Hallo,
i have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Cyanogenmod 13. Now I have a new Samsung Gear Fit 2 and I want to install Open Fit.
I search in bluetooth the GearFit2 and found it, pairing it.
The I install OPenFit from Google Playstore.
The device will be found, But OpenIt can not connect to the GEarFit2.
Error message "connection failed" (in German "Verbindung fehlgeschlagen" )
What should I do now?
The Samsung Gear Manager work, but not very goog. I always get the message "Gear manager is stopped".
Any ideas?
Thanks
Roland
Same here just a note 2 cm 11 or 12..

How is the solution?
Gear Fit2 works on any phone with original Samsung apps, so no need to search alternate Fit manager
Install Gear Manager from the store + the Gear Fit2 plug-in
I use my Fit2 with my Sony xPeria Z5C.
If you are running a custom rom that labels your phone as an international version it will not work. My wife is using the note 2 but the rom is making it seem to the gear app that it's int'l.

I have installed the Samsung Gear Manager with the plgin in for Gear Fit2, but this works not so good:
Always the message "Samsung gear App stopped"
I have a Samsung mobile phone, but no Ssmung App on it, only Samsung Gear Manager with plugin.

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.
Hi,
After the last update for Gear Manager (october 3, 2015 for me) my Gear S do not connect on my S4. Just previous day all is right. All broken after update. Same for my Gear 2 and my Gear 1. Trying to reset the Gear 2 but same issue.
Trying restoring previous backup and when launched the manager download automatically an update and after Samsung Manager app delete all my phone app with a Gear part. So delete :
- Wrist List (shopping list for phone and a part on Gear)
- Todo Gear
- Any list
- My Notes in Gear
- Gear notes
- GearTask
Counter for Gear
Samsung uninstalled all this app from my phone. So no watch and lost also android phone app, totally incredible, thank you Samsung.
Any one with issue after update ?
Same with me. My note 4 got ota 5.1.1 and update latest gear manager. Now it wont connect to my gear s.
been a week not works, remains only 51 weeks to wait
With Nexus 5, I uncheck auto update from Play Store, uninstall app from Titanium Backup then install old version and it works.
With Note 3 no problem (but Note 3 is simlock :/)
Gear Manager is not a PlayStore app
but even after a restore of an old app it not works again.
On "Galaxy Apps" I have the "Auto Update" unchecked but even with this when youn launc Gear Manager it start an update automatically.
You have a Samsung mobile, on other devices you can see it on PlayStore.

Gear S and also Gear 1&2 are only compatible with some (not all) Samsung device
Sadly I have the same issue after a forced update of gear manager app. Note 4 doesn't connect anymore to my gear S... I tried to un install the app from phone but it's not working. I made a wipe cache partition via recovery it's not working too...
Anybody is having the same issue than us ?
Help would be appreciated
Nothing new. I tried to uninstall all samsung modules and reinstall all from Galaxy Apps Store, factory reset my Gear 2, launch manager, it found and pair the Gear 2 but when it start the manager connection it was unable to connect the Gear, it stuck on "Connect...." screen......
Incredible that Samsung phone can not connect to Samsung watch
We must wait maybe one year before Samsung correct this issue, but probably not have a Samsung phone or watch in 1 year
Has anyone found a fix for this yet? I'm currently experiencing this issue as well.
Simplest best answer, sell all your samsung stuff (phone too) and get a LG (phone) and Urbane 2.
Problem solved no more Shady Shenanigans from Samsung breaking their sh!t just in time for the release of the S2 and trying to force users into a unwanted upgrade.
Forget this having to wait 51 weeks for them to fix a problem they caused and created, as big of a company as they are they should fix it immediately, but they DGAF about it or the customers.
More power to LG!

Samsung's now used planned obsolescence card.
I can't believe I used to think so highly of this lowly company and recommend them to everyone who asked.

I am trying to pair a Gear S, to a rooted android, when I download the Samsung Gear app from the play store and open it, it says that " The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your system and try again." is there a way around this or another app that I can used with my rooted phone?
Any ideas?
You need to change how the Play Store views your phone by editing the /system/build.prop file to make the play store think your phone is an HTC. It will then deliver the correct version of Samsung Gear app.

Hey guys, I use a Xiaomi Redmi 1s running ParanoidAndroid Rom on Android 5.1.1. I installed the Gear Fit Manager and everything seems to be working fine, except some apps like Gear Fit Share or Gear Fit Flashlight, which on running the app say that the "Manager is not signed" or "Gear Fit Services not installed". Could you guys please help me on how to patch the apps to make them run?
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...
