Tizen failure!!!!!

Updated my gear 1 to tizen and also my note 8 Ltd to 4.2.2 using the official Germany dom. ...
Watch pairs with phone both showing code but then......nothing.......tries to connect to watch and fails.....
am I missing something
please help cos right now I hate Samsung so much for making this gear not work

I had that happen while trying to flash a custom recovery and failing which resulting in the watch hard resetting itself. My phone would recognize and pair with the watch but it would go in an endless connecting spree. The solution is to go into your Gear manager and gear plugin app info on the phone or tablet and just clear the data. Or you could just uninstall/reinstall the app and it should do the trick.

Galaxy Gear Connect to gear manager bypass?

So I went back to Null Rom 23 from Tizen because I got an Iphone 6 and wanted to at least use the watch with it somehow or other. This is probably a real dumb question(Most of mine are) but how Do I get past the screen at boot up where it is looking for a Samsung Phone with gear manager on it> I saw in a Video from "didi" I believe where his gear watch boots straight to the home screen without the annoying "play screen" showing how to connect watch to gear manager. Thank you all very much for answering my stupid questions... I did try and search forums for an answer but no luck. - DjSkipEllis

I try it before to connect my GG with iphone via bluetooth and it works.
But the problem is u can use it as a phone only not fully sync as u use samsung phone
and now im still try to figure it out how to fully sync it.

loosing the plot!

Hi, bought a gear 1 cheap £45, paired it with my Efox e5s and it worked ok, notifications didn't work but I had it rooted and Null rom installed, Some how i lost the connection and whatever i do it will not connect through the manager but it will Bluetooth pair with phone, im locked out now after a reset and tizen update the gear wants to be Paired before i can even use it as a watch or enable usb debug.
Any help on this would be great,,thanks.

Cannot Get GearVR to Work on My S6, Black Screen Issue

Hello,
I just bought Gear VR today and I connected it to my Samsung Galaxy S6 (6.0.1). I have successfully installed Oculus software and downloaded some apps, however when I connect my phone to the VR headset, I only see the black screen. When I remove the phone from the headset, it says "Calibrating Gear VR..." after which an X appears in the corner, and doesn't allow me to do anything. I have to force restart my phone as it doesn't respond to any other function.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Samsung Gear VR services, Oculus Home etc. but it didn't help. I also did a factory reset for my phone, to no avail. I've also spent many hours looking for a solution, but nothing works for me.
I am not sure whether it's my phone or my Gear VR headset, but something is not right. It seems that my phone is unable to run Oculus Home (or whatever it's supposed to run) when I connect it to the headset. I hear that "connect sound", but then the screen goes black and I can only restart it by holding volume down and power buttons.
Could you please tell me what to do?
Thanks!

I've found a workaround, if anyone reads this.
I made it work, not as it's intended to work, but all functions are working and that's fine for me. I basically enabled developer mode for Gear VR service which allows Oculus apps to be run without the headset. Then I connected it to the headset, which is then recognized as a mouse, allowing you to use headset's controls and touchpad.

Sure!
First, I downloaded SideloadVR. You need to create an apk that has your device ID and install it. So go to Google Play Store, download the app and then follow instructions to build the apk. After you build it, download it and install in your device. Doing this will allow you to enter developer mode for Gear VR apps (developer mode = running VR apps without headset).
After you're done installing it, go to Settings -> Applications -> Applications Manager and look for Gear VR Service. Tap on Storage, then select Manage Storage option. You will see a few things in the new menu, and now you need to tap 6 times on VR Service Version and developer mode should be enabled.
When you do that, you can go to your Oculus app and Enter VR, and it should work. You can also run pretty much any other VR app (that's not intended for Gear VR) this way.
I am not sure if I explained it well, but please let me know if it worked for you. If not, I'll be glad to help you as much as I can.

This is good information, I used it to get mine going in my note4 which has been an endless struggle. Only problem I'm having now is my track pad won't work and my phone isn't saying mouse connected. Is there a way to enable the mouse function when I connect it?

I don't know if you know this, but when you connect your phone to Gear VR, the phone screen light is controlled by the light/proximity sensor built-in in Gear VR (between the lenses and above them) and not of phone. So the screen lights up only when you wear it or cover this sensor by hands or something.

Wifi notifications not working

I have an Active 2, Wifi version SM-R820 paired with a Huawei P40 pro. Remote connection in Galaxy Wearable is on and the samsung account is logged in.
But if connected to wifi only, as standalone, there are no notifications.
With BT everything is working almost fine, because sometimes I found the watch disconnected from BT, I have to open the Galaxy Wearable app and after it connects automatically.
Any ideas?

Problem solved.
I have to unckeck "manage automatically" from Settings - Battery - App launch the apps:
Galaxy wearable, Samsung accessory service, Galaxy active 2 plugin, Samsung Health.

I have a Galaxy watch 3 SM-R840 and when I connect it to wifi I can't download or update anything, I reset it to zero and it remains the same, any ideas please

What do you mean by "download or update anything"?
In remote connection mode you can only receive notifications and use the Find watch and phone functions.

That's the way it's been designed, I think. WiFi on the watch is only meant to connect to your phone "remotely", when Bluetooth connection fails. In the remote connection mode you only can receive notifications and use some basic stuff like Find my watch etc. Open your Galaxy Wearable app on your phone when the watch is connected through WiFi and you'll see most functionality is greyed out.

Solved, I tried it with another wifi network and it works perfect, thanks !!!!!
