Samsung gear s3 standalone mode.

Standalone mode means that you have no connections to another device or the internet. The gear s3 requires a companion phone for certain options e g software updates email etc. Both when indoors on wi fi outside on 4g. I keep getting alerted to my gear s3 frontier going into standalone mode.

The samsung gear s3 comes with a wireless charging dock usb c cable and usb outlet adaptor. Weird thing is i m not out of range from my s8 when this is happening. Ensure the gear s3 is charged and powered on. You ll see rangefinder distances and club recommendations right on the watch.

Secondly i confirmed with one of the samsung support tech there a lady before buying it if it was compatible with my phone and she said yes. Being on standalone mode defeats the purpose of a smartwatch. Really strange issue starting happening today. Only started happening after update for gear app applied yester.

2 download the samsung gear app you can pair the samsung gear with any smartphone that runs android 4 4 or higher. Standalone mode for samsung starting with golf pad version 15 0 you can use your newer samsung gps equipped smartwatch even when you don t carry the phone in your pocket. In this state consider your gear s2 to only have the functions available on the watch itself so no sms emails or anything else that needs an internet or network connection. Simply plug the usb c cable into the adapter and charging dock plug the adapter into an outlet and place the watch on the dock.

Simply start the round on the phone and put it away.
