Just downloaded it from the Gear app store, and seems to be working nicely from a quick glance. Didn't book a car yet, but it connected to my account, found my location etc. Also seemed to be working on 3g with the watch remotely connected to the phone (not via BT), which means it should work even if the phone isn't on you (though I'd totally test this for real before counting on it )
Annoying that you need a companion phone app even if you have the normal app installed on your phone, bit seems to work well.

Agree, though at least it seems to also work when connected remotely to the phone, so hopefully this means you don't need to have the phone with you for it to work.
For those interested, eBay app is now also available in the store since earlier today...
I can't see an Uber app in the Gear store. Is it a paid app, and are you on Samsung phones?

I also can't find it in the store. Probably not available in every country...
I'm in the US though. My guess is the same Samsung-phones-only restriction that applies to paid apps also applies to free apps that support some kind of in-app billing - which Uber would have to, if it plugs into a separate app instead of the regular Play Store one.
I really hope Samsung fixes this soon.
Can't find Uber on Samsung Apps for S2. No matter paid or free apss. Samsung phone.

Hi everyone! Can anyone get the installation file from the Samsung App store and upload it here? it's possible?
Even with paid apps now showing up, presumably meaning everyone should have access to all the same apps, I still can't see the Uber app in the store!
Maybe the S2 sport and classic have different hardware numbers or something, and Uber did something dumb and only enabled the app for one of them? I'm on classic; any other classic users want to chime in with whether or not you can access the Uber app?
I'm on sport version and I still can't find this app in the store. News about Uber is fake? I didn't find any information about it but this forum

I tried contacting Uber support about this and they replied with instructions to download the phone app. Replied letting them know it's customary to read support tickets before answering them. Will update if I get anything useful from them.
Just switched phone from Samsung Galaxy Alpha to Blackberry Priv. Uber S2 app was available on the Alpha but can't find it on the Priv. Pretty annoying. Anyone else notice the same?
I can not find the app in Gear Store - Have a Gear S2 sport version - bought in Norway.
Uber responded this on twitter to me:
"@SimenPR Please note that the Uber app is only available for the S2 model."
Very little helpful in other words.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge..
nothing here - Gear S2 Classic + BlackBerry Priv
cant find on my phone

Does anyone know how to get the installer and install it manually?
Hey all, Just got my LTE variant and have been fiddling around with it and have discovered some things. Wanted to post here and let people know what I've come across.
So far I have discovered:
-Gear works with Rooted Devices (at least with my Note 4)
-Samsung Pay from Gear works with Rooted Devices (Can't add my Discover Card yet, planned support for hopefully end of year)
-You DON'T have to use the default texting app in order to send/receive/reply to messages from the S3. So far, the apps I've found that support this are Google Hangouts, ChompSMS, Textra, and Google Messenger. It does have a few hangups though. This thread states the methods I used to achieve this and the hangups observed by doing this.
-You can control phone music from the s3, but cannot stream to it...yet.
-Gear seems to auto lock when removed from wrist. Unable to tell if it's based on the lack of heart beat or sense of movement. Not an issue, just making aware.
-Gear supports AOD (Always On Display). The type of display given is based on the watch face currently in use, so it would appear your watch face must have support for it otherwise it will default to a stock face (needs testing). Using AOD will shift pixels around to prevent burn in every time you go to wake the watch. Have lightly tested and can verify it shifts. Will be testing on my next charge cycle to test battery life and burn in potential (trying to test as much as I can within my 14 day period of which to exchange for another device (lemon law)
So far that's all I've come across and will update this page accordingly with more information. Please feel free to add yourself anything you have discovered so we can let the rest of our Gear toting brothers and sisters know these tips and tricks.

The Samsung Pay you use is a baked in app that is part of the Samsung Gear app. I have in installed on my rooted Nougat port on my HTC 10 and it works perfect. You don't need the official Samsung Pay app installed on the device at all. It seems as of now, that Samsung thinks the security on the watch is enough to allow you to use it side by side with a rooted phone. I hope it stays that way, because I have never been able to use Android pay because of the Root issue.

Did you keep the watch @Naturesretard?
I have bought the Gear s3 and would like to connect with my Samsung A9 Pro (sm-A9100), however, when I checked the passkey for both sides, the s3 and a9 pro keep connecting but no further....
Does anyone has such situation? and what can I do....
ps. My A9 pro was rooted and some defaulted samsung app were forzened before.

Yes I did. However have been very busy since getting it and have not had time to update the thread. I've tested a few additional features and even a skin from Skinomi to protect the watch. When I have time tonight I will try to update what I can.
What I can say now, the watch feels a little lackluster, but since it's my first wearable, and it works for what I bought it for (messaging/calling, Samsung pay) it works great. But there are time I worry I'm not using it to its potential or it's just in its baby phases and doesn't have many apps yet.

I just picked mine up a few days ago a and that sums up my feelings also. It's my first smartwatch and I've been wondering if I'm using it's full potential. I haven't been thrilled with the battery life but I have been playing around with it a lot and have only charged it a couple of times. Hopefully that will improve when I finally decide on a watch face that I can live with, I think I've changed the face a couple of hundred times.
Samsung Pay is available on S3, the only difference is that if you bought the BT version, it'll requires that you have the phone nearby for the 4GLTE to make the payment or such. If you have the LTE model and uses that, then you should be fine.

Correction, BT version can do 10 transactions without the phone nearby for Samsung Pay. After that, you need to sync with the phone to get another 10.

I use it. Seems to be working fine for things like notifications. Although it doesn't seem to work for making calls or sending SMS from the watch.
It's crap to use on the M9 as I do quick little replies with my Smart Watch all day and not being able to do that was a huge deal breaker for me.

this is the only thing that bothers me so far. if you get a text and try to reply on the watch, it just tells you to look at your phone. hoping Samsung gets that straightened out at some point, but not counting on it anytime soon... I love this phone, but I will be checking out the s8 when it comes out...
My S3 and Mate 9 work fine...Notifications, text messaging, phone calls, Samsung Pay, etc...Work Flawless. Makes me really love me S3 and Mate 9. Especially in my office.. I have to leave my phone on the edge of the desk or no signal, an incoming call I just answer on my S3....
you have the possibility to download watch faces from Samsung Gear ? You need to log with a Samsung account user id ?
how is that working ?
Lol, I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. My Gear S3 Classic and my Pebble Time Steel work perfectly with my Mate 9. Maybe browse the S3 forums and read up? Whatsapp works great with W-History app. I use textra for my SMS app and all replies work (hands down the best app to use for SMS/MMS - you guys really need to do your research and not use stock SMS apps - most are garbage, sorry).
Again, tinker and do your research... You'll realize your devices have much more potential than you realize.

I do too, but it works for me to do that. Then again, I don't do SMS, I do Hangouts, LINE, and email, mostly. SMS is too costly where I live, so nobody uses it.
Gear S3 (Frontier LTE) works and functions properly with my Mate 9
I have the U.S. unlocked model of the phone, which is running a slightly different firmware than the European model.
When my Gear S3 is connected, I get constant disconnect messages throughout the day, even when the phone is right next to the watch. It will work for the most part when it is connected, but I received a call the other day and my watch kept ringing after I answered the phone, which has never happened on any of my other phones.
I have also had issues with my Fitbit syncing. It will just disconnect and not reconnect. So, I think the answer depends on which model of the phone you have, at least for now.
Some question I also wish to know as I'm planning to buy Gear S3 Frontier in the future too.
1. I'm confused in people saying making call and receiving SMS don't work, and some say work, exactly which one is true? Is it that you can accept call but can't start call from the watch?
2. Any one that uses What's App, Wechat, Hangout, specially Facebook Messenger etc, are you able to do reply to these apps(like in notification area)? Like not only the quick message, to be able to type manually on watch and reply (Voice or Keyboard)?
Thanks.

Thanks opasha,
I just loaded Textra and I can recieve and send texts from my Gear S3.
The only issue with SMS is that you can't reply from the NOTIFICATION on the watch. You can, of course, send an SMS from the contact itself, but for a quick "on my way home" or "yes that sounds good" from the notification on the watch, can't do it if you have it paired with the Mate 9, whereas it worked great with the S7 Edge.
I was not able to make a call through the Gear when connected to my Mate 9 (BT Gear version).
But actually after a reset of the Gear, that I didn't do when I swapped from S6 to Mate 9, calls are working
And as it has been said, you can use a third party sms app. (Thanks to @opasha, I installed Textra which is pretty cool, even if it deleted all my sms...)

Yes, you can download Samsung Store to get (all) the apps on your Gear.
To do so, you do need to log in on your Samsung account.

I had the S3 installed on my previous phone, a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it would go through my battery in less than 4 hours.
(M9Pro - LON-L29, B156, Android 7.0 EMUI 5.0, rooted using the TWRP, PHH superuser method by XDA's raimondomartire)
I had the install issues with the S3 software. It would install and say it was installing and never stop. So I rebooted - the app had installed. I did this for all the other related apps and all worka well. No issues.
Mine keeps telling me that it cannot connect to server. I had to sideload the app after a samsung rep told me on live chat that it would not work on the mate 9 in australia.
This gets weirder. The day after, Samsung Pay suddenly starts to work and even gets as far as to ask me to add cards. When I try to add a card, it says the card is incompatible even though my bank lists it as compatible.
Had a half hour session with a Samsung Rep who stated that as the S3 was bought here and the Phone was bought overseas (Chinese stock), the phone loaded Chinese Samsung Pay plugin and it is looking for Chinese bank servers and of course my Bank doesn't exist there.
Short of finding an Australian stock ROM and flashing it (No idea where), if appears I am totally out of luck with Samsung Pay.
Anyone have any ideas please?

Maybe you received any kind of update... maybe Firmware update for "Gear"...
Btw... which Gear S3?
SM-R760 or SM-R770 or ...
And your Firmware Version is now?
Sometimes damn auto updates creates "funny" sideeffects...
Samsung is also known as "Master of Changes"...
They easy disable something... in "new" Software...

Just for info, Gear app works. On phone I can see battery status, RAM and Storage status. Also can communicate with watch (Find my gear)...problem is present only when try to go to Galaxy store.
Has anyone idea what is that error for and how to solve this problem?
Tnx, Vladimir

Hey I know this is from 2 months ago but I thought I'd let you all know (and anybody who might find this page via Google) that I figured it out!
OK so you know how when you are first attempting to setup the watch it asks you to visit a website? You HAVE to visit that website if you want it to work on a non-Samsung phone! You cannot go to the Play Store and search for the Samsung Gear App. Why Samsung did this I have no idea. Basically what they have are TWO DIFFERENT Samsung Gear apps that appear to be identical; except one is for Samsung phones and one is for all others. WHY THEY DECIDED NOT TO STATE THIS ON THE APP PAGE IS BEYOND ME.
Anyway if you are having this problem, uninstall your Samsung Gear app. Then go to your watch, go to settings and choose the option to connect it to a new phone. On your cell phone, go to the website it tells you to. The website will ask you if you are using a Samsung phone or another phone, so obviously don't click the Samsung option. This will give you a direct link to the Samsung Gear app that is meant for all other phones.
Again it's a really bizarre thing on Samsung's part but I am so glad to have figure it out and I hope my post helps you guys or anyone else Googling this issue in the future.
EDIT: The website is http://apps.samsung.com/gear
I have a S7 that will be replaced soon and I rather have a OP6 than a S9, but it has to work with my Gear S3 and use all it's functions like Samsung pay, phonecalls, Samsung health. Also that the Bluetooth can handle 2 Connie tons at the same time like bt audio in my car/Sony bt headphones.
all exept samsung pay will work. having op6 or s9 to decide, i wouldn't even consider s9..
Haven't tested samsung pay but everything else is working fine on mine.
I get my op6 Tuesday, and one of the first things I'll do is set up my gear s3. I'm really hoping Samsung pay will work. According to some initial research, it's seems possible. Lots of mixed results. I'll definitely come back with some results next next week.
I have a Bluetooth Gear S3 classic and an OnePlus 6. Everything works (Samsung pay included) though I had to use apkmirror to download the Samsung Pay (gear plug-in) app.

Yeah looked like from what I read you have to have the "plug-in" app, but I thought you could get it from the playstore. Did it not show up in the playstore?
Edit: now that I think about it, it's all done through the Samsung gear app. However others have had the same issue where the plug-in fails to install. In which case the solution is as Dennis says above.
yeah I don't think Number Sync will work but via Bluetooth it will, My Gears S2 works so the S3 should be fine via Bluetooth

It was not on the play store for me, but apkmirror is run by the Android police guys and is reliable. They even show when the signature for a file is the same as on the play store (which it is for everything I've come across).

Been using my Gear S3 (Frontier) with no problems at all. Works very well thus far - enough to get me to dump my Apple Watch finally.
Now to find a way to replace the stupid 1+ phone app and this is a keeper for sure.
I have a 5t and a gear s3.
Everything works fine calls etc. Samsung pay is the hardest to get working. I had to install the apk from apk mirror. Also if yous ever chnage roms use titanium backup to backup every samsung app and its services or the watch will need to reset itself.
Btw if u root. Use magisk hide to hide all the samsung apps.
Fyi use google messages so u can reply on the watch. And if u can/want use googles phone app.
Thank you for all your input!
Now I can go agead and order the phone:good:

Latest version of samsung pay APK doesn't work.
Downloaded much older version and it worked like a charm:

You might need to enable "install unknown apps"

Hey mate. I tried installing this on my oneplus 6 , the apk file installs fine but when I open it I get the following error message.
''Unable to continue using samsung pay, your gear may not be supported.''
Was it the oneplus 6 you managed to get this working on ? or was it a different model.
Cheers

I got that message too and several errors trying to reach the server but eventually it'll work. Try uninstalling samsung pay plugin, gear app and factory reset on the watch, then download both apps on the phone, pair with the gear app, when you install the smasung pay plugin using the apk, tap on update and then add your cards
I hear that it's better then it was but still can be flaky. Just gotta play some games to get it to wrok right I guess. Gonna wait for the new S4 watch that is ditching Tizen OS and finally going with Android Wear OS.

OnePlus 6. Find the 1.5 apk and install that.
Worked for me. Newer versions tended to give me errors like you did.
Been using samsung pay for the past month successfully. Extra bonus, the 1.5 apk has limited compatibility with the samsung gear app unlike later versions. A nice bonus is if safetynet fails(ie: magisk failed to hide it), samsung pay on the watch still works flawlessly.

I don't know if Samsung pay will work or not because I have a rooted op6 phone, and I know it doesn't work very well with rooted phones. I finally just broke down and bought a Galaxy S5 for 75 bucks on eBay and I have it plugged in at home 24/7. I used to set up my watch and Samsung pay and since it's a Samsung phone it works 100% over the internet. Non-samsung phones require a Bluetooth connection with their host phone to work with all of the features. So my Samsung phone at home connects with my gear S3 watch over the internet no matter where I am. it works like a champ for me and I'm not having to wipe my watch and reset it up every 3 days because I'm messing around with my Op6. I have been thinking about trying to get at work I'm going to be 6 just for grins and if I do I will report back here lol.
I have been using the gear S3 frontier with the op6 from the beginning, I've had the phone since launch, and everything works 100%.
Use magisk hide so Samsung pay works on one plus.
I have the Gear S3 Frontier with a Oneplus 6T that just arrived yesterday.
Everything was downloaded and installed by the Google Play store.
It works just like it did on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Now I'm wondering if Samsung Pay will detect if I root or not. I did not take this chance on my Galaxy Note 5
