Comments on Gear IconX (2018) Plugin for Android

★★★★☆ V S · Dec 15, 2025

This is workaround that works on Samsung phones with Android 14/15. Find on Internet and sideload older APK for Samsung Wearable circa 2022 such as version 2.2.49 or so. DO NOT OPEN THE WEAR APP YET. Download and side load latest IconX 2018 APK - this one. Turn off any access to Internet on your mobile device - Wi-Fi, Mobile networks, etc. Turn on BT and run the wear app, it should pair and connect to IconX just fine. Turn on Internet back on. Update the Wear app to the latest on Google Play.

I hate the training thing, no way to disable the annoying voice and if I click by accident it starts the training routine... I don't use the buds for training, why can't this feature be disabled it's utterly annoying... the buds where free with the phone, but I will never buy this brand... so unintuitive

I can't open the application I downloaded but the open button not there and it's not found on my device ?? My phone is Oppof9

Terrible earphones. One side is louder than the other. They disconnect often. I will never buy Samsung earphones again. I trusted this product, not anymore. The sound quality is terrible. Way too expensive for the poor quality.

★☆☆☆☆ Emily Bellaver · Jun 24, 2020

Worst headphones EVER!!!! Constantly disconnected, registers touch commands out of nowhere, and one bud is so much louder than the other that it doesn't make sense to use both. Please make better products, especially when the price tag is as outrageous as this.

★☆☆☆☆ Marcus Guild · Jul 23, 2020

Having continual issues with my buds disconnecting while on calls (conference calls at work all the time) or switching to my watch or back to my phone over and over. I've had to turn my watch off during work hours because even when I disconnect, it will spontaneously reconnect during my call. Good sound, ok battery time. But this continual dropped call issue is a dealbreaker for me as this is my main work device. I am tired of apologizing for not catching parts of conversations.
