So I have a galaxy s8 and im looking to buy a new watch to go with it.
The galaxy gear s3 is looking like the most appealing option BUT. Since my galaxy s8 is rooted and has KNOX tripped, I cant use samsung pay on my phone. Does this mean I wont be able to use samsung pay on my watch too?
Or alternatively, will I just be able to use android pay instead of samsung pay on the gear s3?
No
If your phone is rooted you are unable to use android pay unless it was rooted (KNOX tripped) but no longer rooted. Then Samsung pay won't work but android pay will however gear apps (Tizen OS apps) do not have an app for android pay if you want that get a android watch OS watch.
In my option they don't look as good as gears so I cope with just using android pay from my phone since the phone has to be on me for the apps to work anyway.

"The galaxy gear s3"
this isnot the forum for s3
I'm looking to buy a new smart watch. I currently have a rooted Note 8, so I know Samsung Pay won't work on the phone. But if I purchase a Gear S3, and leave it unrooted, will Samsung Pay work on the watch?
I don't think Samsung Pay will work on your Gear S smartwatch as Samsung Pay needs to be linked to your cell first before it can be linked to your Gear S.

I have n stock Note 8 and stock Gear S3.
Both not rooted.
I have Samsung Pay installed on my Note 8,
working fine.
I had to install Samsung Pay app and then Samsung Pay app, updates to install the Samsung Pay framework.
Further
if you got a Gear S3,
it requires a Samsung Pay Gear "plug in" app (dependant) on
Samsung Pay Framework on the Note 8.
On top of that, your Gear S3 firmware must also be
updated for watch to work.
My issue is, that Samsung has not updated my Gear S3
firmware for my Region (CSC).
So my Gear S3 cannot do Samsung Pay.
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.
Title: Galaxy S9 series and Galaxy Note 9 should update to One UI 3.x with Android 11.
On that terrible day, Samsung anounced the update plan for One UI 3, 4, and 5. Samsung Galaxy S10 series, S20 series, Note10 series, Note20 series, Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z series users leaped with joy, but Galaxy S9 series and Note9 users hung their head low, because the "2 Major Updates Only" curse was still on us. All Galaxy S9, S9+, and Note9 users are disappointed by Samsung for this reasonless decision, for not provided Android 11 for a fully capable flagship device.
Both Galaxy S9 and Note9 is equipped with Exynos 9810 or Snapdragon 845 chipset, which has 10-nm Octa-Core 4x2.7-2.8 GHz+4x1.7-1.8GHz. They have epic specs, which can only be challenged by Huawei Mate20 in 2018. It is not hard to provide a full 1TB hard disk of evidence to prove that the three 2018 flagships can easily run Android 11. For example, they are fully treble compliant, which means, they have enough specs to run latest Android as long as Project Treble is alive; and it has better specs than Galaxy A01 except the camera, as A01 has 12nm Quad-Core 4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.45 GHz Cortex A53 chipset, and Galaxy A01 is in the list of One UI 3.0 update, WHICH MEANS THAT ONE UI 3.X UPDATE PLAN IS BIASED. And a low specs camera is not even possible to be a visible obstacle in the path of Android 11 update. It is astonishing, for Samsung to say that biased words on Galaxy Unpacked. Why? Simply our phone got out the box with Oreo? No. I mean it is not our fault to launch Oreo with S9, S9+ and Note9. Especially for Galaxy Note9, it is Samsung's fault. Samsung can wait one week or two, and launch Note9 with Pure Android 9+GMS, and add One UI as soon as it is ready by OTA. It is no need to launch with Oreo and toture us when Android 11 is released. This terrible decision forces us to either stay on Android 10, which is nothing but the same OS as a crappy 28nm Nokia C3, or go to custom roms which voids Knox and warranty, requires quite an amount of computer knowledge and is very easy to brick your device with one click.
We only ask Samsung to push One UI 3.x, AT LEAST ONE UI 3.0 CORE, based on Android 11 to Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note9, which has the certain right to update to Android 11. We are all going to sign this petition, not only the carriers of a Galaxy S9/Note9/S9+, but also anyone, who has their rage ignited due to the biased Samsung update policy. There is absolutely a piece of cake, as S9, S9+ And Note9 does not have custom resolution for both screen and camera, and Android 10 to Android 11 is not an enormous update, not like Windows XP update to 10. One man with a spare hour or two after work can do this in three months if enough knowledge. We strongly demand Galaxy S9 series And Note9 to update to Android 11, globally and stably.
If you have any recommendations of modifing this petition please tell me by replying. If no I will try my best to release at end of September. Thank you!
This marks the 8th petition for the same thing.
This is Pointless
How many times are y'all gonna make the same bogus petition for the same thing? If you want the newer upgrades get the devices that will get them undoubtedly or just stop whining. The note 9 isn't new or in it's prime anymore. Just stop
I already made such a petition and it's nice to see so many people supporting it. Here's the link, feel free to sign it: https://www.change.org/p/samsung-give-android-11-oneui-3-0-to-galaxy-note9-s9-phones
It will not work guys
Don't worry android 11 will be portwd from s10 lite for our devices 100% . If we have a good developer. I don't know cuz I didnt test any roms yet. I stick to official
Feels like we need to have this same conversation once every smartphone generation. Recap:
Breathing life into old electronics is not good business. Samsung is a business, they're in it for the money. Introducing new features for old phones will not sell new hardware; if anything, it will cause Samsung to sell less new hardware. Less sales means less revenue. That's why it's bad for business.
Developing software for additional platforms consumes more resources; resources which could be used for advancing development of newer hardware, and better software for said newer hardware. Again, why waste resources into something that will cause you to sell fewer next-gen phones?
Let me reiterate. Samsung is a business. They will not make poor business decisions to benefit users who hang on to old hardware instead of buying new hardware. End of story.
