After much prodding, Samsung admitted that neither of their tablets work with the Gear S officially. It's stupid, and the reason why I bought and am now returning my Tab.
Workarounds like the ones for non-Samsung devices are your only option.
All you can do is raise awareness on social media and hope they'll push updates to fix this.
you can't connect it with tablets as it will make you reset the watch over and over again. It is very annoying, I was going to connect it to my computer via bluetooth and use it as a microphone when i found out.
I was able to get 90% functionality by editing my build.prop on the Tab S. Of course this means you have to root the Tab S. I set the model to SM-N910A, which is an AT&T Note 4. I also had to change the characteristic to phone instead of tablet. Next I reset the Gear to factory and was able to pair it with Gear Manager. Email works perfectly and all apps seem to work. But, call forwarding and text do not work. I can use the Google SMS app if I add it to the notification in Gear manager but this does not provide for responding directly from the Gear S.
This is better than just Bluetooth connectivity and I am still working on how to get the remaining functions working. Also, I set the characteristic back to tablet after completely pairing to fix the force close when trying to get to the system settings menu on the Tab S. It doesn't seem to have any I'll effect of the Gear S but it is needed during the initial pairing with Gear Manager.

How did you get the build prop edits to stick after a reboot. What Specific Edits did you use.
ro.product.model=SM-N910A (stock is SM-T705) and ro.build.characteristics=phone (stock is tablet)
I used build prop editor from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
You have to choose menu, edit then edit the lines above for the edits to survive a reboot. I also have call forwarding working after a call to AT&T. They reassigned my IMEI from my note 4 to this number and it started working.

It looked like it was work, it reformatted it then downloaded some stuff now it's stuck on connecting to gear.
Glad to hear it. Make sure you change the ro.build.characteristics back to tablet or you will have FCs opening settings.

After a couple of reboots and removing it from pair it finally finished the install
Yes, I saw that happen as well. Figured out to cancel the first Bluetooth request and try again.

stilll no hope , i can't even find the gear s in the gear manager apps... i'm using tab 3 7.0 so maybe different with tab S...
I don't know for sure what is going on for you, but it requires both build.prop edits mentioned, a reboot of the Tabs S after the edits and resetting the Gear S to factory. This is what it took for me. The model you input must be a Gear S supported device name.

Update on November 10th: With new Gear Manager Update (10. November) now finally it works and connects, thank you Samsung
I bought the Gear S yesterday and wanted to pair it with my Tab S 8.4 (T705). Unfortunately it is not possible, I feat it only works with mobile phones? (even the Tab S is also a mobile phone). Anyone know a promising solution? Thanks!
+1 I d like to know as well I have the gear 2 for now but would like to pair gear S and tab S LTE
Have you tried installing Gear Manager manually? There are videos that show how to pair Gear 1 and 2 to non Samsung devices, maybe it also works for the gear s..

Yes I tried that, at least I changed the Model Number in build.prop (because I don't have to instal Samsung Services because it is a Samsung device). Didn't work out either...Interesting is, that with an old version of Gear Manager I can find the Gear S, but when I want to connect, it only sais "connecting to Gear" for hours...

The gear S should be able to connect to the tab it may show up as a bluetooth device only . My gear 2 pairs to my Tab S LTE/Wifi. That is very odd. Have you tired both gear managers old and new?

I tried that. I see the Gear S as a bluetooth device in settings but when I want to pair, it tells me, that the software ist not compatible. In Gear Manager, I don't find any device. Samsung Switzerland told me, that it is NOT compatible with Tab S at this moment, very disappointing. Hope for a fix, when Gear S is available worldwide. Meanwhile at least, I figured out, that the easter egg trick from Gear 2 (Press 25 Times screen when it wants to pair) works as well on Gear S, so you can use it as a phone wihtout pairing it to a Samsung device.

Hi Cyman,
I have just bought the Gear S from Digitec, probably you bought from the same store.
Very disappointed that it needs a Galaxy smartphone (and not even all of them are actually compatible) for the sync with the Gear Manager app, I found it out later once I got home since the package said that it needs only an Android 4.3 with 1.5 GB of RAM minimum.
I have a Tab 3, also trying to pair: I could install all the versions from XDA but without succeeding so far.
I will let you know.

I'm not sure, what is is that helped. I tried the way from the other post for non Galaxy-Devices, I was able to pair but not to connect via Gear Manager. Then I changed my build.prop to a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500 and device=Phone) and then I upgraded to the lastet Gear Manager. Suddenly I saw the Gear S as a device and it connected. Maybe you should try these two things? Best of luck!

Some folks asked about if it's possible to use it as a stand alone device without the need of activating it in the first place with a Samsung device. It is! (I read that easter egg trick somewhere else in XDA for the Gear 2, it works as well for Gear S)
1. Jump to the screen, where it's visible for Samsung Devices in activation process. You'll see the unique name of your Gear S and a small Watch Icon on the left of the name
2. Tap around 25-30 times on the Watch Icon
3. Now a short message appears saying something about bluetooth. Just ignore it, it will vanish after a few seconds
4. Now tap again on the watch icon but this time leave your finger on the screen for around 5 seconds
5. Voilà, your Gear S is now activated, you can't use it as a remote Smartwatch but as a phone watch at least.
Hope, someone figures out how to pair it with Tab S soon since this is my phone
So, i hope it pairs with my LG G2 without much hassle? Remote sharing probably wont work because it is using Samsung account?
What about all other functions, like notifications, call forwarding etc? Is i even possible to reply on your phone and send via Gear S for messages

If the Steps above don't work buy the watch in the store and have the store pair/ or you to pair it with the display Model of the Note 4 (A guy in the Gear S thread has an iphone and this worked for him) Everything should work as a regular phone besides downloading apps (that needs to connect to the gear manager) and updates ( needs gear manager) Search the Gear 2 thread (Pair with non-Samsung phone works the same for our watch) Tizen is the OS and it should all work the same

:good::good::highfive: that's awesome you hear this ppl it works with non Samsung devices
The Op method worked. Now how do i update and connect with my LG G2? In my phone it just says connecting
I connected Gear S to Kies and it says it already has the latest FW
So text messages notifications do not work. That's all I was able to test.
i have an htc m8 .. does this mean i won't get text message notifications either??
I dont think it will.
Gear Manager needs to forward the text notification to your Gear S from your phone.
You might be able to do text if you use at&t messages as a default messaging app try that.
Amazing. This worked. THANK YOU!
Questions:
1) Bluetooth between iPhone and Gear S keeps dropping. How do you fix this?
2) Can you pair the device with more than 1 device? So for example, it's now paired with my 6 Plus. Can add a Galaxy to it so I can add apps? Seems to always factory reset the device.
3) I know text doesn't work but can we use Calendars or Email somehow?

Regarding the question 2:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and an Iphone. My Iphone is my main phone.
Currently, i successful paired my iphone without the factory reseting. To do that: first i rooted my Gear S. After i use the sdb tool (tizen wearable sdk):
./sdb root on
./sdb shell
and then
cd /var/lib/bluetooth
and i delete the directory with a lot of number (the bt adress of the gear) . Example rm -r C4:42:02:19:99:8D
After i can paired with the iphone without the factory reset.
The problem is i have to do the same thing to reconnect the Galaxy Note 2.
To be continued....

Hold on ... you're deleting the bluetooth address for the Gear?
And how are you not getting this:
No, i don't think that. This directory contains some bluetooth information relating the local (Gear S) address. When i (re)pair it, the directory becomes.
In fact, there is a sub directory with paired bt adresss containing some others informations. To be proper, i deleted the local directory: there is no memory reset, no app lost. I tried to merge the sub directory (the iphone and note 2 bt adress directory), but for the moment it's not concluant.
No, the pairing is sucessfully and i can make a phone call from the Gear S throw the Iphone. For an incoming call , it's another thing: the Gear S rings (but , it's configured in vibration model !), but there is no sound unlike i transferred the call to the iphone and after to the Gear S (not cool !).

What is your model number? SM-R750[?]
Yes, it's a Gear S SM-R750.
The ROM version (rooted, see another thread on xda) is R750XXU1BNJ7.
so the problem is i have tab 3 7.0 (SM-T211) , i want to connect it with gear s. I know this tab not compatible with gear s so i try to edit the built.prop to compatible device and after that i can install the gear manager , but if i scan in gear manager it say no devices found. Can anyone help?? if i pair it manual in gear manager on paired device just white or blank nothing in there. You can see the image for this problem.
I try install gear manager old version with apk , can detect the gear s but stuck at connecting device.
Any solution?? Thanks for the time i will give you my thanks if it works
Sorry for bad english XD
You must also change the device characteristic from tablet to phone for the initial pairing. I had to change it back to tablet afterward on my Tab S or settings kept force closing.

i already change the characteristic from tablet to phone but still can't see my device in gear manager app. My brother use zenfone and try to pair the gear s to his phone and the gear manager can detect it but got some error, but at least the gear manager detect it :|
still find the way
I already used my gear s for months successfully with my note 4. Always worked OK, also remote connection through WiFi or 3g went without hiccups. Yesterday I bought an edge+, I reset my gear to defaults and installed and ran gear manager. Pairing was OK. All seemed good, only the moment Bluetooth connection is lost the gear switches to WiFi and almost immediately says it cannot set up remote connection. Also on 3g is not working. I ticked the remote connection checkbox in gear manager settings but doesn't work. Already three times reset the gear and setup again, completely removed all gear manager components, no luck so far. Working seamless on Bluetooth, not through remote connection.
Any body with s6 edge+ experience the same?
I have the same issue with my S6 edge+.
I also used the gear S with note 4 without remote connection issues.
I passed by Galaxy S6 Edge to Galaxy S6 Edge+ and I do not work more calls and notifications remotely with Gear S .
Before when I walk away from the range of the bluetooth with the Galaxy S6 Edge could perfectly to have call forwarding and notifications, now with Galaxy S6 Edge+ I get the message that you can not make the call diversion etc etc. connect to Bluetooth.
You have done the same experience?
You know the reasons and solutions?
Thanks for the reply

I have the same issues. I reported them to Samsung. I suggest everybody does the same. So maybe Samsung wakes up and fixes this problem. I suspect it has something to do with gear manager. I noticed that the preinstalled version on the s6 edge plus is older then the one you find in the Samsung store. But I cannot update to this version....
Not dependent on the software version. My S6 Edge+ version is the same that is on the Galaxy Apps (v.2.2.15070942)

You're right. Same version here. I was wrong because in my galaxy store the date next to the version number seems to be today's date. When I looked yesterday it was 9 Sept. That way it looked like it's was released today.
+1, same here
I also updated my S6 edge to the plus version. Everything worked fine with S6 edge but now I can't connect remotely (wifi or 3G). BT connection is OK.
I have reported this to Samsung and they promised to be in touch. Nothing yet thought...

I thought i read somewhere that there was an update for gear manager. Can you check the samsung store to see if there actually is? Maybe it fixes the remote connection problem. I cant check for myself because i had to send my edge+ for repairs (i'm the guy who's back cover shattered)
Let me know please.... And if not succesful keep reporting to samsung... I'll do the same

For me no update available..
Build date is 14.9 but its the same version number (2.2.15070942)
It still doesn't work
Last V.2.2.15070942 ..... remote transfer does not work!
We must insist to request a final settlement with the Service Samsung People.
Same here...note 4 worked perfectly. I swiched 2 days ago to S6 Edge plus and only Bluetooth connection works. Remote conection fails. Tried 3 resets/ uninstals but still nothing
Just reconnected to note 4 and remote connection works flawlessly... Back to the edge and the same problem... Come on Samsung!!!!!

I was having this issue at first but I got it to work, and now it's fine everytime.
Make sure the watch is on, and connected via Bluetooth. Then in the Gear S app, select "remote connect" so that it turns the option on. Then go to "auto call forwarding" and turn that on.
Then walk away until the Bluetooth disconnects. It will appear that remote connection is not working. Then walk back to your phone until Bluetooth reconnects. Then turn off remote connect (without turning off auto-call forward). Then turn remote connect back on. Then go to auto call forward and turn it on again. Viola, works.

I use Multi Sim on the gear S so i tried it with the Multi Sim option. Doesn't work for me.
Anyone succeed with this method? I tried it a few times but with no luck.

Hi there,
Having the same issues as everyone else here. I am connected to a Note 5 , with the gear manager pre installed. everything works fine except for the remote connection, I just get an error message "failed to enable remote connection" .
I was going to try this fix you suggested, however on my version of gear manager I do not even have the option of auto call forwarding, so I cant try your fix.
I have also tried connecting to a friends S5 and the remote connection worked fine.... this is very disappointing from Samsung to have this major function not working properly for so long.
I hope they provide an update / fix soon.
Regards
Brian

I have the same issues. I reported them to Samsung. I suggest everybody does the same. So maybe Samsung wakes up and fixes this problem. I suspect it has something to do with gear manager. I noticed that the preinstalled version on the s6 edge plus is older then the one you find in the Samsung store. But I cannot update to this version....

I just spent some time with a "Samsung Expert" in online chat discussing the issue , they said this has not yet been reported to them, so I hope everyone who is posting here will start reporting it to Samsung.
They have now arranged to call me on Wednesday and remotely take control of my phone to see if they can find or resolve the issue , so I will wait and see what they come up with, in the mean time I hope everyone will start contacting Samsung.
I will post back again after my call with them on Wednesday.
Regards
I have a stock ATT Note 4 which finally received the M update (yay!) except it kinda broke my gear s (boo!) Watch is working, as far as a watch goes, and still connects via bluetooth. However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

Check the app permissions for the Samsung Gear app elements, make sure they're enabled
<SOLVED>

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
