Hi, recently I bought a gear fit not knowing they are only supported on Samsung devices.
After a bit of searching I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949
It works great on my MT2 L03, its missing some features but that might be fixed later. Also the Fit can be updated to the newest firmware by connecting it to a Samsung device. This will not break compatibility.
I thought the Mate 2 doesn't have NFC? I got the gear 1 and have been putting a lot of thought into getting this phone aswell

I haven't been paying much attention to the watches, but don't they connect to the phone via Bluetooth?
My gear fit is Bluetooth, I didn't know the gear 1 was NFC

hi all.
I recently had a Note 4 but the screen broke and I gave up on repairing it ...
I chose to purchase a Lenovo P1 with a huge 5000mah battery. its great.
However, I have a gear s watch that i really want to use as a companion.
I noticed the Samsung gear app in the market only works with the Gear S2 watch and not the Gear S watch.
How can i do this?
please help!
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/general/tutorial-install-gear-manager-connect-t2934307
installation requires a rooted phone. there is no root for my lenovo vibe p1
so my watch sits here collecting dust.
You should have known that before you buy the watch: it is only compatible with select Samsung phones.

ya well i had a note 4 when i bought the darned thing. then the note4 screen broke and i wasnt gonna spend money on fixing it. i was hoping my lenovo had root but not.
my lenovo has a 5000mah battery
Well, that's one of the reason I dumped my Gear S so that I can use non-Samsung phones.
Hey everybody!
I want to buy a Samsung Gear Fit 2 but i heard there a some troubles with OnePlus Two?
I´m currently running Exodus Rom but I cannont download the Samsung Gear App from PlayStore. Do I need this app to pair the devices?
Can someone tell me what i need to get the Gear Fit 2 working with the OnePlus two?
I also posted in a thread above but i did not get a answer.
I´m afraid to buy the Gear Fit 2 and cannot use it.
Regards

I haven't been able to use it with the oxygen os on my op2 however I made it work by installing lineageOs 14.1 on my OP2 and its working fine.
Hope this help.
I know it has been talked about alot before but I can only find really old topics on this so surely someone has come up with some software by now.
I have a galaxy s5 and a new oculus gear vr. Now I can get the phone to fit into the headset and run after market apps* (obviously the buttons on the headset don't work) but they work great obviously not as good as the galaxy s7 and the genuine app for the headset.
Surly someone had gotten the genuine "oculus gear vr" app to work on the galaxy s5??? as far as I know my issue is only software restricted? (correct me if I'm wrong) as the only thing that links the phone to the headset is the micro usb which does fit into the galaxy s5 good enough to work.
I can't find the genuine "oculus gear vr" software on the play store but does anyone know where I can I purchase the software from?
Cheers guys
I'm not sure 100% but the software is phone firmware dependent. It has a lot of services etc. so I think that's the case.
Someone may be able to port it, but not sure it would be an easy task.

Can you use the Samsung s5 in the gear as if its a google cardboard?

No, that's impossible. You can never pair your Gear S with non-samsung phone. Gear S2 or S3 could be ok.

Hello all,
I am about to pick up a gear fit and looking through the forums and also having lots of experience with the original galaxy gear I wanted to share some thoughts with the experts.
Firstly looking at the fit 2 it definitely does support android 6.0 and non Samsung devices. But one main difference is that there is no Gear fit manager but a Gear Manager unified for all devices. ( all devices being Gear S, S2 and fit2)
Actually my LG device (6.0) can see and download the latest gear manager just fine, but don't have the gear fit yet to test.
Now the way it works is by using a plugin for the fit 2 which is also available on the store. So my idea is, is there or was there a Gear fit plugin that if we load could work with the latest gear manager which is android 6.0 and non-Samsung compatible? Or could we get the fit 2 plugin to work on our device?
Just stating my thoughts hopefully not just wasting your time.

Gear fit 2
I have a gear fit 2 and a Motorola droid turbo 2 (on 6.0) and they work perfectly together. All I did was download the Samsung gear app from the play store and the other apps it said it needed. What I'm looking to try and do is find non Samsung store apps I can put on the watch, like a weather app would be great.
If I am not mistaken all new samsung gears run the Tizen OS which maybe makes the compartibility with other devices and android 6.0 easier. The original GearFit runs RTOS which could be the reason it was left out, maybe?
I never followed how good it selled but I am guessing not that good since it was only usuable with samsung mobiles which makes the target group smaller. Probably they don't even care, for the ones that bought it or would be now willing to buy it, in order to spend resources to either update the OS on the original GearFit to make it compartible with the Gear Manager or to update the old GearFit Manager to make it compartible with newer android versions.
Theoritically it would be possible patching the new Gear Manager somehow for Gear Fit. But I don't know if anyone would think the trouble and work doing it is worthwhile..
