Hi.
I have a "little" problem with my Gear Fit.
If i turn it on, and i pair with my phone, everything is working.
But after disconnect, and reconnecting, or after 1-2days, the wallpaper will black, and the health data (steps, pulse, etc.) not syncing, with my S5.
And if i restart the Gear Fit, it loses all data.
Pls help my guys.
Thanks, Oliver.
I have restarted my FIT2 a few times, and havent had any data loss..., but I seem to have lost WiFi sync'ing. Both smartphone, and Fit2 are on the same home wifi Network, but I dont seem to get any notifications anymore....

I’ve recently upgraded from an S2 to an S3 and have a slight issue. When I’m out the house and connected via a data connection (O2 giffgaff) all is great however when I get back home or to a saved wifi spot my phone will not automatically connect to it whilst the screen is off. I have to litterally wake the screen from sleep/lock mode to the home screen where I can see the data connection still on then soon after it will switch to WiFi with the connected confrimation message.
Surley I shouldnt have to wake my phone when coming in range to a saved WiFi point in order for it to connect to it, my S2 never had such issue and automatically connected to saved points. Earlier I went down to the shop and used the data connection whilst there, come back to work and hadn’t woke my phone for about half hour, turned it on and it started connecting to the wireless. The connection still works when the phone is in sleep/lock screen as I still recieve emails etc so it's not cutting of data connections completely when sleeping so I'm a bit puzzled by this, I haven't tested this vice versa WiFi to data but I'm sure there must be a simple setting somewhere.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I noticed this earlier on, I was out all day, returned home and wifi wouldn't auto connect, I had to disable and re enable wifi

It's strange I can't quite work it out, I tested it the other way round and it seemed to automatically connect to mobile data when there was no saved WiFi in range so it only seems to be an issue with auto connecting to WiFi.
I'm going to try a few more tests.

You could try deleting the saved network and adding it again. It has happened to me before and that has fixed the problem.

Cheers, will give this ago and will let you know what happens :fingers-crossed:
Hi all,
bought for my wife Padfone S but when she leaves home WiFi, data does not automatically turn on.
If I turn off WiFi manually, data gets connected automatically, but if she just leave the range of WiFi with WiFi still on, but out of reach, the phone doesn't connect to 3G even if I'll turn WiFi off & on, data on & off - only what helps is restart of the phone - then connects to the mobile data without problem.
Phone is new, not rooted, stock ROM.
Shall I send to service?
Thanks for any tips.

My girlfriend and i both have this phone, her's had the same problem in one of the first software versions. Then a restart would help, but after the latest updates this problem doesn't occur anymore.

What software version you have?
I've bought the phone in East Asia and can't update any more. But played with the APN settings & actually it helped - the default settings was strange and now it works.
I did a search and didn't find anything so I apologize if this is a re-post. I can't figure out what function the Wi-Fi has on the Moto360 2. Does anyone have any insight on this?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
I tried figuring this out too since my old gear 2 running wear didn't have wifi. from what I understand if you disconnect from Bluetooth, if you're on a wifi network you can get notification on your watch still no matter where your phone is. your phone can be on the wireless network and not wifi, and still through Google cloud services can send notifications to your watch. you can be like anywhere in the world I presume, and if your watch is on wifi, then you'll get notifications still

That's what I was thinking and I tested that out today without any success. But I think it's because I'm at work and the WiFi situation here is not the best. I'll test at home. Thanks
What the wifi functionality on the watch does, as it did on the 1st gen, is allow communication from your phone to the watch when the watch is out of bluetooth range. You have to be on the same wifi network with the watch and phone currently. There is no current multiple network communication at the moment, though I hope they implement that in the near future. If my hue lights can do it, my damn watch should be able to

Thanks for clearing that up. So the WiFi functionality is basically useless. If my phone and my watch are on the same WiFi network, then the chances are extremely high that they are both also within bluetooth range of each other. Adding to that, the fact that you need your phone to connect to a WiFi network in the first place really defeats the object of having WiFi on the watch at all. So if you're out and about without your phone, there is no chance for you to hook up with a WiFi hotspot.
If my Nexus 6p is connected to 5ghz wifi and my moto 360 2 is connected to 2.4ghz wifi on the same network will i have notifications if i lose bluetooth range?

It's great for me when I'm at home or in the office since bluetooth drains the phone battery much quicker than WiFi. Outside of that benefits are pretty limited.
it's not true though. they don't have to be on the same network. when my phone is 4g and watch is wifi, i still get it. that's because google cloud services are running on the phone and upload and the watch receives it.... just like how my Flux wifi bulb can be accessed remotely from another network and 4g.

I can confirm this. Working on different networks. Wifi plus 4G working fine.

Do notifications on the watch work if the phone is off or dead? What I'm getting at is do the notifications actually come from the phone over wifi or do they come directly from google services?
I have been trying this on my wifi network with no luck. My phone is on my 5ghz wifi and the watch can only do 2.4 (I live in an apt and the 2.4 spectrum is absurdly saturated), I do not get alerts when my phone is out of range (rare since my apt is small).
I like the feature a lot if it worked correctly, it means my phone can sit charging somewhere (IE my room) and I can be around doing things and still get alerts. I will have to do more testing tonight. I might try turning bluetooth off on my phone and see if I still get alerts to my phone.
Still new to the smartwatch world but I love my 360
I do not get it how wifi connection works. If I lose bluetooth signal then my watch disconnects.
Someone might chine in here, but as far as I know it's this:
You connect your fit2 to your wifi (it has a small virtual keyboard to input the wifi key)
You also have to give the gear app permission to use wifi to transfer notifications (it pops up during setup)
I think the idea is that if you're too far from your phone the fit2 will be able to get notifications across over wifi. I'm not sure if both the phone and fit2 needs to be in the same wifi or if it goes through Sammy's servers, so it works independently..
I've only used it on the same wifi (only tried it today), but it seems to work for me. I got a notification when I believe I was out of bt reach. I have to test it more though to be sure.
....it will connect to your Smartphone over personal WiFi network to get Notifications...I have been doing it at home, so I leave my phone at the charge table downstairs, and as long as your Fit can get on the same WIFI, than you will get notifications to your Fit2
Actually, I think it syncs all the Wi-Fi profiles that are stored on your phone, and then connects to the same network as the phone is connected. (?)
I left my phone at home once and went out shopping. The fit2 connected to the free wifi in one of the stores and received notifications from my phone which was kilometers away from me. So the fit2 uses your Samsung account to receive the notifications. No need the phone to be in the same local network. Also the fit2 connected to the store's wifi automatically because it had it synced and remembered from my phone before that.
I lost WiFi connectivity after latest update, I don't get notifications anymore when I am away from my phone...=(
Csn someone tell me how to get this to work. . My gear fit 2 shows connected to wifi but not to my phone. .
I'd love to sync the Fit 2 with my phone over wifi –*S Gear + Bluetooth eat 10% battery in 45 minutes and make my Z5C HOT. I've read that it's possible, but when I try, Gear just stays on "connecting" forever

I am not receiving any notifications through wifi without BT connection. Are there any apps/settings for that?
Thanks

I am using my Gear Fit2 with my LG V10.
Works fine at my Home Network, and also in the Office WiFi network, as per page 15 of the owners manual
Remote connection
You can remotely connect the Gear to your mobile device when a Bluetooth connection is
not available. With this connection, you can still receive notifications from your mobile device.
On your mobile device, open the Apps screen, tap Samsung Gear → Settings → Gear
connection, and then tap the Remote connection switch.
If both devices are connected to the same network, OPEN Samsung Gear App on your phone, it should tell you its "connected to device remotely".
and I also have BT OFF on my Fit2, so I know its working...=) Check out the Owners Manual, and goto Page 46 - Connections for more info
Good Luck
I confirm that the Wifi works like describe above but my concern is that, if the Wifi is always enabled (with Bluetooth too), then the battery drops much more fast than with the Bluetooth only. That means that the Wifi is not activated only when Bluetooth signal with the smartphone is lost but all the time.... which is not ideal.
Thanks for this thread!
Hi! Does anyone know which one is better for the battery,Wifi or Bluetooth connection drains the battery more?
It seems to me that the battery on the fit2 lasts longer when connected to bluetooth than with wifi without the phone, but then the battery on the phone drains rather quickly. Either way, you're charging one or the other often.
Guys, i am facing some issue or i am doing something wrong. I have connected my phone & gear fit 2 to same WIFI network but when i disconnect the gear from Bluetooth it automatically get connect to WiFi. Now here is the issue, i don't get any notifications on my gear fit 2 although Remote connection is on.
I also want to add that when i disconnect gear fit 2 from Bluetooth the option for remote connection doesn't highlights for me as a result i left with no option but to reconnect via Bluetooth only. Please help & advise

Even I had the same problem. The following steps helped me fix it:
1) Switch off Bluetooth on your Gear Fit 2.
2) Connect it to some WiFi network(if the network is secured, you'll need to enter the network password using on-screen keyboard).
3) Switch on the Bluetooth again on your Gear Fit 2. It should now be connected to your phone.
4) Go to Samsung Gear app on your phone, and log out of your Samsung account.
5) Log in again(Reset the password in case you've forgotten it).
6) You should see the Remote Connection option enabled(try doing it manually, if it is not auto-enabled).
To test:
1) Turn ON the WiFi in your Gear Fit2.
2) Switch off the Bluetooth on your mobile device.
3) Connect your mobile device to a WiFi network.
4) The watch should now be disconnected from Bluetooth, and connected to WiFi(make sure this is the same WiFi which you set up previously).
5) Wait for a few minutes, it should show "Connected remotely" in the notification bar of the Gear Fit 2.

Open the Samsung Gear app, go to "Settings" tab, scroll down and select "Samsung Galaxy Apps". Open the options menu by clicking options on top right corner, then click on Settings. Scroll down and you can find an option to log-in or log out of your Samsung account.

I have a new a car that has Android Auto wireless only and the Duo 2 just will not connect. It connects to Bluetooth so calls etc. are fine but I can't connect to Android Auto at all. I thought it was a car issue initially but I've tried a Samsung phone and that connected no problem. I think it might have something to do with connecting to a WiFi network that doesn't have Internet. The phone keeps disconnecting from it but if anyone has solved this it would be much appreciated! The Duo 2 is fully updated and I can't see anything obvious that's disabled.
