Good morning,
Do you know if Gear S3 will have all its functions paired with an Android that is not from Samsung?
Or is it only with a Samsung mobile that all functions are active?
I'm using mine with an iPhone 5S, with the Gear Manager Beta for IOS.
Thank you!
Had it paired with an Asus phone, now with the Oneplus 3T. Did not find anything not working!

Sorry, my English is not very good, if I understand, you said that both in Asus and OnePlus all the functions work with on a Samsung Smartphone?
Yes
The S3 Frontier works flawlessly with my LG G5.
Exactly what does "limited capability" (from Samsung's web site) for calls, messaging, email, wifi sync mean? I have a Gear S3 with a Samsung S7 Edge, but am trying to convince a friend who has an LG V20 what a great watch this is... thanks for any info!
Is there any way to make phone calls directly from the gear using a non Samsung phone? Or Cyanogenmod?

Well if you have the LTE version of Gear, you can make phone calls from the watch without a phone at all.

As long as your connected via Bluetooth to your phone, then yes it works just fine. I use mine with an LG G5 and it works fine.

BTW I have not found a single thing that does not work with a non-Samsung Android phone. Every single thing works flawlessly with my LG G5 running Nougat (Android 7).

What dialer/ phone app are you using? I'm able to receive calls on the watch but only the answer/ decline option, not the answer directly from the gear (talk through the gear)

Well I just tested the calling options:
With bluetooth on and connected to my LG G5, it dials it from my phone but uses the watch's speaker and mic.
With bluetooth off and connected via the watch's sim, I can make and receive calls using only the watch.
I am using the default dialer on both the watch and the phone. Hope that helps...
Have you tried it with a bluetooth headset on a phone not Samsung? I and many others have serious problems because the bluetooth headset disables the Bluetooth "call profile" of Gear !!!
So the use of gear excludes the use of bluetooth headphones including the car handsfree !!!

I have V20 and I receive texts as notifications only. They donot store or sync into the messages app. So no conversation stays on device for reply too. Only chance to reply is when viewing original notification. A new message can be sent via messages though. My biggest complaint.

This was my experience as well with my Moto Z. The messages app was gone after pairing to the Moto. At least on my S3 Frontier LTE, the text messages are a little finicky (delays in showing up, no notifications at all) so this was a deal breaker for me. I switched back to my Note 4.
looks to work well with some phones, but seems not for all of rooted roms :'(
and on my oneplus2 (stock rom) can't find the Gear S app !! (just the Samsung accessory and Gear S Plugin)....
Hi Guys
i have note 2 rooted with Eclipse V9 rom which is android version 4.4.4 and want to buy S3 gear. can some one please confirm if it will work with my phone or not. Thanks in Advance.

Unless you have the 3g version the phone call will be on your phone at the same time as the watch, and the only way to really answer it would be to be on your phone.

Not currently possible, but it's a great idea and Sammy should update it so that it can.

No but that would be great, currently just answer via the phone not speakerphone
Possible workaround is to turn on answering calls with voice commands (under accessibility) then saying 'answer' should automatically force the speaker. I haven't tested this and am unsure if this will work via the watch of course. You can always pretend Another option would be car mode but not the most practical.

Tested, and it doesn't work. Voice commands turns speaker on if I talk to my phone, but not if I talk to my watch. This really is a bummer, it would be nice if the phone is on the table, and I'm on the couch, for ex.
What's the purpose of answering through your watch if you still need to pick up the phone? Yeah I know, Bluetooth and all that, would still be nice though.

why i can't answer a call with my gear S2 as the apple watch without 3G, in this case it will act as a Bluetooth hands free speaker..............it is very disappointing
The reason is very simple: it is a Samsung Gear S2 with Tizen - not iOS
With the Gear 2 this is possible without any problem, provided by Samsung. They know how to do it, even with Tizen. How they manage there products is very strange sometimes.
I saw it on the video that when you get a phone call, the watch vibrates and have a green tab on the left to let you slide and take the call and a red tab on the right that let you reject call. But on my s2 classic , when I get the phone calls, I just see the reject call tab but not the answering tab, I know I can only speak on the phone but can I answer the phone on the watch speak on the phone?
Sorry for bad english
Yes you should be able to Reject and Answer calls directly through the watch. I have Accept in green on the left and Reject in red on the right side of my sport edition. Do you have it pair to a Samsung phone or other, not that that should make any difference.

Yes I can make calls on watch , already tried resetting the watch and still no luck
Mine is paired with a Samsung Edge+. I can answer phones just fine.
The green answer slider ONLY works on Samsung phones. I have a Nexus 5, and I definitely don't have the green slider. I'd like it cause my android wear watch has it, but it doesn't really do much, since you can't talk into the watch since there is no speaker to hear the other person. So, nice, but not terribly useful.
it might be different on the 4G watches that just hit, since you can talk and hear right from the watch..

I have an S2 4G on T-Mobile and it works fine with my Samsung Note 5. The 4G version should work fine with other android phones, that is what they are advertising. We will hear from lots of 4G owner very soon as the T-Mobile versions are up and running now.
I did not realize you don't get the green slider on the BT S2 when you are not using a Samsung phone.
Gotta chime in
I have been struggling with this for days now. On Nexus 6 with lollipop and Nexus 6P with gear s2 Verizon version, you cannot answer or make a call on your phone. the audio and mic will default to the watch as if it is a BT headset. this is very annoying. With all my other gears I have not had this problem. To answer the original question of the thread: go to BT on your phone and check phone audio on the BT settings for the gear s2. then you can receive and make calls. But, for my issue, Verizon does not know what's going on and sent me a new phone which does the same thing, then blames Samsung, who then blames Google's M, who then blames Huawei, who then blames Verizon. I have been instructed, now, to call higher level support with Samsung... Will give an update!

Go to your phone's BT settings; select the settings of your gear s2 and check the phone audio box.
nexus 6, rooted, with a custom rom, on T Mobile, zero issues making or receiving calls from the watch, either in Bluetooth mode or stand alone mode.
I also successfully paired my Moto Bt headset to the watch, so I can make and receive calls from the watch, with my bluetooth headset on!!
so far, everything works exactly as I hoped!

Hi,

Green Call accept button is available only with Samsung S5, and Samsung A5. In other devices only Red Reject button is Available.

Not true, at least with the 4G models. It's worked just fine on my HTC M8 and my HTC 10. Very recently it stopped working (long after this thread was created), and I haven't done any major updates to my watch or ROM. So it must be something else, at least for some of us.
Edit: And... Now it works again. Very weird.

hey there, I just wanted to know how you answer calls with a smartwatch that doesn't have a speaker.
Thanks, Fritz_Frigursson
the 4g model does have a speaker..
I recently bought a Samsung Gear S2 classic.
It connects to iPhone via bluetooth without any app, so here is my experience:
- Notifications work, (the ones from the notification center), however you cannot act on them, it is just a notification viewer. You can read the message that comes or e-mail or FB message, however you cannot answer them.
- No access to any other apps/watch faces beside the stock ones that are on the watch already
- Wifi network connection is limited to open networks only :/ (secured networks are not visible, why?) however range of the wifi signal sensitivity is awesome (I pick up a printer Wifi signal of my neighbour 3 floors up)
- Battery : At 8h I still have 50% (moderate use, loads of notifications, Wifi off, HR sensor frequent, Brightness 8, Ambient on)
- World clock is totally off, I mean the times are not right. I don't know why.
I read rumours that iOS appstore will get a Gear app by the end of this year, so support is on the way
I am an Apple fan (iphone, ipad, imac, macbook and so on) and I have to say... Gear S2 is going to rock the smartwatch boat a looooot!
The quality you get for the money is just amazing.
Greetings from Belgium!
Hi I have an iphone, and the gear s2 3g pairs to it, but I don't see any notifications coming through (not sure how that would work, because I haven't selected which notifications I would want to send to the watch the way i do on my android phone (Note 4)). Are there any settings you had to change to enable this functionality?
Thank you!
Notifications that are in the notification center are working and they get through to the watch.
There is no app yet, I just connected it via bluetooth.
After reset, the secured WiFi networks are discoverable (some of them at least).
Overall, after 1 day of usage, I got 15h of battery. Now I am testing the battery with no HR sensor and Brightness 5.
I will post results soon!
I have a samsung phone that my gear s2 is connected to. I also have an iPhone for work. Do you think I could connect both phones at the same time? Lol.... I just got the watch and it is charging, so I can't try it.

Thats a good info for me, i just considering to update my firmware, because i'm experiencing always on mode is not always on, sometimes its totally turn off the display, i think that's because the firmware, but then i do a research on this forum, thats a common problem
Just unpacked my amazon-delivered gear s2.
As an iphone 6 owner I'm very happy that it does communicate with the phone,though indeed only readable notifications.
Hope the app arrives soon.
Dont update your Gear S2 yet
Please don't update the firmware yet.
So i have both android and iphone. I was trying to get the android experience with gear s2, i tried to update the latest firmware.
After that, i switch back to my iphone which i prefer to use. The result is i can't detect the gear S2 on my bluetooth.
So... Don't try to update the firmware yet. It really sad :crying:
@hns_hnz: could you share more information?
what is exactly Gear S2 model? Model of your Iphone?

I can confirm this, as soon as I paired it with my android device, the S2 is unusable with Iphone...well after I used Gear Manager to update it.
Firmware update is fine, you just have to not activate it through the Manager on an Android device otherwise it's gone.

Factory reset doesn't do anything unfortunately. So mke sure u do not connect the watch using Samsung Manager on any android phone.
Using the watch to update firmware seems to be fine (using the built in wifi).

I see, so the key is, do not upgrade firmware via android gear manager apps, or you'll never get paired to the iphone anymore
But i'm doing the upgrade OTA via the device itself, and there's no update available..it says my device already have the newest firmware version, or maybe samsung OTA update has some kind of country limitation? since I'm in Indonesia?

Hi. I've read a couple articles from a couple months ago that said there were issues pairing the Gear S2 to the Nexus 6p due to encryption. Is this still an issue?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
this issue was solved ,the gear S2 now works with the 6P
Is this definitely fixed? I can't find anything official via Google and this one post is the only mention that the issue has been resolved.
If the issue with encryption has been fixed, has the notification issue also been fixed? I recall there being problems with notifications being pushed to the watch.
Hi can anyone verify this?

Did you unencrypt your phone? I flashed Chroma and unencrypted my Nexus 6 in order to get my Gear S2 to work. I tried it on stock rooted but could not get the update to download. Everything is working great now that I'm on Chroma ROM.
Now that I look at it, my phone has been unencrypted but forgot about doing it. I am running the normal 6.0 but I am rooted. I do have some Bluetooth issues though.
Not really sure if an issue but when ever I answer my phone it defaults to the watch, anyway to change that?
I have a Nexus 6, completely stock and running 6.0, that pairs perfectly fine with my gear s2. The only issue I see is that since it isn't a Samsung phone, I do not have access to all available apps for the s2. I've been looking around for a way to have access to them in order to install to my watch, but I haven't found anything definitive yet. Biggest thing I can't find is how to install Milk music to the watch (i've been able to sideload it onto my phone).

Go to settings, Bluetooth, click on the icon next to your gear s2, and uncheck phone audio. Then it will default to the handset earpiece / Bluetooth headset
Only issue I have is not being able to transfer music from my Nexus 6 (rooted running latest chroma) to the gear s2. The gear app doesn't recognize my "0/music" folder. Any suggestions other than painfully transferring single tracks at a time through filemaster?

I'm running chroma marshmallow latest version. I get all of my notifications, only issue is a Nexus issue on how the internal storage route is interpreted by the Sammy software.
No, Samsung Gear S2 is not compatible with Nexus 6P. Its compatible with Nexus 5 and some lists of other smartphone devices. It is officially declare by samsung in their website. Here i will give you the screenshot of compatible devices list.

Ok...I fixed it. Just in case somebody was having the same issue. No rooting or ROM flashing necessary.
All I did was add "Google App" back into the list of apps that are allowed to send notifications to the Gear S2. I'm not entirely sure why this is related to notifications but I'm assuming since the OS needs to communicate with the watch to get all settings to display in the Gear app, that "Google App" is kind of synonymous for "anything Android" and should therefore always be left "on" in Gear app notifications.
I hope this helps somebody.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanks for the review
I can't find anywhere where the teste if it's possible to use and external hrm with this watch like the polar h7 (Bluetooth) do you know?
Is there any way to get access to Samsung pay on European S3 / S3 frontier, too?
We don't get the LTE version here.. sadly.
Please help!
I have Gear S3 Frontier & S7 Edge. My S3 is working great with exception of Samsung Pay. Actually, I don't even know where it is because it does not show up either on my S3 or Samsung Gear App. I tried many times opening the Gear App and select tab Settings and where Samsung Pay should be there is only the S Health tab and Samsung Galaxy App tab. Please help i have updated both softwares and even tried uninstalling and installing to negative results.

Yes, you can use the wall charger that comes with the S7E. I even use it for headphones & other electronics and is ok. The fast charging function will work only with the devices that have this function. In rest, the charger will be a normal (very good) charger.
What about hangout and whatsapp?
Hi, I couldn't find anywhere such an info. This could be a potential reason for me not to buy this watch.
Is it possibile to directly start an hangout chat or a whatsapp chat directly from the watch? I mean can I only answer to a recieved hangout or whatsapp message I guess, but can I even send a new message directly from the watch?
I own a Huawei Watch and, at least for Google hangout, I can start a new chat directly from the smartwatch.
Thanks in advance, this is really important for me.
Where can I download these watch faces? I cannot find them in the store.
Thanks for sharing.

Why only tutorial videos? Can't people understand written text anymore?
For the watch faces it is okay to show but not for tutorials
