Folks,
Hope I can get help here before I have to send my S in for repair.
I have a Verizon Note 4 from Nov '14 and Gear S from a month ago. The S is an ATT from Samsung and worked fine until a few days ago. Now the S refuses to complete the Gear software installation it completed fine a month ago.
Did the Note 4 reset, reinstalled the Gear app, the Note 4 recognizes the S, the S acknowledges the 4 but never gets past the "waiting for the Samsung Gear app setup....
I waited overnight with no success.
I know the Verizon 4 may seem a mismatch with the ATT S, but it worked fine for over a month.
Any ideas?

go into the settings menu and select "Reset Gear"
Hard Reset
cipherswitch ,
I am unable to access the menu to reset the S but I did find a procedure to hard reset th S by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to enter reboot mode then press power button to bring up a selection of actions: ?, download; restore; power off. I selected restore to do a system restore to original.
Then attempted to reinstall the Gear osftware to the S. No luck. the Note 4 and S properly handshake but S hands up "Waiting for Gear setup".
It's going back.
Thanks
Id be more concerned as to why you couldnt get into the menu. Clearly we are missing some information here...

When your S was new, could you access the menu on the watch to go to settings to reset it?
This is how the S is behaving.

Good afternoon all...
I bought this for my wife and she loves it.. Thanks for all the information on the forums.
Unfortunately, she is having a problem and as this is the smartest group of people I know, I thought I would ask here about the issue she is having.
It seems that the Gear Fit is in an infinite reboot loop. I've tried holding the power button to turn it off, but nothing I can do has caused it to break its reboot loop. I'm hoping the people here that are smarter than myself can assist before I have to return the device and start over. I'm afraid I may have to do that anyway, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, correct?
Have a great day all!

won't stop
Hi All,
The rebooting loop won't stop for me. I am able to follow the attachment - 5 clicks of button when it shows "rebooting" and then select download. then it's just stuck in downloading. if I long press on button it will shut down but sometimes it comes back on by itself, or stay off. I fully charged it, left it off for a long while and try to start again, just goes back to rebooting loop.
The download option doesn't work for me either, it always goes back to the boot loop. Did anyone find another solution yet?
Flash a firmware upgrade with odin.

Mine is stuck in a reboot loop now. I have the latest firmware. None of the selected solutions worked for me.

The firmware flash with Odin worked for me.
I have had my gear fit for 2 days amd love it.. BUT here i am on day 3 and it keeps rebooting for no reason. Not a loop just every so often it will just reboot. As the day goes on it seems to be doing it more and more.. is it defective? Anyway to fix it without flashing it. I dont think flashing is a good idea what am i going to have to reflash it every other day. .
Fit Reboot
I've had my fit for about a month and yesterday it started rebooting, and was stuck in a reboot loop.
Here's what worked for me.
Both my wife and I have a fit, so I changed the name of mine
1. I powered the fit off, went into the GearFit Manager app on my phone and change the name back to it's default name.
2. Powered the fit on, it took a couple of times, but it came up with a screen telling me to install the GearFit Manager app on my mobile device. It's already installed.
3. From the GreatFit app on my phone I clicked on "Paired Device", then clicked on "Connect"
4. My Fit connected to my phone and stopped rebooting
Once the Fit was connected it stopped rebooting and I found I had to setup a few thing again, wallpaper, clock, and a few others.
For my situation it looks like renaming the device back to default was to key. Hope this helps
Go Fit
I can't get my Fit to enter download mode. The scene to put it in download mode appears, but no matter which option I highlight, the Fit returns to the bootloop. Help?

I tried it and it worked, finally. I had to try about 6 times. Thanks for the post!
i get the gear fit into download mode but the com port in odin wont recognize the gear
I've first connected the Gear fit to my Note and it work well but the problem began when I want to use it with my wife's S4 Activ. Even after reseting the Gear fit, it will never delete the link with the Note 3 and I'm not able to connect the Gear to the S4,
After each connection test, the gear manager is deleted from the Sç and I must download it again to thave the same problem.
Any other way to reset the gear than the rest button at the end of the menu?
The reset button should delete the link with Note but it won't work and after restting the gear all stuff downloaded in from the note 3 is still here and ther's no connection possible with the S4 and certainly with other's devices.
Any help welcome
Thanks to have put the link to the doc on the site, unavailable on samsung sites (Gear lite not listed to)

After multiple try, around 10, the reset finally work and from yesterday, the fit is linked to my wife's S4! :laugh:
Don't understand why it won't work before!
Purchased my gear S last night everything was working fine. It stopped receiving notifications today for some reason - no emails, SMS, etc everything else seems to be working fine.
I am connected by Bluetooth. Tried factory reset twice and even cleared cache on phone.
Any other tips?

ok
After amost losing all hope, it workes, not quite sure what triggered it back on. I decided one thing i didmt try was uninatalling gear manager app amd reimstalling it, did that which in return force factory resets the gear as well (it didnt matter cuz i had manually some that 3 times by now) and then it randomly started working again.
I do feel sometimes it misses some notifications, even if you select the option to semd all notifications.
As for firmware version, no update is available for me neither!
Firmware ending in ANJ3
Very strange. Notifications now not getting pushed, only getting SMS ones. Have not cha ged any of the settings. What am I doing wrong
Same problem here

go under samsung gear manager click on your device (Gear S (xxxx) software update uncheck auto update click update now it should prompt you that it will download update it will rest your watch should not reset your phone
Why should the Gear manager ever want to reset your phone?

No problem. Restart of the phone is fine.
Decided to format my entire phone.. Long overdue anyway.. Once i connected to gear thia time it prompted with update available (prev saying no updates avail) and i can see now its changed tonNJ7 and its only been a few hours but seems to pick up all notifications so far with no problem... Not sure why only after fomatting the phone did it ever ive me the option to upgrade but glad it did..
I had the issue, but realised I still had Gmail intercepting email and the Samsung email app was not configured correctly to sync. It's a shame the watch only works properly with Samsung's email app. It's OK but very basic.
As for the SMS, it happpened only once, but I rebooted both the phone and watch and it all works OK. Once again I was using a 3rd party SMS app that I hadn't disabled properly.
The SMS app from Samsung is also basic but I like the fact you can reply to SMS on the watch, so I am sticking to it for now.
I just checked for updates and found there is an update and it did fix the notification bug

Notifications stop after bluetooth disconnects, even after recconnecting
I have a Gear S paired to a Note 4.
The Gear S stops receiving notifications whenever the Bluetooth connection between the devices is lost – even after the Bluetooth connection re-establishes itself, and despite the fact that the Gear S is set up to receive notifications via the internet. I can replicate this problem - so its definitely not a random issue.
I have tried the following, without success:
➢ Restarting the Gear S
➢ Resetting the Gear S
➢ Uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager app
➢ Checking for Gear S software updates.
The only thing that works (temporarily) is to restart the Note 4. But as soon as Bluetooth disconnects (for example, if I walk out of range of the Note 4) the notifications fail to work again.
My Gear S software version is R750XXU1ANJ4. Gear Manager indicates that there is no update available.
I've emailed Samsung, but haven't had any response yet.
Any advice would be appreciated. I love the Gear S - so not keen to return it.
Thx
I have a stock ATT Note 4 which finally received the M update (yay!) except it kinda broke my gear s (boo!) Watch is working, as far as a watch goes, and still connects via bluetooth. However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
I am using Galaxy Wearable with Galaxy Plugin for Samsung Galaxy watch classic.
After MIUI 14 update its not keeping Bluetooth connectivity properly, its getting disconnected after few seconds.
I have uninstalled whole software and reconnected watch but issue still exists.
Help!
Have you tried Factory Resetting the watch?

Same problem, but on Note 10 Pro. Watch just randomly disconnects, bluetooth connection needs to be manually started again. Tried reinstalling apps, restarting watch, a2dp, turning off miui optimalization, and still nothing.
Everything was working fine on android 12. Now the lifetime of my active2 watch is down from 3 days, to maybe 1,5 days.
Anybody has any ideas? I am considering downgrading to android 12, cause it's so bad.
Thanks!
