I got a galaxy gear as a gift from somebody who didn't know that you can only access most of the content for the gear on a Samsung phone; i have the LG g4. I can still use it for basic vr stuff in the play store, but I want to get the full experience, so is there anyway to flash a Rom if the gs6 or gs7 os onto my LG g4 so that my device recognizes the gear and downloads the gear hub (or whatever the app that launches the gear vr menu is called)?

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.
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
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:
