Before I buy, will OP6 work with Samsung gear S3 100%? - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I have a S7 that will be replaced soon and I rather have a OP6 than a S9, but it has to work with my Gear S3 and use all it's functions like Samsung pay, phonecalls, Samsung health. Also that the Bluetooth can handle 2 Connie tons at the same time like bt audio in my car/Sony bt headphones.

all exept samsung pay will work. having op6 or s9 to decide, i wouldn't even consider s9..

Haven't tested samsung pay but everything else is working fine on mine.

I get my op6 Tuesday, and one of the first things I'll do is set up my gear s3. I'm really hoping Samsung pay will work. According to some initial research, it's seems possible. Lots of mixed results. I'll definitely come back with some results next next week.

I have a Bluetooth Gear S3 classic and an OnePlus 6. Everything works (Samsung pay included) though I had to use apkmirror to download the Samsung Pay (gear plug-in) app.

Yeah looked like from what I read you have to have the "plug-in" app, but I thought you could get it from the playstore. Did it not show up in the playstore?
Edit: now that I think about it, it's all done through the Samsung gear app. However others have had the same issue where the plug-in fails to install. In which case the solution is as Dennis says above.

yeah I don't think Number Sync will work but via Bluetooth it will, My Gears S2 works so the S3 should be fine via Bluetooth

It was not on the play store for me, but apkmirror is run by the Android police guys and is reliable. They even show when the signature for a file is the same as on the play store (which it is for everything I've come across).

Been using my Gear S3 (Frontier) with no problems at all. Works very well thus far - enough to get me to dump my Apple Watch finally.
Now to find a way to replace the stupid 1+ phone app and this is a keeper for sure.

I have a 5t and a gear s3.
Everything works fine calls etc. Samsung pay is the hardest to get working. I had to install the apk from apk mirror. Also if yous ever chnage roms use titanium backup to backup every samsung app and its services or the watch will need to reset itself.
Btw if u root. Use magisk hide to hide all the samsung apps.
Fyi use google messages so u can reply on the watch. And if u can/want use googles phone app.

Thank you for all your input!
Now I can go agead and order the phone:good:

Working:
Latest version of samsung pay APK doesn't work.
Downloaded much older version and it worked like a charm:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-gear-1-5-6306-android-apk-download/download/
You might need to enable "install unknown apps"

Hey mate. I tried installing this on my oneplus 6 , the apk file installs fine but when I open it I get the following error message.
''Unable to continue using samsung pay, your gear may not be supported.''
Was it the oneplus 6 you managed to get this working on ? or was it a different model.
Cheers

I got that message too and several errors trying to reach the server but eventually it'll work. Try uninstalling samsung pay plugin, gear app and factory reset on the watch, then download both apps on the phone, pair with the gear app, when you install the smasung pay plugin using the apk, tap on update and then add your cards

I hear that it's better then it was but still can be flaky. Just gotta play some games to get it to wrok right I guess. Gonna wait for the new S4 watch that is ditching Tizen OS and finally going with Android Wear OS.

OnePlus 6. Find the 1.5 apk and install that.
Worked for me. Newer versions tended to give me errors like you did.
Been using samsung pay for the past month successfully. Extra bonus, the 1.5 apk has limited compatibility with the samsung gear app unlike later versions. A nice bonus is if safetynet fails(ie: magisk failed to hide it), samsung pay on the watch still works flawlessly.

I don't know if Samsung pay will work or not because I have a rooted op6 phone, and I know it doesn't work very well with rooted phones. I finally just broke down and bought a Galaxy S5 for 75 bucks on eBay and I have it plugged in at home 24/7. I used to set up my watch and Samsung pay and since it's a Samsung phone it works 100% over the internet. Non-samsung phones require a Bluetooth connection with their host phone to work with all of the features. So my Samsung phone at home connects with my gear S3 watch over the internet no matter where I am. it works like a champ for me and I'm not having to wipe my watch and reset it up every 3 days because I'm messing around with my Op6. I have been thinking about trying to get at work I'm going to be 6 just for grins and if I do I will report back here lol.

I have been using the gear S3 frontier with the op6 from the beginning, I've had the phone since launch, and everything works 100%.

Use magisk hide so Samsung pay works on one plus.

I have the Gear S3 Frontier with a Oneplus 6T that just arrived yesterday.
Everything was downloaded and installed by the Google Play store.
It works just like it did on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Now I'm wondering if Samsung Pay will detect if I root or not. I did not take this chance on my Galaxy Note 5

App Failed to install

I have had some limited success installing apps. I got the sleep one to install (b4 they took it off the market) and a clockface. But any others I try just download and give me the app failed to install. (news feeder and the 360 one) everything else is working on My gear 2. Not a huge deal now as I am just testing it out, there are no good apps out yet. But I was trying to get it straight before the avalache of awesome apps starting coming in im sure here real shortly right. Anyone had similar issues?
I never had the gear 1 or followed it, how long before we got root and cool support/apps for it. anyone know? Of course this being one of the first Tizen products I would expect it to take longer.

Gear S2 and android 6, donot work!!!

I have a nexus 5X.
The App from Samsung donot work with my Phone.
When i try to look for it in play store, i cannot find it, from the link that you have from watch, you will see it in play store, but is not compatible with the Phone [emoji22]

At the moment the Gear will not work with Marsmallow.
Gruß Kai
Yeah hasn't been able to stay connected to Marshmallow phones since October 12. Have to do a reset of S2 every time they go out of range of each other.
A user on Android Central with a Nexus 6 on Marshmallow is reporting that there is a firmware update under About Gear in the Gear app that has fixed the Bluetooth connection issue. I don't have my S2 with me at the moment, so anyone with a Marshmallow phone should check for the Firmware. Please let us know if you're successful in repeatedly reconnecting without having to do a reset every time you go out of range. Thanks!
Just got my Gear S2 updated firmware applied last night and it fixes the issue with the need to reset the device when you loose bluetooth connection. All they need to do for me now is find a way to update the Gear apps on the playstore to accept my Nexus 5X as a legit device so I don't have to sideload it. Things are really looking up.

I'm gonna assume that you've already checked the Play Store again after installing the firmware update, so it is strange that they haven't updated the Gear app on the Play Store.
I can confirm that I have repeatedly been able reconnect my S2 to my Nexus 5 on Marshmallow after I installed the S2 firmware update that was available in the USA in the Gear app under the About Gear settings. I went from firmware version R720XXU2AOIL to R720XXU2AOJ3. I found that even after installing the firmware, I had to do one Light Reset on the S2 before the S2 would reconnect.
So far so good. Have intentionally gone out of range 6 times and reconnected all 6 times. Will report back if situation changes.

The app from play store, from 12th oct (current version that i can see at play store), is not compatible with my phone, nexus 5X, so, i cannot install it.
if the app is not compatible with my phone is for android 6. A firmware update without this app is for nothing

Weird. I'm using a Nexus 5, and maybe because I installed it prior to upgrading my phone to Marshmallow I have access to the Gear app. I can send you the apk if you don't have it. It downloads the Gear Plugin and the Samsung Accessory Service apps, and I couldn't back up those apks (or I don't know how to), so I can't provide those two, but perhaps if you have the Gear apk, it'll trigger downloading those two like it did for me. No idea why the app is compatible with a Nexus 5, but not a 5X.

since Samsung has actually released a firmware update that fixed (so far) the Bluetooth connection issue, I think they will update the Gear app, momentarily. Also, they never certified the 5X or the 6P, since they are brand new. I think this will be sorted out soon enough.
Oh, and there are three apks, not two. Two at first, but they added the Samsung Accessory Service apk afterwards.
yes, 3 files, i have donwload all of them all running...... i will try to test it before buy the watch
Ok, let´s go
I went to a Samsung store, try with a gear s2.
bluetooth pair ok, no problem, like always. From phone or from app
But, when you try to connect from app (i installed 3 apks)... nothing, no way.

Tnx, Vladimir

Can you give more details?
Maybe you received any kind of update... maybe Firmware update for "Gear"...
Btw... which Gear S3?
SM-R760 or SM-R770 or ...
And your Firmware Version is now?
Sometimes damn auto updates creates "funny" sideeffects...
Samsung is also known as "Master of Changes"...
They easy disable something... in "new" Software...

I tried to connect my Gear fit 2 with old Samsung Galaxy S3 phone and Samsumg Gear app worked perfect... so I guess is an Samsung gear app issue on non Samsung phones.

No Samsung Pay.
Just "This device does not support Gear" or an empty Galaxy Apps store when it does load.

Hey I know this is from 2 months ago but I thought I'd let you all know (and anybody who might find this page via Google) that I figured it out!
OK so you know how when you are first attempting to setup the watch it asks you to visit a website? You HAVE to visit that website if you want it to work on a non-Samsung phone! You cannot go to the Play Store and search for the Samsung Gear App. Why Samsung did this I have no idea. Basically what they have are TWO DIFFERENT Samsung Gear apps that appear to be identical; except one is for Samsung phones and one is for all others. WHY THEY DECIDED NOT TO STATE THIS ON THE APP PAGE IS BEYOND ME.
Anyway if you are having this problem, uninstall your Samsung Gear app. Then go to your watch, go to settings and choose the option to connect it to a new phone. On your cell phone, go to the website it tells you to. The website will ask you if you are using a Samsung phone or another phone, so obviously don't click the Samsung option. This will give you a direct link to the Samsung Gear app that is meant for all other phones.
Again it's a really bizarre thing on Samsung's part but I am so glad to have figure it out and I hope my post helps you guys or anyone else Googling this issue in the future.
EDIT: The website is http://apps.samsung.com/gear

where did Samsung pay go?

I've had this watch for a few months using it with my Pixel XL and Samsung pay has been working fine since I got it. Recently it hasn't been working and every time I open the gear app I get a message saying Samsung pay has stopped working. I tried resetting the watch, uninstalling everything related to it from my pixel and set it up as if it was new. Now there isn't even an option for Samsung pay in the gear app and holding the back button does nothing. Does anyone know why it disappeared?

I'm in the U.S. I did hear that the international version doesn't support Samsung pay but it's definitely a U.S version. And it's not in the settings of the gear app. Pretty much everywhere there used to be something about Samsung pay it's now missing from.

That's really odd too that shouldn't happen. Can you try to download samsung pay apk for gear watch online and see if that works
Here https://www.sammobile.com/apk/samsung-pay-for-gear/samsung-pay-for-gear-1-4-1404/
If your rooted use an older version like 1.2 and see if that works
Installing the APK didn't work. I'm not rooted but I do have the beta of Android O installed. Maybe that has something to do with it

Oh well that could most definitely cause that not to work as samsung pay isn't made for that version of Android right now

Oh well. Hopefully Samsung will update it soon to be compatible.
I just downgraded back to Nougat and can confirm that the beta version of Android O is what broke Samsung pay. So just a warning to anyone who has a gear S3 and wants to try Android O, you won't be able to use Samsung pay.

Gear app and rooted devices

Hello!
Just got a Gear Fit 2 Pro. Although it looks like an awesome device, imagine my surprise when I found out I can't use it with my rooted HTC 10...
Before selling it (anybody wants one? Been worn for half an hour or so!), I wanted to make sure I've got it right. I've seen the thread over at https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-samsung-gear-app-android-n-samsung-t3547035 and used the apps - and they work on my phone.
However, the thread states that the app is now compatible on Play and was closed - hence, no more updates... Is this the case? Am I missing something? How can I continue to get updates?
Thanks!

Before selling it (anybody wants one? Been worn for half an hour or so!), I wanted to make sure I've got it right. I've seen the thread over at https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...d-samsung-gear-app-android-n-samsung-t3547035 and used the apps - and they work on my phone.
However, the thread states that the app is now compatible on Play and was closed - hence, no more updates... Is this the case? Am I missing something? How can I continue to get updates?
Thanks!

I use my gear fit 2 pro with a rooted samsung s7 edge, not sure if it is because my phone is samsung but i cant see this being the case. I use Magisk for rooting but dont hide the gear app.
Perhaps they've changed something since then, but I did use Magisk and tried to hide it too, it never worked...
Hi ?

I purchased my Gear Fit 2 Pro 2 days early and I don't have any problem with it on my Rooted Galaxy S9.
Only one problem that I faced that I can't buy some paid watchfaces, but I resolved it by hiding magisk from Galaxy Store, so if someone have problems with Rooted Device, just use magisk hide option and everything will work…
