I'm not sure, could be a software bug of some sort.. You'll just have to wait and see if an update fixes it. Or your Bravia may be too old to connect to such a new phone, who knows..

I was playing with this yesterday on my Samsung Smart TV. If I selected screen mirroring on the TV nothing would happen. The s7 showed that I was connected to the TV and on the TV I could select media in source options to look at pics and home video. I found that with smart view app on s7 when I selected a movie to watch it automatically was displayed on the TV. Haven't tried mirroring games yet or just the home screen but that might need a different app than smart view. Hope this helps a bit

same thing happens to me. screen mirroring used to work. but i cant remember if it was before rooting or after. can it be the problem? still stock rom though

i think that it is a bug

i solved it. since i got my first android phone s2 and then s3 i experienced the same problem because i always rooted my phones. i also rooted my 27 and lost the screen mirroring and other features. then today i flashed the stock original firmware and everything is normal now. this bug, losing screen mirroring feature after rooting, is a big time problem that nobody can solve. if you need help you can check out this link as i did. you have to unroot it if you want to use those feature.

There is another way to solve this issue with Root:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0JqRf6sygM
(dont be irritated by the error message in this video ... it is working withe the "Failed to enable smart view. Error occured." message)
I tested it an a rooted 930F with custom recovery (didn't affect this but just wanted to mention) and the "Failed to enable smart view. Error occured." message . You can make smart view working again by adding the following line to the build.prop file:
Code:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable
After adding this quick connect and smart view (basicly the same) are working like charm.
I hope I could help other people with this solution ... despite this thread is a little old.

Thanks a million! It worked like a charm
(Using Samsung Galaxy S6 edge - SM-G925F with stock rooted firmware)

This technology is a joke. It has so many bugs. Samsung is falling apart. Their latest phones and televisions are overpriced garbage. Although, it's difficult to find a tech-company that isn't full of **** these days. What happened, Samsung?? Why doesn't any of your stuff work anymore? Bait & switch?
---------- Post added at 12:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------
Why does smart view only seem to work sporadically at best? I've got a brand new Samsung 8 series TV and a brand new Samsung S7. I can't say I'd recommend either device. Both were overpriced. Neither does what they said they'd do. Samsung doesn't seem to care. No help available.

I didn't root my S7 but I can't mirror the screen, just happen just one day and didn't work any more. Any idea? I have the rom stock from britain version with Android 7.0

Thanks for this fixing...
What about TV to Phone issue?
Is there anybody tried?

I know this is a few months old but make sure you reboot after editing the build.prop file. Did it yesterday and it worked fine.

Hi,
I'm bumping this old thread again as I haven't found a definite answer. I still have my S7 SM-G930F on stock MM/TW because I refuse to lose smartview functionality which works perfectly with my Samsung UN55H6350 on WiDi, (no Wifi needed). From what I have researched, Nougat update broke Smartview. Because It's reportedly never functioned the same since then, I have the below questions:
Does Smartview WiDi work on stock rooted MM/TW? WiDi functionality is essential to me. I stream phone content to my TV without WiFi most of the time. This is a deal breaker for me.
Does Smartview WiDi work on stock rooted Nougat/TW?
Are there any MM or Nougat Custom Roms where Smartview works over WiDi?
Thanks for reading, LMK if anything is unclear.

No notifications

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.

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.

How is the update process designed with Huawei Watch 2 (BT)?

Back a couple of hours, I had a chat and a call with the support Huawei stuff. Among other things about the update process of the Huawei Watch 2 (BT).
What the support staff told me, that there is no way to manually update (trigger an update by the enduser). "The system" of Huawei decides, when a serial number will get the updates. And it can take up to 8 weeks, until all "the system" has enrolled all the updates to the watch. When the watch will be factory resetted, all this will happen again.
In all my experience as a software developer, architect and as a normal enduser, this "process" was completely unknown by me. I would tend to say, that it is the worst user experience ever.
Today, I got the update to Wear OS 1.7 (from 1.6). As of supports statement, there are several updates in the line until Wear OS 2.0.
My question relates to this: What are your experiences (from recent buyers)? How long does it took for you to finally get a working watch?
PS: "working watch"... I also report an issue, that the Bluetooth internet tethering does not work as the watch did not define this scope in the Bluetooth handshake. From the phones view, the watch just cannot do tethering at all. Support staff told me, that is be fixed with Wear OS 2.0. So I will nearly have useless watch for up to 8 weeks until I get the 2.0 update. Yay I am not a couch potato, I do perform activities outside my WiFi network

I didnt quite get what your actual question is but as far as i know if you want internet connection and your watch is bt variant you can either connect through wifi or your phone's internet through bluetooth
And i geuss thats the case with every other smartwatch and OSs

Same issue here
Just got my watch this morning and it's stuck at wear os 1.7. When I search for updates on the watch it tells me there's no updates.
I've also updated all apps in the play store
Could anyone else shed light on this or is it just a matter of time?
Thanks in advance

How long did it took for you until you watch was usable (the 2.0 update)?
Outside WiFi zone, I cannot use my watch because I have to stick with 1.7 for as long as Huawei's system won't give me the update. So no internet over Bluetooth until I finally get the 2.0 update.

I have connection with bluetooth.

You have a Bluetooth internet connection or just a Bluetooth connection?
For example, if you explicitly turn off you watches WiFi, will Google Maps or Google Music (streaming, not downloaded files) work?
What is you Wear OS version?

Now i undrestand your issue.
I will give u a clear answer here
Huawei watch 2 hasnt recieved the wear os 2.0 update yet, and its 1.7 right now
Also from the day one i got this watch (one year ago which was many updates ago) this watch had no problem connecting to internet through bluetooth (as i mentioned in my first post here)
You just need to connect the watch to your phone and then turn on you phone's data connection which then the watch will use it and u will have internet connection (google maps/play store/ system update etc)
And also if u turn on vpn on your phone it will be also effected on the watch.

No we dont, there is another topic regarding this matter titled "Wear os update"

So it seems to me that the Huawei Support ist knowingly lying to potential buyers.
The told me that the 2.0 update was already released and 2.1 is in planning (as announced by Google). And that there are several updates between 1.7 and 2.0 that my watch will pick up (become pushed) within the next 8 weeks.
What I see from your responses is that there were no updates in the past after 1.7..
And Huawei's update server decides, when to roll out (pushes) updates to the watch. Manual searches for updates will always be "already on newest release" because Huawei's update server don't work that way. At least this is what the support told me.
So to sum up... It seems that particular my watch have a Bluetooth issue since it does not announce tethering capabilities with the handshake. That is why, I cannot use my watch. Support stated, that this issue is known and already fixed with 2.0..
I get really angry with Huawei's support. You guys have pointed out so many points, that the support didn't told the truth. I had 3 contacts with different support staff. So this is not the accident of one individual.

Yeah it's sad.
I was hoping wear os was going to be a different story than android and updates would be pretty consistent across watches.
I am now considering going back to my gear s3 frontier tyzen watch until such a time as Google decides to release a watch (if they ever do).
Say what you want from apple but at least they're consistent (I know they only have to cater for their devices) and watch os looks damn good and seems like the better watch experience you can have atm.

i agree, the updates for the watch are like they are for their phones, - non-existent - as usual they make good hardware but it's backed up by poor support and updates from them.
I just wish Google would hurry and release a smartwatch so can swap over.

Hello everyone
So yesterday i pick a used s7 Tmobile G930T . I checked every single thing and it was working perfect.
When i bought it was running 7.0 nougat stock firmware july 2017 never been rooted before knox 0x0.
But after i went back home i connected to wifi and started tKing OTA updates around 9 updates . Now i am on latest RJ1 OREO 8.0 OCTOBER 2018 security patch.
Now after taking all updates i downloaded all my apps from playstore and then my BOTTOM MICROPHONE STOPPED WORKING. Nobody can hear me while making calls or whatsapp calls voice or even voice recorder cannot hear after recording.
I have no clue how this happen and sadly i cant return this phone.
I didn't drop the phone or anything it just happened after updates.
I tried factore reset/wipe cache but nothing changed.
But when i start video recording from camera i can hear voice so the microphone on top is working fine.
I even tried to downgrade to nougat but got binary error so i guess i am stuck at Oreo.
Any suggestions please how to fix
What issue this could be software or hardware fail ?

Solved
I just got replacement with onother s7 and everything is fine now.

Does Samsung Spying on users?

i know the title looks pretty weird but i was on Android Nougat Until yesterday
i flashed the latest official firmware for my J7 2016 (J710F) which is based on Oreo 8.1
the funny thing is since i flashed the rom the WIFI never take a break its like keep connecting to something
can anyone confirm that?>
i didn't attach any screen shots because i think it doesn't worth it.
by the way this is the first time i encounter something like this in phones
is there anyway to prevent it?or at least to monitor the wifi traffic so i can block it with hosts file or something i didn't root yet but i found working method
