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

OK, so problem is in version of Android. But I saw that today or yesterday was released new version of S Health. But I didn't get new update.

Hi,
Today someone told me via Google Plus how to install Gear Manager on non-Samsung mobiles. His name is Serge Berig. So 100% Credits go to him. I am just posting here what he posted in Google Plus. His Phone is Moto X and Mine in LG G2. Worked perfectly fine.
My Test Scenarios:
1. LG G2 D802 Rooted. Rooting is not required as his Moto X is unrooted.
2. I am using a separate SIM on Gear S.
3. I have disabled mobile data and Wifi on both Gear S and my mobile
How it Works:
1. Download Gear Manager Latest Version and GearManagerStub.apk from this link: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager (Credit goes to the uploader)
2. Download these APK Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uemtAJSY3PVDFiY0FsVGRLN28/view?usp=sharing (Credit goes to Serge)
3. Move these files to your phone.
4. 1st install Gear Manager, then GearManagerstb.apk, then all remaining apks.
5. Open Gear Manager on your phone and viola. It connects, Resets your Gear S in case you used it before and as far as i checked everything Works
I did not test each and everything. As far as i know most thing works. Previously i had "Connecting Forever" Issue, now it connects straight away. I am using my Gear S as complete independent to Mobile Calls and SMS from my Mobile. I have not set any forwarding options or notification for Call and SMS from my mobile to Gear S.
Pls post your results
What's not Working:
1. Can't Transfer Music/Images from Phone
2.
I was just coming here to post this.
I can confirm this works on my stock G3.
Works:
Calls work, but i had to switch to the phone then back to bluetooth. Initially there was no audio. However that may have been a glitch, because it works after that without flipping back.
Notifications (you have to allow Gear Manager access to the notifications in Android System Menu)
Home Screen Styler
Find My Gear
Contacts pull down to Gear
Not Working:
Music player seems to be controlled through Gear Manager and not A2DP. So we may have to install Samsung Music player. Still investigating.
Transferring files to the Gear through Gear Manager crashes goproviders.apk. This also broke my notifications. Had to reboot the phone to get it back working.
Call Logs dont pull down
Weather app is missing
Receiving SMS in the watch SMS app. You get the notifications just fine, but the GEAR SMS app can't sync your conversations

I would imagine there is a newer goprovider.apk. The one he posted is 2.0.337.337. Thats the older one from the Gear 1/2 Gear Manager.
All the Samsung Gear S apps are version 2.2 and up. I was experimenting with the old Gear Manager and got similar crashes.
Just thought I'd chime in and let you know that I have the same version on my Note 4 with the Gear S. 2.0.337
Thanks for checking on that. It's got to be a missing lib or some TouchWiz framework.
It's not even a feature I care about, but i'm sure it will be needed later.
I'm still trying to find a fix for the music player controls.
Weather app on Gear S is missing

You are right. I wonder what happened to it. When I skipped the activation, the weather app was there... Now that I got Gear manager to sync, it's gone.
what about text..I'm having trouble sending text from gear s...says mobile data or not connected to phone

Did you install the Stub Manager and all the 8 or so other APK's?
If you skipped the initial activation screen, make sure bluetooth is on, on the Gear S.
Also, try unpairing in the phone bluetooth menu then reopen Samsung Gear manager.

yes i installed the latest gear manager app as well as stub manager apk and other apks provided
this is my first time setting this watch up. my devices pair up but when i go to paired devices in the gear manager and try to connect, on my phone it says "connecting to gear" and the gear just has the "to connect to your mobile device, select the name of this gear in the samsung gear application" message
*EDIT*
got it working . i uninstalled everything that dealt with the gear under app manager in my phone and unpaired the device under bluetooth and re-installed everything again. it re-paired itself and it is working now.
I must have missed an APK somewhere
Glad to hear you got it working. Try some of things I listed as not working and see if you have different results. The more info we have, the better!
Music and images not worming here as well.
if I disconnect from Bluetooth my calls don't get forwarded to my watch. Can't send out text messages as well
Yeah I just want to chime in saying this isn't a fully working solution, but it works enough to keep me satisfied for now.
I'm sure as we get more people wearing these, more will jump on board to fix the issues we have.

Someone posted a video where the guy got a day one update for the gear. Also call forwarding options on the gear application itself is missing.
Someone should post the day one update apk as well as their version of the gear app

I just got what I believe is my second firmware update to ANJ7. (Not a Gear Manager update)
I now have a Gear S and a Gear 2. I was thinking about keeping the Gear 2 as it is smaller and better for occasions when I am wearing a suit and such. It looks a little fancier. It doesn't seem I can use the same apps on both. If I download an app for one watch, it doesn't seem it can then be downloaded again for the other. In order to get my old apps to work on my Gear S I had to uninstall them from my gear 2. If I can't I will just sell my Gear 2.
Any suggestions?

I have recently purchased the Gear S. I had a Gear Fit before, I I was able to trigger Tasker tasks from the Gear Fit, but I can't find a way to do that on the Gear S.
I haven't rooted the Gear S yet, and I've tried to install Tasgear, but that doesn't seem to work.
I've installed the App Launcher (I used that app on the Gear Fit to trigger Tasker tasks), but can't find a way to get that to work on the Gear S.
Any suggestions?
Hi
You can't launch tasks direct unless you do one of 2 things.
Install wearable widgets and then on the phone set up the tasks you want as widgets and you can run them.
Or get app factory and turn the profiles into a full app which you can then use with app launcher.
Both however require bt connection to the phone.
Thanks

After updating the watch to the latest ROM, i did a factory reset.
now, in Gear manager i cannot see the apps installed on Gear S (there were installed through automatically backup). In Seeting at MANAGE APPS and UNINSTALL APPS it says there are no apps installed. i want to delete an app from gear S...
and the double press option in gear Manager shows only 2 options. NONE and LATEST APPLICATIONS. no S voice..no nothing.
if i chose from gear S the S voice when i double press, it works only once..then it returns to the option NONE...
any help?
If you did a factory reset then it wiped all of your apps
Yes, but after it restored automatically, now I have all applications on Gear S. I have them o watch but I do not see them in Gear Manager...
So I think your problem is not finding apps appearing on Gear Manager. What you have to do is this (as I had the same issue):
Go to your 'phone:
Go to Settings - Applications and look for the app marked for the GearS. For example I had watch styler for both my Gear and Gear S. Both have apps and each is marked for their version. You can uninstall it from the phone there.
This will then allow you to uninstall the mini app on the Gear S..... via Gear manager. For some reason uninstalling on the phone allows the GearS app to show.
You can then reinstall afresh, or remove.
Basically there are two elements to an app. The main one (on the phone) and the mini extension on the Gear S driven from Gear Manager.
thank you but NO, in SETTINGS> APPS there are no GEAR S apps... only the one from my note 4..
I may be stating the obvious, but is your Gear S connected to your phone via BT when you check? That's the only way to see the Gear S apps in Gear manager.

I'm not a native english speaker....so I try to explain:
Gear S is connected to note 4 by bluetooth, I can receive notification, incoming calls, weather, i can install app from gear manager to watch BUT i cannot swipe un from the clock screen to display the pages with apps, settings, etc.
The swipes are registed well by the watch( in media player I can swipe up de first page to display the list of songs..etc
So I cannot acces settings or other apps.

of course i cannot see anything in GEAR MANAGER unless the S is connected.
and in SETTINGS manage app...nothing..empty.
I would start again from the ground up.
Re download the firmware of your choice from sam mobile. I can recommend the GB firmware as I have used this to re-flash my Russian Gear S and it is working 100%. You have nothing to lose!
If this doesn't work, and there is another post today on this forum, on what I think is your problem, then return the unit to Samsung under the warranty.
Another thing you could try is to 'reinstall' the apps through gear manager, then they would show up for uninstall.
so...the re install of the entire ROM, from scratch...and stop recovery of apps (this messed up the apps now)... seems to be the only solution.
i cannot see the app nor in MANAGE APPS nor in UNINSTALL APPS in Gear Manager. in GEAR MANAGER it seems there are NO apps installed on watch. .
in GEAR APPS Store the option is only MOVE TO GEAR MANAGER...

So try 'move to gear manager' and then see if they are available for uninstall.
already tried that...nothing. still no one appears in manage or uninstall menu...
Also, i cannot use double press on GEAR to open S voice, only recent apps. i have only this option in gear manager. ...
anyone has the latest gear manager update ? 2.2.15022599
