Hi,
Has anybody got S2 successfully connected to Gear 2 watches, or is this lost course? I got to myself Neo couple of days ago. I use CM11 rom and installed latest Gear Manager to it. S2 himself pairs with success, even connects via bluetooth. But with Gear Manager 1.7, I can pair with success, but cannot connect successfully to watch. It's just saying connecting and doing nothing. Tried with version 2.0 of Manager and this one doesn't to anything, just saying error message that "unable to connect to Gear", upgrade software and so on. Samsung officially said what they are doing all to get Gear 2 watches working with all Android phones with 4.3 or newer in near future. But then and how long must we wait only future can tell. I'm really happy with S2 and CM11 rom, is this really so that I need to buy new phone or wait before guys from XDA are cooking working software..
Edit:
Yes, got working! Read Gear 2 thread and got hint to do restart after installation. Now Gear Manager 1.7.031004 / 2.0.14031004 paired and connected successfully. Got punch of errors (several stopped workings while connecting -saprovider.apk and goproviders.apk ), but watch and S2 seem to get along.
please explain your steps
Hi Equ,
I'm stuck with exactly the same problem.
I have a Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and I'm trying to connect it to my GS2 i9100.
Looking for other threads I've found only this one and post there my attempts: [HOW TO]USE Samsung Galaxy Gear with i9100
Could you please explain how you get the solution, which rom and gear manager apk have you used?
Thank you so much,
Flavio.

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 . I have latest CM11 by Markox89 on S2, and Gear Manager is latest available I believe 2.0.14042803, but on first time I used 2.0.14041404. Of course many things don't work with S2, but I used this solution to only pair and to finish watch initialization. Using only pedometer and heartrate monitor for daily usage. No alarmclock or notifications (missing them mostly), sadly, but many thing still working Root access was gained couple of days ago, so now must wait for modders, maybe something more will happen for Galaxy S2 too
Thank you so much.
I'm going to try this procedure and report here my results.
I will also investigate the code of the Gear Manager apk because the I'm quite sure the incompatibility message (device not supported exception) could be not a real issue but only a check in the code.
If this is true changing the result of the check should simplify the installation of the apk without need to modify the original build.prop file which could affect the correct phone functionality.
gear connected with i9100
Here my updates:
I was able to connect the gear with the GS2.
Unfortunately changing the puild.prop file record ro.product.model will affect every rom I've tested, after shout down the device can't start again.
I always needed to restore a previous backup in recovery mode.
Using Phone/GUI Interface method also doesn't work properly because I'm still not able to move the apk inside /system/app folder and this probaly is the reason I can't install S-voice and S-healt app.
However I've installed Gear Manager v2.0 14041404 and all Connecting-Fix pack apps (the only exception is SAWeatherProvider_signed.apk) on my GS2 i9100 with android 4.4.2 SlimKat rom.
Connecting the Gear always generate an error but the paring and connection procedure will complete correctly.
I want to buy gear fit but i am not sure it will work so i wont buy, maybe buy smartwatch i dont know (

How did you manage to get you're watch working with you're s2. I have a sght989d S2 and I have been fiddling with it for the past 3 days trying to get it to connect. I would really appreciate you're input.

I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 and it worked for me. But I have GT-9100 model of S2.
i was updating my galaxy gear 1 to tizen using kies 3 but the update got stuck on 2% and than i disconnected my galaxy gear from the computer. It stayed in download mode and than i tried updating it to tizen using odin but still that update failed and now my galaxy gear is just showing small dots and lines of random colours and nor odin or kies 2, 3 is detecting it... please help me fix my gear 1. PLease
Thanks
Yesterday i updated the Gear itself, after that, the watch is not connecting to my S4 Mobile. Until the update there was no issue.
It says at the screen " Connecting to Gear" but nothing happens. I tried restarting both devices, but no luck
Try to first connect your gear as a bluetooth device and the second step to be gear manager.

i am also stuck on x-note rom 4.4.4 rooted with gear manager stuck on connecting to gear . same issue
any solution you found out ????
Its not only Smart Switch, its also Kies. I installed the s6edge USB drivers, i have no room on my phone. So my phone is just stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s6 edge screen. When i plugin my USB it kinda connects, and also on my device manager screen thingy it says Samsung ANDROID. But i cant find my phone at all, its rooted and all but i want to install a new room
http://windowsreport.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-windows-10/ tried using this guide, still not working.
Says unspecified SAMSUNG_ANDROID under devices and Printers.............. This is driving me mad
Have u tried odin? Download and install odin. Any version over 3.10.7 will do. Uninstall samsung kies and smart switch. Download samsung drivers and install drivers after u have uninstalled kies, smart switch and rebooted. U can find many manuals how to use odin with google.
