I have the Gear Fit for a few days now. I like it a lot (especially how it looks) but there's just a few things.... One is I cannot get the weather to work. I keep getting "network error" on my Note 3. I also can't figure out how you get facebook notifications or Gmail? Everything else seems to be working well. Does anyone else have the same problems? I hope there will be a software update to fix and add some features.

1) Make sure that you have Gear Fit Manager installed on your phone and not Gear Manager.
2) More info on your phone. Is it rooted, not rooted, Latest KitKat update? Custom rom? Etc.
3) In Gear Fit Manager, you can select which notifications you want running to the Fit.
1. It's definitely Gear Fit Manager.
2. My phone is rooted and I was wondering if that may be the problem. No Custom Rom. I did not update to Kitkat, not sure if that would help or make it worse.
3. I see the notification options but it's not listing any of my apps.
Thanks so much for your help.

Your problem may lie in that you did not update to kitkat. Go ahead and update and then try again.
Good luck sir!
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...
Hi, I would like to ask if you already have some experience with the Fit Manager on Android sixth I tried all the versions on my LG G3 but unfortunately without success. You do not like someone experiences when back upload the Androd 5 whether it will be? Thank you once again. And I apologize for my English.

So we have already come Gear fit to join, and invited me to agree to the terms. When I confirmed that the application crashed. And I'm back at the beginning ... what next?
That's weird it doesn't crashes to me. Maybe check the app permissions
Also...
Did you installed the gear manager installer apk too?

I finally use my Samsung Gear Fit with my LG G3 Marshmallow
The only way that I can do it, it´s using openfit app, beacuse The Fit manager crashes every time I tried.
So you want to use this excellent smart watch, only with openfit, there´s no other way to make it work.
Hi from La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico... Visit as facebook.com/djwero.:good:
hello, just want to share my case.
LG V10 Marshmallow
GF: R350XXU0BOA2
gear fit manager v. 1.92.1110 (this is the only version can work with & not force close)
GearFitInstaller v. 2.9
it's a bit works on notifications like whatsapp, gmail, facebook, you will get the notifications, you can see the message from whom but can't see the message content......not works on calls, alarm and no notification selection for schedule.
it can't be reconnected automatically, i have to off & on the phone's bluetooth myself to make it reconnect. but if i restart my phone, it can't be reconnected until i unpair the gear fit from bluetooth & pair again (data still there).
expecting workable version for full functions
can' connect my gear with gear fit manager app
My zenfone 2 android 6 operating system, i installed gear fit manager software failed "unfortunately Gear Fit Manager has stopped". I have installed some gear fit manager versions like "gearfitmanager_no_crash" and "gearmanager_lollipop51_test_2_signed" but can not connect to gear fit. Please help me, Thank alot.
Gear Manager for Gear Fit2: (iTunes)_GearManager1616092201_Volt_Phase4.ipa
Replace "<DOT>" by "." in that string:
drive<DOT>google<DOT>com/uc?export=download&id=0BzV6ODdvTyPtZmFjWlhjRURZMm8
=> Works with Gear Fit2 and iPhone 7 Plus!
Yes!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I have been waiting for this for at least 3 months.
Great!, thanks for posting.
Installed it on my fit 2 and iPhone 7.
Reset, not full reset though, gear manager discovers the fit 2
What is working, what is not in my config;
Watch faces: only free, but gear designer does upload own designed faces
Sync with Samsung health: working
Notifications;
Text: working
phone: not
Whatsapp : working (default icon)
iOS mail: not
iOS calendar: not
Installed gmail and gmail calendar to try;
Gmail: working
Gmail calendar: working
This covers most of my need, tried several other 3rd party apps with notifications, most do work.
You have to let the gear manager app run, it restores connection to the fit if you are back in range but overnight I lost the connection and had to close and restart the gear manager.
Overal, very grateful , seems that we can expect to fully use the fit2 on iOS
Cheers
Summed up on reddit
Here is the link to my Reddit post:
/r/gearfit/comments/5hfylh/gearfit2_ios_beta_leaked/
iCal and iOS mail notifications worked for me. Almost all app's notifications worked except for Google Maps somehow.
Manage tracks?
Hey guys, I tried to add music tracks with the Manage Tracks - Browser option but it crashes ever time? Did anyone experience the same issue?
Hello,
i've installed the IPA and connected the Fit 2, but i cannot load any watch faces on too my Fit 2.
Have you tryed it ? If yes and it worked for you...could you please give me an example which works ?
Do i need to set something in the app....or ?
Thanks !
Edit: ok ok i found out, after installing the watch face from the phone, you have to enable it on the watch -> settings -> display-> watch faces
---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------
Ok, i have another question: how do I transfer music on to the watch from the phone using this app ?
Thanks !
Just went for my first run with the gear fit 2 today, came back and synced with the gear manager app, only managed to see the steps count being synced but no running activity was seen in s-health via the app, anyone facing a similar bug? Or is your running being recorded on the iOS app?
Thanks in advance

Hey, you can't add music through the app yet. Not on iOS. But you should be able to do it by connecting your computer to the same wifi and transferring it through your browser. To do that, go to music player on your Gear Fit2, switch to Play From Gear Fit2 mode (tap the phone icon if you're not in that mode), slide up from bottom and select Manage Tracks. Then follow the instructions. It looks very easy. However, it does not work for me. It keeps crashing somehow.

Just found out there is an update for Music Player app on Samsung Store. I will let you know if it is fixed once it's downloaded
update: Nah, still crashes
I have the same problem. It won't crush when WiFi is off, but when I turn it on it still crashes... Waiting for next update, the same problem on S2 after an update, before it was working fine.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make the Schedule/Agenda work?
