Hi all,
I just got my gear 2 today. I had the gear fit for a few hours and it worked seemlessly with my note 3, but i traded it in due to wanting the extra features on the gear 2 and one of those features is the ability to install apps. However, for whatever reason, the apps i select in the samsung apps store and install, either give me an error after most of the process is done, or they install and dont show up anywhere in gear manager or in apps on the phone.
I did reset the watch once already, and i am going to try again, but any ideas? I would be very appreciative.
I have a note 3 rooted running Jedi Elite Rom
it may have something to do with it being on samsungs home firmware tizon, so there maybe issues installing android apps to non android hardware

It's not android apps that I'm trying to install, it's the tizen apps from the Samsung app market, the ones that gear manager specifically directs you to.
Mine works flawlessly on my S5...maybe some of the apps are not meant for the note 3.

i agree. i think that us poor Verizon N3 folks that dont have Kit Kat yet are missing some functionality. hopefully now that S5 is out they will release it to us since everyone else seems to have it on their N3's
I have a tmobile note 3 and it is on kit kat. The apps for the watch are tizwn, but they work with the Android version of the app on the note3. The apps install fine on the phone, but the watch portion of the install gets install errors.

I was having issues on my Verizon Note3. On AndroidCentral someone posted a fix using this link. Worked for me. I can't post links yet so head over to their forum and search for Gear 2 and install.
It seems to revert to the "other" blue app store, but worked great.
Good luck!
I had the same problem. Spent hours figuring it out. It has something to do with either samsung apps or samsung hub on your phone. I had made SA into a user app to hibernate it with greenify, and I had hub frozen. I ended up having to reinstall my rom and not touch either of those apps. Then apps installed fine on my gear.

I am re-installing my rom right now. jedi elite on the note 3 gives you the option to not install certain stock apps during flash, i must have chosen not to install hub and other samsung stuff, so maybe that is my problem. I will report back when i know. thanks!
I was just installing gear manager and it gave me a notification that I needed to set my phone to allow installation of unsigned/unknown apps, which i always have set anyway. However, I noticed this time that there was a checkbox that said "Allow initial installation of application only". I wonder if that specific thing was blocking samsung apps from installing apps on the watch somehow.
I got it to work, i guess it must have been an incompatibility with my Rom. I downloaded the stock rooted deodexed rom and installed that, now the apps are installing on my watch. Thanks for the help!

It should be compatible. I'm running Wicked Kk on my note 3. Glad you got it working though

No problems here. Btw apps aren't installed on one of the home screens but under "apps" (should be on one of your homescreens on the gear)
Clocks show up under the clock settings. I assume that you know all this.
Just in case.

The nexus 5 works with the Galaxy gear 2.
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/yo17ta4qyrx50zj/GearManager1_2.apk
Install it like a regular application, DO NOT unzip, just install and follow the steps inside the app
Can you download additional apps on there? I dont see Samsung Apps option in my gear manager app on nexus 5
If it works perfectly with the Nexus 5, I'll be going to Best Buy shortly.

Dont, no way to get apps other than what is installed there. non-touchwiz Samsung Apps apk does not show anything when you open it.

I can confirm that the Gear Manager software installs on the HTC One M8 as well, and that you can get all notifications from the phone on the Gear 2 Neo.
However, I haven't tried getting apps on the Gear 2 and am not (particularly) confident.

I have had some limited success installing apps. I got the sleep one to install (b4 they took it off the market) and a clockface. But any others I try just download and give me the app failed to install. (news feeder and the 360 one) everything else is working on My gear 2. Not a huge deal now as I am just testing it out, there are no good apps out yet. But I was trying to get it straight before the avalache of awesome apps starting coming in im sure here real shortly right. Anyone had similar issues?
I never had the gear 1 or followed it, how long before we got root and cool support/apps for it. anyone know? Of course this being one of the first Tizen products I would expect it to take longer.

For some reason, after going into the Samsung App store through Gear Manager I cannot see an option to view purchased apps. My current GM version is 2.1.14062401. On my N3 I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 N900VVRUCNC4 (BeansTown106 6/18)

I hope not. I really like my G2, but I wish it were running android and I could flash something like Null rom on it. I loved Null on my G1...
True.
I guess that Samsung wanna "push" her Tizen against all the world ...

Anyone find a way yet? Bummed that I've lost all my watch faces including the ones I actually paid for when I upgraded my phone
all of a sudden I can't get into the gear apps anymore tonight and this error comes up. anyone else see this?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk.
so i did factory resets, i un-rooted etc, and it's still doing it. i'm pairing it to my TAB S now to see if it'll work there...
sucks bc now i can't download apps at all.
wellp, it works on my Tab S and i can get into the store no problem, but it seems like my Note 4 is the issue, which makes ABSOLUTELY no sense because for 2 full days it's been working and i've been downloading apps, and now all of a sudden it decided that the Note 4 isn't compatible. WTF.
same here my friend Just started doing it !! With you describing the same issue I believe this is a Samsung issue and not something we have done.
whats up guys!! just solved the problem!! i was having the same issue. it has something to do with the security updates.
so to fix it go to application manager and find security policy updates under the ALL tab. and unistall updates. this will then let you back into the gear app store :good:
Same issue but no security policy updates app.
I have the same issue. Was working fine this morning and my device isn't supported now. :/ I also don't have a security policy updates app in application manager.
It fixed itself.
It works now.
I'm so mad I wiped my device and unrooted then rooted again lmfao. now I'm on tizenmod 3.0 though and the store works. nice. thanks for the heads up guys!

I have a Note 4 (US version) and am having no problems. Sounds like something changed in your setup. Did something change your build.prop file setting ro.product.model? Sometimes people change that. Running any type of app or xposed module that spoofs other apps?

NOTHING changed in my setup and some days it works, some it doesn't and I get the dreaded message. Samsung really needs to get their sh!t together or else they will soon find the answer to the question "why Apple is MUCH better in terms of user experience".
it's a Samsung server side issue. probably the same reason so many apps weren't available on the note 4 but were on every other device like s5 and note edge lol

I have a S7 that will be replaced soon and I rather have a OP6 than a S9, but it has to work with my Gear S3 and use all it's functions like Samsung pay, phonecalls, Samsung health. Also that the Bluetooth can handle 2 Connie tons at the same time like bt audio in my car/Sony bt headphones.
all exept samsung pay will work. having op6 or s9 to decide, i wouldn't even consider s9..
Haven't tested samsung pay but everything else is working fine on mine.
I get my op6 Tuesday, and one of the first things I'll do is set up my gear s3. I'm really hoping Samsung pay will work. According to some initial research, it's seems possible. Lots of mixed results. I'll definitely come back with some results next next week.
I have a Bluetooth Gear S3 classic and an OnePlus 6. Everything works (Samsung pay included) though I had to use apkmirror to download the Samsung Pay (gear plug-in) app.

Yeah looked like from what I read you have to have the "plug-in" app, but I thought you could get it from the playstore. Did it not show up in the playstore?
Edit: now that I think about it, it's all done through the Samsung gear app. However others have had the same issue where the plug-in fails to install. In which case the solution is as Dennis says above.
yeah I don't think Number Sync will work but via Bluetooth it will, My Gears S2 works so the S3 should be fine via Bluetooth

It was not on the play store for me, but apkmirror is run by the Android police guys and is reliable. They even show when the signature for a file is the same as on the play store (which it is for everything I've come across).

Been using my Gear S3 (Frontier) with no problems at all. Works very well thus far - enough to get me to dump my Apple Watch finally.
Now to find a way to replace the stupid 1+ phone app and this is a keeper for sure.
I have a 5t and a gear s3.
Everything works fine calls etc. Samsung pay is the hardest to get working. I had to install the apk from apk mirror. Also if yous ever chnage roms use titanium backup to backup every samsung app and its services or the watch will need to reset itself.
Btw if u root. Use magisk hide to hide all the samsung apps.
Fyi use google messages so u can reply on the watch. And if u can/want use googles phone app.
Thank you for all your input!
Now I can go agead and order the phone:good:

Hey mate. I tried installing this on my oneplus 6 , the apk file installs fine but when I open it I get the following error message.
''Unable to continue using samsung pay, your gear may not be supported.''
Was it the oneplus 6 you managed to get this working on ? or was it a different model.
Cheers

I got that message too and several errors trying to reach the server but eventually it'll work. Try uninstalling samsung pay plugin, gear app and factory reset on the watch, then download both apps on the phone, pair with the gear app, when you install the smasung pay plugin using the apk, tap on update and then add your cards
I hear that it's better then it was but still can be flaky. Just gotta play some games to get it to wrok right I guess. Gonna wait for the new S4 watch that is ditching Tizen OS and finally going with Android Wear OS.

OnePlus 6. Find the 1.5 apk and install that.
Worked for me. Newer versions tended to give me errors like you did.
Been using samsung pay for the past month successfully. Extra bonus, the 1.5 apk has limited compatibility with the samsung gear app unlike later versions. A nice bonus is if safetynet fails(ie: magisk failed to hide it), samsung pay on the watch still works flawlessly.

I don't know if Samsung pay will work or not because I have a rooted op6 phone, and I know it doesn't work very well with rooted phones. I finally just broke down and bought a Galaxy S5 for 75 bucks on eBay and I have it plugged in at home 24/7. I used to set up my watch and Samsung pay and since it's a Samsung phone it works 100% over the internet. Non-samsung phones require a Bluetooth connection with their host phone to work with all of the features. So my Samsung phone at home connects with my gear S3 watch over the internet no matter where I am. it works like a champ for me and I'm not having to wipe my watch and reset it up every 3 days because I'm messing around with my Op6. I have been thinking about trying to get at work I'm going to be 6 just for grins and if I do I will report back here lol.
I have been using the gear S3 frontier with the op6 from the beginning, I've had the phone since launch, and everything works 100%.
Use magisk hide so Samsung pay works on one plus.
I have the Gear S3 Frontier with a Oneplus 6T that just arrived yesterday.
Everything was downloaded and installed by the Google Play store.
It works just like it did on the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
Now I'm wondering if Samsung Pay will detect if I root or not. I did not take this chance on my Galaxy Note 5
