Compatibility samsung smartwatch on galaxy tab s2 T819 - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Today I bought the latest samsung smartwatch R800. Apparently this watch is not compatible with my galaxy tab S2 (T819). I called Samsung support but they couldn't help and told me I have to use a phone. Is there a way to make it work on this tab? If not it's going back to the shop because it's no use for me if can't link to the tablet. Strange Samsung even makes products that are not compatible with their own devices!

I'm wondering that too. It's been 2 years for you, and how did it go??? I'm switching to an old Tab S2 8.0 and my watch isn't connecting.

Is there any smart watch compatible with s3 mini?

Hey there, I purchased this phone a few months ago and since galaxy gear was launched I was wondering if I could use it as where I live it's common to see phones being stolen when somebody sees you are using the phone while driving. However according to what I found the galaxy great won't be compatible with my phone. So is there another smart watch compatible with our phone? thanks in advance

I don't see why Pebble wouldn't work:

as far as i know it could work with gear and even with sony smartwartches....
Actually my friend said the samsung gear would work on any samsung galaxy phones. But Samsung says its intended just for the Note 3.

[Q] Pair the gear to a rooted samsung

So I've got the galaxy gear and I happen to have 2 phones. A galaxy s3 and an ace 2. With the galaxy s3 is no problem but I have a foreign number so I cannot use it in this country for texting, so I use in that case the ace 2. The problem with the ace 2 is that it originally runs android 4.1.2 or something like that but I managed to root it and get kitkat 4.4.4-
Now the newest problem is that i cannot pair it with my rooted samsung and I would really like to! I want to keep tizen as the running OS on my gear but be able to do everything i do on my s3... how is this possible?

Android M not coming to Tab S

How it possible that Android M it's only coming to this devices
-Samsung Galaxy Note 5
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
- Samsung Galaxy S6
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos
- Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4
- Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos
- Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
- Samsung Galaxy ALPHA
- Samsung Galaxy Tab A
And our tablet that was announced on June 2014 isn't gonna get the M
Like WTF Samsung 1 year tablet and no more updates
Seems unlikely to be correct

That list is wrong or incomplete the Tab S2 is not even on it.
John.
Don't know where you got that list from, but it's far from correct.
Note 5 Duos, S6 Active, S5, Tab S and S2 and more should be listed.
And I'm wishing for Note 3, but unfortunately it's very unlikely.
I found the same list here.

This is not an official list from Samsung, at this point Samsung doesn't even know when Android M final sources will be ready, not to mention it will take ages to integrate touchwiz and all its features.
One example is Samsung former flagship Note 4, which is still on a very buggy 5.0.1. (10 months after Google release date).
Looking at Samsung firmware release history, you may end up getting Android M by July 2016 (if you're lucky!).
I never trust anything out of Yourmobile. Where do they get their info? Sammobile is a better news source.
I wouldn't be surprised if Samsung doesn't update the Tab S to Marshmallow. The Galaxy Tab Pro (predecessor to the Tab S) came out in 2014 with KitKat 4.4 and later updated to 4.4.2. Lollipop was never released for it. I had a Tab Pro 8.4, which I install CM12 to get Lollipop.
I think: 40% will update, 100% not. But we have cm, fortunately...
Yep we will hopefully get a cm port

they did it last time to the predecessor Galaxy Tab 7.7. It was one hell of a device but being abandon big time by Samsung. They likely doing the same **** again. Its Samsung.
Where is the stupid Tab S2
The german AndroidPit.de wrote, Samsung has confirmed this list. [emoji17]
For Samsung smartphone is their first priority, as for tablet, it a one off, may be 1-2 update a year, then it's a new tablet on the market, and the others get obsolete and thrown to one side.
Those list are for initial devices. The galaxy s4 received lollipop before the note 4 and it wasn't on the so called list. So please stop arguing about something only Samsung will know. Also even if we don't get android 6.0, there will be other methods available as with all android devices.
How about 5.1 at least? Seems this device is neglected by Samsung. I'm having a slight buyers remorse for my Tab S 10.5. Slight...
Perhaps they'll be adding more devices as they start to roll out M updates. But if it happen that this tablet didn't make the cut, then I'm done with Samsung.
Slow down... I would be amazed if Samsung didn't update this tablet.
They still out there updating old ass phones S4, N2... Now they might not get M, but they need to upgrade anyways.
Samsung definably has their own timing when it comes to updating their gauntlet of tablets. In fact, when you look at their lineup of U.S. models, you can see their update history for their entire line of U.S. tablets are the same. With the exception of newly released tablets in the last three months, all of their other tablets still being sold are just on 5.0.2.

Samsung Gear S2

Just bought Samsung Gear S2 but cannot install the Gear Plugin (it seems that the european model isn't compatible), not even the downloadable from xda-developers.
Does anyone have an idea how to overcome this?

Galaxy S3 x Galaxy Gear

I won a Galaxy Gear (SM-V700, Tizen updated) Father's Day gift.
In order to synchronize in best way (due the official incompability with others brands), I bought a used Galaxy S3 (Android 4.3).

Can anyone help me with any tips? Firmaware, updates, etc.. to each devices...
I format and restart both devices.
Grateful to all
Francisco
