Hi all-
There was a new version of both the Gear Manager and the Gear Plugin on the play store in the U.S. today. I am using a non-Samsung phone (Nexus 6) running a CM based Lollipop ROM (AICP) and I found that the Gear Plug In does not allow notifications to get to the watch or for the watch to control the music player.
I had been running version 15101601N (last portion of version number) and everything worked great. When I installed 15111841N from the Play Store the watch still showed up as connected but no notifications were getting to the watch. I restored my old version of the Plugin with Titanium and everything worked again. I tried this twice with the same result, even resetting the watch while the new plugin was installed (the watch would not even get through the setup process).
My theory is there is something with the new plugin that is not allowing the phone and watch to actually exchange data even though they are connected.
Note that the new version of the Gear Manager causes no problems as it is currently installed and working with the old Plugin.
If someone knows a work around, please let me know. If not, I hope this helps someone else sort their problems if they occur for them.
Cheers,
Fred
Is notification access still checked on your phone? are you getting other notifications with the new plugin? I haven't updated mine (yet)
Edit - I installed the updates on mine with no issues. I'm receiving my notifications and music controls seem to be working fine
Thanks for the reply. I just noticed that I did not see the Samsung Accessory Service which also had an update. I installed that and then the new Gear Plugin and it works fine.
Sorry for the post.

Hello I have question, do you know if Mi 5 is compatible with the smartwatch Samsung s 3?
I am going to buy but I am not sure if both of them are working together.

Yes i have both of them and they are working well.
Hi there,
just new to this forums.
Do you use the standard Samsung Software to connect your Gear S3 to the phone or some third party tools?
I tried to sync a Gear fit2 with the samsung gear software.. The devices connect but no software downloads can be done. Maybe this has something to do with missing software rights?
Thank you for a quick heads up.

I have both, and they work fine until I move away from my phone and they disconnect. My issue is that when I go back close to my phone, sometimes they don't reconnect automatically.
Not sure if it's something I need to change in phone's settings?
It wasn't happening with the watch and my old Galaxy S4...
The reconnection issue is something that I had using my S3 note and the old Gear1.
Was fixed with the newest software versions.
Which software components do you use connectiong your Gear S3 to the Mi5?

Samsung Gear v.2.2.16101261
Gear S Plugin v.2.2.03.16122941N
I believe they are the latest?
I have been using the pair for couple of weeks. It works fine for call and notification but it sometimes randomly disconnected even they sat next to each other. I'm trying to setup permission for those app/plugin. Nothing seems to work (still keeping disconnected) any suggestions?

Hi,
I solved my issue with upgrading my OS version to 6.0.1 (Marshmallow). I am using Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and experienced all issues you mentioned prior upgrading.
best of luck
I just got this watch yesterday and I am trying to set up Samsung Pay on it. As far as I know it is the US Version unless the Amazon seller lied. I am in the USA with a Galaxy Note 4 (6.0.1) paired, and when I turn on NFC in connections on the watch, and go to tap and pay, it says "no installed payment apps." I have tried installing Samsung Pay for Gear apks from online that all gave me the error "Unable to continue using Samsung Pay. Your gear may not be supported." Is there any way that anyone knows to get this working? Holding down the back button on the watch does nothing. I have checked for updates within the Gear app and it says I am up to date, yet there is no "Samsung Pay" section in the settings side of my Gear Manager app.
From Gear App itself:
Samsung Gear App Version: 2.2.17022862
Gear S Plugin Version: 2.2.03.17051161
From the Gear:
Tizen 2.3.2.2
Software R732...EQC1
Knox 2.0
From phone's app manager:
Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.41_170404
SASystemProviders 2.3.99
Are there other application dependencies that I may need to update? When I was setting up the watch it seemed to have trouble so I had to update everything from apk's online, also I had a Gear 2 Neo before this.
The SPay versions I tried were 1.2 and 1.4 and I tried installing the SPay Framework 2.7
The Samsung Pay app doesn't show up in the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store.
I've been reading the forums and it appears as though SPay got off to a rocky start for Gear S2, is it still like that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In my Gear S2 I did not need to install any APK. Just click on the "Samsung Pay" option in the Gear app for smartphone and it automatically downloaded the applications and installed them automatically.
I have a Gear S2 3G, Tizen 2.3.2.1 and I live in Brazil and I did not have any problems.

I'm not sure if I was unclear, but I said I do not have that section in my Gear app for some reason.

No it should be all US but I would like to verify with the serial number or something but I don't know how
Don't know if this is resolved, but it could be that the SPay only works when connected to an SPay compatible phone. I have been using it since the Note5 (now have an S8) with no issues, other than the rocky start of setting up cards. There is a separate app in the galaxy store that updates the gear SPay and phone SPay. Everytime there is an update to SPay, I get a download for my gear and a download for my phone. If you can't find it in the galaxy store, it may be because the phone is not supported.

See that's what I thought, but that was when I had my Galaxy Note 4. Now I've upgraded to a Galaxy S8+ (unlocked USA version) so I should have no issues. Maybe resetting the Gear S2 in some way will fix it, I'll have to try. It did do a "light reset" when I connected it to my new phone. Thanks for the input though!
UPDATE
A factory reset did not fix the issue. Still unresolved
Hi I have same issue gear s2 classic pairred with s8 but i haven't got Samsung pay beta on gear manager either did you get it resolved ?

No I contacted samsung support and they had no clue, I'm thinking they must have given me the international version on Amazon
I have US Gear S2 Classic SM-R732. FW R732XXU2EQH1, Tizen 2.3.2.2.
Samsung pay works fine. Both with Note 4, Note 5 and Note 8. In fact it also works without phone present, just tap and pay just wearing your watch (and some clothes ?)
Activation of Samsung Pay is to long press top button... Doing so for the first time it asks you to do necessary steps to activate Samsung Pay... then add cards... ready.
Suggest to try this first!
NFC of phone is not playing a part at all.
Samsung Pay also worked with two previous FW versions.

Yes the issue here is that long pressing the button does not open anything, I'm on the same firmware version.
Tizen version nor Model Name nor Firmware Version nor CSC Version is the "magic" identification part...
It is simple active CSC/ Sales Code on device... Factory written... and hidden for normal End User... no idea why...
Example:
Code:
DBT for Germany
XAR for US
You could identify your active Sales Code via Tool SDB for instance... alternate way is to check few files from Gear S Plugin... on Android handset...
In THEORY it is possible to force SPay... but dangerous sideeffects possible...
Example for 1 forced way to enable SPay... look at Video:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73982855&postcount=213
Here you can see, how 1 user checked his active CSC... Sales Code... few Screenshots visible... maybe then more clear...:

same problem here
I have a S2 Sport and a Galaxy S7 both bought in the U.S but I live in Brazil.
Samsung pay works fine on the S7, but doesnt show up on gear manager.
Long pressing the back button on the gear does nothing.
i found an apk "Samsung pay for gear plugin" online and installed it, but when I opened said my gear was not found or not compatible
Since I updated my Pixel to Android 8.0 Oreo about a month ago, I don't get any notifications any more. The only thing that seems to be working is phone calls which I can see on my gear.
What I've tried to do, to solve it:
- Cleared data for the Gear app
- Uninstalled and reinstalled all Samsung applications
- Factory reset the Gear
- Checked that the Gear app has permission to notifications
- Checked that the Gear has the latest firmware
- Rebooted my Pixel
- Tried to connect my Gear S3 to a Huawei phone running Android 7.0 (notifications worked)
- Contacted Google that said the issue probably is because the Samsung app doesn't support Oreo
- Contacted Samsung that said Google is "probaby right" and I'll have to wait for an firmware update for the Gear which they have no ETA for?
If Google is right, everyone with Oreo should have this problem? Or atleast someone else? Is that the case?
I have Oreo beta on my Nokia 8 and have no problems which weren't present on nougat.
No issues with notifications.
Sent from my TA-1012 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Ok, does anyone else have any idea of what can be the issue for me?
I'm having the same issue. Also with my pixel. Tried everything you have also done. Almost at the stage I'm about to switch back to my old moto 360 until they release a patch. Not being able to receive any type of notification is a deal breaker for me.
have you tried to clean cache, stop the Bluetooth process on pixel and run it again?
Anybody got solution for this?
I upgraded OnePlus 3 to Oreo and notifications stopped showing on Gear.
Soon afterwards I upgraded Gear to Tizen 3 but that didi't solve problem.
The new software update that was released a few days ago solved the issue for me.
Exactly the same problems and frustrations
In short, have tried all the same actions as set out by yourself. No Gear 3 notifications started with Pixel upgrade to Android 8.0. Like others have stated here, makes wearing and relying on Gear watch very marginal. I bought Gear watch to pickup notifications when doing outdoors, relatively hands free sporting activities.
Everyone: please keep THIS discussion thread alive in search of eventual solution. Thanks. John, Sydney Australia
Same issues
I recently purchased a gear s3 Frontier watch, after much researching, it was the one that most fit my wants.
It is paired with my Pixel phone and for the first 3 or 4 days it worked great but now I don't receive any notifications at all except for Samsung Health... Notifications are all turned on but nothing comes through?
It seemed to have started with the Tizen 3.0 update. But could't say if it was immediately after or a day or two later. I've done multiple resets but nada.
Phone calls do come through to the watch but my phone doesn't ring anymore when the watch is connected..
No settings were changed on the watch or the phone app.. One day it worked fine, the next day, everything quit...
This is very disappointing... these notifications were the reason I wanted a smart watch in the first place.
Any idea whats going on?
The watch is SM-R760 running Tizen 3.0.0.1 version R760XXU2CQL1
Knox 2.2.0
Know Tizen 2.2.0
SE for Tizen 1.0.0
TIMA 3.0.0
Pixel Phone on Android 8.1.0
Snapdragon S8 on nougat with a similar problem. My notifications will disable themselves and the switch to turn them back on will be grayed out and unselectable. Only way to get them to work again is by rebooting the watch and the phone, but it will only work for a few hours until it's broken again.
I have a similar problem with my Oneplus 3.
Evertyhing worked fine until I updated my phone to OxygenOS 5.0.3 Android 8.0.0. Since then the Gear S3 doesn't receive any notification. The only one are phone calls.
The settings for notifications are on (in the Gear App and OS settings unchanged). Resetting the watch didn't change anything. Round about 2 times a day the gear looses the bluetooth connection for ~30 seconds which is new as well.
Resetting the phone is no option.
Any ideas or new information about this problem?

I reinstalled the Gear app, repaired and resetted the watch which didn't change anything.
Though I forget about the Samsung Accessory Service app. After reinstalling this, rebooting the phone and repairing the watch the notifitications are working again.
In the matter of connection loss I can't tell not yet.

I know this is an old thread, but I stopped getting notifications on my Oneplus 7 Pro - Android 10. I had to turn off battery optimization for the three Samsung apps - Galaxy Wear, Gear Plug in and Samsung Accessory Service. I now have notifications back.
So it seems that the Here wego maps/navigation app is not available for the s3 if you aren't using a Samsung phone. (I happen to use an LG v20)
Has anyone found a way to side load the app? Or what is the best alternative maps application for the s3?
Ok I found a way around the issue for anyone watching this thread... It's a little crazy and not for everyone.... I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy S7 as a work phone... I connected my S3 to that phone, where it installed HERE by default.... I then backed up the watch to my samsung account and then reconnected the watch to my LG V20 and restored the backup which included HERE.... Boom.... Problem solved
That's strange.. I got my S3 R-760 back in October 2017 from the UK. Immediately paired to a Sony Z5 and has been like that ever since, even after the ROM updates. One of the first things I did was to install HERE. Can't remember how exactly but it wans't a hassle so I assume straight from the watch or the store. I guess it has been removed after I installed it. Using it now as a standalone, no connection to the phone is required, just direct connection to the internet via wifi or hotspot. Of course I do not have the convenience of using it through the phone which could make it easier to search etc, but it is good enough.
Nice workaround you found, but for those that do not have the option of a Samsung phone, this thread could help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/wego-t3724511/page3
Hmm - I downloaded from Google onto my OnePlus 5T, installed on watch from Gear store and that was it.
