Ok so now I am having the same issues as someone mentioned earlier. I had to reset my watch because it was giving me issues. I tried the latest rom which is found a couple pages ago. Now the weird thing is, under settings/bluetooth, I am able to see the watch but under the Wear app, it cannot see it. Any ideas? I tried everything too...:confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Welcome back!

I believe it was the last one listed in the OP.
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
Yea I saw that. I believe it's an Android Wear issue. I see others commenting the same thing or at least I hope...
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Please take a look at my previous posts. The key is to clear all data from the Wear 2 app and the watch. Not sure why you and others are having issues while many others, including myself have not had any issues with the watch showing as being connected in the Wear App.

Interesting News: https://www.androidcentral.com/google-changes-play-store-policies-android-wear-apps

Anyone know what it means for the Gear 2?
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
Oh believe me I've tried over and over. I was recently paired with no issue. Besides the receiving a phone call bug which I mentioned earlier. I was good. Had to reset the watch because of a separate issue and now I cannot connect no matter what. I honestly believe its the latest Android Wear update causing the dilemma. Has anyone here lately wiped their watch and tried repairing with wear?
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Well, if it is, I'm not going to try to wipe. Lol!
[Samsung Gear 2] sgoldbach:
Yes, many many times. I did exactly all the steps and I never see my Gear2 in Wear App, but I see my Gear2 in BT pairing window.
[Samsung Gear 2] reflame:
Had the same problem until I tried an older Android Wear 2 version (apkmirror). The one I used was a beta. Then I updated to current version.
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
Gave this a shot and at first I thought it didn't work because once I opened up the Wear app it immediately made me update it. So I did and it still wouldn't see my watch. Hit the 3 dot menu and clicked "show all devices", or something like that. BAM!!! There she was 'Gear 2 3181' lol. :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] sgoldbach:
yay, it's fixed, finally

:laugh: Hey Alxoom33, good news. I finally got my Gear 2 shown in Android Wear connecting window (after a week trying almost everything).

This time I was trying two new things at the same time so I'm not sure yet which one fixed it: - This time I installed last version ROM using the very last version of Odin, along installing one very old version of Android Wear (1.1.1.2113877).

In all my previous tries I always proceeded the other steps you told me earlier (to clear Android Wear data before uninstall, etcetera) and this time it was not different, so that probably helped too.

Thank you so much and I hope that it will help others and on future developments.

Sidney
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Sidney,

Congratulations, I'm glad your up and runniing.
[Samsung Gear 2] sgoldbach:
new updates...

Hello guys, After I got everything working fine as I told above, then a few days later my phone automatically updated the Android Wear app.

The good and the bad news:

- It's everything still working fine and the connection and notifications seems even better.

- But on every call I get on my phone the Gear 2 just reboots (restarts) from nothing.

It's weird but not really a bad thing once the boot is fast and I'm now taking advantage of the very last version on both devices.

I'm still very happy even with this weird bug.

Good luck everyone
[Samsung Gear 2] daroota:
Yeah that's normal. I'm guessing the it throws the watch an unhandled exception and then it restarts the watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] mikle_01:
Really great - wanted to connect my beloved Gear 2 with my new S8 I had the same error. First thought, it was out of order.... then flash back Tizen -> no problem -> flash again nearly all versions from Biktor - no change. Then I read the posts of the last weeks and BAM: it works!! Thanks foks!

1. Took the last ROM

2. install the Android Wear (1.1.1.2113877)

But what happend, if Android Wear update itselfs from Playstore!? I choose "exclude from Playstore" in Titanium Backup, but don't know, if it works....

EDIT

: Update Adndroid Wear to last Playstore version and it's still working!

Hi I know I'm late to this thread and I've been searching it. But I just bought a gear 2 after having an LG g watch. I loved my g , and thought the gear 2 would be similar but with a speaker. I was wrong. So I wanted to know if this would make my gear 2 more like the LG g watch but with a speaker? I understand the call on watch isn't functional. does ok Google work on this version? I hate s voice.
[Samsung Gear 2] Unix_Dominator:
Yup "Okay Google!" works perfectly for me, using latest March 4th ROM (Android Wear 6)

Ok I took the advice and flashed it on too my gear 2. No problems with that but I can't get Android Wear to recognize it . I tried deleting my Android Wear app and loading the 1.5 version but as soon as I open it it won't do anything till I update. How are you pairing with Android Wear in 1.5 ?

Thank you so much!!
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
I had the same issue. What I did was go ahead and update the app. Once updated, hit the 3 dot menu and select show all devices. And if I'm not mistaken, it should then show up.
[Samsung Gear 2] daevoq:
Man i've same issues.. can u tell me what 3 dot menu? on android wear app?
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
Yea in the wear app. Whenever you're trying to find your watch, there should be a 3 dot menu.
[Samsung Gear 2] daevoq:
No 3 dot menu at all :( the watch will be recognized in bluetooth menu but not on wear app :crying:

here's a screenshot
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
I'm sorry. I meant the main screen. When you open up Android Wear there will be a 3 dot menu.
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
If I recall correctly, without a watch already paired, there are no menu choices.
[Samsung Gear 2] Starkat1218:
Yeah I got passed by pairing my friends watch but it still doesn't have an option for pairing in the three dots menu. It just offered more options for the current paired watch and legal notices. Any idea how to work the 1.5 version to let me do it without updating before connecting?
[Samsung Gear 2] treezy26:
I don't quite remember how I did it but I do remember turning that switch on before I could get it to find the watch. :confused:
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I here ya. I've done it many times and it seems like a different procedure, to get it done, each time.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
How do I know I have the latest Android Wear on my Gear 2?

I downloaded GNeo_AndroidWear_2016_0708.tar and ODIN'ed it to my rooted Gear 2 and it booted and paired fine with my Moto G5 Plus.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
There is a July 16 you tube post with the latest build. Look for my post some pages back.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Ok, confirmed in SETTINGS / ABOUT. I have same Build MWD48B, AW 1.5.0.2884951, Android 6.0.1

Will the phone functionality ever be like the Tizen where you can talk to/from the watch? That's really the only thing I miss about the old OS and using my old Samsung Note 4 (R.I.P. - and I might just repair the screen, not sure yet, but I do miss that phone!)
[Samsung Gear 2] mikle_01:
My goodness..... look into the last 2-3 pages....There is a solution. Summary in my post
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
No, not without a new developer. It's EOL and most have moved on to other devices.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
What a shame. Great watch (price is $59.99 @ N1 Wireless) not bad for an Android Wear 1.5 (Android 6.0.1) with MOST of it working, some dev should take over this, watch is great, it even has an IR blaster (i actually use it now with Android Wear 6.0.1 and all my TV's but only 1 Audio device - sent dev a msg for source code so I can add my devices myself but no response) and speakerphone/bt headset capability but it might be a Samsung copyright issue? IDK... I wish they finished this port, I have 3 Gear 2 watches (2 Neos and 1 with camera, I know camera don't work, and don't care much about it, I never used it on Tizen anyways LOL!)
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Any way to avoid the reboots on calls? Maybe removing some permission(s)?

Also, I was reading, wear mini launcher stops working and a lot of watchfaces, is there a way, like in phones, to wipe that specific app's data?
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
LOL.... They are filtering now the Gear 2 out of the Android Wear Manager (AWM) app. It's not going to help, they should just leave it, like the Gear Live (it's Android Wear I believe) Thanks for this info, I d/l the 1.1.1 version and it worked, I was able to pair a 2nd Gear 2 after my AWM updated to 2.x.x

EDIT: They re-added the checkbox! :) I can now pair my watches with AWM 2.0
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Another annoyance I found is a few apps dissapear and I have to reinstall them on the phone. Is there an easier way to re-install them on the watch? I was thinking about extracting the .APKs and saving them on my email in case I need to reinstall on the watch I can adb install them. But if there is like a database that tells the watch to download from Wear Play Store certain apps I would like to know if that's possible otherwise I need to extract appfour's keyboard which allows me to use regular android apps on my watch that need keyboard (i.e. Honeywell Thermostat app, I can control my air conditioning. WOOT!) WEAR MINI LAUNCHER does not uninstall but it FC, but I figured out how to clear it's DATA and set it up using ADB & "pm clear com.npi.wearminilauncher" but the dissapearing apps I need to keep on my email and install as needed. Any ideas???
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Ok, today I experienced the reboot on a phone call, even though I didn't pick up because I was in the middle of my workout, had to pause my workout (in fear of the watch not reporting correct data to Google Fit) which I had to uninstall new Fit and install an older version, 1.54.08-008 (search for it in APKMirror) and unlink from Market (with TitaniumBackup Pro) and the Fit on Android Wear 1.5 port started working flawlessly. It doesn't have all the bells & whistles as the new Fit (like tracking your walks, etc etc) but it gives you the essential information, steps, distance, speed, calories burned (daily/walking) separated.

Can we somehow fix this reboot issue? It would be nice to find the culprit and fix it. Without the reboots, who cares about using the watch to talk on the phone or play music on the watch? I'm tempted to try to stop the phone app on the watch to see what happens.... (hopefully I don't end up boot-looping....) Anybody tried this already?

EDIT: "ps | grep phone" in ADB shows "com.google.android.apps.wearable.phone" process running from USER "u0_a#", WCHAN (whatever that is) is "sys_epoll_"
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I posted this, in the Q /A thread, but no response.

I'd really like to get thing thing paired.

I got a Moto Z2 Play unlocked for all US carriers version, which is a on Android 7.1.1

My Gear 2 Neo is on version 6 beta 3 Zenwatch version of this ROM.

The watch will not connect to the phone via Android Wear. AW will simply not recognize. I've cleared DALVIK, CACHE and DATA from the watch and cleared data on the AW app, several times each.

I tried side loading com.google.android.wearable.app_1.5.0.3250495.gms-749504950_minAPI18(nodpi)_apkmirror.com

but it wouldn't go past a couple steps without mandatory update.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All I did was enable the checkbox on the new AWM 2.0.0.16953239.gms menu, "Show all devices when pairing" and my watches (all 4 Gear 2/Gear 2 Neo) showed up.

I haven't tried that, will try next. EDIT: Did not work, still shows call.

I tried "pm disable com.google.android.apps.wearable.phone" but it just took the blue phone icon from the menu list, the watch still rang and boot-looped.
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I cannot find the SHOW ALL DEVICES option.

Hey everyone, please note that the OP no longer supports this thread and roms.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
I can't be more specific, it's in the menu (3 dots) on AWM 2.0.0.169953239.gms <-- Maybe check APK Mirror for this version? I have 3 Gear 2/Gear 2 Neo's ATM paired, waiting on my 4th one to arrive, bought the Gold one with a gold writstband. :D We really need to fix this reboot issue, it's the only bad thing about it. Again, playing out of phone's speaker is not priority nor is it talking through the watch or take pictures (Gear 2 non-Neo) at 2MP??? <--- LOL
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Yeah, we're trying to get some attention to see if someone can pick up from where OP left off or maybe shed some light to avoid the boot-loops on phone calls.

[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
What's funny is Gear 2 & Gear S3 comparison, not much has changed:

Gear 2:

Dual core 1GHz processor

1.63-inch square Super AMOLED (320 x 320)

512MB ROM/4GB RAM

300mAh

BT 4.0

No GPS, WiFi or NFC

IP67

Gear S3:

Dual core 1GHz processor

1.3-inch circular Super AMOLED (360 x 360)

768MB ROM/4GB RAM

380mAh

BT 4.2

GPS, WiFi & NFC <--- What impressed me, the rest is the same...

IP68

Gear 2 is still a great watch, still have 4 of them, working perfect, and now on Android Wear 1.5 so I am guessing I can get at least a year or two out of them before me pulling the plug on them (OR ME GETTING UPSET AT THE REBOOTS! LOL!.) It's got Android 6.0.1 it's even better than my Android Car HU that is 4.4.4 and the 5.1.1 is a bit buggy and I still use that, been using it for 3 years non-stop, it even has a 4G LTE USB modem.

I have a Nixon Mission. Really love that watch!

I still take out my old Gear 2 for use once in a while, running the last build with AW 1.5.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
That Nixon Mission is nice! Highest water proof and quad 1.2GHz (Snapdragon Wear 2100) But $400 vs $60 (Gear 2 Neo) it's a lot of $$$caching...

http://www.n1wireless.com/samsung-gear-2-neo-smartwatch-charcoal-black.html

And here is a pic of the same Gear 2 Neo watch (I bought one) with a black SS writstband, the one I am using today... Also have a gold with gold wristband, silver with silver wristband and a Gear 2 Neo grey with original wristband, but I am seriously thinking about buying a charcoal grey or a matching grey wristband for it.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Well the good news is I got a nice discount on my Nixon mission... I still like my gear 2 and take it off the charger on occasion.

Hi. So far pretty happy with AW on Gear2 but there are couple of annoying things. 1st is random but often resets while incoming call and second is battery drain but this is I guess common AW 1.5 problem. Hope we will soon have someone who can continue biktor's great job.
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Not the phone, the watch. It was a typo, the watch is the one not rooted. My phone IS rooted (and the watch via adb is also "rooted" but apps do not have SU nor busybox and it will not install on watch's TWRP either)

I need at least "su" on the watch and if possible busybox.

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------

I downloaded the Play Store app and paired all of my 4 Gear 2's with AW 1.5... Not sure why ppl are having problem... but a similar fix was posted a few pages back. (To use AWM 1.1.0 I believe)

On my AWM from Play Store for some odd reason it lets me put a checkbox to show all bluetooth devices and it does not filter out Gear 2 watches.

---------- Post added at 02:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

The reset/reboot is a known issue and believe me I am desperate into finding out if we can fix that issue. As for battery drain, I haven't noticed much of a difference. And I do have a watch face that monitors and updates my heartbeat, steps and weather, so even though I have the screen off and wrist gesture turned off it drains a bit the battery, but I get a whole day's worth without charge on my watches and still have 15% left after the day is over.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
LOL! My post had a typo, as well. It should have said "you can root the watch with SuperSu.zip..."

You need to read the OP and search the thread. It is in there! But you are the one who needs to look for it...
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Yeah, I read. It's for 5.1.1 (the root) I couldn't find the 6.0.1 root and even tried the 5.1.1 but it did not work.

Tried several 6.0.1 root zip files as wll with no luck.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Just use a current Superuser SU zip file
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
I did try, that was the first thing I did, then I started trying other versions, even a beta, it will not stick. App still says watch is not rooted. I even tried to run "su" or "busybox" and they do not exist.
[Samsung Gear 2] rtlinux:
So, been trying for days now to get my gear 2 Neo (wear 1.5 with 6.0.1) to be seen on my S6 Edge + even tried reverting the wear app way back but it CONSTANTLY forces me to upgrade before I can do anything and as such the Gear 2 Neo is never found. :( Is there a way to upgrade the wear portion of the watch without connecting to the phone so I can get it going again?
[Samsung Gear 2] m4f1050:
Wonder why my Android Wear Manager (latest version) has a checkbox to "show all devices when pairing" and others don't...
[Samsung Gear 2] Czaja0:
Install version 1.1.1.21 used this one - 'com.google.android.wearable.app-1.1.1.2113877-702113877-minAPI18.apk'. Next pair it with your gear watch. Should be visible now and then upgrade Android Watch app to the latest version. Good luck

Hey All,

I'm working on getting this to pair with my note 8. I downloaded android wear from the app store and hit set it up. I used the latest zip found at the top of the thread for gear2 wear6 rel6. Unless there is one newer that I missed. The phone will see it via bluetooth but the app is a no go. I saw reports of hitting the three dots in the top but I do not have those to do show all devices. Anyone able to point me in the right direction.

Well I did a little more digging and found that for the note 8 you gotta download the Android Wear - Smartwatch 2.0.0.134587396 beta as someone else had mentioned. Once that was installed it found my watch. I loved this thing and it was a fathers day present so I was glad that I found the charger again. I lost it for a few months there but now I'm back in business. WOO HOO!!
[Samsung Gear 2] Jaitsu:
Guys, I wish I could sticky my own post but I can't: The "Show All Devices" option is not always there. I think it appears if a watch has previously been synced with the phone, but if you start from scratch or wipe the app's data, that checkbox just isn't there. In some versions, there's no dot menu at all, in others there is but there's no "show all devices" option. The only reliable way I've found to pair nowadays is to use this ancient version of the Android Wear app, pair with it, let it do its song and dance, then update the app and everything works just fine. Bit of a pain, but reliable.
[Samsung Gear 2] pizza_pablo:
I tried an older version of AW, when my new Moto Z2 Play would only see my Neo in the Bluetooth menu. The AW app had to be updated, before I could even get to the pairing.

It seems, but I am unsure because of getting so many times, that is you have another watch already paired to AW, then the SHOW ALL DEVICES option is present.

Like I said, I'm not certain what causes that option to be available in the 3 Dot menu, because I thought I had tried everything and the SHOW ALL did not appear, but after I rooted my Z2 Play and paired a Fossil watch, the SHOW ALL option was there, allowing me to pair my Neo.
