Hi, I have a rooted THL 5000. I received a new Gear S2 but I can't use it with my phone. This is the problem:
- I enable bluetooth on THL 5000
- I installed Samsung Gear
- Samsung Gear app recognize S2 and they pair with the right passkey
- Samsung Gear app says it can't download (in italian: "Avviso Download non riuscito. Riprovare")
I can't go further. Any help?
Any hint? Noone can help? I've found a guide to installa Gear S on non samsung device but it doesn't work for gear s2. I don't think I'm the only one with this problem ...
You need 1,5GB RAM (Samsung says). I think the THL 5000 haven't.

THL 5000 have 2Gb RAM, custom rom with Android 4.4.2
I've found a compatibility list: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/gear-s2/device-compatibility/
If I modify build.prop using Huawei Ascend Mate 7, LG OPTIMUS G2 or Xiaomi Mi3 samsung gear should install, can you confirm? All them use android 4.4.2, have 2 GB ram and my same resolution display ...
Solved. I used a build.prod editor in my rooted phone, then edited build.prop changing THL in htc, restarted, then from Play Store, after Samsung Gear, I installed Gear Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service (NOONE said me to install these apps, why?!?) and then I can connect, accept EULA, etc. etc. (a lot of crash of Gear Plugin but now, after a lot of autoupdate and forced restart, it seems stable). **** piece of software !

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
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
So I bought the galaxy gear s2 thinking that it would work with the on5 but AFTER buying it*with a little digging I figured out that I wouldn't be able to pair*it. I am kind of desperate*because I'm not gunna*have much use*for the watch until I buy a new galaxy phone.*Not the mention that*fact that the galaxy on5*has all the correct specifications in order to use the watch which is 1.5 gbs of ram and higher than android version 4.2. Anything thing helps thanks. /////model num SM-G550T1
android ver 6.0.1 ////// Soft ver R730VVRU2BPc7 /////// Sm-R730V
Hi there and welcome to Assist,
Before using your Gear S2, you will need to connect it to a mobile device using the Samsung Gear application.
On your mobile device, download the Samsung Gear application by going to Google Play store or from Galaxy Apps. The application must be installed on your mobile device before you can begin the connection process.
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
Good luck
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.
Thank you very much for this perfect Thread. :good:

You can use alternative Gear Manager for phone with low memory (not meet Samsung requirements). I don't remember name of the app. Check it out in Google play.
