You can try the OpenFit app!

Some folks asked about if it's possible to use it as a stand alone device without the need of activating it in the first place with a Samsung device. It is! (I read that easter egg trick somewhere else in XDA for the Gear 2, it works as well for Gear S)
1. Jump to the screen, where it's visible for Samsung Devices in activation process. You'll see the unique name of your Gear S and a small Watch Icon on the left of the name
2. Tap around 25-30 times on the Watch Icon
3. Now a short message appears saying something about bluetooth. Just ignore it, it will vanish after a few seconds
4. Now tap again on the watch icon but this time leave your finger on the screen for around 5 seconds
5. Voilà, your Gear S is now activated, you can't use it as a remote Smartwatch but as a phone watch at least.
Hope, someone figures out how to pair it with Tab S soon since this is my phone
So, i hope it pairs with my LG G2 without much hassle? Remote sharing probably wont work because it is using Samsung account?
What about all other functions, like notifications, call forwarding etc? Is i even possible to reply on your phone and send via Gear S for messages

If the Steps above don't work buy the watch in the store and have the store pair/ or you to pair it with the display Model of the Note 4 (A guy in the Gear S thread has an iphone and this worked for him) Everything should work as a regular phone besides downloading apps (that needs to connect to the gear manager) and updates ( needs gear manager) Search the Gear 2 thread (Pair with non-Samsung phone works the same for our watch) Tizen is the OS and it should all work the same

Got it. I have S4 mini, but it is 4.2.2. I am afraid if the old version will not support.

You should be able to upgrade to 4.4.2. I borrowed the s4 mini to set it up Sunday and its on 4.4.2.
Just tried this trick out and I'm happy to say it works perfectly. I have my gear s connected to my iPhone right now. You can receive and place calls directly from the watch.

:good::good::highfive: that's awesome you hear this ppl it works with non Samsung devices
The Op method worked. Now how do i update and connect with my LG G2? In my phone it just says connecting
I connected Gear S to Kies and it says it already has the latest FW
So text messages notifications do not work. That's all I was able to test.
i have an htc m8 .. does this mean i won't get text message notifications either??
I dont think it will.
Gear Manager needs to forward the text notification to your Gear S from your phone.
You might be able to do text if you use at&t messages as a default messaging app try that.
Amazing. This worked. THANK YOU!
Questions:
1) Bluetooth between iPhone and Gear S keeps dropping. How do you fix this?
2) Can you pair the device with more than 1 device? So for example, it's now paired with my 6 Plus. Can add a Galaxy to it so I can add apps? Seems to always factory reset the device.
3) I know text doesn't work but can we use Calendars or Email somehow?

Regarding the question 2:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and an Iphone. My Iphone is my main phone.
Currently, i successful paired my iphone without the factory reseting. To do that: first i rooted my Gear S. After i use the sdb tool (tizen wearable sdk):
./sdb root on
./sdb shell
and then
cd /var/lib/bluetooth
and i delete the directory with a lot of number (the bt adress of the gear) . Example rm -r C4:42:02:19:99:8D
After i can paired with the iphone without the factory reset.
The problem is i have to do the same thing to reconnect the Galaxy Note 2.
To be continued....

Hold on ... you're deleting the bluetooth address for the Gear?
And how are you not getting this:
No, i don't think that. This directory contains some bluetooth information relating the local (Gear S) address. When i (re)pair it, the directory becomes.
In fact, there is a sub directory with paired bt adresss containing some others informations. To be proper, i deleted the local directory: there is no memory reset, no app lost. I tried to merge the sub directory (the iphone and note 2 bt adress directory), but for the moment it's not concluant.
No, the pairing is sucessfully and i can make a phone call from the Gear S throw the Iphone. For an incoming call , it's another thing: the Gear S rings (but , it's configured in vibration model !), but there is no sound unlike i transferred the call to the iphone and after to the Gear S (not cool !).

What is your model number? SM-R750[?]
Yes, it's a Gear S SM-R750.
The ROM version (rooted, see another thread on xda) is R750XXU1BNJ7.
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:

i have tried pairing gear fit with rooted xperia c ,
same problem with the confirmation screen , it sticks on screen " Connecting to gear fit "
any solution for this, i have disabled developer option.
seem like SS did something on their rom. 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)
HI,
I have buy my Xiaomi mi A3 last week and with suprise I can't pair the galaxy watch 46mm!
Anyone has the same problem?
Wear OS is ok
Amazfit Pace is ok
anything bluetooth device are ok except the galaxy watch
Thank you
I think I had to go into settings > reset wifi, mobile & bluetooth
Thank you for reply,
unfortunately doesn't work. I try anything:
- reset smartphone
- reset galaxy watch
- disable any battery optimization...
nothing to do...
Regards,
I had a similar issue with my Garmin bluetooth smart watch, it turned out nothing was wrong with the watch or the phone, it's how Android now pairs with external smart devices... Basically set the watch into pairing mode and then add it as a device in your phone's bluetooth search just like you would add a pair of bluetooth headphones, typing in the code and allowing it access to all the usual permissions it asks for such as call log etc. Then add the Google Wear app and any Samsung watch apps you want and login and the watch will be there paired already.

Hi,
Yes i have solve my problem. After restore the network connection I was able to pair my galaxy watch, I have try many network reset before pair it.
Now work right.
Also i have enabled the develper menu and set the AVRCP version to 1.6 but i don't think that this has fix the pair issue.
Thanks all. I followed advice to pair Bluetooth first, then add the wearable app, galaxy watch app, Samsung accessory service. I then tried to pair unsuccessfully through the wearable app. At this point it kept saying that while it was pairing you could check out the features (which I had been ignoring because the watch kept failing to connect). I decided to very quickly click through the next, next, next screens and to my surprise there was a bunch of new permissions that popped up to grant. Another failed connection, a couple more permissions and then.... Success...
I added the Samsung Health app and connected to a Samsung account. All is working as far as I can tell.
