Today while fiddling my non-functional Fitness for Gear app on my old Galaxy S3, I got a notification that an update is available to replace this ancient app. What I finally got is S Health 3.5 (the version that so far only available to GS5/Note4/Alpha officially). Briefly checked out the sync with my Gear S, it seems work perfectly with everything synced.
FYI, I'm using an AT&T version of GS3 with stock 4.4.2 ROM.
It broke my old S-Health and now just force closes when I try to open it.
Yep. My Note 3 got the update this morning too.
It pulled all the existing data off my Gear S, which is good.
Yep - updates to gear manager, s health, and the sync service... all my data now on my phone. Very very awesome. Now we just need an update to the Email app so we can reply/compose emails on the watch.

I have an unlocked Gear S and it paired to my Note 4 flawlessly. The issue I am having is that when I click the link for Samsung Gear Apps (from the Gear Manager) it take me to Galaxy Essentials not Gear Essentials. When I search Gear apps nothing pops up. I can't find a way to get any additional apps. Help!
Have you tried reinstalling the Galaxy appstore?

Thanks for the reply. I tried that with no luck. The interesting part is that I paired the watch with my wife's S5 and it went straight to the gear app store (from the gear manager) with no issues. I am not sure what to do now.
After a very frustrating day trying everything I can think of and 4 Samsung techs (who couldn't figure it out either) I did what everyone hates to do....a factory reset. But that resolved the issue.
Hi,
After the last update for Gear Manager (october 3, 2015 for me) my Gear S do not connect on my S4. Just previous day all is right. All broken after update. Same for my Gear 2 and my Gear 1. Trying to reset the Gear 2 but same issue.
Trying restoring previous backup and when launched the manager download automatically an update and after Samsung Manager app delete all my phone app with a Gear part. So delete :
- Wrist List (shopping list for phone and a part on Gear)
- Todo Gear
- Any list
- My Notes in Gear
- Gear notes
- GearTask
Counter for Gear
Samsung uninstalled all this app from my phone. So no watch and lost also android phone app, totally incredible, thank you Samsung.
Any one with issue after update ?
Same with me. My note 4 got ota 5.1.1 and update latest gear manager. Now it wont connect to my gear s.
been a week not works, remains only 51 weeks to wait
With Nexus 5, I uncheck auto update from Play Store, uninstall app from Titanium Backup then install old version and it works.
With Note 3 no problem (but Note 3 is simlock :/)
Gear Manager is not a PlayStore app
but even after a restore of an old app it not works again.
On "Galaxy Apps" I have the "Auto Update" unchecked but even with this when youn launc Gear Manager it start an update automatically.
You have a Samsung mobile, on other devices you can see it on PlayStore.
No problem with new Gear Manager on Samsung phone/tab?

Gear S and also Gear 1&2 are only compatible with some (not all) Samsung device
Sadly I have the same issue after a forced update of gear manager app. Note 4 doesn't connect anymore to my gear S... I tried to un install the app from phone but it's not working. I made a wipe cache partition via recovery it's not working too...
Anybody is having the same issue than us ?
Help would be appreciated
Nothing new. I tried to uninstall all samsung modules and reinstall all from Galaxy Apps Store, factory reset my Gear 2, launch manager, it found and pair the Gear 2 but when it start the manager connection it was unable to connect the Gear, it stuck on "Connect...." screen......
Incredible that Samsung phone can not connect to Samsung watch
We must wait maybe one year before Samsung correct this issue, but probably not have a Samsung phone or watch in 1 year
Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'm currently experiencing this issue as well.
Simplest best answer, sell all your samsung stuff (phone too) and get a LG (phone) and Urbane 2.
Problem solved no more Shady Shenanigans from Samsung breaking their sh!t just in time for the release of the S2 and trying to force users into a unwanted upgrade.
Forget this having to wait 51 weeks for them to fix a problem they caused and created, as big of a company as they are they should fix it immediately, but they DGAF about it or the customers.
More power to LG!

Samsung's now used planned obsolescence card.
I can't believe I used to think so highly of this lowly company and recommend them to everyone who asked.

I have a Gear S SM-R750A and when I try to install apps from the Gear Manager App Store they stick on Installing. I can use the Galaxy App Store to download normal apps to my Note 4 without issues just not to the Gear S. I am currently running Software Version R750AUCU1AOB1 and running 5.1.1 on the Note 4. Please let me know if anyone has found a fix to this issue. I have tried resetting my Gear S and reinstalling the Gear Manager as well.
I'm running stock rom on note 4 and I have this happen from time to time as well. Haven't found a fix other than canceling the installation and waiting a while to try again.

I have the same issue with my stock Note 3 and Gear s. Sammy has been no help. I have reset my phone and watch but that didn't help. I stay stuck on installing. Canceling doesn't help. Frustrated as hell. I won't buy another Gear x until they fix this. Don't get me started talking about Tizen. Not a fan.
Hi this happened to me. I did a restart of the phone and gear s and that fixed the problem.
I've tried restarting and reinstalling my watch to my phone several times. No luck. I am running stock everything with the most current firmware updates. No luck. Not rooted. My watch worked before I reset my phone using Kies and that's when everything stopped working. I can't even run opera mini. My watch gets stuck on installing. The phone says it downloads then goes to installing. ..forever. When Igo to my app manager, the apps I installed are not there. Btw, I have a note 3 along with my gear s.
Fixed
I finally fixed this problem. I did a total reset of my phone TMO Note 3 and my Gear S. I backed up my files on my computer, not using Kies. Reboot and reinstall all my apps, check for problems after every 3 apps. Works. I'd like to send a shot out to Samsung for their assistance. However, anything I shouted would need to be edited for expletives. Uncle Sammy was no help. Tizen still sucks. The app store is crap.... unless you want a watch face.
The gear fit 2 was advertised to have Spotify, however, there doesn't seem to be an option on the Nexus 6. Is a Samsung device required to install the Spotify app? Does anyone have an apk that I can try to manually install?
Hi, same problem here, I have a Galaxy S7. I assumed it was a downloadable app but only available to the markets where the watch has been released (I'm in the uk)

Same problem (Belgium). I thought perhaps it was related to me not having a premium spotify account. If it is region related, I can try to fake the region on my rooted device. Let's see if that works...

I bought my today - specially for Spotify! And now I'm relly confused: to wait or return gear fit 2 to store... Shame for Samsung! (Store in Poland)

I think it was just a Samsung Gear application update. Within Samsung Gear, in the Essentials tab, Spotify for Gear Fit2 now shows up. I am in the US on a Nexus 6.
I received a push notification that there was an update for my Gear Fit2. I clicked that and it ran all the updates.
My current Samsung Gear version is version 2.2.16051141
The software version of my Gear Fit 2 is R360XXU1APE4

Hi. I'd like to know if it's possible to download playlists onto the gear fit 2, as long as you are a premium user, in order to play them without the mobile phone.
Thanks

how do you know???
Just discovered something about the Spotify integration
Have had my Gear Fit 2 for about 10 days now (US) and have been using the Spotify integration to control music on my phone (LG G4) when I am listening to music at work. I'm off from work today, and discovered there must be a Spotify integration between my PC and my phone. So I can control the playing of Spotify on my PC with the Gear Fit 2. Nice bonus
Guess I spoke too soon. Not consistent. I could see the song playing and could advance to the next song, or go back. But then when I tried to stop the song, it wouldn't Oh well.
I managed to pair my gear fit2 with the official ios app, notification working fine but S Health always crash when opening my walking or running data.
Anyone manage to see walking or running activity data using ios app?
Is this fixed now? Can you view your maps after a workout (on the Gear or on iPhone)?
Planning of buying the Gear Fit 2.
I had this problem before but it got fixed for my in the update that was about a month ago
