Thanks so much...I just got mine from Best Buy today and was tinkering with it..then entered a PIN to unlock the watch. Then I tried putting my PIN but it wouldn't unlock the watch. Your video is really helpful.
Thanks you dude!I had forgotten password and i was depressed but i found your video.I did everything that you said in video and its helped,so i will cheat on exam.
For days I have been trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with my watch as it losing so much power. I was about to spend $325 on a new one!!! But the instructions given above totally handled the power loss situation. I'm very grateful for the clear and precise steps - which worked as stated!!!!
I'm very very very very thxxxxxxxxxxx!!! The password problem trouble me for a whole year! While I was searching how to destroy the watch and finally I find the solution! Thx!
thank you so much! had set my watch on screen reader and by trying to fixed that I also added the stress of a dark screen. It was a total nightmare. thank you for this video, got it reset. no more dark screen and screen reader. two worst combination.
You need to hold the Home key after selecting the Recovery option until "rebooting" appears again on the screen. www.samsung.com/ca/support/mobile-devices/gear-s2-how-do-i-reset-my-samsung-gear-s2/
So I just got this watch on eBay and all my watch does is say Samsung Gear S2 and won’t power on. Anyone know why? The seller says he factory reset it and that it was working fine before
Mine still won't get past pairing screen it's the square s2 haven't used it so long there was a way to use it without app no app pairs with it help pls can't remember
Will this disable the reactivation lock? I have paired my Gear S2 w/ my Note 5 and enabled reactivation lock. Yesterday, my Note 5 died. I have sent it to Samsung's service center and they will most probably factory reset my phone. I asked the customer representative, who assisted me, about how to disable the reactivation lock on my Gear S2 so that I can use it w/ my other phone but he couldn't help me. All he said was to wait for my Note 5 and that it should pair with my watch again. I'm not so sure about his answer. Hopefully he's right. I also sent an email to Samsung stating my problem and I got a very generic response about how to reboot my phone by removing the battery, etc... (Seriously Samsung?!) I really hope the customer representative is right; that my Note 5 will be able to connect w/ my Gear S2 even after a factory reset.
Hello when my gear s2 I do hard reset only gives me the options of (shutdown, download and continue and only appears the logo of gear s2 and only remains.
I know this is a fairly old video, but do you know if this resets the firmware on the watch? I updated the firmware and now the battery life is shit and it overheats.
I did it. But after all the rebooting process, the lock screen appears again, so I still need the original samsung account to pair the gear s2. Is there something else to do that is not in the video?
