Does the wearable app not work with watches if you're rooted? I'm on a snapdragon and it links up just fine with my earbud live but it won't link up with my galaxy watch

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...
Hi all,
I'm looking at buying my first smart watch and the gear s2 seems to tick all the boxes for me. However, I've come across the gear app and plugin app in the play store and the reviews are terrible, with users bringing up issues with connectivity dropouts and the like.
I just wondered on your experiences on non-samsung phones with the S2?
(I'm on Nexus 6P, non rooted, 7.1.1)
Cheers!

I have a GS2 Classic paired to a Moto Droid Turbo 2. Generally, no problems.
Occasional disconnects after upgrading to Nougat, but less than one/week.

There are few differences in features available on the watch when using Samsung phone vs other brands. I know this first hand because I switched from a LG to a Samsung. But don't take my word for it, here's a chart that highlights the differences.

Fine on xperia Z5C
All go fine on p9 lite. No issues and good connectivity.
However you can pair with all Android (4.3+) and at least 1.5GB of RAM. I read that you can pair the watch to smartphones with 1GB of RAM, but you have to modify Samsung Manager apk, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/pair-gear-s2-moto-g-t3323385.
Yes you can use it with smartphone that has 1GB of RAM, but you need to use a modified Samsung Gear app.
Modified Samsung Gear app is available on my blog, I will try to update it as frequently as possible.

First experience I connect Gear S2 to Sony Xperia Z3 compact. Connection without problem but Gear app crashed. I solve it by installing older version of Gear app from APK mirror ( app from april 2016). It have no limitation. It was probably caused by ROOT.
Next I connect it to Moto Z play. No problem at all.
using non samsung phones we lost all the paid apps, right?
That s*cks :/

App purchases are tied to your Samsung account, not the device. They only need be purchased once. Devices can be changed at will.
Hey all! Just found some of the Gear Sport watches on the Galaxy App store. I'm not sure if this will be available for the Gear S2 or S3 variants without Tizen 3.0.0.1. and judging by my reddit thread, they aren't available on non Samsung devices.
For those who are interested, the links are below.

Are you using a Samsung device and is your watch on Tizen 3?
Do you have to be using a samsung device as I can't seem to find them on my pixel, is there a way round this?
Looking to pick up a Pixel 2 in the next couple days wondering is anyone has any feedback on how the fitness tracking works on Pixel. Is Samsung Health app even supported on other devices.

I have Gear S2 and it works great with Pixel 2. All you need to download is Gear App and SHealth from play store. There are 2 other apps that automatically install once you pair the watch

Thanks for clearing that up.
Got the s3 frontier and pixel2, everything works perfectly
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

I can't get the gear wear app to install. Not compatible in play store and when I install from apk mirror keeps freezing. I'm trying to use gear S3 watch. Worked fine on op6t. Any help appreciated
