LG V20 and Samsung Gear Manager app - LG V20 Questions & Answers

I read that Samsung Gear Manager is available for non-Samsung devices from Google Play Store but when I tried to pair my Gear Circle and Gear S via Gear Manager app neither for those devices show up. I can see them in the bluetooth devices in my phone's settings and I paired Gear Circle with no issues then, but Gear S requires Gear Manager pairing in order to operate properly...
I tried this guide but to no avail - the app fails to find Gear devices

Anyone managed to have Gear Manager app working properly on LG V20? I'd appreciate some help with this

It's working fine for me, but I'm using it with the Gear S2, so I don't know if it is the same with those other devices

Ah this is so weird then! I tried resetting Gear S a few times but it just won't appear in the Gear Manager. Maybe the original Gear S isn't compatible with Android N just yet :S

Gear manager is for gear s2 in other android phones...

Gear Fit2 works just fine.

With my gear live I just use the - Android Wear app. Not sure if your gear is different or not.

I got the Samsung S3 Classic as a xmas gift. I installed the Samsung Gear_2.2.16101261.apk and GearManagerStub.apk on my LG v20. I was able to pair my phone and the S3. Then Google Play launched and tried to install the Gear S Plugin but it didn't and it said that my device isn't compatible with this version. Any suggestions? Do I need to install something else?

IR blaster ONLY works with Peel

Hi,
I recently got my galaxy s4 and was glad to use the ir blaster feature. It worked really well with peel remote. When I installed other APPS like universal remote and A Smart remote, it didn't work at all. I tried restarting the phone, updating it, reinstalling the app, use other APPS BUT it only and only works with peel.
My brother's note3 worked with all the APPS I had installed on my phone.
Please help. Without this, my s4 seems useless. I guess its not the fault of the APPS, its the problem with my phone or its software.
Help!
Thanks
Usually those apps might be fake or has not supported the galaxy s4

if you installed the apps from play store then it should support your device...use SURE UNIVERSAL REMOTE it works for my s4 i9500

Is it possible to install the Oculus Gear VR shop software into a Note 3?

Hi. I'd like to know if it's possible to install the Oculus Gear VR shop into a Note 3 phone. I know the Note 4 automatically downloads and install the Oculus software as soon as it's plugged into a GearVR headset, and this operation doesn't work in the Note 3. But, is there an APK somewhere that can be installed in the Note 3 to get the shop and download VR software from it to be used with a generic brand VR headset for smartphones? (not the GearVR).

Samsung S7 mirrorlink support Appradio 4

Hope someone could help me with this. I have been using an iPhone for the last 5 years and in such I have a Pioneer Appradio 4. I am trying to see if I could make the android jump and purchase a S7 edge.
My Appradio supports mirrorlink as well as Appradio live which is garbage.
What I have been reading is there is no Mhl / hdmi support on an s7. However mirrorlink is available on the phone. Is anyone able to confirm that the S7 will connect via mirrorlink on my Appradio? I have been looking everywhere for an answer but most of the stuff is for the older galaxy phones. Sorry if I'm a bit ignorant to searching android stuff I've been chained to iOS and CarPlay for too long.
*Side question-- with Miracast do you lose all connectivity to cell data?
Thanks for all the help in advance
If your Pioneer Carplay head unit supports also Android Auto you can use this method for connecting.
Miracast doesn't interfere with the phone running data connections (wifi or mobile).
Unfortunately it doesn't support android auto. Which is pretty lame.
I dont't know about your head unit, but generally Mirrorlink should work also with the Samsung S7 Edge.
Thanks for the info now my only question is will it work with ARunchained reloaded once this is set I'll be ordering my Galaxy and getting off this iOS nonsense

For that app to work it's required to root the Galaxy S7Edge.
Anyway, if you're not used with Galaxy rooting, Knox and related possible Samsung warranty limitations, you can find these information on the forum. Moreover, to be able to root you need to buy the Exynos version, not the Qualcomm 820.

Okay good I found it on the website it has the exynos processor. Once it's rooted and I change everything I should be able to run this app then? I messaged Area51 hopefully he will message back regarding it. Thanks again for all the info and help.

Yes it works
I can confirm you that Galaxy S7 works with mirrorlink and the AppRadio 4. The sound and video quality are simply perfect. I have been using MHL before with Sony Xperia and ARU, mirrorlink is better. The only issues are the restrictions that mirrorlink implements in the navigation, no recent apps none slide notifications, etc. Hope some friend could mod "Samsung Mirriorlink.app" to break freee these limitations but also in the current situation i recomend you to use mirrorlink with Galaxuy S7 because as I said, the stability and quality are just perfect.
appradio 4 mirror link

so it will only work with rooting your s7 edge? if so how do I root my s7 edge? I to want to use mirrorlink with the sph-da120
I Just installed the SPH-120 and I can only get my Galaxy s7 to connect to blue tooth. Tried the developer mode with USB debugging, Switched to MTP configurations, and both USB ports along with multiple APPS. and I cannot get it to connect.
When I connect to the second USB port, Both the phone and radio attempt to connect but the phone screen shuts off and the radio says incompatible USB (original cable).
Hi how do you connect wich cables you use to get it working like you say?

I just created an account here so I can add a reply in case anyone struggles to get MirrorLink to work. I got an SPH-DA120 to work with my Samsung S7 Edge. I went through the same process of connecting the phone, seeing the connected message on the phone screen, and then the SPH-DA120 screen says "Incompatible USB." I thought it was an error but it was simply my failure to understand MirrorLink. You have to first get a certified MirrorLink app on your phone and then choose the home button (or whatever it is...looks like a Windows 7 start menu) and your certified MirrorLink apps will show up there. When you choose the USB/Ipod2 source the HU will always say "Incompatible USB." In my case I used RockScout, which then gives you access to everything on the phone by selecting a "Choose Source" option--that mirrors your phone's screen and provides a gateway to everything on your phone.
Maybe this process is common knowledge about MirrorLink but I spent way too much time googling this and trying random things to get the phone to connect. Something else worth noting is you need a high quality USB cable. The HU seems fine with USB extensions (even cheap ones) but it requires a high quality cable to connect to the phone. Some work, some don't. Not even all Samsung cables work.
One more thing...I actually contacted Pioneer's customer support to get assistance with this. To my surprise they replied to my initial email within an hour. That's impressive for customer support at a large company like that. Admittedly I figured out that the USB cable was the problem shortly after I sent the email but the quick response from them was nice.
Can somebody confirm if a non rooted Galaxy S7 can MirrorLink using rockscout while in motion using the 7000nex soft touch bypass? Trying to mirror every app and function while in motion using the nex. This includes YouTube, Google maps, chrome etc
Great information here. I just started driving a Jeep with appradio 4 in it . I have a galaxy s8 plus. Any advice what to do?
Still stuck with my note 8. Stock android Mirrorlink works but very limited. I tried with rockscout, button savior, LG mirrordrive app etc to screen mirror my phone but n way. The only fault is with Messenger pop-up showing nicely on my car screen. So I tried rooting my phone with magisk and hide my root but the Mirrorlink app is not working anymore. When connected to my phone it says authentification not valid... and the database is no more the same when I want to add some apps in pkgnames...
Hi,
I have problem with mirrorlink pioneer sph-da110 with galaxy s7 edge when I connet via usb I see mirrorlink in appradio. I click in mirrorlink then I see Lg Mirrordrive an I choose this after that I have dark screen and nothing else happens. Somebody can help my where is problem?

Moto Z Force with Samsung Gear 2 Neo?

Got my new Moto Z Force yesterday and loving it so far except for a few little quirks... The biggest of which is that it will not connect to my Samsung Gear 2 Neo. I can get it to connect via Bluetooth, but when trying to connect it using Gear Manager the app just doesn't see it (even when already connected via BT). I have heard that some people have gotten this to work, but for 2 days have been unable to find a fix. I've gone so far as to start downloading older versions of the Samsung Gear app and try them one by one. I was able to get the 2.1.5 versions to see it, but when they tried connecting I got "Download failed, try again".
Has anyone had any success with this, or seen the problem and found a fix? I would really hate to have to give up my Gear, I've grown to love it.
Thanks in advance.

Samsung Watch 5pro does not connect to Samsung wearable app

I just brought used Samsung watch 5pro and it does not connect to Samsung Wearable app. I called Samsung Canada said the watch was not in US or Canada. They could not help. I reset the watch few times and the watch started go to country, time zone and time. The watch did not detect the samsung wearable app. Do you guys know how to fix it. Is this dipalay model ?
Thanks advance.
Try a network reset.
I tried reset many times and Hard reset. My Samsung worked with different Samsung 5pro watch.
Do I need to flash the Samsung Watch 5pro firmware ?
I would return it for a full refund.
Contact the bank if purchased with a Visa or MC about doing a charge back if necessary.

Meh, never do that... always use a card.
CL is high risk in a number of ways.
You can take them to small claims court if they refuse to refund your money.
I had a hole afternoon trying to pair my Watch 5 4g bought from EU with mi Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra from china.
After a lot of reading what worked for me was to sideload the samsung apps 3 from apk mirror or so...Install wearOS app from china.
- Paired the watch first with wearOS then the process gets stuck on about 60% open bluetooth setting and if the watch is already paired open Samsung wear app
After that and with a lot of tries managed to activate. Just had to skip samsung singin to health and so because it crashed and turn of wifi after the second phase because watch lost connection.
It's not the sam escenario but I think it will be possible...
I bought a galaxy watch 5 pro with Chinese firmware. they didn't want to connect to galaxy wearable. it said that the device does not support each other. I found instructions on 4pda. I will attach the link below or in private messages. the old version of galaxy wearable is installed there, the clock is connected, it is updated and everything works, except for the Google account.
