I had to factory reset my gear in order to be able to connect. Give it a try.

I am on iOS 10.1.1 should I got back to stock 10?

---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Did the factory reset. Just keeps searching for the watch. I can connect via Bluetooth but it doesn't recognize through the gear app
[Samsung Gear S2] JohnnyCarlos:
I am also with iOS 10.1.1.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
[MENTION=1260204]un2666[/MENTION]: THANK YOU!!!

It works well on iPhone SE with some more features than the beta :)
[Samsung Gear S2] bloomy75:
Johnny,

What steps did you take? Also what firmware do you have on your watch? Maybe I'm missing a step?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
1) First: kill your gear in the Bluetooth settings on your iPhone !!! The step is often omitted - but MUST be.

2) Than: factory reset the gear

3) start the GearManager

That's it
[Samsung Gear S2] jordanlah:
Super Thanks!!

Super Thanks to un2666!

Now the Gear S2 is working with iphone 7+ !

I followed these steps:

- D/L beta Gear Manager from top post

- Connect iPhone to computer

- Double-click beta file(*.ipa) which launches iTunes

- Sync iPhone

- Choose App ("Gear S3") and install on iPhone

- Go to iphone settings > general > device management and trust the Samsung certificate

- Factory reset Gear S2

- On Bluetooth

- Pair Gear S2 inside iPhone beta Gear Manager app

- THAT'S IT!!

Most Functions work - including downloading of free watch faces... but app is buggy - can't return to main page after entering Galaxy apps page. Have to kill app and reload.

Bliss :D:D:D

[Samsung Gear S2] vitdiesel:
Can i use that with my "gear S "?
[Samsung Gear S2] faciulula:
No :(
[Samsung Gear S2] Charkatak:
What functions are available to the user? Able to reply to sms, answer calls?
[Samsung Gear S2] faciulula:
No option to reply to sms but we can answer calls. No Contacts app.
[Samsung Gear S2] Charkatak:
So it looks like even when Samsung releases iOS Gear Manager app, then user won't be able to fully interact with notifications...and Android is our best bet for the Gear S2.
[Samsung Gear S2] faciulula:
Everything seems to work fine except Weather app which still forgets "Current location" option. The same issue was in official beta app released in September.

I'm struggling to get my iPhone to see the watch. It's just not recognised. I've got the latest firmware according to the Gear app
[Samsung Gear S2] heckfm:
I had to do a factory reset to get it to connect. Once I did, I haven't had issues.
[Samsung Gear S2] DouglasGG:

Yes. My GS2 classic works fine with my iPhone 7 with iOS 10.1.1.

[Samsung Gear S2] streather:
Unzip it and you'll be left with a .ipa file, double click that and it'll open itunes then sync your phone as normal, then you'll need to go to Settings>general and click device management and click to trust the samsung app.

That's the issue I had, I ended up using my oneplus 3 to connect to the watch and update it to a newer firmware, then factory resetting it and pairing it with my iphone, been running fine since.
[Samsung Gear S2] JohnnyCarlos:
No, no issue at all. The ipa file I have is the one posted in the first post of this thread. :)

So, I'm trying to install the Gear manager on an S2 Classic 3g (Tmobile), and it crashes using an iphone 7plus, iphone 6s (both on 10.2 beta) and an iphone 5c (ios 9.3.2) on setup every time I attempt. I've done factory resets on the watch every time I try to connect to a different device, forgot bluetooth, etc.....any suggestions?

(Edit-I've also done the standalone setup and updated to the latest firmware in the Gear S2)
[Samsung Gear S2] nhoj_O1:
Is Samsung Pay compatible if using the IOS app? Thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] dereknas:
I just wonder if we're going to ever get the final release of the Gear Manager for IOS. Samsung may just abandon this project altogether.

I played with the watch at Samsung retailer, but holding back to purchase until there's news on the app. I really hope the final app release will materialize.

Please help

Gear s2 is no pairing with my j7 prime. Please help. Tnx
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
I believe the j7 isn't in Samsungs list of compatible smartphones :(
[Samsung Gear S2] treidcz:
it's nice that we can use this leaked version on the iPhone at least something than nothing :) The problem is that in this version is not the the actual galaxy store content and we can not buy newest watch faces, applications, etc .. so
[Samsung Gear S2] starrock:
That makes sense, this is a beta app and not yet in the Apple App Store, and it can only allow in-app payment through the App Store, so no mechanism of in-app payment yet.

lets hope Apple will allow in-app store payment for Galaxy store in the final released app.
[Samsung Gear S2] pcarrega:
Has someone installed the new iOS firmware update?

I'm curious since I have a gear s3 and the battery last 1 day in a half max, and this update seems to fix some Bluetooth connectivity with 3rd party accessories.
[Samsung Gear S2] pcarrega:
Upload music when you are connected to your iOS device: connect to your watch and computer to the same wifi (yes computer, not mobile) then on the watch in the music player switch to local music (tap on mobile icon) swipe up, then manage tracks, and then you put the ip in your computer's address bar, and that's it! Now you will be able to upload music to your gear s3 from your computer!
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
This also works with GearS2 - with the new firmware - and not only Mac/PC but also with mobile (I've used iPhone and iPad) to upload music from Dropbox - but no access at the time to the mediathek of iPhone/iPad.
[Samsung Gear S2] ldphuong:
On my iPhone 7, I have this app work perfectly with Gear S2 Classic only bluetooth and Gear S2 AT&T version.

Recently, I got a Gear S2 T-Mobile and it always crashes when pairing with SS Gear Manager. Tried everything like factory reset, standalone update...

Any idea with this T-Mobile version?
[Samsung Gear S2] bpqow:
I have a gear s2 classic, T-mobile version. The gear manager app crashes after trying to pair with the watch. Ios 9.1. IPhone 6s Plus. No idea what's going on. Paired it with an android. Updated it. Reset gear. Still nothing.
[Samsung Gear S2] theclerk74:
The T-Mobile thing has me nervous. Hopefully Samsung fixes the issue because apparently T-Mobile has no information any upcoming updates. I recently switched from an S7 Edge to the iPhone 7 Plus, and I've only had the watch for a little more than a month.

I did get it to connect via Bluetooth before the app crashes and with that I can control media playback and volume. But if the Bluetooth connection is lost, I have to go through the setup process again.

Fingers crossed that Samsung is monitoring these threads and can get it straightened out.
[Samsung Gear S2] sangweb:
I have same issue during pairing. Running IOS 9.3.3 with Gear S2 Verizon. Went back to Lite version and paried fine. This version doesn't work, oh well, I guess I'll wait for the next one or an official one which ever comes first.
[Samsung Gear S2] bpqow:
Where can I download the "lite" version?
[Samsung Gear S2] ldphuong:
That is the Gear Manager version from August this year which cannot run on iOS 10. (I think :D )

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

I heard that the Verizon version can run with this verision of Gear Manager but first, you need to update your Gear S2 to the newest firmware (via wifi in standalone mode)
[Samsung Gear S2] bpqow:
I installed the august version and I'm now connected. I'm on IOS 9.1 in case anyone reads this.

Blank icon :(

Hi all,

I try to install Gear Manager S3 in my iphone, I have downloaded the zip file in first page that contain the ipa, extracted it, then double clic that file, I can see the Gear S3 app in itunes but the icon is blank instead of being orange with Gear S3 written in it. :(

That's weird so I didn't try to install it in my iphone.

Edit: I installed it anyway and the icon is correct in the Iphone...
[Samsung Gear S2] mystic330:
All - Just upgraded to the new F/W and App on Iphone7 running 10.2 - Works.

Here's the specifics:

- S2 Classic was on R732XXU2CPC5 with old version of IOS app

- Upgraded via direct WiFi connection to R732XXU2DPG1

- Sideloaded new IOS App - 1.5.0.16103101 (see first post)

- Performed Factory reset of S2

- Proceeded through setup/connection

Hope this helps
[Samsung Gear S2] mystic330:
Guys - A quick update:

After updating to the DPG1 code, I checked for updates again, and there was one (again direct from the S2 over WiFi)

It updated to EPK5 code (this is WiFi only S2 - U.S.) - It still works with the 1.5 gear manager app from post 1

So:

R732XXU2CPC5 = Does not work with 1.5 leaked version (pairing crash) - only works with previous 1.4 leaked version

R732XXU2DPG1 = Does work with 1.5 leaked version

R732XXU2EPK5 = Does work with 1.5 leaked version

What other versions do you have that are working/not working?

Gear Manager Beta and Gear Manager s2 Lite vs iphone 6s and 5s

Hi Everyone,

I tried almost all the steps written here, also I downgraded the Gear S2 (sport). I installed Gear Manager S3 Beta and Gear Manager S2 Lite on my iphone 6s and 5s (choose trusted for that application and run), I can connect by bluetooth but somehow Gear Manager both can't see both my Gear S2s. It says, "No Gear devices" and 4 steps offer like bluetooth connection, upgrade, factory reset etc. :eek::eek:

My Gear doesnt use 3G.

I've two Gear S2s; one is downgraded one not, both of them I can't connect. :crying:

Factory reset, upgrade, bluetooth connection, downgrade, running gear manager (choose samsung as trusted developer), many times hard reset I made all :rolleyes:

this is the new challange maybe but I couldn't success, is there any offer :(

I tried this link to downgrade (http://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/general/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123)
[Samsung Gear S2] mystic330:
I'm not sure of the versions vs. release date, but I would assume the "A" in your code means it's earlier than any I listed....

I would try connecting the S2 to a WiFi, and hit the Update Gear Software, and see if you can get on either the DPG1 or EPK5 release (may have to update multiple times).

--------

S2 U.S. Code:

R732XXU2AOJ3 = Does NOT work with S3 (v1.5) leaked version - No data about S2 (v1.4) leaked version

R732XXU2CPC5 = Does NOT work with S3 (v1.5) leaked version (pairing crash) - Does work with S2 (v1.4) leaked version

R732XXU2DPG1 = Does work with S3 (v1.5) leaked version

R732XXU2EPK5 = Does work with S3 (v1.5) leaked version

Gear S2 Update

I have been trying to get my Gears S2 3G from verizon to connect to the gear manager on my iphone 7 plus since it came out. I think that the problem is that I do not have the newest firmware.

I have the following:

Iphone 7+ with 10.2

Gear S2 3G Version with R730VVRU2BPC7

Is there a way that I can update my firmware without a phone app. I only have my Iphone now?

[Samsung Gear S2] Chipsti:
All you have to --->

1)do everything like it is at beginning

2) Go to settings and at last position you will have something like pair with new phone .

3) After it is done feel free to use Gear s2 with iPhone

I've done this with 6s (bros phone to see if it realy works ) now I can buy my own iPhone :D
[Samsung Gear S2] mmlau:
Does anyone have the issue where everything pairs, but keeping Gear Manager running results in the watch losing its connection to the phone? The only way I can consistently get notifications pushed to my watch (Gear S3) from my phone (iPhone 7 Plus 10.1.1) is if I kill the Gear Manager app in iOS. Obviously doing that will not allow me to access some of the functionalities that are only available via the Gear Manager app.

Iphone 7+ and Gear s2?

Has anyone figured out how to use the watch with iphone 7+ ?

Any ways

Just got the gear s2 (originally bought when I had the Note 7. Forgot to cancel shipment once I switched to iphone ). After a few hours, got so close to it working until the crash log emails upon pairing devices. Watch says I have the latest firmware. Any way to fix the crash-log issue?

Gear s3 no longer connecting to iPhone 6s

Hi guys since SUNDAY my gear can no longer be paired with iPhone 6s. I tried updating the software on the gear and also factory reset but no go.

Anybody else having this issue I did update my iOS to latest about a week ago but it was working fine with the gear s3 up until 3 days ago.

Any suggestions.
[Samsung Gear S2] ast18:
So do I have the right software for the s2 gear? This is the version we have (s2 device says it's up to date) and we did the factory reset.

SoftwareR735VVRU2BPC7

HardwareR735V.01

iPhone 7+ 10.2

Maybe I have the wrong versions but both devices have the later software.
[Samsung Gear S2] theclerk74:
I don't think we have the same watch... SM-R735T with R735TUVU2CPK7 firmware.

Unfortunately only one Gear can be connected at a time. If you connected a second one, The First one's data gets deleted and reset if you need to reconnect it.

Anybody has a new IPA updated after the one in OP?
[Samsung Gear S2] MAGA3X:
Mission Success w/ S3 on iPhone 6 w/ iOS 10.1.1

I've just successfully setup a brand new Gear S3 Classic I got myself for Christmas. Everything works perfectly.

Phone setup:

iPhone 6

iOS 10.1.1

Gear S3 app:

Version: 1.5.0.16103101

Downloaded online at:

https COLON SLASHSLASH mega.nz SLASH #!SB9nkJKC!aa0eRHgMBzGEu1934UtAuX4d_gLDR0KJGd4zkyh42ng

Steps:

Turned on the S3.

Started up the Gear app on my iPhone 6.

Paired via bluetooth following the instructions.

(I was all prepared with an old Android phone and had installed the Gear S3 App on it as a backup just in case setup didn't work with my iPhone 6. Thankfully, I didn't need it at all, and in fact never even opened the app once. So my old Android phone is back in the dustbin :o

Results:

Everything works beautifully!

Unlike some iPhone 6 users in this thread, the Gear app hasn't crashed even once for me.

I've been able to install tons of free custom third-party watch faces using "Galaxy Apps" from within the Gear App (this requires simple free registration with Samsung). No hitches at all. They install on the watch fine, and I can use the faces right away.

All of my notifications show up perfectly on the S3, including email, text, Amazon, FB Messenger, Yahoo Sports, and others. (Note: I haven't gotten any phone calls since I started using the S3, so can't verify phone notifications. But I expect them to work fine given that everything else has worked fine thus far)

Initial reactions:

As a long time Apple Watch user, the S3 blows it out of the water. Here's why:

S3 looks better - more upscale with the metallic casing - even though I paid the same price as an Apple Watch currently costs. S3 looks much more like my big old Diesel which I loved. Very happy with the appearance.

The rotating bezel interface is nicer and more intuitive than the tiny little spin wheel on the Apple Watch. Especially for someone like me with slightly bigger hands.

The screen is better.

The S3 watch faces look way better and are more detailed.

Very importantly, the watch display is always on, so I don't have to twist my wrist just to see the time! (Note: By default this is turned off. You have to turn the setting on. Thankfully this was in the beginning of the instruction manual). Intelligently, the display switches to a low-power mode when you're not looking at the watch, to save battery. This means you won't get all the bells and whistles of the coolest watch faces until you twist your wrist to look at it. But at least you still get to see the time, all the time.

Conclusion:

I'm very pleased with my experience with the S3 for the very short time I've been using it. Thus, unless I discover terrible things about it that I haven't yet encountered, I will not be going back to the Apple Watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] Swiff181:
Nice.

I was able to get my 6s paired up again after losing the connection, but now the Bluetooth doesn't stay contented all the time, connection is very spotty.

I cannot seem to download watch faces because I keep losing connection. Hopefully it will fix itself. It goes on and off at will.
[Samsung Gear S2] SteveFranchise:
Same issue

Hey,

Since a few days I'm experiencing exactly the same issues. Everything works fine until I open App Store and try to download stuff.

Please help!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] Swiff181:
I don't think anybody can help with that issue. I tried factory reset a number of times but no go.

Unless there is a newer IPA with less bugs.
[Samsung Gear S2] ast18:
Ah yes, the numbers are slightly off bc you have T-Mobile and I have VZW.

---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Can any fellow VZW customers tell me if I have the latest/correct software? Do I need to downgrade the software on the watch? I have about 5 Days to return it and was hoping to get it to pair before then lol! I am def not getting an apple watch and really wanna keep the gear s2!
[Samsung Gear S2] Darnell0216:
According to https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/samsung-gear-s2-update/ you have the latest version. If I remember my lettering right, your software is from earlier this year and no where near the S3 update. You'll have to downgrade or give it back and wait for Verizon to get it. Only AT&T and T-Mobile are known to have the update right now.
[Samsung Gear S2] ast18:
Thank you!!!!! I was guessing it was a downgrade issue. I have no idea how to do that though or what version to even get. :/ If someone can teach me that, l'll be good to go!
[Samsung Gear S2] ast18:
Does anyone know if I downgrade the watch and for some reason it doesn't work, can I always go back and re-uodate the watch to latest software?
[Samsung Gear S2] LosEquis:

[Samsung Gear S2] ast18:
Omg YAY!!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] dyos22:
Now that the official app is available, does one need to follow any specific steps to use it?

Like unpairing the watch from the phone, unistalling the old app before istalling the new one, anything like that?

Something that needs to be done in specific order to prevent **** ups?

Or is it as simple as removing the old app and installing the new one?

Gear S3 Frontier + Iphone 7, latest iOS

Have anyone run into any problems with the official app yet? Is it even worth "updating"? Do we get any new features?

Many thanks!
[Samsung Gear S2] ast18:
Has anyone had any battery draining issues? I haven't even really used mine bc the battery is draining like crazy! It's also slow to charge. Brand new watch too. No downloaded apps on it yet or anything.

Last night it finally charged to 100% so I took it off charger around 3am. This morning at 7 when I woke up, battery was back down to 45%. I have watch hooked to Bluetooth and wifi. Any thoughts on what could drain it?

My battery (T-Mobile Gear S2 on iPhone 7) is definitely not as good as it used to be. Hitting 50% after about 6 or 7 hours of wearing it (light use).
