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.

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

How could I get RunKeeper on my Gear 2?

So, I've recently received a Galaxy Gear 2 for my birthday, and I've read up on it. It seems as if the app selection is very, very small. However, I had my eyes set on one particular app: RunKeeper. I got my hopes up after reading an article on RunKeeper's website about its integration with gear. However, after connecting it with my S4, I scoured the gear appstore for RunKeeper, however I could only find Runtastic, which I definitely DO NOT want to switch to. Does anyone know how to download runkeeper to my gear? I do not want to have to run with my phone in my pocket.

Easy, just update the tizen into Android and then install Runkeeper - simple: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/help/qa-porting-android-to-gear-2-t3018159
EDIT: install the android wear first, then google fit and only after that, runkeeper. Just tested it out.

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.

Gear S3 app store?

Is there a way to look at the App Store for the Gear S3? I read variously about '10000 of faces and apps' but also about limited apps. So I'd like to see what apps are available.

You can browse the App Store through the Samsung Gear app.

it is more like "10000 of faces and some apps", there are really too many watchfaces since there is a easy to use designer (http://developer.samsung.com/gear/design/watch-designer) but app section is indeed limited.

Don't be fooled by the numbers, there are probably less than two dozen apps by major developers. The vast majority of apps are watchfaces. Tizen has relatively small library and that is likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future.
If you're concerned about app selection, the S3 isn't for you. The key to not being disappointed is to think in terms of what tasks you want the smartwatch to perform, and making sure the watch can do it.

Best Samsung Gear S3 Apps and Games are below including latest best apps for Gear S3 by Under Armour:
-Endomondo App
-Map My Run app
-MyFitnessPal App
-Uber App
-Fruit Ninja Games
-Sleep As Android App
-Glympse Location tracker Apps
-White Light and Here WeGo App
-Find My Car App
-Flipboard News Briefing App
-Gear for Nest App
-Pear App
-Camera Gear App
-Samsung S Health App
-Rolling Hams Game
-AwayYouGo App

I have one of these and it really is a beautiful watch and feels like a quality product. It also works really well. HOWEVER, just as evryone else is saying, the APP Store is VERY limited ... which is a shame given that Samsung have done such an excellent job on the watch. Why they didn't include a Compass; I have no idea. Also, why they (or someone else - "Here Maps" ???) have not brought out a REAL standalone Mapping App I feel is a HUGE mistake. Even if you could only download a 50sq mile area and keep that updated (or change it when you travel) it would make a huge difference to the watch. Anyway, great watch ....

Main problem is Tizen Eco System with only Samsung in position of playing "God"...
Blabla only trusted blabla "Authority" bla blabla...
Dear user, According to Tizen security policy all the apps should be from signed trusted authority. Tizen does not allow any side loaded app and any other format installation as a policy. All app installations supported via Tizen Store only. Stay tuned on Tizen community for further updates. Thanks, Tizen team

On the other hand...
Users are scared to sideload apps...
I mean we have this funny situation with Mobiles more then 4 years...
Examples.
Video Calling apps are generally blocked...
Funny contracts with 'Operators in my opinion... to get more money...
imo, Skype, etc. are working fine with help of ACL...
Cool apps known from Android world... like TCP IP stuff...
not allowed...
Shell not allowed...
They are scared users can do tooooo much...
Btw...
I have just for fun edited my old S8530... bada handset... to enter Gear S3 or S2 store...
I am able to download TPKs... because they use same mechanism since years...
And I have no Gear watch.
NO idea why they force users to use Gear Manager... to explore the big "big" world of Tizen...
Tizen Store and also Gear store is simple Server... "HTTP crap"...
No idea why they not allow to use Computer and visit Website to check whats new.. or amazing...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Added 2 Screenshots...
Taken with my good old Wave II (GT-S8530)... with old Kona Version...
No idea, 3 years minimum or older...
Only added Model SM-R760 to .ini :angel:
I can not see all, but few...
Samsung do some minor changs to their Shop site... but in main it is ever the same SH.T...

I think that reply, and the others in this thread, miss the point. In order to use the "Gear App" you have to have a Samsung Gear watch to pair the phone to. Otherwise the app will not run.
I believe what the OP was asking, and certainly what I want to know, is.... is there a way to browse the "many" downloadable watch faces BEFORE you buy the watch? That would require some sort of online access to the download site WITHOUT using the app..
Can anyone answer this? I'm considering buying one of these, but I don't like ANY of the faces that come with the watch, so I'd like to see what's available for download before buying the watch.
Thanks in advance.

I have the Frontier, and I love it. Just remember...it is a WATCH....not a tablet of computer. The available apps are more than enough for my needs, and the watch looks like a watch, which is more than i can say about Apples kiddy/candy looking effort IMHO. Battery life is now excellent, and it feels like a quality product.

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

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.
