[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
I am on CPC5, updated with a Korean friend's galaxy s7, my watch went into Korean language. I restarted, connected to the Samsung Gear Lite app on iphone and most of the things work (language EN).

Sometimes the apps stop at 100%, I just switch off the app, switch off the watch, turn it on and turn on the app and some apps that previously loaded till 100% only, load fully onto the watch.

And the battery experience is better now. Previously I started using the watch at 7am, and at 11pm I had around 30% (normal usage, wifi off, HR off, ~50-80 notifications,. Now after this update, I tested it couple of times (same usage) and from 7am till 11pm I still get 55%. And I even play with S-voice (which I activate with "Hey, Siri" , samsung will kick me for that XD ), sometimes it keeps the wheel spinning for 1-2 seconds longer than normal but it gets all my commands pretty right.
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
I also updated to the cpc4 via wifi, but it didn't enable the "app layout" in the gear manager app... Did you do something after the update?
[Samsung Gear S2] pauly_long:
I reset and then paired my phone with my watch again. At this point id rather be able to install apps than reorder them ...

synchronise agenda iphone

Hi everybody,

First of all, thank you for all the info I get throw this forum : now, thanks to that, my iphone is connected to my gear s2 watch and everything is working well ; I have just a problem : my iphone has a main agenda (professional one) and a gmail one (personal one), which I don't use. The only agenda available in my watch is the gmail one. I have tried everything on my iphone (including deleting the gmail agenda) to get on my watch the main agenda (pro one) without any result.

Any idea to resolve this issue ?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] Eyallerner:
Hi, my gear is connected right now with bt to my iPhone, so I get all the notifications and alerts. I'm wondering if there is any advantage of moving to iOS lite app? What more new apps can I download by using this lite iOS app ?
[Samsung Gear S2] christophe.leriche@neuf.f:
Quite all ... i have got more than a dozen of app or watchfaces installed ...

[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
Does the watch receive email notifications from the native iPhone app?
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Mine does, in fact every notification that is set to appear in the notification center. Even the ones from the gear manager app itself (until I blocked them from the watch).
[Samsung Gear S2] peterparker.th:

Does anyone know if the classic gear 3g from att will work. I may buy one of them and sell my gear s2 sport since I can't get it working
[Samsung Gear S2] dapper1:
Has anyone found a workaround to installing the apps that are getting stuck?
[Samsung Gear S2] Brewc:
Those of you that have the S2 working fine with your iPhone please post what type of iPhone and carrier you on so we can track it.

Mine is an AT&T 3G S2 iPhone 6s+ just using in Bluetooth mode, so I only get calls, no message or other notifications. Have a friend who has a Galaxy S5 on Verizon that's only way I can access the gear app, but probably won't update being different carriers.

Not sure about downloading the update posted.
[Samsung Gear S2] pauly_long:
Nothing works. I've tried the suggestions of disconnecting and reconnecting and it makes no difference - only Samsung branded apps install. All others hang.
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
Got it. iPhone 6 with german carrier "O2-Telefonica".

The apps "Mail, Messages, Contacts" are not on the watch anymore but I can see and read Whatsapp, SMS, incoming Phone-Calls. It's a bit like the Pebble I had before, no interaction with the phone just notification. For the moment it's enough for me. Weather's working fine, too.

One time the Gear Manager crashes after losing Bluetooth-Connection. I restart and everything was fine. I think it's a beta-release and I'm looking forward for the final :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Pinpinou:
I have iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.4

Everything works, caller id, every app, notifications...

Perfect
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
Not really perfect (no interaction with iPhone) but until now really good. :)
[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
Is there any leak that it will be possible? I would love to have a quick reply and calling on my iPhone through it!
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
Maybe the final version is able to "quick answer" and more. Because there is no speaker phone calls over gear would be impossible.

Let's wait and hope :)
[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
I meant calls as an access to my phonebook in order to place a call while I am on my earbuds... Quick answer would be perfect! But I highly doubt it...
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
At the moment, nobody knows. Samsung promised, there will be an nearly 1:1 iOS - Version.

I think we don't have to wait too long. This, what I think, beta-Version works fine :)
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
I hope. I have downgraded in order to use it with my iPhone SE :-/
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Same here, with iPhone 6s 9.3.1 Vodafone ES.

I updated the gear to CPC4 from BOKK but did not restore it to factory settings after, so I don't have the "app layout" option in the gear manager, but I'm able to install other apps and watchfaces (although a lot of apps get stuck at 100% too)
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
Same, but it's an issue I can live with (for the moment) :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
Iphone 5S with IOS 9.2.1. Samsung gear S2 sport with last software version available: R720XXU2CPB7. I have the application SAMSUNG GEAR on my phone (downloaded and transferred via iTunes). At the moment I can see all the notifications and calls on my watch. I can not reply any of them, but I can read even the emails. In the application there are some apps that got stuck at 100% (CNN watch face, etc). Every two days there are some news apps and watch faces in the application, just a few of them (5 or 10 as much).
[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
People are saying they can read emails... Do you mean the short version in notification bar or full email? I can only see what's in my notifications ... I am on BOKK
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
One tap on the mail and I can read the full mail by scrolling down :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Algass:
Hi,

Someone knows how to downgrade the firmware of the Gear S2 sport?

My iphone can't see the gear via Bluetooth :s F...
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
Yes simply read the tutorial http://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/general/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
tap on the mail and you can read all the content on your watch. :)
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
There are indeed new apps in the leaked Samsung Gear Lite app. There is one called Google maps api, however it get stuck at 100% :/ .

There are pretty cool watch faces too, if only they had a cool ambient mode that would be perfect. For now many have only standard two hands ambient mode.

How does it work with this leaked app? Does someone copy the watchfaces and apps from the original samsung store one and pastes them here in the iphone leaked one?

If there is someone working on this leaked app, maybe we will get an "update" one day ;)

I kind of do not understand what is the connection from this app to the original samsung store? Is it a "jailbroken" store? Something separate?
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
No, my conclusion is that you are directly connected on the Samsung store, but you see only free apps

The update will be the final app on the official Apple App store...
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
I went through the "top" list and there are ~300 apps.

I can't compare with the official samsung store, but I think you may be right.

I hope we will get some more functionality with the official app. The Gear speak memo app is pretty cool. It converts all the spoken memos to text and it recognises my sentences 99% correctly.

I guess, in an official app we will be able to answer the notifications/messages with the voice input that will be converted to text and send back to the sender. Wonder if it would work with FB messenger or other messaging apps.

How is it on the official app on android? Does the android gear app + gear s2 have this function?
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
IMO, the final app will be like this one, with bugs fixed... I think so because the name of the app is Samsung Gear S2

Lite
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Yeah I was thinking about it too, why "Lite"? Like there is supposed to be a "full" version of it and a "Lite" version?

Would suck if they have a paid version XD
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
BTW, not all is available on the "leaked app" iphone samsung store.

https://plus.google.com/communities/111224177903657805607

There are many watch faces that exist on the official store and not on our "leaked" version.
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
Are you sure ? there is a lot of watchfaces from gearprojects and MrTimeMaker... Until you can't install MrTimeMaker on your watch, you can't install MrTimeMaker's watchefaces I think it's someting like Watchmaker and Facer on Android Wear
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Are the samsung store country based? If so, since I am from Europe, maybe I do not get the things that fast compared to US samsung store.

You must be right about the MrTimeMaker app, probably you need the app to install the watch faces coming from them.

Some apps (example : Yelp or CNN) or watchfaces can't be downloaded.

My access to Samsung Gear Apps is limited (some existing apps, like "Friends", are not present in the store).

iPhone 6s + on AT&T jailbroke iOS 9.0.2. Gear S2 sport R730AUCU1AOL3

Gave in and installed Gear on iPhone it kinda updated the watch and I lost a bunch of apps that were on it from day of purchase, weather being the main one. Have reset watch, hard reset, forgot in BT settings on iPhone repair with it, but I still cannot get gear app to find the S2.
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
Same here Brewc. Same phone n watch
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
I went to an att store, and was messing with their display classic 3g model. I reset the watch, then used the app to hook it to the iphone. It worked. I guess, I'm going to have to buy the classic model. It asked me if I wanted to numbersync, but I didn't try it. I'm guessing numbersync won't work, even though it asked to do it?
[Samsung Gear S2] christophe.leriche@neuf.f:
No, my iphone is 6s. Sorry
[Samsung Gear S2] rockfresh15:
You mean you downgraded the watch or the phone?
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
The watch
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
I realised an issue with the app: I turn my watch off for the night in order to save battery. Every morning, after switching the gear on the app crashes. Bluetooth connection is enabled and functional, notifications are fine but things like "weather" don't work. Yesterday I restarted the app and everything was fine. This morning it crashes several times while it was connecting with the gear. Afer I checked "Profiles and Devices" on my phone, the gear app flashes once, after that everything was fine again.

It's a beta :)

I'm jumping in the thread, sorry if i can't read all of it. Just asking: has someone of you tested out that the app is safe and sound to use?
[Samsung Gear S2] michast1:
How could we? Two ways: get the app at your own risk or wait for the final release.

I can't see anything wrong about security, but I can fail.

The other device has already updated to the latest software version.

[Samsung Gear S2] thejdoe:
I have the Verizon Gear S2 3G and just received the battery optimization update the other day. Just for kicks, I decided to reset the Gear. Upon resetting, I immediately connected my Gear to my iPhone (work phone) thru bluetooth and the Gear was immediately receiving notifications.

So I'm not sure why everyone else has issues with this. However, because my Gear S2 is the 3G version, connecting to the iPhone like this is pointless because it renders the 3G ability to remote connect to the phone.

Anyways, just thought I would report my findings that I can receive iPhone notifications, even after the very latest update.
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Is the battery optimisation update and firmware update the same? I think they are something different. That is why your gear s2 still connects to iPhone.

I may be wrong though.
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
To all iphone users : how did you get past the screen where it asks you to download the samsung gear app ?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
You still have to wait a few days until the release of the gear manager for Apple of Samsung..
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
Of course, but how did the others who are already using it (with limited functionnalities but still) on iphone manage to get past this screen ? Did they activate the watch with an android device ?
[Samsung Gear S2] htraish:
If you connect to the watch via Bluetooth, it will get past this screen.
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
That's what I tried to do, but my iphone (6 with os up to date) does not show me any gear watch via Bluetooth... Have you had any trouble connecting your gear s2 ? Is it possible that the new gears available in stores are already set up with the new firmware which prevent the iphone to recognize it ?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
In November in Germany we had an update to the System Software R720XXU2BOKK and since then there is a problem that no longer connect via Bluetooth to Gear S2 can be made because the watch isn't shown.
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
You must be right, I can manage to make the gear appear in the bluetooth menu thanks to a third party app but it won't connect to it :(

Anyway, thank you guys for your fast answers ! I guess I'll just have to wait till the gear manager hits the app store, hoppefully it should not be too long !

Hey, I just bought a Gear S2 Classic without checking if it works with an iPhone. Now I kinda realised it currently doesn't work which kinda leaves me with a useless watch. I downloaded the IPA and installed the Gear app however, it doesn't work on my iPhone since it's not jail broken. Has anyone tried the app on a jail broken device and if so is the connectivity any good between the watch and iPhone? (Notifications, etc)

I also tried the Bluetooth method however, I guess the watch I received had a later version of firmware so it doesn't allow a connection.

Anyone know when the Gear app will be officially released?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
See page 29, #290 in this thread - it works - you do not need to jailbreak your iPhone!

Gear S2 Classic SM-r732

Firmware CPC5

All working as described and if you read post #290. Very simple setup and yes a few gear manager app crashes but working all day today with no significant problems. There are a few glitches like weather is set for hourly update but doesn't seem to update properly. Even when I go to the widget and refresh the temp is wrong but location is right. Also I have set HR to go each hour and it's flaky. Sometimes doesn't read sometimes does. What does work well are all notifications. You click once and the whole email or text shows. What I found cool was if you have a missed call and its in your notifications you can actually "call back" via the watch and your iPhone dials out!! So far so good for a leaked beta. Lol.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
... and also the calendar!
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Yes. That too!!! So far I would have to say this is working dare I say it "better" than android wear on iOS. I am coming from Huawei watch and iPhone 6s and so far the health tracking (steps and continuous HR) are so much better in the S Health app. The only worse part is the S Voice vs even the limited Google now on android wear with iPhone.
