[Q] Pairing S6 Edge with Samsung gear live - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone on this forum managed to pair these two devices together?
I have tried samsung gear manager and android wear app none have worked.
As far as i know my phone is incompatible.

Can't help with the Samsung gear live, but my wife uses the Samsung gear Fit, and I use the Moto 360. Neither of us have had any trouble pairing our watches with the S6 Edge.

Try doing a factory rest on the watch. It fixed mine. Was previously paired to an S5, refused to pair with S6 Edge+. This was also the recommendation from Samsung. It takes a while to finish though.

[Q] Use Galaxy S2 as bluetooth headset

Hi,
I have just got my new Galaxy S2 today and I'm very pleased with it!
I'm wondering if it's possible to use the device as a bluetooth headset for things like Skype on my PC - is that possible?
use skype also on the phone, you can keep both open and answer only winth one, like the gs2 and chat with pc
I would have a similar question.
I have a private phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a company phone. Both have bluetooth and are paired.
Is it possible to use the Galaxy S2 as a headset for my company phone? So that I can have my company phone in my notebook bag or somewhere near but I would be able to answer calls with my Samsung Galaxy S2?

[Q] But why?

Here's the problem I'm having, wasn't able to find any other answers on here via searching here or other sites.
I'm unable to actually 'pair' via bluetooth my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 (16gb wifi only) with my samsung galaxy s2 (att version) . Now each device recognizes one another, but they don't actually connect. I can go through the motions and hit accept whatever code, but then I get nothing. Try to force it to connect, nothing.
I actually tried to pair an 8.9 tab with an S2 in the att store via bluetooth. I would say that I was able to replicate it (i.e. it still didn't work), but given all the other devices and the extended range I wouldn't call it a successful recreation.
Why don't they pair? Is any one else able to get their s2 and tab 10.1 to pair? Maybe it's just an att thing? Tech support figured it was a defect in my phone and it just needed a hard reset. I decided to do the test before wiping everything and starting fresh.
PLEASE HELP!
so it seems I'm not the only one with this issue (not sure if good or bad thing)
Found this thread on another site: http://www.mygalaxytab.net/samsung-...etecting-and-pairing-problem/msg5751/#msg5751
The most interesting part of that was this, "I was told that Samsung will not push this as an update."
So are we just stuck then? I'm not too happy about that.
I called samsung and they have no knowledge of this issue with my particular devices. I didn't realize that other devices had basically stopped working: http://www.galaxytabforums.net/foru...luetooth-other-devices-galaxy-tab-10-1-a.html
Any one out there having luck pairing their tab and phone via bluetooth to transfer files and whatnot?

i have tried pairing GTab 10.1 with SG2 with no issue. first try to identify which device has issue GTab or SG2. try to connect your GTab with any other bluetooth mobile.
I had never tried before, but just paired my GTab 10.1 wifi only with my GS2 International model. Paired just fine and was able to send a photo from my phone to the tab.
Have paired my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Galaxy y without any problems. Transferring files etc. I am using basically the micro sd card of my Galaxy y as an external storage for the tab.
Using stock 3.1 in tab and rooted 2.3.5 in Galaxy y
thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll pairing with my boss's epic in a bit, but for kmaq: what s2 do you have? If att version, is it the stock rom?
I'm wondering if this is AT&T's doing rather than the devices themselves.
I'm also going to stop by an AT&T store later with my tab to test my phone/tab with their phone/tabs.
EDIT: If I take my tab to an ATT store and can't pair it with a new/different s2, but the tab can successfully pair with another phone then for sure it's a software issue? What would be my next move if that's the case?
UPDATE:
Tried pairing my tab with a bunch of other devices to try and rule out my phone, and now I'm not sure if my results are helpful or not.
So this list is what I paired with my tab and results.
samsung epic 4g (sprint) - NO
samsung galaxy s2 (att in-store working unit) - NO
Motorola atrix 2 (att) - YES
Motorola Droid Razr (verizon) - YES
LG phoenix? (att) - NO
HTC Inspire (att) - NO
Summary, my tablet can pair AND connect via bluetooth with motorola phones. Which explains why it would pair with my friend's droid x in the past.
So what does this mean? Should I factory reset my tablet to try the bluetooth fix?* If that doesn't work, then am I going to have to send it in for repairs/evaluation?
Please let me know what you guys think, because I'm going to call samsung tech support tomorrow and see what they say.
*EDIT: the hard reset did nothing, and samsung tech support filed a claim for 'tier 2' support.
can anyone help?

I can't wait to see proof, but Samsung has told me that they are compatible.
its working like a charm with my S7, but theer i get my S7 just yesterday and so far its working like a charm,
Yes it works fine, got my wife the gold s7 and we both have gear s's and hers paired with it and works great. No connection loss or anything works as it did with her s5. I know i had some worries about it not working as well but all is good.
Yeahhh ! Works great! No disconnection... better than with s6 edge plus. With my S7 Edge gear works very well.
Works good here! It seems like location information is better and more consistent with the S7 for now as well (compared to my note edge)
I wanted to use it also with the SM-G935FD, Samsung Galaxy S7 edge with the option of two SIMs. Everything works well, except automatic call divert. When the bluetooth connection get lost, the call divert is not getting automatically active. If someone calls on the mobile, Gear S does NOT ring at all. Did anybody tried it and succeed it with dual version?

Unable to get gear manager pair Gear S smartwatch with core prime phone?

Bought metropcs Galaxy Core Prime and the phone will pair with the Gear S via bluetooth but the gear manager fails to recognize the watch. Can someone tell me if there is a trick to get them to pair or are they not compatible with one another?

Is it possible to connect my Gear S2 to the V30?

I just upgraded to the LG V30 and tried connecting it to my Gear S2, but it isn't officially compatible. Is there any workaround for this?
I have no problems with my gear s2 sport and Tmobile v30.
While I don't have the Gear S2, I do have the S3 Frontier and works seamlessly with the V30+. Just make sure you have all the Samsung software installed - the Samsung Accessory Service and the Gear App, before you pair.
