Hello,
you propally already know that the features 'nfc.tag' and 'nfc.peer-peer' in the Gear S2 are currently not officially supported.
So I would like to know if you think that it might be possible to unlock all features (especially nfc.tag) for the Gear S2 by rooting etc.?
Or could it really be that the NFC-chip is by hardware technically unable with that?
Here is a example where unlocking NFC on the iPhone was succesful: https://www.macobserver.com/news/nfc-on-iphone-can-be-unlocked-but-should-you-care/. And here a XDA thread where someone got to unlock full NFC support on a Sony Smartwatch 3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/orig-development/sony-smartwatch-3-nfc-support-package-t3219713
If you have an opinion I would like to know it and if you have a concrete idea it would be even better.
Thank you.

No cause the gear 2 is more powerful than the sw2
Gear 2 runs Tizen, no way the SW2 can handle that
Hi Guys,
Look for the Gear 2 to be my first ever smart watch, but just need with some simple questions answered, even after reading the forums, I'm not clear. Appreciate your help:
1. Is it true with the modded Tizen NE5, I can pair the Gear 2 with ANY Android phone beyond 4.4.2 like the LG V10 for example?
2. If Q # 1 is yes, can I use all features of the G2 like the IR Blaster, Camera, Cellular capability?
3. Last question, if I put Android Wear on it, I understand the Camera won't work? What else? The sound? Speaker and mic for calls?
Thank you so much in advance for your responses! Will need someone to help before I buy ....
Hi Team,
Just wondering if it would be possible to create an app for the Gear S2 for unlocking NFC enabled door locks such as the Samsung SHS-1321 NFC Enabled Door Lock?
Cheers

I am interested in this application as well, I feel it would be of benefit, I will look more into it
Excellent, thank you! I am glad to hear I am not the only only one who sees value in this solution.

This is one of the things that drives me insane about Samsung.
This is a great idea and for s company like Samsung who is trying to get into the home altomization so bad they should have made this already.
They should have a Samsung Pay app for the watch by now.

Yes, they should have. However, it may be a more realistic idea to have other third parties making it a reality. Other companies also have similar solutions just not an app for the Gear S2.
Ospon Android Smart NFC door lock
Apartment condo Android NFC smart door lock OS6600NFC
Smart Phone Open NFC door lock
All of these are on AliExpress and have there own phone apps.
Would it be any easier develop a android wear app?
Cheers

do anyone have a app that can generate a NFC code on S2. I can program the hardware (arduino, raspberries, nodemcu. ..) to receiver and process that code.
Just stuck on NFC of gear s2
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...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/how-to-gear-s3-unsupporteted-android-t3521532
(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.
I see that some users have found kernels and what not but i'm not extraordinary at this stuff. Could someone that has honestly, fully rooted a Gear S3 frontier with android please post a video showing how to do it. I don't understand all the terminology and when to do which steps. I'm just a guy who wants his expensive watch to run google play music and have access to the android market. Please help!
NO known Android Port exists... not for Gear S2 nor S3...
Different reasons...
On Gear S3 also bigger problems to achieve ROOT... as higher security exists.
Thanx to Samsung.
Best Regards
So anything i'm seeing where someone is claiming to have done it is fake?

You have to differ few things...
Leaked Service Firmware packages called Combination Firmware are rooted... because Samsung Service Firmware.
Example for rooted SERVICE Firmware... BQC2 for SM-R760:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588082
But it was NOT possible yet... to root "normal" Firmware like BQC5:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/development/rom-samsung-gear-s3-sm-r760-t3588062
Their are BIG differences between Combination Firmware and normal Retail Firmware for End user...
So for most users Combination Firmware is useless... as limited in Features you know...
Best Regards
