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

Hi!
I like S health app on my Samsung gear S very much. But what can I do with data on my gear? Nothing. Because I don't own S5. It cannot be transferred to S4 Active or PC... Other sport app that I used to use (Runtastic), needs phone connection all the time. So what's the point hawing watch if you have to take your phone to a run anyway? What are the solutions for this problem. How can I synchronise S health to my mobile or PC? Any suggestions? I run Android 4.4.2 and S Health version is 2.5.4.168 and cannot be updated. It doesn't synchronize with my Samsung Gear S...:crying:
Hi there,
I see you already founded the right place where to ask.

Thanks, thread closed.
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
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
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.

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.
