Does anyone have a Gear S/LG G4 connection?

[Ntchwaidumela]

Have any of you Gear S owners paired up with an LG G4 yet? I'm seriously considering switching from my Note 4 to the LG G4, and I'm curious as to how well they work together.

 

[B. Diddy]

I thought the Gear S was only compatible with Samsung phones.

 

[Ntchwaidumela]

That's why I was asking if anyone had tried to pair the two. I thought so too, but wasn't sure if it would work with the LG.

There is a thread from several months ago about how to force a paring with a different brand android phone. I think someone made a video on it.

There are videos on YouTube... Limits your functions on the watch a lot.

Here is a video http://youtu.be/VrXwHh7EVnI

I own a Gear S and just purchased an LG G4 I think ive isolated the code that causes the Gear Manager setup process to fail. I don't know much about debugging software but im determined to figure it out. Here is the code I think is responsible.

Anybody figure this out?

 

[Jeremy Weyrauch]

Thank you very much for this thread. My Edge 6+ just overheats and kind of sucks and my wife is underwhelmed with her Note 5. I fell in love with the LG V10. It's slick. The problem is that both my wife and I have a Gear S... We have an old Note 2 which I imagine I can pair with our Gear S to update and change things up, but that won't solve getting notifications on our watches using the LG V10.

The whole reason we got the watches is for the instant notifications.

Any help you all can provide with using Gear S and LG together is appreciated.

I am about to be in the same boat as you and your wife... I suffer and wait for the LG Urbane 2nd edition to drop. :'(

 

[Hefner413]

I just got the urbane 1st edition. It's awesome. I'm not going to miss my Gear S!!

 

[foxbat121]

Urban 2nd Edition LTE (Android Wear) is about to be released this week on AT&T. That is the true Gear S replacement. 1st Edition either doesn't have cell radio or runs Web OS on the LTE version.

 

[Jeremy Weyrauch]

Still round face watch though. I thought it would resemble the Gear S

 

[foxbat121]

I'm not too worried about round face. But the lack of app support for any proprietary OS (Tizen or WebOS) is my major concern. To get decent Google services on the watch, it must run Android Wear. It is the future even though AW is till lacking right now. Adding cell radio support (in LG Urban 2nd Edition LTE) is a big step forward for AW

I have had an LG G4 for about 6 month and have tried many times and different patches to get it to work with my Gear 2, but now luck. I had it paired to my Samsung S5, but am going to trade it in so I paired it with an old S3. I can get email updates via Wi-Fi as long as I have it with me and it's on. Looking to trade Gear 2 in and get something that works with G4. If I waited I might have gotten the Note 5. I like my Gear 2 though.

hi
i connected my G4 to Gear S2 but caller just worked and another notification same as SMS , Telegram & ... didn't work .
i connect to samsung service and they told me you can not use gear S2 by Lg G4. it was very bad news.

 

[Raymond Czaja]

I have read all of the threads. There are mentions of other watches. I bought a moto 360 sport for that purpose. It pairs well with my lg g4 with no missing functionality. Only complaint with the moto is a lack of a speaker non my Sport. Although it pairs well with wireless headphones and does have a mike. Notifications are great. As well as HR monitor and step monitor. 4 his of memory and GPS are also plus. Works without carrying your phone, as well.
