I am unable to connect my Gear S3 Frontier (Bluetooth) to my Gear app on my Galaxy Note 8 phone. After a recent software update, my gear s3 just won't connect to my phone. I manually tried connecting within the app, and it takes forever and ever and say pairing underway and does nothing. It was working fine before this update. Please help.

Why is that necessary? The article I posted a link to, coupled with multiple people on this thread with various different phone models, the issue is clearly not related to something we are doing but an update Samsung made to the Gear app. As a previous poster already wrote, we have tried re-installing the app, clearing cache, resetting the watch etc. No one wants to reset their phone and go through setting it up again, least of all when the issue is not with the phone.
I'm having this same issue with my Gear S3 Frontier. I've uninstalled all 3 apps required (Samsung Gear, Gear S Plugin, and Samsung Accessory Service) as well as "Clear storage" in Android app info. I just got the pairing to crash the Samsung Gear app and submitted the bug report.
Hey guys! Google has recently opened beta-testing for the newest version of the Android Operating System (Android “P”). After thorough testing, Samsung has determined that the Gear Manager software currently is not compatible with the “P” operating system platform. Samsung is currently in the process of developing updates to this software that will address compatibility issues. Please note, we cannot speculate on the date of release for this update.

I figured that might be the case after I got the Android P beta. I've heard the final version may be released August 20th. Hopefully the Samsung developer(s) are able to get the Gear manager working soon. Until then I have a nice time piece!
It was fine until the last beta AND it failed days or more after the last update. I would expect that if it was this then the failure would occur after the last beta update.
My failure happened at the gym, no WiFi, no chance of an update.
If I look back on this thread, it goes back way before the Android P reply. I can only assume uninstall reinstall apps and reset the watch worked for the previous entries.
I will just have faith that they are working on it and won't orphan us.
It would be nice to see them publicly acknowledge this issue on their site.
