Hey there,
Has anyone managed to pull the spotify package from the gear fit 2?
Sadly my phone died before I could install it from the store so i'd like to install it via SDB.
Thanks for your consideration

Have couple question about the apps supported by Gear S? If anyone has played hands-on in AT&T store or is planning too.... would appreciate some insight.
Essentially, will Gear S allow apps install from the Play Store, or we at the mercy of Samsung to decide what I can and cannot do, when I'm away from the phone?
Also, is Gear Manager just a routing/notification type software, and truly we can install anything on Gear S (whether thru playstore or side apk load), and when the smartwatch is far away (not in bluetooth range) from the phone... Gear Manager directs the AT&T tower to route the appropriate data to smartwatch.. as long as the app was installed on both smartwatch and smartphone?
Based on that AT&T fineprint pic... it seems, it will allow SMS/MMS/call and also email... does it mean I can install corporate email client from play store? and will it still work? Also, not sure about other apps.
If anyone has seen in the store... do you see the play store icon, or in settings option "to allow install from unknown sources"? Thanks in advance.
I did go to the AT&T store but the Gear S shut off.
I dont think you can install from the play store since its running Tizen OS not Android.
Thats all i now waiting for more info from Samsung.
That is a good question: is there a Tizen play store?
i to have same question as i m also planing to buy gear s ,.,. i want to have a calculator app as i did not see any sign's of having calc in it ,.,.
but i dont think that we'll have any authority to install any other app. and if this is the case than how good is moto 360 as it is an android watch ??
Is there a Tizen app store?
yes there is. You use your samsung phone to access it and then push the apps to your watch

Even though the watch has an Internet capacity?
Well this one might. I just know with the other samsung watches you have to use your phone to push the apps to it even though those have wifi on them.
Here`s a link to some Gear S apps.

iHeartRadio is not to be found among available apps in the Gear S manager, but when I install it on my Galaxy S5 via Google Play:
1) iHeartRadio sees that I have a connected Gear device
2) proceeds to try to install iHeartRadio on my Gear S
3) generates an error message about failing to install the app on my Gear S
4) proceeds to remove the app (!) from my Galaxy S5.
Both devices were configured to allow for external installs. I'm guessing Samsung wants to retain exclusivity for Milk, but I hope it doesn't mean they will also be blocking the release of TuneIn. I'm more of a news guy than a music guy, and I'd really love to see a streaming radio app land for the Gear S. Right now I'm making do by copying news podcasts over to my watch, but that's a pain.

Hm. Can you run a logcat on your phone?
Me too, have the same issue. Not sure if samsung is blocking it or if iHeartRadio is trying to install a version that is not compatible with Gear S (Gear 2?? - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer...ar-2-and-gear-2-neo-smartwatches-is-available), as a result pulling off both the mobile/ watch installations!!

I ran the logcat. The only thing that stands out is:
W/ResourceType(21464): Invalid package identifier when getting bag for resource number 0xffffffff

Can you add a little more? Need some context.
I installed the I heart app via Amazon app store on my note 4 and so far it seems to be ok. I didn't receive an error message after install and the gear manager didn't uninstall it. I will test this out for a day or two and let you all know if i run in to anything.
Ditto I installed iHeart from Amazon app store it stayed I do not have a iheart on my Gear S though not sure if I was supposed to have one or not
This is why I love forums. Thank you so much for the info. This worked.

I installed the Iheart app from the Amazon store, and it didn't install anything on my Gear S. Is there something I'm missing?
Is it still not working?
There is currently no fix for the gear 2, the app will only work on you phone at this time. I heart is aware of the issues and is working with samsung to get this issue fixed. Hope this helps.
I was able to succesfully install iheart on my Note 3 and Gear 2, when the Gear 2 came out. But on my Note 4 and Gear S, no success. Only option now is like whats already mentioned. And thats installing it through Amazon app store. That also wont install the watch app. But as a work around, you can use the media player on the Gear S to control the volume, skip songs, and pause/play.
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
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.
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...
