How do I switch to a new phone? - Samsung Gear S3

Moving from an old temporary iphone to the new S8, do I need to factory reset my watch? Is there another way around this?

Smart watch.

It looks like you don't need to do a full reset.

This is correct. I have done it each time I upgraded my Samsung phone(s). Works for GS3 and GS2.

Perfect! I am going to be moving from my old launch GS6 to a Note8 tomorrow.

Should be the same if you're using the Gear manager app. Backup to Samsung account first.

Samsung gear manager and Samsung accessory service for phones that can't install

Some phones can't install Samsung gear and Samsung accessory services from play store. The one plus 2 is one of those device.
Here is the two files needed.
Install gear and services and your good to pair. I hope Samsung makes this work with every phone.
Here are the updated APK's (as of this morning): 10/26

Samsung Pay
Does anyone when our what's up with samsung pay app for the gear s2 is it out yet my watch says no payment app installed in the tap and pay section
Same issue!!
Same problem here. I tried to use the tap-n-pay at a location where I normally use my Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S6 Edge, and nothing happened. On my Gear S2 watch I went into Settings/Connections/NFC, then scroll down to Tap and Pay - and I get a screen which says, "Tap and pay (then shows sketch of tap n pay) No installed payment apps"
And unfortunately there is no Samsung Pay app in the Gear app store. So upset about this.

Not for me. If the screen is on the always on clock then I get notifications. If its on the black only screen I get nothing. This isnt working like it should. Ive tired everything. Ive turned on always on mode and then turned of wrist gestures and the always on clock will only stay on for about an hour and then it will just be a black screen and Ill get nothing. With always on set to on and wrist gestures to on I will only get notification if the screen just turned off or always on clock showing.
Are you using the Oneplus 2?

Yes. You think thats the issue?
I'm also using the OPT. Are you on the stock ROM? I'm using an OPT 2005 running Grarak's CM12.1 port.

6.0.1 live weather replacement?

They got rid of the live weather option for the lock screen with this update. Does anyone know of a replacement app that is similar? I'm not rooted and not planning on rooting either, I want my Samsung Pay.
Ahh man that sucks
Have you tried any launchers?

Tried some in the past, but they seemed to slow the phone down. The more i look though, that seems to be the only real alternative. So disappointing.
Any chance we could grab the app from 5.1.1 and install it to get it back?

Do we know what the name of the app is by chance?

thanks, but I'd like to stick with the stock rom... had a lot of trouble installing some feats I wanted
Pretty sure you just have to keep them on. It will start eventually. My vr works fine on stock mm
Are you 100% stock? Enable all disabled apps (facebook etc) and try again.

Facebook is the owner of Oculus right now & Oculus is the one behind Gear VR.
Ah. I did not know that. Makes sense now.
Hey guys, thanks for the responses. Strangely I've got no notifications about new posts...
Anyway! I didn't touch anything, only applied root through chainfire's odin method. The rest is pure stock. Should try again once I get back my Gear VR

EDIT: aaand it's working perfectly on 5.1.1 COJ5, cf-rooted.
check build prop model number and change it n920c

Samsung releases Tizen 4.0.0.2 for S3 Frontier!

Looks like it's not in the news yet, so here we go.
Got an update this morning: tizen 4.0.0.2 has arrived! Software version R760XXU2DSA1! :victory:
File size approx 300Mb
Pretty stoked to see Samsung taking care of more/less dated watch. Probably last update before new Galaxy sport rolls out.
Thoughts, ideas, etc..?
@adfree, it happened!
Nice, saw this on SamMobile. Does anyone know how to force the update? I have the S3 Frontier on Verizon.
They started to roll the update out a few hours ago.. give it a few days, I'm sure you'll get it.
Just got it on my S3 Classic R770XXU2DSA1 , 301 Mb

Did someone find out how selecting the source app for music is supposed to work? On mine gear sport I can't figure it out. Music app looks and works like before.

It probably doesn't help you since I have the s3 frontier but I hit the 3 dot menu on the side, then I hit the phone looking icon that says music player. That brings up where you can select the source app

Thanks for your answer. Just minutes ago, there was no 3 dot menu on my watch. But now, after updating the gear s plugin on my phone, it is there. Now I am able to choose, too!
No update here. Frontier s3 watch only. Ireland.
Not that i need it.. 3 days battery is enough for me so far.

Galaxy watch uses tizen OS so don't think Google wear will work. You need to use Galaxy wear app.
