What error is it giving?

The app store says it's not compatible with my device (tablet), and won't install. I sideloaded it but the watch refuses to connect, tried everything. Called Samsung support and they confirmed it's not compatible with my tablet. Watch is going back. I really like the watch but as I don't have a cell phone it's next to useless to me.
Samsung Galaxy tablet will not connect to a Samsung Galaxy watch, unbelievable.

Why buy a watch designed to work with a phone if you don't have one?
How on earth don't you have a phone anyhow?

Wireless display to samsung smart tv says connected then ended, any suggestions to ge

I have new Nexus 7 running clean rom and a Samsung 2013 smart tv. On my TV I go to screen mirroring and then it waits for a device to connect. On the Nexus 7 I go to wireless display and search. It finds my Samsung tv. I click on it, the nexus 7 says connecting and the TV says connecting to device as well. Then the TV says device connected. On the nexus it still says connecting. Then the TV goes black and then says screen mirroring has ended. On nexus it goes from connecting to my Samsung TV not being on the list anymore. On my Verizon galaxy s3 screen sharing works fine.
Do I need the allshare app on the nexus for this to work correctly? If so is there a version compatible with the new nexus 7?
If I don't need allshare app is there a mod I can do to get this to work?
Thanks for any help.

Do you have a samsung phone, with allshare cast on it? if not you may want to check for a software update / firmware update for your TV as the allshare cast dongle required a update for "Screen Mirroring" to work instead of being locked down to just samsung devices with "AllshareCast", even though AllshareCast is Miracast, which is what the n7's screen mirroring is.

Yes my Verizon Galaxy S3, which works fine on the TV and does have allshare cast on it. I did a firmware update on my TV about a week ago and just tried the screen mirroring today with that result. I will try again when I get home to see if maybe the nexus just needed a reboot and to see if any new firmwares came about on my TV since the last one.

I don't know that it's applicable to tv's also, but does your s3 have the allsharecast dongle software update, that was updated July 30th installed? It does kind of have a small reference to tv's in the app description, but it's horribly translated to English , so who knows what all it applies to really lol

I was just gonna respond that yes it does and I see what that does now, when I get home I will see if I can get that to work and then try the nexus 7 again. Thanks for your help.

I have exactly the same case here - unable to use my Samsung smart tv as wireless display for my N7 flo. Any ideas?
Exact same here with Nexus 4 and new 75F6300, with all updates.
Nexus 4 works fine with LG TVs that I tried.

So it should be samsung TV incompatibility then.
I never had luck getting this to work, but I wondered if the google chromecast, or any device in its $35 price range, can be used to successfully screen mirror from the new nexus 7.

Guys, if you are running custom roms and kernels, the chances of screen mirroring is near zero.
I see reports of some custom roms and kernels for my S4 with working display mirroring but that's like a 1 in 20 chance and I never could find one that worked for me. However, stock rom and kernel (even rooted) worked for me on the S4.
I'm running 4.3 stock rooted on my N7 and miracast work fine as well.
I'm using PTV3000 as the sink device so may be different from standalone TVs.

Your so right about that I have a locked bootloader xperia z on existenz rom based on stock xperia rom and I get screen mirror errors but the developer of the rom says its fine for him but ive only experience these errors since kitkat was released for xperia z ive been on about three different custom roms based on stock for xperia z and only one of those roms had working screen mirroring @niaboc79 please fix this problem ive been asking you for months cany you promise me it will be fixed in v2.0 please dont care how long it takes
Here it is 4 years later and I still can't find a solution.
Custom marshmallow roms usually support miracast, it should work with your older TV, nougat does not as I know,that's why I bought a used chromecast2. May a Dev will take care for it in the near future for nougat.
I have a Galaxy s7 and I'm screen mirror from my fire stick and it's been working just fine I been watching movies, now when I try to screen mirror to watch more movies it keeps saying smart view connection ended. What does this means?

FitBit One with Bluetooth on Galaxy Note 10.1 2014

Has anyone managed to get a Fitbit working on a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014? Wife brought herself the new note plus a Fitbit One but it doesn't show in devices and there's no way to sync it. Strangely the Galaxy Note 10.1 is listed as a compatable device on the Fitbit website but guess that must be the 2012 model as this thing just won't connect as it doesn't appear in the devices bluetooth menu. I can't understand it though, as it has Android 4.3 and Bluetooth 4.0 so it should work, but no joy. I've tried emailing Fitbit support but they don't seem to be understanding the problem, and just insisting to restart the Fitbit. My Xperia Z however picks it up no bother.
https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility
I have it working with Note 8, didn't try with 10.1. It doesn't show under bluetooth options, you don't pair like other devices. Install their app, follow instructions within it to connect.
Update:
I got it working by using the all devices app mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492436
By the looks of it they are configuring the device setup menu to appear on a per model basis, as the new device menu would not appear on the official store app. However the performance is pretty poor and the tablet seemed to suffer some slow down shortly after, so ended up uninstalling it again! My conclusion is Android is great in some respects and I love using it, but third party accessory support can be patchy when compared to Apple.

No, not yet
Still no way of getting a Tablet (A6) to pair with the watch?
Samsung has blocked its tablets to work with their watches...only Samsung phones..
I just got it to work on the Tab S7, posting the HOW TO here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-pair-galaxy-watch-4-to-your-tab-s7-7.4347889/

Galaxy Watch with Vivo V9

Right so there’s 2 parts to this, I want to know if the Samsung Galaxy Watch works with a Vivo V9. And secondly, to confirm before buying, I downloaded the Samsung Wearables app and opened it. It’s showed some options to connect to different Samsung Gear devices, but the Galaxy Watch just wasn’t on there. I even tried and downloaded all plugins, and all other related apps but none had the option to connect a Galaxy Watch. I’d appreciate if someone could help out as soon as possible. Thank you.
I have a xiaomi and watch just works perfectly, i guess it is the same on vivo.. galaxy wearable shows galaxy watch, no issues there either.
Worked on my OnePlus 7Pro and 8Pro...
Hello
There is still a problem, to use S Healt, you have to connect to a Samsung account but there is a two-step security and it only sends the code to Samsung phones!
Sorry for my English.
