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.

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!
where i can see gear s2 store apps? i want to buy it, but i want to see all apps
You have to pair a Gear s2 with Gear manager to see all the apps. There really isnt many apps out for it yet.
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

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
Hello everyone, I'm running into a weird issue with the Gear App store. When I had my Gear s2 classic paired to my Galaxy Note Edge, I was able to see the Snoopy watch faces and some of the Gear O'Clock watch faces as well. I could download them and use them on the watch with no problems. I just got the AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge yesterday and paired my Gear S2 classic to the phone. But when I go to the Gear App store, none of those watch faces appear at all. They don't show up when I search for them using the search feature either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager plus factory resetting the Gear S2 Classic as well. When I pair the watch back up to the Galaxy Note Edge, the same Gear app store lets me see the Snoopy and Gear O'Clock watch faces and download them with no troubles. Any idea whats causing this?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that Samsung forces developers to manually update their apps to support the Galaxy S7 lines. The mentioned devs haven't done so. Samsung may do it for them shortly, but if you want to get those apps/faces quicker, just contact the devs and ask them to update. I received several emails about this issue from S7 users on launch day, I went ahead and update all my apps and everything appears again

I used GWD to create my face(s). What do I need to do to "update" my faces?

You just submit an update, but instead of uploading a fake new binary, switch to advanced mode and select s7 in the compatible device list, then note that it is a description update only => submit. Takes some hours to go live

I try to use samsung Health app for iphone with gear s2 for months. The embedded version of shealth in gear S app is very basic.
The full version of Shealth for iphone does not support gear s2.
I am able to sync only once and i don't know how.
Anyone know how to sync gear s2 with shealth for iphone (the full standalone app)?
Meanwhile i'm trying mapmyrun for iphone. It has a native app for gear s2 and seem very complete
Unfortunately I do not think there's a way. If you want to use the standalone application from Samsung Helth, you'll need to synchronize Gear information with your Samsung account whenever you're ready to see something.
Samsung Health only gained integration with the upgraded watches for Tizen 3.0. What we have left is to give 1 star and post our indignation on the page of Samsung Health in the App Store.
That's exactly why it comes out of a Galaxy S7 and I bought an iPhone 8. The Apple Watch 1 edition is updated to this day, even though it has a hardware inferior to Gear S2. I never buy any Samsung handset again.
