I bought the Galaxy Gear (Black) for my Galaxy Note III LTE (Black) a few days ago.
I wanted to received them together on the 25th Sept but could only get the phone on that day. Anyway, all is not lost as I finally got the Galaxy Gear and am ready to use the Note III and Gear combo.
Here are some box pictures.
Here are some unboxing pictures
The Galaxy Gear (Black) is not all that fancy looking like the Orange or Green but it is simple and goes well with my look during my working days. I have other more valuable watches for my weekend or holiday needs.
I intend to use my Gear mainly for business.
How to Charge the Watch?
Well there is this case which we have to wrap around the phone and there is a micro usb port at the back of the case. The watch charges very quickly. When I switched on the phone it had about 65% battery and it charged to 100% within 20 mins.
Setting up a connection with Galaxy Note III.
We have to switch on the watch first. Then make sure Note III NFC is on and then place the back of the Gear Charging Case under the Note III for connection.
Once detected the Gear Manager app will be asked to be installed. Then it will be installed and connection will be complete.
This is how the Gear looks on my wrist.
Galaxy Note III and Galaxy Gear put for charging.
thx for that nice to have some pics with the phone on your wrist thx.....if I could only find 1 in stock somewhere

how do you find it so far?
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?
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.
Hi to my fellow xda's,
I'm looking for Samsung galaxy note 5 original display so if any could help with a dead phone but working display is huge relief for me. As the phone is old, don't want to invest too much with Samsung service parts. If any could help in anyway possible to get hands on original replacement part I will be happy....!
Thank you all.
Cheers for the Christmas & New year in advance.
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy pro tab sm-t900. First it wasnt changing and rebooting. We replaced the battery replaced the charging port and got a new charger. After we put the battery in and turned it on. You could hear sounds but no screen display black. Any help would be appreciated
This is the XDA Samsung Note 9 area. You may want to try your query in the Tab Pro 12.2 XDA offerings.
