Hey there. I've followed all the necessary steps when it comes to setting up the Gear Fit with my Nexus 5. There are no issues pairing, all is well in that regard, however, the date and time on the Gear Fit are way off. It's stuck in November and tells me my birthday in the 80s is in the future when setting up my profile. No matter how often I pair, unpair, reset, whatever, the correct time settings won't push to the watch. Are there any fixes for this? Or should I abandon hope of using it with the Nexus 5 and return it?
I have mine working with the N5. What version of the Gear fit manager are you running? I am on 1.70.0617 and my software is the NE5 version. I had to set my profile on the Gear fit not via the manager. Try using those versions and reseting the Gear fit to set the clock.

Hello everyone.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.4.2 and I bought a gear fit two days ago. I assumed these would work together perfectly. I downloaded gear fit manager version 1.88 and installed it.It finds and pairs with my gear fit, great!! As soon as it connects via blue tooth I get the error ''Unfortunately Gear fit manager has stopped'' instantly. Then it reconnects automatically then the error Unfortunately gear fit has stopped working this will go on and on and on, any ideas? Its driving me crazy it just constantly connects and crashes. I have tried resetting the gear fit multiple times erasing the cache and data. I have tried re-installing the app. I always get the same result. Is this a common issue?
Thanks in advance.
I now have GFM 1.92 but after installing it it wants to "update" me back to 1.88 how do I get around this?

If it gives you a choice just hit cancel. If it does it without asking just install the version you want and then freeze GearFitInstaller.

Hey everyone,
I just got myself a Gear Fit and wanted to connect it to my (rooted and Custom-ROM) S4.
Everything works fine on my (stock) Note 10.1 2014, it connects to the Fit and everything seems to be ok.
I want to pair it with my S4 though and that does not work.
I got the Latest Download from Here and installed the Fit Manager.
It does attempt to connect to the Fit and then when pairing it jst sits there and does nothing. After some time the Fit attempts another connection, however it does nothing after that either...
Does anyone have an Idea?
Edit:
By now I've tried versions:
1.111.1216 (no connection)
1.78.0721 (crashes on connection)
1.96.1124 (same)
and the "Latest Official" from Here (no connection)
Same with zopo 3x
Hi I have the same or a similar problem. With Samsung s3 on cyanogenmod pairing and connection was fine. My gear fit is on newest firmware and I tried all managers from 1.55 to 1.88. My zopo does pair but not connect. Connection screen on phone is waiting forever. No message. The gear fit wait for pair confirmation of phone. Very strange
Any idea? I tried also to delete pairing in Android Bluetooth settings. Same behavior on next pairing.
Disabling "Developer options" helped in my case on Galaxy Note 4 pairing with Gear 2.
No solution for this Problem? Can't connect my gear fit since firmware upgrade :crying:

i have tried pairing gear fit with rooted xperia c ,
same problem with the confirmation screen , it sticks on screen " Connecting to gear fit "
any solution for this, i have disabled developer option.
seem like SS did something on their rom. My note 3 connect perfectly with GF when using TW base custom rom(both kitkat and lollipop) but when i try with AOSP rom(lollipop), it have a same problem with GFM. So if you want to use ur GF, u need to stay with TW base roms, GFM work well and no problem with both kitkat and lollipop

I have an S4, and that is how I fixed it
Apparently, you need to download the Gear Fir Manager from apps.samsung.com/gearfit not from the samsung app store.
The Samsung app store version does not work, you need to download the latest gear app from the website, gd luck
Yeah it's a bit late but try to get back on Sammy based firmware. That's strange because on lollipop on my Note 4 I couldn't connect to Fit but on S3L with 4.4.4 Note'd 4 software it works perfectly(hah because of Fit went back to S3 )

After much prodding, Samsung admitted that neither of their tablets work with the Gear S officially. It's stupid, and the reason why I bought and am now returning my Tab.
Workarounds like the ones for non-Samsung devices are your only option.
All you can do is raise awareness on social media and hope they'll push updates to fix this.
you can't connect it with tablets as it will make you reset the watch over and over again. It is very annoying, I was going to connect it to my computer via bluetooth and use it as a microphone when i found out.
I was able to get 90% functionality by editing my build.prop on the Tab S. Of course this means you have to root the Tab S. I set the model to SM-N910A, which is an AT&T Note 4. I also had to change the characteristic to phone instead of tablet. Next I reset the Gear to factory and was able to pair it with Gear Manager. Email works perfectly and all apps seem to work. But, call forwarding and text do not work. I can use the Google SMS app if I add it to the notification in Gear manager but this does not provide for responding directly from the Gear S.
This is better than just Bluetooth connectivity and I am still working on how to get the remaining functions working. Also, I set the characteristic back to tablet after completely pairing to fix the force close when trying to get to the system settings menu on the Tab S. It doesn't seem to have any I'll effect of the Gear S but it is needed during the initial pairing with Gear Manager.

How did you get the build prop edits to stick after a reboot. What Specific Edits did you use.
ro.product.model=SM-N910A (stock is SM-T705) and ro.build.characteristics=phone (stock is tablet)
I used build prop editor from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor
You have to choose menu, edit then edit the lines above for the edits to survive a reboot. I also have call forwarding working after a call to AT&T. They reassigned my IMEI from my note 4 to this number and it started working.

It looked like it was work, it reformatted it then downloaded some stuff now it's stuck on connecting to gear.
Glad to hear it. Make sure you change the ro.build.characteristics back to tablet or you will have FCs opening settings.

After a couple of reboots and removing it from pair it finally finished the install
Yes, I saw that happen as well. Figured out to cancel the first Bluetooth request and try again.

stilll no hope , i can't even find the gear s in the gear manager apps... i'm using tab 3 7.0 so maybe different with tab S...
I don't know for sure what is going on for you, but it requires both build.prop edits mentioned, a reboot of the Tabs S after the edits and resetting the Gear S to factory. This is what it took for me. The model you input must be a Gear S supported device name.

Hi folks,
I'm going mad in finding a way to adjust the Gear Fit time clock without connectin it to a phone.
I'm using an Xperia C dual and also with the lastest Gear Fit firmware installed I can't get it to work with Gear Fit Manager and syncronize the clock.
If I leave the Gear Fit with no battery for some days it loose the time and I can't change it anymore. My only way is to find someone with a Samsung phone and connecting to it.
I've tried to find a modified firmware for the gear fit with time change function but no way!
It's a madness that a clock can't be adjusted if no phone is present!
Someone can help me?
at the moment I don't think it is possible. I am trying(slowly) to make an app that syncs with the gear fit, without requiring a Samsung device. Development is going very slow and I don't know yet if it is at all possible.
I have a stock ATT Note 4 which finally received the M update (yay!) except it kinda broke my gear s (boo!) Watch is working, as far as a watch goes, and still connects via bluetooth. However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

Check the app permissions for the Samsung Gear app elements, make sure they're enabled

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
