Hi,
Has anybody got S2 successfully connected to Gear 2 watches, or is this lost course? I got to myself Neo couple of days ago. I use CM11 rom and installed latest Gear Manager to it. S2 himself pairs with success, even connects via bluetooth. But with Gear Manager 1.7, I can pair with success, but cannot connect successfully to watch. It's just saying connecting and doing nothing. Tried with version 2.0 of Manager and this one doesn't to anything, just saying error message that "unable to connect to Gear", upgrade software and so on. Samsung officially said what they are doing all to get Gear 2 watches working with all Android phones with 4.3 or newer in near future. But then and how long must we wait only future can tell. I'm really happy with S2 and CM11 rom, is this really so that I need to buy new phone or wait before guys from XDA are cooking working software..
Edit:
Yes, got working! Read Gear 2 thread and got hint to do restart after installation. Now Gear Manager 1.7.031004 / 2.0.14031004 paired and connected successfully. Got punch of errors (several stopped workings while connecting -saprovider.apk and goproviders.apk ), but watch and S2 seem to get along.
please explain your steps
Hi Equ,
I'm stuck with exactly the same problem.
I have a Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and I'm trying to connect it to my GS2 i9100.
Looking for other threads I've found only this one and post there my attempts: [HOW TO]USE Samsung Galaxy Gear with i9100
Could you please explain how you get the solution, which rom and gear manager apk have you used?
Thank you so much,
Flavio.

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 . I have latest CM11 by Markox89 on S2, and Gear Manager is latest available I believe 2.0.14042803, but on first time I used 2.0.14041404. Of course many things don't work with S2, but I used this solution to only pair and to finish watch initialization. Using only pedometer and heartrate monitor for daily usage. No alarmclock or notifications (missing them mostly), sadly, but many thing still working Root access was gained couple of days ago, so now must wait for modders, maybe something more will happen for Galaxy S2 too
Thank you so much.
I'm going to try this procedure and report here my results.
I will also investigate the code of the Gear Manager apk because the I'm quite sure the incompatibility message (device not supported exception) could be not a real issue but only a check in the code.
If this is true changing the result of the check should simplify the installation of the apk without need to modify the original build.prop file which could affect the correct phone functionality.
gear connected with i9100
Here my updates:
I was able to connect the gear with the GS2.
Unfortunately changing the puild.prop file record ro.product.model will affect every rom I've tested, after shout down the device can't start again.
I always needed to restore a previous backup in recovery mode.
Using Phone/GUI Interface method also doesn't work properly because I'm still not able to move the apk inside /system/app folder and this probaly is the reason I can't install S-voice and S-healt app.
However I've installed Gear Manager v2.0 14041404 and all Connecting-Fix pack apps (the only exception is SAWeatherProvider_signed.apk) on my GS2 i9100 with android 4.4.2 SlimKat rom.
Connecting the Gear always generate an error but the paring and connection procedure will complete correctly.
I want to buy gear fit but i am not sure it will work so i wont buy, maybe buy smartwatch i dont know (

How did you manage to get you're watch working with you're s2. I have a sght989d S2 and I have been fiddling with it for the past 3 days trying to get it to connect. I would really appreciate you're input.

I tried to update my P7510 wifi tab using the "About device" ---->"Software update"----->Update button in settings, but for some reason this button is not active; when I touch it nothing happens. It used to work till a few months ago and used to tell me there are no updates available. But for some reason it is not working anymore. I tried to update to ics using Kies but it cannot read the tablet.
I wonder if there is a solution to make the "update" button active again.
I had this problem in my Motorola milestone .......what I did was a factory reset

Thanks for the tip. I actually managed to install ICS on the tablet by following a convoluted semi-procedure that only works some of the times!
I read on some forum (do not remember where as I read a lot of stuff online in many forums to find a solution for this) that the trick to this is to use the wireless connection capability of Kies at the same time that the tablet is connected to the PC via the cable. It took a few trials and errors to get it right, but eventually it worked and although Kies kept saying that nothing is connected to it, it actually somehow somewhere in its program understood that the tablet is indeed connected to Kies via cable and so it gave me the permission to update the firmware and install ICS.
By the way my tablet is not rooted. I think the problem initially happened a few months a go when I uninstalled (or stopped, not sure) the "update" task of android. From then on, the tablet could not connect to its server to see if an update is available.
On a separate note, ICS seems fine to me but the lag in video/live stream issue is not good. I also hope like many others here for Samsung to come up with a fix for this soon.
I'm Fairly New To The Android Concept, And I See Its A Little Bit More To Trying To Jailbreak It Vs.

One click root not working XDA. Someone needs to go back in and put the fix in for ERROR: No partition with identifier "60" exists in the specified PIT
Ive tried everything so far, even uninstalling the phone driver driver to allow samsung driver to reinstall, even manually installed the dev driver. I even tried to use odin3 to install via xda instructions. Odin can detect device if I just plug the phone in but if I put the phone in down load mode and connect, nothing. I checked device mgr and it shows the device in usb connections. WTF, XDA is verizon winning??????
Update:
Well I did discover after all this that I am rooted but I think that s all. When I plugged my phone into the computer Casuals usb showed in the Device Mgr screen instead of Samsung. To confirm I downloaded root checker from the play store and I am rooted via super user. Theres an issue though with putting the phone in download mode and odin detecting.
Update 2
Well it finally just worked and I was able to get odin to detect the phone while in download mode. I am now on root66 !! Help for others: Be persistent, I think it took time for my pc to accept and activate the changes IE: the casual driver replacing the samsung. It literally just happened after about 5 or 6 failed attempts of running the one click root. And it happened after a couple of samsung driver deletions. When the phone was plugged in, I went to device manager on the pc , usb devices and deleted the samsung drivers. I wound up doing this about 3 times. I restarted my computer after this to. Then I plugged the phone in again and there was casual usb controller appearing in device manager, replacing samsung. That was when I discovered I was rooted even though I had gotten the error message that started this post. Later, I went ahead and was able to install root66 by following the xda directions. wow......it was an all day affair but hopefully this will take some of the grey area out for others with this problem.
Thank you XDA for working to [email protected]^! this phone that verizon and google so graciously shoved up our #$% with a warm smile. The wi fi button for the notification bar is not available, I believe this is due to verizon when they put their stink on the phone. I would like to get that back if possible. Also the google search popping up when you plug the headset jack in is still there, but you can go into settings/task mgr/ all aps and scroll down to google search and disable it. The annoying pop up voice search hasnt showed up since I did this.
Hi guys wifi and bluetooth stopped working on my galaxy s4 from verizon. It happened a week after i got android 5.0.1 was working great on 4.4. My phone was never rooted. Any help will be great oh and I'm new here
any help??
You can repair with Kies 3!
Download:
[URL="www.samsung.com/Kies]Samsung Kies 3[/URL]
Once loaded, connect device to PC.
Then select Tools // Upgrade and Initialize
really that will fix my no wifi and no bluetooth issue?
I didthat but under tools there is no option for that
I did as you said but that does not work for me at all any other help? Thank you.
If the repair didn't work....Then the hardware died
it did not give me a option to repair
Here is a video to see how!
This is for Kies 2.6 not 3, but should show you how!

You could also try Odin instead of Kies.
I couldnt get kies to work and have no idea how to work odin I'v e tried maybe some help? Thanks guys.
try reinstalling 5.0.1 over Odin.
http://www.droidviews.com/install-lollipop-on-verizon-galaxy-s4-and-keep-root/
look for the section that says Install Lollipop Firmware on Vzw Galaxy S4 Using Odin.
This should help.
This is usually a hardware issue, when both die.... GOOD LUCK!
Hi,
I just bought a Amazfit Pace today. I tried to connect it to my phone (Huawei P20 Pro) immediately, but to my dismay, I only got "Couldn't Pair" error repeatedly. After some research, I found out that the older firmware have an issue to connect to Android 8.1 or later. Many articles suggested that I should connect the watch to a device running Android 8.0 or earlier, then get the firmware update, and then connect to the new phone.
The problem is, I don't have any device that is running with older Android. Both my LG V20 and Huawei P20 Pro is running on Android 8.1. In that case how can I update the firmware of the watch without connecting to the phone? Is there any way to update via PC?
Must be someone around you with Android phone and older version. Should be easier to convince such person to install the app, update the watch and uninstall than root (avoid warranty) and flash with pc.

It can be done from the computer too, no need to use a second phone. Check Global Huami Amazfit Smartwatches Group on Facebook (link on @1immortal signature ).
use these files for a manual update of the watch from your PC - https://mega.nz/#F!SI1XWSwC!2uYCCJ0e6vweO0LK-fDndA
Thanks guys, I managed to get it updated via old tablet I've kept it in my drawer for so long that I even forgot it. Now I've received the firmware update (1.3.8a) and able to connect to my phone.
now the problem is, once connected to my phone, there is a notification saying that Rom version 2.8.1.0 is available and asking me to update. I clicked update but nothing happened. It's a bit annoying now. Has anyone encountered this issue? I tried to connect my watch to my other phone (LG V20) and also it happened the same. I hope I don't need to go back to my tablet for another firmware update.
you need to wait, the 2.x.x.x update is a full rom, its some 300MB

Yes, from the watch, go to Settings> Connections and connect to Wifi. Then, go to Settings > Update. There it will download the latest version and install.

When I try to connect to Wifi, it asks me to write the password in the app, but the app doesn't show me a field for this. Can you help me please how to connect to Wifi network?
I had some minor annoyances with this too, bought the watch in official store 2 days ago. Just give it couple of tries, on a phone with android 7. You will succeed eventually. As I said, minor annoyance but since I updated it, I enjoy it
What I do see happening now, though, is probably large number of returns from people who don't know a lot about this kind of stuff. Store opened 2 days ago in Croatia, probably set some records, there was a line in front of the store whole day, it would be a shame if many people came back third day with complaints about unusable watches.

Try to un-install and re-install the Amazfit Watch app. You need to be in the ROM version 1.3.8a and pair the watch with the phone. Then, open the app before you do anything. Connect the watch to Wifi. Once the watch asked u to enter Wifi password on the phone, the phone should prompt you to do it.
I am using a Galaxy S9+ running the latest version of SoldierROM (PIE, rooted) and I have been trying to use MirrorLink for a while now but it just refuses to work.
When I connect my phone to my car and choose MirrorLink, a couple of prompts pop-up that I accept and then the certificate fails to download.
I have tried updating to Android 10 and doing that, but the certificate still fails. Is it because I am rooted?
Someone posted about the same issue on XDA, but none of the solutions posted worked for me.
Thanks, guys!

Hi, try this:
Go to the app mirrorlink 1.1 and there to the storage. Here you Clear the data and the cache. Then connect once again your mobile with the car. The should ask for download again new fresh certificates. Not every time it works for every app, but then start again.
Hope it will help!

Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately, I tried that many times without success, so I am assuming it might have to do with my device always being flagged as rooted even when I restore everything to stock.
I have the same phone with the same problem... did you manage to fix it?
Same issue over here. It would be nice to have a fix for this.
Now that Samsung wisely decide to drop support for MirrorLink, is there any work around this?
I have Note 9 and I just bought my frist car. It was jaw droping to see how bad samsung is! I just connect my phone I see certificate download error for MirrorLink 1.1.
