Hi folks,
I'm going mad in finding a way to adjust the Gear Fit time clock without connectin it to a phone.
I'm using an Xperia C dual and also with the lastest Gear Fit firmware installed I can't get it to work with Gear Fit Manager and syncronize the clock.
If I leave the Gear Fit with no battery for some days it loose the time and I can't change it anymore. My only way is to find someone with a Samsung phone and connecting to it.
I've tried to find a modified firmware for the gear fit with time change function but no way!
It's a madness that a clock can't be adjusted if no phone is present!
Someone can help me?
at the moment I don't think it is possible. I am trying(slowly) to make an app that syncs with the gear fit, without requiring a Samsung device. Development is going very slow and I don't know yet if it is at all possible.

Hi guys.
Finally I wrote here to ask desperatly if there is a way to use my new Gear fit with my phone ,Xperia C dual C2305.
The phone have Bluetooth 4.0,Android 4.2.2,no root,original firmware.
I've downloaded and installed Gear manager Ver. 1.70 and after 1.78, tried with no firmware modification and after tried updating the firmware with version E and after with the last NG2 using Odin.
The firmware process works perfectly,no errors.
The problem comes when I try to connect for the first time the Gear Manager software with the Gear Fit.
I activate the bluetooth,open Gear manager. The app recognize the presence of my gear fit,and pairs correctly with it (if i go in bluetooth manager i see the gear fit correctly paired). Then the Gear fit app stuck at the "connecting to gear fit" screen,and stays here forever,no way to go on. The Gear fit stay a minute with "wating for confirmation..." and after gives error of failed connection.
I'm totally desperate,I don't know why this software won't accept the gear fit even if it pairs correctly in BT manager!!
Now I'm using software ver 1.78,but it's the same with all versions!
Some help here,I'm so angry like I want to launch it outside my window!!!
Today I've tried the gear fit connected to a samsung S4.
It worked and the fit manager has updated the gear fit bios.
after i've tried to reconnect it to my xperia,but I have the same issue,no way to connect it via fit manager!!
I'm using fit manager 1,78
desperate need of help!

Hey there. I've followed all the necessary steps when it comes to setting up the Gear Fit with my Nexus 5. There are no issues pairing, all is well in that regard, however, the date and time on the Gear Fit are way off. It's stuck in November and tells me my birthday in the 80s is in the future when setting up my profile. No matter how often I pair, unpair, reset, whatever, the correct time settings won't push to the watch. Are there any fixes for this? Or should I abandon hope of using it with the Nexus 5 and return it?
I have mine working with the N5. What version of the Gear fit manager are you running? I am on 1.70.0617 and my software is the NE5 version. I had to set my profile on the Gear fit not via the manager. Try using those versions and reseting the Gear fit to set the clock.
Hey everyone,
I just got myself a Gear Fit and wanted to connect it to my (rooted and Custom-ROM) S4.
Everything works fine on my (stock) Note 10.1 2014, it connects to the Fit and everything seems to be ok.
I want to pair it with my S4 though and that does not work.
I got the Latest Download from Here and installed the Fit Manager.
It does attempt to connect to the Fit and then when pairing it jst sits there and does nothing. After some time the Fit attempts another connection, however it does nothing after that either...
Does anyone have an Idea?
Edit:
By now I've tried versions:
1.111.1216 (no connection)
1.78.0721 (crashes on connection)
1.96.1124 (same)
and the "Latest Official" from Here (no connection)
Same with zopo 3x
Hi I have the same or a similar problem. With Samsung s3 on cyanogenmod pairing and connection was fine. My gear fit is on newest firmware and I tried all managers from 1.55 to 1.88. My zopo does pair but not connect. Connection screen on phone is waiting forever. No message. The gear fit wait for pair confirmation of phone. Very strange
Any idea? I tried also to delete pairing in Android Bluetooth settings. Same behavior on next pairing.
Disabling "Developer options" helped in my case on Galaxy Note 4 pairing with Gear 2.
No solution for this Problem? Can't connect my gear fit since firmware upgrade :crying:

My note 3 connect perfectly with GF when using TW base custom rom(both kitkat and lollipop) but when i try with AOSP rom(lollipop), it have a same problem with GFM. So if you want to use ur GF, u need to stay with TW base roms, GFM work well and no problem with both kitkat and lollipop

I have an S4, and that is how I fixed it
Apparently, you need to download the Gear Fir Manager from apps.samsung.com/gearfit not from the samsung app store.
The Samsung app store version does not work, you need to download the latest gear app from the website, gd luck
Yeah it's a bit late but try to get back on Sammy based firmware. That's strange because on lollipop on my Note 4 I couldn't connect to Fit but on S3L with 4.4.4 Note'd 4 software it works perfectly(hah because of Fit went back to S3 )

Hey, I just got the LG G5 today. I've been using the Gear S for less than a year with my S6 Edge with no problems at all (after changing from the LG G Watch R, Samsung seemed to lock out the old watch with a software update).
I've been trying for the past few hours to set up my Gear S with the LG, but nothing's working. I've tried what seems to be the 2 most popular methods and neither worked. The closest I got was pairing the 2 via bluetooth in the Gear app, the watch said it needed to reboot and factory reset. But then nothing. Just stuck in an unending connecting loop.
The G5 is running Android 6, I've heard that the Gear S has some problems with that.
I don't need full functionality for the Gear S, just call and text notifications (it will do the calls via a normal BT connection but not texts). I use it as a music player as well, but since that isn't tied to the phone, I know I'll have that no matter what.
I've also heard about possibly being able to install Android Wear on the Gear S. Is that possible?
Can someone please help?

Sorry to tell you this, but gear s is locked down to only specific sammy devices. The best option for you is to flash the wear port from the development section. Then you can use it as a AW device... hope this helps

I did see the threads about flashing it to android wear, but if I do that can I still okay music out of my Gear S speakers?
Both my wife and I use it to listen to music work the need for an additional Downe speaker. If it can, then great.

Hello, I'm wondering if there is a way to pair my Alcatel 4060a and my Gear S? I've tried a few methods I found but nothing has worked so far. I can root the watch, but I don't want to take the risk if it won't let me connect to a non Samsung phone. Can anybody help?
Until I know, you can just pair the gear s by Bluetooth to use it as a loudspeaker for your phone but that is the only functionality you will get. No gear manager sync. No notifications. No contacts sync. Nothing else.

you can try it with Android Wear on them. That should be fully functional (if you dont mind non working stuff from porting the ROM)
