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

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
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..

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,
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!
Hi guys, does anyone with a galaxy watch, active 1 or 2 want to help me to try to get the new camera controller app in the gear s3?
For that it is required to have a windows computer and any of those watches, in order to extract the app.
Thanks!
I think it would be better to ask directly here:
