I have my Samsung Gear 2 paired with my Samsung Galaxy S5 Active and when I go into the app store it only shows around 55 apps. I took it into Best Buy where I bought both and talked with the rep there. His S3 paired with a Gear 2 Neo showed all of the apps. Is there any workaround or fix for this? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Galaxy app store and the Gear manager, re-flashing the S5, and factory resetting the Gear 2. Any help you guys can offer would be very appreciated!

Load up a build.prop editor from the play store if your phone is rooted and change the phone model to a G900T which is a regular S5 , there are a few threads out there covering how to do this. For some crazy reason Samsung hasn't figured out that their app store sucks really bad and it's apps will work for Gear 1 and Gear 2 with all versions of the note 2,3's and all versions of their S4/S5's. It seems the store checks to see the exact phone model and if the developer of the apps hasn't listed your exact model, then it won't show. Samsung has become a lost cause. Luckily for us though we have XDA and some work arounds. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply,I haven't rooted it yet but I'll try it out tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get more than 55 apps to show up lol
Okay, so towelroot doesn't currently support the S5 Active, or so it told me when I mashed the "make it ra1n" button. Looking for another rooting option.
Edit: Found a rooting solution! http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776
Got everything working and good to go!
Is there a way to make my device think it is in korea or connect to the app store to download a game? I have a Samsung Tab 2 10 inch and a S3, the only other thing I can think of is someone is in Korea if they could download and then send me the apk. I am slowly leaving these devices but I really want to try this game. Thanks for the help.
I have ordered a Gear S2 Classic and will get it in a few days. I know I can pair the watch to a non-Samsung phone. I have an HTC One M8. However, is it possible to access the Galaxy store to purchase new faces from a non-Samsung store? Any workaround?
Thanks!
I have a Huawei phone and use the relevant store (from the Gear Manager) without any issue. There may not be any issue for you at all.

Thanks! I understand that I can get free faces on the store, but can you get paid ones? Thanks.
I've done it on my M8 and my HTC 10, so yes.

Thanks for the replies! I received my Gear S2 Classic yesterday and was able to buy a paid watch face, so yes it worked. I had read on several places that only free faces and apps could be downloaded from the Galaxy store but, thankfully, this is not true anymore.
I found that the Samsung Gear Manager app does not always connect properly to the store and I had to reboot my M8 a couple of times but otherwise it does work.
Thanks again to GodzillaMonster and Gamesoul Master for their replies!
This thread can be closed now. Cheers!
Has anyone had any luck getting their S3 to run the Drone Mobile app? It is currently only offered to iOs and Android Wear users, but thought maybe I'd get lucky and find someone who has gotten it onto their S3. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
There's a "wearable widgets" app in the play store that will add it to your watch. I tested it out a little last night but it doesn't seem super reliable or smooth.
So a couple days ago I went into a Verizon store and was looking at smart watches when one of the reps told me that the Galaxy watch works with pixel 3 now. I guess there was an update with one UI that allows the watch to work with other Android phones. So I decided to buy it because it's a sexy watch in my opinion. At first we had trouble getting the watch to activate cellular. But after talking with tech support it works just like an apple watch now. Calls go through the phone and watch at same time with option to answer either. Notifications and emails work perfectly. The screen on this watch is very good. I was also able to get Samsung pay set up on the watch just by using the Galaxy wear app and it installing a Samsung pay plugin for the watch. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone else was thinking about this watch and pairing with pixel 3.
I am using Galaxy s3 from beginning, I mean it's support andriod and iOS out of box. One UI give more user friendly

I can't get the gear wear app to install. Not compatible in play store and when I install from apk mirror keeps freezing. I'm trying to use gear S3 watch. Worked fine on op6t. Any help appreciated
