TAB S2 and Gear S2

[kms108]

I was told that the gear S2 is not compatible with the Tab S2, has anyone tested it, and can confirm this is true.

Update.

I have tested this and can confirm it does not work, not sure of the reason behind it.

That's odd... my gear live works just fine with it... I'm curious though why you would want it synced to your tablet and not your phone though?

I have Galaxy Tab S2 LTE and it's not compatible. Main issue is the Gear Manager app cannot load.

I have the international Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T815) with voice capability, and it really irritates me that the Gear S2 is incompatible with it. It would be nice to use the watch and tablet together, instead of needing a phone simply to install Gear Manager. I suppose you can sideload the Gear Manager apk on the tablet, but it's inconvenient.

Side upload is not possible, it won't detect the watch, I have tried it at the samsung shop.
I had a S4 mini at that time with android 4.2 which you need 4.3 and above to work, thats why I tried to pair it with the tablet (Tab S2 SM-T715), now I have a V10 which should work, just waiting for the rose gold version of the classic, since the 3G version isn't available in my country.

Yep Gear Manager - typical Samsung stupidity.

Now it's possible with samsung flow

Just need to change the device fingerprint, it should be fine.

MagiskHide Props Config v4.0.2 <-- Use that, switch your device to something that is compatible, install the required app. You may have to wipe cache / data to the play store, first.
