Anyone else having this issue? Tried unpairing, rebooting, restoring, uninstalling fit manager and s health on my S5. Nothing...

I am having the same problem, have pressed transfer on the phone and it says it works but can't see anything on the phone, all the notifications work correctly, but not the data transfer. Anyone have a idea how you see your sleep stats on the phone as well?
I have the S5

Same problem here and I have the S4
Have managed to get the pedometer to work, when on the pedometer screen, go to the settings top right corner and select device data to view, you can then pick the gear fit. Not sure if you can view the sleep data anywhere on the phone yet.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!! You have no idea how long I spent trying to get this damn thing to work. When you pair a Fit it should ask you if you want to view it from phone or Fit. I actually had a support rep in their chat room tell me it's not possible.

I have also problem with S Health on my S4 (I9505). I can't connect Gear Fit with this app. But if you check Gear Fit Manager on S5 there is option S Health right in the main menu. But this option is missing in Gear Fit Manager on S4. And I don't know why? Also Gear Manager (not Gear Fit Manager) is not working on S4 with Gear Fit.

Wish i could offer more help, but the generic completely unsync the fit and try a resync. You would have thought the S health app would be the same. To import the details make sure you are on the pedometer screen and the pedometer is enabled on the Fit.
I hope there will be a lot of updates for S Health and Gear fit, as the sleep stats dont export anywhere and you can only view one days pedometer stats. I wish there was an exercise mode to monitor heart when lifting weights.

I tried to reset Gear Fit, re-install Gear Fit Manager, but nothing. I also reset all in S Health. S Health app needs still Gear Manager which is not working on S4 with Gear Fit and after this installation S Health writes only that I have to update Gear Manager but I have the newest version.
Why is Gear Fit Manager different on S5 and S4 ? Which version do you have?
They will probably fix it since people with s4 are a lot so I doubt Samsung will abandon them (us).

Are you on JB or Kit Kat? I think that has something to do with it.
hello guys, question, everytime I shutdown the gear fit and reboot it, I need to setup the settings all over again (wallpaper,profile, etch)is this normal? or just my unit? its annoying and the security pin is useless when you force shut it down, all the setting is reset

I can't recommend Wearable Widgets enough especially on the Gear S
It works by creating a bridge from your phone to the watch for just about any widget that will fit on a 2" screen without it being too small to read.
I have experimented with a few widgets and 2 favourites are the BBC weather widget and Timely, but most impressive is an app called "HD Widgets". https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&hl=en_GB
With this one I was able to quickly design a clock and weather widget and then use wearable widgets to display it on my Gear S. See screenshot.
There is so much potential, they have 2 apps in the Gear Store, one is Wearable Widgets Clock and the other is Wearable Widgets for Gear The first one allows you to create any widget and use it as a clock. That's good for keeping a selected widget always available. The second app (which it states does not have Samsung approval - but it works regardless) Allows you to open the app on the watch and view as many widgets as you want, on a 'one per page' view. Note that in order to have more than 1 widget, you need to upgrade to the pro version which was about £1 roughly. Definitely worth it. And if I have made this sound complicated, trust me it's not. It's very quick and easy.
You will need the free app for your phone in order to set everything up:

Cannot find the wearable widget clock. Can you give me a link or something?
Go into the Gear store via Gear Manager and you will find it in the CLOCK category about one page down.
Note that some people say that some (random) apps don't appear. I cannot find the app called "Bike!" which someone else has for example!

How to set as a screen to the right
So regarding the wearable widgets for gear s (Not the clock version), I see that I can scroll down to the app then get my widget but what I really want is to replace one of the screens to the right of the clock with one of the widgets. I really like my watch face and don't want to replace it. It is too much swiping around to get to the widget in the app dwar that is below the clock. Am I missing something?
Thanks

It's not currently possible to add anything to those pages other than the pre-installed Samsung widgets. You can of course move the app icon to the top of the app drawer (tap and hold then drag) that will save you a bit of thumb work!

Need to update Gear S for more compatability
Samsung really needs to update their gear S Tizen software to be more compatible. We should be able to add whatever app we want to one of the widget slots to the right of the clock. Also no gmail or facebook app. WTF! The wearable widgets is an okay work around but I find there is an obnoxious delay when trying to scroll through the gmail widget and If I have to pull my phone out to look at the email after selecting it from the gear s widget then I might as well go straight to the phone in the first place.
The gear S has a lot of potential but the software just is not there yet..... I have never used an android wear watch yet but I wonder if it does some of this better. But I do really like being able to reply to txts from my watch or answer calls which android wear can not do.

Regarding your email issue, I am now using the stock Samsung email app. It's not as good as the Gmail one but it gets the job done and more importantly it is fully compatible with the Gear's email app and notifications. I also think Facebook will follow.
Now with the Gear S.. there are some shortcomings I agree but it's still in its infancy. I bought the original Gear when it first launched and there weren't any apps for it, just some additional (and ugly) watch faces. It was expensive and I could easily have written it off as a waste of money. However things quickly picked up, the Gear store grew, developers did some amazing mods and roms for it, Samsung added Tizen and that meant more apps. I started appreciating it more. And I kept it right up to the Gear S purchase.
I am certain the Gear S will go the same way. There is a lot more potential with this than any other smartwatch as it has a large screen, a keyboard, wifi, gps and a cellular connection. These are all useful for a huge amount of development potential. I am also confident that Samsung will add more functionality and iron out the usability issues.
I bought an 'LG G watch R' initially, believing that Android Wear was the going to offer so much more. I had the watch for 24hrs before sending it packing. It was lame compared to Tizen and quite frankly unattractive and limited. It's designed to be a notification slave and not really cater for apps and standalone features. It hasn't exactly moved on much since it was announced either.
So hang on in there mate, and concentrate on how amazing this watch is in every other way. It's a cracking gadget and it's a keeper for me.

Wearable widgets on gear s
Ok I am using an orange icon that says gear in it... I downloaded and installed both wearable widgets and I even upgraded but it does not show me how to get it to the watch.. I did click one thing on my wearable widgets app on my phone and it says I need gear manager.. I downloaded gear manager, but will not install, I'm assuming because of the gear app I currently use... If I remove the one that's orange and has gear written in it.. Will I lose what I have created clock wise and app wise alike?
You can use 4x4 widget also. The watch will scale it down.
Oh heck yea! This works great. Expands the Gear S tremendously in my opinion.
Sounds interesting. But will this work without a bluetooth connection to the pone too? A connection (over WLAN or remote) should be necessary, right? But will it work just with remote over 3G? And what says the battery?
questions
Has anyone found that wearable widgets drains battery. Is it possible to disable the watch home screen and leave wearable widgets running so when i wake the watch wearable widgets is running and i can just swipe over to next widget. Is there a watchface that can be used where i can launch the app just by touching the screen.
And unrelated but is there an app where i can see a full calendar in month view that can sync with splanner/google calendar.
Im trying to decide between switching from my omate to the gear s so im just trying to weigh my options.

Yes WW drain the batt, you must be carefull with the WW oprion. WW as a watchface app so it is the standard Gear Clock and you can swipe from the face to other widget.
You have also another watchface for Gear with launcher and you can add shortcut for 4 to 20 apps on one face.
Hi!
I like S health app on my samsung gear s very much. But what can I do with data on my gear? Nothing. Because I don't own S5. It cannot be transferred to S4 Active or PC... Other sport app that I used to use (Runtastic), needs phone connection all the time. So whats the point hawing wach if you have to take your phone to a run anyway? What are the solutions for this problem. How can I syncronise S health to my mobile or PC? Any suggestions?
S Health was updated a month or so ago. Now even my S3 can sync and display S Health data. Your S4 should no be a problem
I'm happy for you, but in my case it's not working. Now i have Android 4.4.2 and my S Health version is 2.5.4.168 and cannot be updated.

My GS3 is running 4.4.2. You will need S Health 3.xx to get full support of Gear S. As far as I know it was available to all Samsung phones S3 and newer. Not sure why your didn't get the update. It was pushed down automatically from Samsung.
See this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/s-health-3-5-app-finally-available-to-t2945386
I have dowloaded 3.5 version and updated current (2.5.XXX) version, couldn't start the app...(I didn't download it from the store. It can't be found in the store.)
it needs bunch of services to be updated first. not an easy install if you manually install. It's a mess.
Now I'm thinking about to buy S5 active, would S health app in S5 Active synchronise data from my gear S?

It should as all S5 era phones (note 4, Alpha) come with S Health 3.xx. But with Samsung, you never know.
After 2 days I can say with conviction that the Gear S is a worthy investment for the money.
A little research and I've got it all set up to my needs.
- Getting Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, & text messages, all with the ability to reply
- Getting my Google Now alerts (traffic, weather, etc)
- Streaming Milk Music as standalone
- Opera Mini browser enables me to check/reply/send Gmail, browse/interact with Facebook, Google Search, etc
- Enabled continuous swipe input in the stock keyboard in settings
- Changed my voice-wake to "OK Google"
- Battery easily lasts me almost 2 days entire day with moderate use
I can't think of a single thing that I am disappointed about. And that's saying a lot as I had high expectations.
If you're on the edge of buying this, I say go all in. Speaking of which, I'm on the Edge as well. T-Mobile
I just got mine today and so far I'm loving it. I only wish you had a manual to show me how to set mine up like that especially replying to Facebook messages.

Glad I could help. That's what we're all on XDA for!
I think the GS is the most amazing piece of personal tech I have ever come across (IT technician by profession).
I used to carry two phones, one personal and one work, which was a pain. Now I carry a Note 4 as my personal and the GS as my work phone. I run the GS in remote connect mode during the week so it acts as a stand alone number, then on weekends I run it in Bluetooth mode as a companion to my Note (I don't take work calls on the w/e). My exchange account syncs mail, contacts, appointments, etc across all my devices. Emailing, appointments, adding contacts, etc I do on my Note which syncs with the GS. Business calls/msgs I take on the GS and private calls/msgs on the Note.
This solves all my problems and works fantastically.
The GS is incredibly versatile and that may be it's biggest fault - too complex for the average user. Just read many of the posts on here and it is clear that people have no idea about it's features and functionality.
I feel same as you guys. I enjoy my phone everyday. Makes life easier for me. Only issue I am having is that if I get a text message and I go to reply the keyboard won't pop up. I have to go and close all apps thrn go back into messaging app then it works. Any ideas?

I get the email alert 1x with the reply arrows, then again with an "open on Android" at the bottom. Not sure where I'm failing the process. Very excited to get this sussed, this may keep the Gear S in my hands, was getting pretty discouraged!

Congrats to the Gear S and the S6 Edge. May your battery last a long time!
I found Opera in the Samsung app store, that I accessed through Gear Manager. From within Gear Mgr, once connected to your Gear S, you can install all the gear apps you want (not that there are that many). Hope this helps.

I just checked and you are right: Samsung seem to have removed the app, and I can't even find the other browser I saw in there.
It used to be one of the very first apps popping up in the store.
I'm sure we can share the Opera file with you, I just have no clue how it's done.
Damn--looks like I missed it by a matter of DAYS...
Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now. Thanks guys!

Got update today on Nike app, says syncs with shealth. Don't see how or where to sync
You need the update of s health as well. .. Just got it installed on my note 4. Now I see nike+ integrated in s health...
Thanks. Dumb q. How do you get the shealth update? My galaxy store doesn't show my apps some lollipop
I Dont see anything about sheal in the Nike + running app or s health and they're both updated
I updated everything and I see nothing.
Can you please tell us what to do?
S Health is not a simply app update. Samsung managed to create segmentations on S Health, e.g. each different phone models see different versions of S Health only. My Galaxy Alpha only sees S Health 3.5 that was last updated on Jan 2015.
I downloaded the new apk and updated by myself. Yes, now Nike is in S Health.

S Health is not a simply app update. Samsung managed to create segmentations on S Health, e.g. each different phone models see different versions of S Health only. My Galaxy Alpha only sees S Health 3.5 that was last updated on Jan 2015.

I don't know where to download it. My phone shows S Health app in Galaxy app store when it was on 4.4.4. But now with 5.0.2, it no longer shows. S Health is not a simple app to update. It depends on all kind of Samsung services to work. Samsung managed to get million different version of S Health targeting million different models of Samsung phone. I typically just wait and once in a while Samsung will push the S Health update to my phone.
Or you can search for S Health APK but keep in mind it may not work for you specific phone.
Odd thing. Updated to lollipop on my Note 4. S-Health is version 4.1.1.0037. It also now shows up in the Google Play Store as well as the Galaxy Apps store.
Casual jogging.
I've been using Gear S and Nike+ for running on a weekly basis. Here are some battery saving tips I have developed. My watch has no SIM card, so no battery drain that way. I use it simply as a GPS distance-measuring + MP3 player over BT mix.
1) Go to Settings just before a run and turn on "GPS". Usually it gets a signal pretty quickly. Then go to "motions" and disable all. Also, go to S Heath and disable the Pedometer.
2) If you jog with musicConnect your BT headphones. Turn on the Music from the Music player, as Nike does not know how to shuffle (whatever, Nike).
3) Go into Nike+ app, decline Music and Cheer requests. Wait a couple minutes, start your run and watch for the green GPS dot to appear.
When all goes as planned, I get more than two hours battery life (estimated). Went down from 90% to 40% battery life during an 1:25 hour 10 mile run. In theory, if you run fast enough Half-Marathon should be no problem, and if you do not use BT for Music at all, then it can probably go more than 3 hours on a single charge with Motion and Pedometer off. Good enough for casual jogging.
This watch is awesome for casual running. Share your tips, if you have any! Thanks!

There is a Running feature in S Health.
For those that updated, can you still use Nike+ or do you now need to use sHealth, because Nike is integrated into it?
I run every day, and switched from sHealth to Nike+ 2 months ago because the GPS signal would take forever to lock in sHealth. How are things after the update? Is sHealth faster? Nike+ slower?
I keep using the NIKE+ for running, but after the update GPS took about 5-7 minutes to lock...will retry again today or tomorrow.

Thank you thank you!! I have not even looked into possibly updating until I hear user feedback, as I was afraid it may slow down the GPS. Can't wait to hear back from you or others after you next run.
Is anything else new or different?
One more question: does Nike now track your HR? On my Gear S, it never did. Just wondering if that has changed since the update.
Thanks!
HR works for me sometimes, depending on how sweaty my hand is + hair . But it is imprecise, as far as I gather.
GPS lock now takes forever. .. ran yesterday and it pretty much skipped the first 750 meters + fooled around with the watch 5 mins beforehand. It still counts the distance though. I never carry the phone with me though.

Thanks strikey17. Is there any benefit to the upgrade that you can see, then? Sounds to me like I should make sure it does not install, if it only slows down the GPS.

How Can I use S health in my Gear S2 to running then sync data with nike+ App?
Nothing to do with the watch app. Nike+ phone app now supports sync data into S Health phone app. Not the other ways around. Your watch S Health app already sync data with S Health app on the phone. So here is how it goes:
Nike+ watch app -> Nike+ phone app->S Health phone app
S Health watch app -> S Health phone app
