I encountered a strange problem that happened at the beginning when my Gear S was connected to my Wife´s Note 4 and now it happened with my Note EDGE:
On Saturday connection was just normal (as it was for the entire week since I have my Note EDGE), but when I tried to connect on Sunday the pop-up window "connecting" with the circling circle appeared, never vanished and Gear Manager hung up, BUT: when looking into BT-connections it stated: connected, when looking on my Gear S BT-state told me: not connected.
Had to uninstall Gear Manager, reset Gear S, reinstall from scrap, now it´s working again.
Anybody has a clue why and how this happens and how to solve ? It is tremendously annoying to reset the Gear S once a week and reinstall everything from the scrap, loosing all S Health data on the watch .............
(Sorry: did a search in XDA on this topic but did not find anything, so if already a therad concerning this exists: maybe I am too dumb for a correct search.....)
I think I am having a similar issues. My excercise is logged on my watch, but won't sync with shealth.

how can I fix it, please help me.thx.
I've found that there are apps that cause the Bluetooth not to automatically reconnect once you're back by your phone. Is this what you're talking about? If so start deleting one app at a time and reboot every time.

Hello everybody. I received a new Gear S has a present. Yesterday it was working, but today everytime I connect it to the phone, a message appers saying "The program saproviders has stopped", making the phone unusable. every time I click ok it keeps popping up agian until I disconnect the gear.
I have a Samsung S4 with Thunder Universe Rom, that I was using with the Gear 1 with no problem whatsoever. The fact that I don't understand is why it was working yesterday with the gear S (just paired and use it out of the box), but it is not working today. I did not do anything exept charging the gear.
i tried unpairing the Gear 1, I thought there could have been some conflict, but did not make any difference.
I tried to uninstall and install the gear manager and pair the Gear S again, same problem. I tried uninstalling the saproviders application using TB, it reinstalls immediately by itself and keep crushing as soon as I connect the gear.
it works only if I freeze saproviders, but of course this limits some functionalities (like controlling music from the phone, for example).
I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM, because it was working yesterday with the same ROM. It is driving me insane.
Any ideas?
thank you very much in advance!

Try to Reset your gear S to factory definitions.
I have the Gear S and the Note 4 (both through T-Mobile). I have noticed that when I move out of bluetooth range of my phone, the watch connects remotely so that I can take calls on the watch, but when I come back within bluetooth range of the phone the watch will not automatically reconnect via bluetooth. It remains connected remotely (even when the phone and the watch are sitting right next to one another). Am I doing something wrong, or am I just going to have to reestablish the bluetooth connection manually?

It not gonna reconnect right away. Blue tooth would have to be scanning non stop. Then people will complain about battery dying fast. Also it takes about 10 min for it to search and connect depending on your phone.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
Thanks a lot. That explanation actually makes a lot of sense.
That's not quite how Bluetooth works, however this fix for this issue is straight forward.
Un install Samsung Gear from your phone. Reset your Gear S, install Samsung Gear, reconnect phone and restore data.
Bluetooth should re connect within seconds after you walk away from your phone.
This broke because of an issue in an update patch to the Samsung Gear software. The patch does not upgrade the software properly, and a re installation is required.
I had the same issue with my Note Edge and Gear S.
Fixed now though.
I had the same issue and re installed yesterday and it connected. What I found to be annoying was I had to completely delete Samsung app store from note or I couldn't install apps from Sammy. It would download then during install process it would fail with error code -112 . It may have something to do with when I fix permission in recovery but it only started doing that after latest update. It's annoying but I guess the temp solution is easy to fix
I have similar problem with bluetooth. When I turn off bluetooth and then turning on the Gear won't to connect. On the phone request pair code for bluetooth appears, but on Gear appears: GT-I9301I is attepting to connect to your Gear. To connect to GT-I9301I, the gear will be reset to its factory settings..When the device is reset, it connect properly and everything work fine until I turn bluetooth off. Then again want to reset the device. My Gear is SM-R750A and phone is GT-I9301I. I try to re-install Gear Manager, reset phone, reset Gear, but still have tis problem.

I have made a thread describing how to fix this....In a nut shell you need to completely uninstall gear mgr and galaxy apps and delete the apps in gear manager under the manage apps then click all which is beside the updates tab. Also uninstall all updates to galaxy apps. This will fix issue. here is the xda thread link. Follow it to a t and you will be good l. Let me know your outcome.

I try this, but didn't work. I think the problem is Bluetooth of the phone, becouse I paired Gear S with two different phone and work fine. Also when I try to pair phone with bluetooth in car it appears same problem - connect only first time. Is there any way to re-install the Bluetooth or to change driver or something like that.
Try deleting data in app manager for anything bluetooth related. Factory reset phone if that doesn't work. If you are on a custom rom reinstall rom and see if that helps, research if a different kernel works better. Good luck
Turn off "Use Remote Connection" in the Gear S app settings on your phone. Problem solved
Actually, ignore my previous response, that did not solve the issue.
What did, however, was unpairing then reparing the Gear S to my phone. No problems since

I had the same issue and used the suggestion above and it didn't work.
I uninstalled on the device, reset gear, then reinstalled on device and reconnected...bluetooth did connect. I walked away came back and the gear didn't reconnect automatically. I had to reconnect from the phone side. THIS SUCKS!!!
Anyone have any other suggestions? i have gear s and NOTE 3 (android 5.0)

Note 5 and Gear S not reconnecting automatically
My New Note 5 has the same problem, not reconnecting after phone and watch are back together. I have to manually flip on phone use in bluetooth settings. This is still after factory resetting phone and watch. Is there any updated fixes

gear s cyanogenmod os unable to connect to galaxy s4
Hello
I have installed cyanogenmod 12.1 in my gear s. Now trying to pair the gear s by installing samsung gear app in mobile (S4) but mobile is unable to find my gear s. then i tried android wearable app. In android wearable it detects the gear s but for long time unable to sync the data. I also found that bluetooth gets disconnected (either from gear s or S4 that unable to understand). Please help how do i pair my S4 with gear s. DO i have to install any software in gear s?
Hello someone managed to solve even me notes 3 and gear s when disconnected with the bluetooth will not re connects
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'm having a problem when I'm trying to update my gear fit. When I turned on my gear fit, my smartphone said that there was an update. So I started downloading it, but for some reasons the gear fit disconnected itself from the smartphone. Since then I'm trying to reconnect it to continue the update, but without results. I tried to connected it to my laptop, but it doesn't find the smartwatch. Neither Kies nor Odin can find it. What can I do? I'm quite worry
I can still try to connect it to my phone but after some minutes of connection it stops working. (I guess it's a problem of the Bluetooth passkey, because I can't accept the passkey on the gear). Thanks for your help
