Hi
Dear Friends
The S3 is great ,,,,,, and the Tizan is amazing
but the problem is in the connection to android , I am wondering why large amount of phones are not supported , samsung did this trick to force us to buy there phones -which is smart move - but I am sure that we can connect any phone to the Gear S3
, and I think instead of trying to port android to S3 (Bad idea )
we can just give the Tizan its chance , by simply smart effort form our GENUS developer here , and remove the connectivity block
any one can help me ? , I tried this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-samsung-gear-app-android-n-samsung-t3547035
but it is not working
My phone : Moto g 1st gen , rooted android 5.1
Thanks
I've had my Gear S3 for about a week now and it works beautifully with my rooted/ROMd Nexus 6p. The only thing that won't work that I know of so far is Samsung Pay...
Maybe because your phone only has 1GB of ram and doesn't support Bluetooth 4.2?

how can I connect ?
This is direct from Samsung's website.
The Gear S3 also works with a wide range of smartphones. Compatible with Android 4.4 and higher with over 1.5GB RAM

Unless you can physically add more RAM to your phone and update the BT, you're hardware limited unless you can find some way to trick the watch into a BT 4.0 compatibility mode and find an APK that will run on 1GB of RAM...

It doesn't work that way, and your "Ram Expander" won't help.
No means no.

As for your wifi hotspot. Pull down your notification bar and touch the wifi sign. It should activate and show you a list of available connections. As for the terminology there is a thread in the general section of Galaxy R. Hope it helps.

Hi there! I was going to buy the Gear S2 but i currently own a LG G Stylo (with 1GB of RAM) and just found that it needs to have at least 1.5GB of RAM. Is there a way to bypass this? is it going to work with my phone but with a limit? I really wanted the watch because it makes my work a lot easier. I currently own a Gear S, but it isnt compatible with my LG either, so i was going to try this one that says it does. Thanks a lot in advance guys!
I have removed the minimum RAM requirement check from the Samsung Gear app, so it's now also compatible with devices that have only 1GB of RAM.
Below is link to my blog where you can download the modified Samsung Gear app.

I just got my watch today, but it is not able to connect to my Tab S 8.4 LTE... The Gear manager in my tablet cannot find the watch even though it is right next to it. I tried to reboot both devices and turn the Bluetooth off and on, and nothing works. Really Samsung, not even compatible with your own galaxy devices?

This really sucks... My note 4 broke and I didn't want to buy a phone because I have a tablet that can take calls and want to wait for the S8 and the Note 8 next year...

The watch will work with every phone with 1.5 gb of ram and android 4.4 and up. I'm sure you will find a second hand S5 for 100 $ to use it for 3 or 4 months. Then resell it.

Yea, that is probably what I should do now. Good advice, thanks.
I'm in the same boat as you. My primary phone is (and will continue to be) a Tab A with telephony. It won't work with the S3, so I picked up a cheap Android that lives in my desk drawer and is only used on occasions when the watch needs to be paired with a phone.
I run a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 and i had to buy a used Samsung Galaxy S4 mini to pair and configure my Gear S3. What a pity !
Hi!
Any updates on this?
I spent last couple of days trying to pair Gear S3 with Tab 8.4 Pro (SM-T325) running stock kitkat 4.4 - no luck (((
It's such a shame that Samsung doesn't even make an attemp to make their own devices compatible with each other. Was a big surprise for me.
So, did anybody manage to couple Gear S3 with any tablet? If yes, how did you do it?

This is important to me. I have a Mercedes Benz CLA45 AMG and am frustrated MirrorLink would never work with my HTC 10. I have read that MirrorLink is really picky on the version being ran on the phone vs what is on the vehicle but it is a PIA to even troubleshoot. Hoping the issue is with connectivity is my current device and am anxious to move to the S8+. That will be one of the first things I test. I'll report back to see if any one updates. I believe TMobile devices may land a day or so early.

I should be getting mine, in 6 days. If the delivery doesnt get ****ed up. I will test aswell. I just heard rumors, and some article mentioning that it should have MirrorLink.
But I havent seen anyone confirming this

NICE
Mostly google maps and spotify
And thanks for getting back with it
I wish my cars had it ('15 pathfinder, '15 corvette and '14 ML350) Wouldn't mind sending the image to my screen.
Had the Galaxy S8 for a few days now and to my surprise, I can confirm that it does have MirrorLink! I bought it thinking it didn't.
My car has a Sony XAV-602BT double-din headunit so I will try this out shortly and report back!
Yeah it does have, here's even screenshot of function
Bad news...
So I tried my Galaxy S8 on my Sony XAX-602BT and MirrorLink does not work
My head unit flickers for a split second as if it's about to work and then nothing. The headunit just says to connect a supported device. I've tried numerous ways of connecting it with different cables, switching the headunit of then connecting and vice versa but same result. The S8 registers as being connected via MirrorLink though.
It's not an issue with the headunit as this works with my two previous phones, my Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z albeit a buggy experience.
I've done some research and it seems to be because MirrorLink 1.1 only letting you use certain apps which have the right certificates.... Problem is, there are hardly any useful MirrorLink certified apps since it's such a niche thing to have!
On my two previous phones MirrorLink would work but it would just mirror whatever is on the screen which was useful when it actually worked... I've always found MirrorLink to be buggy at best: constant disconnects, overheating phone, audio drops, battery not charging, screen freezing etc.
My advice: If you want the S8 or the S8+ then go for it as they are amazing phones. Upgrade your headunit to one that supports Android Auto as that does work reliably and will have much more support than MirrorLink since Google are backing it.
Did anyone try the LG mirrorlink app with S8? I can't get it to work because it recognizes the samsung phone.
It was fine on S7 and it offers full screen mirroring even when driving.
Samsung Galaxy S8 + Suzuki Vitara with Mirrorlink, it does work. You need to have mirrorlink compatible apps installed.

Yes!
In galaxy app store you have Samsung car mode, check if your car is compatible.

Hi, somebody found the solution ?
I've the same matter. Mirrorlink confirm that my S8 and my car Volkswagen are compatible but I'm not able to link my S8 to my VW !?
Android auto was installed on my cell.
Mirrorlink does not work on rooted devices
go to stock it will work

No matter now !
Hi,
My matter between my Galaxy S8 and my car with Mirrolink is now ok
I just use another cable....
I don't know why. I know with Apple if you have a cable from another brand, you should have some matter. But with Samsung, I'm very surprise !
Thanks all
Hi all,
I'm looking at buying my first smart watch and the gear s2 seems to tick all the boxes for me. However, I've come across the gear app and plugin app in the play store and the reviews are terrible, with users bringing up issues with connectivity dropouts and the like.
I just wondered on your experiences on non-samsung phones with the S2?
(I'm on Nexus 6P, non rooted, 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I have a GS2 Classic paired to a Moto Droid Turbo 2. Generally, no problems.
Occasional disconnects after upgrading to Nougat, but less than one/week.

There are few differences in features available on the watch when using Samsung phone vs other brands. I know this first hand because I switched from a LG to a Samsung. But don't take my word for it, here's a chart that highlights the differences.
https://www.sammobile.com/2017/01/1...res-that-are-missing-from-the-gear-s3-on-ios/
Fine on xperia Z5C
All go fine on p9 lite. No issues and good connectivity.
However you can pair with all Android (4.3+) and at least 1.5GB of RAM. I read that you can pair the watch to smartphones with 1GB of RAM, but you have to modify Samsung Manager apk, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/pair-gear-s2-moto-g-t3323385.
Yes you can use it with smartphone that has 1GB of RAM, but you need to use a modified Samsung Gear app.
Modified Samsung Gear app is available on my blog, I will try to update it as frequently as possible.

First experience I connect Gear S2 to Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Connection without problem but Gear app crashed. I solve it by installing older version of Gear app from APK mirror ( app from april 2016). It have no limitation. It was probably caused by ROOT.
Next I connect it to Moto Z play. No problem at all.
using non samsung phones we lost all the paid apps, right?
That s*cks :/

App purchases are tied to your Samsung account, not the device. They only need be purchased once. Devices can be changed at will.
