Uber is now available for the S2

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.

Strange indeed...I can see it now and it's even on the Staff Picks section (see attached). My full setup - Tmo 3G Gear S2; Tmo Samsung Note 4 phone, in the US on Tmo network

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

Not shown on the market in my country
Does anyone know how to get the installer and install it manually?

Well, maybe back to Android Wear

Just updated my Huawei to AW 1.4 (Marshmallow), and now have calling capabilities on my wrist. For me, this is a high-value feature, and the reason I put the AW watch back in the drawer after 6 weeks with it and went back to Gear, buying a Sport 3G. I've since upgraded to a Classic 3G (Verizon, always hated the swatchy sport) to have calling features again (I've been on Gears since the first one).
No standalone 3G may still send me back to Gear S2 in the next days or week or two, but we'll see. Everything else on the AW platform is so superior (with a few exceptions), and of course "OK Google" -- the functionality, accuracy, etc. of this feature alone is almost enough to keep me from going back. May turn out to be enough.
It's sad. Samsung, IMO, has made a huge strategic error in failing to make S-Voice a higher priority. The customer base has been complaining from the beginning with the first Gear, years ago. Back then, "OK Google" was far more rudimentary, error-prone, etc. In that time, Google has invested enormous resources in making this "personal assistant" actually useful rather than annoying. Something you actually think about invoking to do something, because, like flipping a lightswitch, it "just works".
I think these voice-activated, hands-free "assistant" features are going to become the sine qua non of "wearables" in very short order. Samsung, with their neglect of S-voice are going to find themselves stuck in an uncompetitive posture regardless of how innovative their hardware and UI inventions are. The rotating bezel is cool, and it is a better way to do things than swiping around; however, simply telling your watch what to do while your hands are occupied (like driving) is far, far more useful.
Anyway, I'll post again in a week or so to reflect my plusses/minuses going back... I have a feeling I'll put the S2 back on my wrist, just because of the 3G -- I've come to really depend on that luxury, forgetting my phone somewhat regularly (or deliberately leaving it behind). I created a Tasker task that sends me a notification when the watch disconnects from BT to remind me to forward calls. Works great if I forget my phone. Once the 3/4G AW watches hit the street, I'm gone from Gear. Samsung clearly isn't going to improve S-voice.

Ok good story ,bye ,if you read this,post clips

There are already 4G AW watches.
I am torn, AW is a larger ecosystem, but Tizen is a more robust system, it has actual apps that run independent of the phone (though not as many as I'd like). It's different, but honestly each are good in there own way, it's an opinion as to which is best.

I tried the LG urbane 2 LTE. And it's awful. The gear has much better thought out 3g implementation. Even with Ok google, I returned the LG and went back to my s2.

Well, that didn't take long. One day.
The phone implementation is buggy, and the UI awkward.
I missed the Gear's much more sensible, usable UI for SMS/MMS immediately, the general notification mechanism and UI, and many more usage aspects that are routine every day with a smartwatch.
Then there was the 3G... my Huawei doesn't have a cell radio, so I couldn't compare apples/apples, and unteather. Still, that narrow feature/capability wouldn't be any different -- i.e. being away from the phone. The calling UI operates the same regardless, and that's what I found annoying.
Of course, the digital assistant ("OK Google") was brilliant, almost enough to make me suffer with the other problems. For now, I'll stay with the S2, and see how AW bakes over the next six months. Those damn cards are one of the most annoying "features" of all.

Very interested in the Tasker app you described above. Would you mind sharing the details please?

Yeah, I mentioned this in another thread, and was asked to share.
I need to polish one piece of it before I share (the automatic notification when you're back in BT range to remind you about the Forward All), then I'll zip up the profile and tasks and post it.
Not at the top of my list, though, so don't expect anything for a few days, maybe a week.

That's great, thanks. No tearing hurry, I'm using the Brrr app which does a pretty good job but am interested in other options.

Heard from standalone apps in wear at Google io this week.
It's the same for me. I had aw from the beginning and switched to gear s2 in autumn last year. There are pros and cons in both systems. After a few month now with the gear I feel the urge to go back to wear after the new features where announced this week. I'm probably going to wait till fall when the updates actually hit. And maybe hope to see similar feature like the bezel navigation. I absolutely love this. But also miss the hands free navigation from aw.

I'm waiting for the new Qualcomm wear chip in a device with cellular connectivity. I'm intrigued by the stand-alone apps and I do miss setting timers with Google voice (I have kids and enjoy cooking so those are 2 times timers come in handy lol).
If Samsung gave us SamsungPay on the watch I'd be more reluctant to switch to AW though.

in the u.s. its a little better though. in foreign counties one have to wait for ages for some Services (e.g. no podcasts in gpm) or we won't get them at all. Voice control and assistance is a bad topic all the time.
sometimes i think all the fancy gadgets i buy are just worth half the money cause i can use just half the features.

I feel your pain. I travel for 6-8 out of months every 18. A lot of things don't work even for Americans while outside the US. I was paying for Google play music (should be getting youtube red) but youtube red only worked in the US, felt like I was not getting what I paid for.

It's utterly ridiculous that completely innocuous "internet things" don't simply work anywhere one has an (unrestricted -- think China) internet connection.
It's all about mandarins. They must have control over you simply to have control.
About the timer: There is a rather nice timer app on the watch, and it can easily be invoked via S-Voice. Just say, "set timer 15 minutes", and it will set and start the timer app for 15 minutes.
I use it all the time. No meaningful difference from AW, other than S-Voice is, of course, not as reliable in reading your voice in the first place.

I'm not trying to launch nuclear missiles or solve the national debt from my watch. I want a face that looks like i want it to, the data I need, battery that lasts at least one waking day, and that's about it. And the GS2 does that. Does another? Maybe, but I HAVE the GS2. I've found that the more whistles and bells on anything and the less reliable it is.

I don't get why they can't see that a well functioning S-Voice will make or break wearables for the company. Its that simple.

There are parts of my Motorola 360 I miss however the battery life on the GS2 is absolutely phenomenal. I have had it on since 730 this morning. It's now nearly 2200 and it's only at 80%.

S-Voice has never worked for me, it always just says "please try again later"

For those of you who have a 3G version of the Gear S2 and don't want to fuss with manually call forwarding anymore, allow me to recommend an option many seem to have forgotten over the last couple of years: Google Voice
I've been using GV for years as the VM on my phone. Now, I have added the Gear S2 3G as another phone on my GV account. This gives two great benefits:
1. Calls automatically forward from phone-to-watch OR watch-to-phone if I don't answer on the originally called device, eliminating the need to enable and disable call forwarding phone-to-watch manually and giving a two-way solution if I leave the watch at home for a change.
2. Gives one unified voicemail box for both my phone and watch numbers. While only a few important people have my watch number for emergency purposes, I don't want people to have to remember multiple numbers to call or worry they are leaving a VM in the "box I rarely check."
To forward the watch's calls, just follow Google Voice's instructions with the manual call forwarding dial codes for your carrier and dial them on your watch AFTER you set the number up in your GV account. And, of course, this is only going to work for those who live in a country GV services (US & Canada, I believe). If you are outside the US & Canada, I'm sorry that I have no similar alternative to offer you.

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?

I was really hoping to get rid of the required PIN for Samsung Pay. Annoying to have to constantly enter it if I'm not wearing my watch super tightly all the time. Might just abandon Samsung Pay on my watch and just use it on my phone from now on...

The new update allows you to set the pin for payment only. I think the settings menu changed a little bit, not noticing other major changes.

The update from T-Mobile states that VoLTE was added, a patch for the BlueBorne security issue was added and "Samsung Value Pack 1" was added. I have tried, with no luck finding out what this Value Pack 1 contains. I assume it is different than the Value Pack from April.
That being said, I notice no differences in UI, Settings UI or widgets.

Before I buy, will OP6 work with Samsung gear S3 100%?

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:

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.

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 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.

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
