Hi thanks for your video. I've done the reset and want to know how I can transfer media to my gear S? Also if I did revert back to using a Samsung handset would I need to reset the watch (and how would this be done-same procedure etc?) in order to use the gear s app? Cheers...
Hi fantastic information, keep up the good work, Do I need the same sim carrier in my note 5 as the phone as currently I have virgin mobile on my note 5 and EE in my watch. But can't get the watch/phone to forward calls etc Thanks in advance.
Hi, great Gear S video's, very helpfull. Hope you can help me out with my problem. I bought the S during my holiday in the US and lives in the Netherlands. The salesman said that the S is fully compatible for use here. Everything works except my dual simcard. My local providor checked that we use the same network and the S is not locked because it asks my pincode when I insert the sim. Samsung support US also checked that the S should have no limitations. But when I activated the mobile network I get the message "network unavaible. Out of service area". Both Support desk do not understand why it does not work. Do you have any idea? And how to solve it.... Thanks
I have a Gear S with no sim card slot on the back. I'm able to use the Bluetooth and remote connectivity with no issues. My concern is can I use the smartwatch with a non carrier as a standalone phone. It's a Verizon smartwatch in which I ordered from Amazon. Thanks for any help you may have.
HELP!!!! I lost my note 3 which was connected to my gear s couple of months ago and just turned on my gear again but its asking me for a pin! I don't remember setting up a pin. Can u help me! Thank you.
beings though it's unlocked and you have no data plan basically a sim card the watch can still make calls and texts (bluetooth)wise? so will it update like regular samsung phones, laptop's etc. will the live weather app work on background
so all i want is a watch and a phone that can call and txt. i don't do anything else with my phone now. i have hearing aids so blue tooth to pair to them is a must so i can hear the phone. can this watch do this. does it have its own phone # i do not want another phone just the watch and a verizon plan is this possible
Can you unlock it so any sim card will work and then install the gear manager after so it communicates via Bluetooth with a samsung phone as it was intended? In other words, does unlocking it to use with any sim mean you cant install the gear app?
Hi! I was just gifted the gear S but it's for Verizon. I have T-Mobile. I want to use it for bluetooth only. I can make calls from it but do not receive text messages. How can I fix this or is it even possible? PLEASE help!
Hi. I got my gear S from ebay and i was surprised to see it locked while seller claimed it is unlocked. I know the IMEI now but not sure to which network it is locked to. What should I do
hello im stuck at 1.49 screen, i tap and it does nothing, im affraid to do a hard reset because i dont have the pincode, can you help me please asap, is the pincode standard for every watch?
mohd nazri You if you want the call, messaging, remote connections and call forwarding then you need to get a sim card for the for Gear S and have it added to your plan. I made a video explaining it further here - ruclips.net/video/-pAeLZxOuqk/видео.html
My Gear S started up in German. I unlocked it by doing the 25ish taps and then holding the picture for a few seconds, but I can't tell how to get to settings to do a factory reset. How can I get it to English?! Any help is greatly appreciated!
Wyndi Gaskin Well since they do run off the ATT towers, theoretically it should be compatible as long as there is a compatible sim card that will fit into the watch and the carriers have a plan for it like the other carriers do.
Septimus Prime You can either transfer your number to the new sim card to just solely use the Gear S, but I don't reccomend doing that though. When you register the Gear S with a new sim card you do get a new number. Does that answer your question?
***** Here are the instructions from smasung:Hard Reset If you forget your PIN, you can perform a hard reset. Turn off your Gear S. Press and hold the Power key. When the Select REBOOT MODE screen displays, press the Power key until Recovery is highlighted. The Gear S will reset.
hey,if i want to use web on gear s do i still need to buy data plan or could i just use the wifi ?buying data plan is important or not? iam willing to buy gear s ,but i have this problem unsolved
now, one more thing, if you unlock the gear S , can you still do the forwarding calls from note 4 to gear S? i have a data plan for the gear S from TMobile. do I have to unlock it to use it by itself with its own separate phone number? once again , thanks for the great insight
Adrian O WAIT Hold your horses!!! haha. If you are planning to pair the Gear S with a Note 4, like me, then you can completely ignore this video and anything dealing with unlocking haha. You can just set it up normally through the use of the gear app manager. This video was for those individuals who wanted to use the watch with no other phone or pairing the gear s with a non Samsung Phone. You will be fine with all the out of the box functions :). Here is my full guide video I made to set up call forwarding:@watch?v=-pAeLZxOuqk&list=PLnt5poeQK0CzYlebCRc3iiPSDCKfLoBPb&index=8 I hope this helps.
Adrian O Hahaha don't worry your fine. Just follow the first instructions again to factory reset it, and then ignore the "tap the icon 25-35 times" step, and instead download the Gear Manager on your phone to begin the process normally. :)
isn't there a way to put android on the watch instead if tizen OE whatever its called I'd you could do that then wouldn't the watch be completely functional more or less meaning you could download apps from the play store then and you would be able to do everything else like calls text n what not already it seems you figured out in this video I'm asking because I have a droid turbo and I can get this watch brand new from somebody I know for a hundred bucks which is a super great deal which is why I am asking these questions cuz I would love to have a smartwatch and this one only works with Samsung but I have a droid turbo and do not plan on buying a $700 Samsung phone just to get the watch to work
Leslie Hough Are you trying to set it up with out a phone? So you are trying to use a ATT Gear S on the Tmoible network? If so, did you a get a T-Mobile sim card for the Gear S?
This can be one of 2 issues at this point then. 1. T-mobile did not set up your nano sim car properly, like not setting it up with the proper phone plan. You should have received a new number for the sim card. 2. You may need to set the phone up with a samsung phone or at leaset with someone who has a samsung phone.
Can I just borrow a friends samsung phone to install/setup some apps on my galaxy gear s? Or will it mess with thier apps on their phone? Or will it try to send me thier facebookupdates?
catch262 You can, I have had some people do it that way. All you need to do is to make sure the gear app on their device has the notifications turned off or they could out right just delete the Gear app when your finished.
Snow Wraith Oh no, as it will function normally, and if you want to get text and calls just make sure that you have an active sim card in it. You just won't be able to update the OS and apps without the phone.
Finally, straight answers. Thank you so much !!!
Thankyou,,, thankyou, thankyou ,thankyou an did I say thankyou. Been online for hours! You rock!
Very useful :) have a gear 2 the S looks so nice! Once again awesome video mate
+Daniel Keane Thanks Daniel, much appretiated as always mate ;)
LPX Studios | AndrewH great video..out of all the features the gear S has..a micro sdcard is really needed too.
babiboib7 Yes, I totally agree. I wish I had more space on mine. Hopefully they will add it to the next version or at least more memory.
LPX Studios | AndrewH I agree. That would be awesome if they would.
Great tutorial, thanks for making it! I did give thumbs up and subscribed. By the way is the Samsung Gear 2 also a standalone watch?
I live in a different country,so I want to confirm this works the same.I live in Malaysia.
Snow Wraith This function should be universal with all the Gear S devices.
Thanks.
Very useful video. It worked perfectly. Thanks a lot
Hi thanks for your video. I've done the reset and want to know how I can transfer media to my gear S? Also if I did revert back to using a Samsung handset would I need to reset the watch (and how would this be done-same procedure etc?) in order to use the gear s app? Cheers...

do you have sprint for your carrier? if not, will unlocking the watch allow it to work with my S6 (sprint cdma android)?
so, thus step allows the watch to be unlocked? that way I can put any sim card in it?
thanks man... it works...
Rohit Vaidya No problem. I am glad that I was able to help.

Jay cee I apologize, I am unfamiliar with that app.
Not sure if this question is asked but if I unlock this watch, Will I be able to use it for any carrier? Att, tmobile...etc
hi. Will it unlock my device also. I mean if i use a non standard SIM from another operator of another country, will it ask for the network lock code?
so all i want is a watch and a phone that can call and txt. i don't do anything else with my phone now. i have hearing aids so blue tooth to pair to them is a must so i can hear the phone. can this watch do this. does it have its own phone # i do not want another phone just the watch and a verizon plan is this possible
Thank you .
Are you 100% sure that it will work, because I am planning on buying one but I don't have a samsung phone.

Question, can this watch be used with the walmart family plan, or straight talk, net 10 services or only with services with contract
Wyndi Gaskin Well since they do run off the ATT towers, theoretically it should be compatible as long as there is a compatible sim card that will fit into the watch and the carriers have a plan for it like the other carriers do.
LPX Tech Can I used my own # now as I couldn't do it before?
Septimus Prime You can either transfer your number to the new sim card to just solely use the Gear S, but I don't reccomend doing that though. When you register the Gear S with a new sim card you do get a new number. Does that answer your question?
LPX Tech Its local, right? One last question, does it work with AT&T Gophone accounts?
Hi I have a question I'm trying to pass my music I have in my Google play list to my gear s any idea how I can transfer the music with out a computer
ulises torres This link should help you out :)
support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1233029?hl=en
You have to download the gear app to you phone and then look for music transfer and that will transfer the music from your phone to your watch

***** Which carrier do you have it under? When does the pin code message appear for you. ?
***** it looks like this individual found the unlock code in his videos - ruclips.net/video/-hS6coum9X8/видео.html
LPX Tech no I don't need a unlock code !!!I need to reboot it to remove the pin!!
***** Here are the instructions from smasung:Hard Reset If you forget your PIN, you can perform a hard reset.
Turn off your Gear S.
Press and hold the
Power key.
When the Select REBOOT MODE screen displays, press the Power key until Recovery is highlighted. The Gear S will reset.

Can we call from gear s without mobile

Adrian O WAIT Hold your horses!!! haha. If you are planning to pair the Gear S with a Note 4, like me, then you can completely ignore this video and anything dealing with unlocking haha.

Adrian O @watch?v=-pAeLZxOuqk&index=8&list=PLnt5poeQK0CzYlebCRc3iiPSDCKfLoBPb Sorry that link I pasted may not have worked. I hope this helps.
Thanks a lot.... I forgot to hold my horses. I just unlocked it.
Please tell me that I did not mess it up.
Adrian O Hahaha don't worry your fine. Just follow the first instructions again to factory reset it, and then ignore the "tap the icon 25-35 times" step, and instead download the Gear Manager on your phone to begin the process normally. :)
Adrian O I am very glad you messaged me. Let me know if you got it to set up properly.
how can i use all the apps in the standalone mode?
HyperGen You just got to make sure that you install them using a compatible Samsung phone.
ok
isn't there a way to put android on the watch instead if tizen OE whatever its called I'd you could do that then wouldn't the watch be completely functional more or less meaning you could download apps from the play store then and you would be able to do everything else like calls text n what not already it seems you figured out in this video I'm asking because I have a droid turbo and I can get this watch brand new from somebody I know for a hundred bucks which is a super great deal which is why I am asking these questions cuz I would love to have a smartwatch and this one only works with Samsung but I have a droid turbo and do not plan on buying a $700 Samsung phone just to get the watch to work

Leslie Hough Are you trying to set it up with out a phone? So you are trying to use a ATT Gear S on the Tmoible network? If so, did you a get a T-Mobile sim card for the Gear S?
Yes I put the Sim card in. Still not working

Can this last long?
Snow Wraith Are you asking about battery life?
LPX Tech No,I ask is the one, not using a Samsung device to get into it.Can the gear S one day suddenly log out or something?
Snow Wraith Oh no, as it will function normally, and if you want to get text and calls just make sure that you have an active sim card in it. You just won't be able to update the OS and apps without the phone.
What about the gear fit?
