I have just aquired an Honor 10 and gear s3 watch. Try as I might, no amount of clearing data/cache has worked. Everything reinstalled multiple times... I have upgraded the firmware on the watch by pairing with another phone.
Basically the watch will pair with the phone, but the app/plugin crashes as soon as I accept the pairing. I think the S plugin fails to open, and the galaxy app then crashes. I'm not sure if this is better posted here or in the gear s3 forum, but to be honest this is driving me mad.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could throw any light on this!!

Don't really have experience with this myself but I heard that majority of non-samsung phones have issues with Samsung galaxy gear watches. You might consider refunding them and getting some wear OS watch instead, snapdragon 3100 for watches is launching soon and it'll be better anyway.

Is it possible to pair 2 different phones to the gear s at the same time?
I have a note 2 as a personal and a iphone 4 as a work phone.
I was able to pair the iPhone successfully...but not able to do both at the same time.
I get the message to reset the gear s...is there a way around this?
Any help or advice would be great!
Thanks!
So we are suppose to believe that you can pair iPhone with Watch S meanwhile you can't even pair non-Samsung Android phones with the watch without going through a lot of hacking?
Anyway, the watch works on a master-slave relationship with master being your phone and you can pair multiple watches to it. But not other way around, e.g. let the watch to listen to two masters. So, anytime you pair to another phone or even the same phone if you uninstalled the Gear Manager, it will have to reset.
So is it possible for someone to create a ROM that can bypass this and let you connect two phones to it?
Nothing is impossible but without rewrite the entire Watch S code to handle two masters, you can't. It is not a simple restriction but how it is architected from the beginning. Where is the source code for Watch S ?
Hi all,
Is there a way to connect the Gear S via BT to multiple phones?
Mine is already connected to a Galaxy S4 mini (as well as remotely connected many times), but i would love it if i could also connect via BT to my iPhone 6.
I know the functionality (when connected to the iPhone) will be severely handicapped (just phone calls) but still i would like to have that.
Thank you very much in advance.
UPDATE: I have found this thread bellow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/activate-gear-s-samsung-phone-t2932869/
Member @sticmou has come up with a possible solution but is is not quite what i was seeking for.
Ideally the watch should be able to connect to both my S4 mini and my iPhone 6.
Lol Samsung and apple don't play nice, they fight on the playground....I'll hand it to you ,you are very brave to even suggest this haha. Goodluck though I don't think it's possible

Hi there!
I have had progress. Unfortunately i am very busy right now, but i will get back soon with details. Maybe i will even make a video on my channel.
You may be surprised...
I am more interested in the opposite: making 2 Gear watches (Gear 1 and Gear S) work with one phone simultaneously - if it can be an iPhone, even better.
Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been covered, but all the info I can find is for the original Gear Fit.
Has anybody been able to get the Gear Fit 2 working with a custom rom on a Samsung Device? I'm trying to run LineageOS 14 on my GS5 but have had no success getting Open Fit or any of the Samsung Gear Manager APKs to talk to the gear. Bluetooth connection works fine, but can't get past that. I managed to get Gear Manager installed, but get a message "The operating system on your phone has been modified..." and I can't get past that screen.
Anybody had luck on the GF2 on custom roms?
Gear Fit2 works on ALL android phone with the PlayStore Gear Manager version
Ok it seems to work with some editing of the /system/build.prop file, then re-downloading the Samsung Gear app from the playstore. Works for CM14. See this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70243517&postcount=124
Hello,
I've been trying for days to connect a Gear Fit 2 to a Galaxy S 3 Mini.
I have tried on the S3 Mini both a 5.1.1 as well as a 6.0.1 of CM.
The build.prop I have modified and all "samsung" replaced by "htc".
Various Samsung Gear Apps I've tried (including Gear Plugin).
The app can not find the Gear Fit 2, pairing works
With an iPhone it works, as well with the S 7 Edge of my wife.
Any ideas ?
Many Thanks
Thomas

LOL. Of all brands, iPhones! Clearly you haven't heard about Louis Rossman's vendetta against Apple, hehe. While Samsung sucks regarding this issue in particular, it's still leagues above Apple. Though give it time and I'm sure it'll get worse. I really think we can't appreciate enough how valuable it is that Android is open source.
Hello,
since i have updatet to Android Nougat 7.0 last week i am unable to start the Android Wear app. The only thing i see is the Android Wear and the Google logo.
I have a Sony Smartwatch 3 and it wouldn't be very nice if this wouldn't work any more.
Could someone try, if the App works with another Z5C on Nougat?
Best Regards
Zillinda
it works on mine, i have a moto 260 gen 2, that is on wear 1.5.
i have intermittent bluetooth problems, the phone disables bluetooth sometimes.
I also have a smartwatch 3 at home that i stopped using a while ago, if you want i can check if i can pair it with my phone.
Also, i did a clean install of 32.3.0.378 and i wiped my watch to re-pair it with my phone

I am having the same problem. Have you found a fix for it yet. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with a Huawei watch. I am just getting the Android Wear Google logo and the app won't open. With that I can't resync my apps. It just started when my phone updated to nougat

I tried to reset my phone to factory status and now the app works.. I don't know what the problem was and it was really annoying to reinstall every app but now it works.

Hi all,
Just OTA upgraded my Z5 to Nougat and it immediately stopped my Sony Smartwatch 3 connecting, have tried resetting both phone and watch, to no avail. I then tried connecting my SW3 to my wives older sony phone and it worked perfectly, is anyone else having the same problem.
I have been a very loyal Sony customer over the years, but now after promising in writing that they would upgrade the SW3 to android wear 2.0 and then going back on their word and now not being able to use it at all since their official nougat upgrade, don't think I will buying another Sony Phone or accessory ever again, they used to be brilliant, really don't know what has happened to them lately.
Many thanks for your time in this matter, I look forward to reading your comments on this matter.
Kindest Regards - Ashe.
Hey guys!
Bought myself a Stratos 3 early this summer which was replaced under warranty because the battery was drained in a few hours, GPS unable to locate etc.
However, I could pair it with the (then) Amazfit App on my iPhone 11.
Last week I got my brand new replacement device which is impossible to pair with the (new) Zepp app. I’ve tried a million tips found online but it just won’t pair with my phone. I’ve scanned the QR code about 5000 times without success.
Tried with a friend’s Samsung model whatever and managed to link the device to my account. Then the watch is “unlocked”.
However, when trying to open the settings I keep getting the message “Unfortunately settings has stopped”. It still won’t sync with the iPhone and when resetting the device to factory settings I’m back at square one, unable to pair with iPhone.
Latest firmware in place according to the device when it’s “working”.
I’ve already contacted the company I’ve bought it from and I will return it the coming Monday.
However, I do like the looks of it and functions (when it’s working) so I thought I’d check with you guys if there are any ideas to get it working properly.
Thanks in advance!
Just update thé watch to latest Fw (search New Fw from the watch connected in WiFi) the app is unable to find it.
How do I do that when the watch says it has the latest fw?
Connect the watch to the WiFi then check update from the watch
So, i did pair it again with the Android, updated the device to latest fw.
It still won’t sync with my iPhone
Wonder if it’s something wrong with the Zepp app?
Anyway, I’ve had it with Amazfit. I’m returning it tomorrow.
I’m sorry to hear that, hope you approached [email protected]
I did the same thing, made a video and shared it with them selling hello. Eventually with a lot of issues. I gave up on the Stratos 3 Watch.
Now I don’t have to worry.
Plppppppppp
I haven’t reached out to their support, I cannot really see that they could help me out with this.
Anyway, fed up with trying to get it to work with me so it’s being sent back.
Might get an Honor Magicwatch 2 instead, they seem quite similar both in appearance and function.
Are you sure?? Does it work with iPhone as in iOS
As a last resort sort of try, I reached out to their support but to say the least, their support sucks a*s!
Haven’t sent it back yet, but will any day now.
Can anyone confirm that their Stratos 3 works fine with the iOS Zepp app? Particularly, Stratos 3 and an iOS iPhone 11? The fact that the watch works fine with Samsung Android devices but not with my (or anyone else’s iOS) device suggests that it’s their iOS Zepp app that’s corrupt!
Thanks!
Here many problems with iOS an Stratos 3. But same problems with both Zepp and Amazfit
New Zepp update for iOS released today
They’ve released numerous app updates during the past weeks/months but none of them has cured my problem
I’m traveling today but will check when I get home, fingers crossed.
Nope, doesn’t work.
With this I give up on any Amazfit/Huami watches (and all other products).
When clearly pointing out that Stratos 3 and the iOS Zepp app doesn’t work, total silence from the Amazfit support.
Never have I had a worser customer experience but I guess that I shouldn’t expect more..
