Hi everyone, I've just installed android lollipop in my nexus 5 and when I try to launch gear fit manager it crashes... It is a big problem for me because I can't use my gear fit with my phone. The app fitness with gear works properly instead... Does anyone know how to run gear fit manager in android 5.0?
Thanks!!

Same problem here!
Lollipop is coming to the S5 within the next two months as per Samsung. I strongly believe they will also update Gear Manager at that time too if not sooner.
we're still waiting...

Yeah.
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, the expensive wrist thing you talk about, is made by Samsung, for Samsung devices, of which none have lollipop yet
last version of gear fit manager

I agree now that it's out in poland how do we contact one of them to extract it
subbed, as I just picked one up and it's just a paper weight since I'm on lollipop. I'm too lazy to go back to 4.4 then back to lollipop once the update comes out. if there is anyone out there with the update extract that chit!!

Just download the s5 lollipop firmware, I'm sure sammobile.com has it by now. unzip the file and grab the apk out of the system files
Sent from my Nexus 6
What do you think about that ? It's the v 1.49 which had been modified ...
Is it a good idea to use an app not modified by Samsung ?
I can't post the link because I'm a new member. Search "Gear Fit manager lollipop" on Google and click on the result from the website bloglovin.com
Worked great for me...Nexus 5 BTW http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/post/5233323/3879746383

OK edit to above..it connects and I get call notifications but can't seem to get email or hangouts notifications.
I've read somewhere that Gear S need the latest Samsung Phone to setup for it even to run. If that's true, it's a let down.
Was looking forward to use it as a stand alone backup phone. If you don't own the latest Samsung Phone, will it function as a standalone phone for call and sms?
Maybe only for initialize and to get a Tizen app?

I certainly hope so. I know there are a number of lucky one who got the watch prior to launch. If they could confirm, it would be greatly appreciated.
Don't want to end up buying a non functioning phone just because I did not own a Samsung phone.

I think you need a Samsung phone with the Gear Manager App to get it started and for future updates. But after that i think you can use as a stand alone phone. you can check out some youtube vids for more info. I dont think anyone has purchased the device yet.
I'm one of those who got it on 15 October. Largely enjoying it.
According to the list of compatible phones published by Samsung, most of the phones from 2012 onwards are compatible.
I believe the reason is because Tizen is still largely a Samsung undertaking for now, and they own the largest number of developers for it.
At any rate, you REALLY don't want to be swiping on this with 1 arm crooked all the time, and squinting at the 2" screen. Serious.
Currently, the only phones compatible with the Gear S are the Samsung Galaxy S III, Galaxy S 4, Galaxy S 4 mini, Galaxy S 5, Galaxy S5 Sport, and the Galaxy Note II, 3, and 4.

Hi mate,

I did not buy the watch yet. I have LG G2 and i am worried about its connectivity to my phone. Did you try to install the Gear Manager apk on your M8?
I can initialize the connection, i also have S4 mini, but its 4.2.2, not sure if it will work
once u set it up, does it use the same phone# as the phone u activate it with

**If it gets stuck:
I finally figured it out. I uninstalled the modded Gear manager, then reinstalled, but before I opened it, I turned off data and wifi, so it couldn't check for updates. Once I did that, then it was able to connect to the gear and I was able to follow the rest of the directions. Then I installed Tizonmod and eventually the Gear manager app got updated.

My Samsung Gear S just arrived today. I was excited, thinking that I was getting a standalone cellular device just like all the hype buzzing around claims. Not true. The Samsung Gear S is not a standalone cellular device despite all the false advertising to the contrary. I just got off the phone with Samsung tech support and they verified that the Samsung Gear S smartwatch needs to be connected via bluetooth to a compatible phone (Note 2, 3, or 4; Note Edge; Galaxy S 3, 4, or 5). If it's not connected and within 33 feet of the phone, you cannot make or receive phone calls, emails, or text messages. It's not just a matter of setting up the watch using a compatible phone and the Samsung Gear app and then going on your merry way without the phone making phone calls out into the way beyond. This overhyped dud doesn't work outside of bluetooth range even with it's cellular receiver. I tried asking Samsung tech support why in the world the Gear S even has a cell receiver at all if it can't work without being connected to a compatible smartphone. The only answer I could get was something about it being a convenience of some sort if you want, for example, to go for a run and leave your phone in the car. I imagine that's only good for those joggers who don't want to run more than 33 feet. Needless to say, I'm sending this overpriced "standalone" smartwatch back for a refund. I hope this adds some clarity to all the overblown rhetoric about this disappointing device.

Where to begin.................
Lets start off with did you do a little research on this "overhyped" device before you purchased? I mean, easily seeing its a SAMSUNG device would be a safe assumption that the Gear S would work best with a SAMSUNG phone. And that one possibility that it MAY work with other devices, maybe research that first to get confirmation? But instead, just purchase Gear S based on hype? Well, thats not good is it?
It doesnt work outside of bluetooth range even with its cellular receiver? Funny, I DO NOT have this problem. I can make calls, send text and use multiple other things that this device offers. Now will I always leave my phone at home? Highly doubt it. But those times I may leave it at home, I'm set.
You talked to a Samsung rep? lol. Thats not good either. It amazes me that so many people still go by what some of these reps say. Samsung has some great products (as others do too. But I cant speak for them), but I'll put my trust in a XDA member before I even THINK to put it into a Samsung rep. Not saying they are all bad, but many have NO IDEA on what they are talking about.
So yeah. I agree with you. If your not willing to just take a little time out and research the "overhyped" device you purchased. You might want to send it back. Its obviously just not for you.

I'm interested in using the Gear S for running. It has everything I use in a single device: GPS, mp3 player and heart rate monitor. In theory, I could you my Nike+ account and just be happy with it. But I don't have a Samsung phone...
I believe everything I need comes already installed in the Gear S, so I wanted to turn it on and go for a run!
Am I being to naive to think this would work without a Samsung phone?
Thanks in advance.

Without gear manager nothing works. It has to be setup using gear manager. If you know someone with a Samsung phone that is compatible with gear s you could get it going but it's complicated. I have a note 3 but like my Nokia 1520 phone. I am struggling trying to get it to work the way I want it to with the Nokia. So needless to say I'm using my Note 3 at the moment because I like the gear s so much.

Right it's like buying an Ipad(at least the old ones) where at least once you need to install itunes and connect to a PC.
You need Gear manager at least to start. Then you need it if you want to install anything new.

A poster said he has an iphone when he bought the Gear S a sales employee paired it with a samsung demo phone in store and his stuff works for now until he needs an update then he's screwed
I bought 2, one for my wife and one for me.
I have a SGS5 and she had a Nexus 5. I figured I could set up both watches with my phone... the problem is when switching devices it FACTORY RESETS every time. So 1 watch per phone
I ended up buying her a Galaxy Avant as well as it was the cheapest way I could find for her to run her watch.
Kinda lame but she's happy so m'eh.
I love do the watch btw, it's perfect for my needs (ymmv).
start up without a Samsung

no thanks, well the weather app wasn't working and the news briefing didn't work as well.
I have an old samsung S3 which I used to pair the phone with. I bought a one plus one but in the end it just doesn't work with the one plus one.
There is a way also to be found here on the dxa forum to pass by a samsung and download the gear on any other android phone but this doesn't work a 100% either.
It's a bitc**** but in the end to get the most out of the watch is to do it with a samsung mobile which runs 4.3 and up.
I'm planning to build a site only with info for the Gear -S it's called www . gear-s.info and I hope to gather info of all the different places to get one proper library with info over the gear.
The phone looks great and has a real big X factor but there are still some downsides as well to it. One big issue is that it runs on Tizen and in a smartwatch world with all but the Gear's running on androidware it makes the development of apps for the Gears not a big priority with people.
Another thing I can not understand is that Samsung undermining their own sales by having the Gears only work with Samsung. Sales could triple if you would be able to run the gear manager on any other android machine.
I find Samsung getting more and more like Apple, at one point you need to buy everything from Samsung to communicate between the different mobile devices.
The problem is that they do really make nice things but it would make live a lot easier if they op the market to other mobile IOS and brands.
I do love the people on the XDA forums, the way they discover things and help people, their patience yep, they are great.
I'm going to try to find a way to get whatsapp on the gear S.
Good luck
Hans

OK. Is there a solution?
I do not own a Samsung
you can find the Gear Mananger app (.apk) file on the internet..............then install it on your device, but when you run the app, it will not find your watch.
I feel your pain. I bought the Gear S a year ago, paired nicely with my Galaxy Note Edge phone. However, in November, I purchased the Nexus 6P (wanted an android phone w/out bloatware)........and now the watch will not function when paired with the Nexus. I can connect the two via bluetooth, but that's it........watch is basically just a timepiece.
