I've been trying all morning to connect my s21 ultra to my gear s3...to no luck...I know Samsung has discontinued support for S2 and earlier but I don't remember the S3 being on the list?? Anyone else successfully pair an old S3 to this phone??
Yes, I was immediately successful. You need to factory reset your watch then the S21 should automatically find it and ask you if you want to connect to it. I don't think I even had to manually go into the app. It just finds it and works. I have both an S3 and the Galaxy Watch and both connected perfectly fine.
If you use Android 11 and the Duraspeed is available, try disabling Duraspeed.
I noticed that duraspeed caused disconnections between my phone and my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier or if I was away from my phone, my watch would disconnect and never reconnect.
Disabling Duraspeed solved the problem.
(Note : I tried disabling Duraspeed for anything related to my watch or Samsung, but this did not work)

Hi Guys any of you encountered getting stuck on Samsung Gear manager when tryin to connect to Samsung gear 1? Im on DN3 V5 Rom with Agni Kernel and I have Samsung gear 1 running Tizen. I tried clearing Rom/Cache/Dalvic, reinstall gear manager app a couple of times including from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686. I reset my gear which makes it unusable it can pair through bluetooth.
Before reinstalling gear manager did u try force closing it and reconnecting? That usually fixed it for Me. Worth a try it. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to connect to my phone
Thanks for your suggestion. Ive tried that already but it just stays connecting.My bluetooth detected and paired my Gear with no problem.

Make sure your build.prop DOES NOT claim your device is a Samsung. (and reboot for reverted build.prop to take an action) That fixed an issue for me

I have the same issue with a BQ M5, and One Plus One too. The gear manager was working before with both phones, but when I upgraded gear firmware with first the BQ , gear manager doesn't connect anymore. Then I reset my watch, delete apps, clean mobile... restart... etc with no luck. I try to install old firmware and an old gear manager app (the one that worked before with this phone and gear firmware) and same result, stuck on "connecting...". This has happend with both phones after they both upgraded firmware on the gear s2 using gear manager. I think it's something with the upgrade process, that makes the gear manager unusable on the phone that downloads and performs the upgrade on the watch. I have to initialize the gear with a friends phone so that I can almost see the time...
searched the internet for a solution but same issue is happening already with Samsung phones to some people.
If someone have any clue on how to debug or try to trace this bug, any suggestion will be appreciated.
hello everybody,
untill last week my gear was working fine, but 2 days ago i wanted to flash null_rom because i was interested in the function on internet bluetooth tethering
i flashed the rom, i connect the gear to my note 3 ( rom s5 ported) and all was working fine, except for the fact that i couldn't use bluetooth tethering.. i don't know why!
so i decided to wipe all and reflash the rom from recovery. Then i reboot the watch and i tried to reconnect phone and gear, and i couldn't! i opened gear manager, find my gear e and paired with my device: the phone said "connecting to gear" and on the watch there was the symbols of connction between the devices.. the gear stuck on this but my phone said that was connected, but i couldn't use the watch beacuse i had always the animation of connecting devices on the gear!
i didn't know what to do, so i decided to reflash the last firmware for gear (android 4.2.2 nc1, not tizen, i don't want it!). Now the problem is worse, i think, because the gear and phone try to connect but the phone says that "the base that i tried to connect could be wrong :/ , while the gear doesn't show nothing! i have always the 2 icon of demostration of connection by bluetooth or nfc: when i try to pair the devices, both phone and watch vibrate and show the code of pairing, i accept in both of device but nothing happens! could someone help me? i also tried to unpair the devices and downgrading the gear manager to reconnect devices, but the older gear manager says that i have to upgrade the software of the gear, but i don't want tizen at all! i like android
Help me please!!
Did u use custom rom on your note 3 ? If yes try to reinstall back that rom and if still cannot then u must use original stock rom before can sync with your GG.
Hope this can give u little bit idea..... peace
Hi guys, i hace this galaxy gear since november 2016
when it came i couldnt use it to pair my phone, i tried with an S7 and it didnt work, i used the stand alone mode and made it able to pair only for phone calls and sync contacts, but sometimes works and some times not.
when i factory reset the gear i get this message
"failed to connect to your gear try to connect via samsung gear refer to the manual for more information"
i know it works but i dont know if its the software version 2.2.1.3
i tried the ATT device unlock if it has something to do but in google doesnt says anything about the conectivity issue.
the bluetooth works with any android but not with my samsung or related, the website says its compatible gear s1
i give up i hope i can get answers
My Samsung Gear S3 does not connect with my Mi 8 device. When I try it with Gear manager, it was connected well but suddenly it was disconnected. I think, there is a bluetooth issue.
Are there any people have this issue?
Same problem Samsung S3 Frontier and Xiaomi Mi 8 won't connect
I'm having the same problem with my Xiaomi Mi 8. The moment I try to synch the watch with Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, the app crashes and I can't reopen it.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Also have tried activating all permissions in the app settings, even tried the same for Samsung Gear Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service.
and did you deactivate any battery saver functionality in miui?

Did you reset your s3 to factory?
After you reset, unpair,reboot phone and gear
Now it will show up again.
I had the same issue, if it still doesnt open, you have to give more permissions to gear s..
That did the trick for me, and yes you also need to do for samsung accessoir services
Good luck
Im having tje same problem but with my Mi 8 se. When it attempts to pair and connect at setup, the app just closes....
Ive tried all the solutions above but not success. Im not sure if im missing swthing here. I
same problems here, with Mi max 3 and Gear S3 - Miui 10 (8.8.23)
Gear S PlugIn crash at startup
Samsung wearables app does not appear in Xiaomi mi8
Apart from the Bluetooth connection problems, the Samsung wearables app is not downloading from the Google play store displaying the message "version not compatible with this device". Guys, "ok Google" command does not work, Netflix app does not work, and now Samsung wearables app is not working either. I am putting my Mi8 for sale right now. If this is a strategy from Xiaomi, I can assure it is suicidal!
Problem Solved - Can connect my gear S2 to my Mi 8 lite again
I have updated all three applications to latest version.
1. Galaxy wearble 2. Gear S2 plugin and 3. Samsung accessory service
I give all android permissions in the setting menu of these three apps.
And, I set the battery optimization to "no restrictions" for all three apps.
And, boom. I can now connect my phone again to my Gear S2.
My android version is 9 pie and my MIUI is 10.3.5 global and my phone is not rooted.
Welcome back my galaxy.
PS. You need to update the galaxy wearable first and then Galaxy wearable will automatically download the suitable gear s plug in for the watch.
thanks for solution... its work (set the battery optimization to "no restrictions" for all three apps)
now i can use gear s3 on my Mi 9
Make sure Galaxy Wearable is installed too

I have a Redmi 8 running Android 10 MIUI Global 11.0.2 and a Samsung Watch. I gave the apps all permissions but it still didn't detect from Samsung Health -> Settings -> Accessories. I think the BT actually did pair but Samsung Health did not take it further. I went into BT settings and told it to unpair.
In my case, Galaxy Wearable (used to be call Samsung Gear) is somehow missing from the Google Play Store. The Galaxy Watch Plugin is available though but after installing, it would hide so I cannot run it. The same happens with Samsung Accessories Service. Looking into Settings -> App Settings, the apps show up as installed.
I ended up extracting the Galaxy Wearable APK from my old phone (a SONY) using APK Extractor, selecting it from ES Explorer, and then sending it through Bluetooth to my Redmi 8, installing it from APK. Then I ran Galaxy Wearable and was able to pair it with the watch. I lost my downloaded watch faces in the process though. Good luck.
Hello All.
I'm quite new in this Tizen world. don't know if someone worked to make it work.
Is there any way to switch my paired GWA2 from Samsung phone, where it loads the SO with the plenty of apps and health options like ecg an bp, to iPhone, without wipe and loose all "Samsung Exclusive" options?
I know it is not possible to do it the regular way. I'm able to pair my watch with Samsung and change it to iPhone, but it didn't get anything from there, like notification and even connection with the Samsung watch app, exception by receiving calls, cause it is done by different bt connection.
Is the only option using the watch as an standalone device in such case?
You will loose the BP,ECG but there is a tutorial step by step how to install them back in your phone manual,if you are worried about your achivements and other STATS they are saved in your account (samsung one)so make sure you log in with the correct details
Thanks for answering @oache . However, this is exactly what im trying to avoid. Even disconnecting from bluetooth via shell, when I connect to the iphone, it shows connected through the bluetooth (both connections), but completely dead, no traffic at all and Galaxy watch app on iphone can't see the connected watch.
