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
Hello,
Please help me, I followed the guide on this page https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/development/dev-gear-s-android-port-t3177740
and It worked getting android wear on my gear s watch. But then when I was using Odin to install Stock Firmware. It goes into an endless boot loop.
To make matters worse, I tried putting back android wear (Which worked the first time) and now it also goes in an endless boot loop.
So now I'm back on the Latest Stock firmware which still has a boot loop, and which I downloaded from sammobile.com.
Can someone explain why there is an endless boot loop and give a solution?
Thank You
Solved
Hello. I think i found the 'bug'
After a couple of hours of testing the Gear S i discovered that the looping issue is caused by the way the watch is handling notifications. Everythings fine when the Gear S is constantly connected with bluetooth and mobile network/wifi. The trouble starts when the connection changes from bluetooth to mobile network/wifi. When the gear is set to 'automatic on/off it will take a while to connect, about a minute with my gear. If a notification reach your cell phone during the time a new connection is set up on the Gear, there will be no connection. The flashing/looping of the screen starts when a bluetooth connection is re-established and the 'hanging' notification(s) are pushed to the Gear.
Solutions:
- disable notifications
- delete the notifications from your cell phone when connected with bluetooth, after that the looping stops immediatly
- connect to a network before you're out of bluetooth reach
Important note: this works on my Gear, no problems anymore since. Hope this works for you too, let me know!
sorry for my poor english...
Hello guys, i tried to search for simmilar thread but unsuccessfully.
I have a weird problem i would like to try reasolving without factory reset, which is known to work.
I have Android 5.1 or 5.1.1 device (more of them, this problem occurs only on this specific OS versions, on brands: Sansung, Lenovo, Evolveo) where i use bluetooth device.
Device was paired prior to this problem, and then unpaired.
This is when problems started. When I try to pair device again, popup for entering pin is showed, but afer, like, one second later it is "cancelled" and there is toast message shown with text: Couldn't pair to xxx because of an incorrect PIN or Passkey. I tried to delete cache and data of Bluetooth and Bluetooth share, but without any success with pairing. This all looks like Android has somewhere stored previous PIN and tries to use it once again although new pairing was initiated. Only known functional solution to me is factory reset, which, as i mentioned, i would love to avoid.
Is there any chance to solve this issue?
I can provide logs if necessary.
Thanks in advance
EDIT:
Investigation proved that this issue was caused by Google Play services. Stopping this service allows pairing to be completed without problem... Investigating even further
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
