Got my new Moto Z Force yesterday and loving it so far except for a few little quirks... The biggest of which is that it will not connect to my Samsung Gear 2 Neo. I can get it to connect via Bluetooth, but when trying to connect it using Gear Manager the app just doesn't see it (even when already connected via BT). I have heard that some people have gotten this to work, but for 2 days have been unable to find a fix. I've gone so far as to start downloading older versions of the Samsung Gear app and try them one by one. I was able to get the 2.1.5 versions to see it, but when they tried connecting I got "Download failed, try again".
Has anyone had any success with this, or seen the problem and found a fix? I would really hate to have to give up my Gear, I've grown to love it.
Thanks in advance.

I can't get my new S5 to show my Sony TV in devices, to screen mirror. My daughters S4 works just fine. I've looked and looked through the settings and searched. Did Samsung turn this off to force us to buy the damn dongle or Chromecast device??? Again, my daughters s4 works perfectly every time. My TV shows right up, and it displays her phone screen.
Anybody know? Thanks
Bumping this up. Can't believe nobody has tried to mirror their S5.. Something's changed from the S4 to S5 apparently. And it looks like they are forcing me to buy Chromecast. Very disappointed in Samsung, if this is the case. Anyone?

Hi aeturbo,
looks like this is now available via the "Quick Connect" function (button in notification area).
DLNA is supported.
Good luck,

I have the LG urbane and no matter what I try it will not connect to my S7 Edge. I have factory reset the watch already. Twice. It pairs but will not connect. Anyone else with a smart watch have this issue? Hopefully it's just user error
I have an LG Watch Urbane as well and mine connected fine. Factory reset it, matched the pin number, paired, and haven't had any hiccups since.
Hmmmm. I did factory reset, matched the pin, paired, updated, synced...but it still doesn't connect when it's all said and done lol gives me the little cloud with the line through it. Oh well I'll just keep trying I guess
As a last resort, I would factory reset your phone and try then. You'll lose all yours apps/data but it might finally get it to pair.

I just connected my LG Urbane with no issues as well. Sorry you are having issues. You got me worried since I hadn't connected mine yet.
Lol damn...I may have to factory reset. I may just wait until root is available. Thanks for the replies guys

I had problems connecting my Huawei Watch. It connected, started transfer and lost connection after transferring like 5 apps. I turned off the screen timeout on my phone and told the battery optimizer not to optimize the Android Wear app. I also, wiped data and cache for Wear app, took me 4 times or so to finally get everything connected, seems okay now
bluetooth version of the W100 smartwatch is only 4.0, where as the bluetooth version of the Samsung S7 or S8 is 5. So never ever will work. As per my live chat with LG customer support.
watch wont pair
Have galaxy S8 just got the coach bleecker and Titan juxt, both use basically the same app. watches will pair with app on phone but not connect. tried on Galaxy S6, worked fine. Anybody else have problem with pairing a watch with S8?
So my YoCam camera arrived, and excited to receive my new kickstarter toy, I tried to connect it to my phone following the basic instructions.
Phone sees and connects to the device via wireless, but the app refuses to connect. However using other android phones will allow me to connect to the camera, using exactly the same process., so it does not appear at least at a basic level, an android or an app issue.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or can suggest some troubleshooting tools so i can get a better view of what is going on.
Thanks
Hi, Not that this helps: I have exactly the same but on a Samsung Note 3 running cyanogenmod 6.0.1. When connecting to my Samsung tab S2 with standard Android no problem.
Are you running a alternative rom on your phone or standard?

I read that Samsung Gear Manager is available for non-Samsung devices from Google Play Store but when I tried to pair my Gear Circle and Gear S via Gear Manager app neither for those devices show up. I can see them in the bluetooth devices in my phone's settings and I paired Gear Circle with no issues then, but Gear S requires Gear Manager pairing in order to operate properly...
I tried this guide but to no avail - the app fails to find Gear devices

Anyone managed to have Gear Manager app working properly on LG V20? I'd appreciate some help with this

It's working fine for me, but I'm using it with the Gear S2, so I don't know if it is the same with those other devices

Ah this is so weird then! I tried resetting Gear S a few times but it just won't appear in the Gear Manager. Maybe the original Gear S isn't compatible with Android N just yet :S
Gear manager is for gear s2 in other android phones...
Gear Fit2 works just fine.
With my gear live I just use the - Android Wear app. Not sure if your gear is different or not.
I got the Samsung S3 Classic as a xmas gift. I installed the Samsung Gear_2.2.16101261.apk and GearManagerStub.apk on my LG v20. I was able to pair my phone and the S3. Then Google Play launched and tried to install the Gear S Plugin but it didn't and it said that my device isn't compatible with this version. Any suggestions? Do I need to install something else?
hi everyone
I'm facing an issue with my newly purchased gear vr.
I'm trying to connect it for the first time and my galaxy s8 won't recognize the device. I tried downloading all apps manually but didn't seem to work and also resetting won't work.
I also am facing the same problem when connecting USB port via otg it won't recognize by my phone.
I'm thinking that this is a software issue.
Am I the only one with this problem?
It seems to be a really common problem. Some people have had success returning their phone but the issue often comes back. It does seem to be a software issue as I have had it start again then stop again. I think it's related to updates but I'm not 100% sure what ones. Reinstalling and factory resetting don't work. Oculus claim that phones that aren't locked to a network aren't supported by VR. Samsung aren't interested either.
