The ONLY way I could get my Gear S3 Frontier to pair is with the September Samsung Gear S Plugin on apkmirror. SEPTEMBER 2017, haha.

Anyway, hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
I HAVE to ask, but did you install the plugin then clear the app cache and the data? (Just in case you forgot ;))

BTW, PlayerPro works great. A bit Pricey, but the added DSP makes a huge difference. Thanks for the tip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] jawonder:
It works fine with the Frontier but no go with the Fit2 . You Welcome, been using both PlayerPro and PowerAmp for many year, love them both.

I was reading over in the main Note 8 forum and it appears if you sideload a newer Gear S Plugin APK, it will fix Gear Manager issues.

Force close Gear Manager and wipe app data before trying to pair.

I've loaded it, but wont be able to test until I get home.

Here's a direct link to download the latest Gear S Plugin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] ekerbuddyeker:
Yes I saw that. But Camera is unstable still
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] rjohnstone:
I haven't had any camera issues.

Shot two 5 minute long videos in FHD and took about a dozen pics. All worked fine for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] ekerbuddyeker:
Yes, but try the zoom, or pushing 2x. They were intermittent and eventually locked up on me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] rjohnstone:
I just ran a few quick pics zooming in and out, live focus works fine as well.

I did a full wipe before I updated. I reloaded app data from backup, but the system was clean when I started.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] ekerbuddyeker:
Then you were luckier than me!!! I didn't do a hard reset, but the device seemed to do so anyway.

Now I'm going to have to download it AGAIN and have a go AGAIN!!!

Are you currently running Oreo on your Note 8 and if so are you able to enable the Wicked Venom theme?

I'm currently back on 7.1.1 (couldn't get root to play nicely with AT&T on V2) -- theme works great there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] shaushshaush:
I was able to get Gear S3 to work on Oreo, you have to sideload these 3 files though :

Samsung Gear - version 2.2.17082261

Samsung Accessory Service - version 3.1.66.70830

Gear S Plugin - version 2.2.03.17061361

After installing the apk's (do a web search exactly as written to find the files) going into settings, apss, and clear cache and data, it will pair as normal.

Did you also say you were able to root the AT&T Note8 running 7.1.1 ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Venom0642:

By the way does anybody know how to enable installing apps from unknown sources for all applications? In my case if I go to a file in Root Explorer I am unable to install it from an unknown source. When I get to the place where there is an option to change it it's grayed out. I was able to use the built-in Samsung file explorer but for some reason couldn't enable unknown sources and Root Explorer

I noticed this too with Mega. It appears the apps have not updated having proper code to request permission to install apps from their app. The apps that are able are listed in settings/apps/3 dot menu/special access/install unknown apps.

Oreo is very smooth.. No issues at all actually.. Camera works.. No FC's.. Feels like a final version.. Oddly enough.. Smoother.. Faster.. Apps and web pages load quicker.. No reason to go back to 7.1.1 ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Beesvee:
Thanks for the link. I believe the issue we are seeing is that the "install unknown apps" list does not populate non-system/Google apps, such as root explorer, or Mega.

I had security log pop ups (fixed now) and occasionally had an issue with the camera glitching but after installing the latest Google Camera, my Samsung Camera seems to be working fine. Not sure why but I'm going with it.

2x zoom works most of the time.

I had no issues during my initial tests, but today I have noticed when going from 1x to 2x, that the camera would hang.

Not all the time, but it does occur.

Manual zoom appears to work all the time. I've not been able to get it to crash or hang.

Knock on some wood, but currently after installing Google camera I have had full functionality. I was having 2x zoom issues and could not even manually zoom.
