hi, I have a problem
I have a pair of gear iconx, but cannot pair with them, the phone sees the bluetooth device, connects for half a second then disconnets immediately
Also I cannot install the software samsung gear (or better, installed but the app is not compatible because finds the OS is modified). Same as the samsung gear iconx app... is there any way to solve the problem?
there is something with bluetooth that doesn't go?

Refer to my thread here if you are using a custom ROM on the S5. A slight text change in a file and then the Gear app will run.

I'm reading where the S5 has ANT+ by default and I see where the ANT+ app is installed on my S5. I also see where the Garmin heart rate monitors are listed in the supported devices via the S Health app, but I can't figure out how to get the phone to sync with my HRM? I was thinking it was under bluetooth (the same chip), but it didn't seem to find the HRM when I had BT turned on and was searching.
Anyone else have issues?

Hoping now that it's been a few days, there might be some others who have experience?
I have been using the Polar App and H7 HRM. No problems. I have also sued a Scosche HRM but I don't think either are ANT+. Have you tried using a fitness app, not the S Health, and seeing if you can pair it in the app?

I feel like an idiot now. I realized just a few moments ago that you have to pair from WITHIN the app, not from the Bluetooth screen.
Pretty straight forward once I realized that.
Same here,
I want to sync my Tacx I-genius within the Tacx Training app, but nothing happens while searching devices.
Any experiences?

So I looking around and it appears that the S5 is not mirrorlink capable in its current state (stock).
However when lollipop comes out its going to have built in mirrorlink support.
Anyone hear of this or can clarify this for me?
Mirror link is in the settings of lollipop on my s5

Without having the phone in front of me, I cannot see that. Can you please be a bit more specific about what you have and where you found it?

MirrorLink is supported now. You'll find it under "settings - connections - Connect and Share - MirrorLink".
I had my son look at his S5. It shows "screen mirroring". Is this Mirror Link? Or another software solution? You would think it would state "Mirror Link" if it was actually that software.
I was also talking to Samsung yesterday and they are saying the Lollipop push was due out already, but it should be coming any time now.

Mirrorlink is indeed on Galaxy S5 here in the uk but it wont connect with my pioneer headunit as it only supports mirrorlink 1.0 software and the S5 is 1.1 and pioneer cant or wont update the software to work with newer smartphones, it will work with an S3 but the mirroring is pretty basic tbh

It's on the S5 here in the states as well with the Lollipop upgrade. However, it doesn't work here either...at least not on a Pioneer Nex8000. It's time to start investigating other options outside Pioneer.
Mine dosn't work either. I have a VW headunit - Composition Media - and when I start MirrorLink only a black screen with a car connecting to a phone icon flashes and disappears. I'd like to debug the problem but can't connect my phone to the car and to my laptop simultaneously so I can read the logcat. How do I save the log to a file so I can read it later?
I got the operation of MirrorLink in Galaxy S5 , excuse the language , do not speak English , read-only.

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?

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?
Hello,
I want to help a friend with continuous glucose monitoring. His pomp hardware has bluetooth and it is possible to connect it to phone. But only a few phones are compatible - Iphones and a few models of Samsung. When you don't have a compatible phone application displays error.
So, I edited build.prop and application works but I can't find CGM device. I wonder why. What is a difference in bluetooth module in samsung and one plus 5? Or maybe do you know other reason why OP5 can't find this device?
BTW, here is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l&rdid=com.medtronic.diabetes.guardianconnect
Hi, does anybody knows any custom rom based on ported Pie rom that is working with Samsung Gear S3 (Classic). So far I have tried 4 or 5 most popular versions and it is not working with anyone. It is mostly stuck with pairing or connecting.
Thanks.

if you get stuck pairing or connecting, uninstall the wear app on the phone and its helper app. go to the watch and select "connect to a new phone", while its resetting, reinstall the wear apps and start again. The watches can get finicky, and the process i described is the fix, sometimes itll need to be repeated. No need to change the roms for now, i cant imagine the devs effed up the smart watch availability. I ran MOAR with a Gear 2 Neo for years and it was fine
