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!

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!
Hello,
I try to get the "S Health" version 3.2 working on my Samsung Galaxy S4 active (GT-I9295) with Android version 4.4.2, because the old version is not supporting my Samsung Gear Fit. I downloaded the health version from:
Update for S Health (3.2.0.0014), Health Service, Group Play (3.0.200)
S Health & Health Service --->
Unpack the zip, Install S Health, Open it (it won't work), Install Health Service and finally re-open S Health.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I deactivated the original version on the S4 active (pre-installed) and rebooted the mobile phone. Then I installed the S Health and started it. I got a message that the version needs to be updated. The first time I ignored the message and installed the health service, but the software didn't run (message: "S Health was stopped"). Then I tried again. The message popped up again and I pushed OK. But next was an error message "Product not available (4002)". So I installed the Health Service afterwards. But the same result. S Health is not going to run.
The "fitness with gear" is also not running correct. It is not showing the history and the synchronization also doesn't work.
So please does anyone has a solution to get S Health running on a S4 Active?
I can check in a days time. My Girlfriend is running stock GT - i9295 with gear fit and s health
I think the solution for now if you have an s4 active and want your pedometer stats, go back to a 2.1 level of gear manager.
I think Samsung assumed most of their phones had a more compatible version of s health
Media fire links of gear manager:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager
Uninstalling all the new gear apps from applications, and there are a lot of separate ones now, installing 2.1.14071502, factory resetting gear and reinstalling fitness with gear got me back, but on any relaunch of gear manager attempts to update to the new version. I have an old gear plugin app open in recent apps and can still modify by that...
Samsung really overlooked the s4 active with the new gear manager update.

Hi, this is good news. So there should be a solution. Can you look up what version of "gear fit manager" and "S Health" is installed and also the "Health services"
Thanks

Gear app is also running on my wife's device, but the history is not working right now. You only can see the data of today.
I got the gear fit running with S Health on my S4 mini, but not on my wife's Samsung S4 active and she is not very satisfied with the situation.

You will need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version and even freezing can sometimes create conflict.
You can try Super WizCyan ROM and install working SHealth 3.2 from the add-ons package.

Sorry... my bad, had forgot to update the link to the add-on package which is now updated, the add-on package also has the gear apps from S5 (not tried as yet, but you can give it a try and let me know )
I haven't seen any more recent posts on this. Does anyone know if there have been any new releases from Samsung or a workaround? My wife and I just picked up a pair of the Gear FIts. Her's works great on her S4. My S4 Active still doesn't work. I cannot get the latest version of Gear Fit Manager or the latest version of S Health and the version of Fitness with Gear I have will not sync with my Samsung account to preserve history.
You MUST NOT deactivate or remove old version.
So, uninstall new one, make old version work, than update from Galaxy Apps.

Just uploaded a new version of the super WizCyan ROM with the addon package.
You could give it a try if you would like to. The ROM is a slimmed TouchWiz stock with only basics & include active display & lockscreen notifications. You can get the latest version of shealth + gear manager from the addons package in post#2

Hi guys,
I just bought a Gear S2 and found out that Gear Manager and the other required software from the Google Play Store are not supported for the OPT.
I found a thread here providing the APKs in order to support the Gear S2 on the OPT, however it does not work for me as it failed when it requires me to download the Gear S2 Plugin.
Used a Samsung S4 to download the required softwares from the Playstore and extracted the APKs.
Hence I'm sharing them here for those who are in the same situation as me.
I have tested the APKs with my OPT and everything works fine.
Compatibility List as of 11 Oct 2015:
Oneplus 2
If you tested other phones that works let me know and I can update this list.
Required APKs:
Samsung Gear
Samsung Accessory Service
Gear S2 Plugin
Enjoy!
Yes finally can attach outside links!
Thank you!! This worked for me for my galaxy note 5!!

Yours is a Samsung. Should be able to download all the required software from the Playstore right?

I have an SM-N9200 on AT&T, and no matter what tried it wouldn't connect. No updates available or anything. Wish I knew what the issue was, but this fixed it.
The watch connected just fine with a note 4, it was very frustrating. Looks like from the reviews on the gear app in the Samsung store I'm not alone.

Great! Glad that it solved your problems.
Thanks for your effort. I tried these apps as well but still getting following error: 'The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again.'
I am on a custom ROM and rooted Note 2.
Do I need to install an official firmware or is there a way around?
Thanks.

I'm totally a newbie in custom rom and rooted stuff but the error seems to point to a unsupported rom or rooted device. I have no rooted device to test if the s2 works with it.
Is anyone having issues connecting to the gear app store within gear manager? I'm getting a white blank screen? Do we need the latest updates Samsung released to the play store? If so can you port them with your Samsung device?

It was blank just like you said couple of hours ago for me too. It works for me now. Try it. I did not do any updates nor was there any updates to apply.
There is updates for both the gear plugin and the gear manager. You won't see the updates if your on a non supported device. That's why someone with a supported device should continue to extract the latest updates and post them in this thread.
This was already posted by me. Reporting this.

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

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
Just got the one plus 6 but can't get the Samsung pay gear plugin to install. Tried to install the Samsung gear and apps via APKs and got error saying this device isn't supported!
Same for anybody else
FIXED: Latest version of samsung pay APK doesn't work.
Downloaded much older version and it worked like a charm:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-gear-1-5-6306-android-apk-download/download/
You might need to enable "install unknown apps"
You installed the Samsung gear app from the playstore? Are you rooted?
Same issue here. Not rooted. Stock Oxygen OS 5.1.5. Samsung gear app installed from Google Play store and everything seems to be working with the watch, it connects fine and shows notifications and such. Just try to open Samsung Pay on the watch and it says to open the gear app on the phone and install the Samsung Pay plugin. Click Ok and it opens up the gear app on my phone and then get the error as follows.
"Installation failed, try again later"

Im having sort of troubles..
#1 I had to install the apk for Samsung Pay for Gear but 3 times since launch my card was deleted, just like S-Pay was reset
#2 Samsung Pay doesnt show up in the Samsung Gear app on my phone, region restrictions? Beacuse I used the APK?
This is not working with the Oneplus 6 and the new Galaxy Watch ?
Hate to bump an old thread, but considering the OP6T in the next couple of days. Do you still need to use an old APK to get pay to work? And does updating it also break S-Pay? Probably going to stay stock at least for a while on the new phone either way, but it will influence whether I go forward with the OP or go with a Samsung instead...

The problem now is you can't get Samsung wearable app from playstore because it says "device not compatible". However, you can get everything from apkmirror. It all works fine.

I honestly am not sure about that. Can't say that I've had an update on the wearable apps that I recall... I do know that with the pay plugin, it updated itself when I started it up.
Ok regarding the question itself - my OP6 Worms l well with my Gear S3.
