Ok. So I found a tutorial in gear s forum to get full functionality of gear s on any Android. However I can't get it to work on the v10. I get the apps installed and it saw my my gear and made it reset but then once reboots and tries to go in and connect it just loops on the "connecting to gear" screen.
Has anyone gotten the gear s to pair and have full function? I know I can bypass the watch part and just connect Bluetooth but you lose so much of the reason of having the gear s.
Thanks

Hm, I have a Gear S Classic and it automatically downloaded all the required Samsung software and everything works just fine. There are even apps to purchase and it downloads an S Health version even. I wish they would do the same for my other Gear watches. This is with an LG V10

Are y you talking about s2 classic? They didn't make an s classic hehe. The s2 is designed to work on any Android. Then gear s is only for Samsung devices

Anyone not using a Samsung phone with the Gear S? What certain limitations have you encountered and what phone do you have?
I have an HTC M8 so I'm hoping I won't be too limited to anything.
Someone posted about that on g+. He was able to get it to work with his moto X but said it was a pain to do. The setup process seems to be a big challenge.

If you are up to the challenge just follow the same method used to get the Gear Manager for the Gear 2 onto your M8. Then take it from there and see what happens.

So I went and picked up a new black Samsung Gear S today at the local ATT store. they only had one in stock and ordering through best buy produced a shipping date of March 2015.... I know its off subject but I havent kept up on the release and was wondering if it is fully released yet?
But anyway... Back to the topic.....
So like I said I just got it today and havent had much time to mess with it but I havent been able to get any of the paired functions to work with my M8. I also have a Gear 2 and a Gear Live. The Gear 2 I have working with a Gear Manager APK and like most with non Samsung devices, everything pretty much works with the exception of the S-Voice, weather. and any third party apps as I have no access to a samsung phone whatsoever..... Last night though through alot of reading I was able to successfully start installing new watch faces and some third party apps through the Tizen Wearables SDK using .wgt files... This is on the Gear 2 however and I was able to pair that one using the Gear Manager. The Gear S.. even though I am doing the same process to try to pair it I cant for the life of me get it to pair. The bluetooth connects and then it says connecting in the GManager app and just gets stuck there.. Something else that struck me as odd, after the first time you connect to gear manager we know of course it will automaticallys start asling to install something like 10 - 15 apps , I guess they are plug ins of some sort. Well when I connected the gear 2 it installed one called "Gear 2 plugin".... Now today when I tried to connect the Gear S. it installs the Gear 1 plugin. Anyone know if that sounds right?
So I too am constantly looking for info to get more functionality out of the Gear watches without going to a touchwiz POS phone, if you or anyone else has anything to share it would be greatly appreciated. I am also now looking for some sort of dump or repo so to speak, just an archive really of .wgt files so that i can have a bigger collection of standalone apps that I am able to install because that is the only way I know how to be able to add any appps to the Tizen watches so far. If anyone knows a better way to get to customize more please let me know. I have to be missingsomething..... or alot of things.... I read somewhere today that Samsung was claiming that the Gear S would have one thousand third party apps available at the time of launch.... I have yet to find one....

Well it definitely doesn't have what's app pre installed on it. There really isn't much on it for apps. Only new ones from gear 2 I think is that Nike health app like on the iPods a few years ago (not sure if they still have that on iPod) and some thing called"milk", I believe it's something for digital music like Pandora perhaps, email app and a messaging app... Oh and nav app. So did you want the wgt files so you could side load the faces and the few apps igot? They have to be installed via sdb unfortunately.... Unless you know aa better way?

Gear Fit won't connect to Galaxy S6 after successful pairing
Hoping for some help after talking to useless Samsung chat support. I've got a Gear Fit that won't connect to my S6. It connects just fine to a friend's phone. Keis3 says it has the latest firmware. I've tried downloading the Gear Fit Manager a few different ways and I always get the same response: after confirming the pass key I am told "Failed to connect your Gear Fit. Try to connect via Gear Fit Manager. Refer to the manual for more information." Any tips? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like a solution may be odindownload.com and flashing the Fit with the r350xxu0bnd8 firmware? Is this still the best option?

Installing the previous version of the Manager software did the trick. Wow, thank you, this forum is great. :laugh:
Where did you find the pervious version? Also after getting it to work did your fit upgrade to the latest firmware after you upgraded Gear Fit manager?

In this thread under "Download" -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719278
Nothing updated after I reverted the previous version (already had the latest firmware). Occasionally my phone asks me to update the manager and I hit cancel.
Is there a way to stop the update prompt, because I've had this problem on my Note 4.
Keeps asking me to update gear fit manager, but it won't actually update. Tried everything even emailed shamsung and they were no help at all.

That sure would be nice, but judging from other discussions on here, I don't think so.
That's what samsung told me that it's not possible, I read somewhere that if rooted you can, but it removes the gear fit notification icon and disables notification from fit to phone, for example goals and achievements etc...
Is there any way to install samsung gear manager on my motorola nexus 6 running android Marshmallow?, I want to use notifications, etc.
In advance, thanks!!!!!!
Search the other "non-Samsung device" thread, there's an .apk file for it. However, after installing the app, you will not be able to find your Gear S. The Gear S (at least for me) isn't working with devices running Marshmallow.

Hopefully that will be soon. They keep teasing a 6.0 release for Galaxy s6 and s6 edge, but still no definite release date
So i purchased a Galaxy Gear S for 100$ and i have a Nexus 6. I see the APP store has Galaxy Gear Manager and i installed it im using CM 13 Snapshot (Android 6.0.1) but the manager is still not detecting my watch.
I found out how to bypass the initial setup (tapping on the watch icon) and connecting via bluetooth however the functions seem limited. Currently the only thing i can do is use it to make bluetooth calls.
As it stands its just a fancy normal watch with some fitbit functionality and thats it. even the cheap 5$ watch from ebay let me play music and get notifications on it.
Hi, Just wondering if anyone has come across this issue...

Ok well, tried again today, and seems to have updated, but I didnt see any version changes on the Gear Fit INFO...so I am not even sure if it downloaded? or installed? Gear App doesnt display the notice for new software update...
...UPDATE...(2 hours later)..Nevermind, still saids there is a new update...
Anyone know if the Gear Fit 2 will work with a phone that is rooted. I have read that the Gear app that is needed for Gear Fit 2 will not work if it sees that the phone is rooted.
Thanks
it works without problems in my LG G4 rooted of course.
I use Gear Fit 2 (and Gear 1&2&S and Fit1) with a rooted Galaxy S4.
works fine on my Rooted Note 3
but will not work on my Rooted Note 7

I just rooted my new S8+ and when I installed the samsung gear I get an Notice saying that the phone's OS been modified in an unauthorized way and it's not compatible with the samsung gear app. Anyone experienced the same issue?

I was able to get it to work and get notifications, but S-Health wouldn't work. Funny though because it works on non Samsung phones. I've been experimenting with Open Fit, but so far, I'm not happy with it.

This isn't the file in root is it? I have no Samsung entries in that file. I'm going to check the Samsung.apks and see what in them.
