I read somewhere that the S2 works with the Goporo Hero 4. Anyone have any experience with the S3 and the original Gopro Hero 3 ? Lost my remote awhile ago and would be nice if I could get the watch to control the camera instead of using my phone all the time. Thanks..

I'm looking to see if the new Android Auto technology is compatible with the Galaxy Note 4 and if anyone here has had any success stories to share. I've read a thread in the past where users were having problems with the MirrorLink technology the Note 4 has built in. I don't want to spend $1k on a head unit that won't be compatible with my phone. My Note 4 is the Retail Verizon Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V).
When responding, PLEASE state what carrier you're on. This information is essential, as both Verizon and AT&T have locked bootloaders and are currently not permanently rootable, thus some connection settings may not be currently attainable.
I have Sprint Note 4 rooted and running the awesome Hybrid X Series odexed version
I have mirroring working on a newly installed Panasonic AVH-4100NEX head unit. I got the one without Nav because the navigation systems date the hardware and apps for nav have come a long way and pretty much replace built in nav.
Big help is to be found in the http://avic411.com/ forums. Mine can run video while under way but i will be running nav and YaV1 (yet another Valentine 1 app) rather than fooling with streaming video or DVDs.
Cheers

Thank you for your reply. When you first connected mirroring, were there any signs that the process was asking for root access? I would like to know if root IS required or not.
I only had my truck for an hour taking it from the stereo shop to the body shop. I tested with the AR Unchained Reloaded app, which requires root. When I get the truck back I can test it with my wife's non-root S4 if it has mirror capability. But I think it does not have mirroring. I would search on the avic411 forum. I'll take a look there too.
I have this problem
I had the Chevy Mylink in my 2016 Chevy Colorado Z71 updated through my dealership for the Andriod Auto software update and I'm working with a Samsung Note 4 (AT&T) with 5.1.1 and cannot get sound when playing music. I read the horror stories online about the troubleshooting and was hoping someone had a fix, any help or ideas? thanks
Hey sup everyone so today o realized i dont have the shot&more mode in camera's modes available ans since the summer is commin my phone can go under water .... this app can be helpful maybe maybe not anyway i realized its not available in samsung's store anymore for s7 (at least in canada) so i pulled it off from my s6 plus .... didnt have time to play with it around yet to be aware of any bugs ... but be my guests
From all i know it it makes the shot ?
Installed it on my s7 edge. The best-of-8 feature worked. But I don't see the other things and the UI like in this video (from the galaxy s5)

hi there .... i just watched the video you sent but to be honest with you ... I dont remember it working like this at least not in canada and I had both s5 and s6 phones and I was just playing with my s6 and there wasn't that UI either maybe it was released on the international variants but to be able to play around with it in the first place I'd have to have it but i think now all those features are automatically applied to the picture so it should be okay at least until someone will find way to make it work as in the video and I have to admit .... it looked pretty awesome
I just got my watch today, but it is not able to connect to my Tab S 8.4 LTE... The Gear manager in my tablet cannot find the watch even though it is right next to it. I tried to reboot both devices and turn the Bluetooth off and on, and nothing works. Really Samsung, not even compatible with your own galaxy devices?

No smartwatch from samsung was compatible with tablets, regardless phone capabilities of tablets. So...short answer...NO

This really sucks... My note 4 broke and I didn't want to buy a phone because I have a tablet that can take calls and want to wait for the S8 and the Note 8 next year...

The watch will work with every phone with 1.5 gb of ram and android 4.4 and up. I'm sure you will find a second hand S5 for 100 $ to use it for 3 or 4 months. Then resell it.

Yea, that is probably what I should do now. Good advice, thanks.
I'm in the same boat as you. My primary phone is (and will continue to be) a Tab A with telephony. It won't work with the S3, so I picked up a cheap Android that lives in my desk drawer and is only used on occasions when the watch needs to be paired with a phone.
I run a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 and i had to buy a used Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to pair and configure my Gear S3. What a pity !
Hi!
Any updates on this?
I spent last couple of days trying to pair Gear S3 with Tab 8.4 Pro (SM-T325) running stock kitkat 4.4 - no luck (((
It's such a shame that Samsung doesn't even make an attemp to make their own devices compatible with each other. Was a big surprise for me.
So, did anybody manage to couple Gear S3 with any tablet? If yes, how did you do it?
Good Morning Everybody,
So I am now rocking an Asus Zenwatch 3 and since the Android Wear 2.0 update is not coming, I am trying to get myself a new smartwatch.
I am thinking either to buy the Gear S3 or to stay on Android Wear 2.0 and going for the Huawei Watch 2 Classic or LG Watch Style.
My phone is not a Samsung and I don't intend in getting one soon, I currently have the Google Pixel XL and in a couple of days switching to the Blackberry Keyone.
Question, is this watch worthed and useful?
Does it work well with a non Samsung Device?
How's Tizen compare to Android Wear?
Thanks
The whole functionality you'll only get with a Samsung phone from 4.3/4.4. (Samsung Store/Pay, watch updates and so on often failes on different android-phones)
Some Android-phones are completely not supported (not only because of root and custom roms..), like my Mediapad X2...

(AndroidWear is working fine on my phone, without any limitations, also 2.0 update with my Huawei Watch 1)
I switched from using an LG to a Samsung phone with the S3.There was very little additional functionality gained. Here's a chart that compares all the features across Samsung, Android, and iOS devices.

Thank you guys
Well, I'm using it with the Blackberry Priv and I don't have any issues at all. It is connected via Bluetooth. I logs my walks, hikes and bike rides and I can view the info on the watch or in the S-health app on the Priv. I can update or install apps and watch faces from the Priv. I have been using S-pay which I still find weirdly fun to do!!!! But the Priv still runs Marshmallow. I don't know any details but there are or may be issues with Nougat on some aspects of the Gear S3 (others can let you know if S-pay works).
I'm also active on the Crackberry forum and there have been a few discussions of the Gear S3 there. There's also a Keyone thread and maybe you could ask for info.

Thank you. I will do
I'm using the S3 with a Moto G4 and everything works with no restrictions. Don't feel like you need a Samsung phone to use all the features.

What does the comment help all those who do not have all the functions with his android phone?
Or what is the general benefit of this observation?
Additionally, the thread creator has no Moto G4 -
if I am not wrong
I have been using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as the carrier with earlier a Gear S2 and now Gear S3 Frontier (and Moto 360 prior to the Gear watches), and absolutely love my S3.
The key aspects of the watch which I find very useful - The rotating dial and unique interface, excellent battery, nice in built S-Health, Samsung-Pay, etc should work with all Android phones. With Gear app and S-Health app available in Google App-store, anyone with an Android phone can install them and make use of them.
The other features I also like very much is ability to sync all messages and email on the S3 itself since I use the Samsung native messaging and email app on my Note5. This I believe will be the only things not available with other Android devices.
Overall - The message/email syncing, S-Pay from wrist, decent stock health tracking app, very intuitive and nice interface with rotating bezel, and extremely competitive battery life (I get 4 days with Always on Display off) has made me absolutely adore the S3.
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.
I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly
