[Android General] gaganhere:
I am trying to connect Samsung gear s3 with Nokia 6 but it doesn't connects. This is a watch which is working with other mobile phones (tested on iPhone took maximum 60 seconds).

Question: Can you please tell me how are you trying to connect it with Samsung gear app?

I did two days ago for 2 hours nothing shows up.

One more important thing- When I try to connect to Bluetooth it says connected and I go out from the Bluetooth settings and go back into general settings nokia device says Bluetooth not connected.

My phone is up to date 8.1 oero. (Last update 07/June/2018)

Bluetooth clear cache on phone:

> Settings - Apps and notifications - See all apps - Press the 3 dots at the top right corner - Show system - Bluetooth - Storage - Clear cache - Clear data

go to Settings - Apps and notifications - See all apps - Press the 3 dots at the top right corner - Show system - Bluetooth MIDI Service - STorage - Clear cache - Clear data

The whole process :

On watch

I reset the watch from settings and pick the language later pair it with phone with Bluetooth.

on phone :

-Download the Samsung gear s app

*all permission "Yes"

*select the watch via Bluetooth

- auto turn on the Bluetooth through app

install gear S plugin app (auto)

all permission "yes"

install Samsung accessory service app

all permission "yes"

on stuck on pairing underway

on watch displays : check your phone to complete setup

After some google search last night on internet, I follow those steps.

Go to settings Bluetooth with closing Gear app > under Bluetooth says not connected, select the watch again but it says connected for few seconds and disappear (disconnect).

I was in the settings, just received a notification says Gear S plugin app stops working.

Question : Have you tried to contact Samsung

Yes, I walk into their showroom and show them everything, mentioned that there is something wrong with Nokia end.

------------NOKIA needs to make a patch to fix this issue--------

Nokia team response:

Thank you for the feedback, we will pass it to our developers.

This device in not compatible with Gear s3 .

Hello there,

I recently had a chat with Samsung support and they mentioned that only few devices are support with their watches.

check on Samsung website >>/global/galaxy/gear-s3/device-compatibility/

[Jaybee(Agent):11:19:30] Basing from mt resources the Nokia 6 cannot be seen as one of the compatible device.

[(Customer):11:21:48] So, developers need to make a patch for it ?

[Jaybee(Agent):11:22:31] It is not actually an error on Samsung side since the device is made for other devices.

[Jaybee(Agent):11:23:31] One thing that I can think off is that by the time the Gear S3 was released the Nokia 6 has not been manufactured and I believe this was the first Android device of Nokia.

[(Customer):11:24:06] Yeah, I believe so..

[(Customer):11:24:41] Is that any future for nokia to get possible connection with Gear s3

[Jaybee(Agent):11:26:46] We are actually unable to tell if in the future that the Gear S3 will be compatible with the Nokia.

[Jaybee(Agent):11:27:28] We hope that would happen since we definitely want to make sure that our products can be connected to any brands.

Another thing you can do is : go into gear s app> settings> gear connection (off) try to make it on. (if you are lucky)
