Hi all,
I have a problem ưhen I connect my HTC M8 with an gear s2..
Ít stuck on Connecting to Gear Screen.
My phone can pair easy with S2 but it stuck in Gear manager app.
Can anybody help me?
Tried reinstall Gear app and restart my fone thousand times.
Would like to bump this.
I'm facing the same problem with my Note 4 (910C, 5.1.1, Rooted) and Gear S2 Classic.
Tried every possible solution that comes to my mind. Would really appreciate if someone comes up with a solution

You have to install 3 apk from google play:
1. samsung gear
2. samsung gear plugin
3. samsung accessories service
It works with my Xiaomi Mi4.

I have my Samsung Gear 2 paired with my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active and when I go into the app store it only shows around 55 apps. I took it into Best Buy where I bought both and talked with the rep there. His S3 paired with a Gear 2 Neo showed all of the apps. Is there any workaround or fix for this? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Galaxy app store and the Gear manager, re-flashing the S5, and factory resetting the Gear 2. Any help you guys can offer would be very appreciated!

Load up a build.prop editor from the play store if your phone is rooted and change the phone model to a G900T which is a regular S5 , there are a few threads out there covering how to do this. For some crazy reason Samsung hasn't figured out that their app store sucks really bad and it's apps will work for Gear 1 and Gear 2 with all versions of the note 2,3's and all versions of their S4/S5's. It seems the store checks to see the exact phone model and if the developer of the apps hasn't listed your exact model, then it won't show. Samsung has become a lost cause. Luckily for us though we have XDA and some work arounds. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply,I haven't rooted it yet but I'll try it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get more than 55 apps to show up lol
Okay, so towelroot doesn't currently support the S5 Active, or so it told me when I mashed the "make it ra1n" button. Looking for another rooting option.
Edit: Found a rooting solution! http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776
Got everything working and good to go!
How do I connect the Samsung Gear 2 Neo to my Nexus 6P?I don't want to use the Android wear port simply because I want to have calls on my watch working. I've installed the Samsung Gear app from the Google Play Store but it doesn't find my device. Please help.?
It has been stated many times all over this forum that it's not possible to synchronize a non samsung MM phone with a gear 2 running tizen. If you want to have calls on your watch you should buy a Samsung, quite simple.

I decompiled the gear manager app from the Google play store and it has a lot of strings about the gear 2. I don't understand why would they even bother about that if they don't want you to connect it to the phone...
I got my Samsung Gear 2 (Camera + IR) watch when I had my Note 4. I sold my Note 4 hoping to use the Gear 2 on a non-Samsung Android phone but was bitterly disappointed. I was told the Gear 2 needed to be paired with a Samsung Phone.
I still like the Gear 2 because of the Camera & IR. I am upgrading to a Note8 soon. I just want to confirm that the Gear 2 works with the Note8, else I will probably add a smart watch to my order (I hope to just keep the Gear 2).
Anyone successfully paired and using the Gear 2 with the Note8 and getting notifications on the watch?
Thanks in advance for your response!
Yes, my Gear 2 (flashed to run Tizen) works with my T-Mobile branded Note 8. Pictures taken with the Gear 2 upload automatically to the Note 8. I'm not sure what you may be referring to by "IR." The watch and phone pair with Bluetooth and there is no Infrared on the Note 8. Let me know what you're after and I see what I can find.
IR refers to the Infra Red remote control on the Watch. I have stock Tizen running on my Gear 2 so I want to use the Infra Red remote on the watch.
I see my local phone stores have the Note8 on display for customers to demo. I will carry the watch to the store and see if it could pair successfully to their Notes and I can see notifications. Hopefully I can signin to my Samsung Account from the demo phones in the store... and hopefully I can remove everything after.
Yes, I had forgotten about the IR function and app on the Gear 2 as I don't use it. The Note 8 does not have any IR functionality, but I can't imagine that the Note 8 will in anyway interfere with that functionality on the Gear 2.
Yes, the Gear 2 is dated. However, it's the camera and it's convenience (especially when traveling) that keeps me hanging on to it!
I have the Gear 2 and the Note 8 phone, and can say they do pair just fine. Most of the watches functionality works as normal, but since the Note 8 phone has Bixby, and not S voice, no voice input on the watch works at all. This is just Samsung abandoning their tech like always, because the S2, and S3 got updated to work with S voice onboard the watch, because of the lack of the app on the phone.
I have a rooted gear 2 that I had been using with my LG G4, I just got an unlocked Note 8 and I have been having trouble pairing it. I've been trying to do it through the Android Wear app, should I reset it and try again through the Samsung software?

Not sure if you're running Android or Tizen. I upgraded to Tizen when it became available from Samsung.
Never tried to pair with the Android Wear app. However, when you pair the watch with a new phone you have no choice but to factory reset the watch.

I'm using Tizen, however my phone doesn't see the watch at all and neither does the gear 2 see the note.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Install the Samsung Gear app on the Note 8
2. Enable Bluetooth on the Note 8
3. Startup the Gear app on the Note 8 and begin the pairing process by selecting "Connect new Gear"
4. Factory reset the Gear 2 and wait for it to finish resetting.
5. You may need to restart the pairing process in the Note 8 Gear app if it takes too long.
Good luck.
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.
I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly

Hello, I have a gear fit 2. But I can't do anything with it! I've got a Galaxy A01 phone and it keeps telling me the Galaxy wearable app is not compatible with my phone. I can't use wearable widgets, watch face apps, anything! Can anyone help me please???
I guess Xda forums is dead? That's two threads I've made that got ignored.
