non samsung phone compatibility issues

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

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?

No connection to LG G Watch since 6.0 update.

Hey guys,
2 days ago I updated my German z5 due pcc to Android 6.0. Since that I'm facing issues with my smartwatch. Directly after the update, I didn't get any connection to my watch again. I tried do reset the watch and installed android wear app new. Luckily the first connection is always possible, but after first setup I´m not able to connect again. Does anyone has another hint, then reset my z5 like the support of Sony did? I don´t have the feeling, that a reset would, because it is obviously a Bluetooth issue. Thanks for any help and see the screenshot attached. The screenshot shows, how android wear is always stopping when trying to get a connection.

Update:
Yesterday something strange happened. I settled my watch the whole day in it's loading station and in the evening I saw, that my watch was muted like my phone was. When I opened up android wear, I saw my watch was connected, also every app was synced. So I started to install some new wear app and the all get synced. But when I pulled up my watch from the loading station, the connection immediately got lost and until now, I'm not able to connect again. Now I'm pretty sure it is an Bluetooth bug, coming with the android 6.0 update of my z5.

Completely remove the device, then re-add it and set as trusted device

So I have been reading about and there are loads of bluetooth issues with Marshmallow even with googles own Nexus devices I know it's not going to help you... http://ausdroid.net/2015/11/17/google-working-fix-nexus-6p-bluetooth-issues/ so I think google need to understand what the problem is a provide a fix for the other manufacturers to include.
My best guess is bluetooth is not behaving nicely in the new google ART cache which is supposed to fully replace delvik in Marshmallow.

No notifications

Since I updated my Pixel to Android 8.0 Oreo about a month ago, I don't get any notifications any more. The only thing that seems to be working is phone calls which I can see on my gear.
What I've tried to do, to solve it:
- Cleared data for the Gear app
- Uninstalled and reinstalled all Samsung applications
- Factory reset the Gear
- Checked that the Gear app has permission to notifications
- Checked that the Gear has the latest firmware
- Rebooted my Pixel
- Tried to connect my Gear S3 to a Huawei phone running Android 7.0 (notifications worked)
- Contacted Google that said the issue probably is because the Samsung app doesn't support Oreo
- Contacted Samsung that said Google is "probaby right" and I'll have to wait for an firmware update for the Gear which they have no ETA for?
If Google is right, everyone with Oreo should have this problem? Or atleast someone else? Is that the case?

I have Oreo beta on my Nokia 8 and have no problems which weren't present on nougat.
No issues with notifications.

Ok, does anyone else have any idea of what can be the issue for me?

I'm having the same issue. Also with my pixel. Tried everything you have also done. Almost at the stage I'm about to switch back to my old moto 360 until they release a patch. Not being able to receive any type of notification is a deal breaker for me.

have you tried to clean cache, stop the Bluetooth process on pixel and run it again?

Anybody got solution for this?
I upgraded OnePlus 3 to Oreo and notifications stopped showing on Gear.
Soon afterwards I upgraded Gear to Tizen 3 but that didi't solve problem.

The new software update that was released a few days ago solved the issue for me.

Exactly the same problems and frustrations
In short, have tried all the same actions as set out by yourself. No Gear 3 notifications started with Pixel upgrade to Android 8.0. Like others have stated here, makes wearing and relying on Gear watch very marginal. I bought Gear watch to pickup notifications when doing outdoors, relatively hands free sporting activities.
Everyone: please keep THIS discussion thread alive in search of eventual solution. Thanks. John, Sydney Australia

Same issues
I recently purchased a gear s3 Frontier watch, after much researching, it was the one that most fit my wants.
It is paired with my Pixel phone and for the first 3 or 4 days it worked great but now I don't receive any notifications at all except for Samsung Health... Notifications are all turned on but nothing comes through?
It seemed to have started with the Tizen 3.0 update. But could't say if it was immediately after or a day or two later. I've done multiple resets but nada.
Phone calls do come through to the watch but my phone doesn't ring anymore when the watch is connected..
No settings were changed on the watch or the phone app.. One day it worked fine, the next day, everything quit...
This is very disappointing... these notifications were the reason I wanted a smart watch in the first place.
Any idea whats going on?
The watch is SM-R760 running Tizen 3.0.0.1 version R760XXU2CQL1
Knox 2.2.0
Know Tizen 2.2.0
SE for Tizen 1.0.0
TIMA 3.0.0
Pixel Phone on Android 8.1.0

Snapdragon S8 on nougat with a similar problem. My notifications will disable themselves and the switch to turn them back on will be grayed out and unselectable. Only way to get them to work again is by rebooting the watch and the phone, but it will only work for a few hours until it's broken again.

I have a similar problem with my Oneplus 3.
Evertyhing worked fine until I updated my phone to OxygenOS 5.0.3 Android 8.0.0. Since then the Gear S3 doesn't receive any notification. The only one are phone calls.
The settings for notifications are on (in the Gear App and OS settings unchanged). Resetting the watch didn't change anything. Round about 2 times a day the gear looses the bluetooth connection for ~30 seconds which is new as well.
Resetting the phone is no option.
Any ideas or new information about this problem?

I reinstalled the Gear app, repaired and resetted the watch which didn't change anything.
Though I forget about the Samsung Accessory Service app. After reinstalling this, rebooting the phone and repairing the watch the notifitications are working again.
In the matter of connection loss I can't tell not yet.

I know this is an old thread, but I stopped getting notifications on my Oneplus 7 Pro - Android 10. I had to turn off battery optimization for the three Samsung apps - Galaxy Wear, Gear Plug in and Samsung Accessory Service. I now have notifications back.

Everyone who has a smart watch that can make BT phone calls has this problem.
The car kit connects as "Connected (no phone)."
This bug was introduced by Google with Pixel XL after 7.0.2 update, and they never fixed it.
Individual manufacturers fix this in their own Android skins except Google, Xaiomi and now Oneplus.
BTW, the bug was not present in 5.1.5. OOS, and was introduced in 5.1.6 or 5.1.7 (I skipped the 5.1.6 update.) So, it's likely that OP simply and lazily copied Google code at that point.
If you want to get rid of this annoyance, one possible way is to disable Phone Audio option in the watch BT properties on the phone.
Of course, you could also flash 5.1.5.

Then you couldn't talk and listen to phone calls on the watch. You could initiate and receive the phone calls on the watch, but the audio would automatically go to the phone instead.

General Problems pairing GW4 Classic with Pixel Pro 6

I've been having problems - the watch (Galaxy Watch 4) and phone (6 Pro) both pair initially just fine. But if I restart my phone, the phone won't reconnect to the watch, and the galaxy wearable app seems to have forgotten the watch. The only way to reconnect them is to reset the watch completely.
A further problem I seem to be having with the phone is that sometimes the "recents" button will just stop working. The only way to get it to work again so far has been to restart the phone. Which then brings me back to my pairing problem with the watch.
It's an annoying situation. Anyone else experience anything like this before?

No, can't say I have...My GW4 has been working fine on my P6P. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Same here. Try reinstalling the galaxy wear app and also the Google wear app from play store.
Has anyone been able to get the battery share function working between 6 pro and GW4?

I'm not sure if it ever will because Samsung decided to use a modified version of Qi wireless charging on the GW4... Seems to work on some from some searching but not all.
