Anyone aware of someone working on a Android Wear rom for the gear fit or is there a limitation in terms of screen size and shape that doesn't allow that?
Android Wear can't be ported to Gear Fit.
It's totally impossible.

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
Will Samsung gear fit works when the phone is off or not in range.
I mean can only wear gear fit for running without having phone with me? Will it track the path I ran and sync it when gear fit is in phone range?!
Thank you
No, you'll need phone with you.

Non smartwatch from Samsung can do that. Maybe only Sony SW3 can record your track, because SW3 has GPS.

you're right, but just look at the Microsoft Band..it's basically an improved Version of the Gear Fit. Maybe that's sth for OP
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..
Just wondered if anyone got Android Pay working? I thought the devices has NFC in them?O, ZW2 WI502Q on Android Wear 2 (2.0.0.161057753)

Aaah bummer, thought there was talk that it had the hardware, just wasn't announced etc, not to worry.
So, I is there any cardboard or vr goggles that works with this 6,9 inch display?
Please send some recommendations...
No support for "Gear VR" as ocolua is not in cooperation with Samsung. And Samsungs own mixed reality headset is for use with Windows PCs.
I start to regret having bout the Ultra
Yeah it sucks - we finally get a badass phone with the hardware to do some great VR processing and Samsung doesn't support Gear VR a couple generations ago. I have the OG white and 2nd gen black Gear VR and neither will my Daydream VR work with the S20
I wish there was a way to make any of them work with this phone.
I'm back to using the old S7 for VR.

is it possible to side load another APK for video and such on the gear VR? (essentially use the gear VR as a "cardboard" VR so to speak).
