Hi,
Is there anything I need to worry about saving from the built-in apps on the Gear S3 before I trade it in, or is everything on my connected phone?
Thanks!!

Just got my Note Edge yesterday and I love it. But I can't get it to work with my Gear S watch? Very frustrating and I can't figure it out unless they just aren't compatible. Can anyone help?
I have a Note Edge paired with the Gear S that works great. I can use the Gear S via Bluetooth or cell. When you said that you just got the Edge, it makes me think that this Gear was set up with another phone prior to the Edge. If so, you'd have to factory reset the Gear.
My Gear Neo 2 is really finicky with the Edge. I think it is the flakey bluetooth on the entire Note 4 line. Every once in a while (maybe twice a week or more), I have to restart the watch to get it to talk to the phone again. I am totally awaiting the official Lollipop update for my Verizon variant as there are a large number of bluetooth changes in it. I am getting a bit concerned that Lollipop doesn't appear to be on the immediate radar for Verizon now that the S6 is out there
Anyway, I would try and factory reset the watch and start the connection process over. A bit inconvenient but I bet it will work.
i've got both and they're work very well. the bluetooth connection is stable and the reconnection after a disconnect is very fast. i see no trouble

Hello All,
Im hoping I can get some assistance with connecting my Samsung Gear 2 Neo with my phone. I am running Liquid Smooth 4.4.4 and I can get it paired to the phone and even get the phone calls to come thru on the watch, but I cannot get them to connect so the watch is stuck on the screen that explains how to connect the watch to the phone. Are there any tricks, tips, or anything I need to know to use a smart watch with this phone?
Ultimate Question:
Can anyone here say they've used two Samsung Gear S2/3 watches with the same phone, and been able to register both of them with the same Samsung Pay account and same bank credit-card account?
Background:
I've had Samsung Pay on my Gear S2 watch since it has been available, and it works better than I expected it to. It is obviously limited to NFC payment terminals, as the S2 has no Magnetic Secure Transmission device.
Enter the Gear S3, now with MST payment technology.
Linked it to my phone with zero issues entered my credit-card information, and was validated on Samsung Pay in less than ten minutes on the Gear S3.
At this point, my Gear S2 and the new Gear S3 are both enabled as payment devices using the same credit-card.
Take off the S3, put on the S2. Allow a few seconds for the Gear Manager to switch to the new watch. Press and hold the Samsung Pay button on the S2 and note that it is telling me that the card has been removed from my device and asks me if I'd like to add one at this time.
WTF? I go ahead and re-add the S2, call the bank, yadda yadda, and the S2 is back with my Visa enabled on it.
Yep. Now pick up the S3, and put down the S2. Allow a few seconds for the Gear Manager to switch to the new watch. Press and hold the Samsung Pay button on the S3 and note that it is telling me that the card has been removed from my device and asks me if I'd like to add one at this time.
100% reproducible.
I did this back-and-forth with the bank about 10 times last night, before someone there transferred me to the manager who asked if I could maybe spread out my token-requests over a few days.
Meanwhile my wife's S2 with Samsung Pay and the same card account is not affected by this at all - it seems that you're only allowed one Gear S watch at a time in which to have your Samsung Pay information stored, if they share a common phone. Authorize one, and as soon as you switch to the other it will de-authorize the card on that device. The bank assures me they are not doing this on their end.
My ultimate solution at this time is to have done a light-reset on my S2, powered it down, and put it on the charger until this can get straightened out. After doing that, I could get my card re-authorized on the S3 and it has been showing active for several hours now

Hello…
I know it' isn't an Android phone : ) any help will be appreciated…I have an S3 connected to my iPhone but then when I open the gear app it’s isn’t detecting it? Attached SC
*iPhone, gear app and S3 are all up to date
Thanks
Reset the watch for new phone (in watch setting), erase BT connection in phone totally close the Gear app on phone and retry.
Just put my Gear S2 from my Galaxy S5 to my iPhone SE.
I have done that already and it seems okay for now, will the S3 drain it's battery more with iPhones vs Android because I turn off bunsh of stuff like HR, GPS...etc and I may make it 1 day with a single charge? I see other only are getting 2-3days with a single charge
Thanks
Anyone have concrete evidence of the Gear S2 or Gear S2 Classic being charged by the new Galaxy S10? Key point being "concrete evidence" that means you have witnessed it or have a link to an online resource showing they did it. Please don't respond with wishes or theories.
I don't think it will work. Like I cannot charge my Gear S2 Classic on the wireless charging pad of my Note 8. The wireless charging of Gear S2 seems to be a different system/protocol as with the phones, so guess you will not get any positive proof...
I have tried my s2 classic on the back of my s10.
I does show as charging for a few seconds, then stops, and the phone defaults back to charging off.
I tried with my Gear S2 but the strap is not flexible enough to lay it flat on the phone. However, I was able to charge my iPhone X with my S10+.
I tried it as well and it does not work. Samsung screwed the S2 owners when it came to charging. There are no chargers that work with an S2 that don't have that stupid bulky form factor of the stock charger.
I have the same exact issue. It must be a different standard (not Qi). Charges for a few seconds then stops. The watch then displays a "Hello" message. Bummer, especially since my S2 battery must be getting weak. It rarely lasts a whole day now when it used to go at least a day and a half easily.
Don't work. I have a gear S2 and S10 and I am very dissapointed because I only would use the S10 charge with the clock. Clearly is a strategy of Samsung to force to buy a newer clock (S3 and up)

Your phone does not have problems. The video clearly shows that wireless power share does not work with the Gear S2. The Gear S2 does not work with any wireless charger other than the Samsung unit, or direct knockoffs of the Samsung unit.
