What's new and will the firmware R732XXU2CPC5 support the iPhone?
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/31/samsung-gear-s2-gets-another-software-update/
Brings the same features as R732XXU2CPB7, and I've just tested, it does NOT support the iPhone.
Anyway to download the firmware for wireless odin? I can't update through gear manager since downgrading to use with an iPhone? I got a s7 edge just for this and I'm stuck on "your Gear has been modified and cannot be updated". Thanks
I have not seen the first one. My Gear S2 sport is on R720XXU2BPA4

I have yet to see CPB7 let alone CPC5. My Gear S2 Classic is still on BPA4 as well. Has anyone in the US seen either update yet?

Updated 2 days ago in central Europe, battery looks for me much much better - after approx. 50 hours still about 50%, with previous firmware same conditions on 10% . IPhone connectivity not tested - i have no one.
Im confused. I have the tmobile version of gear s2 which i think is lte. What is the latest support firmware version? I have AOL3 version currently.
Thx

Updated to CPC5 here in Canada (west coast) on 11 Apr 16. New auto brightness and airplane mode. Maybe more. Will test as time permits.
Received CPC5 update on Gear S2 Classic (wifi) today in Virginia/USA.
I initiated the update manually, so don't know when it actually became available....
Does anyone have the ODIN Flashable Package for this R732XXU2CPC5 Update ?
Got the R732XXU2CPC5 around 2:00 am today by manually checking for update. I'm in Northern VA
I got mine last night by manually updating. I'm in Georgia.
I installed Samsung gear app on iphone and it says NO GEAR DEVICES. App says to update gear software. My version software on samsung gear s2 is: R720XXU2BOKK. Version: KNOX. I will try to update it with a samsung mobile and then I will come back to the iphone and try it.
Just to give more information, my girfriend has a Samsung gear s2 too and she has version software: R720XXU2AOJ3. Version: KNOXX. She is able to pair the iphone with her samsung gear s2 without the application, just as a bluetooth device. I was able to do it as well but I made a big mistake of pairing it with a samsung mobile and I updated the software of the samsung gear s2, then came back to my iphone and the Iphone didn't find samsung gear S2.
Still doesn't fix the "always on isn't always on" problem. (When you enable display always on, it goes completely blank after a while and needs a button press to get back).
Wow, the auto brighness is effing stupid.
Before, I had always on screen and outside, I could tolerate brightness of 3, and could see al lof my watch faces and notifications.
Now the damn thing is always at its highest and blows through 80% in less than 12 hours.
ANd I dont even check it as often anymore.
Just give me a damn off button for auto brightness, god.

I had this problem, too.
Did you set the Gear S2 already back to factory settings? Afterwards my iPhone found the Gear and started working with the app.

Yes sir! I've done it and now it's working! Thank you !
Having tried manual updates many times it (SM-R732) finally updated automatically today. I don't notice much difference on the auto-brightness, maybe because I have the brightness set pretty low (3)? Still good to have the addition of Flight Mode.
I have ordered a Gear S2 Classic and will get it in a few days. I know I can pair the watch to a non-Samsung phone. I have an HTC One M8. However, is it possible to access the Galaxy store to purchase new faces from a non-Samsung store? Any workaround?
Thanks!
I have a Huawei phone and use the relevant store (from the Gear Manager) without any issue. There may not be any issue for you at all.

Thanks! I understand that I can get free faces on the store, but can you get paid ones? Thanks.
I've done it on my M8 and my HTC 10, so yes.

Thanks for the replies! I received my Gear S2 Classic yesterday and was able to buy a paid watch face, so yes it worked. I had read on several places that only free faces and apps could be downloaded from the Galaxy store but, thankfully, this is not true anymore.
I found that the Samsung Gear Manager app does not always connect properly to the store and I had to reboot my M8 a couple of times but otherwise it does work.
Thanks again to GodzillaMonster and Gamesoul Master for their replies!

I had a rooted oneplus 3T and could not install the gear apps from the playstore. I wont be able to tell you if you can get the apps from playstore if you are un-rooted because i have never tried it.
I did managed to get the gear apps from this thread by xda member j to the 4n

Mine is not rooted and by looking at google play i can download every app samsung has to offer regarding smartwatches
So in that case it'll work?
I would prefer you get the confirmation that it works form someone who is actually using the gear S3 with unrooted oneplus 3T
I had both device by 3 months: Samsung gear s3 classic (not lte) work perfectly with oneplus 3t (not rooted with original factory rom oxygen os by oneplus)
All feature of gear s3 work perfect with no workaround, I follow the istruction on display
I'm wondering if anybody else is having issues pairing a Google Pixel 2 XL with a Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro? I have a Samsung S8+ and a Google Pixel 2 XL (work) phone that I bounce back and forth using as my daily phone. I recently signed up and are using Android P on my Pixel 2 XL. When I upgraded to Android P, the Samsung Gear app worked just fine and the Gear Fit 2 Pro worked fine too. Then, I went over to the S8+ for a few weeks (unpaired the watch from the Pixel 2 XL and paired it with the S8+). Now, when I try to go back to the Pixel 2 XL and pair the watch with the Samsung Gear app, it force closes just when the "pairing process" is taking place. It will show the 6 digit pairing number and when I hit "OK", it force closes.
Anybody else having issues with this.....or is it just me? I figured Samsung just hasn't updated their Gear app for Android P just yet?
I've been trying to pair my Gear Fit 2 since the second Android P beta. Samsung said that they won't release any support until the OS is final.
Thanks! Yes, I had to opt out of the Android P program and go back to Oreo to get my Pixel 2 XL to work again with my Gear Fit 2 Pro.
Guess I"ll just wait for the final version of Android P to come out...with Samsung's Gear app update....before upgrading to Android P again!
Ugh...thanks Samsung!
Hello,
Unfortunately I am also experiencing the same issue with my Samsung Gear Fit 2.
I have a Google pixel 2 and also on the Android P beta program. Ever since the launch of the beta 5 I have experienced this issue. Before the beta 5 update, I had no hiccupps whatsoever with my fit 2 on Beta 3 and 4.
Since discovering the issue, I've been able sync my watch with the Gear app successfully on an LG V20 and the latest Nougat version.
I have tried several workarounds that have been successful for the same issue when other Android versions launched. However I have had no success with any previous work around as of thus far.
I also forgot to mention that I factory reset my Google pixel 2 AFTER the beta 5 update. Could that be the problem completely as the app works fine with Android P before the reset?
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.
I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly
