Hi guys,
sorry if i opened this thread and the question is already out there, but i couldn't find it on my own.
So i own a p9 Lite and a gear s, and i would like to use them together. I read in a thread that the gear manager app is now compatible with all the android devices, and that in order to pair the phone with a gear s you need to install the gear s plugin.
I did both of those things but i cannot find the gear s in the listed devices.
The funny thing is that i see it just fine in the bluetooth section of android...
So what i did is this: download gear manager, download gear s plugin, open the app and select "another device", since the gear S is not listed in the 4 categories.
Did i do something wrong? Is there some process (huawei services pops to mind) that is blocking the operation?
Thanks a lot!
Alberto

I want to get a Galaxy S4 with Verizon but I don't know if it will work with Gear S. I have a Gear 2 and plan to get a Gear S as well. Today I went to a Verizon Store and tried to install Gear Manager in a display model Galaxy S4 and couldn't find Galaxy Esentials or Galaxy Apps to download Gear Manager. I asked a rep there and he even tried to download the app in his personal Galaxy S4 with Verizon and nothing. Is it the Gear Manager isn't compatible with the Galaxy S4? Has anyone here been able to pair his S4 with a Gear S or a Gear 2?
Thanks

IIRC, Galaxy Apps used to be called Samsung Apps. Samsung just rebranded it recently. Launch Samsung Apps app on the phone and you will get updated to Galaxy Apps. The Gear Manager is still there regardless how the store names called. I don't have Verizon phones, so I can't confirm it.
I have a verizon note 3 and a t-mobile Gear S and paired them just fine. It is a bit confusing at first because I couldn't find the gear manager either. I went into Samsung Apps and didn't see it but it then asked me to upgrade. The upgrade ran and than Gear Manager was installed by default on my phone in the Samsung folder under name of Samsung Gear.
Thanks for your replies. Regarding the Verizon Note 3 paired with the T-mobile Gear S, can you use all the functions of the watch. How much do you pay to T-mobile month by month?
Yes, I can use all the functions of the watch. At least all that I tried so far. I pay them $15 a month.

Your Carrier should not matter anything Samsung S3 and up running 4.3+ will work fine. Demo probably did not work because it was in store mode/had a older firmware
I have an old rrrrraaaagedy Verizon Note 2 running a banging 4.4.2 ROM and you know what? The Gear S works with it like a damn dream. I may never need a new Note phone at this pace.
Why would you get an S4 instead of an S5 though ... eeeek.

Agreed. The S Health on the watch will only sync properly with S Health app on S5, Note 4 or Alpha. Older phones don't work. However, I found none of the Samsung phones attractive at all. I'd stick with my Nexus 5 instead

Not sure what is Cyanogenmod for Gear S. I assume it is full blown Android OS? Gear Manager only works for Tizen based OS running on Gear S. AW only works with AW OS watch.
Hi,

Check out "Notifications for Gear S". You can download it from the regular Google Playstore, and it allows you to answer texts/whatsap/viber, etc. I don't know if it will work with your specific phone, but it's only $1.25 I think, and does more than the native notifications do.
ETA: Sammy also offer it in their app store, but the dev says update cycles take much longer there.
Thanks for your fast reply xendula & _Dejan_ ,
I think that on android 5.0 don't work the "Gear Manager" because I follow step by step the instructions and don't work for me. When I open the app Gear Manager, this stopped with an error. I think that this error is produced by Android Lolipoop.
Tomorrow, I try with motorola moto g to view if it is posible work with this smartphone.
Thanks for all !

Yes Im pretty shure that Gear S will not work with 5.0 until some samsung phones will not have it stock and gear manager support it...
Hi all,
First post here. I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition phone I-9505G and just got the Gear Fit as a gift. I've been doing extensive research to see if the fit would pair with my phone. I am currently running Lollipop and the latest firmware for the Gear Fit (R350XXU0BNG2). I've downloaded the gear fit manager from this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/general/gear-fit-manager-patched-lollipop-t2965215
I still get an error Gear fit manager has stopped each time the moment I connect properly with my phone via bluetooth. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
On November 2014 I bought Gear S which i paired with my samsung galaxy s3 neo. Sometimes the smart watch stopped to work and I was able to reactivate the Gear S only after resetting it.
On 23 February after experiencing another arrest of the Gear s I downloaded from Galaxy apps the latest version of gear manager (2.2.14110499). After I have installed the gear manager I wasn’t able to reactivate my gear s although it paired with my galaxy S3 neo. In particular the gear manager is not able to download the additional software and I receive the following message: “Unable to connect to the gear. Connection to the gear is not supported by your mobile device…” Moreover just beneath the above message appear a writing during just some seconds stating: “Download url not available, can’t launchPlugin!”
What is not working? My gear s or the new gear manager?
Can someone help me? Thanks

I'm using Android 4.4.2
Hmmm. Well, in order for the S to be compatible with your Samsung phone, you have to have 4.4+, non-mod touchwiz, and the gear manager (and the supporting apps... Sam Store, IAP, etc).
Is it a custom ROM or stock? If stock, when was your last OTA update?

I think I found fraud. For some days now in the official Samsung website (at least in the Italian site) neo s3 is no longer listed among the smart phones compatible with Gear S. Is this behavior legal? I hope Samsung solves this mess as soon as possible.

Problem solved! I followed the procedure reported in another thread :"Tutorial: Install Gear Manager and connect to Non-Samsung Devices" and now all seems to work perfectly. Fortunately XDA exists. Thanks
Yesterday SHealth app became available for all android devices to prepare for Gear S2 to work on non-Samsung devices.
It works also with Gear Fit. If you have a non-Samsung device, you need to change a ro.product.brand line in build.prop to:
Code:
ro.product.brand=samsung
Now after reboot you should see all compatible devices in Accesories tab in SHealth. You need to have Gear Fit Manager installed and connected with your Gear Fit.
I have 5.1.1 stock Sony Xperia Z ROM with Gear Fit Manager from here and SHealth app always shows 0 steps in pedometer tab and doesn't get Sleep/Heart Rate data, but received weight info from Gear Fit. Maybe it will work on non-Samsung devices with another version of Gear Fit Manager or another ROM, you can try and write here.
Play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.shealth
Nope. Your solution doesn't works for me.
OnePlus One 5.1.1
What do you mean? If you don't see Gear Fit on Accesories list, try to change ro.product.manufacturer to samsung, ro.product.name and ro.product.device to zeroltetmo.
I have this configuration and Gear Fit is on the list:
Code:
ro.product.brand=samsungs
ro.product.manufacturer=samsungs
ro.product.name=zeroltetmo
ro.product.device=zeroltetmo
ro.build.product=zeroltetmo
zeroltetmo is the code name of Galaxy S6 Edge.

Ok, I saw all accessories but the fit manager doesn't pair with FIT now.
I get back to my original build.prop.
Hope Samsung will release an update soon for Shealth that allow us to fully sync with FIT.

Maybe this happens because you do have a Samsung phone.
Do you still have TouchWiz ROM?
I tried but it fails on my OnePlus.
Can someone else try with a not-samsung device?

yea i using stock touchwiz rom , but a3 does not support gear fit
so i use the patch version on xda , modify build.prob samsung to blablabla
TouchWiz is the secret.
I think this sync will never work on any other ROM unless samsung release a fix.
@garrax do u mean s health is working with a non samsung device when touchwiz is running?
is it possible to install touchwiz on htc one mini 2 ?

I had a look with google but the answer is NO.
Neither here on XDA. It seems it works just on samsung devices.
