Hi there, I would like to ask if Samsung S3 mini is compatible with Samsung Gear. According to the official website for the Samsung Gea, it only supports up to 17 devices as listed below:
1. Samsung Galaxy S5
2. Galaxy Grand 2
3. Galaxy Note 3
4. Galaxy Note 3 Neo
5. Galaxy Note 2
6. Galaxy S4
7. Galaxy S3
8. Galaxy S4 Zoom
9. Galaxy S4 Active
10. Galaxy S4 mini
11. Galaxy Mega 6.3
12. Galaxy Mega 5.8
13. Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
14. Galaxy NotePRO (12.2)
15. Galaxy TabPRO (12.2/ 10.1 /8.4).
The question is, does it really limited to all these devices? and it is not depends on the Android version of the running device?
My phone, i8190 N-variant, is currently rooted, running on Cyanogen 11 Android version 4.4.4.
Can I do anything about it? I need to get a smartwatch that is able to use along and be programmed with my phone. I need it for my project purpose, to write an application that make use of a smartwatch as input data.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

I have rooted my Gear 2 and now I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S4 mini.
Will my gear still work with my phone after that I have installed another version of Android on my phone?
Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 (2016) with Android 6.0.1.
I can not connect my smartphone with my smartwatch (Samsung Gear 2 Neo).
I have installed the APP Samsung Gear,
but when I run it, after you turn on the Blutooth and tried to connect,
Samsung Gear responds "Verify that the Samsung Gear app is compatible with your device and if an update of the software is needed".
You can help me ?
Thank you.
My samsung galaxy s4 gt-i9507v do not accept playstore and virtually everything works on playstore. Please i need help in either upgrading from the present version (5.0.1) to something higher.
I am fairly new to this and I am unsure if I can load Android 4.4 onto an A12. I am getting a new phone and was hoping to get a phone which would have Android 4.4. I couldn't find one with my provider. I'm kinda inexperienced so any help would be great. If it makes any difference I would be buying the phone and a plan through T-Mobile.
This is the phone I would be getting: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone/samsung-galaxy-a12?sku=610214668899
Dear Npet2301,
you cannot flash Android 4.4 ("Kitkat") on a Galaxy A12.
It's simple: Android 4.4 was released in 2013-2014 for most devices back then. The Galaxy A12 comes pre-loaded with Android 10.
I'm a member of this forum for more than 6 years now, having more than six Android Phones, and I have never seen that you can flash a version, which is older than the one your phone was shipped with. Not even a custom Rom will make that possible and I also think that no developer will ever try that out either, since
a) Why Android 4.4? It's old and a total waste of potential on a phone with 2021 hardware on
b) It doesnt support the 64 bit Architecture processor of the A12
So, before you ask if any version after 4.4 (5.0- 9.0) can be installed on the A12. Simple = No.
*Some of the last Galaxy phones of the several Android versions were:
Android 4.4 (2014): Galaxy S3 Neo, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2/3/4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy A3/A5/A7 2015
