Anybody successfully setup and configure Gear 2 with Galaxy Note 8.0 3G (GT-N51000)(4.2.2)?
I've bought Gear 2 SuperFixer and installed on my Note 8.0, I can pair with Gear 2 and also able to establish the Bluetooth connection. I can sync the contacts, call logs and call out form Gear 2. But in the Gear Manager, it only shown paired and I can't connect it. so I can't do or configure anything. Seems like notification or message also not working.

No matter if the watch is ist on or off. Different is if the watch never been paired before . than the app closed after conecting with the clock while the clock configurate itsself- without finishing the konfiruration.
conecting with a samsung galaxy phone works.

Phone :Xiaomi Mi4 Android 6.0.1
Rom Miui 8- Multirom 6.9.1 Beta
Can anyone help or had a gear s2 conected with a xiaomi mi4- maybe with a different rom?

kind regards and sorry for my poor englisch.

App: gear s Plugin is installed
By the way: i bought a spanish gears2- after the konfiguration of the clock ,will the language then change in my language?
Hey all, thanks in advance for any responses. Trying to pair Gear S3 Frontier with Nokia 6, but it never connects. I have tried the non-samsung phone Gear Manager from the Samsung website, but when I attempt to setup it sees the watch but never actually connects. Any ideas? Not a huge issue as I am only using this phone temporarily, but I hate not having functionality between the watch and the phone.
In case it matters for whatever reason, it is the LTE version of the watch.
Thanks!

When it gets to the screen to pair the two devices (should say "refer to phone to complete setup" or something similar on the gear, and have the loading circle on the phone) without closing the gear app, open bluetooth then click on the Gear in the bluetooth devices menu. Should connect and complete the setup. For some reason the connection to the gear disconnects midway through setup and doesnt attempt to reconnect, so you have to do it manually. After that there shouldnt be any issue with the gears connection to the phone.
Found this out while mucking around with phone and gear in bed one morning.

It worked for Nokia 5 as well
Thank you
Worked on my Nokia too but the problem seems to be that the watch and the phone wont reconnect automatically if the connection breaks. I need to go to Settings - Bluetooth and tap the Gear S3 row so it will connect.
Anyone else facing the same?
Nokia 6 - Gear S3 Frontier Dutch
Also my Dutch Gear S3 Frontier wont connect to my Nokia 6.

Worked a treat on my temporary Nokia 5

Gear S3 does not connect with my OPPO R& plus as well! On the application it says not compatible!! Any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
As ragegamr said - WHEN THE SAMSUNG GEAR APP DISPLAYS THE SPINNING GALAXY TRYING TO PAIR WITH THE WATCH AND THE WATCH SAYS CHECK YOUR PHONE TO COMPLETE THE SETUP GO TO YOUR PHONE'S SETTINGS - BLUETOOTH - AND CLICK ON THE GEAR S3 TO CONNECT TO IT. THEN GO BACK TO THE GEAR APP.

That works around the set-up issue but the symptom is actually due to a larger issue of the Gear S3 and the phone never automatically connecting.
I used to have a Samsung S8+ and never had issues with connectivity.
I could leave my phone on my desk, walk to the other side of the building, hear the watch disconnect then walk back and hear it connect automatically. Seamless - as it should be.
Now on my Nokia 8 I need to manually go into Bluetooth and connect to the watch every time the phone loses connectivity to it. This is ridiculous.
Further, when connecting to my car stereo, the phone calls no longer go to the car.
It looks like Nokia might need to do something to fix the Bluetooth problems at the driver or firmware level.
Well with my Nokia 8 sirocco the gear s3 fails to connect even when tapping manually. Once i tap on Gear s3 it says connecting, it shows connected for 1 second and again disconnects. Any help?

I am trying on nokia 6 2017 and still does not work.
Thank you so much!
This device in not compatible with Gear s3 .
Hello there,
I recently had a chat with Samsung support and they mentioned that only few devices are support with their watches.
check on Samsung website >>/global/galaxy/gear-s3/device-compatibility/
[Jaybee(Agent):11:19:30] Basing from mt resources the Nokia 6 cannot be seen as one of the compatible device.
[(Customer):11:21:48] So, developers need to make a patch for it ?
[Jaybee(Agent):11:22:31] It is not actually an error on Samsung side since the device is made for other devices.
[Jaybee(Agent):11:23:31] One thing that I can think off is that by the time the Gear S3 was released the Nokia 6 has not been manufactured and I believe this was the first Android device of Nokia.
[(Customer):11:24:06] Yeah, I believe so..
[(Customer):11:24:41] Is that any future for nokia to get possible connection with Gear s3
[Jaybee(Agent):11:26:46] We are actually unable to tell if in the future that the Gear S3 will be compatible with the Nokia.
[Jaybee(Agent):11:27:28] We hope that would happen since we definitely want to make sure that our products can be connected to any brands.
Another thing you can do is : go into gear s app> settings> gear connection (off) try to make it on. (if you are lucky)
I wish I had my HTC one M8

Did you had any luck with this? Because I am having exactly the same issue?
easy solution
Activate Developer Mode in your phone. In Developer options find Bluetooth AVRCP Version click on it and change it to 1.3 (mine was set to 1.4 as default) restart your phone and connect it again(you might to reinstall and unpaired your Gear S3). works on my Nokia X6 2018 no problems. Cheers from Scotland ps let me know guys if it works for you (probably its same problem and solution for all android phones which have connection problems with Gear smart watches...)

Mine is Nokia X6(2018) China version. I tried your ways to connect my gear s3 but it didn't work. It's not work for my phone. Thank you all the same.
Hi
I have a Huawei Honor 6X, and when I try to download the Samsung Gear app, it says it is not compatible with my phone. How can I connect the phone with the watch without the app? I manually turned on bluetooth on the watch and it says it is visible, but the watch does not appear as a device in Android Wear or in the phone's bluetooth settings. The phone is not in airplane mode. Can I use this watch connected to my phone? Or am I stuck with Standalone mode only?
Hey guys,
So I have a Gear S3 Classic and a Galzxy Note 9 on Pie OS and I'm running through a connectivity issue every once in a while.
Basically if I don't connect my watch to my phone in a day or two, the next time I try to connect it it gets stuck on the finishing pairing screen on Galaxy Wearable, if I try to connect it from the Bluetooth settings, it says connected for calls except that it won't show it as connected on the companion app.
Also when I clear data/cache of the companion app it connects instantly but it tells me that I have to reset the watch as you can see on the screenshot. I can still fully use my Gear S3 even with that error message but I can't use the Galaxy Wearable app. So each two or threee days I have to reset my watch to keep using the Wearable app correctly.
Any ideas as to why this keeps happening? I only have this issue with my Gear S3 all the other Bluetooth equipements that I use connect just fine.
Any help is appreciated.
