I have Samsung Galaxy S3 lte (i9305) with VRToxin v4.0 (Android 6.0.1) and I bought the Gear Fit 2. The problem is when I try to start the Samsung Gear app (from Play-store) it just says my phone is illegally modified and it's uncompatible with Samsung Gear. I have tried to change my phone to the Android 5.1.1 (SlimLP) and Samsungs orginal 4.4.4 and 4.3 Nordic countries NEE (from Sammobile which all didn't even work, they start but then androidui crashes and no way to even get the phone working to the point where I can try to update the OS from Kies). I have tried to manually install (using the guides for Gear 2 and with Gear Fit 2 plugin) the app, but then I even get the error to update the Samsung Gear or my phone is modified and uncompatible with Samsung Gear.
Closest to get the Fit 2 work with my phone has been with Open fit (it recognizes the Gear Fit 2, but it cannot connect to it). So I belive everything else is working correctly but I don't have a working phone app to use with the Gear Fit 2. I cannot be the only one with this problem, but I cannot find anyone talking about it. So, is there any way to get the Samsung Gear to work with my phone as it is now, or is there any rom with which the app would work (I will probably try to install Android 4.1.2 from sammobile later, but I don't keep my hopes up with that) or do I need to start looking for a new phone?
I installed the apps "Samsung Accessory Service", "Gear Fit2 Plugin" and "Samsung Gear" and finally it connected with the phone!!
Good luck!!

Hello,
I've been using my SGS2 for few months and I never was able to use Samsung Apps. Whenever I try to download something nothing happens. In fact there is a quick flash with some message, but it's so fast that I'm unable to read it. Today I upgraded my phone to latest branded orange LPH rom (ICS 4.0.4) and Samsung Apps is still not working. I thought that maybe I need to login to Samsung Apps, but when I try to do so I get following error:

What's that application manager? Any ideas how to make Samsung Apps working on my phone? I prefer to omit full wipe if possible.

I'm trying to get Galaxy on Fire 2 to work with my phone, SGS2.
Phone details:
Samsung Galazy SII i9100
Rooted
ClockworkMod 4.0.1.5
Cyanogenmod-9.1.0-galaxys2
Chainfire3D Pro v3.3, installed via CWM
Installed plugins QUALCOMM, NVIDIA, POWERVR
Default plugin selected: NVIDIA
I have hit Market fix a number of times, however I still can't pick Galaxy on Fire from search
I know I could sideload it, but I want to buy it, I haven't sideloaded any apps onto the phone and would like to keep it that way.
I have wiped the phone and installed Cyanogenmod yet Android Market still knows it is a "Vodafone Samsung Galaxy SII i9100" -- how do I remove the Vodafone tag?

I've updated mi S5 to Android 5.0 and now my gear fit can't sync. It shows this message: "Failed to connecto to your gear fit. Try to connect via Gear Fit in Gear Fit Manager..."I've tried to flash newwer firmware to the GF but it freezes I've downloaded it from Sammobile which is a single file. I've tried flashing it as AP and as CSC and it just frezzes and it's not installed in my gear fit. I've deleted and reinstalled several times the Gear Fit Manger and it doesn't work.
Do you know if there's anything else that can be done?
After installing a custom rom on my S5 (Omega 5.0.2) my GF Manager automatically upgraded to 1.117.* Previously, I got the connection issues on any version over 1.99.*
Try installing this one https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3q1mvfkrj8hva/Gear_Fit_Manager#pturglzg741lb
Which is 1.117.*
Same here

I have note 4 with lollipop and cant get to pair my gear fit either, have tried many versions of gear fit manager
Hello,
I have a Gear Fit (SM-R350) connected to a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F). I have downloaded and installed the latest Gear Fit Manager from this forum (1.125.0526). The problem is that a popup keeps telling me to install an update for the Gear Fit Manager and after the update the version of the Gear Fit Manager is 1.117.0306. After a while the popup comes up again and says that I have to install an update... (The same happened with the GFM downloaded from Galaxy Apps) The firmware is R350XXU0BOA2. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks in advance,
B.R.

Have note4 with android V 5.1.1 and have some problem.
I've cured it, (hopefully permanently)
I've uninstalled gear fit manager after force closing clearing data and cache.
Factory reset the Gear Fit Watch.
Reinstall gear fit manager.
Pair watch etc...
Have not received any update notifications relating to gear fit and manager for almost 2 weeks.....

Hi guys, I just bought a T-Mobile Samsung Gear S from a friend. My T-Mobile phone is rooted with AllianceRom. When I tried to activate "Use Remote Connection" it would tell me to sign in to my Samsung account. I pressed "ok". Nothing happened. I figured it was because I didn't have the Samsung Account apk installed (upon installing the rom it removed all Samsung stuff). Now that I got that figured out, I press "Samsung Gear Apps" and nothing happens. I went into my old apks but could find nothing that said Samsung Apps or anything like that. Does anyone know what apk I would need to install on my phone in order to get it working and start downloading apps to my watch?
Thanks in advance ?
Update: I figured it out yesterday. I went to the official Samsung site and downloaded the "Galaxy Apps" app and after that I have been able to download apps just fine ever since
