I just got my S7 edge and of course got my free Gear VR. I did some reading and saw that the Moga Hero BT controller worked well. Well, I am a newbie, and of course, can't get it to pair using the App from the Play store. I can get it to pair throught BT settings on my phone, but it doesn't work. I am pairing it in the "A" setting. The Gear VR says it recognizes it, but again, it does not work when using the Gear VR.
Anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone help walking me through how to connect the Moga Hero so it works?
Much Thanks in advance!!
dont use the app. just turn on ths phonesphones bluetooth put the controller into pairing mode and let the phone do its thing

My question is simple, but I didn't find the answer on the web.
Let say I do like running. So is it possible to connect directly bluetooth headphones to the gear to play music while I am running and not to carry GN3 with me?
Do you not need to have the gn3 with or close to you to be able to use the gear since the gear is connected to the Phone through bluetooth?

Unless you have music stored on the watch but I'm not sure that's possible since you can only control music on your phone from the watch

No, I have Null Rom on my gear. I would like to put some music to the gear and go running with it. I dont need Note 3 with me.
That is why I ask is it possible
i own a bluetooth headset, gear discovers it but it's unable to connect.
now this might due to some missing stuff of android. i'm still on old null 11 that works well for me so i see no reason to upgrading now, but perhaps it's possible with newer version?
i would like to be able to stream music from it as well.. running with note 3 in your pocket is not really confident.
This would be nice but we seem to be limited on Bluetooth connectivity in the USA. I know that you can put music files and play them through the Gear's speaker, by sideloading programs like Apollo, it works really well.
I would like to be able to do this also. On Null rom 15 currently, have sidloaded many apps, one of which is poweramp. I can also sideload MP3's, but if I can't pair my BT headphones it doesn't do much good. Hoping someone can find a way of using BT headphones with the Gear as a stand alone.
F0mey hasn't been able to get a Bluetooth profile that works for this
You can ofcourse put music on (only 4gb storage though!) and sideload a music app
Please help me out in this
I own a galaxy gear and a Bluetooth headset , i would like play music on galaxy gear and hear it on bluetooth headset. So my question is it possible to connect galaxy gear to Bluetooth headset. Pls help me out, I'm 13 yrs old so be more specific.
Thanx in advance

You can do this if you change your gear over to tizen. I am now running tizen and have two apps for media, one called media controller (controls media on the phone) the other called media player (allows gear to run as a stand alone media player with bluetooth headphones)
I'm not sure if it will work or not but this app has let me pair problematic headsets with certain stubborn devices in the past https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.qrr.android.btoolkit
It's worth a shot installing on the gear and testing....
i heard Null rom unlocks the BT stack and allows you to connect to other BT devices just like a normal Android device?? is this true or we really have to move to tizen?

Null does allow pairing with some bluetooth profiles such as hid. I've successfully paired and used a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the gear. However a bluetooth headset, speaker or headphones requires a2dp profile. This is missing in the android version but available with tizen.
I'd love to have this function working with null as the hardware is obviously capable of it. I'm not prepared to give up null for this function as it would mean giving up lots of other functions I enjoy. I'm guessing you'd need to add the profile maybe from porting from a compatible Rom but that's way beyond my ability.
Ah thanks for clarification, sadly this is the main reason I buy gear one, to direct stream music to Bluetooth. Well, let see..

did anyone managed to pair it with Null?
Im surfing all over the net and there is no other way to do it unless you install stupid Tizen that has close to none of awesome abilities like Null. Is there any way to pair the gear 1 with headphones and run it like mp3. Or is there a way to have dualboot for gear 1? Having tizen and null and beingable to pick up booting aint that bad and it would do the trick

sorry to disagree but i like tizen. how many hours you gear can last with null? fyi i tried null for few days long time ago, so apologies if the battery life is now improved. but i like tizen, battery life is probably the best amongs android gear and apple watch. plus i can connect direct to bt headset. and tizen has camera
Loong enough

Up to 3 days if i dont listen to music on it. Anyway i dont like Tizen becosue i dont have any chance to install google browser, no youtube, mxplyaer, Rocket player, Facebook Lite or anything. When im at work i cant sneaky check anything on phone becouse i dont want to risk to break my phone but i can go with watch and since it has a nice BT range its usefull. But when im runing i dont want to holde huge ass z3 in my pocket again and pair it with headphones since i already have a bt capable device that can already play music with awesome equalizers. Rocket Player is one of the best out there and unless someone finds a way to get Tizen to instal all the aps that im using, there is no way ill instal that rom. Way to useless curently
Hi, I'm interested to use the Gear for cycling and running without having to bring my phone with me.
Has anyone tried to install a full fitness app on the gear (MapmyRun of Runkeeper...) and pair with a BT HR strap and a BT stride sensor?
Any recommendations for a fitness app that does not need an internet connection when recording? Other than that - should work right or no?
No GPS so will not be that useful with out the phone.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
GPS not needed for distance - BT stride sensor can give as accurate as GPS and indoors also... my question can we run a fully installed fitness app on the watch, pair using BT a HR and a stride sensor...and then upload when connected to the hanset after completion..?
If the app supports cloud sync across different devices under the same account then it'll work.
---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------
Stride sensor vs pedometer, what's the difference?
A pedometer just counts noumbr of steps. A stride sensor/footpod workiing out ur strides and stride length and therefore distance travelled.
Check a Polar S3 footpod for an example - I cant post a URL here yet. - this is not BT enabled but just for demonstration purposes....Fitness apps have standard profiles for receiving signals from Heart Rate straps and footpods.
The gear is BT4.0 enabled. SO we should be able to pair a HR and footpod. Just need an app that dont need internect connection and should be able to do right?
Data Syn not important really - just nice of possible after thats all...
At present the Gear is useless as a fitness watch - not waterproof, no gps and needs the handset... Hoping the Tizen Gear 2 will have the type of fitness app Im looking for that can operate independent to the phone for running...
I don't think any smartwatch in this or next generation will be officially designed for self-sufficiency. The current focus is notification and senor feedback to the phone.
The Gear 2 like the Gear 1 will require a handler by the smartphone for most of the analysis of the sensor data.
That's where the advantage of the Gear 1's Android OS comes in.
You can make it self-sufficient by installing any Android App directly on it.
With the null rom, you should be able to connect other accessories to it as long as you have an app that supports reading the sensor data.
I've been having problems with the Bluetooth dongle in my car. My phone will connect, and I can play my music but for some reason it starts to skip like a cd. I have no idea why.
One solution people propose for this type of issue is to clear the app cache for the Bluetooth Share application

Did not work.
If it doesn't happen with other bluetooth audio devices it may just be an issue with the dongle.
My sbh80 headphones worked fine for months, then one day they only work up to 1ft range, past that they drop audio and disconnect....

BAD ASS NOTE 4 & GEAR S
2010 Scion TC, Factory Radio. I bought the Bluetooth to aux dongle because before this I had the LG G3 which had problems with the Aux. Now I have to get an aux cord again because this phone has problems with the Bluetooth. It worked when I first got the phone, and then it works for a little after I clear the data, but then it does it again, and I always have the phone basically right next to the Bluetooth dongle.

I'm having an issue where when I plug in my OPO to the AVH-4100 either Android Auto will immediately freeze, head unit will say it can't connect to Android Auto and try again when safe or the head unit will display disconnecting USB2 to protect device. I'm not sure what's happening, it wasn't doing this before. I did replace the stock USB cable with a different one but it worked the first time I used it.
I'm having the same problem with my OPO, in my 2015 Kia Soul. Anyone know the answer?
The Bluetooth works with mine when I pair my phone with my auto's system. I can use maps, waze, I heart radio, Pandora, etc and it all works with my speakers.

Hi,guys.Ive got a weird problem lately.My headphones mic doesnt work with skype call.I can hear my friend but my friend cant hear me.when i unplugged the headphones phone starts to use its own mic and my friend finally hear me.Headphones without mic are also working.
I tried to call him and microphone just works on normal calls.I tested headphone and microphone with my brothers iphone 4s too.They are fine.Have you guys any ideas?
I know man. Doesn't work for me either. I made a thread on talk.sonymobile.com named Skype Issue on 5.1.1. Check it out. Skype just does not work on 5.1.1
---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------
It works on all the previous android versions though. So the only solution would be to roll back to kitkat or 5.0.2. Another fix might be to connect the earphones two seconds after the call starts (doesn't work for me though)
