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, I have a Google Maps Case and previously had a Pixel XL. I wanted to get the My Live Case working on a Galaxy S8 Plus. I can install the app but get it to activate / apply the wallpaper.
Is it possible?
I have the same issue on my Pixel 2 live case, did you manage to figure it out?
Hey guys, I've got a Samsung Gear Fit 2 that I just bought up from Amazon and I've got an issue. While Samsung says the devices are compatible with one another, the Gear app isn't, and it's driving me insane. Does anyone have a fix for this compatibility issue? I can't get past the compatibility lock, and when I've used previous bypasses by the devs I'm caught by the plugin and accessory lock. Any help?
Thanls for the information...

Hello everybody,
Is there a way to use the Galaxy Watch 4 with an iPhone?
Maybe to install another Rom on the Watch to make it to an Galaxy Watch 3 or something else to use it with an iPhone.
Sorry if the question has already been asked. Haven't found anything about it.
Thanks
