I downloaded this app. I don't know if this is a new app or what but i have only just stumbled across it in the galaxy app store. I have gear browser already installed, but this is a 3rd party app for browsing. I like to keep most things stock so i installed the samsung official app. After downloading the app and opening it says "To use Internet on gear. Install master app on phone" then the app force closes. However, I am running the gear s3 alongside an s7 edge, so it is obvious the master app is installed as it comes pre-loaded.
Has anybody experienced this before or does anybody know of a work-around?

You need the companion app for the gear samsung internet. You can download it through the Samsung app store
Ok sorted. That works. Thank you
I can only find the regular Samsung Internet app at the Google Play store. It doesn't have anything to do with the Gear watch.
How do you locate the app for the Gear that is named "Companion App"?

I'm a Note 3 (Beans ROM) / Gear 2 user. I was experiencing the issue that many others reported where Watch Styler doesn't appear to fully install, hangs at "Installing" and although Watch Styler would appear in my app drawer, it never would show up in Gear Manager under Clocks. I'm happy to report that it's working now and I wanted to try to help others experiencing the issue.
Essentially I followed steps 1-11 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52433453&postcount=9. I also installed the Gear Manager.zip from BeastSpencer. After the reboot however, my Samsung Apps wasn't showing up in my drawer. I was able to open Gear Manager and connect to my watch, but I couldn't install any apps from the App Store within Gear Manager. The apps would start downloading then the screen refreshed and the option to Install appeared again. When I realized Samsung Apps was missing, I opened Google Search on my phone, typed in "download samsung apps" and followed the links to download the app store from Samsung which took me here: http://apps.samsung.com/mars/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA. From what I remember when I clicked the "Phone" button to launch the installer, nothing happened...Samsung Apps never installed. I had to choose the Re-install Phone button. After this I was able to go back to Gear Manager and install Watch Styler. Now it appears to be working...well about as well as everyone else's anyway. I'm still experiencing the following issues, can't load digital watch faces I've downloaded from gearfaces.com (i think everyone is having this issue), and occasionally when I'm trying to switch from one downloaded theme to another, Watch Styler throws an error about being "in a call" even if I'm not. When this happens I just select one of the default watch faces that's included with Gear Manager, then click on the settings icon for Watch Styler, then I'm able to select and apply a new theme.
Good luck, hopefully this helps out someone else with the same issue.
you posted this on the other forum and I replied there that it doesn't work for users on the galaxy s5 ,maybe for others but im just saving others on the s5 some time and trouble going through all this to have the same results as watch styler not showing up in Samsung apps and watch styler not showing up as a choice under clocks then setting a theme.

I think you have me confused for someone else? I haven't posted anything like this before. Maybe this won't help people with the S5....but several Note 3 users have the same issue as me, so I'm hoping it might help them. Cheers.
Can Some one try the app Tunnelbear.. It lets you set your vpn to another country... Maybe than you can download the Gearmanager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tunnelbear.android
Please report back to me...
I cant, for the life of me, ever find that .zip file that BeastSpencer is supposed to have.

This worked for me! Rooted Ricks ROM build 7 on the Verizon Note 3. Of course it was a process and a pain in the ass but I finally got watch styler to work and the gear manager is slight different looking. Downloaded the Samsung App file directly from Samsung though the zip didn't work.

Just a shot in the dark here how about putting the apk inside /system/priv-app then reboot instead ?

I found the old version of Gear Manager that work on Note 3 Alliance Rom that is compatible with watchstyler
Gear Manager - https://www.dropbox.com/home/Apps/G...msung.android.app.watchmanager_1.6.132701.apk
Watch Styler - https://www.dropbox.com/home/Apps?p....manager-468f0fac17003fe3f1addbd2b9071ebc.apk
I can't find anything on this.
So I'm trying to pair my Galaxy S5 with the Gear2 - it can see the Gear 2 on bluetooth, but there's no prompt to pair.
Gear Manager pops up an error message very quickly and force closes.
I don't particularly want to have to sign up with a samsung account and/or use their app store on my phone - is there any way around this?

i believe you need to have a Samsung app store account. how else will you have access to the thousands of great apps for the Gear 2 without one... lol, but seriously, no account no acess. there are few (if any) apps in android play store. Gear 2 runs on tizen, not Android.
as for the F/C, try uninstalling everything and try again. my Gear 2 paired up with my Note 3 right away.

I found a version of Gear manager as an apk download that runs, but you're right - what you can do with it is highly restricted.
I'm a little more privacy-aware than most android users, and as a result I'm probably not going to use the device much if it's locked to a corporate app store.

The apps download to your phone which transfers them to your watch. The only possible apps I can think of that might expose your watch data are fitness apps that transfer your stats back to the phone. Watch faces, games, etc. don't share any data but still, the only way to get them is through the Samsung App Store.
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

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?

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!
I am gonna secure one today from BB. I looked at google play and cannot find a Tizen app that communicates with S2. Samsung phones have a gear app that will communicate with their watches. I looked up Samsung.com and could not find info.
How does one install tizen apps on Gear S2 watch? from the watch itself?
You will need to download the Samsung Gear app.

I'm using an LG G3 and I had to install the Gear Manager app from the Play Store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager
Once I connected my watch it prompted me to install a couple other plug ins and sign in to Samsung, but it wasn't confusing to get it going.
I have a Padfone S and the store won't let me install it. I had to download the APK from another APK repository to install it. Seems to work OK so I don't see why they won't let me download the app from the Play Store.
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.

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.
