Gear S2 connection issue

Hey today I started testing Samsung Gear S2 but I cannot pair it with Vernee Thor. Everything is OK but at the end of the process watch can't pair with my device. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, i had a problem with connecting my Gear S2 to Samsung S6. I have my S6 rooted and i have Kingroot. Kingroot is blocking Auto Start of Gear Manager, Gear Plugin and Samsung Acessory Service. I cancel the block and now it works perfectly

Bluetooth reconnecting problem

Hello everyone,
I have a Gear S3 Frontier bluetooth only model, and I noticed that if go outside the bluetooth range (10-15m from the phone) after I come back within the bluetooth range, the watch doesn't reconnect automatically, and I must reconnect it manually from the Gear Manager app.
My phone is a Samsung S6 edge+, and until now I had a Garmin Vivoactive which didn't had this problem.
I found in the Gear S forum a similar problem, and one proposed solution was to unpair it and pair it again.
I tried that and it worked, the watch reconnected automatically 2-3 times, but after 30min-1 hour the problem appeared again.
Does anyone else has this problem ?
Thanks

I did yesterday, all I had to to was turn on airplane mode then turn it back off, reconnected in seconds.

I also had this problem. Since I switched off WLAN, Bluetooth reconnects automatically.

Try this

I had this problem and it was driving me nuts but did a hard reset of my watch and now everything is working ok.
It looks though I had something else competing with my watch and by unpairing the watch, doing a reset and then resetting up my watch, cleared whatever was causing the issue.

I have nearly the same problem with watchmaker App.
When the Bluetooth connection is disconnected because out of range and the BT is reconnected again, the watchmaker has problems to sync with gears s3.
No data like phone battery, etc .. . Also sending watchfaces over BT is not working anymore.
But with other apps (Samsung Gear App), BT is always working great.
To solve the problem, I have to switch off BT on the smartphone and enable again.
After that the sync between watchmaker and Gears S3 is working well again until reconnect.
I have informed the watchmaker developer, but until now, I have gotten no feedback.
Android 6.0.1
Watchmaker App: 4.8.2

Thats a very old version of WatchMaker.

How to connect the Gear S3 with Bragi The Headphones

Does anyone know how to connect the Gear S3 with Bragi The Headphones?
BT-headset pairing from the Gear S3 doesn't recognize the Bragi headphone.

I'm having the same problem. Not recognised by the S3 Frontier.

This worked for me.
aving the same problem over here. Yet I believe I just found a solution. Have a look if it's working for you as well:
1 Make the Bluetooth connection with your Gear S 3 and your phone
2 Go to the Gear App - Settings
3 Scroll down to 2nd last item: Info Gear
there you select the 4th item (unknown sources. This is my translation. If this is not the correct name, it should be the 3rd starting from the bottom, just above your Samsung account)
4 Activate and accept on the pop-up message
5 Make the connection between your Gear S3 and your BT headset

Still can't connect with my gear s3 and bragi headphone
I did the same steps but still can't connect,is it had any other method to make it connected?
Thanks

Bump
I have the same problem with "The headphone", except for a gear sport instead of gear S3. Still no solutions?

so..... no one succeeds? :/

Hello there,
I have the Same problem like you others here..
I tried to connect my bragi headphone to my Samsung gear sport and also tried to connect it to my Samsung gear fit 2 smartband but both won't find the headphone in pairing mode..
Guess it's a problem with bragi Bluetooth protocol and Samsungs tizen os..?
I submitted a service request to bragi via their website and also sent a message to them via the Facebook page.. Maybe I'll get an answer from them.. Guess all we can do is mail both Samsung and bragi about the issue and wait and hope for a solution..

I havn't found a solution. I ended up returning my watch, as i didn't want to buy a new bluetooth headset. I bought an old and cheap LG g watch (first gen android wear) and flashed it with android wear 2.0. With this smartwatch I am able to connect my bragi earbuds with no issues, but I have to use google play music to sync offline content to the watch. Works great!

I solved.
I managed to solve the connection problem with gear sport.
1 dissociate from the smartphone.
2 hold dash right until you hear "disconnected audio"
3 hold down dash again until warning "dash are visible again"
4 start coupling from the gear s3

Does GPS not work while connected to Bluetooth?

So I have the Gear S3 Frontier LTE and noticed tonight while walking that the GPS can only find a fix when the watch isn't connected to my phone via Bluetooth.
Is this the correct behavior? If not, how do I fix it?

I had the same problem, Gear S3 F paired with Huawei P10 lite... when I connected to phone GPS didnt work... BUT only with Android Oreo 8.0! If I installed other ROM, Nougat 7.x or 8.1 it worked perfect! With other phones with Oreo 8.0 or without pairing too... I dont understand, why... I gave Gear 3 times to service but they didnt find any problem (they tried it without phone I think....)

I have the same problem with Huawei p20 pro. Tried disabling all battery saving options for Samsung apps but no go. No GPS when connected on Bluetooth, making this "smart watch" just a watch and a step tracker.

After updating the Gear S Plugin to 2.2.03.19010761 and Galaxy Wearable t0 2.2.21.18080361, GPS works properly again.

Gear Sport

Just brought a gear sport watch and I'm trying to get it connected to my pixel. The samsung gear app says it is not compatible with my phone. Am I out of luck?
I just manually installed the apk and now it's working. Thanks for looking.
