N7 with gear s2 - Verizon Note 7 Questions & Answers

Anyone using these 2 together? Had zero issues with my n5, but with this phone my watch rings even if it's set to vibrate. Kinda spoils the point of vibrate.

I am having the same issue. Gear s2 3g. Really annoying. Hope this gets fixed. The only way it doesn't ring is if you put it on silent. But you also don't get any vibrations.

I am running my note 7 with my gear s2 3g and I'm not having those problems. Mine is working just fine.

I'm running mine with the Gear s2 classic 3g, and it works just fine

Samsung suggested a hard reset on the gear s2. When I swapped phones, my gear suggested a light reset. Did y'all who aren't having issues do a hard reset? Also what options do y'all have under bluetooth on your phone for the gear? Just audio?

Everything you said. Plus, I can no longer purchase any watch faces. Able to buy on my Note 5. Did a factory reset, etc. Called Samsung 3 separate times and got nowhere. VZW says to call Samsung. Can I not give these people my money??
Seriously annoyed tho. I just bought the S2 Classic the Monday before getting my N7. Only had a chance to buy two faces from the N5. If I switch back to the N5, I can spend all my money, lol.

Did you do a full hard reset on your watch?

I did. A few times. And then again, each time before switching back & forth between the Notes 5 & 7.
Have any of you who have previously had the watch paired with a different device, try to purchase any watch faces since the Note 7?

I've had no issues with watch faces. That's interesting.

I have my phone set on block and my watch is able to vibrate with it's settings on.

Blocking mode? Testing that now

I'll stick with my Pebble. Not a fan of the mini-computer-on-wrist thing... The pebble still looks like a watch.
You want to pay $300 to not take your phone out of your pocket?

You still have to take it out of your pocket anyway. All the gear does is tell you you have an email or sms,doesn't actually show who from or the message at all. Kinda makes it useless in my opinion.
I do really want a smart watch myself and the only decent one is the pebble.
JaredC01 is right. The pebble still looks like a watch plus it gets decent battery life considering the screen is always readable and doesn't shut off unlike the Galaxy Gear. I can find out who's calling me, what's playing, what message they sent me without having to use my other hand to power the screen on (unless the gear has an accelerometer trigger to turn the screen on when flicking one's wrist). Sticking with my pebble until something better arrives.

Do you think should I buy a Pebble NOW? I mean, is it too late?
I won't want to be that connected to my phone.

I think they're trying to finish with the pre-orders first before being sold in retail stores (if any at all or maybe only online). A lot of people backed this kickstart project and the pebble orders piled up quickly. I backed them up last year on September and I just got mine this past June. Maybe the wait is less now, or maybe not.
I ordered my Pebble watch just under a month ago and it just arrived.
It's not about not wanting to take your phone out to look at, rather it's about being a little more subtle when checking updates. I can check messages and notifications with the same amount of disruptions as a wrist flick.
If you want something cheap get a Sony watch first or second version for 50-150 on ebay if you want a wrist communicator
But with the pebble you can do some useful things like delete messages, skip through songs, and other stuff that would be useful for say running or if you are at the office and don't want to be blatant about certain things.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I bought my pebble a month ago in best buy. It was honerstly an amazing piece of hardware and works well. I didn't need to order it or wait. I had an s4 at the time a d it didn't work well with Samsung's talkback bug but I would buy again in a heartbeat... It's a smaller size to me. I usually wear large faces like diesel or breitling but otherwise it works better than the gear.

Now that Gear is gonna be open to a lot of Samsung devices I wouldnt be surprised to hear they figured out how to make it run w a One
Questions answered about the Galaxy Gear
I work for Sprint, and I was awarded the Galaxy Gear as part of the Galaxy Note 3 Advocate package. As for what the watch is capable of, it does more than what the previous posters have stated. To answer some of what was said.....it does display your text messages, and it allows you to respond via S-Voice to them. It has a media controller that allows you to skip tracks, control volume levels, and play/pause media including videos. It has a pedometer, accesses your contacts, call logs, and more. I love mine, but I'm honestly waiting for someone to figure out how to successfully pair it with the HTC One or the One Max so I can come back to my HTC. The Note 3 is awesome, but I would rather be using my HTC One with the gear.....thats my take on it.
I bought my pebble from best buy, love it. I've played with the Galaxy Gear, Samsung tried sticking way too many features into the watch and forgot that it was a watch. Get the Pebble.

I didn't pay for mine....got it for free. I had a customer who brought in his iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S to recycle after purchasing the Note 3 using the Sprint 1-Up program for $47.25.....got the gear for free with enough change from the recycle to purchase a body glove case with no out of pocket cost!! Awesome deal!

[Q] Talking Galaxy Tab s

Hey guys,
Just went to a major whse and bought the Galaxy Tab s. Looking over the specs I noticed it can mirror my Galaxy Note 3 via sidesync to send and receive calls. However one can't talk THROUGH the Tab s? I just talked to two live chat support and they said you can't. Both are bluetooth paired, sydsynced, both have microphones and speakers. All set up to be able to talk through the Tab s right? Nyet. no. Yet, my $80 dumb car stereo with bluetooth can and the sound comes through the speaker so why can't this whizz bang tablet? What am I doing wrong and missing?
Thanks for any hep.
I've searched google for w while now and I found ONE thread about downloading something onto my computer then onto the tablet after rooting but I'm not that technical. I'm three hours into the search and nothing. So either I'm asking the google the wrong question or a solution isn't there?
Yeah, call through secondary device, everybody wants, but AFAIK not solution around. Bummer.
I became so disappointed as you when I realized I couldn't speak and hear through tab when picking calls from note 3.
The solution we expect will require a BT phone in range with note 3. That is pretty redundant because tab has a BT phone built in as you said.
Sidesync is nice but is fresh and there is a lot of room for features and improvements on its next versions.
sydesinc for now acts just like a windows RDC and can't be used if you're tethering data from secondary device. it is nice but it's not enough.

Thanks guys just my luck. This is NOT what was advertised or rather a slick omittance and half truth in their advertisement. Even a gent from a major electronic magazine at the CES show stated after sydsyncing his phone "will be able to talk through the device and mirror your phone". Then went on to drag and drop a pic of his mirrored phone onto the Tab. I thought cool finally! So much for research.
It amazes me they went 9/10th of the way but thought it not useful to go that extra tenth to make it be a pass though device for calls.
Again, thank you for your answers.:good: Going back today to return it.

Sad to say that is the case. It does work with S5 however. Did you update your software? I am wondering if that would take care of it. Not sure why it would with S 5 and not Note.

So you confirm you can make a call on S5 (actually pressing it on tab) through sidesync and speak on the mic of te tab?
can we bridge calls through devices or not? I just could't figure how.

I was able to tether the entire call through my galaxy tab S via sidesync using my galaxy S4, however I can't tell if it works with my new Note 4. I called my partner while I was at home and they were at work, using sidesync, with my S4 in the next room on the charger, however I had it connected via wifi and bluetooth.
As far as i know,it only works with S5.
In a few days i have my Tab S 10.5 lte and that's the reason i will change my Note 3 into an S5.

Note 5 Bluetooth Issues...Anyone Else?

I've had the Note 5 for about three weeks or so and I absolutely love it. Right around the 28th of September I received the small OTA update that activated samsung pay and had some other small fixes. Since that time I've had horrible bluetooth issues. Constantly disconnecting from my Gear Live, disconnecting from my headphones, and unable to discover or pair to my car stereo. Prior to this update I had no issues at all.
Is anyone else experiencing this or do I just have a bad device that needs to be replaced?

I have a thread on here about playing music through my Infiniti g37x 2012 and it stuttering every few seconds.
You are not alone. I have had the same problem ever since one of the Samsung Pay updates. Bluetooth was working fine up until then.

Here's to hoping samsung releases a fix ASAP because it sucks not having reliable bluetooth.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
Hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later, but unfortunately, I don't have much confidence that Samsung will be very quick.
I hope I'm wrong. I absolutely love this phone, but the bluetooth problem is making my Android Wear watches worthless and I have really grown to love using them.

Yeah I feel the same. I didn't realize how much I use bluetooth until this happened. Just ordered a nexus 5x so if they don't fix this soon looks like I won't be using my Note anymore. [emoji22]

HTC 10 Compatible with the Samsung Galaxy gear app ?

SO it's been awhile since i bought a new HTC but after finding out yesterday that T- Mobile will be releasing it on wednesday the 18th i was a happy camper , then i remembered that my Galaxy Gear S2 watch 4G is not compatable with my One plus X , So i figured i would call HTC Support and ask if the new phone will work with my new 4G watch
and i am sad to say that i was told it will not work , that it's not even a software issue but a hardware issue as well, was really looking forward to buying this Phone if anyone has any positive input it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

My gear s2 is working perfect with my htc 10
My S2 and HTC 10 work but I can't get notifications on text messages or gmail or FB or been able to download Android Pay. Anything you would recommend?
I'm actually having issues getting my gear fit 2 paired
My Fitbit Surge will not pair with my HTC 10. Called Fitbit Tech support and told they're reviewing the issue.
Told to check back later. Called back a month later and told there's still no solution. Understand that the same issue affects the Samsung Galaxy S7. Anyone have recent information about this matter?

Had issues pairing a few Bluetooth devices. Guess the is the 10s wreak spot.
Called Fitbit Tech Support again today, Sept. 18th, and got the same answer as before.

I have my gear s2 paired just fine. Below is what I would suggest:
1) delete your gear s2 from Bluetooth settings on your phone and make sure the gear s2 is factory reset.
2) open play store and download Samsung Gear, Samsung accessory service, S health, and Gear Plugin.
3) open Samsung Gear and pair normally.
If you are missing any of those apps, it will not work properly.
Have no problems with my HTC10 and Samsung Gear Fit2 combo. Most important thing is to factory reset the gear before pairing!
Get the same performance and notifications as with my former daily the Note4
Every time I make a call or receive a call the watch takes over the call via Bluetooth. It's super annoying and can't seem to figure this out. Any ideas?

I experience the same problems. I wonder if someone has figured this out already?
Subsequently I experience the problem that my gear loses its bluetooth connection for approx. 5 seconds when my HTC 10 goes into standby. I wonder if there's a fix for this problem as well...

Who's still rocking the Note 7

With no interest in leaving...

New Note 7 update is rolling out to limit the battery to 60%. Dont take accept it if you plan on keeping it.
Also, they might blacklist all Note 7 phones, so you might want to think about that.
Carlos Danger here checking in.
They'll have to pry the phone off my hands. I will not update.

Samsung Pay will no longer install or update. Switched to Android Pay.

Still rocking my "safe" lol....replacement Note 7, and was lucky enough to root (store didn't update the the phone during activation). All OTA's blocked, so no 60% for me, thank you.
Happy to hold my Note 7.
Not happy with Samsung's tactics.
Still waiting for a report on just what caused Note 7's to flame out and then just as suddenly stop.
I'm still using my Note 7. Still deferring the update that caps battery at 60%.
No point leaving this phone until I absolutely have to. It's the best smartphone I've ever used.
I feel sorry for those folks that got duped into returning their phones......not.
I am struggling with the "no 3rd party updates".....never happened.
I am pizzed to have been booted from Verizon's network......never happened.
The lack of security updates have made my life hell.....not.
When Play Store booted me I began to cry.....never happened.
When Sammy sent out the apocalyptic EMP laden hammer down it also took out my hearing aid.....never happened.
Got all my Sales Tax back, every payment back, still charging to 100%. Use it daily.
THIS IS TORTURE!!!
Oh, and my Upgrade eligibility is still in tact.......think I'll commit suicide for Christmas this is so terrible.
Still using mine and must say it runs cooler then my last three phones. Kinda funny to see some people's reactions when you tell them what phone you have ( oh no it's going to blow up).

How did folks get duped ? You are not allowed to carry the Note 7 on a plane and some public transportation. Emails were being sent not to charge your phone in University libraries and many public areas.
Okay, you got yourself a free phone now, thats cool.
I got a little less than $1,000 check from Sammy for turning in my Note 7.....this happened.
I still have mine but only use it for Wi-Fi only device. If VZW hadn't killed the hotspot feature I'd still be using it as my daily driver

Foxfi works on the Note 7.
My VZ hotspot works fine. Just used it earlier today.
Using my Note 7 with no problems just a fast and dependable phone. In fact I doubled down on the Note 7 by purchasing the "Samsung Note 7 Battery Back Pack" for $38.95 on Amazon. Had the back pack for a week now an it is great to have on the go battery reserves.
