[Root] Temporary fix for Samsung Gear Devices (And probably other Samsung weareables) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion
This guide is a temporary fix for the connection problems with Samsung Wearables in Pie custom Rom ports from Note FE
Requirements:
Galaxy Wearable: Last version from Play Store is working
Samsung Gear S Plugin (Can you try with the apk for your device but it is important that the application version ends in "N". For example, the version of Gear S Plugin that worked for me is 2.2.03.19032541N). Versions ending in "N" as seen versions are used for phones that are not and do not have Samsung TouchWiz, Samsung experience or One UI Download here
Samsung Accessory service: Download here
AFWall+: Download here
Instructions:
Unistall Galaxy Wear apps (Galaxy Wearable, plugin, accessory service, SASystemProviders, etc).
Unlink device from bluetooth settings
Install the mentioned apps
Open Galaxy Wearable app, configure and link your device (If the device don't link and at stuck in "Finishing pairing", make a factory reset from settings in the watch and try again).
Once linked and configured, run the AFWall + app and configure how it is in the attached screenshot
Enjoy!

I've been trying to do this for a couple of hours but without success. What I noticed was that the Galaxy wearable is always updating the Gear Plug-in and that is probably the reason why the pairing fails. And if I block the internet access to the Galaxy wearable app while initiating the pairing then it refuses to pair... It's a vicious circle... Do you have any ideas how to circumvent this obstacle?

The plugin update always runs after linking with the phone or at least in my case with the Gear S2

So why bother installing the application version ending in N if the Galaxy wearable overwrites it and installs the latest one and only then does the phone start the pairing - at least in my case... Or am I missing something?

For that it is blocked in AFWall +, with this it would not have a way to update itself directly

So,the right steps are first run AF+ to block the wearable app and after that I should start the wearable app..is that correct?
My device is the galaxy s7 edge (exynos)

The problem is that I can't finish the set-up/connection process... Bluetooth loses connection with the watch in the last step of the set-up.

Has anyone been successful connecting to a Galaxy Watch 46mm using this method?

Yes, I get it. But in my case, as I stated earlier, it updated itself even before it started pairing - and it happens every time. You just can't block internet access while connecting to the watch becasue it refuses to pair. And if you grant access to the internet then it updates itself...
Guys has anyone tried and succesfully paired Samsung Galaxy Watch? AFAIK the problem is with only the newer Watched (Active and Watch). So Gear S3 an others may work with this workaround but the newer ones dont.
For me it's worked on LightRom v8.
Things that i've done:
1. Install apps from:

3. Pair watch
4. In AFWall+ block Gear Wearable app.
5. Put back the original build.prop
6. Reboot phone
7. In Samsung Wearable app don't update plugin!
Ok, after 2 days without problem this morning i have rebooted my phone with watch connected and after reboot i opened gear manager and boooom notification of update is here :crying: , I repeated everything in the guide and I pair the watch, after that i found a little issue due to the timing of the reboot and afwall+ start, in this couple of second gear s plugin check internet before afwall start and the problem is half here again, half because gear can connect to phone but gear manager become unusable without the update of gear s plugin
A temporary fix is to disable in gear manager, gear plugin and Samsung accessory service background data and background usage and close everytime gear manager before a reboot, I try this three times and seems ok

Ok, I don't have the problem but I use the blackdiamond NFE rom and it works fine
I'm using BlackDiamond NFE V3 with Gear S3 Frontier and works great but with a procedure a little different mentioned by OP.
This is the way that worked for me:
1. Clear data from Galaxy Wearable and uninstall Galaxy Wear apps (Gear S plugin, accessory service, SASystemProviders, etc).
2. Unpair device from bluetooth settings.
3. Install the apps provided by OP.
4. Open AFWall+ (IMPORTANT: Second icon at the top corner -> "Block selected") and check the 3 boxes like the screenshot from OP. Apply and activate the firewall.
5. Open Galaxy Wearable app and follow the configuration.

[Q] Gear 2 apps not showing up
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

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?

Click to collapse 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!
[Q] S Health and Gear Fit with Galaxy S4 active?
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.

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.

It connects again to my gear and app version is 2.2.14092499 now. So I thought it is working and tried to open Gear manager and it says still there is an update, checked in Samsung App store and there is no update there, if I try to update from the Gear app itself, I get same problem as above. I will wait to see how Samsun fix these issue, did reboot and cleared the cashes several times on my first try too, it doesn’t help. I am not going to install the ones you posted above, not that I trust that but just to wait and see what Samsung does about this.

There was a reason why I didn't do that. I didn't want to loose my Gear apps. But after your suggestion, I removed the app and reinstalled again. The app version is still same as the one I mentioned above. But I had to install all my Gear apps again because Gear is pushed to factory reset, which is not so big problem if the Gear app store didn't have constant network issues. At least after a while I could install everything back but now I didn't have the wstheme files on the watch. Put those back on the watch again and I can use my favorite app Multi-Watch again. Bit stupid of Samsung, if you ask me. Pushing a update which cause problems. I am not the only one since in the app reviews at Galaxy app store more people complain about it.
I had to factory reset two times in two weeks because of Gear Manager updates. As you said I needed to install everything again on my Gear. But I haven't seen any improvements with these updates and Gear appstore and Samsung Galaxy appstore sucks with network connection. At least they could send us an update log.

I think my Galaxy note 2 will be my last Samsung phone for a while. I have had too much problem with their own software since I've started to use Galaxy S and now Note2. Problem with the phones software, problem with Kies and now with the Gear's software. Good hardware, but bad software. Skickat från min GT-N7100 via Tapatalk

Gear Fit 2 Won't pair with Galaxy S5 on LineageOS 14.1
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

Click to collapse 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. Tapatalk for Android - Works awesome on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

Gear S3 app store doesn't work at all
Since the new update - march [EU market], I can't open the app store in the Samsung Gear application for my Gear S3. The application connects to the watch and I can see the information about Gear. I can't view or install any apps, which makes this watch pretty useless. It worked before the update. I bought the watch a few days before the update so I haven't made a backup of the apps and watchfaces I installed before the update (not sure if I could install them even with the backup since it'd probably require opening the store). I can't restore them and now I can't install them either.
Opening the store always gives this error on a white screen: {"returnCode":"0","errorCode":"0001","errorMsg":"System Error!-[0001]"}
If I try to open any category in the store (for example Health/Fitness), it says "No apps" instead of the error.
I've tried to fix it by:
- reseting Gear S3
- factory reseting Gear S3
- restarting my phone
- cleaning phone cache
- cleaning cache from Samsung Gear, Gear S Plugin and Samsung Accessory Service apps
- cleaning all data from the 3 apps
- uninstalling and reinstalling the 3 apps
- installing the previous (november) .apk versions of the 3 applications (Samsung Gear 2.2.16101261, Gear S Plugin 2.2.03.16111661 and Samsung Accessory Service 3.1.26_16116)
Information about devices:
- Sony Xperia Z3 (Android 6.0.1, up-to-date software, compatible with Gear S3)
- Samsung Gear S3 (model SM-R770, Tizen 2.3.2.3, software version R770XXU2BQC5)
Help fixing this problem would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
- Sony Xperia Z3 (Android 6.0.1, up-to-date software, compatible with Gear S3) Click to expand... Click to collapse This looks not like Samsung handset... Maybe try first to verify which device makes "trouble"... handset or gear or both... Easiest way IMHO... Connect Samsung device with your SM-R770... No need to buy Samsng handset... maybe your family or friends or neighbar or closest seller. NO joke. Samsung do sometimes """funny""" changes to Software so all previous stuff render useless... Maybe your Sony is now incompatible with BQC5 Firmware... Btw. Thank you very much for this perfect Thread. :good: All necessary infos inside...
