Has anyone else had any issues getting their Gear Live to connect to a Galaxy S8+? I realize this is probably too early to ask, but wanted to get it out there anyway.
Any pairing attempts by the phone are listed as "rejected" and watch just says "Can't connect to the Android Wear app on your phone. Swipe for some tips." I've reinstalled AW, reset the watch a few times.
Thanks for any help.

Just realized there is a specific Gear 2 Neo forum... they should combine them. How confusing! Anyhow...
I used the S-Voice option once on my Gear2 Neo, then when I was going to use it a few hours later but it no longer works. I hit the Mic to send a talk command and it does the circle connecting icon, then says No response from server. Try again.
Anyone know why that is happening or how to fix it? Did some searching and haven't seen anyone else mentioning it.
Whoops, I should say I have the latest version of everything to my knowledge and am on a GS5. I check for updates for the Gear, Gear Manager, and GS5 and all up to date.

Silly me, S-Voice had updated and wanted me to re-go through tutorial or skip it. I hit skip and boom! Good to go.
I'm having the same problem with my gear 2. I I had s voice working before, after an update recently it doesn't seem to work. It just says Connecting... And times out
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
Just read up on this issue and had the same issue with s voice not connecting to the server.
Well I resolved this issue by uninstalling the Samsung gear app, and then going to the Samsung App Store and redownloaded it. Then it went through all the tutorial crap again and it reset my watch as well installed updates and a couple service packs. After reconnecting my watch to my phone again, it appears my s voice is working again and can send messages and tell it to do stuff again.
I also recommend installing flesky messenger as it has a full keyboard for your watch so if you're like me and fat fingers stuff it'll automatically try to tell what you're typing.
Currently on a Verizon samsung galaxy s5 on straight talk with a samsung galaxy gear 2 neo smart watch (El cheapo tizan operating system one).
Hope this helps.
I can't find the microphone or anywhere to setup s voice on watch. Any ideas?

Same here.... Any solutions? Also, I noticed that Watch Styler app was removed as well. I can get it on my device but not the watch.
Hi
Has anybody here succeeded in getting their Galaxy gear to work with their Oppo Find 7a?
I bought the Galaxy this afternoon and immediately updated to Tizen as I was told this would be easy to connect to non samsung-devices.
Since then I have been searching, trying and failing to get the Gear up and running for hours.
I can connect to the gear (both devices vibrate) but then the phone goes into the connecting part and gets stuck there...
Anybody who can help me?
Thanks in advance
Doesnt matter anymore. Got it to work after factory resetting my phone.
So I've got a new Samsung Gear Live from the Play Store. I'm attempting to pair the device to a Nexus 5 running stock 4.4.4.
When I turn on the Gear Live I'm prompted with selecting a language. I choose English US. Then i'm taken to the "Install Android Wear on your phone" Screen
At first this screen would show me the text "Gear Live 4AFV" (or something along those lines). However 9/10 (after rebooting or resetting the watch) it will simply show me "Gear Live" no 4 digit name.
Without the 4 digits showing the phone will not detect the bluetooth device to connect. On the off chance that it does show up and the phone is able to detect the watch, the pairing process can either work, or stall leaving both devices sitting at a "wait a moment while pairing" screen that never ends.
Lastly, if everything works and i'm able to pair the watch and phone. it will randomly disconnect and nothing I do will make it reconnect to one another.
Other things to note. Bluetooth has no issues on my phone with any other device.
I've reset the watch numerous times,
I've uninstalled the Android Wear app as well as any other watchfaces or launchers.
I've factory reset the phone.
Suffice it to say i'm almost certain there is a problem with the watch, the question is has anyone else experience this or anything similar with a Reset hasn't fixed the problem and is there possibly a solution to this problem that isn't a replacement.
Google has offered to replace the watch but I want to ensure I"m not missing something here.
thanks for any assistance in advance.

I have the same connection issue but not until I updated it to Android version 5.0 that I started to get connection issues and the gear live was constantly doing a sync loop and it would not stay connected or send SMS messages.
I have had my galaxy gear 2 paired and working with my nexus 5. No issues other than wanting to install some of the other tizen stuff.
Anyway, today my phone upgraded to lollipop. After that, any attempt to open gear manager was getting a "Unfortunately, gear manager has stopped". I've tried so much. I tried the newest gear manager I could find: 1.7.031004. It keeps crashing as soon as you try to open it. I've rebooted my phone a ton of times, I've reset my watch back to defaults. If I uninstall that and attempt gear manager 1.6.111801. The bluetooth will connect to my watch but the gear manager keeps failing. I've tried a few other older visions of gear manager with no luck.
Does anyone have anything I can try to fix this? Ha, damn this is really upsetting me that samsung didn't just make this damn watch open to all phones.
Good luck with that. Honestly. Samsung is slow to update gear manager. It's probably not compatible with the Android L framework yet. When I got the Note 4, I couldn't access settings. It crashed every time.
I emailed Samsung about my displeasure and they told me I just had to wait until an update came out to fix it. Go figure. I am sure it will be compatible soon. :good:
Has anyone tried connecting a Gear S2/S3 to their Mi Mix? I got it to connect to my 3g Gear S2 just fine and gave all the apps all the permissions they needed (and then some) but the Samsung Pay app won't show up in the gear app for install and nothing, and I mean nothing, will show up in the galaxy app store. I've tried 2 factory reboots and rebooting my phone and still nothing. To me, the Gear S2 is worthless without a working galaxy app store. Anyone else have this problem or have a possible solution? My Huawei watch works perfectly as does my Pebble Time Steel so the Gear S2 seems to be the only one with an issue.
Please help! Thanks.
If I remember the Samsung store app won't run on non Samsung devices, could be wrong though. I dropped Samsung watches awhile back after the proprietary behavior they showed with the early Fit's ... went to a Moto 360 and haven't looked back.

Well I would agree except my Gear S2 works perfectly on my old Nexus 6P and Honor 8. So I'm thinking there is something that is blocking its use. I have noticed that the China rom blocks a few things (google opinion rewards for example). I've tried the latest global official rom too and it is even worse. I can't even connect the watch to the phone before the gear app just crashes. I guess it just won't work on MIUI. No big deal really as my Huawei watch is sufficient and nicer in my opinion.
I have the same error with my Samsung Pay Gear S2 app. Whenever I try to open it, it returns the error that Samsung Pay cannot be accessed by rooted devices for security reasons. Unroot your device to use Samsung Pay. I have downloaded the SuperUs app to try to unroot it and it says that no root detected on my phone. My Samsung Pay app used to work just fine until they upgraded it. Now it doesn't work anymore.
Does Samsung Pay work on non Samsung devices?
