Hi guys, i hace this galaxy gear since november 2016
when it came i couldnt use it to pair my phone, i tried with an S7 and it didnt work, i used the stand alone mode and made it able to pair only for phone calls and sync contacts, but sometimes works and some times not.
when i factory reset the gear i get this message
"failed to connect to your gear try to connect via samsung gear refer to the manual for more information"
i know it works but i dont know if its the software version 2.2.1.3
i tried the ATT device unlock if it has something to do but in google doesnt says anything about the conectivity issue.
the bluetooth works with any android but not with my samsung or related, the website says its compatible gear s1
i give up i hope i can get answers

hello everybody,
untill last week my gear was working fine, but 2 days ago i wanted to flash null_rom because i was interested in the function on internet bluetooth tethering
i flashed the rom, i connect the gear to my note 3 ( rom s5 ported) and all was working fine, except for the fact that i couldn't use bluetooth tethering.. i don't know why!
so i decided to wipe all and reflash the rom from recovery. Then i reboot the watch and i tried to reconnect phone and gear, and i couldn't! i opened gear manager, find my gear e and paired with my device: the phone said "connecting to gear" and on the watch there was the symbols of connction between the devices.. the gear stuck on this but my phone said that was connected, but i couldn't use the watch beacuse i had always the animation of connecting devices on the gear!
i didn't know what to do, so i decided to reflash the last firmware for gear (android 4.2.2 nc1, not tizen, i don't want it!). Now the problem is worse, i think, because the gear and phone try to connect but the phone says that "the base that i tried to connect could be wrong :/ , while the gear doesn't show nothing! i have always the 2 icon of demostration of connection by bluetooth or nfc: when i try to pair the devices, both phone and watch vibrate and show the code of pairing, i accept in both of device but nothing happens! could someone help me? i also tried to unpair the devices and downgrading the gear manager to reconnect devices, but the older gear manager says that i have to upgrade the software of the gear, but i don't want tizen at all! i like android
Help me please!!
Did u use custom rom on your note 3 ? If yes try to reinstall back that rom and if still cannot then u must use original stock rom before can sync with your GG.
Hope this can give u little bit idea..... peace
So I went back to Null Rom 23 from Tizen because I got an Iphone 6 and wanted to at least use the watch with it somehow or other. This is probably a real dumb question(Most of mine are) but how Do I get past the screen at boot up where it is looking for a Samsung Phone with gear manager on it> I saw in a Video from "didi" I believe where his gear watch boots straight to the home screen without the annoying "play screen" showing how to connect watch to gear manager. Thank you all very much for answering my stupid questions... I did try and search forums for an answer but no luck. - DjSkipEllis
I try it before to connect my GG with iphone via bluetooth and it works.
But the problem is u can use it as a phone only not fully sync as u use samsung phone
and now im still try to figure it out how to fully sync it.
So my wife just got me the Gear S watch but I have a Nexus 5. I don't want to return the present if possible so I'd like to get it working. I followed a guide that was meant for the original Gear I believe, but it doesn't seem to work for me right now. The managers install but I can't seem to pair it up with my phone. I have only been successful in even detecting the watch 2 times and no dice. Does anyone have any suggestions? Also to pair it up manually (since NFC doesn't seem to work), do I need to do anything special to get it to detect my watch?
I've been trying all morning to connect my s21 ultra to my gear s3...to no luck...I know Samsung has discontinued support for S2 and earlier but I don't remember the S3 being on the list?? Anyone else successfully pair an old S3 to this phone??
Yes, I was immediately successful. You need to factory reset your watch then the S21 should automatically find it and ask you if you want to connect to it. I don't think I even had to manually go into the app. It just finds it and works. I have both an S3 and the Galaxy Watch and both connected perfectly fine.
If you use Android 11 and the Duraspeed is available, try disabling Duraspeed.
I noticed that duraspeed caused disconnections between my phone and my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier or if I was away from my phone, my watch would disconnect and never reconnect.
Disabling Duraspeed solved the problem.
(Note : I tried disabling Duraspeed for anything related to my watch or Samsung, but this did not work)
Hello All.
I'm quite new in this Tizen world. don't know if someone worked to make it work.
Is there any way to switch my paired GWA2 from Samsung phone, where it loads the SO with the plenty of apps and health options like ecg an bp, to iPhone, without wipe and loose all "Samsung Exclusive" options?
I know it is not possible to do it the regular way. I'm able to pair my watch with Samsung and change it to iPhone, but it didn't get anything from there, like notification and even connection with the Samsung watch app, exception by receiving calls, cause it is done by different bt connection.
Is the only option using the watch as an standalone device in such case?
You will loose the BP,ECG but there is a tutorial step by step how to install them back in your phone manual,if you are worried about your achivements and other STATS they are saved in your account (samsung one)so make sure you log in with the correct details
Thanks for answering @oache . However, this is exactly what im trying to avoid. Even disconnecting from bluetooth via shell, when I connect to the iphone, it shows connected through the bluetooth (both connections), but completely dead, no traffic at all and Galaxy watch app on iphone can't see the connected watch.
