Alright guys, I know a lot of you smart guys already have your Gear 2 like this but I was unable to find very many Gear 2 and non-android phone videos on YouTube so I made one. This is fully stock Gear 2 working with LG Optimus L70 from AIO/New Cricket.

Everything works. I even changed the S-Voice voice to use the Google Now voice. Watch the entire video if you are wondering how. (Not a tutorial just demo)

How did you get S-voice to send a text? I followed the same steps, but my S-Voice say messaging is not supported on this device. What stock app are you using on your phone?

The forum here can be overwhelming. This article helped me initially get the Gear 2 to work with my LG.

I just followed the directions and S-Video just worked.

I followed the same instructions also, but unable to tell it to send a text message like you did at the end of your video. I've got an LG G2, so I can't imagine our phones are that far apart from one another. When I tell it to send a text message, it say my device is not supported..

Yeah I don't think the differences are very big between the two devices. It is weird yours doesn't work.

S-Voice on my LG isn't flawless. It doesn't know when to stop listening. I have to manually tap the mic to make it stop.

By the way I am using Gear 2 model SM-R380 with software version R3AF201CZ3N

I made a YouTube video showing how I got the Gear 2 working with non-Galaxy

http://youtu.be/Yp5H4UAWSTk

I still have to retrace my steps on how I got the Google Now voice, once I figure it out I will make a video showing how to do it. I had integrated Google Now prior to getting the Gear 2 so when I set it all up, it just worked without me doing anything in particular.

Can you test the exercise for me

Can you see if the Run and Bike part work with a non samsung phone. It uses the GPS from the phone. I run and bike a lot and need this feature.

I ordered an LG G3 from overseas but its a deal breaker if I cannot get the GPS part working with the exercises.

Query

When you say non-galaxy devices do you mean devices that are still running android 4.3+ with touch wiz, or will this work with custom roms?
Thanks, Shaun

Why do they always say non samsung device when most of us just want to use our note 3 on AOSP rom . Wouldn't it be better to say non touch wiz. Also will this work on android 4.4.4?
