Hello everyone!!
I just got a Samsung Gear S3 as a father's day gift.
It's a very good looking smartwatch, but honestly I dont like Tizen OS.
Is there any way to change this TIZEN OS for Android Wear OS??
Thank you.
There I still no way to root and change the OS of the Gear in Android Wear. You can go to this thread and check the progress they are on it but no one can say when it finally happens.

No Android is correct.
No Rooting is not fully correct...

After installing the stang5litre 5.0 non-mdk
can't install the samsung wearable app from play store, said the app is no longer compatible with my device. This app is needed to pair and connect to my samsung galaxy S3 frontier smartwatch. My phone is the samsung S4 sch-i545 build of1, I downgraded from from PL1 to OF1 in order to run this rom.

Anyone have luck with using a gear s with a none Samsung phone? Or running android wear on a gear s??
Would love to get a non Samsung phone soon and still be able to use the watch. Pretty much only use the watch for GPS apps to run.

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I don't know much about the smart watches, I don't see why not, but the Gear S Q&A Help forum will be happy to help you out with your question, once you register for an account.
Good luck!
OK thanks
What's new and will the firmware R732XXU2CPC5 support the iPhone?
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/03/31/samsung-gear-s2-gets-another-software-update/
Brings the same features as R732XXU2CPB7, and I've just tested, it does NOT support the iPhone.
Anyway to download the firmware for wireless odin? I can't update through gear manager since downgrading to use with an iPhone? I got a s7 edge just for this and I'm stuck on "your Gear has been modified and cannot be updated". Thanks
I have not seen the first one. My Gear S2 sport is on R720XXU2BPA4

Updated to CPC5 here in Canada (west coast) on 11 Apr 16. New auto brightness and airplane mode. Maybe more. Will test as time permits.
Received CPC5 update on Gear S2 Classic (wifi) today in Virginia/USA.
I initiated the update manually, so don't know when it actually became available....
Does anyone have the ODIN Flashable Package for this R732XXU2CPC5 Update ?
Got the R732XXU2CPC5 around 2:00 am today by manually checking for update. I'm in Northern VA
I got mine last night by manually updating. I'm in Georgia.
I installed Samsung gear app on iphone and it says NO GEAR DEVICES. App says to update gear software. My version software on samsung gear s2 is: R720XXU2BOKK. Version: KNOX. I will try to update it with a samsung mobile and then I will come back to the iphone and try it.
Just to give more information, my girfriend has a Samsung gear s2 too and she has version software: R720XXU2AOJ3. Version: KNOXX. She is able to pair the iphone with her samsung gear s2 without the application, just as a bluetooth device. I was able to do it as well but I made a big mistake of pairing it with a samsung mobile and I updated the software of the samsung gear s2, then came back to my iphone and the Iphone didn't find samsung gear S2.
Still doesn't fix the "always on isn't always on" problem. (When you enable display always on, it goes completely blank after a while and needs a button press to get back).
Wow, the auto brighness is effing stupid.
Before, I had always on screen and outside, I could tolerate brightness of 3, and could see al lof my watch faces and notifications.
Now the damn thing is always at its highest and blows through 80% in less than 12 hours.
ANd I dont even check it as often anymore.
Just give me a damn off button for auto brightness, god.

I had this problem, too.
Did you set the Gear S2 already back to factory settings? Afterwards my iPhone found the Gear and started working with the app.

Yes sir! I've done it and now it's working! Thank you !
Having tried manual updates many times it (SM-R732) finally updated automatically today. I don't notice much difference on the auto-brightness, maybe because I have the brightness set pretty low (3)? Still good to have the addition of Flight Mode.
Samsung Gear Manager App is now available for IPhone / IOS. The app will allow control with an Gear S2.
Trying to find out if anyone has figured out a way for the app to work with the Gear 2?
Thanks,
see ur news soon

What does that mean??
I can't be the only one that wants the gear 2 to work on the iPhone am I?
I installed the Gear Manage App on my IPhone but cannot get it to pair with the watch from the App.
I can get it to pair without using the App.

Not sure why it wouldn't work or somehow be made to work. In my understanding both are running Tizen. Maybe I should have posted this in the developers thread?

The others Gear was never made to works with others phone that Samsung phone. So it is not now that Samsung will change their software to adapt on their others abandoned watch..... Gear S2 has not the same firmware or Tizen version than the Gear 1&2 and the Gear S has not same Tizen version than Gear 1&2 and Gear S2....
There must be a way to update the Gear 2 to the same Tizen version as the Gear S2. Or at least a Tizen version that would work with ios.
Good Morning Everybody,
So I am now rocking an Asus Zenwatch 3 and since the Android Wear 2.0 update is not coming, I am trying to get myself a new smartwatch.
I am thinking either to buy the Gear S3 or to stay on Android Wear 2.0 and going for the Huawei Watch 2 Classic or LG Watch Style.
My phone is not a Samsung and I don't intend in getting one soon, I currently have the Google Pixel XL and in a couple of days switching to the Blackberry Keyone.
Question, is this watch worthed and useful?
Does it work well with a non Samsung Device?
How's Tizen compare to Android Wear?
Thanks
The whole functionality you'll only get with a Samsung phone from 4.3/4.4. (Samsung Store/Pay, watch updates and so on often failes on different android-phones)
Some Android-phones are completely not supported (not only because of root and custom roms..), like my Mediapad X2...

https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/how-to-gear-s3-unsupporteted-android-t3521532
(AndroidWear is working fine on my phone, without any limitations, also 2.0 update with my Huawei Watch 1)
I switched from using an LG to a Samsung phone with the S3.There was very little additional functionality gained. Here's a chart that compares all the features across Samsung, Android, and iOS devices.

Thank you guys
Well, I'm using it with the Blackberry Priv and I don't have any issues at all. It is connected via Bluetooth. I logs my walks, hikes and bike rides and I can view the info on the watch or in the S-health app on the Priv. I can update or install apps and watch faces from the Priv. I have been using S-pay which I still find weirdly fun to do!!!! But the Priv still runs Marshmallow. I don't know any details but there are or may be issues with Nougat on some aspects of the Gear S3 (others can let you know if S-pay works).
I'm also active on the Crackberry forum and there have been a few discussions of the Gear S3 there. There's also a Keyone thread and maybe you could ask for info.

Thank you. I will do
I'm using the S3 with a Moto G4 and everything works with no restrictions. Don't feel like you need a Samsung phone to use all the features.

What does the comment help all those who do not have all the functions with his android phone?
Or what is the general benefit of this observation?
Additionally, the thread creator has no Moto G4 -
if I am not wrong
I have been using Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as the carrier with earlier a Gear S2 and now Gear S3 Frontier (and Moto 360 prior to the Gear watches), and absolutely love my S3.
The key aspects of the watch which I find very useful - The rotating dial and unique interface, excellent battery, nice in built S-Health, Samsung-Pay, etc should work with all Android phones. With Gear app and S-Health app available in Google App-store, anyone with an Android phone can install them and make use of them.
The other features I also like very much is ability to sync all messages and email on the S3 itself since I use the Samsung native messaging and email app on my Note5. This I believe will be the only things not available with other Android devices.
Overall - The message/email syncing, S-Pay from wrist, decent stock health tracking app, very intuitive and nice interface with rotating bezel, and extremely competitive battery life (I get 4 days with Always on Display off) has made me absolutely adore the S3.
Is there already a way to run Android Wear 2.0 instead of Tizen on my Gear Sport?
Then maybe you bought wrong device?
SM-R600 is since few days/weeks on market available... with funtastic Tizen 3.0.0.1...
With creme de la creme Development from Samsung R&D...
Tizen 3 only need 5 years to pop out in real market...
Btw... is obsolete as Tizen 5 ehm 4 is now "in" in Samsung R&D...
Gear S2 NO success yet:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/development/development-android-wear-gear-s2-t3295079
Gear S3 less progress:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/how-to/gear-s3-android-wear-port-wip-t3584588
But feel free to find your own way... for SM-R600.
Firmware for study is for instance here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-sport/help/sm-r600-firmware-odin-repair-study-t3688495
Similar problem like we know from SM-R760/SM-R770...
ROOT access and/or bypass of Security AGAINST Firmware modification...
And for sure...
Samsung increased Security in Tizen 3 crap...
My opinion...
Best Regards
Hey, thank you! No I didn't bought the wrong device. There's only no one with Android Wear 2.0 which is nearly as good as the Gear Sport and.
But I hate the App Store of Tizen and S-Health. So I asked me if it is possible to run Android Wear 2.0 on the Gear Sport. But it seems a bit tricky and long work.
Is there any other Option to run Apps from Play Store on Tizen with my Gear Sport?

No, you cannot run Android apps on a non-Android device, there are zero options unfortunately. But if you got Android on it, you would be missing out on the watch spinning dial, and with such a small screen on the sport, I couldn't imagine going touchscreen-only.

I think you may be mistaken.
I have a Samsung Gear 2 Neo, running Android Wear 1.5. The Neo originally came running on Tizen.
I have a Fossil Explorist with a stem that turns, scrolling through items on the display.
Whose to say there will not be a developer that creates a way to install Wear OS onto the Gear Sport, utilizing the spinning bezel to scroll?
This is what xda is all about.
Can something not be worked based on the previously provided OneUI by Samsung which was based on Android 9? Willing to test any advances on my gear sport.
