Maybe some of you guys realized there is a new feature on GW 5 and Pro which is named Routes and we can trace back the routes from GW5,Is there any way to do this in Galaxy watch 4 or maybe is there any solution like the restriction removed ?
I would second this - can we get the apk maybe ported from the 5 Pro?

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.
Regards Ant

Simply use the Fix button and you will get simple patches and instructions on how to fix your connection, the app detecs your phone model and checks for compatibility, some device may not be supported, but most of them work flawlessly.

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
I wanted some new earbuds for the gym that would actually stay in my ears. I watched a lot of reviews on YouTube. I considered Air by crazybaby Nanos till I heard of the connection problems they had with the Micros. Finally I found the 2018 model of the IconXs.
The IconXs aren't going to blow you away, but they are a very good alternative to Airpods. Especially if you want more of a closed ear for passive noise canceling. They also majorly improved the battery life over last year's model. I was also able to buy them for $150 instead of the normal $200, because of Black Friday.
They have one Achilles heel though. The Android app only wants to work on Samsung phones. For other Samsung Gear someone created a modified app, and posted it to XDA. But the support for IconXs is added by a plugin. There is also one for the older model, and one for the newer model. For extra fun the app and the plugins have to be signed with the same key. But since the new 2018 plugin is so new, it hasn't been posted on XDA.
The app makes it easier to pair them with your phone. It lets you remap gestures and taps for control. It lets you load music on the 4gb of internal storage. It lets you control if it mixes in the environment with what is playing.
I am really disappointed in Samsung for locking the app to their phones. They seem to be a good to great hardware company, but seem to not understand software on some level.
I had to download the modified app, and the 2018 IconX plugin. Then I had to sign both on my laptop. Then I uploaded the modified copies to my phone, and installed them. Now it just works!
Instructions:
Download both apks, and sign.jar. Then run "java -jar sign.jar file.apk" once per apk. You will end up with two files with the same names, but with a .s prefixed before apk. Get those on the phone, and install them. You will need "Unknown sources" enabled on your phone.
Using this program to sign them isn't ideal. There are probably better ways to do this.

Is this still needed? Trying to decide if my force.closes are related to Android_P or non-Samsung device.

Resigned Galaxy Gear cannot find the IconX 2018
Hi there.
Thanks for the thread.
I did what you suggested and I was able to install Galaxy Gear. I also installed the resigned iconX 2018 plugin but since it's not an app you can open, I don't really have an indication if it worked or not.
When I open Galaxy Gear, it's not able to find my earbuds even when I have them in my ears (it's not detecting them even though my BT is on).
How did you detect the IconX 2018???
Thanks.
Note: I also tried a resigned Samsung Wearable (the new renamed Gear app) but even resigned, I wasn't able to install it at all (usual error message).
Are you just resigning the app? didn't change any code in the app?
I bought gear iconx today,i have honor note 8 which i really liked,after 1 hour i have managed to work iconx 2018 plug in properly,in order to work this apk you need modified gear iconx apk posted here and you need to download samsung accessory service apk from play store and that's it,now you got fully operating gear apk.
Here is the samsung app
Do you all think that Samsung would eventually feel pressured to add support for Galaxy Watch 4 pairing in the Google Wear OS app? For those who would rather not use Samsung services on non Samsung devices.
They wouldn't even have to enable all the features you loose anyways like ECG and Blood Pressure. I have a OnePlus 9 and just think it would be more seamless instead of needing the Galaxy Wearables app.
Or if it does not even fall to Samsung and is just a matter Google adding Support for the Watch in their app.
No, I don't think so. If anything, it seems like other WearOS 3.x watches might start moving to separate pairing apps. We don't know for sure yet though.
Also, would definitely prefer Google Wear OS app with my OnePlus 10 Pro!
Sorry for this question, but I want to know if that is possible by somehow editing the pixel watch/wearos apk to find GW4/5, maybe by making it search for our device model or (something else that it uses to identify the device) instead of the original watch.
I think if we spoofed with root the GW4 to Pixel watch build.prop it will detect it as a Pixel Watch, but I don't know if the opposite like I said before will work (without root).
