Hi,
I've got a friend with a Polar V800 watch and since she's got her Pixel 3 she's never been able to keep it paired. She never had any issues with her old Sony Android and she's not sure on any potential work-arounds. She's removed the pairing, cleared the cache and removed/re-installed the app with no joy.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
James

Apparently it's a known issue. I have the same problem, v800 with Pixel 3XL. More info here: support.polar.com/en/android-compatibility-notice

Hi. I've read a couple articles from a couple months ago that said there were issues pairing the Gear S2 to the Nexus 6p due to encryption. Is this still an issue?

this issue was solved ,the gear S2 now works with the 6P
Is this definitely fixed? I can't find anything official via Google and this one post is the only mention that the issue has been resolved.
If the issue with encryption has been fixed, has the notification issue also been fixed? I recall there being problems with notifications being pushed to the watch.
Hi can anyone verify this?
Everything is working normal on my Nexus 6 on 6.0 if that helps.

Did you unencrypt your phone? I flashed Chroma and unencrypted my Nexus 6 in order to get my Gear S2 to work. I tried it on stock rooted but could not get the update to download. Everything is working great now that I'm on Chroma ROM.
Now that I look at it, my phone has been unencrypted but forgot about doing it. I am running the normal 6.0 but I am rooted. I do have some Bluetooth issues though.
Not really sure if an issue but when ever I answer my phone it defaults to the watch, anyway to change that?
I have a Nexus 6, completely stock and running 6.0, that pairs perfectly fine with my gear s2. The only issue I see is that since it isn't a Samsung phone, I do not have access to all available apps for the s2. I've been looking around for a way to have access to them in order to install to my watch, but I haven't found anything definitive yet. Biggest thing I can't find is how to install Milk music to the watch (i've been able to sideload it onto my phone).

The Gear S2 sport has been working very well on my Nexus 6P for over a month. Just wish we'd get some software updates from Samsung now!
just to make sure before i go out and buy one. will this work on a rooted nexus 6P?

Go to settings, Bluetooth, click on the icon next to your gear s2, and uncheck phone audio. Then it will default to the handset earpiece / Bluetooth headset
Only issue I have is not being able to transfer music from my Nexus 6 (rooted running latest chroma) to the gear s2. The gear app doesn't recognize my "0/music" folder. Any suggestions other than painfully transferring single tracks at a time through filemaster?

Are you running chroma lollipop or marshmallow? Am thinking about getting the watch too but am running purenexus marshmallow. Is all the notification working on the nexus 6? Thanks
I'm running chroma marshmallow latest version. I get all of my notifications, only issue is a Nexus issue on how the internal storage route is interpreted by the Sammy software.
No, Samsung Gear S2 is not compatible with Nexus 6P. Its compatible with Nexus 5 and some lists of other smartphone devices. It is officially declare by samsung in their website. Here i will give you the screenshot of compatible devices list.

S2 classic works with my nexus 6p, and had been since I got my watch on Christmas

Do you have milk or any other music steaming app working without the phone?
I like the idea of being able to leave the phone behind (LTE version) for workouts and such but need streaming music.

I've had the Samsung Gear S2 classic for several months now, working perfectly with LGG2. Got a new Nexus 6P (Android 6.0.1) a week ago, did all OS updates and security updates and installed the Gear S2 app. It would pair and connect to my Gear S2 just fine but as soon as open the app and try to click on anything (e.g. watch faces, notifications, apps layout, etc...) it opens for 1s and closes again. I've tried repairing, reinstalling, resetting....re-anything but no luck. I have not tried turning off encryption yet but at this point the watch is unusable without the app. Very disappointing!

Ok...I fixed it. Just in case somebody was having the same issue. No rooting or ROM flashing necessary.
All I did was add "Google App" back into the list of apps that are allowed to send notifications to the Gear S2. I'm not entirely sure why this is related to notifications but I'm assuming since the OS needs to communicate with the watch to get all settings to display in the Gear app, that "Google App" is kind of synonymous for "anything Android" and should therefore always be left "on" in Gear app notifications.
I hope this helps somebody.
Cheers,
Mike
I just bought a Google cardboard vr headset and the honor 8 doesn't seem to work with it. It happens in the YouTube 360 videos too, when you try to set it to cardboard.
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm on the nougat beta, 320.
Thanks!
What kind of problem to you have ? I have the xiaomi vr headset and I can watch 360 YT videos without any problem.
You had the same issue on MM?!

I went to the nougat beta right when i got the phone so didn't check it on marshmallow.
The two video screens keep on jittering/shaking very fast like the calibration for gyroscope is off.
Thanks for the help! So it's either my phone or an issue with the beta update then!

It's probably a problem with the Nougat Beta, as it's not a fully working model. I'd recommend reverting back to Marshmallow and your device should work with Google Cardboard again.

Probably, just wait for an OTA and retry
I have the same problem but, not in beta, on Nougat.
Like this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-emui-5-android-7-0-gyroscope-t3562562
Other in this case ?
I'm still having this same problem on official nougat after a factory reset. Didn't have it on marshmallow.
I think some P9 owners are having the same issue.
Same issues here..
Never had an issue. Just used a generic VR headset.

Yes there is is problem with some of the phones. They seem to have got crappy circuts. Almost no VR app is working with my phone, and when you call support, they say we cannot take responsibility for one app. That is Google cardboard. And all of the thousands of apps that are in the. This is not a great support, in fact no support at all. My next phone will be a Samsung, they all work with cardboard. This one does not.

Hey.
Had this phone for a week now and whilst it's a great phone, there appears to be a few bugs which need sorting. The main one is the incompatibility with the car for controlling apps like Spotify or streaming music via Bluetooth.
The later is a real pain and one which is causing me to seriously consider getting rid of this device as it's a killer feature for me due to the amount of driving I do.
Had a quick look at Talk Sony forum and a few other people have the same problem but as of yet there is no update or word from Sony.
Anyone else have the same experience and a potential solution?
Cheers
Scott
No solution, I got word from Sony that they are working on it, but my guess is that this will be fixed with Android O, and this could be months ahead :/
But maybe we will receive an update for Android 7, who knows...
Thanks for the reply. This kind of settles it then as Monday is last day of my cooling off period.. Gonna have to take it back as there is no way I can function in my job if I can t use handsfree properly or music
Such a shame.
had the same thing, after much research i found its probably the fact that the premium has bluetooth 5, with special codecs for music streaming. Non of which was available in 2012 when my car was made.
Ive ordered a £3 hadfree kit of ebay to see if that makes any difference.

I was gonna do the same but the only offer they gave me was an s8 with less data for an extra £15 a month. I stuck with the Sony and am hoping when my new car arrives it works.
Good luck.
I have a new 2017 BMW and I am stunned that it doesnt work. The S8 works great and the iPhone is perfect but for some reason Sony have been left out in the dark.

Spoke to Sony. They do believe their device is at fault and have no plans to do any software tweaks till Android O
I dont have any issues with mine controlling pause, play, last or next song, but I switched to Deezer a while back. Ive had more than one issue with Spotify on other devices, so I moved on from that service.

It's such a strange problem.
Hi guys goodevening I've solve this issue ! you just to go o dev menu anche change bluetooth version avrcp from 1.6 to 1.4 after that it will worck again with the idrive with any app.
I tried changing avrcp to 1.4 yet it still won't stream music at all to my alpine head unit.
Didn't even come up as an option under Bluetooth. Says it is connected for calls and contacts only.
The alpine works fine with galaxy note 2, 4, galaxy s5 and s8, Huawei y550. So the fault is with the xz premium.
Same Problem with Alpine and Bose. Solution?

Did you make sure the respective Bluetooth profiles were enabled for the device? Sometimes you need to manually enable them. My FISCON for my MINI works just fine. But it does take some minutes for the contracts to download the first time...
Hello, recently I purchase the Google pixel 6a, and I can't connect to my TocWatch clock. It doesn't appear on Bluetooth devices.. on other phones yes.
Some ideas?

You will need to reset your device first, the watch.

This is what worked for me-- I have TicWatch 3 Pro and 3 Pro Ultra. Both required resets. Still an issue getting one of my AmEx cards (the one I use the most!) back on WearOS G Wallet. Hopefully, Google support re-issues tokens or whatever they do. AmEx says no issue on their end.
Thanks! Solved with a reset
