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

Gear S2 App store missing watch faces on Galaxy S7 Edge

Hello everyone, I'm running into a weird issue with the Gear App store. When I had my Gear s2 classic paired to my Galaxy Note Edge, I was able to see the Snoopy watch faces and some of the Gear O'Clock watch faces as well. I could download them and use them on the watch with no problems. I just got the AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge yesterday and paired my Gear S2 classic to the phone. But when I go to the Gear App store, none of those watch faces appear at all. They don't show up when I search for them using the search feature either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager plus factory resetting the Gear S2 Classic as well. When I pair the watch back up to the Galaxy Note Edge, the same Gear app store lets me see the Snoopy and Gear O'Clock watch faces and download them with no troubles. Any idea whats causing this?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that Samsung forces developers to manually update their apps to support the Galaxy S7 lines. The mentioned devs haven't done so. Samsung may do it for them shortly, but if you want to get those apps/faces quicker, just contact the devs and ask them to update. I received several emails about this issue from S7 users on launch day, I went ahead and update all my apps and everything appears again

I used GWD to create my face(s). What do I need to do to "update" my faces?

You just submit an update, but instead of uploading a fake new binary, switch to advanced mode and select s7 in the compatible device list, then note that it is a description update only => submit. Takes some hours to go live

Gear S3 and Nike+ Run Club

Does someone of you has the Nike+ app running on his watch?
I'm not able to get the app working with the gear s3, just as stand alone on the phone.
Many thanks for you help.
/Pallett

Afraid it was pulled a while ago. Not available on the S2 either. Unless you manually install an older version. There is a guide somewhere on here I think under the S2 section.
They pulled it I guess due to the tie in with Apple Nike+ Watch

Longun,
many thanks. Can you recommend any other running app available for the gear s3?
Manx thanks,
/Pallett

I contacted the nike support and this is the answer that gave me :

I'm afraid not. At the moment I'm stuck with S Health syncing to Strava, but only when it fancies it as sometimes it doesn't upload my runs.

This is a game changer for me. Was starting to question this devices ability as a running watch. If Nike+ comes it at least gives it a little more credibility. Ok it'll never be as good as a dedicated running watch but S Health is so bad its untrue.

Still no update from nike....

That's unfortunate. Hope they fulfill their promise soon....

I contacted them again just before Christmas. They confirmed to me it was coming back as well but no ETA. At least it looks promising.

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for being a part of the Nike+ Community! It's a great platform for tracking your running performance. I understand that you would like to be able to use the Nike+ Run Club app for Android with your Samsung Gear S3. Allow me to assist you.
Joseph, as of our recent update, the Nike+ Run Club app is not available on the Samsung Gear S devices. However, we have heard your feedback and are planning on bringing it back in the future. At this point, our development team has not offered any specific time frames for this deployment. For now, you can continue to track your runs using the Nike+ Run Club app on your Android device.
Please let me know, if you have any further questions or comments. I will be happy to help you.

Yes, but that can mean any time in the future. Let's keep hopeful... Thank you for the update!

S-health results to Nike+
I have discovered a way to sync S-health results to Nike+ so you don't need to have the nike plus app on your wrist.
Requirements:
1. Nike Run account.
2. Garmin connect account.
3. S-health app.
4. Gear S3 (if you really want to leave you phone while you're running).
5. Internet connection (lol).
Steps :
1. Nike Run Club has a partnership with Garmin Connect. You can go to partnership in NRC to connect your Nike to Garmin Connect.
2. In S-health app, you can export your run to .gpx which can be imported to your Garmin Connect. So after you have completed your run, it will be recorded in S-health (after the data from Gear S3 synced). Then, export it to .gpx.
3. Login to garmin.connect.com (please request the desktop version), and after that you can find '+' icon on top right corner and select 'import'. Then import your .gpx file.
4. Open Nike Run Club app and refresh the activity, your run data should be there (synced).
It might seem complicated but I find it easy and simple. At least we have a workaround to stay in Nike Run Club with data come from the gear.
Hope this diagram helps in understanding how it works :
S-health-----GPX import to---->Garmin Connect<------Synced to------NRC

Nike added Gear S2 functionality back in two weeks ago. Has anyone tried it out yet?

Still not available on the gear app store.

Where can I get the Nike app for direct download? Surely the old app could be made to work on the Gear S3?

Still nothing?
It does not feel like its coming.

Hitherto only the WearOS version was released and is available for download...

Two months on is it worth purchasing?

So I initially bought this watch on release and unfortunately had to return it due to massively overspending that month. I only had time to have a quick play with it but I loved the screen and the look (Classic) and am now really tempted to repurchase.
One thing I did note at launch was that the selection of apps was pretty woeful, basically everything was a watchface and there wasn't even Spotify, Uber etc. at least not in the UK app store. Has this situation changed at all? Is there any way of seeing a list of current available apps?
Secondly, one of my main reasons for buying would be tracking distance, pace and calories for runs using the watch as a standalone - can anyone tell me how reliable this is and if it works well?

I will post here what I have already said elsewhere on the Gear S forums, because it's relevant to your question,
People complain about there being more watch faces and not enough apps on the Galaxy Store...
well firstly there are hundreds of apps on the store! but just how much do you expect to be doing on your watch? I mean essentially it's for time and date function, relaying of notifications, messaging, call taking/making, health tracking, weather, news and navigation. All these functions are covered out of the box.
So what are you expecting? Microsoft Office? Minecraft? Photoshop? Hello... it's a watch!! and considering that you will be looking at the time more than anything else on the watch, having a huge choice of watch faces is not only a GOOD thing, it's essential!
Now I have downloaded various apps:
Voice Memo
Guardian News
Speedometer
Gear Navigator
Calculator
Cooking Timer
Xenozu (YouTube videos)
Spotify
Gear Browser
Flashlight Premium
Brrr (disconnect warning)
Yelp
Stopwatch
Timer
Hangman
And you know what? I hardly use any of them! So I wouldn't worry about the app situation.
Also, Spotify is available in the UK
and S-Health will track your performance and upload to your Samsung account, so it will sync with your phone(s) when reconnected.

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.
