[Q] Won't connect to rooted phone - Samsung Gear S

I broke out my old S2, rooted it with CM11, running KitKat, edited build.prop to reflect an S4. Once I edited build.prop I was able to download and install Gear Manager directly from Galaxy Apps. It launches fine, but I can't get it to find my Gear S, any ideas?

Galaxy 2 has bluetooth 3.0, I think the S is on 4.0

I can pair it to the phone via bluetooth, but the Gear Manager can't find it.

What build of gear manager are you using? I was successful in getting the Gear S to mate with my Note 2 using 1.6 or 1.7 (can't remember) but then it auto upgraded to 2.2 and the watch still worked.
Now that I'm using a note 4, I have other issues with the watch and the phone such as the contact list and s-voice.

Root works fine for me all my Android gadgets have been rooted no problems here. If you need a Specific gear manager let us know I'm sure someone can come up with one for you. the GS will work on S3 and up you can spoof all you'd like but the hardware is needed for the models of S3 and newer

You can also grep logcat for "Host" (adb> logcat | grep "Host") and check out the HostManager output. When I tried to run Gear Manager on an AT&T S3 mini it was spitting out an error that told me why it wouldn't show the S. (The error basically said that the host needed 1GB of RAM.)

Worked great on my note 4 rooted. Had to reset both watch and app on phone.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S

I loved my s2, this looks like the best solution for hooking it up to your Gear S.
You have to get up to bluetooth 4.0 it allows for data collection.

Galaxy Gear - Custom Roms - Sprint?

Hi all I have a galaxy gear watch, but can't pair with my galaxy mega 6.3 for sprint... Is there any custom rom or work around to get this to work? I do know once watch is rooted, can work with other devices.,. But I have to pair to a device I don't have to get this freaking pair screen to go away first... Just trying to save hassle of going to bestbuy and pairing to their devices or someone else just because of the lock screen..

You can try installing the Galaxy Gear Manager app from the Samsung Apps app, you should be able to sync the Gear with the app. If it doesn't show in the Samsung Apps Store, you would need to search for, download, and sideload the apk file. If not, flash the "_null rom" onto your watch...

it probably relies on some sammy stock apps and if your rom doesnt have them it wont work. i am on custom rom for N3 that is a full stock S5 port so my N3 is just like s S5 and it works for me.
Anybody have a mirror for the apk? Mega isn't working right now.
Also, Mega sucks in general. What kind of service will let you download directly from the website on the PC, but requires that you download their stupid app if it sees a mobile User Agent? That's some shady crap right there, but it's par for the course when it comes to Kim Dotcom.
EDIT: Never mind, the app is on Google Play and you can download it that way if you have a compatible Galaxy device.

[Q] Does the Galaxy Gear work with the Galaxy S4 Zoom??

Hi,
I have the chance of buying a Galaxy S4 zoom but need to know whether it works with the Galaxy Gear or not? I have a Galaxy Gear (Original Galaxy Gear 1) already and don't want to render it useless should I chop in my Galaxy S3 for the S4 zoom!!
Thanks
Yes it does. I have gear version 1. Works fine with zoom S4 on latest 4.2.2

Thank you for letting me know. The version I have a chance of getting is the SM-C105 presumably that's not going to make a difference?!
Did you just download the Galaxy Gear app from the Samsung App Store? Or did you force install the Galaxy Gear app itself?
Also do you have full functionality or have you lost some features like people say the weather doesn't sync, the notifications, etc...??
No you don't need to download gear manager. Just follow the instructions in the Gear box. Turn on nfc and it will connect and start the Gear manager download for you.
I have full functionality. I think people with issues have either messed with or installed non standard software first.
My phone and gear are absolutely stock firmwares with no mods.

I don't understand how you were able to get the Gear to work with the Zoom running the stock rom 4.2.2. When I use the NFC to pair the devices, it opens the Samsung App store on the Zoom and attempts to download the Gear Manager app but I get an error that says "Product does not exist in this store. (4002)"
Is there something that I am missing? Could it be possible that there's a difference between your stock rom 4.2.2 SM-C101 and the one I have SM-C105A?

Hmm ok, this doesn't sound as promising now!!
I don't suppose anyone is able to definitely confirm that the Galaxy Gear works with the Galaxy S4 Zoom?
I've double checked today and its actually the SM-C101 model I have a chance of getting... OR I can now get a Galaxy S4. So I need to be absolutely sure that I can use my Gear with the Zoom, otherwise I'll go for the S4
After extensive research and numerous attempts, I finally broke down and decided to root my sisters S4 Zoom so that it would be compatible with the Gear.
It was really easy to get setup and probably took 45 mins total, I just never did it before because I tried to get it connected without root.

I didn't need to root to get mine to work. Worked straight out the box.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully the SM-C101 will just work on stock then?
Its odd as there is hardly any info on people sucessfully connecting their Gear to the S4 zoom. Maybe its just because there wasn't many S4 zooms sold??

I looked inside of it and it is still the same firmware as before. So only the Manager App might have changed.

Correct, firmware stays the same and the GFM upgrades just fine. I haven't noticed any changes yet.

yes, and my gear fit manager keep trying to downgrade many times...
I think i will soon switch to an android wear watch, samsung is finish for me, they do nothing for their products, no major update, poor s health, big **** for fitness with gear, NO SMART ALARM ??!!!!!!???? .... Sony have big ideas, but not good hardware (smartband and smartwatch), samsung is only a follower, good hardware, but no ideas..
I totally agree, the Gear Fit has an impressive hardware, but does not have a smart alarm bracelet is disappointing. Where there has been an alarm clock without.
I hope that they get an update which comes included, do not think it's too much to ask a simple alarm that does not depend on our mobile device.
It to me is the only thing I miss him a bracelet.
