Hi! So, I recently got my new S21 Ultra 5G! Yay! Little did I know, my beloved Gear S would be rendered useless. Does anyone know of a workaround for the clearly purposeful incompatibility? Thanks!
Welcome to XDA
Samsung ended support.
Try the Samsung forum.
Try copying the most recent working apps for it from another phone with ApkExport and try loading them on the S21u.
You will need to firewall block updates and Samsung's connection to it most likely or it will get trashed if it installs/loads successfully.

Didáctica you find a solucionar to use it?
Install Android Wear. It has been discontinued for a while. I couldn't get it to work with my Note 9 even back a few years ago.

Picked up my Japanese S3 today and looking to root it. I'm reading that using the I9300 is no go since it is a completely different model number. Specs for anyone interested:
Baseband:
SC06DOMLF5
Kernel:
[email protected]
Build:
IMM76D.SC06DOMALF5
If I can provide anything else let me know.

The Japanese version doesn't have NFC, only Japan's long-established equivalent.
Anyway, I love the phone, but I can't wait until some of the geniuses on here come up with an easy way to root it.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.
またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.
SamMobile has a rom out for SC-06D. As soon as the DL finishes gonna give it a go since I tried the I9300 and it just black screens.
i seen that but i was pretty sure that was just the stock rom...which is really helpful if a bad rom is loaded and need to go back to stock...ive downloaded it too and keeping it to the side for emergencies....
The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?
Hi all
Just registered to join in on this thread.
This is my first smartphone and was all excited for the s3,
only to be unpleasantly surprised by the docomo palette ui...
I knowledge my noob status, so please be gentle with me.

My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.
The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

Hey just got my phone today from Docomo. Let me know when you find a root for it. I just added apex launcher , but need to get rid of all the Docomo crap
A lot of the DoCoMo apps can be uninstalled

Just tried this rooting method, managed to get root on sc-06d

You need to install busybox seperately, but it works!

If you lack Japanese skills I would be hesitant to root. Some of the warnings that come up will not be in english. Not to mention that all the development on the root was done by Japanese and the "documentation" will be as well.
This is my first Android device (and my first post )
I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.
I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?
One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.
Hello guys. So, I have an opportunity to buy a pretty cheap Moto 360 and my Redmi Note 3 still hasn't arrived. And it won't arrive soon, but the opportunity to buy the watch will be gone by then. My question is, does anyone have problems pairing those two and do they work fine together? I see people are having problems, probably due to MIUI battery management or whatnot. Can anyone tell me how good these work together? Thanks!

OK, glad to hear that. Was worrying that it might not work properly or something. BTW, can you check the trusted devices feature. As far as I have read, on MIUI it only works with the Mi Band. Maybe that changed. Can you check?

Yes I have checked that, unfortunately smart lock feature does not work with any of its options. There is rumor that it will work with Marshmallow.

Hey all, I hope you can help me a bit. Since few weeks I've back to use mine old phone S4 Active. When I was using J5(2016) everything was running clear, but since I've switch to S4Active, I have a little problem with mine GearFit2- yes it paired sucessfull BUT, i can't install such apps like Endomondo or even new themes on mine GF2 ;/ Any ideas why? It was 100% fine with J5 but now this... . And no, I will not go back to J5- it's way slower than mine 5years old S4Active xD
Thanks in advance
Hey,
So I was a Samsung user since a long time. I decided to go for Oneplus 6 as it took too much attention. Now I am missing Samsung's pop up window mode. Which was quite useful for me. And no, I am not talking about split screen... I have tried several apps like - Taskbar, FloatingApps etc.. But they don't work smooth and lags too much, at least for me... And Samsung's pop up windows mode works like charm, even in budget phones like J7 Prime (I have one as a backup mobile).. writing this post after spending a full day searching for such mod.
please don't say buy a Samsung mobile. I am happy with my Oneplus 6..
any idea if there is any way to add that feature or any custom rom which supports pop up multi window mode?
Oneplus 6, running stock OOS 9.0.3, no root.. will unlock bootloader and root the device if needed.....
Thank you
Hey, did you ever find an answer to your question? I recently switched from Samsung Note series to a OP 7 Pro & I'm looking for a way to restore this functionality. My device is already rooted, but so far I'm not finding what I'm looking for.

No man, still got no clue about that feature.
Hi,
I lost my Samsung S9, so my parents gave me a new LG G5 phone as a replacement. Still in box with all the screen protector, wrappers, etc. because they already had a phone at the time and never ended up using it. So it's basically a brand new phone, with an ancient Oreo Android 8.0 OS. It's a zippy phone, and it's lovely to have a battery sit at 100% for hours on standby (whereas my daily-use Samsung S9 would drop to 99% after a 15 minutes of standby)
All would be fine, except there's two apps I use that need Android 10 - DUO authenticator (which I need for work) and Lastpass.
So I started looking into upgrading the OS, and found these forums. I'd be fine with switching to a custom ROM, but have a few questions:
What custom mod would you recommend for someone merely looking for Android 10 compatibility? I've read that one can lose hardware functionality with custom roms...what are the "known issues"?
Does anyone know whether Lastpass or DUO install on these custom roms?
I'm also happy for someone to just send me a link somewhere that can answer these questions!
Thanks!

Which G5 are you talking about?
If it's a new H850 the bootloader is not any longer unlockable as LG ceased that service.
My unlocked H850 did loose only FM (didn't find any app working with it) and is working fine with lineage-18.1-20220320-nightly-h850-signed.
Don't know about DUO but Lastpass shouldn't care about a non-stock ROM.
Btw did you hear/read about the Lastpass security breach? Wouldn't trust them any longer.
Agree with that last statement. They have been caught lying and half-truths since the hack/breach so I would ditch them to another service and now change your passwords.
Hi, thanks for the replies. But I've solved the problem by getting a used Samsung S20.
But I'm still curious about updating my LG-G5 phone (H831) to make it somewhat software-compatible. I guess my question was more about what Android version is equivalent to Lineage-18.1 . DUO and Lastpass needed Android 10, and I don't know what version of Android Lineage-18.1 (or any of the other custom roms) are branched from.
As for choice of password manager, what are y'all using? I need an Android, iPhone, and web client.
Looks like I can't even consider a modded rom .
I found a post that says:
H831 = Canadian market. Bootlocked. Can't be rooted.

I'm using Keepass and used to have the database on my AVM attached NAS (accessible from via mobile as well).
Now I've switched to store that on an online-storage of my mail provider where I have read/write access as well.
Using either Keepass2android on my android devices and Keepass2 on my Linux Mint 21 system.
Quite easy to configure and always working.
There should be an app for Iphone available which can work with kdbx files.
