Hi..I am new to this forum..
can I pair gear s with my samsung mega 6.3?
just ask samsung saleman but they told me it can't be pair..need quick advice because I am buying this gear this afternoon..

Hi saladi,

I am not sure about the non-flagship devices, but in general if you can launch the Samsung Apps store, and install Gear Manager from it, you should be able to test if you can pair or not while in the shop.


FYI all,

It's completely ridiculous that the Tab S CANNOT pair with the Gear S unless you modify build.prop to fake it into a phone, like S4 or S5.

Hi joytest,

Thanks for the info..just bought it yesterday at samsung prangin mall penang..It works well with my mega 6.3 with the gear apps but I can't download Notifications for Gear S because of my mega using android 4.2.2..(I think I need to flash custom rom to be able to use Notifications for Gear S)

I got 1 problem over here..how to delete notification at gear s because it keep notify me with the same old notification?

May i know how much you bought it?

Slowly swipe down from your notification screen. There is a "Clear All" button you can tap.

RM1169 from official samsung store inclusive gst but in penang no stock for black color..only white available..

Guys, cant pair my gear s to a tab S.
What software should be updated?

tab s Bluetooth detects the gear but then this notification came up.

while Samsung gear apps couldn't even detect that gear at all.

Thanks!

See post #262 above.

Yes, the Tabs CANNOT pair to the Gear S without root and modifying build.prop.

fsck Samsung.

demmitt.. tab s is also a flagship what..

stupid sammy.

tq bro

Bro, i tweeted to samsung malaysia asking about the prob, & they replied telling to go to samsung center.

Wonder if u have tried this b4?

& does galaxy alpha able to connect to gear s?

Thanks

It's all bollocks. The same problem is on XDA as well.

I believe some higher up in marketing made the decision to rape segment users such that phone users are not the same as tablet users even though the tablet is evidently a phone.

That is why I have a strong distaste for marketeers despite knowing exactly why they do it.

Since the Alpha is a phone, it should work with the Gear S.

finally join the club today...

Hi all.do u know how many hours to charge full to the cradle?n how to know the cradle is fully charged?

About 2 - 3 hours.

The light will be solid blue. The manual does state this.

OK. Thanks

using notification for gear s the whole day... something annoy me, i receive 3 notification for the same massage... is tat normal?

You only keep 1 item to notify you.

For example, if you want Whatsapp, you should only choose either Whatsapp or NFGS (Notifications for Gear S) to send the notification.

If you enabled everything, you will get 1 from Whatsapp and 1 from NFGS. And even maybe 1 from Pushbullet.

Know which apps are transmitting.

i am at loss... so now to set watapp? i only use watapp/sms/email/call notification

You set it at the Notification Manager on your phone. Uncheck stuff you don't want and test.

i oledi uncheck watapps in the gear manager, only check for watapp in notification for gear s app but still received 3 notification for the same msg
