So I purchased gear s3 frontier last week in a deal. Was so excited. But after few hours my excitement died down and turned into frustration.
S plugin keeps stopping every minute on my phone (Rooted S8 with Magisk and renovate ice rom) incessantly.
Being a techno savvy guy I tried almost everything.
Restarted phone and watch.
Reset the watch multiple times a day.
Reset my phone.
Updated software.
Downgraded the s plugin - worked for a while and then an update was forced.
Deleted busybox.
Magisk hide all gear apps.
Uninstalled xposed.
Talked to customer service.
Any suggestions for a possible solution?

Hello!
All out of a sudden, since a couple of weeks ago - the Gear S2 and my S7 Edge started hating eachother.
When set alarm rings on the Edge for example, its supposed to show on the Gear S2... which it used to do - but now
nothing appears on the watch and the phone spams "Gear Plugin has stopped" in an endless loop. Most features work perfect but some
stuff is just broken like this.
I tried resetting watch, clearing data of all gear-releated apps on phone and so on, but its still the same...
Yes, my phone is rooted + custom rom, it worked perfect for a good while, but then not, without me changing anything (as far as I'm aware) !
I start to believe a total reset of phone is the only way to fix it. Its so annoying to setup all banking apps etc again...
Just wanted to hear if anyone else had this problem.... + possible solutions :good:
Samsung Galaxy S7 , stock Nougat rom, XEF France.
After waited 2 months in addition to other countries like Trinidad-Tobago, Chad, Vanuatu etc., for the Nougat rom, received about a week ago, ... lots of happiness.
Installed, made a factory reset, installed again like new. From that moment, once a day reboots, in time of use. Until now it reboots just when I use it, no heat, no heavy usage, today when I tracked a bike trip, yesterday when transfered a file to my S7 through bluetooth. No reboots during "sleep".
No changes made to rom, everything is stock. Same apps I used with marshmallow.
Is there a log where I can look? Can I use an app to track this?
Thanks.
Update
Done a new reinstall, this time installed marshmallow and made ota update to nougat. No problems 2 days, this morning entered google play, updated some apps and it rebooted again.
So the rebooting happens with screen on, using the phone.
Hello I have a Galaxy S7 and since the update to Android Nougat 7.0, my phone restarts randomly, it can stay an entire week without restart and it can also restart 2 days in a row. It's totally random. I have reset to the factory settings and I have reinstalled only the most important applications (facebook messenger, viber, yahoo mail) but unfortunately about ten days after reset, the problem has reappeared. What could be the cause of this problem? For info, the firmware version installed on my phone is: G930FXXU1DQBO. Also, I saw on SamMobile that the countries that received the update later, had a new version. Could the problem come from that? Is this a bug in the firmware installed on my Galaxy S7. Thank you in advance for your help.
My galaxy s7 issue with reboots, every day, i did a full wipe data and cache, another rom and nothing
Hi There,
About a week ago, there was an update to the Gear S-Plugin on my phone. I installed this update and all of a sudden when I received a call on my phone, the name would be displayed on my watch. GREAT. I've been wanting this feature. Then I started to notice that my watch was constantly disconnecting/reconnecting to my phone. I've been playing around with settings for the past week trying to get it to work. Today, I bit the bullet and decided to re-install all software. I reset the watch to factory and uninstalled all related software and started from scratch. Not 10 minutes after I finished, my watch disconnected again. It spends more time being disconnected than connected. Am I the only one experiencing this issue? For the past year and a half since I got the watch, it is been working flawlessly. Nothing has changed on my phone other than app updates.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to what to try next would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jason...
I had Samsung Gear / S Plugin update on Google Play today (10/10) for my S2 and afterwards, all I get are FC's and the S Plugin constantly crashing on my device, making the watch completely unusable.
I had to force stop and remove the software from my phone and factory reset the watch. I'm not the only one who is dealing with this issue either.

So if you're constantly getting crashes today, at least you know why. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this or not. If there is, please let me know. Everything was working great until Google Play updated the software today.
Thanks!
Had the same issue, but I did have xposed on my rooted phone. Without xposed the update seems to be working fine...

I switched from SuperSU to Magisk last week and have "hidden" all the Samsung Gear apps from root. Now, I can use Samsung Pay (and Android Pay) on my phone. Before switching to Magisk, some of the Gear apps were listed as incompatible. Everything works great now including all the latest Gear Apps & Plugins.
High phone cpu usage
Hello to everyone. I'm dealing problems after last update of gear app software. Every time Gear S2 tries to exchange data (reconnection, data to Shealth, watch apps install) with Galaxy S5 (android 5.0 and android 6.0.1) it uses 99% of phone cpu for 50-60sec, , sucking both batteries (phone and watch). Tried on android 5.0, android 6.0.1, rooted or not. Is there any ideas what is wrong?
I just recently got an iPhone 8+ ( )after being an Android owner for years and initially had no problems with it and my watch. After the IOS 12 update, my phone was having a problem with the battery draining, so I did a complete wipe and reset of it last night. The watch worked fine on 12 before the reset. This morning I tried to install an app and a few watch faces and the Samsung app will not let me. When I hit "install", I get a message on the app saying to "check gear". On the watch, it is asking to connect to a wifi network. I have it set to auto, which is how it has always been. I tried setting it to on all the time, and verified it was connected, but I get the same message when trying to install apps. I tried removing and reinstalling the app, but that made no difference. I really do not want to reset the watch due to the fact that there is no apparent way to backup my watch faces, and I have about 20 of them!
Has anybody else ran into a problem like this?
Never mind! I figured it out. Was just a dumb error om my part!!
