I was using these both with my S10+ and all worked fine until i switched to Pixel 4 XL.
Galaxy Watch: when i receive what's app notification on watch, it doesn't show me the profile picture of the person on the notification, only name shows. Worked fine with S10+.
Galaxy Buds: i had set-up to read out summary of Texts, What's app received on my buds while i am listening to music. This doesn't work with Pixel4, but worked fine with my S10+.
Is that the eco-system thing or what?
I have galaxy buds paired to my Pixel 4 XL, they play fine but does not read messages even though the option is enabled. Not a big deal for me. They will hopefully fix in an update. Could be a Windows 10 thing since Samsung is still on 9
Yeah, I think it’s an eco-system thingy. Google needs to release this overly rumored pixel watch!

Have you installed "Galaxy Wearable" from the Play Store?
Because it would help!

Yes, that is required to operate the watch and buds
I have both watch and buds, so far no issues with my Pixel 4 XL
So, when you receive a whats app message, you do see the profile picture of the sender on your Galaxy watch? Kindly confirm.
S3 Frontier here paired with Pixel 4 XL via Gear Wearable app. Can confirm I see profile pic however I run Textra and Signal. It depends which app you use from what I've seen. Some apps will pass profile pic with notifications others won't. Could be an issue with native messenger?

I have been given the galaxy gear, my mate loves the note 3 but didn't want the watch,
I currently have the iPhone 5 and is the gear slightly compatible with it,
the gear is sealed so I don't want to open it, if its of no use,
I have a 5S coming in a weeks time should I be better of getting rid of it and getting a S4 or hold on and wait for the nexus as that will be running the latest version of android so will that be better off,
my last option is swapping the watch for a android watch which looks exactly the same as the omate truesmart, same specs apart from a 3mp camera and 2 screws on the sim slot,
mate bought it back from a trip to china where it cost $150
Would love to keep it but not sure about how it will work with the nexus once release, S4 being my 2nd choice but then thinking will that be a step backwards with buying a phone which has been out for a while now

Won't work with the iPhone. Will work with the Note 3, and S4 and other compatible samsung devices coming soon.
Best bet for the iPhone would be the Pebble, but even it has problems right now with iOS and staying connected to the phone.

I sold my pebble already,
So the gear will only work with samsung devices??
I thought devices with android 4.3 would be compatible,
Looks like I would need to buy a S4 then,
Bought most of the smartwatches now and the gear is the best looking one,

Yes for now until someone possibly hacks things, it only works with Samsung 4.3 phones.
I have a Pebble too and prefer the Gear by a wide margin (mostly due to looks and the SVoice capabilities and apps).

Nope, using the Note 3.
why dont you just get the note 3 or the s4 with snapdragon 800?
Mostly TouchWiz is needed, then 4.3
It will work as a Bluetooth headset with any device

I did see the I9506 / E330,
But don't see any uk sellers for that phone right now,
Note 3 is just too big for me
I bought a Gear 2 Neo today to use with Endomondo. I've got the phone paired ok with my S4 Mini, installed the gear app and I've downloaded a couple of new clock faces etc. so all seems to be working fine there. But, I can't find the Endomondo companion app on the Gear store. I've tried a few different searches but so far nothing...
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Never mind, I've just had the following reply from Endomondo:
'thank you very much for contacting us.
We are aware of this issue in regards to pairing your Gear 2 with you S4 mini as we are waiting to hear back from Samsung on this regard.
I will get back to you as soon as there is an update.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Regards'
Great; Endomondo hyping their app on Gear 2 and confirm the S4 Mini is compatible, but it looks like I'll have to wait. Annoying seeing that the fact it 'works' with Endomondo (an app I've used for years) was the reason I bought the smartwatch in the first place...
Now that Note 5 is officially announced, I am trying to find some official/semi-official information on whether Note 4 Gear VR will be compatible with Note 5? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Osho
Of course not. Different sizes, they told they are about to release a. New compatible version for them
Honestly they are the same size...I don't see why it wouldn't work. My friend just got his note 5 today so I will give it a try in my Note 4 Gear VR

They never said that exactly. They told us to wait for Oculus Connect before buying a new phone, so that could mean no Gear VR for the Note 5 if they decide on announcing a VR phone.
What about Note Edge?
Will any VR work with note edge either Glaxay Vr or Innovator edition?
Any trick....!

No support for the Note Edge.
Got my note 5 and have been trying to connect it to the gear VR (Note 4 version). I got the oculus apps installed (ported from my Note 4 using Samsung smart switch), but the micro usb connector on the gear vr has a bump on it which stops anything other than the Note 4 from connecting. I looked inside the Note 4 micro usb port and I can see a notch to accommodate the bump. So Samsung succeeded in making a standardized connector into a proprietary one. *Hurray!*
Anyway, I then bought a micro usb extender cable and cut the notch into it myself. Still a no go. The extender doesn't fit on all the way (only about 4/5 the way). It seems like the female end on the Note 4 not only has a notch, but is also deeper *Hurray again!*
I tried connecting the Note 4 with the extender anyway, but couldn't get it to enter the oculus app. My last thought is to file down the bump on the gear vr connector. My only concern is that the bump is required to engage something on the Note 4. Definitely don't want to make a $200 mistake.
Has anyone tried shaving this bump down? Or has anyone heard of someone trying this?
Update: I filed down the bump and got the Note 5 to fit. Unfortunately, nothing happened. I'll try again after the official firmware update. However, I also tried the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge with no luck and those do have the firmware needed so it looks like there is a software lock preventing anything other than the Note 4 from working. The good news is that the Note 4 still fits and works :thumb: I'll be posting about this on the Techisode TV channel if anyone wants to see images and video of the process.
Update 2: video uploaded.
How about changing build prop. Wonder if it checks build prop for verification. Also wonder if there was any vr apps already pre-installed before you sidesynced anything. If so try using vr setup wizard. Then again the S6 didn't work so probably no go. Could be a kernel thing. That's what delayed the lollipop update back then for devices with gear vr software.

What a pity Galaxy Note 5 not work with Gear VR.
This isnt too bad of a Necro, but curious if anyone had any other trys with this
I don't think anyone else is going to bother now that the latest Gear VR iteration got confirmed yesterday at Oculus Connect, with Note 5 and S6e+ support along with the smaller S6 variants. At least the Note 5 can do Gear VR after all.
If anything, what might make me curious is the inverse: taking that recent Gear VR iteration, when it hits store shelves, and checking to see if the Note 4 acknowledges it at all. I'm guessing not, since it's not officially supported and the USB descriptor probably won't match up enough for the Gear VR Service to do its thing.
I hope the Note 4 works with the new gear VR. I don't like the direction Samsung is going with there product support and I don't like the Note 5. The gear VR for the Note 4 clearly has issues that have been resolved with subsequent versions. It's extremely disappointing Samsung most likely will ignore and forget the Note 4, especially even more disappointing since it's the device that started this VR evolution.
I'm guessing it doesn't not work on the note 5?

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/tmobile-advanced-messaging-sms/
According to T-Mobile, the first device to launch with Advanced Messaging is the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, which is available for purchase today for $190 outright or $7.92 a month for 23 months and (to be absolutely exact) $7.83 for the final month. By the time we reach the end of 2015, T-Mobile will have “nearly a dozen more” devices that will include the feature. For owners of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6, however, they will also receive Advanced Messaging through a software update sometime in the near future.
My Note 5 has the feature.... I think. Its hard to say cause I haven't messaged anyone who has a compatible phone with advanced messaging.
The weird thing is when I had my S6 edge I was running the leaked Note 5 rom and the advanced messaging showed when my brother who had a Note 5 with Sprint was typing, read my messages etc. But when I got my Note 5 it doesn't do that anymore. You even have stickers etc when you are texting someone who has a phone capable of advanced messaging also.

Works just fine for me. My wife and I have the note 5. When she texts me and vice versa we can see the other is typing... Similar to hangouts.

My wife had the note 5 and I have the 5. Doesn't work
Has anyone figured out that the deal is with this feature? Me and my wife both have the Note 5, and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Kinda seems like it had a mind of its own and works when it wants to
Has anyone here tried the Samsung Galaxy Buds with the P20 Pro? Does it work well?
I'm considering buying them but I have concerns regarding the bluetooth codec compatability and the difference in bluetooth versions.
There was a review published by The Verge yesterday for the Galaxy Buds - they don't seem all that tbh.
Might be worth looking at something else?

I have them since yesterday. They use AAC on the P20 pro (even though thats not a supported codec according to Huawei's spec sheet) and seem to work fine so far. No connection drop outs if I am in the proximity of my phone. Pairing was easy with the Samsung Wearable app.

I watched the video too. I used the Taotronics BH-026 (bluetooth but not truly wireless) until I got the buds. Sound quality is similar as long as you activate the dynamic equalizer in the app. Cannot say if thats a good thing or not since I am comparing them to 20 € headphones.
I dont think the ambient sound mode is not as "roboty" as the verge says but more a gimic than a useful feature. The microphones seem to do an acceptable job with a recording app but I have not tried to do an extended phone call with them.
