hey folks,
i just got my new sony sw2 and was wondering if the following is possible:
i want to use my sw2 as an extended display for my sony xperia z running oruxmaps (or any other software, that is able to shout gpx-routes).
i already found "GPS Maps for SmartWatch2", but it only has navigation features.
my idea is to wear my sw2 when im mountainbiking as a navigation-system (it´s enough to have a simple map, my route and a location indicator).
any ideas?
regards,
bla
Theres a gps map on the playstore

Hi,
I got my gear 2 this morning and was looking to use it with my Sony Z. I found this app in the market ' Gear 2 Superfix ' . After installing the app it connected perfectly. Nearly everything works apart for weather and a couple more things.
There is an update for the gear manager (2.14041404) but am unable to install that yet.
Also in my gear manager i dont have Samsung Apps iether.
Anyway on the whole im happy it works on my not rooted sony z.
I'd be pleased to here from anyone who als uses this app. It cost 7 euros.
Regards Ant

I think he means GEAR 2 SUPERFIXER (air.creatix.neoguide in Google Play Store), created by CREATIX DIGITAL.
It's currently listed at $8.99.
Description
Connect your gear 2, gear 2 neo or galaxy gear with any android device*
This app will help you with most connection issues of your samsung galaxy gear, gear 2 and gear 2 neo.
Also check "Fit SuperFixer" for samsung gear fit.
Simply use the Fix button and you will get simple patches and instructions on how to fix your connection, the app detecs your phone model and checks for compatibility, some device may not be supported, but most of them work flawlessly. Cyanogen Mod Roms are likely to fail but some users reported it as working fine.
*Tested devices:
All variants of the M8
All variants of the M7
Nexus 4
Nexus 5
Nexus 7
Xperia Z Ultra
Xperia SP
Moto X
What works:
Notifications
Clocks
Find my Device
Heart Rate
Reject Calls
Media Controls
Watchface customizer
Pretty much everything
What doesn’t work yet:
No Weather
No music controller
No WatchOn
No SVoice
No Schedule
Pretty much anything that uses a Samsung Account or Samsung Services (this will be fixed in the next release)

It's promising to know that there are options if I choose not to get a Samsung phone down the line.
Real advantages?
If anyone played with this app, could you, please, post if this app has any real advantages over the free methods, specifically in the following areas that have not been working otherwise:
Weather
SMS, Email and Phone Call history browsing (I'm not talking about notifications, I'm talking about browsing previous text messages, emails and phone call history, please, be specific about it)
SMS and Email composition using S Voice
Receiving phone alarms on the watch
Fitness apps requiring GPS support (biking and hiking)
Also, the screenshot included with the app on Google Play suggests it has a way of rooting the Gear 2 (not the original Gear!) watch. Is it really the case?
I can't make it work with Samsung Note 8.0

I bought it and installed on Note 8.0 GT-N5100, I am able to establish the Bluetooth connection with Gear 2, I can sync the Address book and call out form Gear 2.
But in the Gear Manager, it only shown paired and I can't connect it. so I can't do or configure anything.
No need to purchase this app for the Note 8.0. The Note 8.0 with KK is fully compatible with Gear 2 (you just need to sideload Gear Manager). The only thing that does not work is the gear samsung app store access, but superfixer does nit fix that either...

Decided to take one for the team and test it. It seems to just have you download a slightly different version of Samsung's Gear Manager. But when I go to pair the device with it on my Galaxy S4 it just stalls out at connecting. (it could possibly be working idk) I will post screen shots of the software and what has you download. It might simply be my cyanogen 10.2.1 preventing it from working. Upgrading to cyanogen 11 to test.

thl 5000
Hey guys,
since I got my new phone the thl 5000 I can not use my gear 2 neo.
On my former phone the HTC one X I could use it with a rom.
The thl 5000 has android 4.4.2 and bluetooth 4.0 so why can I not use the gear.
Has somebody an idea maybe Superfixer.
Thank you
Hello guys.
I'm trying to install some interval timer apps to my Huawei Watch 2 but almost every app I get en error that "this app not compatible on your device." But these apps compatible all android watches. How can I fix it?
I'm using an iPhone.
Thank you!
I overcame similar issues by OTG sideloading apk using adb. There are instructions on how to use the adb proceedure all over Google.
Apk of the app u want can normally be found on apkmirror.com or similar site.

Try "Timerro - Interval Timer" on play store work with Wear and also Tizen watch.
Are you using the Play Store on the watch ? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think anything on the Apple Store will automatically download to your watch, so you'll have to use the watch's Play Store to get your apps.
Hi all, I hope im in the right place for this... just bought an S3. Is it possible to download watchfaces found on the Google App store? I have an iphone running the Gear S app which is very limited. If i browse the Google store from my computer there are some great looking watch faces but i have no idea how to get them over to my watch. Do i need to sideload them somehow?
Thanks in advance.
No. face and app only in the Gear Galaxy app store.
Other apps

"Facer" and "WatchMaker" lets you create, buy and import numerous third party faces.
Check out some marvelous smartwatch groups on Google communities.
Hi guys, does anyone with a galaxy watch, active 1 or 2 want to help me to try to get the new camera controller app in the gear s3?
For that it is required to have a windows computer and any of those watches, in order to extract the app.
Thanks!
I think it would be better to ask directly here:
