My brand new Gear S3, received 1/25/2017, can't get weather. When I open the weather app, I see "finding your location ..." and nothing further happens. Location is enabled on my phone's settings (Galaxy Note 5) and in the Gear Manager App on my phone. My Tizen version is 2.3.2.1 , software version R770XXU1APK7. My Gear app is 2.2.16101261, Gear S Plugin is 2.2.03.16111661 It tells me "The latest version is already installed."
Any ideas, suggestions?
TIA
Update
Update. I uninstalled and re-installed the Gear App and did a soft reset of the watch. Now all is well.
Hi,
I thought I knew watches, but this one has SO MANY things... Right now the "Add current location" shows it is "Finding your location ....." when I click on it. But, all that shows is the "Finding your location...." and never finds mine. Any and all help would be appreciated. Use: [email protected] to send me mail about this. Thanks!

Hi all,
I wonder if someone has the same problem as me.
I just got a new gear s2 classic from Korea and it won't connect to Gear manager. it keeps of giving me a message: "check if your phone is compatible and if the gear manager app needs to be updated, then try again".
I have downloaded the latest version of the gear manager, but still same problem. I did reset both the phone and the gear to factory settings and still it won't connect.
anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?
Thanks
I have a Korean phone that works perfectly with my S6 Edge. Took a while to get it paired and I had to restart my phone. That did it.
Unable to connect - stuck on "setting up" or "connecting to gear s2 (F930)...
Edit: i hate samsung.
Reboot the phone /watch to try again, re-download the gear manager app.. /try to reset the watch /phone ...

I have an unlocked GT-i9505G (Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition LTE). I recently bought a Samsung Gear S2 Classic from Swappa (verified working/perfect order). I've been trying to get it paired and recognized by my S4 phone for several days since I got it, with no luck until today. Brief timeline: installed the Samsung Gear app on phone as instructed by the message that came up on watch ("connect phone's browser to apps.samsung.com/gear and select the Galaxy version of Gear"). What was happening to me was 1) Starting the phone Gear app, touching the "search for Gear watch" tool, pair message on watch (touch OK (check), it displayed "Setting up" animated message on watch face) then 2) the phone app crashed with message "check your phone for current version is OK and restart Gear app", ad infinitum. Did several uninstall/reinstalls of Gear phone app along with watch factory resets (recovery) tool. No luck. After reading several posts over past few days of various phone app/watch issues, I finally decided that the Galaxy version of the Gear app was not recognizing my phone as a Galaxy phone, due to the fact that it splashes GOOGLE on startup and not true "Samsung Galaxy" from the system firmware (no Touchwiz for example). So I went back to the same apps.samsung.com/gear on phone browser, and selected NON-Galaxy version this time-- and after reading a few helpful hints from various posts, I noticed some people were having better luck by side-loading a Samsung APK called "Gear Plugin" which I did. Then I restarted both, held my breath & VOILA! The Gear app on the phone finally paired & connected the watch within the app itself without crashing! (Happy days are here again) Hope this might give you something to work with to get yours hopefully connected & paired with your S7.
I have a oneplus 2 on cm13, root xposed, and I stuck on connecting. I installed the three recommend apps.
Someone can help me please?
I have gear s3 frontier and I connect it to my galaxy s7 edge phone. It works great but for last 2 weeks when I open samsung gear app in my phone it show a dialog with this message:
Notice
A new version is available. Update the app to continue
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Screenshot: goo .gl/QV9LcZ
I can't ignore it and the only option I have is to press the Update button. After that it show a screen that say :
Preparing to connect ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
screenshot: goo .gl/QFuD9h
When the progress bar complete, the app close automatically and disconnect the watch.
I checked "google play" and "Galaxy Apps" but there is no update available for "Samsung Gear" app. and currently I can't connect my watch to my phone.
The solution I tried to fix this problem:
I tried to uninstall Samsung Gear app and install it again with google play. It worked for few days but after that I have the above problem again
I use the option of "Connect to new phone" on my watch. It factory reset the watch and connected my watch to phone. But again after a few days I have the above problem.
How can I solve this problem. I seriously offended because both of my phone and watch was Samsung flagships but they can't connect to each other. If I can't solve this problem I will throw away my phone and watch and I will buy an iphone x with apple watch.
Similar issue here. I completed the update but the watch still shows this after multiple reboots and update checks:

I deleted the plugin and installed a previous version of plugin APK 2.2.03.17061361 , no longer getting the stopped notification but there is a side effect although the watch is connected through BT in the health app it says no gear connected otherwise its fine for the mo , but the gear app wants me to update but i'm reluctant to in case it reverts to the keeps on stopping notification ..................... don't even think samsung know there is an issue with the latest plugin version
Did you find a solution?
I have similar issues.
I'm having the same issue after the recent Tizen 4 update on the Gear S3 Classic and my S8+. It says, "Gear S Plugin has stopped" and I'm not getting any notifications or messages on my watch, it's been this way after two weeks and the updated Gear So Plugin says it's not compatible with my phone (anymore) on the Google Play Store! WTF?! I have reset my watch, cleared the cache, etc with no results. The watch works fine otherwise. What is going on?

Hello everyone,
I just got a Gear S2 (R732) with Tizen OS version 2.3.2.1 and software version R732XXU2EPK5.
When i start an update on the Wearable app on my phone (Pocophone F1) to update R732XXU2EQJ2 is completly downloads it on the phone. When i try to install it either Bluetooth or Wifi it just doesn't do anything and seems to disapear.
I went to factory reset many times, but it just won't update my Gear S2.
Is this a known issue? i search the forum and google but i can't find a solution.
*Edit: i might know why the issue appears: If i click on "install now" in the wearable app, it gives the notification: "Gear Modified" this is probably the issue. Question remains: can i fix this or do i just accept this?
Kind regards to all,
Tim
So I get this in my wearable app
