Gear S Will Not Connect Through BT

[anon(5719825)]

I have a S7 Edge that I received on Friday. Until today, it had no problem connecting and staying commented to the phone. The only way I can get the watch to connect is to reset the watch and then after a short time, it disconnects again.

I have a Note 5 that I can try and connect to but my main sim is in the S7 Edge as I want to use that as my take with me phone. Anyone have any ideas here? Thanks

I figured out the problem. The S7 Edge is running Marshmallow and the Gear S is not compatible with it.

I've proven this by pairing the watch with my Note 5 running Lollipop and it connects and I can send music and pictures to it. Can't do any of that when paired to the S7 Edge.

well now that's a total bummer since M is starting to roll out to devices.

It's been working great with my S7 Edge once again. I'm not sure what happened. I just can't seem to send any music or pictures to the watch on the S7 Edge. I can if I pair with a Note 5 on Lollipop which makes me believe that this is now a Marshmallow problem.

Samsung is quietly pushing out a firmware update to the S that fixes the issues with Marshmallow. There's another thread about some getting the update already. Only information I've been able to find is Sprint and Verizon have already started pushing theirs out. No word yet on when AT&T and T-Mobile versions will start seeing the update.

Thanks. Mine is T-Mobile.
