A week ago i was recording voice with my Gear S, and until today it is still showing the transfer progress in notification as 87% complete.
Every single time a connect my gear to my Edge +, it shows this transfer in progress.
Last night the gear app - that never even was shown on battery app - started draining my battery.
I have around 8gb free space on my Edge+.
Any ideas?

I've been using my Gear S in combination with a Note Edge since February 2, and the battery life was good (typically 50% or so at the end of the day). About two weeks ago the Gear S started draining really fast, running out of battery before my day was over. As part of my troubleshooting, I factory reset both the Gear S and the Note Edge, and ran several tests with and without Bluetooth and 3G (I left GPS and WiFi off all the time). The only thing that is causing the rapid battery drain is the Bluetooth connection to the phone (i.e., connected remotely via 3G = great battery life; connected via Bluetooth = crappy-ass battery life).
Is anyone else experiencing this particular scenario (Bluetooth connection recently starting to drain your battery)?
Thanks for any help you may provide.
Have you installed any new apps that could cause this and it functions only on Bluetooth? I had wearable widgets and clock which were not even active but seemed to cause battery drain and slowness.

No, I haven't installed any apps on the Gear S since I reset it. It would be nice to have a battery monitoring app.
OK, maybe the charger is different and the battery is not being charged at full power..

The battery gets charged to 100% using the original power supply and charging cradle. And like I said before, the watch lasts forever when connected via 3G, so it can't be a battery issue. I was thinking it was a bad Gear Manager update, but then a lot of people would be having the same issue.
There are many reports of BT battery drain after recent Gear Manager update (a month or two ago). Some solved it by re-install the Gear Manager. Not everyone is affected.

I guess you can count me as one of the affected ones. Reinstalling Gear Manager is not doing diddly squat. I ran another test: no apps whatsoever, the only variable being the connection to the phone via Bluetooth. 45% over 5.5 hours during the night, with Do Not Disturb on. Balls...

Here's what I've found being with a Gear since V1 was first released. Gear Manager is a PIA and when updates to it or the device occur flaky things can happen. Whenever I update either I always do the following in the order shown:
Unpair the Gear in BT settings so it's no longer a connectable BT device
Hard reset the Gear by long pressing the power button and doing a recovery
In application manager on my phone I go through each Gear-related Samsung and/or third party app installed and delete it making sure the core Gear Manager app is the last uninstalled. Some of the secondary Gear apps come back after they're are installed but get removed with the removal of the core Gear App at the end
Reinstall Gear Manager from Samsung Apps on my phone and go through the whole pairing process again with the Gear being seen by the phone and the phone being seen by the Gear as "virgin."
Even though my G-S was virgin, I set it up enough to take the AT&T update and once it was updated went through all the steps above.
I've had no issues like call forwarding not working, connections are fantastic, and battery life seems reasonable (I've had the G-S less than a week so don't have anything to compare it to). I never had some of the other issues people reported on the Gear I either.
The main difference I would think between connecting via BT and 3G would be the sync of the notifications - on BT it would be synchronous and trying to get all notifications and on 3G the phone just pushes notifications and possibly the watch is not waiting for them.. maybe check the application list in Gear manager to see if any app could be sending a lot of notifications or continuously running..
I recently just did a factory reset on both the Gear S and the Note 4. I used to have around 300 apps that would auto download every time I logged into my Google account. I deleted my Google back up so those apps wouldn't download again. I don't have nearly as many apps on both devices and my battery life has improved dramatically. The more apps you have, the more your battery drains. It doesn't matter if its a smartwatch or a phone.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I had no apps installed on the watch at all, and I only had notifications turned on for texts. Since I had just factory reset the Note Edge, it was also a fresh installation of Gear Manager, and only one Google account set up on the phone - no other apps. So, empty phone, empty watch, and the battery was still draining like crazy when connected via Bluetooth. Then all of a sudden, it fixed itself, without me doing anything. No new version of the Manager, no changing of settings, nothing.
I'm glad it's fixed, but it's bugging me that I have no clue how it got fixed. I've been installing apps on the phone, and everything is still OK. Now I'm going to install apps on the watch, and I have a feeling it'll all be OK with that too.
I have had the same issue and in fact the battery drains fast if gear s bluetooth is on even without it being connected, I have factory reset it and reinstalled gear manager with almost zero apps connected and still get fast drainage, battery dies in less than 3 hours, no idea what to do next apart from Samsung warranty
Hello. I'm having problems in setting the time of my gear fit. When it connects to open gear an hour is automatically added. No matter the settings of my galaxy, no matter if i change time zones, set the time manually on the phone, such value is transferred to the gear fit but with an.... added hour. Can someone help?
I have the same problem on a S6 with Android 6.0 on board. With open fit manager the clock is ok, but that software doesn't transfer fit data to SHealth.
Have had my Gear S since June 2015 with issues the past three to four months. TMo and Samsung have been unhelpful.
1. Not connecting to network
2. Mic intermittent, mostly stopping immediately after trying to turn on
3. Samsung Play store apps do not work, such as gear task-will not add tasks nor lists. Wrist list will not add
4. Hi Gear wont work since the watch can't find a network
5. Apps will not run/work or force closes
6. Sometimes Remote works between Gear S and Note Edge, most of the time, not.
The only things that do work on the Gear S are the standard watches and S-Health. I've tried downloading watch faces from the app store and they crash the watch. I had loaded Nike Running now can't remove the app. Same with Milk Music-it wouldn't play on the watch, it just acted as a remote control for Milk Music on my Note Edge. I've disabled/removed Gear S apps on my phone (that do not show up on the Gear Manager app) but they do not remove from the watch itself.
I've already sent the Gear S into repair due to flashing between screens. I've spent days with TMo and Samsung help on all social network sites--they take 2-3 hours between answering questions and 'helping', so one issue will take 3-5 days.
SO Frustrated with the Gear S and Note Edge, sometimes i just want my money back, but way beyond the time frame now.
hi,
After the last S6 update , my phone gets stuck with Google Play updates.
Any app (small size or big size does not matter) downloads quickly but stucks at the last point. Does not change to the "installing" state easily.
is this a memory issue ?
how can I solve it ?
the device gets hot and drains battery.
also, I use Gear S3 and Gear VR accessories and I notice;
- connection problems with Gear S3
- quickly getting hot in Gear VR
any ideas ?
thanks.
Hi there,
my huawei is not compatible with the samsung gear s3.
Any help?
Hey tripple X man. They are lying, as always, everything is compatible, my Mate 10 works perfectly fine with my Samsung Gear S3. I downloaded Samsung Gear and S plugin from https://www_apkmirror_com/apk/samsu...msung-gear-2-2-17022862-android-apk-download/, installed both an everything is OK. Hope it works for you too.
i can confirm too my pro 10 works with my S3
So my gear fit 2 but with 127 firmware i don't get the calls.
With 115 everything is fine!!!!!!
Can you guys browse your phone to buy a watch face?it just freezes on me everytime I try and browse
Mine is working as well. I had to turn off automatic power management of all gear related apps to make sure the system doesn't kill the app in background. Now it works like charm...
With my Gear s3 connected to my Mate 10 Pro the battery on my mate drains really fast. Like 15% during the night (7 hours)
If I uninstall Gear S Plugin, Samsung Health and Samsung Gear battery is normal again. 1% down during the night
Anyone else with battery drain problem while running Gear apps on their phone?

I had Bluetooth issues with my Xiaomi smart watch. Constantly disconnected. I think it's the aggressive ram management system. Had to return it
I am having trouble receiving notifications with what's history and notification wear apps.
I only receive messages when my phone screen is on.
I then noticed that when I open up what Bluetooth devices I gave paired, select S3 I see that input device is not selected. But it won't let me select it.
Could this be the reason? If so, how to rectify it?
