I work in a cell phone store. We have a gear watch by samsung with a green security thing.
Gear is discontinued and that demo is not on display. I was wondering if there is a way to use it as a normal gear. It has a preset screen that it shows that's it.

Well: if you are working in a cell phone store, then maybe your supervisor and/or Samsung will know; don't you think?
This is the Gear 2 section. You'll probably get better answers in the original Gear section where they have root and custom ROMs that will probably fix your situation. Maybe just a wipe and reinstall of the stock ROM is all you need.

Put it into download mode and flash the Galaxy Gear firmware to it using oden
I recently bought a Samsung Gear S2 classic.
It connects to iPhone via bluetooth without any app, so here is my experience:
- Notifications work, (the ones from the notification center), however you cannot act on them, it is just a notification viewer. You can read the message that comes or e-mail or FB message, however you cannot answer them.
- No access to any other apps/watch faces beside the stock ones that are on the watch already
- Wifi network connection is limited to open networks only :/ (secured networks are not visible, why?) however range of the wifi signal sensitivity is awesome (I pick up a printer Wifi signal of my neighbour 3 floors up)
- Battery : At 8h I still have 50% (moderate use, loads of notifications, Wifi off, HR sensor frequent, Brightness 8, Ambient on)
- World clock is totally off, I mean the times are not right. I don't know why.
I read rumours that iOS appstore will get a Gear app by the end of this year, so support is on the way
I am an Apple fan (iphone, ipad, imac, macbook and so on) and I have to say... Gear S2 is going to rock the smartwatch boat a looooot!
The quality you get for the money is just amazing.
Greetings from Belgium!
Hi I have an iphone, and the gear s2 3g pairs to it, but I don't see any notifications coming through (not sure how that would work, because I haven't selected which notifications I would want to send to the watch the way i do on my android phone (Note 4)). Are there any settings you had to change to enable this functionality?
Thank you!
Notifications that are in the notification center are working and they get through to the watch.
There is no app yet, I just connected it via bluetooth.
After reset, the secured WiFi networks are discoverable (some of them at least).
Overall, after 1 day of usage, I got 15h of battery. Now I am testing the battery with no HR sensor and Brightness 5.
I will post results soon!
I have a samsung phone that my gear s2 is connected to. I also have an iPhone for work. Do you think I could connect both phones at the same time? Lol.... I just got the watch and it is charging, so I can't try it.

I'm affraid that isn't possible, since gear s2 only connected to ios when they do a reset (never pair and update with galaxy appmanager on android).
What about the gear app manager for iOS ? Still working on it?

I think gear app manager still on progress, rumours say that will be available on early 2016, can't wait this to happen LoL.
Yes, They are still working on the app. Hopefully it will get out soon.
The latest firmware update renders gear s2 unusable with iPhones.
After the update the gear s2 is not visible in the bluetooth devices on the iPhone ;|

Woow...realy?
Thats a good info for me, i just considering to update my firmware, because i'm experiencing always on mode is not always on, sometimes its totally turn off the display, i think that's because the firmware, but then i do a research on this forum, thats a common problem
Just unpacked my amazon-delivered gear s2.
As an iphone 6 owner I'm very happy that it does communicate with the phone,though indeed only readable notifications.
Hope the app arrives soon.
Dont update your Gear S2 yet
Please don't update the firmware yet.
So i have both android and iphone. I was trying to get the android experience with gear s2, i tried to update the latest firmware.
After that, i switch back to my iphone which i prefer to use. The result is i can't detect the gear S2 on my bluetooth.
So... Don't try to update the firmware yet. It really sad :crying:
@hns_hnz: could you share more information?
what is exactly Gear S2 model? Model of your Iphone?
thanks

which Iphone do you use? and exactly your gear s2 version also. I'm update in gear s2 R730 is normal.
I can confirm this, as soon as I paired it with my android device, the S2 is unusable with Iphone...well after I used Gear Manager to update it.
Firmware update is fine, you just have to not activate it through the Manager on an Android device otherwise it's gone.

Yuo i think, it's because the gear s2 is paired with android devices, if you want to connect to your iphone again, you have to do a reset factory from gear s2, is that correct?

I'm afraid not. I bought the watch yesterday and was not warned that iphone users cannot update the software yet. I did a factory reset but my iphone 6 still couldn't detect the watch as it could before the update. ):

I have the same problem. I am using Iphone 6. I used the gear manager on my other phone (android) to update the gear s2 to the newest software version R732XXUU2BOKK. Hope this is helpful.

Factory reset doesn't do anything unfortunately. So mke sure u do not connect the watch using Samsung Manager on any android phone.
Using the watch to update firmware seems to be fine (using the built in wifi).

I see, so the key is, do not upgrade firmware via android gear manager apps, or you'll never get paired to the iphone anymore
But i'm doing the upgrade OTA via the device itself, and there's no update available..it says my device already have the newest firmware version, or maybe samsung OTA update has some kind of country limitation? since I'm in Indonesia?
Hi everybody and happy new year !
Any news about the iphone version of gear manager ? ...

Is there any way to get access to Samsung pay on European S3 / S3 frontier, too?
We don't get the LTE version here.. sadly.
Please help!
I have Gear S3 Frontier & S7 Edge. My S3 is working great with exception of Samsung Pay. Actually, I don't even know where it is because it does not show up either on my S3 or Samsung Gear App. I tried many times opening the Gear App and select tab Settings and where Samsung Pay should be there is only the S Health tab and Samsung Galaxy App tab. Please help i have updated both softwares and even tried uninstalling and installing to negative results.

Yes, you can use the wall charger that comes with the S7E. I even use it for headphones & other electronics and is ok. The fast charging function will work only with the devices that have this function. In rest, the charger will be a normal (very good) charger.
What about hangout and whatsapp?
Hi, I couldn't find anywhere such an info. This could be a potential reason for me not to buy this watch.
Is it possibile to directly start an hangout chat or a whatsapp chat directly from the watch? I mean can I only answer to a recieved hangout or whatsapp message I guess, but can I even send a new message directly from the watch?
I own a Huawei Watch and, at least for Google hangout, I can start a new chat directly from the smartwatch.
Thanks in advance, this is really important for me.
Where can I download these watch faces? I cannot find them in the store.
Thanks for sharing.

Is there any sign of being able to assign any custom tone / mp3 / other for txt notification at all yet?
I have an S3 and have been waiting for this app to get an update so I can use facer. I had previously received an error that the ph1 isn't compatible, but this morning I tried again and it works! I've been very impressed with how fast apps have been getting updates to work with this phone.
So for anyone using an S2 or S3 or just want the app, it now seems to be working.
Screenshot of current version. Forgot to attach it and couldn't figure out how to edit original on my phone.

I run it through the Samsung gear app. It use to say incompatible but now works fine. It's not in my app drawer, however, and samsung pay doesn't work yet on the ph1 to my knowledge yet.
Samsung health and SMS reply from watch work alright?
It is working also with the gear fit 2
Gear s3 notifications and Samsung pay were broken with essential with latest update. Had to sideload a couple gear apps to my phone, but everything works now! More discussion and links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/help/gear-s3-compatibility-t3699012

How are you using samsung pay? With the essential or directly with the s3?

Directly with the S3. You need special radios for it to work without nfc that the essential doesn't have.
Thinking of getting a gear s2 with a speaker in it. Can you confirm messages/calls work with the Bluetooth connection?
Anyone using Samsung Gear Circle bt headphones with this phone? Level U work fine (notification, music off when closed, etc. Gear circle does none of this
Looks like it's not in the news yet, so here we go.
Got an update this morning: tizen 4.0.0.2 has arrived! Software version R760XXU2DSA1! :victory:
File size approx 300Mb
Pretty stoked to see Samsung taking care of more/less dated watch. Probably last update before new Galaxy sport rolls out.
Thoughts, ideas, etc..?
@adfree, it happened!
Nice, saw this on SamMobile. Does anyone know how to force the update? I have the S3 Frontier on Verizon.
They started to roll the update out a few hours ago.. give it a few days, I'm sure you'll get it.
Just got it on my S3 Classic R770XXU2DSA1 , 301 Mb

It probably doesn't help you since I have the s3 frontier but I hit the 3 dot menu on the side, then I hit the phone looking icon that says music player. That brings up where you can select the source app

Thanks for your answer. Just minutes ago, there was no 3 dot menu on my watch. But now, after updating the gear s plugin on my phone, it is there. Now I am able to choose, too!
No update here. Frontier s3 watch only. Ireland.
Not that i need it.. 3 days battery is enough for me so far.
