You must see app on watch and on phone.
We can reply with voice, canned or keyboard even without 3rd apps.

I have now realised that notifications for gear s is not compatible with my samsung s3 , however it has installed on my samsung tablet , problem is i cant install it onto my gear s because when i go to galaxy apps it says installed , does anyone know how i can rectify this , also is there any other app i could use that would do the same thing
any help would be greatly appreciated
Factory reset the watch and delete the Gear manager app and reinstall
Yep that's the only option. I had the same thing when I switched rom and reinstalled gear manager.

Have couple question about the apps supported by Gear S? If anyone has played hands-on in AT&T store or is planning too.... would appreciate some insight.
Essentially, will Gear S allow apps install from the Play Store, or we at the mercy of Samsung to decide what I can and cannot do, when I'm away from the phone?
Also, is Gear Manager just a routing/notification type software, and truly we can install anything on Gear S (whether thru playstore or side apk load), and when the smartwatch is far away (not in bluetooth range) from the phone... Gear Manager directs the AT&T tower to route the appropriate data to smartwatch.. as long as the app was installed on both smartwatch and smartphone?
Based on that AT&T fineprint pic... it seems, it will allow SMS/MMS/call and also email... does it mean I can install corporate email client from play store? and will it still work? Also, not sure about other apps.
If anyone has seen in the store... do you see the play store icon, or in settings option "to allow install from unknown sources"? Thanks in advance.
I did go to the AT&T store but the Gear S shut off.
I dont think you can install from the play store since its running Tizen OS not Android.
Thats all i now waiting for more info from Samsung.
That is a good question: is there a Tizen play store?
i to have same question as i m also planing to buy gear s ,.,. i want to have a calculator app as i did not see any sign's of having calc in it ,.,.
but i dont think that we'll have any authority to install any other app. and if this is the case than how good is moto 360 as it is an android watch ??
Is there a Tizen app store?
yes there is. You use your samsung phone to access it and then push the apps to your watch

Even though the watch has an Internet capacity?
Well this one might. I just know with the other samsung watches you have to use your phone to push the apps to it even though those have wifi on them.
Here`s a link to some Gear S apps.

Hi Faccion.
There is a yes and no to your question.
Yes, there is a way to install the Samsung gear to your non Samsung phone (for that follow the thread in the other reply)
But some apps will not work on your watch anymore and you will not get any push messages, you also will not get any updates for your watch.
I have tried it with my mobile and since then I receive a error messages that something is not working in my mobile, I needed to reset the phone.
There is also a way to start your mobile without a phone but than as well there are some apps which will not work with the watch.
The people of Samsung were not completely honest in there advertising, you do need a Samsung to work properly with the watch.
good luck

Yes, I did this and it works. But the next step is to install the Samsung apps store. I was successful in installing it but it dose not work because its a lg phone. So I changed the manufacture, brand, model to Samsung in built.pro and the stores works fine, but now when I open gearmanager it crashes everytime and I have to restart the phone! So I can only use the manager or the store but not them 2 together. I've searched everywhere but couldn't fined the answer on how to make them work together. Maybe someone knows?))

I've got them both working together. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but I only changed the model in the build.prop. I'm on a Nexus 5.

Yes, Its working now. But I still don't see the store in gearmanager. And the apps that I install only are shown on my phone.
Yesterday, I had to format and reinstall my Gear S
now Nokia Here app doesn't show any maps. (on the Gear S)
Phone app (Here) , has the map shown.
How can I get back the maps on Gear S ?
I reset my gear about 2 weeks ago and here is working normally for me. Try Uninstalled and reinstall. Or is that a gear s system app?
yes it is a system app.
even if I reset my gear S, it doesn't sync the map.
that is sooo bad.
Did you Uninstall it and reinstall it from your phone also? Here requires a phone with the app installed on there also or it won't work. The watch version is just a companion app
I have treied everything. I have contacted Nokia Here support several times. They keep saying the same thing. "try downloading offline maps"
The watch doesn't do that . Here app on the watch thinks it is offline even though it is not offline.
after you clear cache and delete app... try searching for HERE app in gear manager store and re-install. that was my idea. also the app appears in Google play store... so you can re install it from there.

there is no place to delete this app as far as I see. not possible on Gear Manager, not on the Gear S itself.
This is a preinstalled app and the software does not provide a way to delete it.
If there is a way, please let me know...
On Google Play store , there is only the phone app, not the Gear S app..
I have the solution
To be able to download maps on to your Gear S you have to do as follows:
1. sim card inserted and active(always active)
2. wifi activated and connected to a router
3. very important Gear disconected from phone.
Only then option Download offline maps become active and gives you the possibility to download any map avaliable on your Gear S.
Hope I was helpful to someone, I did this with my Gear S and only this way works!
Hey Guys
I changed my phone from Note 3 to Note 4 latly - and restored some of my apps via Titatnium- also some gear stuff.
Now i have the odd problem- that i cannot install some apps on my gear s because the gear manager states them as allready installed- but they are not on my gear !!
I guess i have restored some system files or something that makes my gear s think that this apps are allready installed- but if i go in gear manager under settings-installed apps. They are not there- so i cannot uninstall them- so im in a kind of a trap.
Can you guys help to sort that out ?
Thank you
I have same problem but with 2 Gear on my Phone. I have first the Gear 2, I installed many app. After I paired a Gear S with the phone/Manager. When I want to install an app wich is on Gear 2 the store say is yet installed. If I want install on Gear S I must connect my Gear 2 and uninstall the app.
So if you have not 2 Gear try to uninstall the Gear Manager and reinit your Gear ?
Great ! No i don´t have 2 Gears- i will try your solution and hope it works
Unforunatly it didn´t it still says wearable widgets is installed . Strangly Gear Navigator not anymore- but it offers me to buy it again- even tough i allready have bought it. Very strange.
Reposting this in a separate new thread after also posting in the sticky tutorial for others searching on google how to get the Pixel to work with the Gear S.
"I have a Pixel XL and tried to use the above steps to connect my Gear S to the phone.
When I try to install "Samsung Gear_com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager_2.2.14100299_2114100299" the phone says it is corrupt and cannot be installed.
When the gear manager is launched, it cannot find the watch at all. But using the regular bluetooth connection method from androids bluetooth settings does allow me to connect it to the phone. But manager still does not detect/activate the watch...
Please help! I have gotten way too used to the watch to get along without it..."
I was able to download and install gear manager from play store without any issues. Still doesn't connect to my gear s though. Says it can't find, even when I reset the watch. I need help to. Don't want to return my pixel, but love my gear s

The Gear Manager which you downloaded from Play Store does not connect to Gear S. It only works with Gear S2. This has been confirmed by Samsung that Gear S can only connect to a Samsung phone. Currently I'm using a spare Galaxy Note 3 to synchronise with Gear S for S Health tracking.

Tested on my xperia Z5C and not see also works with my Fit2. So we must wait for an update ....
I am going through the same issue, and after spending eternity with high level techs on the phone and in person at a Samsung store, I found that the answer lies in the Gear S. The last firmware update for the watch was early this year, and the watch itself cannot communicate with Nougat. Even though Gear Manager will communicate with Nougat. Right now we are at the mercy of Samsung to update the Firmware for a 3 year old device, that has been replaced by 2 generations...
