Phone battery issues with Gear Fit 2

I recently got one of these, and had a couple questions related to battery life.

My phone is a OnePlus One running the latest COS 13.0.1 build (S254) and better life on the phone is significantly degraded since installing the Gear Fit Manager and S Health apps. I have the band set to only sync with S Health manually, and had generally been keeping the band connected via Bluetooth. I have a feeling the always connected via BT is what's killing my phone battery, but was curious as to what others are doing? Do you keep you band connected via BT or do you just rely on the Remote Wi-Fi connectivity? It appears that it only syncs with S Health via BT, so does anyone just connect it via BT once or twice a day to sync and leave it on Wi-Fi the rest of the time?

Just curious for any tips to save the battery on my phone. Battery life on the Fit2 itself has been pretty good so far, lasting a couple of days per charge which certainly meets my needs.

Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated!

[Q] Gear Fit 2 / Moto G 2014 - Gear Manager doesn't find watch on Moto G 2014

Hi guys,
I was trying to get the gear fit 2 working with my moto g (2014) (Android 6 resurrection remix from). The Bluetooth settings can see the watch and pair, but the gear manager doesn't find a 'compatible gear'.
I'm using the gear manager for non Samsung phones.
Anyone with this phone was able to connect? Does anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks!
Christian

Gear Fit black and now syncing health data

Hi.
I have a "little" problem with my Gear Fit.
If i turn it on, and i pair with my phone, everything is working.
But after disconnect, and reconnecting, or after 1-2days, the wallpaper will black, and the health data (steps, pulse, etc.) not syncing, with my S5.
And if i restart the Gear Fit, it loses all data.
Pls help my guys.

Thanks, Oliver.

Samsung 12.2 and Samsung Gear Fit! Great Couple

Works great. You can get notifications directly to your gear fit, and also you could control music player and volume! I really liked.

12.2 is too big sometimes and it's not much portable as the other tablets.

Counting feeds, raitng heart and ect. They are great couple!

Galaxy Gear Kies

I have just purchased my wife a second hand Galaxy gear 1, but it isn't being detected by Kies, I wanted to update to the latest 2.2.1.1 firmware.

When I connect it to ODIN and try to flash V700XXUCOA2 to stops at the first bootloader step, so I'm guessing someone has put a strange bootloader on the device. can anyone help me restore the original bootloader, or talk me through the steps on actually getting this upgraded.

When it stops on the installing the bootlaoder, I have to restart the watch and get the "failed firmware" message, and have to install null_03_TWRP2.7 to get the watch to boot up. (using odin and the AP menu)

Am I doing something very wrong? or is there an underlying issue I need to address first?

Many Thanks.

Gear VR Developer Mode on S7?

So I've been trying for about an hour to enable the Gear VR DEVELOPER Mode on my GS7 with no luck. All instruction I can find tells you do go to Settings > App Manager > Gear VR Service and click on the version. My problem is that I have no "Gear VR Service" in my app manager. I have "Gear VR System" which is the only gear app to give me anow option to manage storage. I have gone and clicked on the version so many times to no avail. I have done the sideload with vr apps with my device signature as well. Any ideas?

How to completely pair a Samsung Galaxy Gear 1 to LG G stylo?

I recently purchased a Samsung Gear 1 from a private seller and was told that I can use it with my LG G Stylo 2. I downloaded what seemed to be a million different things to my phone and all that's working on it is the clock synced with the phone and I can make and receive calls. I would ideally like to use all the functions of the watch rather than having an expensive touch watch just for the time. Can anyone help me figure this out. P.S. I'm not to tech savvy so if you could dumb it down a bit for me that would be great. Lol.

Convert Gear S2 to Gear S2 Classic.

Hey guys.

Just got a Gear s2 and I'm loving all the watch faces I can install to it but I feel that the rotating bezel of the Classic is better and matches most watch faces.

I know I can get an adapter and metal band but it would help If I could replace the standard rotating bezel for the Classic one too.

Do you guys know if it's possible to get and replace the rotating bezel from the Gear S2 to the one of the Gear S2 Classic?

I would be very grateful of your responses.

Thanks.

OnePlus 3 and Gear S2 Issue

Gear S2 Issue: No notifications with my OnePlus 3.

Hi guys, just wanted to check if anyone has the new OnePlus 3 and Gear S2? I couldn't get notifications like local messages and third party messages applications to appear in my watch. I had the LG G5 and everything works with it. I had no issues pairing the S2 and my OnePlus 3. I have tried 3 complete hard reset, re pairing and reflash from Samsung. Only incoming call alerts is working. Help?

New Update Bricked My Gear S2 Classic?

I've updated my (Canadian) Gear S2 Classic's OS a few times in the past without incident, but this time the update appears to have left it in a reboot loop. I get the power-on splash screen and a quick vibration every 4 seconds. I can interrupt it by holding down the power button, then tapping it when "Rebooting..." appears, but the only options in the reboot menu are Continue (no change), Download (stayed stuck there for a few hours, no change) or Power Off. There is no Recovery or Wireless Download option. I installed the new version of the Gear software on my Samsung Note 3 before starting, but it obviously won't connect now. Help!

Gear fit 2 bluetooth audio cuts out

So i got the gear fit 2, and I like it. My main issue is that the bluetooth cuts when streaming music directly from it to my bluetooth headphones. I returned the fit and got another one and the new one does the same. I tried 2 different bluetooth headphones and it does the same with both. Both headphones work fine when streaming from my phone, so I think it's an issue with the gear fits in general. Any suggestions?
