Pair Gear S3 watch from Note 8 to Note 10+ - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right place. I am having issues on my Gear S3 watch when I pair it to Note 10+. Some of the watch faces (especially the purchased watch faces) is not available on the Note 10+ Galaxy Store. When I go to Galaxy App >> My Page >> All, I cannot see the complete list of the watches faces I purchased before. While it can be re-downloaded and installed on my Note 8 Galaxy Store. It is all present on my Note 8 if I pair it again to it.
I also tried backing up everything on my Gear S3 watch from Note 8 then restore when I pair it to Note 10+ but still the some of watch faces are not downloaded afterwards.
The only difference I see is the Galaxy Store version. Not sure if this is the reason.
Need help on this. Thanks!

I had this happen with the Titanium SU Pro watch face where it was available for my Note 9 but not my Note 10+ 5G.
One email to the Dev and all is now good. The dev just needed to update the watch face to support the new device types.

Correct - the app store backend is pretty archaic. You have to tick every combination of phone model with each watch model. There isn't an option to have it automatically support all devices

I have sent email to the developers of the missing watch faces. Only 1 developer replied so far. He said, there is nothing he can do.
Still checking with him if there is a way to add support for the new device. :crying:

They just need to log in to the seller page, click update on the watchface and under devices they need to tick all the new ones. Then submit and it will be approved in about 30 minutes

GearVR

"Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition is powered by the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and is not compatible with other smartphones or devices. Currently, the Verizon version of Galaxy Note 4 is not compatible but will be soon, check back here for updates. Some high-quality gaming apps may require the use of an Android game controller to offer control capabilities in addition to the Gear VR’s integrated touchpad and tracking sensors." <http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearable-tech/SM-R320NPWSXAR>
Should we wait before buying the GearVR? Or would the ones on the Samsung website eventually work for Verizon Note 4's?
Well that's upsetting seeing how i purchased one and missed that little tid bit but i suppose ill just be holding onto it until it is supported or find anyway around it.

I just thought that bit of information was strange > _ <;; Hopefully it will work by the time you get it though o:
I guess I'm just hoping the incompatibility is in the software and not in the hardware but I'll find out I suppose when it arrives
Looks to be an update needed. I don't know where that puts me ,I have de version, and don't get updates. I'll have to wait and see if we can do the update ourselves or something

Hello
I am on SM-910V running 5.1.1 rooted/unlocked bootloader/ twrp installed and wanted to know if the SM-R320NPWSXAR is now compatible with Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4.

Is the Galaxy S9 fully compatible with last year's Gear VR SM-R324?

Hi,
I try to figure out if last year's Gear VR is fully compatible with my new Galaxy S9 and get conflicting information on this topic. Some sites say that the Gear VR for Galaxy S8 (SM-R324) will work with the Galaxy S9, e.g. on Android Central:
"First, you can tell just by the look of the device. If the headset is black and comes with the motion controller, then it works with the Galaxy S8 and therefore will also work with the Galaxy S9. Second, you can check your headset's compatibility using your Gear VR's model number. You can follow our how-to guide to find your model number. If your device's model number is SM-R325 or SM-R324 then your Gear VR will work with the Galaxy S9."

However, there is an article on cnet.com that says:
"Samsung's newest phones, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, didn't debut with any new VR hardware. They do work with the Gear VR. However, they only work with the Note 8 model released in September last year, not the nearly identical Galaxy S8 version that debuted in March that same year. We confirmed this with Samsung. The issue is all about the fit.
Apparently, the design of the S9 is different enough that attempting to put it into an earlier S8-compatible Gear VR, released in early 2017, could damage it. Samsung advises using the Note 8 Gear VR, released in September 2017, for the best fit."

Has anyone tried putting a Galaxy S9 into a SM-R324 headset? I'm asking because the SM-R324 is more favorable than the latest model (SM-R325), but I don't want to damage my phone in the process.
Thanks for your help!
STOP! All you need is one of these!
Genuine Samsung Gear VR4 2017 SM-R325 Type-C Adapter/Connector - GH98-42239A
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07C59BRLQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zogbBb3MCJ5JM
A lot cheaper than a whole new headset! You will need a stanley knife or craft knife to shave a small bit of plastic from the adapter but this is easily done and will be apparent when you compare the old and new adapters side by side.
I had the same question just a few days ago searched on the internet for it but couldn't find anything about it apart from a tweet from samsung australia which confirmed that sm-r324 should work just fine. So i bought it anyway since it was only 30 euro's for me. That article of Cnet also made me hesitate buying the r324 variant but I've tried it and can confirm that it works just fine. It fits perfectly and does definitly not damage the device. So yes you can buy the r324 variant no need for the r325 version. At least for the normal s9 (not sure about the s9+ but doubt it's any different)
I have a sm-r324 that worked with samsung galaxy s9+ until I upgraded to android 10.
Now, when I plug in the phone Oculus does not start and all that I can see (if I open the app manually) is the picture in which there is the indication to insert the gear vr (but nothing happened).
I have uninstalled all oculus app and service and inserted again the phone into gear, then I heard the sound e installed again all the app suggested (default procedure).
Do you know if there is some trick to make reworking the gear vr or is it better to install again android 9?
Thanks

My bp lab note 8 galaxy watch active

I'm asking for help this app worked note 9 and up. I downloaded the apk. I've got it installed but when It picks up on my watch it says app no longer available. Do I need to side load to watch. Were I have note 8 the watch app store don't even show it. Please any help.
Try this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatc...xy_watch_active_install_my_bp_lab_outside_us/
You also have to download the BP Lab app from the watch.
It seems you need to be in US and using a S9 or S10 for the app to appear in the gear store from the watch, and also to calibrate the watch using the optical sensor of these phone models. But after installing the app in the watch and calibrating it, you can use your watch to measure blood pressure without needing a S9 or S10 any more.

Galaxy Watch 2?

I know there have been rumors that they will be announcing the Galaxy Watch Active 2 at the Unpacked event. I haven't heard if there will be a Galaxy Watch 2. I like the physical ring around the watch and the Active will not have this.
What do you guys know about a Galaxy Watch 2?
Haven't seen anything about GW2 and think the Active 2 is only new Samsung watch...
Yes the New Active 2 as a rotative bezel.
And a smaller battery!

You mean code name renaissance? There was some chatter about the GW2 back in July. Most of the chatter expected it to release with the Galaxy Note 10+, like the GW released along side the Note 9. It's been pretty quiet here lately about the GW2.
So here we are in 2020, anybody think there will be a watch 2 this year? Anybody heard anything yet?

Question Oneplus 9 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi,
Is one of you using the galaxy watch 4 with the oneplus pro 9?
Does the modded Samsung Health Monitor work for you and can you use all features from the watch like ECG and blood pressure testing?

I second this. I have been swapping back and forth between my OnePlus 9 Pro, my Pixel 6 Pro, and my Galaxy Z Fold3.
Make sure you follow the instructions to the letter. If you want to sync Do Not Disturb with your Galaxy Watch4 and a non-Samsung phone, go here: https://github.com/rhaeus/dnd-sync

It can't. I think I read somewhere, that Samsung uses it's own Wireless Power Share system, which is not QI charging compatible.
Just bought a watch 4 yesterday. Randomly the watch4 unpairs with phone (9 pro rooted). Then I have to reset my watch to pair with phone just for it to happen all over again. Suuuuper frustrating. Any Ideas?
NVM. I switched roms and all is Gucci now.

The mystery continues. My 1+8Pro must be cursed then hahaha
I will downgrade to OOS12 (and relock bootloader by the way) to see if one of the two fix that pairing issue
What OOS version are you running please ?
