No connection with Gear S2 and Note Edge

Unfortunately i don't get any connection with my Gear S2 and my Note edge. I have the Gear Manager from the Samsung App Store and Android 5.0.1 (no root)..
Maybe some of you have the same problem and a solution.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english...

Go to http://apps.samsung.com/Gear and click Samsung device. I think the Gear S2 has a newer Gear manager which is not on Samsungs app store. It should be on Google Play store.

Thank you for your replay. The App in the Play Store is only for non Samsung phones. I can not install this Version on my Note Edge.
The other Version is the same like the App in the Samsung App Store.

I'm having a similar issue on my SM-N9200. No matter what I try when attempting to connect the S2 with gear manager nothing works. From everything I can tell I have the latest version and there are no updates available in the Samsung store, or software updates. Very frustrating.

Okay, and im assuming you have tried to factory reset the Gear S2 and toggle the Bluetooth on and off on your phone? When the gear manager app scans for devices, does your watch show up as discovered? Or does it not show up at all. Can you search for the watch by going to the Bluetooth utility on your watch? I guess the last step would be to contact Samsung support on this issue. It seems like there have been a lot of known bugs since the release of the watch.

I already speak with the samsung support. BUt they know now soluton. The will check my problem and maybe they will fix the bug.
When i scan with bluetooth directly i can find the watch but the gear manager will not find the watch. i also make a factory reset after i check if the watch works with an old LG G2, it does, but not with the note edge.

Yes I try it a lot. Also with older versions of the gear manager. But nothing works.

Thats really weird. Im wondering if the watch is defective? Can you swap it for a new one?

No, I think the watch is okay because the watch works with the lg g2 and the gear manager for non samsung devices but not with the note edge and the gear manager for galaxy devices.
I think it is a software problem from the gear manager.

Oh yeah, if you can connect with another device then it has to be software.

What Android version and gear manager version do you have?

An update to Gear Manager has been released and the Note Edge can now connect to the Gear S2

And the Play Store update to the Gear app from yesterday has borked my BT connection on my Nexus 5 that I also upgraded to Marshmallow. S2 will no longer connect to Nexus 5.

I can't seem to get my S2 to connect to my LG G3 running 5.1.1 BLisspop.
I think I might just have to return this.
schitt.

Connection to Note 3
I can confirm this does not work on my Note 3 unless I'm running a Touchwiz rom. I had (and loved) the AICP rom and none of these files will help it connect. I get the standard "modified software" message. When I installed the stock rom w/tweaks, it connects fine.
So I couldn't use the "Samsung phone" version of Gear manager because while it's a Samsung phone, it wasn't running Samsung software. But I couldn't use the "Non-Samsung phone" version because it still sees it as a Samsung phone and I get the "incompatible with this device" message.
I have to decide between the AICP rom and my old Gear Live or the touchwiz garbage (w/Nova launcher to hide it) and the Gear S2..

same problem here
Hi Guys,
I have same problem. I got Gear S2 Classic from Korea and it won't connect to my S6 Edge. I downloaded to latest gear manager app version 2.2.15092142 . but it still won't connect and give message "check if your phone is compatible and if the gear manager app needs to be updated, then try again" I have factory reset both the phone and the gear but still same issue.
anyone got a solution?
Thanks

Gear Navigator Companion

There is a paid app by Mobiteka called Gear Navigator Companion on the Gear S2 app store. The app needs a free app by the same name to be installed on your phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiteka.navigator&hl=en
The app supposedly uses the Google Maps api to offer navigation and street view on your Gear S2. I installed the free Android app on my Galaxy Note 5 and purchased the app for the Gear S2. However the app always fails to get installed on the watch with the message "Unable to continue without your Gear connected. Connect your mobile device to your Gear and try again". This happens despite the fact that my Gear S2 is very much connected to my phone and is receiving notifications just fine.
I have left a negative review on the Gear app store and will update this post if and when the problem gets fixed.
Update (on 01 December 2015)
The developer contact me within 10 hours of my review and offered some helpful suggestions on how to get the app working. To be on the safe side, I conducted a factory reset of my Gear S2 and repaired the watch with my phone and the app managed to get installed on the first try. It works well with the companion app on the phone and I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. I have modified my review to give it 4 stars.

Happend to me plenty of times when installing an app on the watch. Sometimes a reboot helped and sometimes a soft reset. Not the fault of the app developer... If you must, blame Samsung

What phone are you using? As already mentioned all over this place, you won't see any fee-based apps with a non samsung phone... and no, there isn't a feasable way around this by now.

That's the problem. I'm using an LG V10. Wonderful phone and works well with watch. But I guess there are compromises. No way to sideload at this point??

Nope. You can try using sdb over wifi... (http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000251&pi=1&ps=10&pb=Y&ct=CT030000&sc=) , but you would still need the app...

I have the same problem. Rebooting Gear S2 and Samsung Galaxy 5 doesn't help. The phone tells me the it is connected with Gear. The apps would not install...

I have exactly the same problem, very disappointing. Only received the watch for Christmas and straightaway I hit a problem.

I'm sorry to of your problems, I too received mine for christmas this morning. Have root s5 and connect right away and updated not a single problem so far.( Other not enough apps for my likeing )
Going to ask the obvious, have you tried reseting the watch ?

Hi all,
Mine was just the same issue, after reading a bit you should reset the watch after updating and the phone too. But disconnect and erase the connection phone <-> watch too. After new pairing all was ok.

Can you explain steps required? I have same issue after gear manager update. I would like not to hard reset my phone. I'm on non-rooted Note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1. It used to work excellent until last update.

I did back track latest apps installs and updates on my phone and I wonder if Gear Manager is main source of the problem.
Night before I discovered that gear manager stopped working correctly, I did mandatory update for few of Oculus apps for my Gear VR.
My question is: do people with Gear Manager problem have any Oculus apps installed on their phones?

Samsung gear s3 frontier and xiaomi Mi5

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.

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?

Changing Region on Samsung Gear Sport R600 to make Samsung Pay work

So I purchased a Samsung Gear Sport from New Zealand and brought over to Australia. Samsung Pay was not pre installed or was available on the watch because New Zealand does not have Samsung Pay yet. The Galaxy Apps Store was different as it was referencing the New Zealand Store. I know this post will be helpful to those purchasing Gear Sport on Kogan or internationally as it is cost effective. Here a are some simple instructions by someone that is not a developer to help you change your region without affecting the firmware of the watch.
This is crazy simple and I would like to thank @adfree for all the help provided in another post.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...mware-odin-repair-study-t3688495?goto=newpost
I have decided to make a new post which is simple and targets users who have purchased a watch away from their home country.
Download SDBstarterKidv1 from the following link please:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74585286&postcount=330
Pre Requisites:
Gear: Debugging Mode ON, Bluetooth OFF, Wifi IP address
PC: SDB 2.2.60 Installed
To find the IP address on Gear Sport: Settings > Connections > Wifi > Wifi Networks > [your network] > Scroll down to IP address
From SDBstarterKidv1 double click on 'install.bat'
From the subfolder data\tools double click on 'sdb.exe'
After noting IP address of the Gear Sport, Launch ‘Ansicon.exe’ from sdb_2.2.60_windows-64\data\tools
Type: sdb connect [IP of Gear Sport]
Look at Gear Sport, it will prompt you to accept a message
If you try the sdb connect [IP address] again, it will say "already connected". This is a good sign. Proceed.
Type: sdb shell and Enter
Copy Paste: launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration and Enter
Look at Gear Sport and select region you would like. Watch will Reset and launch as new.
If you can not pair with your phone, remember to unpair your previous Gear Sport from Bluetooth Menu.
Once Gear Sport is launched to home watch face, shut down Gear Sport and switch on again for Samsung Pay to appear. Wait for notification for Samsung Pay on Gear Sport (may take a minute).
Again, huge thanks to this website and @adfree
Cheers

Is gear s3 OK?

Thank you for the easy solution!
Just to confirm this workaround still works perfectly after an upgrade to 3.0.0.2. I was able to change from an UAE sourced gear sport to BTU (UK).
When the watch resets and sets up Samsung Pay may not appear immediately and the app was not installed on my watch (it also says no payment app installed under NFC). Don't panic!
You just have to wait a while (in my case 30 minutes) before the gear app on my phone picked up Samsung pay and when I clicked it it pushed the watch app installation . From there on, everything worked fine.

I tried this procedure and it worked nicely, except i am in the US and do not see US csc codes on the watch. Is it possible to choose USA csc on the Gear Sport?

USA is XAR
Best Regards

Wow, that was a fast CSC changing! Maaaanyy thanks for the info! Worked perfectly!

Out of curiosity does this invalidate warranty?

Will this work to. Change from china to Nz region? Decidong wether to Grab one of. These ?

Can i do this with ss s7edge?

Copy Paste: launch_app csc-manager.csc-pre-configuration and Enter
I followed the steps, the connection between pc and gear sport is successful, however, i fail to launch the app csc with the given command above, it appeared as not a regonisied file or cmd. Anyone can help?

Amazing how easy that was. Works with my Scotiabank Visa. Can't add my Scotiabank Debit though.
