So there are different options out there now.
Any suggestions on what the cheapest way would be to have a device that pairs with the Galaxy Gear and provides notifications/calendar/etc via Gear Manager?
I have an iPhone, but I wouldn't mind having something to carry around that will pair with my gear.

I bought this HDTV adapter on ebay that says it works for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 which it does. Unfortunately it does not work on my Sprint Galaxy s3.
I thought they used the same adapter. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Very strange, I thought they were the same as well.

Have you tried on a different s3 or with a different cable?
I have only tried with 1 gs3 but differ cords. Cant figure out why it works with my sprint note2 but not my sprint gs3. I even did a factory reset on my gs3
Sgs3 uses a 6 pin adapter the note 2 uses 8pin physical size is same just more pins inside
Thanks for the info and I believe you from experience but why do all blogs say it fits both. It even says galaxy s3 on the adapter box

I would not recommend it. I really think this is a fake from china. They try and make it look real but i don't believe its real. It feels way to cheap!
I know I have 2 that have worked on my previous phones... but cant get them to work on the note 2

Another question -
Can you use the Gear as just a watch. If I chose to use a my N5 but wore the gear just as a watch - Can this be done?

Because I have both phones - So is it possible?

No. You asked if it was possible to use the Gear on its own.....And yes, it will only serve a watch though.
Yes, you can use your Gear with your N5 but not with all the functions.

Yes, you can use the gear just as a watch. Due to the fact that it runs android and you can side-load I can see that become the most powerful feature in itself compared to other watches.

The distance is not as good as my earlier Sony Smartwatch but I found centrally locating the phone works now. I was expecting a lower range though due to the difference of Bluetooth standards; the Sony is a BT 3 device compared to the Gear which is a BT 4. Also, even though the watch does work over the range, S Voice isn't that good and you can hear garbled up conversations.
I found this. Don't know what to think

Wow is right! Gear 3 with its own SIM! I wonder if it's a stand alone?
That's actually pretty cool. Looking forward to more news about it.
How would you hear your conversation? Up and down would be more like a radio.

I would hope via bluetooth headpiece or headphones, as the Gear 2 is going to pair with these to play music from its new standalone mp3 player. I would want one for sure, and already am highly excited to get my Gear 2, so a independent phone version would be a huge step up for things like cycling and jogging/walking. Battery life might be an issue of course, and everyone always wants things smaller, but the Gear 1 is a perfect size for me.
This would be great but the only problem would be battery life and usability with such a small screen. An idea for an accessory would be a screen that could pair with the device somehow. Basically reverse the roles. Watch is the main device with a Bluetooth screen that you can keep in your pocket or something. Just an idea...

Exactly like the title says. Someone just gave me their Samsung Gear (SM-V700) and I was trying to figure out a way to pair it with a Galaxy S7 edge with full feature compatibility. I already came across this thread that claims to allow it to pair with almost any phone and I will turn to that if nothing else works but I would very much like to know what my options are. Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have a S7 Edge and a Gear S only it is a SM-R750 since the day before yesterday and had / have no problems. I don't know what the difference is between these watches. I can use it via bluetooth and via its own sim and via bluetooth to receive the messages from the phone. I am very happy with it. It is all arranged true the program Gear.
What are you specified problems ? Maybe i still can help.

So when I got my Galaxy S7 I also got a Gear VR. I've recently upgraded to an S8+. I see that I can order a part to swap out the micro USB for a USB C connector. Great! So I order it. I'm happy that it came in the mail. No instructions - no big deal. I find instructions using our trusty friend Google. The instructions don't match the Gear VR I have. I can't swap the connector out. Doing some more searching I find there are different models of Gear VR. Mine is apparently the older model that doesn't have a swappable connector.
Oh well. Maybe I'll take the damn thing to the shooting range. We'll see how it holds up to a round of .500 Smith and Wesson magnum...

I am guessing that you have purchased the white version of the Gear VR. Which doesn't come with a swapable USB connector

That is a shame. I didn't even think that the SGS7 will fit in the white Gear VR.

Yeah it fit the S7 and S7 Edge fine.

No. Just a bit bigger. Smith and Wesson 500 magnum.
well, there is always the "dremel" and a hack it till it works? Or ebay? Not that you would get the equivelent of the "fun factor" of just using it for target practice, but there are always alternatives to consider.
Buy a headset used, Ebay always has them.
Ps. I have a Sig P238 and a Henry survival rifle (AR 7) :good:
I have a black vr headset, and got the side, swapped the usb_C off a box at a tech store but it doesn't fit the headset I have, the little tab prevented it from slipping onto the connection. So I skipped it and it looks like it should all be working right, but Alas... No go. Phone doesn't seem to register it's been connected into the headset...
Any thoughts guys?
Forget the dremel....use the Magnum!
FWIW I didn't blast it to smithereens with my hand canon. I gave it to a guy at work to give to his wife. She has an S7.
