Apparently they just released a non samsung gear manager exclusively for the S2. I can confirm that it doesnt work for me with the Gear one. I hoped they accidentally left some Gear 1 support in there, but no. It doesnt work. Then again, nothing samsung works on the Oneplus Two, so YMMV. Maybe it works for you guys.

Hello,
As other messages I ve read around, I ve been given a Samsung Gear 1 as present for Xmas. The problem is that I dont have a Samsung phone, I ve got a Sony Xperia S instead. After googling a lot, I have learnt you can make it work in many no Samsung android devices, but unfortunately I havent seen any example for my phone. I cant even activate it. When I connect both the phone and the Samsung gear, it seems they connect by bluetooth at first, but after a while the watch displays "bluetooth disconnect". Cant understand why... In short:
Does it worth to even try to make it work (if it is even possible) on my Xperia? What Samsung gear features am I going to lose without a Samsung phone including updating issues? (I have read you miss S-voice and weather..) I need to make up my mind whether keeping it or returning it.
Thank you very much in advance!
Hello!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace3 LTE (GT-S7275R) running on stock firmware and a Galaxy Gear 1. The gear was working perfect and suddenly the gear manager started to show the incompatibility error. When I upgraded my gear to tizen, The same error is there. Anyway to get it working again like before?
Hi guys,
Recently i went back to Sammy after a good time with LG. I have used my GG through my S4,G3 and now i want to pair it up nicely with my Galaxy S6 Edge. Hmm.. has anyone tried this? does it work? How can i pair it to have notifications and all, i have years away from the GG community !
I would greatly appreciate your wise suggestions and understanding to make my loved GG work with my S6. I'm running on Null's.
I have no solution, but I also have a problem with my S6 and Galaxy gear(SM-V700). In Gear manager they find eachother but it Always ends in Connection failed and they refuse to pair in gear manager. Bluetooth-pairing is no problem strangely enough.
I did manage to pair my galaxy gear successfully to my S6 when the gear was running Android, but this problem started when I upgraded it to Tizen.
-------------------------------------------------
Update: Solved it! And for me, it was very easy. I forgot I havent tried to clear the app cache. I Went though all gear apps and removed both data and cache for them. Now it works like magic. I hope this helps op aswell.
Hi guys i came back to say i have a fully working Galaxy Gear with the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
My S6 Edge updated it's software, and upon that the pairing with the Gear app on the S6 and the Galaxy Gear was seamless. Notifications and everything are fully working, i'm in Null's rom.
The only thing is that i want to install cool watch faces and new launchers to my Galaxy Gear. I've been away from the forums so i actually dont know... after all these years... what new android wear like features, and cool things i can install to a Null Rom, Galaxy Gear.
Watchstyler works perfectly!!
Before I start, I wasn't really sure what section this was supposed to go in, so excuse me if this is the wrong section.
So recently i've been trying a few things
first of all, I wanted to connect my OnePlus One to my Gear 2 Neo, which, at the time, had the Stock OS. My opo had Android 4.something and it succeeded. However, when I updated my phone to Android 5, it no longer worked. I waited quite a while, and just didnt use the watch at all. After a while I found out that I could change the OS my watch had, so I installed Android Wear. It did a pretty good job, apart from some things crashing all the time. One problem Android Wear has though; I couldn't directly call from my watch nor could I use the Watchon Remote app that was on Tizen. So I decided to install the stock OS on my watch. I also noticed that Samsung had released Gear Manager for Non-Samsung phones. So I thought it would work, however, whenever I try to search for the watch, It doesnt find it.
Here are the questions:
Is there any way to take the Watchon Remote from Tizen and somehow install it on Android Wear? ( If yes, second answer doesn't need to be answered (Also, I know that there is some kind of IR blaster but it doesn't seem to work for the kind if device I use)
If not, how do I connect my OnePlus One to my Galaxy Gear 2 Neo with the new Gear Manager app?
Is it possible to modify Android Wear, making it possible to use a dialer on my watch, and use it as a phone?
I really hope someone could help me out because this has really been bothering me lately.
Thanks in advance,
Raeeh.
i dont think you can port the apps from tizen to AW and the speakerphone in AW doesnt work yet. Thats the one thing in tizen i miss
Has anyone had any success using a Samsung Gear Sport/S3/Frontier with their Nokia 8? I bought a Gear Sport without realising that this Nokia flagship phone, only to find it will not complete the pairing process with the watch. Plenty of other non-Samsung Android phones work the Samsung Gear devices, yet Nokias sit in an odd niche that does not support them.
Really annoying because the device is really quite nice, just the odd idiosyncrasies of the Nokia 8 stopping it from working. Must be something to do with the Bluetooth implementation (where else have we see corner cutting in that department...AptX anyone?)
I use gear s2(predecessor) with Nokia 8 and don't have any issue so far. Software wise it should be similar to gear s3

Same here... I bought Gear S3 a week ago but I can't complete the pairing process with my Nokia 8. I tried every method and solution I could find but still no success :crying:. I hear there are issues with car bluetooth conectivity as well. I just hope that Pie will fix this. I am getting very frustrated with this phone!

sucks that you're having the same! I'm going to hold out for Pie to see if it helps (should be here very soon!) And if it doesn't help trade up to a Galaxy S8 for guaranteed compatibility!

Since Pie beta OTA update everything is working as it should. Watch automatically reconnects to phone after time away from it, all notifications are seamless and it functions perfectly! Setup worked first time after the update.

What about the app support?
Does it have apps like in wear OS?

Has Spotify with offline music support (unlike WearOS) so it can play directly to headphones.
It also has Strava, which is good for workout tracking.
This is where my app usage ends!
It does have apps, but I'd recommend reading/watching reviews to see if it has what you need as I think it has fewer than WearOS. What it does have, however, is far better battery life than any current WearOS device could possibly hope for.
