"One of Samsung’s head strategists confirmed that the company would launch an Android Wear smartwatch this year, though Tizen remains a focus both in wearables and in smartphones.
Talking to Reuters, Yoon Han-kil, senior vice president of Samsung’s strategy team, confirmed that an Android-powered smartwatch is scheduled for this year, though he declined to provide a timeline. When Android Wear launched last month, Samsung was mentioned as one of the initial partners developing smartwatches powered by Google’s new wearable-focused operating system. So far, Motorola and LG are the only partners that have showed off actual Android Wear products; other partners include HTC, Asus, as well as component providers like Broadcom, Qualcomm, and MediaTek.
Samsung also has its own smartwatch-ready operating system in Tizen, which powers the recently released Gear 2. Then there’s the Gear Fit, which runs a different OS that Samsung developed specifically for it. With Android Wear in the picture, it seems that Samsung is hedging its bets with multiple operating systems, in an effort to gain traction in the promising wearable industry."

QUESTION
Do you think its possible if our Galaxy Gear 1 can also run Android Wear in the future? I saw some thread in Android Wear thread here in xda and they're saying that its possible. Cant wait for Galaxy Gear 1 running Android Wear
Sent from my Tesla Model S using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I quess the question is will it cone in the form of a Gear 2 or a seperate device all together... Either way, sounds VERY exciting!
Just curious if anyone at all is still working on developing custom roms for the gear? I got it it right before android wear was announced for the sake of null and a camera. If no one is working on getting android wear running, it might be time for me to move on.
+1
wondering the same no more updates from null..
but the gear and all android wear are about the same on developement. gear has stoped and android wear not much to mod.
I will claim that the version of Android a phone was released with is the best for the phone. Samsung started working towards the release of the S6, and the S5 was old news.
Excuse my English.
What?
lolopinions
Let's wrap this up then. :good:
xda Samsung seems to listen to us and develope VR Apps that we want! Samsung is now presenting Samsung PhoneCast VR App! this allows us to use our beloved Video Apps like kodi on our Gear VR! Sounds pretty cool right? few months back people tried doing this but now we get a official solution
currently it's in beta and only supports the S8 and S8+. I hope in the future when it's out of the beta stage it will be available also for older devices. Can anyone test this app on their S8 / S8+? If I change the model to a SM-G955F on my Note 7 from a SM-G935F it's starts the app but I get a prompt to update my Firmware before I continue. Can someone disable those ckecks for device and firmware please?

That's been out for a couple months now.
Galaxy S6 +
It crashes on my galaxy S6 Edge Plus :crying:
Loving it!
I'm getting message on s8 Oreo that I'm not entitled to use it... Any other Oreo users have same issues?
Yep same here on my S8+.
I was wondering if it's region locked (I live in the UK), or it doesn't like Oreo.
Either way, it's pretty ridiculous.
What about note 5 android 7

Why you buy Tizen device? If you want Android Wear?
B
Maybe your are willing to learn... maybe you port Wear OS.

A. I didn't code to buy a Tizen, I choose the look of the watch
B. I am not technical enough
C. Thanks for offering
I hate to say it, but WearOS might be on life support. So no Apple or Samsung, obviously...Moto appears pretty much done with smartwatches....Huawei might be banned in the US...So not many people left making good WearOS watches, for starters. And no one with the cutting edge tech of Apple or Samsung, or even Fitbit really.
Fitbit might the only chance to save WearOS. Polar/Garmin have some serious hardware, but they are gaudy and beastly fitness devices. I'd consider springing for TAG, if they had all the bells and whistles of Apple or Samsung. Fossil has some nice watches out there but in terms of features they're always 1-2 generations behind.
After the announcement of Galaxy watch 4 having wear os I wonder if we can flash wear os on the watch 3 or active 2

One of the reasons for having Wear OS in GW3 is the absence of Samsung pay in the Czech Republic. So GW4 will be the first Samsung watch with which it will be possible to pay in the Czech Republic. I have six months of GW3 titanium and I'm quite annoyed that I can't pay with them.
I'm not sure if the GW3 processor is even capable of running WearOS. Probably.
But there are other hardware differences that would make this very difficult if not impossible. The chance of WearOS coming to GW3 in the next year, maybe ever, is extremely remote.
You're better off selling your GW3 and putting the money towards GW4.
Is there any option to trade Galaxy Watch 3 BT for Galaxy Watch 4 classic LTE?

Hello i like to get port wear os to sm R850 does it have full functionality
Since this watch is using the same SoC on the Pixel Watch, is there any chance of getting WearOS?
