Pairing Gear S2 with Moto G2 (2014)

Hello everybody,
I bought a Samsung Gear S2 Classic and wanted to connect it with my Motorola Moto G2 (2014) with Android 6. Unfortunately it did not work, even though I have installed the following apps from the Play Store:
- Samsung Gear
- Gear Plugin
- Samsung Accessory Service
The seller told me i could connect without problems with all Android devices. But now, I have found that there is an official list of compatibilty devices:
samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/
Is it possible that my Moto G2 can not connect with the Gear S2? That would be a big disappointment for me.
Thanks & Greetings
Milo

Here is a thread with the same issue. It looks like the problem is regarding to the less RAM in the Moto G2 (2014). The Gear S2 needs at least 1,5 GB but the Moto G2 (2014) has only 1 GB. It looks like i need to buy a new phone to use the Gear S2.

Hi,
look to the thread you linked.
Now there is a working solution.
Best regards

I have removed the minimum RAM requirement check from the Samsung Gear app, so it's now also compatible with devices that have only 1GB of RAM.
Below is link to my blog where you can download the modified Samsung Gear app.

Pair Gear 2 Neo with Nexus 6P

How do I connect the Samsung Gear 2 Neo to my Nexus 6P?I don't want to use the Android wear port simply because I want to have calls on my watch working. I've installed the Samsung Gear app from the Google Play Store but it doesn't find my device. Please help.?

It has been stated many times all over this forum that it's not possible to synchronize a non samsung MM phone with a gear 2 running tizen. If you want to have calls on your watch you should buy a Samsung, quite simple.

I decompiled the gear manager app from the Google play store and it has a lot of strings about the gear 2. I don't understand why would they even bother about that if they don't want you to connect it to the phone...

I had a rooted oneplus 3T and could not install the gear apps from the playstore. I wont be able to tell you if you can get the apps from playstore if you are un-rooted because i have never tried it.
I did managed to get the gear apps from this thread by xda member j to the 4n

Mine is not rooted and by looking at google play i can download every app samsung has to offer regarding smartwatches
So in that case it'll work?

I would prefer you get the confirmation that it works form someone who is actually using the gear S3 with unrooted oneplus 3T

I had both device by 3 months: Samsung gear s3 classic (not lte) work perfectly with oneplus 3t (not rooted with original factory rom oxygen os by oneplus)
All feature of gear s3 work perfect with no workaround, I follow the istruction on display

Android Wear for Samsung Gear S3 Frontier???

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.

pixel 3 xl and Galaxy watch lte

So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.

I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly
