Gear 2 Superfixer

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

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.

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

[Q] Migrating from Pebble to Gear 2: I need info on Gear 2 apps

Hi,
I currently own a Pebble Smartwatch along with a Galaxy Note 3 and I was considering buying a Gear 2. I have very little info about the apps of the Gear 2 and I would like to know if there are equivalents for the apps I use the most in my Pebble:
- Foursquare (a way to do checkin from the watch)
- Evernote (access to the list, very handy when shopping)
Also I would like to know if there is any Forex app for the Gear 2. Is there any limit for the number of apps to be installed (in the Pebble you can only install 8 and it is quite annoying)?
What are your favorite apps for the Gear 2?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers.

Foursquare there is an app called fithsquare that works great on the gear.
Evernote was an app in the original gear. So should be ported over soon for the gear 2.
Not sure what forex is. No right bite I have 14 apps plus all the stock ones. Not sure if there is a limit but I haven't run into any.
Favorite apps: simple Calc, ebay, glypse, qr reader, instant settings, gear alarm, fithsquare, smart ir remote, gear2cam, atooma, car finder, talking Goggles, wearable widgets, flesky messenger.
They are the ones I have installed. I have 5 shortcuts on the main screens for the ones I use most.

Samsung Gear s3 and apps (ios or android)

hi
i have just bought a S3 and i paired it with my iPhone 7
it's works pretty fine but i miss mail, reply to sms and so on.
so i looked into the app store and there are nearly Nothing in there..
i tried to connect the Watch to the honor 7 of my gf and there i can get much more apps!! like working hue apps, email, more faces and so on.
how can i get all this app from iPhone? and why the store is different? the device is the gear and not the phone !
i tried to download it from the honor then reconnect it to my iPhone but it restores the Watch before pairing and i don't know why but apps i downloaded from the honor doesn't appear in the "my apps" section on the galaxy app store from the iPhone
any idea how to solve this problem?
thanks

This problem cannot be solved from your side.
The problems are:
1. Some apps require a companion app, which only available on Android, in order to work. iOS will probably not have these as Samsung does not provide any SDK for devs to work on.
2. Samsung use manual filter for apps. A filter is like this: Gear S3 & iOS devices, S7 Edge & S3 BT and so on. If apps do not include this filter, they won't show up on your device. You can ask devs to include this filter if the apps are standalone.

Differences between Gear Fit2 and Fit2 Pro

What are the real differences between the Fit2 and Fit2 Pro? They seem like the same hardware and I thought I read somewhere that a software update allows the Fit2 to use offline Spotify playlists (this is a key selling point for me as I would use this often). If that's the case, besides being able to swim with the Fit2 Pro, what are the other upgrades?
Thanks.

GPS usable on Pro, not on Fit2. GPS is the biggest bug Sam cannot fix by firmware on Fit 2

The biggest difference i can seem to find is the "Gear Fit Manager" app doesn't work with the Fit 2 Pro. They have a a new app called "Samsung Gear Manager" which as far as I can tell, has no "Connected apps" section, and so third party apps that worked on the Gear Fit 2 do not seem to be installable on the Gear Fit 2 Pro.

Can't second that.
GPS works fine on Gear Fit2. I've ben running a few times now with the watch alone and tracking works properly. It even shows a small map of your track in the summery afterwards.
The Gear Manager does work with the Gear Fit2 but requires the Gear Fit2 Plugin, which is a separate app (both available on Google Play). You may also need the "Samsung Accessory Service"-App if you want to connect to a non Samsung device. If you want to sync your tracked data to your phone, you need the "Samsung Health"-App too.
If your device is "not supported" you have to get the Gear Manager Apps from ApkMirror or something like that.
It works fine on my LG G2.
The real difference seems to be the water proofing.
Gear Fit is IP68 certified, whereas Gear Fit2 Pro is IP6X certified and comes with some additional partner-apps preinstalled, which grant you free (for the first year) acces to some services.

I had gf2 for 8 months, for new year I got gf2 pro...it is same device with swimming possibilities and better strap.
Had no issues with gps on basic gf2 and I had more than 50 running sessions. Only slow sync time endomondo - > s-health

I got my fit2 pro now. I did some comparison with my ex fit2. Again I can say that: GPS on fit2 Pro is much better than Fit2, faster lock up - much more accuracy. That's why I said: usable on Fit2 Pro
The sensors to measure stairs also much more accuracy

The main difference between Gear fit 2 and Gear fit 2 pro that I can see to find is the gear fit manager app does not work with the Fit 2 pro. They have a new app that is known as Samsung gear manager.

Does anyone use endomondo for running on gf2 pro? Latest version installed, and today I couldn't lock on GPS...icon blink all time and no lock. I did 6.1km run where I'm getting 6.7km before with my old gf2. History in endomondo doesn't show any map from todays run, just data
Samsung health woark great with gf2pro and with gps I have no problems, fix cought in couple of seconds, but I like endomondo more.

New software for my Gear 2 neo

I have a very old Gear 2 neo. Is it possible to install a new firmware and make it more modern?

Please help me

Original Gear 2 works well. Not others OS or watch are really better nor Wear OS or all other limited OS in Fitbit or Garmin Watch. Even the new Gear S3 and up are really near of the very old Gear 2, I have also few apps that works in Gear 2 and not ported on recent model

Ok but after Note 9 update (Android PIE) I don't receive full text messages (Whatsapp and Telegram) but only notify. For me this is a problem.... and I want understand why...
