So I've got the galaxy gear and I happen to have 2 phones. A galaxy s3 and an ace 2. With the galaxy s3 is no problem but I have a foreign number so I cannot use it in this country for texting, so I use in that case the ace 2. The problem with the ace 2 is that it originally runs android 4.1.2 or something like that but I managed to root it and get kitkat 4.4.4-
Now the newest problem is that i cannot pair it with my rooted samsung and I would really like to! I want to keep tizen as the running OS on my gear but be able to do everything i do on my s3... how is this possible?

Hey there, I purchased this phone a few months ago and since galaxy gear was launched I was wondering if I could use it as where I live it's common to see phones being stolen when somebody sees you are using the phone while driving. However according to what I found the galaxy great won't be compatible with my phone. So is there another smart watch compatible with our phone? thanks in advance

I don't see why Pebble wouldn't work:

as far as i know it could work with gear and even with sony smartwartches....
Actually my friend said the samsung gear would work on any samsung galaxy phones. But Samsung says its intended just for the Note 3.

You need a TW-based ROM.

Hi guys! I have Samsung galaxy s3 mini and i want to buy samsung gear. Can i pair this with my s3 mini? On s3 mini i have android 4.1.2 (i can flash/root it) and i haven't got nfc. On this phone i have Gear Manager. Can i pair this devices or i must buy smarwatch 2?
You should already be at least on Android 4.3. And without Nfc you can forget it.
I won a Galaxy Gear (SM-V700, Tizen updated) Father's Day gift.
In order to synchronize in best way (due the official incompability with others brands), I bought a used Galaxy S3 (Android 4.3).
I am not able to do the two devices to communicate.
Can anyone help me with any tips? Firmaware, updates, etc.. to each devices...
I format and restart both devices.
Grateful to all

Hi,
Today I bought the latest samsung smartwatch R800. Apparently this watch is not compatible with my galaxy tab S2 (T819). I called Samsung support but they couldn't help and told me I have to use a phone. Is there a way to make it work on this tab? If not it's going back to the shop because it's no use for me if can't link to the tablet. Strange Samsung even makes products that are not compatible with their own devices!

I'm wondering that too. It's been 2 years for you, and how did it go??? I'm switching to an old Tab S2 8.0 and my watch isn't connecting.
