So I went back to Null Rom 23 from Tizen because I got an Iphone 6 and wanted to at least use the watch with it somehow or other. This is probably a real dumb question(Most of mine are) but how Do I get past the screen at boot up where it is looking for a Samsung Phone with gear manager on it> I saw in a Video from "didi" I believe where his gear watch boots straight to the home screen without the annoying "play screen" showing how to connect watch to gear manager. Thank you all very much for answering my stupid questions... I did try and search forums for an answer but no luck. - DjSkipEllis
I try it before to connect my GG with iphone via bluetooth and it works.
But the problem is u can use it as a phone only not fully sync as u use samsung phone
and now im still try to figure it out how to fully sync it.
Hi guys, I have been having an issue with the watch not being able to connect with my phone whilst being paired- not sure if its a watch specific issue or phone issue,
The bluetooth works fine will all other devices: car/speakers they will pair + connect automatically.
However, when i try to connect with my watch, there is no problem in pairing the devices (the code thing what not) but after the pairing, the devices wont connect automatically, and whenever i try to connect the devices, i dont get any response from the phone. E.g., if i tap on my paired devices with my speaker, it will try to connect and shows "connecting..." but if i tap on the watch, nothing happens, not even an attempt to connect, simply stays at not connected. I removing the pairing and resetting the watch, as well as restarting both devices, but issue still persists. Unsure if this is a problem with my phone or the watch itself, as the phone has no problems with connecting with other devices. Havent been able to try the pairing the watch with a different phone (i dont have a spare phone i can try connecting with atm, but will try that later on in the week by borrowing a phone off friend.)
Issue is even stranger considering i had no problems using the watch with this exact phone beforehand, (i just stopped using it for about 6 months because i lost my watch charging station and i couldnt be bothered to get a replacement until now.....)
The watch has been updated to the latest version, and the phone in question is galaxy alpha, running android 5.0.2
Thanks guys.
same here.....i did not find a solution
Well, that isn't entirely true.
I'm trying to connect my Gear Live to my Galaxy S7. While the phone and watch do connect (or at least, my phone will say it's connect, both on bluetooth and on android wear), the watch can't connect to the Internet for whatever download it has to make right now. I've tried it with my phone connected to WiFi and with mobile data, and neither have worked. I have tried resetting both my phone and my watch and neither have worked.
Any help?
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
I have an Active 2, Wifi version SM-R820 paired with a Huawei P40 pro. Remote connection in Galaxy Wearable is on and the samsung account is logged in.
But if connected to wifi only, as standalone, there are no notifications.
With BT everything is working almost fine, because sometimes I found the watch disconnected from BT, I have to open the Galaxy Wearable app and after it connects automatically.
Any ideas?
Problem solved.
I have to unckeck "manage automatically" from Settings - Battery - App launch the apps:
Galaxy wearable, Samsung accessory service, Galaxy active 2 plugin, Samsung Health.

What do you mean by "download or update anything"?
In remote connection mode you can only receive notifications and use the Find watch and phone functions.

That's the way it's been designed, I think. WiFi on the watch is only meant to connect to your phone "remotely", when Bluetooth connection fails. In the remote connection mode you only can receive notifications and use some basic stuff like Find my watch etc. Open your Galaxy Wearable app on your phone when the watch is connected through WiFi and you'll see most functionality is greyed out.
Solved, I tried it with another wifi network and it works perfect, thanks !!!!!
