[Useful TIP] GPS sharing location BUG (Gear Manager) topic

SOCIALIZE IT ⇨

Hi all.
I don't know If you all know this, but I found a very big bug (or mistake) from Samsung.
I was a bit concerned about being stolen,robbed, or simply forget where the watch is.
So I looked up an app to locate Gear S by its GPS on mobile (mine is Galaxy S5) , and I have found nothing.
(apps like Cerberus, "find my mobile" from Samsung, etc... for Gear S)
So I tried Gear Manager app.
There's "Find my gear" option, you can find the watch If it is bluetooth thetered.
On "Find my gear" menu, you can see "Turn On Share Location".
To turn it on, you need to enable GPS on your mobile. Once it's done, you can use "Locate Gear" and you'll have Gear S location address on your mobile (great!).
This feature also works when Gear is not bluetooth thetered but connected remotely (both devices connected to the intenet (it's not need same network, I tried 4G on mobile and WiFi on Gear and it works).
That's very nice and important, because in case of not being bluetooth paired you can still find your watch, or at least, the address where it is.
You can also disable internet on both devices and they will be connected remotely again If you enable internet on them.
You can also turn off both devices and turn them on later and they will be connected remotely again by internet and "Share Location" will keep working.


The BUG:
You can disable GPS on your mobile, but do not open Gear Manager. If you do it, "Locate Gear" will be greyed, and you will lose the "Share location".
To "Turn On Share Location" again you must be bluetooth paired! But what If I can't find my watch to do it!
This is a software bug, because you can turn your mobile off (GPS will be off, of course), turn Gear S off, you turn both of them on again, they are connected remotely and "Share Location" will be working SINCE you enable GPS on your mobile before opening Gear Manager app.

So, this is my tip: DO NOT EVER open Gear Manager without enabling GPS before If you want to keep "share location" feature working.

I believe I'm not the only one with this bug.
My S5 (G900M) is running ZTO OC4 (5.0), Gear Manager version: 2.2.15022599.
R750B - ZTO - OA9.

If anyone knows an app else to locate our Gear S using GPS?

Let me know If you have this bug too...
Thanks.
