Last week I have buyed a Samsung Gear S2.
I tryed to install the Gear Manager on my phone Samsung Galaxy Pocket 2 (g110h) to become the gear s2 running.
Because my phone is not supported for Gear Manager (in play store) , I searched the internet for descriptions about how to download and install the necessary apk's directly on my phone.
I have not found any description for my phone but for other phones and so I tried and tried a lot of different apk's in different versions (Gear Manager, Gear Manager Stub, Gear Manager Plugins, ...).
At one time, my Gear S2 has become up and running. But because the displayed time on the gear S2 was not correct, I made a 'reset' on the S2 to try again. But since then I am no more able to become my Gear S2 running ....
Because I have tryed very very many apk's, I can not reproduce the same constallation on which the gear S2 becomes running ....
During my tries, I have also pushed a lot of times the buttons on the gear S2. Can this also have an impact, or is it possible to bring it running with only some button sequences ?
Has anyone an idea or a description which gear manager apk's (and in which order) I have to install on my phone to become the gear S2 running ?
Thanks in advance !
(sorry for my english, I'm a swisss-german ...)
Unfortunately your phone is not supported
Hello,
The proper place to download gear manager is from - apps.samsung.com/gear (go to this website from your smartphone browser)
Once you do go to that website, it will show you that it requires Android 4.4 (KitKat), and recommended RAM of 1.5GBs (which your phone does not have - You phone has only 512MBs of RAM)
Still, you can always try downloading from the above link and see if the gear manager works. (I highly doubt it will work, and even if it does, I doubt it will work perfectly)
Before you download it, uninstall any of the following applications if installed (go to settings->application manager->all apps) -
1) Gear Manager (Or Samsung Gear Manager)
2) Samsung Accessory Service
3) Samsung Accessory System Provider

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.

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!
Hello,
I try to get the "S Health" version 3.2 working on my Samsung Galaxy S4 active (GT-I9295) with Android version 4.4.2, because the old version is not supporting my Samsung Gear Fit. I downloaded the health version from:
Update for S Health (3.2.0.0014), Health Service, Group Play (3.0.200)
S Health & Health Service --->
Unpack the zip, Install S Health, Open it (it won't work), Install Health Service and finally re-open S Health.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I deactivated the original version on the S4 active (pre-installed) and rebooted the mobile phone. Then I installed the S Health and started it. I got a message that the version needs to be updated. The first time I ignored the message and installed the health service, but the software didn't run (message: "S Health was stopped"). Then I tried again. The message popped up again and I pushed OK. But next was an error message "Product not available (4002)". So I installed the Health Service afterwards. But the same result. S Health is not going to run.
The "fitness with gear" is also not running correct. It is not showing the history and the synchronization also doesn't work.
So please does anyone has a solution to get S Health running on a S4 Active?
I can check in a days time. My Girlfriend is running stock GT - i9295 with gear fit and s health
I think the solution for now if you have an s4 active and want your pedometer stats, go back to a 2.1 level of gear manager.
I think Samsung assumed most of their phones had a more compatible version of s health
Media fire links of gear manager:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager
Uninstalling all the new gear apps from applications, and there are a lot of separate ones now, installing 2.1.14071502, factory resetting gear and reinstalling fitness with gear got me back, but on any relaunch of gear manager attempts to update to the new version. I have an old gear plugin app open in recent apps and can still modify by that...
Samsung really overlooked the s4 active with the new gear manager update.

Thanks
Harald

Gear app is also running on my wife's device, but the history is not working right now. You only can see the data of today.
I got the gear fit running with S Health on my S4 mini, but not on my wife's Samsung S4 active and she is not very satisfied with the situation.

You will need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version and even freezing can sometimes create conflict.
You can try Super WizCyan ROM and install working SHealth 3.2 from the add-ons package.

Sorry... my bad, had forgot to update the link to the add-on package which is now updated, the add-on package also has the gear apps from S5 (not tried as yet, but you can give it a try and let me know )
I haven't seen any more recent posts on this. Does anyone know if there have been any new releases from Samsung or a workaround? My wife and I just picked up a pair of the Gear FIts. Her's works great on her S4. My S4 Active still doesn't work. I cannot get the latest version of Gear Fit Manager or the latest version of S Health and the version of Fitness with Gear I have will not sync with my Samsung account to preserve history.
You MUST NOT deactivate or remove old version.
So, uninstall new one, make old version work, than update from Galaxy Apps.

Just uploaded a new version of the super WizCyan ROM with the addon package.
You could give it a try if you would like to. The ROM is a slimmed TouchWiz stock with only basics & include active display & lockscreen notifications. You can get the latest version of shealth + gear manager from the addons package in post#2

Hello,
As it reads in the title I have the Samsung Galaxy SM-G900F with LineageOS 14.1 on it. And I'm trying to pair it with my new Gear Fit 2. I wasn't able to start the Gear Manager App from the PlayStore because of my OS so I edited the build.prop file in my system folder. That helped, but afterwards the Gear Manager App wanted to download the "Gear Fit 2 Plugin" App from the PlayStore which was "not compatible with my device" for some reason. The same thing happened with the Samsung Accessory Manager.
So I downloaded the gear manager stub, as well as Samsung Accessory Manager and Gear Fit Plugin from some link I found on this forum. Now when I try to connect my Gear Fit 2, the Samsung Accessory Manager shuts down and it just trys to connect but it's getting nowhere. I'm so frustrated right now. I even started thinking about switching back to stock firmware on my S5. But I definitely don't want to do that.
Can someone here please help me by explaining what Apps I have to install in what order to get this going? I would be very thankful for the links to those Apps, too.
Thanks,
Pixelloni

I found this article:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/samsung-devices-running-cm13-12-1-pair-t3290076
It's for an older version if CM, but should hopefully work for you.
By looking at the results, seems to be an issue with all brands of rooted devices having issues with Gear Manager.

I tried to use an older Version of Samsung Accessory Manager. That did the trick for me. But thanks for the reply anyways!
Hi everyone,
I just changed my phone (which is not anymore a Samsung) but I kept my Gear S2. Unfortunately, I realized I have no more the same full access to the Samsung gear store. I used to run with Pear Sports and I can't find anymore the app for the gear ( I found for my phone only). Pear Sport explain this is because the exclusive partnership they have with Samsung.
I desperately looking for this since few days already but can't find. So, my question is, where can I find another way to sideload all apps and install this Pear Sport on my watch again?
Thanks for your help!
Since the new update - march [EU market], I can't open the app store in the Samsung Gear application for my Gear S3. The application connects to the watch and I can see the information about Gear. I can't view or install any apps, which makes this watch pretty useless. It worked before the update. I bought the watch a few days before the update so I haven't made a backup of the apps and watchfaces I installed before the update (not sure if I could install them even with the backup since it'd probably require opening the store). I can't restore them and now I can't install them either.
Opening the store always gives this error on a white screen: {"returnCode":"0","errorCode":"0001","errorMsg":"System Error!-[0001]"}
If I try to open any category in the store (for example Health/Fitness), it says "No apps" instead of the error.
I've tried to fix it by:
- reseting Gear S3
- factory reseting Gear S3
- restarting my phone
- cleaning phone cache
- cleaning cache from Samsung Gear, Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service apps
- cleaning all data from the 3 apps
- uninstalling and reinstalling the 3 apps
- installing the previous (november) .apk versions of the 3 applications (Samsung Gear 2.2.16101261, Gear S Plugin 2.2.03.16111661 and Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.26_16116)
Information about devices:
- Sony Xperia Z3 (Android 6.0.1, up-to-date software, compatible with Gear S3)
- Samsung Gear S3 (model SM-R770, Tizen 2.3.2.3, software version R770XXU2BQC5)
Help fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
- Sony Xperia Z3 (Android 6.0.1, up-to-date software, compatible with Gear S3)

This looks not like Samsung handset...
Maybe try first to verify which device makes "trouble"... handset or gear or both...
Easiest way IMHO...
Connect Samsung device with your SM-R770...
No need to buy Samsng handset... maybe your family or friends or neighbar or closest seller.
NO joke.
Samsung do sometimes """funny""" changes to Software so all previous stuff render useless...
Maybe your Sony is now incompatible with BQC5 Firmware...
Btw.
