Can't get rid of this noti9 - Samsung Gear S

I keep getting this notification
SAMSUNG ACCOUNT
to access Samsung services with your Samsung account, connect your gear to your phone.
It is already connected. I am assuming it has something to do with how it is paired to a Sony Xperia Z3 and not a Samsung device.
Any idea how to get rid of this notification?

Gear S works only with Samsung phone

Yeah, this message pops up every time the Bluetooth connection is dropped, and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop this, very, very annoying. This is with my Gear S3 and Pixel XL.

Gear S not reconnecting via bluetooth

I have the Gear S and the Note 4 (both through T-Mobile). I have noticed that when I move out of bluetooth range of my phone, the watch connects remotely so that I can take calls on the watch, but when I come back within bluetooth range of the phone the watch will not automatically reconnect via bluetooth. It remains connected remotely (even when the phone and the watch are sitting right next to one another). Am I doing something wrong, or am I just going to have to reestablish the bluetooth connection manually?

It not gonna reconnect right away. Blue tooth would have to be scanning non stop. Then people will complain about battery dying fast. Also it takes about 10 min for it to search and connect depending on your phone.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
Thanks a lot. That explanation actually makes a lot of sense.
That's not quite how Bluetooth works, however this fix for this issue is straight forward.
Un install Samsung Gear from your phone. Reset your Gear S, install Samsung Gear, reconnect phone and restore data.
Bluetooth should re connect within seconds after you walk away from your phone.
This broke because of an issue in an update patch to the Samsung Gear software. The patch does not upgrade the software properly, and a re installation is required.
I had the same issue with my Note Edge and Gear S.
Fixed now though.
I had the same issue and re installed yesterday and it connected. What I found to be annoying was I had to completely delete Samsung app store from note or I couldn't install apps from Sammy. It would download then during install process it would fail with error code -112 . It may have something to do with when I fix permission in recovery but it only started doing that after latest update. It's annoying but I guess the temp solution is easy to fix
I have similar problem with bluetooth. When I turn off bluetooth and then turning on the Gear won't to connect. On the phone request pair code for bluetooth appears, but on Gear appears: GT-I9301I is attepting to connect to your Gear. To connect to GT-I9301I, the gear will be reset to its factory settings..When the device is reset, it connect properly and everything work fine until I turn bluetooth off. Then again want to reset the device. My Gear is SM-R750A and phone is GT-I9301I. I try to re-install Gear Manager, reset phone, reset Gear, but still have tis problem.

I have made a thread describing how to fix this....In a nut shell you need to completely uninstall gear mgr and galaxy apps and delete the apps in gear manager under the manage apps then click all which is beside the updates tab. Also uninstall all updates to galaxy apps. This will fix issue. here is the xda thread link. Follow it to a t and you will be good l. Let me know your outcome.

I try this, but didn't work. I think the problem is Bluetooth of the phone, becouse I paired Gear S with two different phone and work fine. Also when I try to pair phone with bluetooth in car it appears same problem - connect only first time. Is there any way to re-install the Bluetooth or to change driver or something like that.
Try deleting data in app manager for anything bluetooth related. Factory reset phone if that doesn't work. If you are on a custom rom reinstall rom and see if that helps, research if a different kernel works better. Good luck
Turn off "Use Remote Connection" in the Gear S app settings on your phone. Problem solved
Actually, ignore my previous response, that did not solve the issue.
What did, however, was unpairing then reparing the Gear S to my phone. No problems since

I had the same issue and used the suggestion above and it didn't work.
I uninstalled on the device, reset gear, then reinstalled on device and reconnected...bluetooth did connect. I walked away came back and the gear didn't reconnect automatically. I had to reconnect from the phone side. THIS SUCKS!!!
Anyone have any other suggestions? i have gear s and NOTE 3 (android 5.0)

Note 5 and Gear S not reconnecting automatically
My New Note 5 has the same problem, not reconnecting after phone and watch are back together. I have to manually flip on phone use in bluetooth settings. This is still after factory resetting phone and watch. Is there any updated fixes

gear s cyanogenmod os unable to connect to galaxy s4
Hello
I have installed cyanogenmod 12.1 in my gear s. Now trying to pair the gear s by installing samsung gear app in mobile (S4) but mobile is unable to find my gear s. then i tried android wearable app. In android wearable it detects the gear s but for long time unable to sync the data. I also found that bluetooth gets disconnected (either from gear s or S4 that unable to understand). Please help how do i pair my S4 with gear s. DO i have to install any software in gear s?
Hello someone managed to solve even me notes 3 and gear s when disconnected with the bluetooth will not re connects

Is there any way to remotely change settings on a Galaxy Alpha with a broken LCD?

I have a Galaxy Alpha with a broken screen from a drop. The device seems to be able to boot up, but screen is black so I cant even see anything. Samsung is asking me for 2/3 of what I paid for it, in order to replace the broken screen. Which is a non-starter.
The phone is really only of use to me as a "home" for the Gear app for syncing my Samsung Gear S watch. Unfortunately I had the phone offline and sync was off, at the time I dropped it. I'd rather not buy another phone just as a home for the watch and obviously, I dont want pay for a new screen when the cost is almost price of buying the phone.
Is there anyway for me to turn on the sync remotely or via a host PC? Just so I can turn the sync on and keep being able to use the email on my smartwatch. I have tried the find my phone on Google dashboard but my only option there is to wipe the device or make a call to it, but I cant control any of the settings otherwise.
Any ideas helpful...

[REQ] [Q] Gear S & Note Edge Connection/Sync First Time Issues

Do I need to have a active sim card in it, it connected to gear manager got 4 files pushed to it and then my note edge sat there for at least 30 minutes I guess saying connecting to gear s still when I got back from leaving them at home and running to the store.
Gear Manager shows the Gear S but its just a blank Orange titled and white bodied app page with nothing on it however after rebooting the gear s it still shows me the welcome setup page.
What can I do, I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand more times, Gear Manager and Samsung really made a epic fail at the software and syncing side of these damn watches, made it such a pain in the ass that they almost aren't worth owning cause of it.
Really guys, no one??? XDA's evergrowing helpful community at it's finest!!!
I tried resetting all the gear manager related app's on my phone, but now it won't go through initial setup it just loads Gear Manager and then asks me to choose my Gear device either Galaxy Gear or Gear S
Then when I choose Gear S it loads a new screen that acts as if it froze and never fully loaded with a orange title header that says Gear S and a blank white body
Gear Assistant and Old Gear Manager is giving me a bluetooth pairing confirmation pin.... Getting a lil closer, but then out of nowhere something happened and bluetooth started turning off in the middle of everything on the Gear and now I'm not getting the pairing pin again and getting bluetooth timed out error message.
Had to factory reset my Note Edge in order to get it successfully connect in gear manager(Latest version)... Which is stupid.

Gear S with LG G5

Hey, I just got the LG G5 today. I've been using the Gear S for less than a year with my S6 Edge with no problems at all (after changing from the LG G Watch R, Samsung seemed to lock out the old watch with a software update).
I've been trying for the past few hours to set up my Gear S with the LG, but nothing's working. I've tried what seems to be the 2 most popular methods and neither worked. The closest I got was pairing the 2 via bluetooth in the Gear app, the watch said it needed to reboot and factory reset. But then nothing. Just stuck in an unending connecting loop.
The G5 is running Android 6, I've heard that the Gear S has some problems with that.
I don't need full functionality for the Gear S, just call and text notifications (it will do the calls via a normal BT connection but not texts). I use it as a music player as well, but since that isn't tied to the phone, I know I'll have that no matter what.
I've also heard about possibly being able to install Android Wear on the Gear S. Is that possible?
Can someone please help?
same problem with LG V10 Marshmallow appreciate the help plz. thank you

Looking to pay person or shop to make Gear S Work On Pixel

I have seen various fourms where people managed to root their Gear S and then load CM 12 on it or other methods to get it to work on nonsamsung phones. I have rooted a few phones and loaded some ROMS before ( this site is great), but can't seem to get anywhere on this Gear S. It was bought as a Christmas present for when I had a S5 Active, but am about ready to just chunk it in the trash. I can't seem to get any other ROM to load on this phone or get it to talk my Pixel. Does anyone know if this has been successfully done and or anyone who does this for hire or a shop that does. Would work out the details, but trying to figure out if I can just pay to get this watch working or if I just need to go buy Android Wear watch. Thanks in advance.
Hey, i'll help you
i had the same problem as you, the samsung manager app on the play store wont sync with the watch no matter how many times you try, so this is what i did to make it work:
1 if your gear s is still stuck on the set up and is requesting to open the gear manager app on your phone. Go to the second screen on your watch and you will see a samsung logo on the left corner, tap on it for about 20 to 30 times after this you will get the bluetooth adress show at the bottom of the screen, then tap and hold the logo again for 3 seconds, and done you will skip the setup procces.
2 go to settings on the watch and go to bluetooth and select make my watch visible, then on your phone open the bluetooth conf. and sync it this will allow you to receive calls and make calls from your watch.
3 to get the notifications on your watch you will have to turn on hotspot on your pixel and then go to the wifi settings on your gear s and connect it to your phone via wifi.
thats it you got your gear s work around this non samsung compatibility issue. i hope this help you.
i love my gear s but now i got a oneplus 3t kinda bummer that samsung wont make all their smartwatch compatible with all phones. good luck.
Problem with Gear S (and I had same problem so I asked Samsung) is, that u can pair it ONLY with Galaxy S lineup (for 100% compatibility - call, sms, installing apps, etc.). If you have different phone than Galaxy S and you downloaded app from google play, you can't pair them with it. The google play app is only for Gear S2, Gear S3, Gear FIT and older. But not for Gear S.
You can get them working, but it will never have all functions. In other words, 100% compatibility is impossible.
