So i wanna buy a smartwatch and i liked sony smartwatch 3. But i have samsung galaxy note 3. But the salesman told me that in sony smartwatch, the apps of samsung won't work and plus it won't be able to recieve call on sony smartwatch 3 using note 3 or any other samsung phone! So tell me. Did anyone try it on samsung? Will it work fine on samsung phone?
No reply?
You will be fine. The only requirement of Android wear I believe is Android 4.3 and above. If you're running that, you're good. Don't believe that guy. Probably just trying to sell you on the gear watches. I have a note 4 and Sony smartwatch 3.

He is only correct about the making phone calls part. You can do that with the sw3 and your phone. However, you still need your phone. Samsung has the only watch that allows you to make calls without a phone.
All the rest is completely false.

Well I was thinking about getting this Sony Smartwatch for use with the Galaxy Note (International version).
Any tips/suggestions to if it is good or not?
Also does the watch itself have a speaker? (either for the hour beeps or just playing music.)

depends on what you plan to do with it. the sony smartwatch MN2 isnt too bad. it has a lot of features i'd probably use. the only thing i didnt like about it is that it cant do much of anything unless it is bluetooth sync'd to a phone. heck, the clock function wont even work unless its sync'd to a phone, which seems kinda pathetic to me for a device that has 'watch' in its name. just for that reason alone, i'd probably choose a pebble or motoactv.
The watch actualy keeps time even if/after bluetooth disconnected. It just needs an initial sync to give it the right time in the first place.
Use search or look further down this exact forum to see a longer thread about this watch.

Thats good to know because its definitely not true of the LiveView and the main thing that stops me from using it on a day to day basis.
have ordered Sony SmartWatch, will get it in some days, anyone using it with note please share your experience and any tips. Also if there is any other thread with more info please provide link.

My Liveview keeps time ok when it loses connection
Hey guys,
Just went to a major whse and bought the Galaxy Tab s. Looking over the specs I noticed it can mirror my Galaxy Note 3 via sidesync to send and receive calls. However one can't talk THROUGH the Tab s? I just talked to two live chat support and they said you can't. Both are bluetooth paired, sydsynced, both have microphones and speakers. All set up to be able to talk through the Tab s right? Nyet. no. Yet, my $80 dumb car stereo with bluetooth can and the sound comes through the speaker so why can't this whizz bang tablet? What am I doing wrong and missing?
Thanks for any hep.
I've searched google for w while now and I found ONE thread about downloading something onto my computer then onto the tablet after rooting but I'm not that technical. I'm three hours into the search and nothing. So either I'm asking the google the wrong question or a solution isn't there?
Yeah, call through secondary device, everybody wants, but AFAIK not solution around. Bummer.
I became so disappointed as you when I realized I couldn't speak and hear through tab when picking calls from note 3.
The solution we expect will require a BT phone in range with note 3. That is pretty redundant because tab has a BT phone built in as you said.
Sidesync is nice but is fresh and there is a lot of room for features and improvements on its next versions.
sydesinc for now acts just like a windows RDC and can't be used if you're tethering data from secondary device. it is nice but it's not enough.

Thanks guys just my luck. This is NOT what was advertised or rather a slick omittance and half truth in their advertisement. Even a gent from a major electronic magazine at the CES show stated after sydsyncing his phone "will be able to talk through the device and mirror your phone". Then went on to drag and drop a pic of his mirrored phone onto the Tab. I thought cool finally! So much for research.
It amazes me they went 9/10th of the way but thought it not useful to go that extra tenth to make it be a pass though device for calls.
Again, thank you for your answers.:good: Going back today to return it.

Sad to say that is the case. It does work with S5 however. Did you update your software? I am wondering if that would take care of it. Not sure why it would with S 5 and not Note.

So you confirm you can make a call on S5 (actually pressing it on tab) through sidesync and speak on the mic of te tab?
can we bridge calls through devices or not? I just could't figure how.

I was able to tether the entire call through my galaxy tab S via sidesync using my galaxy S4, however I can't tell if it works with my new Note 4. I called my partner while I was at home and they were at work, using sidesync, with my S4 in the next room on the charger, however I had it connected via wifi and bluetooth.
As far as i know,it only works with S5.
In a few days i have my Tab S 10.5 lte and that's the reason i will change my Note 3 into an S5.
So I got the Sony Smartwatch 2 a while ago and its amazing.
It's the only smartwatch I have seen that you can text on. That's right it was a wee bit laggy but it worked my watch screen turned into a keypad where you can create the letters required to send a text. I loved this at work where you are not allowed to have your phone on you I could have it hidden away in my pocket and text off my smartwatch.
Sadly I changed from my battery eating Samsung galaxy S2. I was lucky if the battery would last me a day, over to my Iphone 4S which last a bit longer than a day.
Sadly the Sony Smartwatch 2 doesn't work for Iphone.
I am hoping everyday that someone makes this possible with a modified firmware. If that even is possible.
I miss the awesome potential of this watch.
It is NOT possible. You have to buy another watch.
potential workaround
Hi. I ran into this article. I cannot check if this is work or not as I dont have this watch.

it is about "Android Wear" (Sony SW3) not owner Sony OS SW2
SO it's been awhile since i bought a new HTC but after finding out yesterday that T- Mobile will be releasing it on wednesday the 18th i was a happy camper , then i remembered that my Galaxy Gear S2 watch 4G is not compatable with my One plus X , So i figured i would call HTC Support and ask if the new phone will work with my new 4G watch
and i am sad to say that i was told it will not work , that it's not even a software issue but a hardware issue as well, was really looking forward to buying this Phone if anyone has any positive input it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

My gear s2 is working perfect with my htc 10
My S2 and HTC 10 work but I can't get notifications on text messages or gmail or FB or been able to download Android Pay. Anything you would recommend?
I'm actually having issues getting my gear fit 2 paired
My Fitbit Surge will not pair with my HTC 10. Called Fitbit Tech support and told they're reviewing the issue.
Told to check back later. Called back a month later and told there's still no solution. Understand that the same issue affects the Samsung Galaxy S7. Anyone have recent information about this matter?

Had issues pairing a few Bluetooth devices. Guess the is the 10s wreak spot.
Called Fitbit Tech Support again today, Sept. 18th, and got the same answer as before.

I have my gear s2 paired just fine. Below is what I would suggest:
1) delete your gear s2 from Bluetooth settings on your phone and make sure the gear s2 is factory reset.
2) open play store and download Samsung Gear, Samsung accessory service, S health, and Gear Plugin.
3) open Samsung Gear and pair normally.
If you are missing any of those apps, it will not work properly.
Have no problems with my HTC10 and Samsung Gear Fit2 combo. Most important thing is to factory reset the gear before pairing!
Get the same performance and notifications as with my former daily the Note4
Every time I make a call or receive a call the watch takes over the call via Bluetooth. It's super annoying and can't seem to figure this out. Any ideas?

I experience the same problems. I wonder if someone has figured this out already?
Subsequently I experience the problem that my gear loses its bluetooth connection for approx. 5 seconds when my HTC 10 goes into standby. I wonder if there's a fix for this problem as well...
Anyone using these 2 together? Had zero issues with my n5, but with this phone my watch rings even if it's set to vibrate. Kinda spoils the point of vibrate.

I am having the same issue. Gear s2 3g. Really annoying. Hope this gets fixed. The only way it doesn't ring is if you put it on silent. But you also don't get any vibrations.
I am running my note 7 with my gear s2 3g and I'm not having those problems. Mine is working just fine.
I'm running mine with the Gear s2 classic 3g, and it works just fine
Samsung suggested a hard reset on the gear s2. When I swapped phones, my gear suggested a light reset. Did y'all who aren't having issues do a hard reset? Also what options do y'all have under bluetooth on your phone for the gear? Just audio?

Everything you said. Plus, I can no longer purchase any watch faces. Able to buy on my Note 5. Did a factory reset, etc. Called Samsung 3 separate times and got nowhere. VZW says to call Samsung. Can I not give these people my money??
Seriously annoyed tho. I just bought the S2 Classic the Monday before getting my N7. Only had a chance to buy two faces from the N5. If I switch back to the N5, I can spend all my money, lol.

Did you do a full hard reset on your watch?

I did. A few times. And then again, each time before switching back & forth between the Notes 5 & 7.
Have any of you who have previously had the watch paired with a different device, try to purchase any watch faces since the Note 7?
I've had no issues with watch faces. That's interesting.
