I have a Gear Fit2 Pro and cannot find the right app to connect to it. The display says I should get the Samsung Gear App which is said to be available on App Store for non Samsung Android phones. I have a Note 4 running LineageOS but the app is said to be not compatible with my device. Does it mean you cannot run a Gear Fit2 Pro with any Android device?

why not side load the app that you need and see if that works??
Sideloaded App refuses to start saying the operation system was modified and not "authorized". Why the hell won't this kind of app just run on any android?
Try this:

Works great on my HTC 10. I've read that Samsung users on Lineage can use this too.

Thanks. Poor user experience to depend on a modified software version.

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.

Just like you failed. Somebody help me : (
I could connect my Gear 2 to my Samsung Core Plus SM-G3502T, but does not appear apps in Gear Manager.
Any suggestions?
Ps - do not have root for my device.

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!
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

Running that was updating the app, then loaded extra data (2) and got connected
After installing the official Gear Manager for Ios (Iphone), I had to resett my Gear.
Of course all previous apps were deleted. One was HERE WeGo.
After reinstaling all apps I could not find the app HERE WeGo any longer.
Is it out of the store or only as a paid version?

I have the same problem with many apps , i think there is 2 possibility first it's maybe because of iPhone version of gear app and the second one it is maybe depend on region of your watch
but before ios paring, do you paired your watch with Samsung or android device ?
Same issue.

Same exact issue here. Did a reset on the Gear s3 in order to switch from Beta to the officially supported iOS app. After that Here WeGo was gone and not available on the app store any longer.
If I find any solution/answer I will post it here.
Thanks for your post!

If you try to install most apps on android, they will show up in your iOS device under "My Apps"->"All" and you can install them from there. However, it doesn't work with all apps. And some that install (including navigator) won't work, because they need a companion app on the phone.
I like Here Wego but although I can get the US version off Play, I can only get the European version from Gear.

Latest Update for Samsung Gear S3
HERE WeGo: Latest Update for Samsung Gear S3 gets public transit and companion mode
But is not available for Ios users. Cannot find it !
The app Here wego is only available for Samsung Phones and S3, i cant find it in my LG,
Yes you need Samsung phone to be able to download it. What worked for me was to pair with a Samsung phone download Here Wego take backup of watch and pair up again with my Nexus 6p and do a restore. Now you can find Here Wego from my apps in the app store.
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.
