0 non-mdk
can't install the samsung wearable app from play store, said the app is no longer compatible with my device. This app is needed to pair and connect to my samsung galaxy S3 frontier smartwatch. My phone is the samsung S4 sch-i545 build of1, I downgraded from from PL1 to OF1 in order to run this rom.
