Hello to all. I want to install the APP Samsung Gear in my Le Max 2 (but I imagine that this problem it can have other models) and can't find any way of installing the app and that works (not even unloading the apk), has someone managed it to solve it?? In the web it puts that my device is not compatible (android 6.0).

Hi,
Since Samsung is not interested in open Gear Fit data to non-samsung device, even after install apks from Samsung device, I still cannot sync or store my fitness history on my nexus 5. So, I'm not talking about sideload apk to non-Samsung device here.
Gear Fit is just a bluetooth device, if we can understand the communication protocol between Samsung app and Gear Fit, we can create our own fitness app, and sync the data to anywhere we like, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. And maybe we can utilize the protocol to do something further than original Samsung apps. And it will also be possible to connect the latest Google Fit service.
Is there anyone hacking this Gear Fit device?
Gear Fit is not interesting device for devs and nobody is working on this device, because at the first place Gear Fit has only RealTime-OS which in not Android. And you can't do very much with it.
If you want to make app just read thread about Gear Fit SDK.
Hi i know this is old post but i anyone still searching it may be helpful.
i am using openfit app which can sync goolge fit data and other features like original gear fir manager.
so i can use my gear fit with my asus zenfone 2, easyly sync and track fitness data with google fit
I don't know if the same solution of gear fit2 fits to gear fit, but is extremely simple to connect the gear fit2 to a Non-Samsung phone.
You must download APK from Google Play (there are some service around) and install them:
- Samsung Gear
- Samsung Gear Fit2 Plugin
5 minutes and you have the same of a Samsung Phone.
It works like a charm on my Asus Zenfone 2.
Hope it helps

Yes, Gear Fit 2 is made to connect on ALL android phone (like Gear S2 and Gear S3) unlike Gear 1 & 2 & S & Gear Fit (1).

This is wrong. Samsung blocked installation of its programs into non samsung phones. I had to download them manually.

Wrong, I have Fit2 on my Sony Z5C and Samsung Gear Manager is on Google Playstore for all android phone (RAM at least 1.5Go)

Hi,
I've written an app which I tested on my Nexus 7 (2013,stock), Nexus 5 (stock), OnePlus One (stock cos12.1)and the emulator without any problems. It also works on a Xperia Z3.
However, two friends of mine are using a Samsung device and both tell me that the app is immediately force closing.
Since I don't have any Samsung device for testing, I'm currently out of ideas on how I can check what's causing those force closings.
The app is compiled for a minimum sdk of 19 with the Android Studio and I'm using one main activity with different fragments.
I hope someone is able to give me any hint about what may cause the force closings (I can provide more information if needed)
thanks in advance ,

Hi everyone, I was super excited to try out my new Gear Fit 2 (ordered from Best Buy in the US), but heartbreakingly it will not actually connect to my phone. I am on a Galaxy S 6 running the original OS, but the tricky part is that it is from a Japanese provider (DoCoMo). It did not occur to me that the Gear Fit 2 would not work with this phone, but it will not sync with the required Samsung Gear App. The app downloads (I don't know if it matters but I retained the US version of the app store so I could keep my puzzle and dragons profile). The phone can see the watch, and they do the fun Bluetooth pin exchange, but then the app throws an error message that says "Check if your device is compatible and if the app needs to be updated" and then the process won't proceed any further. I have factory reset my phone, uninstalled my old Gear Fit and old Gear Fit manager app, reset the watch, all to no avail. I contacted Samsung customer support and they told me that since I am on a Japanese S6 they can't help me because they are US customer support, instead providing me with a useless link to the Japanese Samsung Products page. I know the GF2 has not launched in JP yet (at least through DoCoMo, but I can't believe that my new toy is absolutely useless. In other news, all of this fiddling around made it so that the old Gear Fit Manager app will not connect to my old Gear Fit anymore so I am now using a 3rd party app which is not quite the same. Any advice is appreciated, otherwise I guess I will ride this out until the GF2 launvhes here and maybe an update will e forthcoming.
PS: there are two reviews in Japanese in the Samsung app market for the new Gear App. They are both very bad reviews stating that the app will not connect o their various devices.
Idk. Just sad and wanting to vent.

Can you install the Gear manager app for non-Samsung phones to see if that works?

I tried to find that app, but the only one that shows up in the Google play store for me it the one for Samsung phones and when I Google the link for the nonsamsung device app, it shows but when I follow it, the play store still redirects me back to the samsung version. I DID try to use a 3rd party app with the Gear Fit 2, but it still wouldn't maintain a connection. Thanks for the response though.
I find myself in the same boat as you - very very frustrating. I researched the compatibility, and based on the specs they SHOULD work - no good reason that they wouldn't. Sooooo frustrating!!!
Finally got it running on docomo galaxy s5 unrooted
Here's how
1. Install 'Samsung Accessory Service' (apk search and download)
2. 'Gear Manager' Installation (from the Google play)
3. 'GearFit2 Plugin: installation of (apk search and download)
Did it in this order and it worked.
Enjoy
Thanks Tony!
I was using a Galaxy S6 edge from Japan and had these problems, and manually installing the accessory service and fit2 plugin worked like a charm. Was on the phone for 2 hours with Samsung's customer service and got nothing.
Hello All!
I have a samsung Gear S SM-R750.
I use an application on my android phone, XDrip +, to monitor the blood glucose of my 7 year old daughter ... I can not pass this information to the clock.
my Gear S is running Tizen
I tried installing the wearable widget on the clock, but I could not. It does not appear in the galaxy store anymore to download. in the part of the cell I installed and configured, but in the clock I could not. apparently samsung no longer supports this application for this version of tizen that run on Gear S.
Anyone could help, have any tips?
I tried installing the wearable widget using a .WGT but I did not find it to download.
another option I'm thinking would be to install android Wear on the clock, but I could not confirm if using it I'll be able to use the clock to receive information from XDrip +
thx
Hi Everyone,
I need some help or suggestion from anyone who experienced or fixed the above issue. Browsing different forums I could not find any suitable solution for my particular case.
I cannot install the Galaxy Store apk on my device because when I launch the app the system says that my "device is not compatible with the Samsung Galaxy apps". This app was actually working in the past (only if launched from the Galaxy Wearable app menu) but now after the recent updates to make ECG and BP working again (thank you Dante for the excellent efforts and job done) this Galaxy Store app no longer works.
The reason why I need this application is that I want to buy watch faces for my Samsung Galaxy Active 2 (on Tizen O.S.) and using the Google Play Store app I can only find Watch faces for Wear O.S. that are not compatible with my watch. I have installed "Watch Maker" and "Facer" apps and, at the moment, I am buying watch faces from there, but the Watch faces I am interested to buy are only present on the Galaxy Store app.
Anyone able to help? Thank you.
Stefano
Hi again,
I just found a solution.
I have uninstalled any version of the Galaxy app store previously installed so that now there is no Galaxy Store app installed on my phone.
However this app already exists "built in" into the Galaxy Wearable application menu and launching the Galaxy app store from this menu fix the problem as the app will start and work normally.
Cheers
Stefano
