can we compile a list of incompatible issues of all non-samsung phone?
as i know, non-samsung phone ...
1 ) no message app
2) cannot get paid apps
3) no accept call green button.
... any others?
Hi there !
Just got my Gear S2 Classic.
My phone is Huawei Honor 7 and, bad luck, Gear app was not compatbile with my phone (message "not available for your phone" on Android Play Store)
So, I've install all what was needed on my Wife's Sony Z3 compact
I've transferred the APK on my Honor 7 and ..... It worked !!
There are 3 APK to install
I am having another problem which I am pretty sure is due to not having a Samsung phone (nexus 6 running AICP).
I cannot log in to my Samsung account to download any apps (or I think to get app upgrades). When I first attach the watch after a reset I can access my Samsung account but after about a day I can no longer do so getting a message that due to inactivity my account has been logged out. When I try to log in, I get a progress circle for about 10 seconds and nothing happens.
Not a big deal since there are very few apps in which I am interested but annoying nonetheless.

Did you try to turn on "samsung gear" on "protected app"?
When it connected, can you access gear app store and install any gear app?
I'm thinking about switching from mediapad x2 to P8max because I got a blank app store issue. And I want to make sure P8 max do not have that problem first
Hi , I rooted my p8max and removed phone manager so has no security like that , connects when driving or screen on but when walking etc disconnects , Bluetooth streaming also cuts out , p8max streams music perfect to my LG tone BT phones .

When I did not root phone , tried putting gear manager in protected apps , did not make a difference
I've just purchased P8 max and it work perfectly fine with my gear s2 classic. No problem at all! I'm running stock rom, not rooted

I have a LG V10 H961N when Gear S2 are disconected bluetooth and Lg V10 have screen off Gear S2 doesn´t conected again auto i must screen on to conected again. Any fix for this??
Have a 'sport' S2 and Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro here.
Managed to install Samsung Gear app. Phone paired to watch over bluetooth just fine.
But when I launch Samsung Gear app and select my watch, it says Download Failed. Looks like some kind of incompatibility or lack of permissions. What do I do?
Hell, i've got a problem with my Gear S2.
I had a Galaxy Note 2 (Android 4.4.1) with the option to automatically lock the smartphone when the gear is too far and it was right.
Il bought a Galaxy Note 4 (Android 5.1) and set the watch on it, but on the Note 4 I can't find the parameter to lock the smartphone. I tried to uninstall / reinstall Gear Manager but I still cant' find it.
Does anyone can help me ?
Thanks
(Sorry for my english ;-] )
I think in the newer versions of Android the autolock feature has been replaced with SmartLock which will automatically unlock the phone when the device of interest (in this case the S2) is in range. However, it will not automatically lock the watch when the device is out of range. The phone will lock with whatever settings you have in your Security.

Thanks a lot Fred, I think you're right !!
It's the difference between Android 4.4 and Android 5.1.
I've just activate the function and i will test it now but it seems to be what i need.
Thanks again
After working with it for about a day or so, I seem to be at a loss as to how to connect my Gear S3 with my Note 4 Smartphone. It is running CM13. I am unable to use the Gear App from the play store as it tells me my device has been modified in an unauthorized way.
I attempted the Android Wear app as well. I modified my build.prop from userdebug to user and it let me connect, but the watch doesn't do anything different--it still remains on the samsung gear screen.
I realized there'll be limited connectivity if I manage it, but is there a way to connect the two?
So it seems that the Here wego maps/navigation app is not available for the s3 if you aren't using a Samsung phone. (I happen to use an LG v20)
Has anyone found a way to side load the app? Or what is the best alternative maps application for the s3?
Ok I found a way around the issue for anyone watching this thread... It's a little crazy and not for everyone.... I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy S7 as a work phone... I connected my S3 to that phone, where it installed HERE by default.... I then backed up the watch to my samsung account and then reconnected the watch to my LG V20 and restored the backup which included HERE.... Boom.... Problem solved
That's strange.. I got my S3 R-760 back in October 2017 from the UK. Immediately paired to a Sony Z5 and has been like that ever since, even after the ROM updates. One of the first things I did was to install HERE. Can't remember how exactly but it wans't a hassle so I assume straight from the watch or the store. I guess it has been removed after I installed it. Using it now as a standalone, no connection to the phone is required, just direct connection to the internet via wifi or hotspot. Of course I do not have the convenience of using it through the phone which could make it easier to search etc, but it is good enough.
Nice workaround you found, but for those that do not have the option of a Samsung phone, this thread could help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wego-t3724511/page3
Hmm - I downloaded from Google onto my OnePlus 5T, installed on watch from Gear store and that was it.

Hello,
My girl rooted (root access is fully given (Zygisk, Ramdisk)) her Z-Flip3 some days ago. Now she can't connect to her Smart watch (Samsung Watch Active) anymore. There's always a screen which says both devices are pairing but that's it. The process keeps stucking there.
I've been plumbing away a whole day searching a workable solution but nothing worked.....
That's what I've tried so far...
