My S2 and S7 syncd and worked fine until 5/19/2016. Since then, steps and heart rate do not make it over to my S7. Everything else works - notifications, calls, etc... Bluetooth is syncd, just not S Health.
I've unpaired, then paired using the Gear UI. Rebooted the watch and phone.
Anyone know how to get the watch to talk to S Health again?

Hi,
I own a smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3 (android 4.3, not rooted).
I would like to buy the Gear 3.
But will I be able to use the watch?
Will I be able to see SMS, missed calls, ... from my S3 on the Gear 3?
Will I be able to connect with bluetooth?
What other functionality will or will not work? I couldn't find this back anywhere.
I also own a Samsung Note 2014 edition. Will this be of any use?
It is working fine with my Xiaomi mi5

Hi Boeboey,
I have been using Gear S3 frontier sine last 2 weeks with my xiaomi mi5 and it is working fine. All we need to do is if it is a non-Samsung phone there is a plugin available in play store which helps to connect the watch any any phone basically.
As of now I'm able to get notifications form my phone for whats app, sms, calls(we can answer and dial), facebook, Google now, hike, Navigation using Here maps and some other purchased applications like sleep like driod, alarms etc... basically you can configure in the plugin for the notifications you receive.
Even we can reply to the messages from the watch itself if you are interested in doing so.
I'm not very sure on the features works only with Samsung phones and Gear s3. Let me also know if anybody else know.
Guys,
I was able to pair S2 gear with my iphone 7 plus without any issues. Got gear s app on the iphone and could push down settings like a new facewatch, notifications, weather etc, however, the phone is not getting any information from the watch in regards to fitness, so gear s app is not being populated under s health. I have tried to delete the app from the phone, reset all settings, reset the s2, but nothings helps. Does anyone know a possible solutions to this?
Thanks

The gear watch syncs with the actual s health app to track anything besides steps iirc. also the Samsung gear app for the iPhone is pretty terrible as is and have crappy support.
Hi,
since my last update of Gear S3 on the Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 I have to confirm (allow) reading samsung notifications every time my watch is disconnected from the phone or I am to far away from it. otherwise I do not get any notifications or messages on my watch. On the previous relase of Gear S3 app I did not have to confirm it each time. Is this a bug or does anyone know a work around to avoid confirming every time?

It works the same for me and while I consider it a big problem surprisingly this is the first place I have found on the web where the issue is mentioned.
Couple of days ago my gear S3 frontier stopped showing notifications from the phone. It is working fine, the apps are installing normally, everything appears to be doing fine except for the mail purpose of the smartwatch for me - notifications. I'm using Xiaomi mi5. Is anyone having the same problem? Any solution?
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/threads/samsung-gear-s3.149465/#post-2159160 and Gustav Karlsson have 3 links to fix your problem with Samsung Gear app. It is from .apkmirror.com and I dont now why the apps works better on others phone then Samsungs apps on Google Play.
my s3 frontier is connected with my phone...and when i receive a call my phone volume is very low. .please help
Hi
I have a Gear S2 sport watch (not 3G) and as S7 edge phone paired with it, both upgraded to the last available version.
I have not understood how to have the training path map synced with Samsung Health app (of course without having with me the phone during the run).
Steps, distance, speed and hearth rate are correctly synced, but I cannot see the map.
Is there a particular reaons for this or is this an expected behaviour? I thought S2 sport had a GPS module inside. How it measure the speed during running?
Thanks for any possible suggestion.
