Hi
I tried many things to connect my Fit 2 to my z3 tablet compact but nothing
works. Open fit always says connection failed. I dont know what to do else.
I tried it on 5.0.2 and now I am on 6.0.1.
Also I installed the gear Fit plugin. I cant install the gear Fit manager.
Hi! It happened to me with a xiaomi redmi3 pro.
You need to install the apps "Samsung Accessory Service", "Gear Fit2 Plugin" and "Samsung Gear".
Good luck!!

Hey guys, did you manage to connect GearFit2 with any Tablet?
Yes and No and I spent a couple of hours being shuffled around to the most unhelpful people who determined it is not supposed to work with tablets, only phones so they would not support it on a tablet. However, I could get it to work on an old tab 3 lite, running an older rom than required but not on the Tab S2. Couldn't instal the required drivers... Google app store says no. Samsung is playing their games again. Don't know why I expected anything else from them.

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.
Hello all,
About two months ago, I bought a Google Nexus 6. I found a file for gearfit manager on this site, that I downloaded, and it worked fine. I don't remember which one it was, but today all of a sudden, I get "Gear fit manager quit responding." I have downloaded multiple files, but the only one I have found that will load up is gearfitmanager_no_crash.apk. It loads up fine, and see the gearfit, it will try to connect and give me a passkey, But then it just stops. It tells me it is paired, but wont connect. The watch is updated to the latest firmware, as I have an old Note 2, that it will connect to. The Nexus 6 is running Android lollipop 5.1.1. Can someone point me towards the right direction here?
Thanks a lot.
OK, this only took me all night to solve, and since I couldn't find anything in all of the Samsung and other Android help forums, I thought I'd put this here, just in case it might help someone else.
Just got a refurb Samsung Gear S, which I like quite a lot. Have a Samsung Galaxy 3 phone, so I figured I was set. I downloaded Samsung Gear Manager App from the Play Store. It recognized my Gear S, set up the preinstalled apps, and I thought all was good. Tried to download the tizen endomoto running app through the Gear S, and it says I have to do it through the Samsung Gear Manager.
Fine, go open it up, and touch the "download galaxy apps" button, and it flashes, and does nothing. I can update the smart watch software, communicate to the phone, etc - but the "download" button just flashes at me. Tried everything - reset the Gear S, re-paired, nada. Set the Galaxy 3 back to factory settings, reinstalled Samsung Gear Manager, same problem.
Turns out you have to install the Samsung Galaxy App store. You'd think this would happen automatically on a Samsung phone, but no. And of course, if you go to the Google Play Store, there is no Samsung Galaxy App store to install (except in Spanish, go figure). Since I don't read enough spanish to understand that this would work, I uninstalled it. But Samsung does put out apk's to install the Samsung Galaxy App store in English. You just have to find them. In this case, they are here:
Well, ****, XDA won't let me put in a URL because I'm a newbie. So do a Google search on "install samsung app store apk" and the top hit should be to apkmirror.com. You'll find it there.
Installed this (which also installs Samsung push and a few other things), and tada! you can donwload through the Samsung Gear Manager.
That was 12 hours of my life I won't get back - I hope this save you all some of yours.
BTW, really like the watch.
you rock
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...
I've had my P905V almost since they came out, and right from the beginning I've wanted to get a smart watch that I could use with it. Especially since I use GrooveIP for my phone.
I had done some research and thought that the Galaxy Gear s3 was compatible (not sure where I saw that now) but here I am with a $300 watch, and it won't sync with my tablet.
Does anyone know how to successfully run the Gear Manager app from the NotePro, or have any other suggestions?

I use the Asus zenwatch 2 successfully with my P905V so I think android wear watches are compatible. (The Gear S3 is Tiezen though rather than android wear so I cant confirm there)
the Samsung website says the Gear S3 is not compatible with tablets but its possible they just blocked access to download the app.
you might try side loading it to see if it still runs.
I use gear s/S2 With it. Just see the info howto install gearmanager on none sumsung.
