I was wondering if anyone has both of these watches connected to there Note 3 running KK. I got the Neo working after some work arounds but can't add the Galaxy Gear to the phone. I turn the Neo off then try searching for new devices but Gear Manager just closes. I see the Galaxy Gear in the list of Bluetooth devices so I'm not sure what's going on. I have the latest version of Gear Manager installed. Any help would be great...

Hi,
I have installed omnirom 4.4.4 for my Samsung note 2 (N7100) and had no issues with the rom except for the Bluetooth Connectivity.I am able to connect to Bluetooth device or send any file to other devices through bluetooth but the problem is if I place any hard surface between the devices my note 2 stops responding to the bluetooth connections like pauses sending the files till the device is in direct contact with the other device.
Hope i am clear with the problem. Requesting for a resolution on it.
Thanks..
hi guys
i need ur help. please
i have this sm-g9287 (edge+ dual) and a gear s2. both of them have the latest firmware. (G9287ZHU1AOI1 + R720XXU2AOIL)
my problem is that i cannot pair those two devices via gear manager and because that i cannot use my watch with or without my phone.
but i can pair via settings/BT (phone). and my watch, again, is useless.
please tell me what to do. is so frustrating this situation ...
thanks
Ordered the 6P last night, who knows when it will arrive. Wanted to see if anyone has paired a Gear S with the device to see how it works, what features don't work, etc. I currently have a Gear S paired with my Galaxy Note Edge.
I would like to know this as well. I have my 6P, and I am thinking about buying the Gear S.
I kind of got it working. Issue: if it's connected via bluetooth to your phone, any incoming calls you answer are through the watch (although incoming calls display on both devices). So, for now, I have bluetooth turned off. Since the watch has its own number, that's the only way to receive/make calls if you're not connected to your phone. I'm trying an SMS forwarding app so that text messages go to the watch as well as the phone, however the text shown on the watch comes from your phone's number, not who originally sent the text. Basically, I have the watch as a stand-alone device. The Gear Manager app doesn't work although you can get it installed on the phone..........just doesn't find the watch. There's a way to get your watch past the screen that says "use the Gear App to connect". On that screen you see an icon of the watch, tap on that about 25 or so times until you see the bluetooth message, afterwards, press and hold that watch icon until the next message appears and you're ready to go.
Question for anybody using any of the other ROMs, will the Gear S work with any of the rooted custom roms?
I got a gear s2 working on my Nexus 6P rooted rom
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Free mobile app
Were you able to have it working prior to rooting?

I'm on a stock, bootloader locked 6P and have a Gear S2 working perfectly with it. However, there's a caveat. When I first got the watch, it pairs up just fine, but there's an update that you're prompted to take but can't because the phone is encrypted. What you need to do in that case is pair it with a phone that's on the Gear S2 supported list (http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/), in my case a Nexus 6 that's stock and encrypted, take the update, then reset the watch and pair it with the 6P again. If you don't have this update, any time the watch and 6P become disconnected, whether because they're out of range of each other or because you intentionally disconnect them, you have to reset the watch and pair it again. After this update, that's fixed.
It seems odd because both the 6P and Nexus 6 I have are encrypted, but because the Nexus 6 is on the list of compatible devices, it works while the 6P has the connection issue without this update. But simply pairing the watch with any of the phones on the compatibility list above, taking the update, then resetting the watch and pairing it with the 6P again fixes this.
Other than that issue, the Gear S2 works flawlessly? Receives notifications for email, text, calendar reminders, phone calls, etc.?
Would pairing it to my son's Galaxy S4 receive the Gear S2 update?
I tried the workaround in the Gear S forum, and couldn't get it to work. I wonder if Gear Manager needs to be updated for 6.0?
If there isn't a fix soon, I will probably sell my Gear S.
The Gear Manager app was updated for Android 6.0., but appears they only have it working for the Gear S2, not the Gear S.

As far as I'm aware, the gear s is only designed to work with galaxy devices. I had the gear s2 & had nothing but problems with it. The disconnect>reset bug did my head in. Wasn't worth the hassle in the end. Got rid of it to a mate who has a Samsung phone & bought the Sony smartwatch 3 instead. I'm happy, he's happy. Everybody's happy.
Does the Sony Smartwatch 3 have a speaker?
