Hi, I use a Note 4 and a Note 5, Sometimes I conect with an HDMI cable to a projector to see power point presentations at work. I was wondering if there is an app for the gear S2 That allow me to "Click Forward" and leave my cell away and conected to the cable.
Thanks for your time to read this post.
Hey,
I've managed to get an app on my watch that can do this from previous Gear APPs, it was called Gear Remote however it doesnt show up in the app store for the Gear S2 but it does work for it (managed to install it via App Download history in the Samsung App Store) there may be a way to externally place it onto your S2 if it doesn't show up in your app store. Their website where you download the PC Application to work in partnership is here:
http://gearremote.blogspot.kr/
There was an application called PC Commander as well that use to work on the Gear Neo 2 but I've tried this with the S2 and I think the application is either broke or just wont work (it asks for a 4 digit registration code, pc one is in letters phone asks for number and theres no way around it)
Hope this helps!
Is the APK available somewhere?
An app to control PowerPoint would be nice. (come on devs )
how to transfer app sdk to gear s2 externally? any way other than using gear app to install apps in gear s2? please help.. thanks..

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.

I think he means GEAR 2 SUPERFIXER (air.creatix.neoguide in Google Play Store), created by CREATIX DIGITAL.
It's currently listed at $8.99.
Description
Connect your gear 2, gear 2 neo or galaxy gear with any android device*
This app will help you with most connection issues of your samsung galaxy gear, gear 2 and gear 2 neo.
Also check "Fit SuperFixer" for samsung gear fit.
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. Cyanogen Mod Roms are likely to fail but some users reported it as working fine.
*Tested devices:
All variants of the M8
All variants of the M7
Nexus 4
Nexus 5
Nexus 7
Xperia Z Ultra
Xperia SP
Moto X
What works:
Notifications
Clocks
Find my Device
Heart Rate
Reject Calls
Media Controls
Watchface customizer
Pretty much everything
What doesn’t work yet:
No Weather
No music controller
No WatchOn
No SVoice
No Schedule
Pretty much anything that uses a Samsung Account or Samsung Services (this will be fixed in the next release)

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
I can't find anything on this.
So I'm trying to pair my Galaxy S5 with the Gear2 - it can see the Gear 2 on bluetooth, but there's no prompt to pair.
Gear Manager pops up an error message very quickly and force closes.
I don't particularly want to have to sign up with a samsung account and/or use their app store on my phone - is there any way around this?

i believe you need to have a Samsung app store account. how else will you have access to the thousands of great apps for the Gear 2 without one... lol, but seriously, no account no acess. there are few (if any) apps in android play store. Gear 2 runs on tizen, not Android.
as for the F/C, try uninstalling everything and try again. my Gear 2 paired up with my Note 3 right away.

I found a version of Gear manager as an apk download that runs, but you're right - what you can do with it is highly restricted.
I'm a little more privacy-aware than most android users, and as a result I'm probably not going to use the device much if it's locked to a corporate app store.

The apps download to your phone which transfers them to your watch. The only possible apps I can think of that might expose your watch data are fitness apps that transfer your stats back to the phone. Watch faces, games, etc. don't share any data but still, the only way to get them is through the Samsung App Store.
So I downloaded quite a bit of apps for my gear 2 from the Samsung store e.g. appy geek. They don't show up on apps and if I click on the app from the store, it says view app in gear manager, but just shows gear manager home page. Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Same here! Did anyone solve this problem? Sometimes I download and install an app but it isn't visible in my G2. And in this way, I can't even uninstall it, since the problem is the same mrsimpson described.

I could connect my Gear 2 to my Samsung Core Plus SM-G3502T, but does not appear apps in Gear Manager.

Check your device is compatible, as the connection of your gear to your phone would depend on your version of Android. Also check in the samsung apps (galaxy apps) store instead of the Play store
Anyone found a solution yet?
I managed to run my gear 2 on my htc one m7, i installed apps to my phone but it creates no Icon on my watch as it should...
Anyone knows how to fix that?
Rooting device / watch?

I have a VZW S4 (SCH-i545), running Hyperdrive RLS19 and a Samsung Gear 2 Neo (SM-R381), Samsung Apps v14040104.21.007.1, Samsung Gear v2.2.14110499.
I cannot seem to dl and install gear 2 apps and have those apps show in gear manager or on the gear 2 itself.
I even tried moving the apk from downloads to system >apps, but move fails.
The process shows the black, "save file" then "install file" windows, that take up the entire screen
In what folder are Gear apps supposed to be stored, for use?
ETA: So I changed phones. I am now trying the Neo with an S4 on MDK and the Bonestock 1.1.4 ROM.
Every app I have tried has shown on the Neo. Both Watcher and Watch Styler.
The issue now is that when I get out of range and the Neo disconnects BT, it does not auto re-connect upon returning within range.
With the other phone it auto re-connected every time, but most apps would show. GRRR!
I am gonna secure one today from BB. I looked at google play and cannot find a Tizen app that communicates with S2. Samsung phones have a gear app that will communicate with their watches. I looked up Samsung.com and could not find info.
How does one install tizen apps on Gear S2 watch? from the watch itself?
You will need to download the Samsung Gear app.

I'm using an LG G3 and I had to install the Gear Manager app from the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager
Once I connected my watch it prompted me to install a couple other plug ins and sign in to Samsung, but it wasn't confusing to get it going.
I have a Padfone S and the store won't let me install it. I had to download the APK from another APK repository to install it. Seems to work OK so I don't see why they won't let me download the app from the Play Store.
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.
