Hi there
I'm using a Mi Note Pro. Rom is 6.4.7, bootloader is unlocked
I'm given a Gear S2 as a gift from my partner. But it is unable to connect with my phone. even both devices are recognized each other via Bluetooth. I tried to connect the watch with my wife' Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and my mother's Sony Xperia Z5, and both phones are pairing well with the watch without any problem.
I think Xiaomi phone is not compatible with Galaxy Gear S2 as it is not supported to be global phone
I did search around google but no help
Hope anybody have the same situation and share your experiences
Thank you
There is another app needed to connect to mi note but sold my s2 and can't remember the name. Or maybe it is thge latest rom why not try Mokkee rom, S2 worked perfectly when I had it. Did you install gear plugin and gear manger.
Please comment if you can't connect gear 2 neo to phone any thanks!!
got a Samsung J3 Luna pro(SM-S327VL) the other day, cant connect gear 2 neo to it, it will pair Bluetooth, but when you start to connect through gear manager you get a "check if phone is compatible or if gear manager needs to be updated" or "failure to download"

I tried that. The app had to update, before it would go to the pairing screen.
Yeah I just flashed android wear to solve my problem, I held off as long as I could cause I know the difference in OS. I might have compatibility that teizen didn't have, but now I have the battery drain that comes with wear.

First of all, please excuse my English...
I want to connect my Gear2 Neo to my "Huawei P20 lite" (Android 8 not rooted). Unfortunately, on my search in Google I only found very old instructions, which didn't work for me. I suspect it is because these instructions use an older Android version and the apps included do not work on my device. Unfortunately, I haven't taken care of such things at all in the last few years, but I can still remember that the XDA developers always had a solution for almost everything.
Can you help me out here?

While Tizen is on your watch it is not possible to pair it. You should install android wear to your watch, then you will be able to pair it with your Huawei phone.

I do have WearOS by Google on my Moto G6 Plus and can't connect, I had done almost everything that was recommended but nothing any tips on this one? (Old phone died on me Moto G4 Play and it worked flawlessly)
It has the Android OS 6.0.1 and wear version is 1.5.0.2884951 if that can help you guys at all.
Cheers
Almost same problem here. Have Gear 2 with the latest software on it(the BOA). It won't pair neither with Samsung or other manufacturer. The only time that pairs is when i've tryed with an older version of android wear on my sony z1 but when showing the updating message, it freezes like that. Pls help people!
Hey, I just got an LG Stylo 3 and cant get my gear 2 neo to connect. I can connect via phone bluetooth, but wear cant find phone and the when I try to connect from the watch the watch wont find the phone. I can answer calls through the watch only. I have the old patch for gear version 2.1.14052101. Any help is appreciated.
Any backdoors to get this smart watch to work with newer Samsung phones yet? Or a way to use an older Samsung gear on newer Samsung's without being forced to update? Have a note 9 I want to use this watch with but thus far no luck
i have a Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra

Yeah, there is an old version of Android Wear that works with the Gear 2 Neo. I installed it twice this week. A lot of stuff works, some doesn't.
Some big stuff that works:
• Google Fit App
• Heartbeat
• Pedometer
• Google Authentication
• media controls (I've used Spotify, TuneIn, Google Music), volume control
• notifications, app options (example, delete an email)
• speaker (tested with Google Music → Play on Wear → Sync)
You'll need Samsung Odin, just search and download from whichever site.
I rooted before installing AW. Not sure if I needed to do that but it took 2 minutes.
Go to watch settings and see if you have firmware ending in NE5. If you have any other version, you need a stock NE5 firmware. One of mine had NE5 and one did not. If you have trouble finding a copy that isn't behind a paywall or something else stupid, just send me a message and I'll upload it to Google Drive (I can't post links yet).
Once you have stock NE5 firmware flashed to the device, download the file "R381XXU0BNE5rootfs_root.tar" from this thread and flash it also - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773803
Then download the Android Wear file from this post and flash it last - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73542831&postcount=4
The watch will boot into a menu. Select "reboot" and then "system". Give it a few minutes and you should be good to go.
For each file you need to install (stock NE5, root, AW 1.5), follow these steps.
Flashing firmware with Odin:
1. Connect the device to your PC and open Odin.
2. Hold down the button until the watch restarts (the menu will appear, don't select reboot just keep holding the button).
3. When the logo appears, tap the button 5 times.
4. Tap the button once to select "download" and long press the button. The device should be in "download mode".
5. In Odin, click "AP" and select the firmware file.
6. Verify the default options "auto reboot" and "f. reset time" are enabled. Press start.

I disagree. Biktor's AW ROM worked great on my Neo, for years. I had the best luck using the Beta 3 version.

I reverted my Neo to Tizen from AW, last night and paired it with my Verizon branded, Snapdragon Note 9. No pairing issues. I used the same Samsung Wearable app that I used to pair the Fit2 Pro, Sport and S3. It's seriously old school, compared to the Gear Sport or Gear S3, but works fine.
Can not connect gear 2 neo to huawei p30 android 9.
Even i flash with custom android rom in my gear but no luck can not detect gear on my p30.
Any expert here who can do it..

I just dug out my Neo, and I was all set to enjoying my watch until I ran across Google Wear. I am running on a Nexus 6p and Android Gear worked just fine. Not so much with Google Wear. So where can I find a apk that will put me back to being able to make use of the Neo. Not ready to invest in a new watch, and Tizen is not feasible since I am not playing with a Sumsung phone.
I have a gear 2 neo running Android wear 1.5.0.2884951 and Google play services 8.7.01. It connects nicely for notifications and Spotify/media controls for my LG v40.
Unfortunately only one phone app was able to push it's extension app over to the watch. I have been trying to adb sideload (install not push) some older APK files, that appear to complete 100%, but never showup on the watch.
Any ideas?

For a non- Samsung phone, you should use the Beta 3 version of Biktor's Android Wear ROM.

My Samsung Gear S3 does not connect with my Mi 8 device. When I try it with Gear manager, it was connected well but suddenly it was disconnected. I think, there is a bluetooth issue.
Are there any people have this issue?
Same problem Samsung S3 Frontier and Xiaomi Mi 8 won't connect
I'm having the same problem with my Xiaomi Mi 8. The moment I try to synch the watch with Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, the app crashes and I can't reopen it.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Also have tried activating all permissions in the app settings, even tried the same for Samsung Gear Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service.
and did you deactivate any battery saver functionality in miui?

Did you reset your s3 to factory?
After you reset, unpair,reboot phone and gear
Now it will show up again.
I had the same issue, if it still doesnt open, you have to give more permissions to gear s..
That did the trick for me, and yes you also need to do for samsung accessoir services
Good luck
Im having tje same problem but with my Mi 8 se. When it attempts to pair and connect at setup, the app just closes....
Ive tried all the solutions above but not success. Im not sure if im missing swthing here. I
same problems here, with Mi max 3 and Gear S3 - Miui 10 (8.8.23)
Gear S PlugIn crash at startup
Samsung wearables app does not appear in Xiaomi mi8
Apart from the Bluetooth connection problems, the Samsung wearables app is not downloading from the Google play store displaying the message "version not compatible with this device". Guys, "ok Google" command does not work, Netflix app does not work, and now Samsung wearables app is not working either. I am putting my Mi8 for sale right now. If this is a strategy from Xiaomi, I can assure it is suicidal!
Problem Solved - Can connect my gear S2 to my Mi 8 lite again
I have updated all three applications to latest version.
1. Galaxy wearble 2. Gear S2 plugin and 3. Samsung accessory service
I give all android permissions in the setting menu of these three apps.
And, I set the battery optimization to "no restrictions" for all three apps.
And, boom. I can now connect my phone again to my Gear S2.
My android version is 9 pie and my MIUI is 10.3.5 global and my phone is not rooted.
Welcome back my galaxy.
PS. You need to update the galaxy wearable first and then Galaxy wearable will automatically download the suitable gear s plug in for the watch.
thanks for solution... its work (set the battery optimization to "no restrictions" for all three apps)
now i can use gear s3 on my Mi 9
Make sure Galaxy Wearable is installed too

I have a Redmi 8 running Android 10 MIUI Global 11.0.2 and a Samsung Watch. I gave the apps all permissions but it still didn't detect from Samsung Health -> Settings -> Accessories. I think the BT actually did pair but Samsung Health did not take it further. I went into BT settings and told it to unpair.
In my case, Galaxy Wearable (used to be call Samsung Gear) is somehow missing from the Google Play Store. The Galaxy Watch Plugin is available though but after installing, it would hide so I cannot run it. The same happens with Samsung Accessories Service. Looking into Settings -> App Settings, the apps show up as installed.
I ended up extracting the Galaxy Wearable APK from my old phone (a SONY) using APK Extractor, selecting it from ES Explorer, and then sending it through Bluetooth to my Redmi 8, installing it from APK. Then I ran Galaxy Wearable and was able to pair it with the watch. I lost my downloaded watch faces in the process though. Good luck.
