Hello,
I'm using older Samsung Gear watches:
Galaxy Gear SM V700 (camera on side of band)
Gear 2 (camera on face)
Gear S (widest and fatter screen)
Gear S2 Classic.
I have had every single one paired with the S10e for over a week. A week (give or take) later, the SM V700 went back to the bluetooth and NFC pairing screen. It refuses to pair again.
Here's what I've done so far:
Clear the bluetooth cache
Clear the network settings.
Uninstall all Gear Wearables and Gear related apps
Re-Install all of the necessary Gear related apps.
Shut phone off and on, rebooted, and re-started and turned completely off again.
Uninstall all watches and exclusively added SM V700 by itself
Went into T-Mobile for help (2 different locations, last locations got it connected)
Went into UBreakIFix (as directed by Samsung support) for help and they were clueless this watch exists
Spent oodles of time on Samsung Tech support
Tweeted and DM'd Samsung Support with no real help there
Please do not suggest upgrading the watch as I have had this one connected but it disconnected somehow.
Please don't suggest connecting it to another S10 phone as a S10+ owner has it connected to his watch.
And no, I did not consider rooting it it nor using Kies (if it's even possible)
Thank you for any help/thoughts you can provide.
PS - it was last used on a Note 5 and all of the warthes worked on the Note 5 for over 2 years.
The SM V700 is seen by the bluetooth app and the Gear app but times out connecting to the phone.

I have just bought a gear 2 neo smartwatch and cannot get it connected with my phone. I have a samsung galaxy s2 model # sght989d. The phone is running cyanogenmod 11 (4.4.3). The watch will pair with my phone and receive calls no problem however I cannot get it initialized to even use it as a clock lol. All I see when I turn on the watch is "To Connect your Gear, first download Gear Manager via Samsung Apps on you're mobile device" with an option to show a preview video or hit next. I have tried multiple version of gear manager and got the phone to pair no problem however it is not an available device. I understand that it will never fully work with my phone due to how old it is and its lacking a bunch of features. I just want to use the basic features and have the time on my wrist is this possible.
Thank You :good:

Have you tried this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862
ı was using gear s2 classic with xperia compact z5 nearly one year. Today s2 opened as usual but never connected. Just cleared all the apk in my phone and reset to fab setting my s2 it never connected. when i opened gear app in my phone to look the gear market i saw the "not supporting gear"...
is there any for the same problem?? gear s2 get stuck on the connection setting anim and does not pair...support center did not answered yet...
Using Nougat? yes I had the same issue - used flash tool to return to MM and it works fine
I'm using an S3 Classic and thinking of getting a Frontier as well (wanted a Tag Connected Modular 45 but unimpressed with its battery and lack of speaker... Oh and the price). Presumably I can connect both to the Gear app on my Note7 but will both have full functionality and all apps and will it just be a case of selecting the watch I want to use in the Gear app, switching whenever. Anyone done it?
I have the S3 Frontier LTE and im thinking of getting the classic. Interested to know if 2 watches will work
I'll let you know later. My Frontier should arrive today!
I can confirm that BOTH watches work perfectly. Apps can be installed on both (paid apps work without having to pay a second time). There's a drop down to allow you to select which watch you want to connect to. When selecting the new watch the other one disconnects immediately and the second one connects within a few seconds. There's an automatic connection option which is supposed to connect to the watch being worn but haven't got that to work yet. Maybe it takes a bit of time. So pleased at how easy it is to swap watches.
Further information. There was a software update for the Frontier which I installed. Now, the auto switching works perfectly. Both watches turned on and the phone connects to whichever one you wear. Take the connected watch off, put on the other and hey presto, drops the original connection and connects to the one you are now wearing. Perfect.
This nolonger works. The gear app will prompt you to reset the watch when switching watches. Reset will cause you to lose your downloaded apps, your cards in Samsung Pay and your third party watch faces (like the ones from the watch maker app).
Works for me every time with no issues other than I have to set up Samsung Pay each time.
Correction. Just swooped from Frontier to Classic and back to Frontier (simply by taking one off my wrist and putting the other on) and Samsung Pay still active. So no issues at all.
Hi peeps
I want to get a gear S3 but I already have a Gearfit 2.
I want to use the Gearfit 2 for work and the S3 for and out and about.
One of the concerns I have is I also want to be able to track some steps at work and when I get home use the other watch and continue to count steps from where I was on the other one, like how fitbit do it.
Can that be done?
I just got this watch yesterday and I am trying to set up Samsung Pay on it. As far as I know it is the US Version unless the Amazon seller lied. I am in the USA with a Galaxy Note 4 (6.0.1) paired, and when I turn on NFC in connections on the watch, and go to tap and pay, it says "no installed payment apps." I have tried installing Samsung Pay for Gear apks from online that all gave me the error "Unable to continue using Samsung Pay. Your gear may not be supported." Is there any way that anyone knows to get this working? Holding down the back button on the watch does nothing. I have checked for updates within the Gear app and it says I am up to date, yet there is no "Samsung Pay" section in the settings side of my Gear Manager app.
From Gear App itself:
Samsung Gear App Version: 2.2.17022862
Gear S Plugin Version: 2.2.03.17051161
From the Gear:
Tizen 2.3.2.2
Software R732...EQC1
Knox 2.0
From phone's app manager:
Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.41_170404
SASystemProviders 2.3.99
Are there other application dependencies that I may need to update? When I was setting up the watch it seemed to have trouble so I had to update everything from apk's online, also I had a Gear 2 Neo before this.
The SPay versions I tried were 1.2 and 1.4 and I tried installing the SPay Framework 2.7
The Samsung Pay app doesn't show up in the Google Play Store or Galaxy Store.
I've been reading the forums and it appears as though SPay got off to a rocky start for Gear S2, is it still like that?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In my Gear S2 I did not need to install any APK. Just click on the "Samsung Pay" option in the Gear app for smartphone and it automatically downloaded the applications and installed them automatically.
I have a Gear S2 3G, Tizen 2.3.2.1 and I live in Brazil and I did not have any problems.

I'm not sure if I was unclear, but I said I do not have that section in my Gear app for some reason.

No it should be all US but I would like to verify with the serial number or something but I don't know how
Don't know if this is resolved, but it could be that the SPay only works when connected to an SPay compatible phone. I have been using it since the Note5 (now have an S8) with no issues, other than the rocky start of setting up cards. There is a separate app in the galaxy store that updates the gear SPay and phone SPay. Everytime there is an update to SPay, I get a download for my gear and a download for my phone. If you can't find it in the galaxy store, it may be because the phone is not supported.

See that's what I thought, but that was when I had my Galaxy Note 4. Now I've upgraded to a Galaxy S8+ (unlocked USA version) so I should have no issues. Maybe resetting the Gear S2 in some way will fix it, I'll have to try. It did do a "light reset" when I connected it to my new phone. Thanks for the input though!
UPDATE
A factory reset did not fix the issue. Still unresolved
Hi I have same issue gear s2 classic pairred with s8 but i haven't got Samsung pay beta on gear manager either did you get it resolved ?

No I contacted samsung support and they had no clue, I'm thinking they must have given me the international version on Amazon
I have US Gear S2 Classic SM-R732. FW R732XXU2EQH1, Tizen 2.3.2.2.
Samsung pay works fine. Both with Note 4, Note 5 and Note 8. In fact it also works without phone present, just tap and pay just wearing your watch (and some clothes ?)
Activation of Samsung Pay is to long press top button... Doing so for the first time it asks you to do necessary steps to activate Samsung Pay... then add cards... ready.
Suggest to try this first!
NFC of phone is not playing a part at all.
Samsung Pay also worked with two previous FW versions.

Yes the issue here is that long pressing the button does not open anything, I'm on the same firmware version.
Tizen version nor Model Name nor Firmware Version nor CSC Version is the "magic" identification part...
It is simple active CSC/ Sales Code on device... Factory written... and hidden for normal End User... no idea why...
Example:
Code:
DBT for Germany
XAR for US
You could identify your active Sales Code via Tool SDB for instance... alternate way is to check few files from Gear S Plugin... on Android handset...
In THEORY it is possible to force SPay... but dangerous sideeffects possible...
Example for 1 forced way to enable SPay... look at Video:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73982855&postcount=213
Here you can see, how 1 user checked his active CSC... Sales Code... few Screenshots visible... maybe then more clear...:

same problem here
I have a S2 Sport and a Galaxy S7 both bought in the U.S but I live in Brazil.
Samsung pay works fine on the S7, but doesnt show up on gear manager.
Long pressing the back button on the gear does nothing.
i found an apk "Samsung pay for gear plugin" online and installed it, but when I opened said my gear was not found or not compatible
and no problems with pairing? I can't pair my watch with 10lite. In the last stage of pairing it remains endless. I tried with newest and older galaxy wear app+watch plugin, but allways the same. On my other phones (Note 3 and Xiaomi) no problems.
Could root or open bootloader be the problem?
Solution found in: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...nd-probably-other-samsung-weareables.3931738/
and in
[GUIDE] Stock FW: rooted, debloated, storage encryption, G-Pay, S-Health, Wearable
(used link2 for getting samsung health to work, perhaps this would also work for gear, but i had paired my watch with link 1 first.)
I have the 46mm version and no problem connecting what so ever. my phone is unrooted though.
I faced a problem when I migrated from my old S8 to the N10L which was that the watch was locked to my Samsung account and that I had to have the same Samsung account that was on the S8 logged in to on the N10L but that was it.
Thanks for your feedback. I also have the 46mm, and i use the same samsung account on all my phones. Also i tried to pair with and without internet-connection with no success. So maybe it has to do with root.
Perhaps i will try again after receiving upgrade to Android 11 before rooting that.
Hello
I have an active watch 2 and a watch 3 and I had no problem pairing them with my Note 10 Lite.
thank you, is your lite rooted?
No, I don't really see the point anymore.
