I know that there is an application called Samsung Flow which is supposed to sync messages between Samsung phones and the Tab S3.
If a customer does not have a Samsung phone, does Samsung Flow still work for other brands of Android phones?
What are the options for syncing content between any android phone and the Tab S3?
Provided that the phone and tablet are connected to the same wireless network or to the Internet, is it possible to seamlessly switch between the tablet and phone with regards to messaging, social media, emails and calls? (I don't own any Apple products but I know that they do have this sort of functionality.)
For example, lets say my phone is in one room at home and I have the tablet with me in another room. would I be able to answer phone calls and receive SMS / WhatsApp messages that came in on my phone?

I tried several apps and found MightyText to be the best for me. I can't take calls from the tablet but I am notified of incoming calls, sms, and notifications not only on my tablet but also my pc. I can also initiate and respond to text messages from all devices. Join is a close second to MightyText IMO.
In regard to social media and emails, as long as you're logged in with the same account on both your phone and the tablet you will have access on both devices.

Hey all. I really hope this is the correct forum.
I am doing some research at the moment for University and what I am trying to do is to monitor / log all communications over an android device.
For example, I want to get the following data.
User X wants to communicate with one of their contacts, User Y.
How may phone calls, voIP calls, text messages, emails, facebook messages, whatsapp messages etc does User X send to User Y.
The call logs, sms, emails etc are not an issue but I've ran into a wall trying to figure out how to find out this same data from applications such as Whatsapp and Viber. Whatsapp is an application which uses the phones data connection to send messages and Viber is a voIP app.
I don't need any data from the phone call or message itself. I just need to record the frequency of calls and messages to particular users.
Would anyone have any advice regarding this, it would be very much appreciated.
edit: Oh and I am looking to code this. I am not looking for an already created app.
Hi all
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).
Anyone figured out how to add contacts to the watch?
I select "Contacts" from the menu. All that is happening is the spinning animation with the text "Syncing contacts". I can't add a contact from the message app or the call log either.
I dont want to go back to memorize numbers again.
edit1: tried to add some contacts to SIM card. Not picked up by the watch.
edit2: added some contacts to SIM card. They do appare on incoming calls, and appares in phone application when searching in the dialer.
You can't. Majority of the functions of this watch requires a Samsung phone. The only thing you can do is make or receive calls, send or receive SMS. That's about it. Some built-in apps may work (weather, HERE) to certain extent. Most apps won't without a phone.

Yepp, unpaired and alone this thing is dumber than a dumbphone. Not a problem for me actualy, I have a dual sim phone, so I just dump all the contacts to the sim card. I can see who's calling me and search my name in the dialer. The "contact" homescreen does not work, but that is fine by me.

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to run the gear s as stand alone and getting my contacts to appear was the main issue holding me back. I was happy to discover the trick about activating it without a Samsung phone and your contact trick might be all I need.
I carry two phones - work and private. My private phone is a phablet that I love (Nokia 1520) which I do all my emailing and browsing on. My work phone is just for calls and sms so the smaller the better (carrying two phones is a pain especially one being a phablet), but I need my contacts to sync via my exchange account so I use a small smartphone (Nokia 800). I'm hoping I can go Nokia 1520 and gear s stand alone using the tricks posted here.
The gear s seems like a perfect solution - I actually need the two phone numbers (and, yes I have thought about a dual sim phone but there are issues with that scenario). Although, I am suspecting that as much as I love my 1520 I might end up getting a Note 4 to make it all more convenient, but I just hate the thought of android, sorry.

I think Samsung may have out-of-the-box disabled that feature simply for that reason-- to encourage users to have to use it with a phone. However, on the Tizen Developer website they list the source code for a simple contact manager (ah! New user, can't post links yet... just Google the Tizen SDK) that is able to interface the contacts API. This should be pretty simple/straight forward to compile and implement for the watch with the SDK.
I haven't quite made a decision about whether to purchase the S, or if I had more time at the moment, I'd do it. However, my point being the contact restriction I believe is only concerned with the built in contact app... I see no reason why another app should not be able to access it and thus get around the apparent limitation.

Adding contacts to your Gear S2
You can add contacts. I just did it. You have to log into your online account via your cell phone provider.
Just got the Gear S, do not own a Samsung Phone, using it standalone (for now).

Hi, I need a little help. A friend of a friend ( so a person who I don't know ) asks me to add contacts in hers Gear S. At first I thought that she hadn't configured the watch, because she only has an iPhone and not a Samsung Phone. So, I wanted to activate the standalone mode ( 30 taps or something like that ) but when I have turn on the device, it was already configured. The device has a SIM card, so I tried to make a phone call, and it works. I can even see the phone calls log history ( I have read that it doesn't works on standalone watch, correct me if I am wrong ) so I am thinking It may have been paired with a Samsung phone... anyway, what can I do?
If I add contacts to the SIM, they can be read by the watch ( I googled and it seems not, but i want a confermation )?
I haven't a Samsung phone, but I have a rooted Nexus 5. If I follow a guide that allow me to pair my phone with the Gear S, can I add contacts? And then can I "un-pair" the devices so she can use the watch or something like that?
Sorry for these noob questions but I haven't be able to find good information online. I am a pretty expert Android phone user, but I know nothing about Tizen or smartwatch.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english, unfortunately it isn't my first language and I usually write only short message.

If there's contacts and other data already on her Gear S it was probably initially configured and paired to a Samsung device and that was the source of the data. The contact app on the Gear gets its feed from Samsung's contacts app on the host device. There's no way to add contacts individually in the Gear contacts app. Call logs are imported from the host device also. Call and texts made in stand-alone mode get added in the Gear's logs but don't transfer back to the phone. I can't answer the SIM contacts question because I don't store contacts there. The Gear S really isn't designed to be a "stand-alone" device as much as it is a "remote alternative" to always having to carry your Samsung phone around. People have gotten non-Samsung phones to work but a lot of key functionality ends up missing. Like being able to compose and manage e-mails and texts on the Gear which require the companion Samsung apps on the host device as their source.
I've read about Google voice to see if this would work,not sure. On at&t,unlocked note 9. Vacationing in europe. Need to be able to receive texts for work. Without buying the expensive att plan, can

To the best of my knowledge Google Voice works anywhere you can or are logged into Google. So as long as you will be logged into the device with your google account the Google Voice app will function anyplace it can reach the internet. I know making international calls cost and you can add money to your account or tie it to your Google Pay account but the Google Voice app should function the same delivering messages and voicemail to the app just like here in the states. The funny thing is when I read the header for you post the first thing that popped into my mind was Google Voice.

Windows 10 Your Phone and the Your Phone Companion app on Play Store allows you to send and receive text messages from your computer. It can sync items from your device, not 100% about MMS messages as I have not had a reason to send one just yet. This is the closest I can find that works good so far... I am sure there are other apps out there, this is the first one I found.
If you have T-Mobile at all using the Digits app is also a good way to gain access to texting/calling from a computer.
Myself I use both of Your Phone (and companion app) as well as the digits service. So far both apps/services work really good, no issues as of yet
