This is exactly my situation so happy to hear that there apparently is a solution. When my HTC One M8 updated to lollipop and I'm not rooted, it essentially crippled my use of the Gear 2 as you already know. Can't wait to try this and hopefully get m watch back but I have a question. Do I have to uninstall all previous apks related to the Gear 2? I'd hate to delete them and something go wrong and then 100% not be able to use my watch at all. I mean it semi works now, would love full usage but would be gutted if I lost all functionality. Thanks in advance.

Connect Gear 2 to HTC One M8

Hi, friend. Sorry to say that my previous message is not correct. Now i am going to describe the prosess exactly as it is and as it worked for me many times.

1.	Uninstall all the previous apks from the phone.

2.	Clean all the traces with SD Maid or App Cache Cleaner.

3.	Turn off bluetooth and disconnect the existing bluetooth connection with the Gear 2 .

4.	Install GearManage of the the previous version:

- install GM 2.2.15011700.apk. You can download it from Brendo's Mediafire

- install GearManagerStub.apk from the same source

- install all the apk's form ExtractedApks (use the following link: drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uemtAJSY3PVDFiY0FsVGRLN28/view

5. Run GearManager on your phone (Note: It should not show the Gear 2 as Connected device on the start. If so, than it means that the previous bluetooth connection with the Gear was not diabled. Then see Step 3)

6. Refuse all the updates GM may ask for, check the 2 or 3 items in the Lisence Agreement. After that GM will crash with «Gear plug-in error» – just do not pay attantion. The Gear will connect and you will be able to use almost all fuctionality.

7. After that install GearManager of the latest version:

- install GM 2.2.15022599.apk

- install all the apk's from Brendo's Gear Manager\2.2.15022599\Downloaded

It will stop Gear plug-in crash and will allow you to operate your Gear 2 with GM application.

In addition to that it is useful to install ConnectionManager.apk and

8. uninstall Saprovider 2.0.434 installing saprovider 2.0.87 instead, as well as

9. uninstall GearManagerStub from the installed application, for it is useless..

All this will give you working sms-templates and Media remote controller.

Hope this will help.

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions and help. Can't wait to give this a try when I get a free moment. Thanks again.

Quick question, in your instructions you say install Gear Manager version 2.2.15011700.apk from his Mediafire vault but the one listed there is 2.2.15011799.apk. Is that one ok to use? And as for the GearManagerStub apk, do I download the one in the main folder or the on in the sub folder "Lollipop"? Thanks again

Gear fit SM-R3500ZKAXAR not working with Lollipop v5.0.1 ...

Hello, I updated my Galaxy Note 4 about 10 days ago to Lollipop v5.0.1 and now my Gear Fit is no longer working. The model I have is SM-R3500ZKAXAR and I have the Odin v3.09 and v3.09.5 and neither are updating the firmware on my device. I have connected the Gear Fit to my PC and Smart Switch does not recorgniza the device nor does Kie3. I have the Fit manager app installed. It will send the passkey for the bluetotth to connect, I can see the bluetooth connection for a few seconds and then states "failed to connect via bluetooth..." I have tried everything and have followed all the steps fopr rebooting, but nothing works. I can no longer use it at all since it will not even show clock or anything. Can you help me to see what I can do to get it to work? It was an Xmas present given to me 6 months ago and I can no longer even wear it to tell the time. Sooooooo frustrated!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ebere62:
It was my mistake. Sure it should be 2.2.15011799 version. As for GearManagerStub, yes, i mean the one from the main folder.

How to connect Gear2 Emulator to devices or Emulators?

Hi everyone,

I used the gear manager and installed it on Samsung galaxy s4 and it's working but the problem is that i don't have a gear 2 device.So downloaded

the Gear SDK and created a gear emulator and run some stand alone applications which doesn't require a Host device and so far so good.

Now I wanted to create application that requires a Host device but I am unable to connect between the android emulator and the gear 2 emulator.I searched on the net but I couldn't find a method or an API.I also created the gear 2 emulator on a lap that have a Bluetooth facility and tried to connect to a real device(S4) but was unsuccessful so I want to know is it not possible to establish a connection between gear 2 emulator and android emulator.Anyone have any idea please help.

Thanks in advance.

Tried this for fun on my N5 running the M preview. The provided APK installs fine, I can get it to try to connect to the watch using NFC on the cradle (doesn't find it on the Bluetooth search). However when I connect it then brings up a notice to install com.samsung.android.gear2smodule from Google Play store to experience full features. Hit ok and it launches the play store, however it says not available (I assume because the phone is an N5). Is there any chance someone can pull down that app? Or even verify it does exist in the play store for Samsung devices?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install GearManager on my OnePlus Two (Android 5.1.1 rooted)

I have :

- copied the folder GearManagerStub (Lollipop version) in /system/app (rights and owner checked)

- installed the Gear Manager 2.2.15092142

- installed all apps which are in the folder of the Gear Manager 2.2.15022599

- rebooted my phone

- paired my watch with my phone in bluetooth

But the Manager can't find my Gear 2 Lite :(

So I have some questions :

- These apk are they compatible with the Samsgun Galaxy Gear 2 Lite ?

- Did I do things in order ?

- Did I miss somethings ?

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dsireme:
I have been searching many forums and I am hoping this one can help. I have a Note 4 running 5.1.1. I had a Gear Fit and upgraded to a Gear 2 Neo. I cannot get it to connect to S Voice. A lot of forums say the problem they had was they didn't have the saproviders.apk. I have that and have uninstalled the Gear app and reinstalled it a bunch of times. I am still getting Connection Failed. I cannot get in to the settings in the Gear app for S Voice. Also I have disabled and enabled S Voice hoping that would work.

I have a feeling I am missing a file or more but I don't know which ones. I have seen people list files on here but they are for other phones.

This is what I have installed at this time:

Samsung Gear - 2.2.15111841

saproviders - GearS.2.0.484

Gear Plugin - 2.2.02.15071741

GearModule - 2.2.02.15071741

Host Manager - 2.2.02.15071741

S Voice - 11.7.0.1

Not sure what else is needed. Also, my phone has not been rooted.

Any help is really appreciated, I have been working on this for weeks and my head really hurts.:crying:

Update, I tried to follow the instructions from ebere62 and some of the stuff wouldn't install and it wouldn't let me in to the program at all without updating it.

I did try connecting my Gear 2 Neo to my Note Pro 12.2 running 5.1.1 and S Voice worked fine on there. So I know it is not a problem with the Gear.

I hope someone has an answer because I do not want to reset my phone because with my luck, I would do it and it still wouldn't be fixed.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

It is working now. I compared my tablet to my phone and I was missing savoiceprovider. I know I had it before but I deleted everything I could find when I was trying to do those instructions and it didn't get reinstalled. After I reinstalled it, everything works fine. I must of either had an old version of it or a corrupt one.

I hope this helps other people that are having the same problems and same them a lot of research. :D

Hi Guys

If anyone's still battling, I think the following will help:

Gear 1:

1. Install SD Maid from the Play Store, remove all apps associated with the Gear and then run Corpse Finder. Clear Bluetooth data from your app manager as well (We want a clean install thus removing all data associated with your previous attempts at getting the Gear to work)

2. Download gear manager 1.2 from this source: http://www.mediafire.com/?yo17ta4qyrx50zj

3. Install Gear Manager and open it and follow the prompts and install all the supporting applications.

4. If it worked, the last thing you need to do is enable notifications (Gear manager app on your phone > notifications > tap on more notifications and all your apps will appear

Gear 2:

1. Samsung has released a new version of Gear manager which supports non-Samsung phones. See: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/1...nager-app-is-now-available-to-other-androids/

Hope this helps

Resurrection remix android 6 note 3 - gear2 sm-r380

Hi all,

I am really struggling with my Gear 2 SM-R380 and my new non-stock ROM from PB, which i am grateful for it, it is really fast, in fact my phone has never been so fast even having active programs tuning the system, killing non authorized apps, etc...

I have tried many different ways to try to make the Gear connect to the phone but either Gear Manager was complaining about the phone software (latest versions) or with the old version 15.02 Gear Manager was working but complaining about the watch software.

After installing Android Wear in the watch and successfully connecting to the phone I share the same view as many others, i want Tizen 3 back so I am looking forward to get Gear manager working in non-samsung Android 6.0.1

Will anyone with a Note 5 (for example) or any other phone runnning android 6.0.1 be so kind to share the following apk files extracted from his/her phone?

01. Gear Plugin

02. Gear Module

03. goProviders

04. Host Manager

05. Samsung Accessory Service

06. Watch Manager

07. saFileTransfer

08. fotaProvider

09. Gear Manager Stub

10. Samsung Gear (Gear Manager apk)
