I received a Nike Fuelband for Christmas. I was already well aware of the fact that Nike is creating lies to excuse themselves from easily writing an Android app for syncing. I like the device. Let's move on.
I happened to enable the band's bluetooth and synced it to my Nexus 4 successfully. There are no apps [currently] in Play Store that support it, but it is synced and ready to go.
Has anyone been able to transfer any data between an Android phone and the Fuelband?
Anyone have an idea where I can begin to look to crack the code?

1. Make sure your fuelband is off. Read the latest update here.
2. Throw your fist in the air, cursing the Nike brand.
I have a Fuel Band as well....
I should have went with the Fit Bit. Dammit.

Same, dudes. Got it for Christmas, mostly useless outside of being a watch with a built in pedometer. Sure I could hook it up to my laptop, but I shouldn't have to. Might return the thing even though it was a great gift idea...

Honestly, I'm surprised someone has not looked into how the fuel band transfers data to the device on iOS and then looked at it for android.
Surely with all the reverse engineering ways there are now someone could see what is happening when it submits data to iOS fuelband app.
I can also connect my fuelband to my nexus 5 but no support with any apps makes that pointless.

What's your main use for the fuelband? There's some cheap alternatives if you're not married to it, or willing to spend a couple bucks.
For some reason, after going into the Samsung App store through Gear Manager I cannot see an option to view purchased apps. My current GM version is 2.1.14062401. On my N3 I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 N900VVRUCNC4 (BeansTown106 6/18)

I hope not. I really like my G2, but I wish it were running android and I could flash something like Null rom on it. I loved Null on my G1...
True.

Anyone find a way yet? Bummed that I've lost all my watch faces including the ones I actually paid for when I upgraded my phone
Hello all. Does anyone know how I can properly sync S-Health with both my Note 3 and Gear 2? The pedo readings are incorrect on by the watch and the Note. Is there a way to sync it to correctly work with each other? Would using gear fitness work better then S-Health?
Just looking for recommendations . If not can I disable the pedo on the gear because the Note 3 seems more reliable

To me it seems the Gear2 is more accurate. The pedo in my S5 counts steps ever time we hit a bump while I'm riding the bus. I use mine when I run and I have also noticed the 'distance' is way off. I assume it's because the gear only counys steps and the phone goes on both steps and GPS. When my Gear 2 Neo says im at 3 miles, the phone says 3.25. But if you go into settings in the S-Health pedo app on the phone, you can change which device the app uses.

I agree with the other guy...but all in all the Gear 2 sucks in how it tracks and the user above said the Gear 2 is just off so not sure how the sync will help. I tried jogging using the Gear 2 and I run a set course I know the mileage and it is just off. I run with my Note 3 phone anyway in a nice arm strape for it and I just turn RunKeeper on and give me true accuracy since GPS. I miss my Gear with had RunKeeper app so I could control from watch.
I think regardless how you sync you will find the phone and watch just way off track on S-Heatlth with the steps/pedometer. Disappointing

Same here. I use C25K and map my ride/run and even 'tracks', they are all pretty close. As you said, I run the same route all the time and I know where a mile, 1.5 miles, 2 miles and 3 miles is and the gear 2 is off. I've since excepted the 3 mile mark on the gear 2 only because I'm trying to run about 3.2 or a 5k. But I know what the problem is I've noticed it when I run. Im 6"2' I run slow and take fewer steps than the shorter Koreans and pass them. In other words the they 'look' like they are running faster than me by the amount of steps they take. I look like I'm only jogging and I catch and pass them. So basically I take less steps in a mile than they do. I think if you could actually calibrate the gear2 with the input of your height in the profile, it would be more accurate.

Well my S-Health stopped recording my tracks anyway as of yesterday. Just stuck on 0
I couldnt find that setting in the pedo app, maybe because my S-Health is older than yours
Just downloaded it from the Gear app store, and seems to be working nicely from a quick glance. Didn't book a car yet, but it connected to my account, found my location etc. Also seemed to be working on 3g with the watch remotely connected to the phone (not via BT), which means it should work even if the phone isn't on you (though I'd totally test this for real before counting on it )
Annoying that you need a companion phone app even if you have the normal app installed on your phone, bit seems to work well.

Agree, though at least it seems to also work when connected remotely to the phone, so hopefully this means you don't need to have the phone with you for it to work.

I also can't find it in the store. Probably not available in every country...
I'm in the US though. My guess is the same Samsung-phones-only restriction that applies to paid apps also applies to free apps that support some kind of in-app billing - which Uber would have to, if it plugs into a separate app instead of the regular Play Store one.
I really hope Samsung fixes this soon.
Can't find Uber on Samsung Apps for S2. No matter paid or free apss. Samsung phone.

Hi everyone! Can anyone get the installation file from the Samsung App store and upload it here? it's possible?
Even with paid apps now showing up, presumably meaning everyone should have access to all the same apps, I still can't see the Uber app in the store!
Maybe the S2 sport and classic have different hardware numbers or something, and Uber did something dumb and only enabled the app for one of them? I'm on classic; any other classic users want to chime in with whether or not you can access the Uber app?
I'm on sport version and I still can't find this app in the store. News about Uber is fake? I didn't find any information about it but this forum

I tried contacting Uber support about this and they replied with instructions to download the phone app. Replied letting them know it's customary to read support tickets before answering them. Will update if I get anything useful from them.
Just switched phone from Samsung Galaxy Alpha to Blackberry Priv. Uber S2 app was available on the Alpha but can't find it on the Priv. Pretty annoying. Anyone else notice the same?
I can not find the app in Gear Store - Have a Gear S2 sport version - bought in Norway.
Uber responded this on twitter to me:
"@SimenPR Please note that the Uber app is only available for the S2 model."
Very little helpful in other words.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge..
nothing here - Gear S2 Classic + BlackBerry Priv
cant find on my phone
Not shown on the market in my country
Does anyone know how to get the installer and install it manually?
Hey all, Just got my LTE variant and have been fiddling around with it and have discovered some things. Wanted to post here and let people know what I've come across.
So far I have discovered:
-Gear works with Rooted Devices (at least with my Note 4)
-Samsung Pay from Gear works with Rooted Devices (Can't add my Discover Card yet, planned support for hopefully end of year)
-You DON'T have to use the default texting app in order to send/receive/reply to messages from the S3. So far, the apps I've found that support this are Google Hangouts, ChompSMS, Textra, and Google Messenger. It does have a few hangups though. This thread states the methods I used to achieve this and the hangups observed by doing this.
-You can control phone music from the s3, but cannot stream to it...yet.
-Gear seems to auto lock when removed from wrist. Unable to tell if it's based on the lack of heart beat or sense of movement. Not an issue, just making aware.
-Gear supports AOD (Always On Display). The type of display given is based on the watch face currently in use, so it would appear your watch face must have support for it otherwise it will default to a stock face (needs testing). Using AOD will shift pixels around to prevent burn in every time you go to wake the watch. Have lightly tested and can verify it shifts. Will be testing on my next charge cycle to test battery life and burn in potential (trying to test as much as I can within my 14 day period of which to exchange for another device (lemon law)
So far that's all I've come across and will update this page accordingly with more information. Please feel free to add yourself anything you have discovered so we can let the rest of our Gear toting brothers and sisters know these tips and tricks.

The Samsung Pay you use is a baked in app that is part of the Samsung Gear app. I have in installed on my rooted Nougat port on my HTC 10 and it works perfect. You don't need the official Samsung Pay app installed on the device at all. It seems as of now, that Samsung thinks the security on the watch is enough to allow you to use it side by side with a rooted phone. I hope it stays that way, because I have never been able to use Android pay because of the Root issue.

Did you keep the watch @Naturesretard?
I have bought the Gear s3 and would like to connect with my Samsung A9 Pro (sm-A9100), however, when I checked the passkey for both sides, the s3 and a9 pro keep connecting but no further....
Does anyone has such situation? and what can I do....
ps. My A9 pro was rooted and some defaulted samsung app were forzened before.

Yes I did. However have been very busy since getting it and have not had time to update the thread. I've tested a few additional features and even a skin from Skinomi to protect the watch. When I have time tonight I will try to update what I can.
What I can say now, the watch feels a little lackluster, but since it's my first wearable, and it works for what I bought it for (messaging/calling, Samsung pay) it works great. But there are time I worry I'm not using it to its potential or it's just in its baby phases and doesn't have many apps yet.

I just picked mine up a few days ago a and that sums up my feelings also. It's my first smartwatch and I've been wondering if I'm using it's full potential. I haven't been thrilled with the battery life but I have been playing around with it a lot and have only charged it a couple of times. Hopefully that will improve when I finally decide on a watch face that I can live with, I think I've changed the face a couple of hundred times.
Samsung Pay is available on S3, the only difference is that if you bought the BT version, it'll requires that you have the phone nearby for the 4GLTE to make the payment or such. If you have the LTE model and uses that, then you should be fine.

Correction, BT version can do 10 transactions without the phone nearby for Samsung Pay. After that, you need to sync with the phone to get another 10.
