I have a very old Gear 2 neo. Is it possible to install a new firmware and make it more modern?
Please help me
Original Gear 2 works well. Not others OS or watch are really better nor Wear OS or all other limited OS in Fitbit or Garmin Watch. Even the new Gear S3 and up are really near of the very old Gear 2, I have also few apps that works in Gear 2 and not ported on recent model
Ok but after Note 9 update (Android PIE) I don't receive full text messages (Whatsapp and Telegram) but only notify. For me this is a problem.... and I want understand why...

I am getting the Gear 2 that will be paired with my T-Mobile Note 3 and have a couple of quick question:
1). Which built-in Note 3 app that CANNOT be frozen for the Gear 2 to function with the phone?
I froze certain built-in Samsung apps in the Note 3. Does the following needs to be UNFROZEN:
- ANT Hal Service
- ANT Radio Service
- ANT+ Plugins
- Mobeam Service Application
- S Health
I did NOT froze :Gear Manager"
2). I had Peeble watch before and there are many Peeble app that can forward ANY notifications, like Google Voice text message and 3rd party calendar. Does the Gear 2 have this capability also?
Well, turns out the Gear 2 is ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH 4.4.
My Note 3 is only 4.3 and have not desire upgrading to 4.4. Not sure why the Gear 2 requires 4.4... seeing Samsung own website stated it is compatible with Note 3, long before 4.4 is out for Note 3.
Mod, please delete this thread as I will be returning and not using the Gear 2 anymore.
Not true, I'm using the Gear 2 for a week now on 4.3 with no problems at all.

i have a note 3, gear 2 and mine will not sync with s health at all.. i have tried everything i could think of.. has anyone got this to work..??
Hi,
I got my gear 2 this morning and was looking to use it with my Sony Z. I found this app in the market ' Gear 2 Superfix ' . After installing the app it connected perfectly. Nearly everything works apart for weather and a couple more things.
There is an update for the gear manager (2.14041404) but am unable to install that yet.
Also in my gear manager i dont have Samsung Apps iether.
Anyway on the whole im happy it works on my not rooted sony z.
I'd be pleased to here from anyone who als uses this app. It cost 7 euros.

It's promising to know that there are options if I choose not to get a Samsung phone down the line.
Real advantages?
If anyone played with this app, could you, please, post if this app has any real advantages over the free methods, specifically in the following areas that have not been working otherwise:
Weather
SMS, Email and Phone Call history browsing (I'm not talking about notifications, I'm talking about browsing previous text messages, emails and phone call history, please, be specific about it)
SMS and Email composition using S Voice
Receiving phone alarms on the watch
Fitness apps requiring GPS support (biking and hiking)
Also, the screenshot included with the app on Google Play suggests it has a way of rooting the Gear 2 (not the original Gear!) watch. Is it really the case?
I can't make it work with Samsung Note 8.0

I bought it and installed on Note 8.0 GT-N5100, I am able to establish the Bluetooth connection with Gear 2, I can sync the Address book and call out form Gear 2.
But in the Gear Manager, it only shown paired and I can't connect it. so I can't do or configure anything.
No need to purchase this app for the Note 8.0. The Note 8.0 with KK is fully compatible with Gear 2 (you just need to sideload Gear Manager). The only thing that does not work is the gear samsung app store access, but superfixer does nit fix that either...

Decided to take one for the team and test it. It seems to just have you download a slightly different version of Samsung's Gear Manager. But when I go to pair the device with it on my Galaxy S4 it just stalls out at connecting. (it could possibly be working idk) I will post screen shots of the software and what has you download. It might simply be my cyanogen 10.2.1 preventing it from working. Upgrading to cyanogen 11 to test.

thl 5000
Hey guys,
since I got my new phone the thl 5000 I can not use my gear 2 neo.
On my former phone the HTC one X I could use it with a rom.
The thl 5000 has android 4.4.2 and bluetooth 4.0 so why can I not use the gear.
Has somebody an idea maybe Superfixer.
Thank you
Hello everyone, I'm running into a weird issue with the Gear App store. When I had my Gear s2 classic paired to my Galaxy Note Edge, I was able to see the Snoopy watch faces and some of the Gear O'Clock watch faces as well. I could download them and use them on the watch with no problems. I just got the AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge yesterday and paired my Gear S2 classic to the phone. But when I go to the Gear App store, none of those watch faces appear at all. They don't show up when I search for them using the search feature either. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Gear Manager plus factory resetting the Gear S2 Classic as well. When I pair the watch back up to the Galaxy Note Edge, the same Gear app store lets me see the Snoopy and Gear O'Clock watch faces and download them with no troubles. Any idea whats causing this?
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that Samsung forces developers to manually update their apps to support the Galaxy S7 lines. The mentioned devs haven't done so. Samsung may do it for them shortly, but if you want to get those apps/faces quicker, just contact the devs and ask them to update. I received several emails about this issue from S7 users on launch day, I went ahead and update all my apps and everything appears again

I used GWD to create my face(s). What do I need to do to "update" my faces?

You just submit an update, but instead of uploading a fake new binary, switch to advanced mode and select s7 in the compatible device list, then note that it is a description update only => submit. Takes some hours to go live

I try to use samsung Health app for iphone with gear s2 for months. The embedded version of shealth in gear S app is very basic.
The full version of Shealth for iphone does not support gear s2.
I am able to sync only once and i don't know how.
Anyone know how to sync gear s2 with shealth for iphone (the full standalone app)?
Meanwhile i'm trying mapmyrun for iphone. It has a native app for gear s2 and seem very complete
Unfortunately I do not think there's a way. If you want to use the standalone application from Samsung Helth, you'll need to synchronize Gear information with your Samsung account whenever you're ready to see something.
Samsung Health only gained integration with the upgraded watches for Tizen 3.0. What we have left is to give 1 star and post our indignation on the page of Samsung Health in the App Store.
That's exactly why it comes out of a Galaxy S7 and I bought an iPhone 8. The Apple Watch 1 edition is updated to this day, even though it has a hardware inferior to Gear S2. I never buy any Samsung handset again.
I got a gear S3 (SM-R760) a few days ago.
One thing that immediately annoyed me was samsung wanting to switch my S9 to all samsung apps (for text, mail and cal), but so far it also works with normal google apps. Also Samsung Pay is not available for me which is a real bummer. But the most annoying little thing that came across is the way some Notifications like WhatsApp get handled, only the last message is shown.
From the information I got online I guess the last problem is only present in Tizen 3 but not in the newer Galaxy Watch with Tizen 4.
Can I somehow get Samsung Pay to work?
Is there a way to update the ROM myself to Tizen 4? If so, how?
Would Android Wear be an alternative maybe? But from what I read in the Forum the development on that is still not far enough for "normal use".
Thank you for any help in advance!
