Does anyone know how to connect the Gear manager with the G Flex 2? I have the installed version from the playstore but it wont find my Gear S.. Is there a certain version I need to use to make that connection? I can connect my Gear Circle with no problem, but I need the manager to connect to Gear S for Shealth and the Circle advance features,
Or if there is a way to sync the Gear S with LG Health, I would try that as well.
Thanks in advance
I just paired my Gear S2 Classic to my G Flex 2 last night. For Gear Manager to see the watch for pairing you need to be in the bluetooth page of the settings app on the watch for it to be discoverable.
The play store gear Manger is for the Samsung gear s2 only. . If you want to pair your gear s1 you need to download the modded version of gear manager from the Samsung gear s forum from xda..

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.

Just like you failed. Somebody help me : (
I could connect my Gear 2 to my Samsung Core Plus SM-G3502T, but does not appear apps in Gear Manager.
Any suggestions?
Ps - do not have root for my device.

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!
Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow users to install Gear Manager on voice-enabled tablets like the Galaxy Tab S2 (SM-T815). Has anyone tried side loading the Gear Manager app on a tablet and pairing it with their watch? If so, have you encountered any issues?
yes. with sony z3 tablet compact

Hi,
I was able to get the Gear S2 connected with the Tab S2.
Rooted the Tab (SM-T815Y)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/root-cf-autoroot-tab-s2-sm-t3187202
Edited build.prop as per
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/help/connection-to-gear-s-watch-t3250831
Ro.product.model
Ro.build.characteristics
Then installed sideloaded Gear app ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/omenl6cndu4vivd/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager-2.apk?dl=0 , sorry lost the post where I found this link.)
hope this helps others as they helped me

Running that was updating the app, then loaded extra data (2) and got connected
I'm going to sell my S2, what's the best way to transfer apps and settings to the S3 LTE? Do I just add the S3 in the Gear App then uninstall the S2?
Thank you.
I just added new gear device. I still have my Gear S2 and the settings for it are still accessible.

Did you have to reinstall your apps?
Yes. I had to install my apps on the Gear S3 profile. In the galaxy app store i went to my apps, then all, then Gear. It showed all the apps I had loaded on my Gear S2. I was able to install everything I had on the S2 including watchland, even though watchland does not show up in the gear store anymore.
Hello everybody,
I've just bought a Samsung Gear S3 but I'm not able to pair it with my Samsung Tab 8.4 t705. I downloaded Samsung Gear app from Samsung Apps but it doesn't recognize my watch. Did anyone manage to connect it and can give me a help? Thank you
The Gear Manager app isn't compatible with Samsung (or any other) tablets. Yes, it sucks as that is the perfect companion device to the watch.

So it's not possible to pair the two devices....neither modifying build.prop file of Tab S or with another app? Thanks
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!
