Note 7 - Gear VR - Stream Games - Hard Wired to PC Issue - Note 7 Accessories

I have the white battery note 7 till my local store gets my blue in stock. (Good times)
I have the new 2016 gear VR headset - Note 7 - Asus Rog 752 Gaming laptop
I can run Intugame Gear VR App/PC program over wifi but has a little lag, so i want to hard wire to the PC for better performance.
When I plug in the cable from the PC to the USB-C Port on the bottom of the Gear VR with the Note 7 docked it the Gear VR. the note says its charging and will not let the PC software connect to the phone. If i don't use the gear VR headset and plug the cable from the PC right into the note 7 it works just fine, but you need to have the note 7 in the gear VR for the whole to work.
Any ideas on how i can get my gear VR to not think of the PC as a power and more of a data connection?
Thanks for Any help

Thanks for the reply, so your saying that i can connect the phone directly to the computer and it works but cant when the PC is connected to the gear vr extended port on the bottom of the Gear VR. - So its not a pass though to the phone?

From what I found so far, no, it does not support pass through yet. There is a rumor going around saying it can and will be updated to support it in the future, this is just a rumor floating around reddit and leapmotion forums. I know of a sdk kit called Orion for the leap motion, it is meant to allow data pass through for hand motion control, it is somewhere to look for more information about the pass through.

Connect PS4 controller (DS4) - NO ROOT!

So I am posting this everywhere as I found very little information about how to do this and trouble shooting some issues. Made a reddit post and going to post it here (I hope this is a proper place to put this).
Just hold down the PS button and Share till the light starts to flash. Go to your Bluetooth and pair the game controller.
Trouble shooting suggestions are on bottom.
Now after about 30sec, and for some unknown reason, you will run into input lag. To fix this you will need to download an app called Bluetooth Auto Connect. Once installed goto Advanced Options - Connect Now. Once you push Connect Now the input lag should be gone.
If you are looking for a clamp I just bought something called Nyko Smart Clip - PlayStation 4 on Amazon for $10. TOTALLY WORTH IT!
Trouble Shooting:
I had an issue when pairing that it would see the device but wouldn't pair. What I had to do was turn off Bluetooth, turn it back on and try again.
Another issue I had was Bluetooth Auto Connect wasn't fixing the lag issue on my Samsung Note Pro (same device I had an issue pairing, my Samsung Note 4 didn't have any of these issues). I had to uninstall sixaxis controller then restart device. Then uninstall Bluetooth Auto Connect and restart device. Then connect DS4 controller. Then install Bluetooth Auto Connect and spammed Connect Now. It seemed to work. FYI my Note Pro is rooted but my Note 4 isn't and this works on both devices!
To repair the controller to your PS4 plug it in with your charging cable and push the PS button, it will pair immediately. I personally bought a 2nd controller so I wouldn't have to do that.
Hello, I tried this with my ps 4 controller and it says that the controller is paired but the light on the controller keeps flashing and it does not respond to any input and after some time it just turns off, the Bluetooth auto connect app just says that is unable to connect to wireless controller, please help, my device is a galaxy s7 edge.
Connecting the PS4 controller works for me but can't do anything else such as can't play games or anything, maybe a future update when everyone starts to cry a bit more about how the S7 Edge isn't compatible with any controller, I have tried 3rd party controllers and the right joystick and the rest of the buttons do not work, the only thing that works is the left joystick...
Before the 7.0 Nougat update on the S7 Edge (SM-G935P) the OTP (wired) connection would crash the phone; freezing the display, hard reboot. This happened on the OFW and rooted versions. Bluetooth would pair but you'd have to try multiple times and you'd need to delete the original pairing to repair (holding the pair buttons on the controller).
After the 7.0 Nougat update, controller support had been added- albeit horribly. The only connection is an OTP connection, Bluetooth still has errors. The button configurations are wrong though, the controller is useless. Square, X and circle are all wrong and triangle doesn't even register.
This is where I'm at, anyone know of any fix? I'm not looking forward to buying a Stratus XL (works perfectly but it's 60$)
I'm about to just switch from Samsung to Sony lol.
Unfortunately the guy that wrote this article is guilty of blatant douchbaggery (what good is a paired controller that cant be mapped and starts mapped completely out of whack). Yes you can 2 button pair a ds4 controller but a ds4 controller is encrypted and requires in linux and linux like os a driver called SCP (SONY CORP.SOMTHING......) That just isnt offered by any app ive seen on droid other than sixaxis. Alternately you could always hard wire it . The major flaw in this is the inability to stop the controller from charging in this case off your phone battery. As far as the mapping goes the only issue is android uses the generic abxy combo which is cross circle square triangle in ps4 speak . in retrospect .....i suppose i should have stopped reading when the author claimed no root. The controller keylayout files (.kl) are located in/system/user/keylayout. How are u supposed to do anything to those w/o root?

Gear S3 Frontier Pair with Nokia 6?

Hey all, thanks in advance for any responses. Trying to pair Gear S3 Frontier with Nokia 6, but it never connects. I have tried the non-samsung phone Gear Manager from the Samsung website, but when I attempt to setup it sees the watch but never actually connects. Any ideas? Not a huge issue as I am only using this phone temporarily, but I hate not having functionality between the watch and the phone.
In case it matters for whatever reason, it is the LTE version of the watch.
Thanks!

The same happened when I tried to pair Gear S3 Frontier with Nokia 5 phone.
i face the same problem and i went to samsung and they told me that nokia is not support samsung smart watches, nokia must have an update allow to connect the gear. hope we get update from nokia

When it gets to the screen to pair the two devices (should say "refer to phone to complete setup" or something similar on the gear, and have the loading circle on the phone) without closing the gear app, open bluetooth then click on the Gear in the bluetooth devices menu. Should connect and complete the setup. For some reason the connection to the gear disconnects midway through setup and doesnt attempt to reconnect, so you have to do it manually. After that there shouldnt be any issue with the gears connection to the phone.
Found this out while mucking around with phone and gear in bed one morning.

It worked for Nokia 5 as well
Thank you
Worked on my Nokia too but the problem seems to be that the watch and the phone wont reconnect automatically if the connection breaks. I need to go to Settings - Bluetooth and tap the Gear S3 row so it will connect.
Anyone else facing the same?

Gear S3 does not connect with my OPPO R& plus as well! On the application it says not compatible!! Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
As ragegamr said - WHEN THE SAMSUNG GEAR APP DISPLAYS THE SPINNING GALAXY TRYING TO PAIR WITH THE WATCH AND THE WATCH SAYS CHECK YOUR PHONE TO COMPLETE THE SETUP GO TO YOUR PHONE'S SETTINGS - BLUETOOTH - AND CLICK ON THE GEAR S3 TO CONNECT TO IT. THEN GO BACK TO THE GEAR APP.

That works around the set-up issue but the symptom is actually due to a larger issue of the Gear S3 and the phone never automatically connecting.
I used to have a Samsung S8+ and never had issues with connectivity.
I could leave my phone on my desk, walk to the other side of the building, hear the watch disconnect then walk back and hear it connect automatically. Seamless - as it should be.
Now on my Nokia 8 I need to manually go into Bluetooth and connect to the watch every time the phone loses connectivity to it. This is ridiculous.
Further, when connecting to my car stereo, the phone calls no longer go to the car.
It looks like Nokia might need to do something to fix the Bluetooth problems at the driver or firmware level.
Well with my Nokia 8 sirocco the gear s3 fails to connect even when tapping manually. Once i tap on Gear s3 it says connecting, it shows connected for 1 second and again disconnects. Any help?

I am trying on nokia 6 2017 and still does not work.
Thank you so much!
This device in not compatible with Gear s3 .
Hello there,
I recently had a chat with Samsung support and they mentioned that only few devices are support with their watches.
check on Samsung website >>/global/galaxy/gear-s3/device-compatibility/
[Jaybee(Agent):11:19:30] Basing from mt resources the Nokia 6 cannot be seen as one of the compatible device.
[(Customer):11:21:48] So, developers need to make a patch for it ?
[Jaybee(Agent):11:22:31] It is not actually an error on Samsung side since the device is made for other devices.
[Jaybee(Agent):11:23:31] One thing that I can think off is that by the time the Gear S3 was released the Nokia 6 has not been manufactured and I believe this was the first Android device of Nokia.
[(Customer):11:24:06] Yeah, I believe so..
[(Customer):11:24:41] Is that any future for nokia to get possible connection with Gear s3
[Jaybee(Agent):11:26:46] We are actually unable to tell if in the future that the Gear S3 will be compatible with the Nokia.
[Jaybee(Agent):11:27:28] We hope that would happen since we definitely want to make sure that our products can be connected to any brands.
Another thing you can do is : go into gear s app> settings> gear connection (off) try to make it on. (if you are lucky)

Did you had any luck with this? Because I am having exactly the same issue?
easy solution
Activate Developer Mode in your phone. In Developer options find Bluetooth AVRCP Version click on it and change it to 1.3 (mine was set to 1.4 as default) restart your phone and connect it again(you might to reinstall and unpaired your Gear S3). works on my Nokia X6 2018 no problems. Cheers from Scotland ps let me know guys if it works for you (probably its same problem and solution for all android phones which have connection problems with Gear smart watches...)

Question Pairing problem with LG smartphone

Hi, I am new here, came for help
I've got Galaxy Watch 4 and tried to connect it to my smartphone LG V30. It connected only once after first start and then after disconecting I can't pair it again through the Galaxy Wearable app. My phone sees the device and can connect with it via Bluetooth but it doesnt work in app. To connect it again I have to reset the watch and start all the things from the beginning. I tried uninstall Galaxy Wearable app, turn off/on watch and smartphone, I called Samsung but they told they dont support non Samsung phones.
Anybody had also problem with pairibg and could help?
Hi, do you also have the Galaxy Watch4 Plugin installed from the Play store?
Everything works for me on my OnePlus Pro 8.
Yes, the plugin is installed.

connect two watches to Galaxy Wearable

Whenever I connect my Galaxy Gear 3 frontier it work perfect controlling it via phone app,
but then when I try to link my Active 2 to my phone I cant get a connection.
The blue tooth can see the watch but when i try to connect , It say no device found.
Why cant you have 2 watches control by the same app, NOT at the same time..
OK Just found the solution
Start Gear wearable app on phone
Turn on Bluetooth setting and UNPAIR the phone you dont want to use
In Bluetooth setup select the watch you want to use and PAIR IT.
if your watch still not paired go into watch setting and turn on Bluetooth Done

Question Watch aren't connected to the phone in Galaxy Wearable app.

Hello,
I bought recently Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm and I have problem with Galaxy Wearable app, after I set everything up all was running correctly. The problem shows, after I turn off bluetooth on watch or phone. When I try to reconnect over bluetooth it shows in bluetooth settings that watches are paired with phone but when I look into the app it says "Your watch isn't connected to your phone." when I click on connect it doesn't reconnect. I already tried to restart the phone or watch, clear cache and also reinstall the app and the plugin. My phone brand is Xiaomi and it should work with the watch.
Thank you for any advices.
Are you running MIUI? I know Xiaomi is very strict with the management of the permissions. Check permissions of the app in the phone, and do not optimize battery on this app. These are the two issues I can think of.
Try downloading Samsung Health and connecting your Galaxy Watch 4 via that app. I have heard that works best.
I don't know if I should open a new thread or not...
I have Galaxy Watch...2? (SM-R800) and PocoPhone running the MiUI. I have Glaxy Wear app and Watch2 "plugin" from the app store (that has no battery optimization options).
The watch disconnects and refuses to connect from the watch side. The only option to connect is to connect BT from the phone, and then connect via the Wear app. Connecting from Wear app alone is not successful.
Connecting like this will last me about half a day, then it's disconnected again.
I'm trying to create an Automate flow that reconnects BT and launches the "connect" activity of the Wear app. Problem is, I don't know which activity to launch.
Does anyone know Wear activities? Or another workaround to bypass MiUI draconic rule?
