Is S-Voice an app that is no longer available for the SM-R380 Gear 2?
Such a shame, it was much better than using quick replies.....or fleksy messenger.
I just picked up the S3 Frontier....and using S-Voice is cool once again.....besides that, I still like the Gear2 ...maybe more than the S3
S-Voice is gone [emoji22] I liked it too and my Gear 2. I want to get a square faced Gear watch but I have no idea if Samsung will bring it back.

Sorry to bother you, but my son used my old Gear 2 and he changed the phone's software. I loaded the Tizen Software but it's not Samsung software and it won't accept updates. With all that said do you know where I could a fresh ROM I think it's called so I go back to Samsung instead of Tizen. Since the watch is old there isn't any posts or current support. Any help greatly appreciated still a great watch.

You have to search the old threads, there's not a lot of people who are still owners of the great watch.

I am considering purchasing a Nexus 6 when it becomes available on T-mobile but would really hate not being able to pair it with my Gear 2. I really have become addicted to it. I had been originally holding out for the Note Edge to replace my Note 3 but then was able to get one of the Nexus 9 tablets and I think that I am becoming a convert to "pure android"! Any thoughts or speculations would be appreciated. Hard facts would be even better.
still looking?

I have both devices but have only paired my android wear watches so far with the N6. that being said if you are still looking for an answer let me know and we could do some testing.
Probably not... I don't even think you could get the gear to pair on non tw roms? It took awhile for them to port it to the n2 but that didn't have full compatability. The way I understood it is there more concerned with running it on the Samsung devices so it is left up to the devs and I don't think samsung has quite hit the mark on the smart watch market yet.

I have done some looking and I'm sure you can get it working at least 90% of all functionality

I have been using my gear 2 and my gear S for a while now. The nexus 6 is no different. There are a couple ways to go about it without using touch wiz. The gear 2 is actually much better considering that there is already a rooted custom rom out for it, and like i said, with that you will get about 95% functionality. I believe the weather app isnt 100% working and one more thing whixh i cant think of, but all the good stuff works perfect and even a few added features. Making/ recieving calls, ir blaster, watch faces, bluetooth, notifica.... all thats 100%. If you need any help or wan't to try it just pm me. I think this op may have found his answer already though.

Hi there. I sent you a PM about a similar request. Can you please check and let me know?
Did you guys actually figure out if it works with nexus 6?
Hi, someone managed to connect the gear 2 with nexus 6? I'm trying but, but I do not get results. If someone have a solution can post a guide?
Would appreciate it too
Please help!!
I have gone through all the methods in trying to connect my gear 2 to my nexus 6 and nothing will work!! Has anyone actually found a way?? I don't mind if some thing don't work, I just like the text and call features anyway.. Please respond to me, I love my watch and don't want to go over to a different one
any updates on this? will the samsung gear 1 OR the gear 2 watch work with the nexus 6 2014 version? thx
I tried following an XDA tread to connect Gear 2 Neo to Moto X 3 XT1575, with watch still on Tizen. No joy.
This method worked easily, but it will be an Android Wear watch: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953
I don't know if it's posted but if not this video helped me connect both my gear watches to my phone.

Yeah thanks I'm sure some might use. However the downfall for this with the gear s Is you are severely limited. At this point why own the gear s? You might be better off getting the gear s2 at this point. That or just get another cheaper smart watch that doesn't have 3g s2 capabilities.
There is a forum on the gear s part that they have been able to get it dang near fully functional but I and a few others haven't gotten it to work on the v10. It sucks as I prefer the gear s but if I can't get it fully functional with the v10 I might just try out the s2

I did just this,switched from the Gear S to the Gear S2.
As you,I actually liked the Gear S,but,I'm glad I made the switch,works well w/the V10.
My preference is the square/rectangle form factor,but,the S2 has quickly grown on me.They finally got the watchband right,flows right in w/the body of the watch & the clasp isn't clunky when doing desktop work.
I still have the Gear2,which is still my favorite watch by far & holding out hope that someone can get it to work w/Marshmallow.

How do I get a face watch on my Gear Fit 2 watch? I have an LG V10 phone and I have the Samsung Gear app. I purchased a face watch from Google, and now I need to get it on my watch. How do I do that? Any suggestions?
Hi
I really like the Samsung Gear S2, but if they drop updates like this, when the watch is 2 years old? I rather get a Android Wear, as at least they keep updating it for more than two years. I can see the last update for this watch is 24-04-22, which is a year after it's released, all development from Samsung has stopped. Is this normal Samsung procedure or is there a special reason that they stopped on this device (like they sold too little)?
So do you think that I can get updates in the future from Samsung if I buy a new one or should I just buy an Android Wear?
Thanks in advance
Typical of Samsung. They put out new tech so often, they drop support quickly. Samsung is known for this, unfortunately.

I agree. Specifically one that would allow it to work with the new Gear Manager for iphone.
I am very seriously considering getting a S2 Classic 4g for fathers day. I currently use a Note 3 but will be pre-ordering the Note 6 as soon as it is available. If you have the S2 4G, how do you like it?
Could you please provide a link to the app store? I would like to see what type of app that are now available. I like the idea of making a quick phone call straight from the watch. Is there a navigation app that works with the watch yet? Will it vibrate on your wrist when a turn or exit is coming up? Can you use samsung pay from the watch?
Thanks for any advice
I have the Verizon sport version. It is nice to know it will still work if I leave my phone at home.
I don't think you can look at the app store without a watch paired. I can look up an app if you want.
I've seen a few navigation apps but they require you watch be connected via Bluetooth, but otherwise I believe they do want you want.
There is no samsung pay yet, but it's supposed to be released in 2016.

I would just wait for the Gear S3 coming out in November.

Using the samsung pay from a watch at Mc Donalds seems pretty convenient.

My Note 3 hooks up to my car audio system through bluetooth. If the watch is now paired to my phone, do I now loose the capability to answer phone calls through my car?

Or the gear S4 in 2017, or the gear S5 in 2018. If you always wait for the next generation you'll always be waiting.

In this case, I think it was great advice since I remarked in the original thread that i was going to be getting a Note 6 when it becomes available. I think I will wait for the S3 since I will have the newest samsung phone available when the S3 comes out. I would think the note 6 and the S3 will work together much better than the note 3 would with the S2.

I'd think the note 6 will work fine with the Gear S2 since the S2 is the latest at the time the note 6 is released. Not only that but no one knows when or if the gear S3 will be released, what it will look like, or what specs it will have. Waiting for a release is a huge gamble, waiting for a device that may or may not be released is an even larger gamble.

Have the original Huawei watch.... Screens a bit burned in and looking for a replacement. Liked the HWatch, was ehhh with AW 2.0 so I'm fine with moving OS's. Looking around I don't see many options I really like outside of the S3 classic, however I have been reading nothing but horror stories about Tizen 3 update. Is it really that bad? If I'm going to be forced to run a nearly 18 month old watch on original firmware I might as well stick with what I got.
Any input to assist me here?

I have the Gear S3 frontier on 3.0 and no issues. I get 2 - 3 days on a charge depending on the watch face.

I also came from the Huawei Watch v1 and just got the Gear S3 Classic yesterday. The reason I switched was because I also do not like Android Wear 2.0. Overall, I do like the Gear S3 but I also miss the app selection and support of Android Wear. If all you're going to use the watch is for notifications with simple replies, then the Gear S3 will work for you. However, if you're planning on using the watch as somewhat of a phone replacement, then the Gear S3 is severely lacking in that category. The reason why I state this is due to the lack of app developers that support Tizen.
Forget about native Google Maps support on your watch, texting is really only done via replies, Fidme for loyalty cards, i.g. Starbucks, is hit or miss, etc. Overall though, as I stated above, if your main goal is just to have notifications on your wrist, have Samsung Pay, and don't mind using S Health for fitness, then the Gear S3 is an awesome device. If you need anything more, you're better off going with Android Wear for the full application and developer support on the platform.
