Hi guys,
New guy here so hope i'm not doing anything wrong such as double posts etc.
Did anyone manage to use Samsung Gear S3 correctly with Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Every time I try to pair device using Samsung Gear app, app closes down. So really starting to think it is not compatible or something. So getting to know some Xiaomi user managed to pair will be assuring.
Thanks

Ensure that you have plugins installed:
- samsung accessory service,
- gear s plugin.
Ensure that you use not customized miui firmware. Works on global stable 8.1 and dev 7.4.6

You need a Samsung phone to set up the watch and use it...

With limited functions you can setup it without samsung phone... For example I use it with Sony Z1 and notifications work, but all samsung apps(which need samsung account) do not work...

Check out "Notifications for Gear S". You can download it from the regular Google Playstore, and it allows you to answer texts/whatsap/viber, etc. I don't know if it will work with your specific phone, but it's only $1.25 I think, and does more than the native notifications do.
ETA: Sammy also offer it in their app store, but the dev says update cycles take much longer there.
Thanks for your fast reply xendula & _Dejan_ ,
I think that on android 5.0 don't work the "Gear Manager" because I follow step by step the instructions and don't work for me. When I open the app Gear Manager, this stopped with an error. I think that this error is produced by Android Lolipoop.
Tomorrow, I try with motorola moto g to view if it is posible work with this smartphone.
Thanks for all !

Yes Im pretty shure that Gear S will not work with 5.0 until some samsung phones will not have it stock and gear manager support it...
On November 2014 I bought Gear S which i paired with my samsung galaxy s3 neo. Sometimes the smart watch stopped to work and I was able to reactivate the Gear S only after resetting it.
On 23 February after experiencing another arrest of the Gear s I downloaded from Galaxy apps the latest version of gear manager (2.2.14110499). After I have installed the gear manager I wasn’t able to reactivate my gear s although it paired with my galaxy S3 neo. In particular the gear manager is not able to download the additional software and I receive the following message: “Unable to connect to the gear. Connection to the gear is not supported by your mobile device…” Moreover just beneath the above message appear a writing during just some seconds stating: “Download url not available, can’t launchPlugin!”
What is not working? My gear s or the new gear manager?
Can someone help me? Thanks

Which version of Android are you using?
Unable to pair Gear S with S3 neo

I'm using Android 4.4.2
Hmmm. Well, in order for the S to be compatible with your Samsung phone, you have to have 4.4+, non-mod touchwiz, and the gear manager (and the supporting apps... Sam Store, IAP, etc).
Is it a custom ROM or stock? If stock, when was your last OTA update?

I think I found fraud. For some days now in the official Samsung website (at least in the Italian site) neo s3 is no longer listed among the smart phones compatible with Gear S. Is this behavior legal? I hope Samsung solves this mess as soon as possible.

Problem solved! I followed the procedure reported in another thread :"Tutorial: Install Gear Manager and connect to Non-Samsung Devices" and now all seems to work perfectly. Fortunately XDA exists. Thanks
Does anyone managed successfully to pair honor 7 with Samsung Gear 2?
I know, that Gear Manager works only with Samsung's devices, but if pairing Nexus 5 with Gear Fit is possible, so maybe Gear2 can be forced to cooperate with h7 also?
Yes, some people on this forum reported that they uses Gear with Honor 7.
So it is possible.
How did you hook honor?
hi, im using gear s2 with honor 7. i tried on wbt emui and wbt miui rom and there is no problem. just make gear apps protected. i bought some apps for more effective whatsapp notifications so i can suggest if you need.
Dear wonderful people of XDA and experts of gear S devs, I have a problem connecting my note 4 to my gear S and it is mainly due to me using a custom stock rom(nameless ROM). It is very much debloated of most Samsung stuff.
Can anyone please enlighten me what is required for a Samsung phone to be paired with gear S? I want to find out what is lacking so that I may install it. I have also consulted the Rom dev for advice as well.
I think only gear manager and a Sammy rom
Gear Manager Assistant have you tried that? it's on Black Market if you don't wanna pay for it AND test it out first to see if it works correctly and then buy it...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gear_installer It's the second one down but here's some others in the related tab bar. Then there's Gear Manager for All https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gearconnector it's only a $1.90, I can say for certain Gear Manager Assistant downloads and grabs all the needed files for ya.
Oh and here's official Gear Manager maybe it'll install all the needed files: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager

I did manage to connect a GW5 Pro with Oppo Find N. It took me half a day of trial and error but is doable.
There are a lot of threads in reddit on how to do it...

I managed to connect it with the link in this thread but it doesn't help. Won't update any health app i try, Samsung health, Google fit or my fitness pal.
I have Find N ,and galaxy watch 4 Classic, full connected without Samsung pay, all other it's running.
But sometimes it's disconnected and in a few minutes reconnect itself....
Some one know how to install global ROM?
