I use my Galaxy Note 3 (v4.4.2) to count my steps with the built in S Health Walking Mate. In the top right it has a sync button to sync with Galaxy Gear. When I select it, I get a message that says Gear Manager needs to be updated. It then takes me to Samsung Apps app where there is no option to update Gear Manager, it only says Open. I have Gear Manager 2.0.14041404 which I think might be the latest version.
Any idea how to get S Health Walking Mate and Galaxy Gear 2 to sync with each other?
Thanks.

After playing around with this for several hours I do not believe they're working together properly now. I think we shall have to wait for an update to have it work correctly. I even tried downloading S Health 3 and that did not work properly either. For the moment I'm using Fitness for gear.
I completely agree that there appears to be no connection between the up to date s health and the new fitness for gear app we are forced to install from the gear manager app. I also have been searching for a solution because even the fitness for gear application doesn't sync with the watch correctly. Actually, the app is awful, slow, dependent on the cloud for no reason and innacurate (why does it report different step counts than my watch, its only data source...). I really hope Samsung fixes the app, or s health or both ASAP. I am very upset the watch and our phone don't work in unison the way Samsung advertises it to. I am also very upset Samsung has no real customer service to complain to.

Has anyone else had issues with when you select the fitness part of gear manager and select any of the items (heart rate, sleep etc) it then asks to link with your Samsung account. After you select link it gives me a privacy policy but no I've read or accept button . There's nowhere to go from there . Anyone?

Mine works perfectly. One of the first things I tried on the watch was the heart rate sensor and I don't recall it asking be to link anything. I did have to set up a profile (DOB, height, weight, etc) and I did setup Gear Manager and logged into my account before playing with the watch.
Thanks. I went back and deleted gear manager and gear for fitness etc etc and when I RE did everything it worked.
you means that you can sync S-health with your GEAR 2, or you can just use it with fitness for gear.
I would like to use with S health because FfG sux..
No I was referring to the Fitness with gear app. I am still stunned that Sammy doesnt have it work (yet) with the standard S heath app. I just tried again and it says I have to update the gear manager, but I am already updated.
So today I got the new gear manager.. None of the update problems that people are talking about happened *knock on wood*
So my first action was to see what's new (Samsung apps, so helpfully, doesn't even have a what's new section), and I quickly noticed the S health option.. I went in, clicked sync.. It takes ages, and says it failed :-/
I thought I'll finally have this long awaited feature on my note 3...but seems no :'(
Anyone got it working?

Nope. That'll be one of the issues with it.
Fix

I fixed the issue on my Note 3 (rooted Jelly Bean) where the Gear 2 Neo was not syncing the with the S Health app. I had to go into settings > general > application manager. Then swipe to 'All' and I cleared the data from the gear manager apps: gear plugin, gearmodule, goproviders, hostmanager, samsung accessory service, samsung gear, sgproviders, sastsystemproviders, update gear software.
You may not have to clear data on all of them, just samsung gear, but I did anyways. Now my Gear 2 Neo syncs with S Health on Note 3.
Hope this is helpful
Hi,
Today my phone reported that S Health is not being synchronized (from my Gear)
When I check on the phone S Health app, steps shows 0 and none of the health apps are being synchronized.
On the Gear Manager settings, there's a S-Health setting button.
When I click it, S Health settings for Gear opens and automatic sync is selected.
But it is greyed out and I can't change it (to try off-on)
Also "sync now" button is greyed out.
What may be the problem and how can I solve this ?
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S5 and the gear device is Gear 2.
Has anyone noticed this on their device ?
Thanks.
anyone sharing same issue ?
Same here with the Note 3 & Gear 2
Same here with gear 2, and gear 1 on Tizen. It use to work with gear 1 on android. Tizen botched it all up.
I removed the data of Samsung Gear app and then repaired Gear 2.
It is solved now. I can select the "sync now" button.
Didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?
I changed my main screen to show the time and weather, and it says: tap here to use location info on mobile phone. I tap it but it does nothing. I am on a Galaxy S 5.

I had this issue on my GS6 and it drove me crazy. I ended up using D.M.A. Navi Watch instead. It shows the weather by default and when you're navigating somewhere it shows you directions. I was finally able to get the weather service to work with the stock weather watch face by uninstalling everything to do with Gear from my phone and reinstalling. I think the problem was initially with the WeatherProvider app, but it's one of the pieces of software that's installed automatically when you pair your Gear 2, so you have to uninstall all of the Gear software and let it reinstall itself when you pair your Gear again. It's a pain I know, but I don't know a way around it.

Samsung is such a jerk that it ruins something on purpose so that people will go and buy new one instead.
Beginning to think that the Samsung remark is on target. I spent over an hour on phone with tech - my belief that users give up and purchase new phone. However, it does not make me want to invest in Samsung tech when this happens.

Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy Gear 2 Neo. I unpaired my watch, uninstalled the Gear app on my phone and the other 3 apps it said would be uninstalled. I touched Pair in bluetooth to reconnect to my watch and go through that. It should start installing the gear app on the phone. Allow phone/gear pair. It took 3 tries for successful pair. This fixed my weather on the watch. Hope this helps.
Hi!
I just picked up a Gear S2 Classic last week and I'm liking it so far but I'm having trouble with S Health
First up, I'm using an Xperia Z3 with Android N developer preview, so I wouldn't be surprised if it just isn't going to work based on that.
I was able to install the app on my phone fine but I can't log in to my Samsung account - I'll put in my credentials and click log in, it'll load and go back to the main screen with no indication of being logged into an account. The app will also try to sync with my watch but nothing will happen. If I go into More -> Accessories then Gear S2 appears as an option but when I click it, it seems to want me to register but if I click 'register' the Gear app opens....am I supposed to do anything here?
As far as I've seen, neither S Health nor the Gear Manager app have been updated to support N Preview. That alone is more than likely your situation. Samsung was good to note when apps had been updated to support the M preview, more than likely because Marshmallow was being worked on for the S6/Note 5.
If you installed the update while connected, it's possible the software was reset or altered. You may have to go through the Gear App options to reconnect your watch. I do believe the setting is in the menu toggle on the main screen. You should be given the option to disconnect/connect new gear. Give that a try if you haven't already.
