pairing with gear s2 - LG V20 Questions & Answers

so I've been reading that people with the v10 couldn't pair the gear s2. this sucks. i just got a refurbished one for 100 bucks that I've been loving and wearing over my Moto 360 2nd gen because frankly it's just better than Android wear... and now I'm coming to learn that Samsung doesn't have the v10 or even g5 listed as compatible devices and v10 owners had huge issues with it. this sucks. anyone else disappointed by this?

Pretty sure they changed that with the gear s2 and forward, they work best with Samsung devices but do work with Android 4.4 devices

The man speaks the truth,all Gear released from the S2 & later are compatible with smartphones running on Android 4.4 and higher with over 1.5GB RAM.

You two might be right. They USED to only work on Samsung devices. I just did a little research and found the "device compatibility" list on Samsung's site, and there were tons of other devices listed other than Samsung ones.

Which is why I agreed with you and just elaborated on my findings.
edit: and admitted I was wrong.
As for OP, the Samsung list of compatible devices says "Subject to change," so after the V20 comes out in the US, they may add it to the list. HOWEVER, the list is most likely out of date now, because only the G Flex, OPTIMUS G, G2, G3, G4, G Vista, and Nexus 5 are listed. No G Vista 2, G5, or even V10. Unless they just aren't compatible or something.
I don't really know now, so I have to step back and hope you get an answer from someone else. I mean... up until tonight, I thought the Gears could still only work with Samsung devices only. I thought that was the answer, but obviously not. LOL

yeah this sucks. i really like it more than my moto 360 with android wear..it just does things much better, especially replies, and now that android wear 2.0 won't even be out until next year, it's getting kinda ridiculous and annoying.
we'll see what happens i guess. ugh!

iPhone compatibility is supposed to come at some point...
back to the topic, I love my S2 Classic, and will probably buy a S3 on launch. However I have only paired it with a Samsung. I am interested in seeing how it works with a non-Samsung Android phone. I previously had Pebble, LG's watc, Moto 360, Pebble Time, Samsung Gear 2, and Gear 2 Neo.
The S2 Classic is by far the best. I currently have it with a Samsung S7 Edge. My S7 Edge still works fine, but I find myself wanting a LG V20.

Wow, this looks very nice! They don't list the S2 (D710) as a supported device, but since you have the S3, do you think the S2 would fit? I know they both fit in the same car dock. My phone is Sprint's S2 that they call the Epic 4g Touch.

"Super" Spen

Hi guys.

You got one with rubber on the back? Is it an actual Pen?
Its the same as the original Wacom Tablet Styli. Its the Standard S-Pen the only differences are that its the same size as a real pen, has a hook for shirt pockets and has a plastic but on tge end that acts as an on screen eraser. I got it from someone from Samsung. Seen it on Ebay though.

Nexus has otg but it needs power for it. I have an external battery source so it wouldn't be an issue. I am absolutely bored of my s4. Nothing new is going on with it. Because of the locked bootloader it is an issue. I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my s4. I'm done with branded phones. If my s4 doesn't sell now then ill just buy the n5 whenever it arrives in October.

This was what happened when I went from my Galaxy Nexus to S3, although it was an international version so it didn't have problem with locked boot loader. I think if you have gotten the international version there would be plenty of roms to play with.

There are roms to play with but I just don't feel that I am getting everything out of this phone that I could. I haven't even flashed a rom in weeks. I don't feel like I'm using a quad core because of lag. I played a few games and I lagged. I am just going to wait for the n5 and swap out.

You should have never expected to get the Air Command feature in the update.
OS Updates are guaranteed not feature updates. If Samsung starts giving feature updates in old phones that too for flagship features like Air Command then who is going to buy Note 3?

But yeah, the times are different now. If cos have to sell newer models it's only on the features. Hardware upgrades cannot be a selling point for the foreseeable future. :good:
But I agree that Note 2 should have got some Note 3 features. :angel:
I think we will get Note 3 features, but we will have to wait. We have to do it now with 4.3. Other updates with Note 3 features will come for sure.

This.
That is not a solution. We all spend a lot of money on these phones, it's Samsung job to provide the features in the update!!!! This would be just an excuse for them not to provide the feature in the update because we can root and use a custom rom.
Its easy..why put that on a older device when note 3 is new and they want to sell it ...and so it is a special feature that u only get by buying a note 3...or install the custom rom.
Would not be smart business move
When u already here on xda dont cry ..root & flash and be happy for that we r here
Maybe it comes official when note 3 is on market for some time.

So question why would you purchase a phone from a company for $700 to $800 knowing that if the manufacture came out with a new version of the phone they wont fully support your phone with OS update and feature updates! If I knew Samsung did business like this I would never purchase their products. What other manufacture practice this method. From what I can recall Nexus gets their full updates, Sony gives full updates, LG & HTC gave full updates. Samsung can go and *F* off. I work to hard to spend $800 on a product knowing that the greedy ass manufacturer don't want to fully update features on their product, knowing damn well that the product fully support the update.

Yes it is my fault that I bought the phone, but honestly they had all features from note 2 on note one. After Samsung pulling this crap will I ever purchase from them again "HELL NO"! Their gonna pull this same crap when they release note 4 mid next year. I think I can live without the Spen!

Oh I thought you ment art (Android) well for writing and art (Mac) is good but for tablet (ipad) I can't tell. I'd go for Windows on that one. Much more convenient and more apps can be used. And you don't have to worry about any damn can't install outside app store. Bullocks stuff is what it is.
But I can't really recommend any good Windows tablet though. that you'll have to look for what suites you.

Not the 2012 version of the note 10.1. This tablet is ancient and Samsung is more concerned with making money then keeping its loyal customers happy.
They still haven't released kitkat for the N8013! The day it gets lollipop is released for the N8013 is the day Pigs Fly. :silly:
