hey i recently bought a galaxy watch 4 classic, i paired it with my android phone.
but i reset it as im lending it to a friend, but my friend already bought his and now i wanted to connect it back to my phone.
after pairing it back to my phone but it says "can't pair with galaxy watch 4 classic to connect to a new phone you need to reset your watch first, which will wipe all the data."
i reset it again thinking it will just connect just like when i first bought it, but then i got stuck in pairing, can somebody teach me how to do this reset by what the watch said?

dear..that`s impossiable..try anther way..
The question if one day I'll replace my Phone to new one (also Samsung), how can I connect to new Phone without lose Gear information ?
Alternative question how to move Gear information from old Phone to new Phone?
Can GALAXY Apps ( "Purchased") copy also Gear 2 information ?
I saw an answer here, not sure if won't ask Gear reset:

Phone with new ROM (after full wipe) is kinda like new phone..
So if it won't ask Gear Reset, it can be an answer " How to connect Gear 2 with another device without reset".
I mean , if another device with same gmail/samsung account, user can load on another device "Purchased"
apps and no Gear Reset ?
Alternative way:
I have updated my S4 ROM (rooted) few times with Full Wipe.
I used Titanium backup and restored just download apps and also all gear apps.
I got many gear errors, so I re installed "Gear Manager", but somehow data kept and it didn't ask
for Gear Reset.
So maybe solution for "How to connect Gear 2 with another device without reset" is to copy Titanium
Backup (just Gear stuff) to other device and restore , just make sure gmail/samsung account are same..

To answer this question for you, if you are using the same account as the account you used to purchase the app with, it should be available to download on your other your other Samsung devices you may be using. So long as you login to the Galaxy App store using the same account as you did to purchase it.

Some ideas:
https://review.tizen.org/git/?p=fra...61208257ea00aa5c;hb=refs/heads/tizen_2.3#l468
That assignment is left uncommented in the bt-service the gear2 ships with.
EDIT: But we can patch it out!
This is the original bt-service file in my NE5 firmware:
22151f97a2b2fcd8459f0f195aae90ae /usr/bin/bt-service
Now get a hexeditor and patch 16-bit instruction at 0x20364 with a NOP, aka 0xBF00.
That is, change byte 0x20364 with a 00, and byte 0x20365 with a BF.
Using cmp to check the changes:
Code:
$ cmp -l bt-service.orig bt-service.new
131941 161 0
131942 321 277
Note that if you replace the file you will need to ensure the right permissions and Smack labels are set correctly. I.e.
Code:
chsmack -e bt-service -a bt-service /usr/bin/bt-service
With this, I can pair as many devices I want with the Gear. Note I do not use Gear Manager, maybe it gets crazy about this.
I've been trying to replace many of the com.samsung.* stuff with the Tizen 2.3 org.tizen.* stuff but it quickly becomes a mess. That patch is much cleaner...

I have no clue what you meant a I've with all that and how but I need to know, does that mean you found a way to pair the watch and not lose the faces?
Backup
Q: How do I back up data stored on Gear Fit2 Pro?
A: Back up your Gear’s data on your connected mobile device.
1. On your mobile device, open the Apps screen and tap Samsung Gear.
2. Tap SETTINGS and select About Gear.
3. Tap Back up and restore.
4. Tap Back up data. The data will be saved in Samsung Cloud.
If you previously backed up your Gear data, you can restore it to your Gear now.
This may take some time depending on the size of the files.
· Music saved on the Gear will not be backed up.
· Health management apps data will be automatically saved on the connected mobile device’s
Samsung Health app.
Hi, i can't connect my gear 2 to Android 8.1 non Samsung the Bluetooth pair but de wearmanager don't detect the watch.

Hello.
I wonder if it is possible to add another phone to Gear S2? Because when you do a reset on the phone or purchasing another phone and want to connect it does not accept. Can anyone help?

You have to factory reset the watch I believe.

you can add another phone. Just disconnect the watch from the previous phone. INstall the Gear app on the new phone (Android) and make a Bluetooth connection between the new phone and the watch. If the connection is made you have to open the gear app on the new phone and connect it (right hand side top of the screen). In my case did the watch do a (light) reset inbetween. This does not matter. It connects nicely and will remain connected to the new phone.
Is there anyway to completely back up the Gear S2 Bluetooth only version?
I started out with this watch using a Note5 phone. Since I've owned this watch, I've had to switch phones 5 different times between the Note5, Note7 and S7 Edge. Each time I switched phones, in order to pair the watch to the phone, I had to do a light reset, which takes off all apps and watch faces. I'm able to re-download and install all the apps and faces, but it's a major PITA. Especially because I have 20 custom watch faces that I've designed, which means I need to go into the Gear watch designer program on my computer, set my watch to debug mode, connect it to WiFi, then load all 20 of my own faces 1 by 1.
This whole process takes a good hour or so, and drains the battery fast.
Any way I can do a complete backup and restore (quickly) so that all of my watch faces and such will reappear?
I was also in the situation as you mentioned and was jumping from phone to phone for couple of weeks and here is what I noticed.
1) If I set up my watch with my Note 5, the gear manager app does backup my settings and such. Then If I do light reset and connected to exactly the same phone, then upon connect it will restore my settings back onto the watch.
2) If I do light reset and try to pair my watch with another Android phone, then it doesn't restore anything and I am forced to customize the settings again and set everything up.
I am thinking that the backup/restore file is left on the phone itself somewhere in the folder. I didn't look for it, but it would be beneficial to get that file and the copy it over to another phone - if my theory is correct.
Anyone got an answer to this ? Trying to save 40+ Custom watchfaces from Galaxy Watch 3 ...

I initially had the same problem too and I couldn't solve it at first. It was a pain before I was able to connect to my rooted Nexus 6p.
What I did was made sure that all permissions of the Samsung Gear app on the phone are all turned on. Then I just setup the Gear S3 as as standalone/offline mode (do not connect it to the phone yet), then once you are done with the initial setup - I had to do a factory reset again (From Settings > Gear info > Reset Gear - yup you heard it right, factory reset it again). After the factory reset, make sure you DO NOT connect to the phone via Gear S3. Set it up as Standalone/offline mode again, then connect to WIFI - run an UPDATE on the watch, then open your Gear app in the phone then try to connect. I'm not sure if this method will work for you but it did for me.
