My Huawei Watch 2 Sport, is not working very well with my Note 8. Any ideas or people having similar problems.

Not working well is very vague. You need to be more specific as to not working.

Gear2Neo compatibility across Android

I have a Samsung Gear2Neo and Oneplus One running custom Lollipop rom (5.1). Can someone assist me in paring the watch to the phone? Android wear pairs the watch but gets stuck at updating soon after pairing. Any Ideas/ Solutions ??
The neo runs tizen not android wear. As far as I know it will only work with samsung phones with out a custom rom.

From what I read on random webpages, one can use workarounds to get it working with any android device. Even if that's not true, is there a way to flash/root and make it android compatible?
Your best bet ie to flash the android wear port. Making it usable across multiple platforms. What i did.even with owning galaxy device.id rather run android wear.

Samsung PhoneCast VR is HERE!

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

Use hotspot shield set to US run occulus and run cast vr once then when working.
After that you won't need the vpn.
Got in WORKING on my s8 uk

looking for a watch that is similar to apple watch 4!?

HI!!! this isn't probably the right place but not sure where else to ask. I am in the US and would like to have an android watch that has android apps & health apps I suppose.
I don't want to have my note 8 in hand all the time & it would be easier to have and respond to some notifications when the phone is away somewhere.
Oh & I am a female .
Can someone guide me please
thanks all!

Ok, almost every smartwatch right now does the things you need, Health app and heart monitor, answer notifications and answer calls (paired with your phone), own apps.
Now, there are 3 major OS you can choose, android wear (wear OS), tizen and Apple watch.
Wear OS is not limited to one company, there are a lot of companies using it, like Huawei, LG, Fossil, Motorola, etc, the watches are highly compatible with any android phone and a lot of apps and faces (styles for your watch).
Tizen is the samsung exclusive OS for their smartwatch, is compatible with any android and iphone BUT only on Samsung phones you can have the full experience. Tizen has its own store and as Wear OS you can download apps, faces and use it as any other watch.
Apple Watch, compatible with iPhone and android BUT, only on iPhone you have all features.
GOOD.
Wear OS. Lots of companies with a wide choice, lots of apps and faces. You can use it with any android phone
Tizen. Great design for the OS, the bezel to navigate throw menus nobody has it, lot of apps (not as much as wear OS), faces. Can use it with any android phone but only on samsung you have the full experience, and is great.
Apple watch. lots of apps and support. and I dont know, I havent use any... sorry
CONS.
Wear OS, the battery life really sucks almost on all the model, One day TWO tops.
Tizen. Great battery life, minimum 3 days and 5-6 tops, the OS has been updating frequently, for example, the gear S3...
Apple watch, expensive, noy fully compatible with android
Personal opinion.
I've using Gear S3 from one year now and the battery life is great, 3-4 days using it every day to track my running, not using to sleep. All notifications on all the time, answering calls, etc etc and the best part is that I have it paired with my note 8 and I received two major updates. Is not expensive and also is the "woman" version, which is smaller and gold color.
here is a video that may help you

Wait for the Galaxy Watch Active 2, it will be the closest competitor to the Apple Watch Series 4 on the android side.
I have Huawei Watch GT best battery life.
Similar to Apple watch you can see Xiaomi Amazfit Bip

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

I could offer SM-R840 and/or SM-R850 Root for BTHA Version.
Not tested yet...

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?

Question GW5 Pro (X9ZH) compatibility issues with newly Oppo Find X6 Pro

I'm getting a msg that this watch isn't supported on this phone.
I connected successfully a GW Active 2 (tizen based) just fine though.
Is it a compatibility issue that should probably be solved in one of the upcoming updates from either Samsung with Galaxy Wearable or from Oppo?
I know Oppo supports WearOS smartwatches just fine and as a matter of fact their own watches use it.
Or is it because Find X6Pro is Chinese only model has issues and I need to root my device? And if so what is the proper procedure/rom?
Any advice or ideas would be welcome. Thanks in advance!
Anyone?

Same here. My GW5 pro won’t connect to my find 6 pro. No work around found. I was thinking of trying a pixel watch. Might be a wear os3 issue. Wear Os 2 was compatible (to an extent) with os. Wear os 3 isn’t .
