Hi
First of all I'm interested with smartwatches but waited for HTC MAYBE to reveal new smartwatch but I guess it will release later on this year so by then I'm checking other companies like Samsung and Sony Smartwatches
Does any one checked that the new Sony Smartwatch 2 is connecting with HTC One Max or the New Samsung Gear Fit ?
Its really matter of discussion

I have the Samsung Note 2 and can tell you that Samsung Gear is compatible only with a few Samsung devices. There's the Pebble which is great and a few others that are out now that'll work though...
TappEd from my Note II
Check out my website for encouragement....

Well Samsung smart watches only work with Samsung devices. Sony's is pretty cool and hackable. I think my pebble is the best, but I'm probably biased since i did purchase it.
I would wait for the android wear smart watches to start coming out, htc was announced as a partner i believe. The moto 360 looks cool as hell.

Get the Pebble or Pebble Steel.. Best bang for buck! Plus it's "WATER PROOF"..
My wife and I both have had one for a while and love it.

I'd vote for Android Wear being used by various manufacturers. That said, I've seen bluetooth conflicts with Sense 5.5 and prior (haven't tried 6 yet), and would lean towards one made by HTC. Whichever you may choose, check for their supported devices to be sure.
Main issue I have with samsung's are that they are more or less useless... You still have to use your phone for a lot. Its almost like a pager you can take pics and calls with. Most notifications still require phone... Pebble is nice. Hopefully the android wear concept gets HTC backing. But in all reality for me... Its not really needed. That being said I'm not a watch wearer.

i think this is software issue only
UPDATE:
It's working after connected to samsung note 3 then connect it back to my Max
I tried the next day to connect the samsung galaxy gear 2 but its not connecting maybe its required a custom rom for it and install pre install samsung apps

Is Samsung even going to release any accessories for the Tab 2 tablets? I know no one here can answer that. Looking at the original Tab accessories I thought they would be doing the same for the new Tabs too. I'm beginning to think I thought wrong.
Any thoughts or guesses?
My thoughts exactly! I'm desperately looking for a keyboard-case and I really prefer original stuff. So Samsung, what the hell is going on?

Well I do believe the car charger is on the website. Months after the release and all we have are accessories left over from the first series of Tabs. Got a feeling that we will not see any till the Note is about to be released ... If at all.
So Samsung can't offer us any accessories for our Tab 2's but now the Tab 2 7.0 Student edition can now be purchased with a keyboard. There is no keyboard on their site claiming to brew compatible with the tab so I guess it's new. Any idea? I have been waiting on a keyboard for this tablet for my wife.

It is a portrait dock. There's a model on Samsung's site that looks like this stock burr listed as being only compatible with only one of the older tablets. This means there's it's something coming for the reassert ours us. Finally.
Portrait is a little cheesy. Almost faster to use Swype in portrait mode. A keyboard dock in landscape would be awesome, although the power Ports on the side would be a challenge. I probably will go down to best buy later to check it out.

I would find this a great combination since the smartwatch is way superior to the galaxy gear.

Have not used the Sony 2 but no calling capability or camera so I do not think it even comes close and the gear is only just out so hopefully lots more to come.
I read that even Samsung executive's aint as happy with the gear as hoped because it limited in ways thats too late to change, but they are going to make a 2014 edition or V2 which is already designed, so for the cost of the gear I'd wait at least until January and see what happens.

Hey don't shoot the messenger dude, like I said its what I read, and it was on Engadget's blog and I trust their tech news,

Let me guess read it on the internet? I keep finding most people never had a smart watch to compare to. I have been wearing a moto Activ for the last year and this is a great up grade of that smart watch. There is no "smart watch" without a phone, all of them are dependent on a phone for updates.
Notifications work really well able to read most of my emails and decide if I want to read the rest. This works best at work and home as the phone can now sit across the room on a charger. The problems come from the gmail app which I don't use. I have several email address and like to check them in one place.
Speaker phone works really well, was quite surprised but the phone allows for the Bluetooth headset and watch to be connected at the same time. If I answer on headset audio goes there, if i answer on watch audio goes there.
You can install more than 10 apps but can only have 10 apps on quick launcher. There are apps released that allow you to create your own watch faces and details, another one looks at the local pictures from the phone on the watch. I would also guess that it will be streaming video from the phone to the watch shortly.
Photo quality is really pretty good if lighting is ok.
Almost forgot battery life is about 2 days and fully charges in about an hour. The moto started out lasting only a day and via firmware updates got it to 2-3 days about the same time as the Galaxy Gear.
Finally, I don't expect an iwatch to support other vendors. When I bought the moto activ it didn't support any other phones but motorola's. You had to run a special app or the watch was stand-alone, if the app crashed (did often) it was standalone. The Gear and Galaxy just work together much better than the combination of vendors. The gear will support other Samsung phones later this month. If I was Samsung I wouldn't support every android phone, if you want a Gear get a Galaxy!

Well i don't agree battery life on smart phones can be very poor yes of course i would like my phone to last a week (charge on Sunday night) and a smart watch to last a month but technology is just not able to do that we except that with phones and I think if we want the benefits of a s watch some of us will except that about them as well,don't wait for gear 2 or I-watch battery technology is just not able to give us longer Without Taking Out Features

I do totally agree with you, but the waiting aspect which I pointed to was for the case of what maybe announced in the next 8 weeks, and if nothing then I buy one myself but as I said the gear isn't cheap so if a new version is only 2-3 months away then I'd rather wait for the latest.

No way to connect those devices. The Galaxy Gear is a very specific gadget made to work only on a Samsung environment. Furthermore, it just work with the Note 3 and S4 at the moment, until Samsung figures it out and makes S3, and Note 2 compatible.

I've got my ultra since it came out and I wish to have the g. Gears too but no one has ever make the gear to work with any other phone besides samsung devises. I don't know but some one needs to work on this.
The gear drivers are Samsung owned and they don't release them to devs or the community, and on the first gen at least, I very much doubt they will. This is one further step closer to their proprietary ecosystem they've been planning for so long. They need to be baked into the rom, hence why there's a rom update to the phone when they make it compatible.
Sorry dude, unless your on a new high end Samsung device the gear is useless.

Needs touchwiz framework.. Someone may hack it like they did with other touchwiz framework apps (like they did with svoice) but doubt it will be for niche device like zu.

It is unfortunate that Samsung would do that. I like the watch and I think that they could sale more watches if it was compatible with any bluetooth phones with the gears app. Shame on you samsung.........

Yeah I'm sure that all the g.Gear requries is a touchWiz base... I'll ask if Zoosh is keen to port touchwiz for the Ultra... as he ported the Sony base for the Galaxy Note...
However... its touchWiz, and I for one am happy I've moved on... anyway... i'll ask. He may have a spare few months! LOL
Let's hope someone manages to reverse engineer the drivers/framework and bundles it up as an Xposed module. That would be the best IMO.

You can root the Galaxy Gear and use it with the ZU, that's what I've done. You won't have the same native app support but there are many third party apps that provide similar functionality. If you share your internet connection via bluetooth you can just setup your email accounts and weather app on the Gear and Tablet Talk gives SMS notification/reply. It will still work as a bluetooth headset without any additional apps.

But he already has the Gear, so the cost is $0. And once it has been rooted the Gear works with every device just like the ZGPAX.
Does not negate the fact that it is cheaper. Sell the Gear, the the ZGPAX and have a nice chunk of $$$ left.
In any case, I think he just wants his Gear to work so this is not really on topic I guess.
Nothing comes close to Gear Watch..
I have owned Zpax, U Watch, Gear Neo, Gear 2, LG G Watch R, Asus Zen Watch (current). Nothing ccomes close to Gear 2. Don't trust the other sellers pointing you to non branded crap like Zpax or Azz watches. I tried them all and I settled on Asus even though I like gear 2 it doesn't work on my Z ultra. I used to get so many compliments when I had that watch. My two cents and my opinion, no need to bash or critic. Take it or leave it. Thank you.

Yeah it's too bad about the alpha but it seems right now people want 5 inch screens so it loses out on that. I would recommend the S5 or HTC one m8, both have great dev support. But the best idea is to wait for spring/summer when the S6 and the new HTC is released

Since quite a lots of android users switched-to/switched-back Iphone now because of 4.7"/5.5" Iphone launched. You really don't expect any android discussion board will be as busy as in the old age, the time has gone. Another major reason is nowadays people slowly upgrade their smartphone because hardware is started to mature. When you look on XDA, you will know many new phones development board isn't that active now.
I'm now with Z1 Compact and also thinking to upgrade to Z3 Compact or Alpha or S6(if it manage to smaller than S5 in size a bit) in around March/April. I think mostly I will pick Z3c or Alpha because I believe S6 would be too expensive to me and excess my budget but I will put an eye on it. Z4/Z4c/Z4U is almost sure to hit a big delay now, they will all announce only on May/June sometimes. So, I decided to don't wait them now.
If you like Alpha, just go get it. It is a rare Samsung phone though almost no development here but the phone itself is very capable without any support. If you want a little bit bigger community and need a microSD slot, then pick Z3c.

Switching to Iphone from more matured system? Iphone was good and impressive like 3 generations ago when android wasn't so matured system, nowdays I don't see a reason for people who own for example a S4 to switch to Iphone.
The latter part is very true, a 100€ phone can handle basically anything that basic user throws at it. And the devs and other people who can get more out of their current older phones trough custom roms, don't really have reasons for upgrade.

You gonna search more information. Iphone market share worldwide is same with Samsung in 2014 Q4 and already excess Samsung now in 2015 Q1 so Apple is the No.1 smartphone company again now.
System-wise is always Android better but since Iphone borrowed more and more functions from Android in every generation OS, the gap in different will just become smaller in long run. But on the other hand, Iphone still owns the most best apps and even both platform got the same one, IOS one usually performs better.

Only G3 or S5 or M8 have active development I can name(Z3/Z3c isn't active coz most people still using Z1/Z1c/Z2) but M8 camera is really suck I don't suggest it. And you don't like plastic samsung so no S5 I think, only G3 leave.
S6 will use Exynos and no S810, this time S6 development should not be very active as well because Exynos is harder to support. G4 will also hit a big delay becoz GFlex2 will out first on March/April, G4 won't appear until May/June much like Z4.
I feel bad right now cus im hoping to see alot of roms for this great device but i guese i was wrong.Im not upset or anything but this is why we buy android phones instead of iphone we need to change to somthing new

Hi,
The tread is so other people don't make the same mistake and they don't have high expectations. I was able to connect Gear S to Sony Xperia (the usual: some features worked, some didn't). One of the main purposes of buying this watch was running outdoors. I think there is no way to use S Health with a non-Samsung phone. Nike+ works. However Nike+ was designed/coded by a complete idiot. I am extremely frustrated. There is a big white distance number. Other metrics (time, pace, time of day) are displayed with a small black scrolling font on a red background. The scroll is pretty fast. It is impossible for any normal human being to read those scrolling numbers, especially while running: they are too small, scroll too fast, the contrast is too little.
The design is as if they want to discourage people from using the app! Or maybe it was designed by someone who never run?! I am returning the watch!
BTW, you can find "revelations" on the Internet about reverting Gear S colors in order to use Nike+. Doing it breaks other watch functions and doesn't help much. Why would we have to go through so much hassle for the very basic feature: seeing running time in a running app?!?!?!?!

I believe the 9/17/15 S Health update added support for non-Samsung Android devices. It's available in Google Play.
And he didn't even complain about how inaccurate the GPS is. I shaved a minute of my mile time switching back to the Nike app on my phone.

simplest solution, install android on the watch and download any running app youd like, like endomodo or so, or download nike app for android ahahahha
Thanks for replying. I have returned the Gear S watch. Samsung did everything it could to discourage me from using it with non-samsung phones. No problem! Fortunately, there is something called: competition. I am thinking about buying LG Urbane 2 LTE. It will be available in a week or two. If not Urbane, the progress is fast and there will be more wireless/phone watches soon.

First of all, Galaxy Alpha is not a low end device. Don't confuse it with A3/5. Not the same thing. I have owned Galaxy S, S2, S3. All premium devices at their time. And they are all craps (original S has crappy, barely working GPS, a well known/documented problem, S2 is a so so device. S3 battery circuit craps out a few days past 1-year warranty). Have no interest in Note 4/5 or S 5/6. Handled them and they are not that impressive.
Why would you continue to buy samsung devices if all of them are "crap" as you put it? Do you always buy products you hate and then continue to do so as a form of self punishment?
It is none of your business what devices I buy. But I thought I need to speak flankly about Samsung products since I probably owned more Samsung products than most.
