Good morning all,
I've got an Audi A4 and a Samsung Galaxy SIII, trying to pair the phone to the inbuilt car kit. It will pair fine, but once I have connected the phone to a cars hands free kit by pairing the devices I'm then asked by the device for permission to access the phones contacts and call logs. I press OK to allow this but the message keeps coming back and will not access the contacts.
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Next time you get prompted you will notice a check box to stop prevent it asking again. I checked that and havn't been prompted since on my Audi.
I just bought Gear fit. It is great to have an option to unlock the phone with the device nearby.
Today, I wanna test what if the gear fit is turned off, or my phone is stolen, will the phone locks itself.
The answer is no. Not the result I hoped for according to the description of the feature. It supposed to lock the phone when gear fit not detectable.
I wanno know this problem with other device as well? Or I did it wrongly.
I'm using S-view cover as well. It showed homescreen directly without the lockscreen although gear fit was turned off.
For now, I'm better use back the fingerprint method.
Any fix for that?
Ok. I managed to find a solution from other thread for galaxy gear.
1. Turn off the auto lock feature in your galaxy gear settings
2. Turn off any lock screen passwords. (when you unlock your phone you shouldn't have a password)
3. Restart phone. (You shouldn't have to put a password in to unlock your phone)
4. Go to your galaxy gear settings and enable the auto lock. Go through the steps to setup your password...
5. Now test... Turn off your galaxy gear. The phone should lock with password.
And it worked.
Or use tasker.
Do I need to have a active sim card in it, it connected to gear manager got 4 files pushed to it and then my note edge sat there for at least 30 minutes I guess saying connecting to gear s still when I got back from leaving them at home and running to the store.
Gear Manager shows the Gear S but its just a blank Orange titled and white bodied app page with nothing on it however after rebooting the gear s it still shows me the welcome setup page.
What can I do, I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand more times, Gear Manager and Samsung really made a epic fail at the software and syncing side of these damn watches, made it such a pain in the ass that they almost aren't worth owning cause of it.
Really guys, no one??? XDA's evergrowing helpful community at it's finest!!!
I tried resetting all the gear manager related app's on my phone, but now it won't go through initial setup it just loads Gear Manager and then asks me to choose my Gear device either Galaxy Gear or Gear S
Then when I choose Gear S it loads a new screen that acts as if it froze and never fully loaded with a orange title header that says Gear S and a blank white body
Gear Assistant and Old Gear Manager is giving me a bluetooth pairing confirmation pin.... Getting a lil closer, but then out of nowhere something happened and bluetooth started turning off in the middle of everything on the Gear and now I'm not getting the pairing pin again and getting bluetooth timed out error message.
Had to factory reset my Note Edge in order to get it successfully connect in gear manager(Latest version)... Which is stupid.
I have seen various fourms where people managed to root their Gear S and then load CM 12 on it or other methods to get it to work on nonsamsung phones. I have rooted a few phones and loaded some ROMS before ( this site is great), but can't seem to get anywhere on this Gear S. It was bought as a Christmas present for when I had a S5 Active, but am about ready to just chunk it in the trash. I can't seem to get any other ROM to load on this phone or get it to talk my Pixel. Does anyone know if this has been successfully done and or anyone who does this for hire or a shop that does. Would work out the details, but trying to figure out if I can just pay to get this watch working or if I just need to go buy Android Wear watch. Thanks in advance.
Hey, i'll help you
i had the same problem as you, the samsung manager app on the play store wont sync with the watch no matter how many times you try, so this is what i did to make it work:
1 if your gear s is still stuck on the set up and is requesting to open the gear manager app on your phone. Go to the second screen on your watch and you will see a samsung logo on the left corner, tap on it for about 20 to 30 times after this you will get the bluetooth adress show at the bottom of the screen, then tap and hold the logo again for 3 seconds, and done you will skip the setup procces.
2 go to settings on the watch and go to bluetooth and select make my watch visible, then on your phone open the bluetooth conf. and sync it this will allow you to receive calls and make calls from your watch.
3 to get the notifications on your watch you will have to turn on hotspot on your pixel and then go to the wifi settings on your gear s and connect it to your phone via wifi.
thats it you got your gear s work around this non samsung compatibility issue. i hope this help you.
i love my gear s but now i got a oneplus 3t kinda bummer that samsung wont make all their smartwatch compatible with all phones. good luck.
Problem with Gear S (and I had same problem so I asked Samsung) is, that u can pair it ONLY with Galaxy S lineup (for 100% compatibility - call, sms, installing apps, etc.). If you have different phone than Galaxy S and you downloaded app from google play, you can't pair them with it. The google play app is only for Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear FIT and older. But not for Gear S.
You can get them working, but it will never have all functions. In other words, 100% compatibility is impossible.
Hi, i apologise if this has been asked previously, however i just cannot find any answers to the problem. I have a Gear Fit sm-r350, when trying to pair to a Galaxy S7, it will pair over bluetooth fine however will not connect in Samsung Gear Manager. Also i cannot hard rest to get into the download boot menu. When i hold the button in it reboots but i dont get a samsung logo and it goes straight into pairing mode. Please help how can i recover / factory reset my device?
Thanks
BUMP, I'm amazed that no-one else has had this issue?
