Have you tried connecting with Google Fit (the default app)? I am using that and have had no problems, exercise tracking works. Have not tried any other apps.
Also make sure you have the latest AW for G2 Neo. Here is the one I am using, it is dated 2016/07/08 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73542831&postcount=4

Didn't see this posted anywhere. Has anyone been able to connect a HR monitor and be able to monitor on the watch?

hi, yes, i am using an app called Runtastic pro ( paid vers ,as it gives h/rate readings )
Then i also have a " Runtastic gear version " in Samsung store for the gear watch .
One point to note is that you have to have a bluetooth h/rate monitor/ strap
i use a POLAR bluetooth combo see pic.( No problems ,but at first a bit tricky to set up ,but works 100% afterwards)
yes then there is the S health app on phone Note 3 that you can also use.
it works on the ANT + technology where mine works on bluetooth v 4.
Hi all. I just bought a Galaxy Gear cheaply and it has the latest (MK7) Android revision on it. I downloaded some Gear Manager and other APKs on here to my Nexus 6 and managed to get it to pair, but I do not get weather or dual city clock face functionality. Also some app keeps crashing on my phone after certain events, like hanging calls up. I think it was called GoManager. My phone is rooted but my watch is fully un-modded.
Which OS is the best thing for me to get the most functionality out of this watch given that I do not use a Samsung device, and especially that I use a Nexus 6? I heard of Null, and of course Tizen. Also TizenMod. What should I do to have the best experience & where can I find an up to date guide on what to do with my watch, phone, & PC? I was hoping to have at least a watch face with the weather, my notifications, & syncing of camera snaps from the watch over to my phone (bare transfer every X minutes is fine).
Thanks so much.
How do I connect the Samsung Gear 2 Neo to my Nexus 6P?I don't want to use the Android wear port simply because I want to have calls on my watch working. I've installed the Samsung Gear app from the Google Play Store but it doesn't find my device. Please help.?
I'm having the same issue. I can pair the 6P to the Gear with Bluetooth, but Gear Manager won't see it... and the Watch is useless since it never leaves the initial tutorial / pairing, even when pair to bluetooth.

You can skip the tutorial but the only thing that will work will be the phone calls and ir remote.

I was able to skip the tutorial (thank you!), and even connect to the Gear 2 Neo using my Nexus 6P... BUT... Gear Manager still won't see it. Any solution?

Apparently, for now, that's where the journey ends. Just a bluetooth connection is pretty useless and the fact that it wants to do a factory reset every time you connect it to a different phone means I can't configure it on m S5 and then bluetooth it to my 6P.
Gear 2 is made for only Samsung phone.
There are some workaround but this works only in few case.
Before I start, I wasn't really sure what section this was supposed to go in, so excuse me if this is the wrong section.
So recently i've been trying a few things
first of all, I wanted to connect my OnePlus One to my Gear 2 Neo, which, at the time, had the Stock OS. My opo had Android 4.something and it succeeded. However, when I updated my phone to Android 5, it no longer worked. I waited quite a while, and just didnt use the watch at all. After a while I found out that I could change the OS my watch had, so I installed Android Wear. It did a pretty good job, apart from some things crashing all the time. One problem Android Wear has though; I couldn't directly call from my watch nor could I use the Watchon Remote app that was on Tizen. So I decided to install the stock OS on my watch. I also noticed that Samsung had released Gear Manager for Non-Samsung phones. So I thought it would work, however, whenever I try to search for the watch, It doesnt find it.
Here are the questions:
Is there any way to take the Watchon Remote from Tizen and somehow install it on Android Wear? ( If yes, second answer doesn't need to be answered (Also, I know that there is some kind of IR blaster but it doesn't seem to work for the kind if device I use)
If not, how do I connect my OnePlus One to my Galaxy Gear 2 Neo with the new Gear Manager app?
Is it possible to modify Android Wear, making it possible to use a dialer on my watch, and use it as a phone?
I really hope someone could help me out because this has really been bothering me lately.
Thanks in advance,
Raeeh.
i dont think you can port the apps from tizen to AW and the speakerphone in AW doesnt work yet. Thats the one thing in tizen i miss
Has anyone had any success using a Samsung Gear Sport/S3/Frontier with their Nokia 8? I bought a Gear Sport without realising that this Nokia flagship phone, only to find it will not complete the pairing process with the watch. Plenty of other non-Samsung Android phones work the Samsung Gear devices, yet Nokias sit in an odd niche that does not support them.
Really annoying because the device is really quite nice, just the odd idiosyncrasies of the Nokia 8 stopping it from working. Must be something to do with the Bluetooth implementation (where else have we see corner cutting in that department...AptX anyone?)
I use gear s2(predecessor) with Nokia 8 and don't have any issue so far. Software wise it should be similar to gear s3

Same here... I bought Gear S3 a week ago but I can't complete the pairing process with my Nokia 8. I tried every method and solution I could find but still no success :crying:. I hear there are issues with car bluetooth conectivity as well. I just hope that Pie will fix this. I am getting very frustrated with this phone!

sucks that you're having the same! I'm going to hold out for Pie to see if it helps (should be here very soon!) And if it doesn't help trade up to a Galaxy S8 for guaranteed compatibility!

Since Pie beta OTA update everything is working as it should. Watch automatically reconnects to phone after time away from it, all notifications are seamless and it functions perfectly! Setup worked first time after the update.

What about the app support?
Does it have apps like in wear OS?

Has Spotify with offline music support (unlike WearOS) so it can play directly to headphones.
It also has Strava, which is good for workout tracking.
This is where my app usage ends!
It does have apps, but I'd recommend reading/watching reviews to see if it has what you need as I think it has fewer than WearOS. What it does have, however, is far better battery life than any current WearOS device could possibly hope for.
