Uber is now available for the S2

Just downloaded it from the Gear app store, and seems to be working nicely from a quick glance. Didn't book a car yet, but it connected to my account, found my location etc. Also seemed to be working on 3g with the watch remotely connected to the phone (not via BT), which means it should work even if the phone isn't on you (though I'd totally test this for real before counting on it )

Annoying that you need a companion phone app even if you have the normal app installed on your phone, bit seems to work well.

Agree, though at least it seems to also work when connected remotely to the phone, so hopefully this means you don't need to have the phone with you for it to work.
For those interested, eBay app is now also available in the store since earlier today...

I can't see an Uber app in the Gear store. Is it a paid app, and are you on Samsung phones?

I also can't find it in the store. Probably not available in every country...

I'm in the US though. My guess is the same Samsung-phones-only restriction that applies to paid apps also applies to free apps that support some kind of in-app billing - which Uber would have to, if it plugs into a separate app instead of the regular Play Store one.
I really hope Samsung fixes this soon.

Can't find Uber on Samsung Apps for S2. No matter paid or free apss. Samsung phone.

Strange indeed...I can see it now and it's even on the Staff Picks section (see attached). My full setup - Tmo 3G Gear S2; Tmo Samsung Note 4 phone, in the US on Tmo network

Hi everyone! Can anyone get the installation file from the Samsung App store and upload it here? it's possible?

Even with paid apps now showing up, presumably meaning everyone should have access to all the same apps, I still can't see the Uber app in the store!
Maybe the S2 sport and classic have different hardware numbers or something, and Uber did something dumb and only enabled the app for one of them? I'm on classic; any other classic users want to chime in with whether or not you can access the Uber app?

I'm on sport version and I still can't find this app in the store. News about Uber is fake? I didn't find any information about it but this forum

I tried contacting Uber support about this and they replied with instructions to download the phone app. Replied letting them know it's customary to read support tickets before answering them. Will update if I get anything useful from them.

Just switched phone from Samsung Galaxy Alpha to Blackberry Priv. Uber S2 app was available on the Alpha but can't find it on the Priv. Pretty annoying. Anyone else notice the same?

I can not find the app in Gear Store - Have a Gear S2 sport version - bought in Norway.
Uber responded this on twitter to me:
"@SimenPR Please note that the Uber app is only available for the S2 model."
Very little helpful in other words.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge..

nothing here - Gear S2 Classic + BlackBerry Priv

cant find on my phone

Does anyone know how to get the installer and install it manually?

Samsung Gear App Update

Hi Everyone,
I just received an update to my Samsung Gear App on my Note 5 this morning.
Does anyone have any idea what new features that update might have for the Gear S2?
Thanks
Updated: Not sure if I actually received a new update or not. It looks like my app version says that it is still the one that was released in November on the play store. But my app definitely prompted and did an update this morning. Anyone else seeing this?

I got it as well, but see no differences.

Not the "Samsung Gear" app, only the "Gear Plugin", and the "Samsung Accessory Service" applications are updated today (in my case, on HTC One M9 - Hungary).
Nothing noticeable changes, the changelog say "Fix socket issue" on Accessory Service, and "Support M OS" on Gear Plugin...

Ah ok, thanks for the information, I was hoping for some good stuff haha.....owell

FYI:
If you get an update for the Samsung Gear Manager, it'll change NOTHING on your Gear S2 (for that, you need a firmware-update of the Gear S2)...

How do you make the store show all items?

I apologize if it has been asked, but I couldn't find anything on it. I have an LG V10 and I know Samsung users get the "full" store. For example, my friend has the same watch but has a Note 4 and he can download the Pip Boy watch. Is there any way to install the Samsung version of the store, or an I just out of luck?

I and a lot of others have the same issue. I thought it was because I have a non Samsung phone, but I tried through my wifes Note 4 and no luck.. Can't find/see and search everything. SUCKS!!

That's really unfortunate. I thought for sure it was a Samsung/non-samsung issue. I guess I'll have to wait it out in hopes of an update to the store ?

Hi,
I use Surfeasy VPN.
This way I can select different region/country. then open the samsung Gear apps and see if there are any 'extra apps'

Where do we find that apk or upgrade for a non Samsung phone?

Samsung Pay

Got this in my watch.

Bluetooth or Carrier Version? Also is this in the USA?

I didn't touch anything. Saw i had a new notification and that is what popped up. It says to push and hold back button to install samsung pay. When i do that it opens galaxy apps on my phone (note 5) and i get a message stating app is unavailable. Going to l go to the store tonight or tomorrow and try it to see what happens.

Hmmmm....Hopefully this is finally an end to the extremely slow rollout

Nothing

I have not gotten it yet...

I got the same message. The app is installed on my watch (Gear S2 Classic Platinum with Bluetooth). My phone is a S7 Edge. I get the "This app is not available for your device. (com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear.2290:4002)" error message. Check occasionally, to see if there is an update to the phone app, but so far nothing. BTW, I have been using Samsung Pay, on the S7 Edge from the day I received it, and it works fine.

Can't they just not make it to where you can select, either Samsung Pay or Android Pay???

Here we go!

Ok. Got this far anyway. So disappointed.

I finally found Samsung Pay Beta app, but sadly I got the same error. Gear S2 Classic Bluetooth/Wi-Fi in USA here.

I haven't gotten the watch firmware update yet, but my Gear app on my Note 4 phone just started showing a new link to "Samsung Pay Beta." Clicking on it (so far) gets an error message: "this app is not available for your device."

where do I download app?

New update. Won't let me add any of my Wells Fargo cards at this time, but it would let me add my Amazon Chase Visa. Going to give it a try here in a little bit. Wish me luck!

That's a good question. Mine just showed up. I've searched for it in Galaxy Apps, but it doesn't show.

Do you have the BT or a Carrier version? I ask cause I have an AT&T version and I haven't received an update nor can I find it in the app store (Galaxy App).

I've got the BT version. I'd imagine carrier will take longer.

You're probably right and I really don't see why it should since its nothing that would be carrier specific.

Clicked the Samsung Pay Beta under the Gear Manager. I get this....grrrrr

Before I buy, will OP6 work with Samsung gear S3 100%?

I have a S7 that will be replaced soon and I rather have a OP6 than a S9, but it has to work with my Gear S3 and use all it's functions like Samsung pay, phonecalls, Samsung health. Also that the Bluetooth can handle 2 Connie tons at the same time like bt audio in my car/Sony bt headphones.

all exept samsung pay will work. having op6 or s9 to decide, i wouldn't even consider s9..

Haven't tested samsung pay but everything else is working fine on mine.

I get my op6 Tuesday, and one of the first things I'll do is set up my gear s3. I'm really hoping Samsung pay will work. According to some initial research, it's seems possible. Lots of mixed results. I'll definitely come back with some results next next week.

I have a Bluetooth Gear S3 classic and an OnePlus 6. Everything works (Samsung pay included) though I had to use apkmirror to download the Samsung Pay (gear plug-in) app.

Yeah looked like from what I read you have to have the "plug-in" app, but I thought you could get it from the playstore. Did it not show up in the playstore?
Edit: now that I think about it, it's all done through the Samsung gear app. However others have had the same issue where the plug-in fails to install. In which case the solution is as Dennis says above.

yeah I don't think Number Sync will work but via Bluetooth it will, My Gears S2 works so the S3 should be fine via Bluetooth

It was not on the play store for me, but apkmirror is run by the Android police guys and is reliable. They even show when the signature for a file is the same as on the play store (which it is for everything I've come across).

Been using my Gear S3 (Frontier) with no problems at all. Works very well thus far - enough to get me to dump my Apple Watch finally.
Now to find a way to replace the stupid 1+ phone app and this is a keeper for sure.

I have a 5t and a gear s3.
Everything works fine calls etc. Samsung pay is the hardest to get working. I had to install the apk from apk mirror. Also if yous ever chnage roms use titanium backup to backup every samsung app and its services or the watch will need to reset itself.
Btw if u root. Use magisk hide to hide all the samsung apps.
Fyi use google messages so u can reply on the watch. And if u can/want use googles phone app.

Thank you for all your input!
Now I can go agead and order the phone:good:

Working:
Latest version of samsung pay APK doesn't work.
Downloaded much older version and it worked like a charm:

You might need to enable "install unknown apps"

Hey mate. I tried installing this on my oneplus 6 , the apk file installs fine but when I open it I get the following error message.
''Unable to continue using samsung pay, your gear may not be supported.''
Was it the oneplus 6 you managed to get this working on ? or was it a different model.
Cheers

I got that message too and several errors trying to reach the server but eventually it'll work. Try uninstalling samsung pay plugin, gear app and factory reset on the watch, then download both apps on the phone, pair with the gear app, when you install the smasung pay plugin using the apk, tap on update and then add your cards

I hear that it's better then it was but still can be flaky. Just gotta play some games to get it to wrok right I guess. Gonna wait for the new S4 watch that is ditching Tizen OS and finally going with Android Wear OS.

OnePlus 6. Find the 1.5 apk and install that.
Worked for me. Newer versions tended to give me errors like you did.
Been using samsung pay for the past month successfully. Extra bonus, the 1.5 apk has limited compatibility with the samsung gear app unlike later versions. A nice bonus is if safetynet fails(ie: magisk failed to hide it), samsung pay on the watch still works flawlessly.

I don't know if Samsung pay will work or not because I have a rooted op6 phone, and I know it doesn't work very well with rooted phones. I finally just broke down and bought a Galaxy S5 for 75 bucks on eBay and I have it plugged in at home 24/7. I used to set up my watch and Samsung pay and since it's a Samsung phone it works 100% over the internet. Non-samsung phones require a Bluetooth connection with their host phone to work with all of the features. So my Samsung phone at home connects with my gear S3 watch over the internet no matter where I am. it works like a champ for me and I'm not having to wipe my watch and reset it up every 3 days because I'm messing around with my Op6. I have been thinking about trying to get at work I'm going to be 6 just for grins and if I do I will report back here lol.

I have been using the gear S3 frontier with the op6 from the beginning, I've had the phone since launch, and everything works 100%.

Use magisk hide so Samsung pay works on one plus.

I have the Gear S3 Frontier with a Oneplus 6T that just arrived yesterday.
Everything was downloaded and installed by the Google Play store.
It works just like it did on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Now I'm wondering if Samsung Pay will detect if I root or not. I did not take this chance on my Galaxy Note 5
