Must share that I've previously used my gear fit wit HTC One X and Nexus 4, with, as described, limited functionality. After purchasing Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo, gear fit experience is incomparable...Hopefully, someone will be able to unlock all list of functions for non-samsung devices too...
[Samsung Gear Fit] Seronez:
That would be great since i don't know if my next phone will be a Samsung one...i hope for the best with the upcoming S6
[Samsung Gear Fit] alexxio:
Can you describe which functionalities Of the gear fit that are not on the nexus you found very useful with s3 neo?

i have a moto x, how did you get alarm to work?
[Samsung Gear Fit] alexxio:
actually it's not an alarm, but i fixed a google calendar note everyday at 8AM, and its notification rings on the gear fit :P
[Samsung Gear Fit] CASz:
I just changed from an S4 to a Z3 Compact. I can use my gear fit for everything I was using it for be for except choosing wallpaper from the gallery app. I also downloaded ANT+ and it seems to have stabilized the connection (maybe wishful thinking? )

Works perfectly

Working perfectly on a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini running CM11. Thanks! :good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] quantumbox:
Open your build.prop in any text editor. Root Explorer works well, or whatever you're used to using.

Change the "Samsung" in "ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung" to anything else. HTC, LG, asdf, anything is fine.

Reboot, then install gear fit manager apk.

This stops the force closing. You're done
[Samsung Gear Fit] alexxio:
root the phone is required for this operation?

can i do the modification, and unroot the phone, and the setting will be kept?

another question, any news about the android lollipop on nexus 5? someone receoved the ota and tested if the gear fit still works?
[Samsung Gear Fit] mooondark:
As expected it does not work. The manager crashes at start up.

Mega Rooted with Custom ROM

Hi,

i have a Samsung Galaxy Mega Rooted with Custom ROM (CM11) installed and able to connect to Gear Fit without any problems (by modifiying the build.prop file like explained in this thread). but if try to change the clock in my Gear fit through Gear Fit Manager, GFM is force closing. Can any one suggest me any setting or a solution to resolve this issue?

Thanks..
[Samsung Gear Fit] thaikinh:
Just want to report that the Gear Fit works perfectly (except the mentioned shortcomings) with my Pantech VEGA No. 6 (A860L) running a modified stock 4.4.2 rooted. However it is difficult to reconnect the Gear Fit once it is disconnected, even manually. I am trying to find a solution.

The newest Gear Fit manager did not work (app not installed) but the older version worked perfectly.
[Samsung Gear Fit] NeoS:
I had an old HTC Desire S laying around. Today I figured I'd root the bastard and run CM11.

So I did, edited the build.prop and voila. Gear Fit Manager works, connects, and every function works. Even Endomondo connects, which was my primary goal for the Gear Fit! :)

S-health isn't working though. Haven't looked at that yet.

Bummer it doesn't work on Lollipop yet, but for now, I can use the Gear Fit, instead of it collecting dust on my nightstand.
[Samsung Gear Fit] noncicredo:
Hello guys!

im close to buy a Xiaomi Mi 4 + gear fit

According to what i've read, we CANNOT see stats about pedometer (fit stats i mean) on our non-samsung phones, am i wrong? Is there a way to do that? it's very sick not having stats on phone like all smartbands do

Thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] NeoS:
Awww. :( FYI, if you want to use Endomondo like me, with the Gear Fit, it DOES work, EXCEPT the Heartbeat monitor! So, you'll need to pair a seperate BT Heartbeat monitor if you want to read your Heartrate.

However, if you have an older Android device without BT 2.1 or older, you CANNOT use two devices simultaneously.

I'm hoping this will work on my Nexus 5 once Lollipop is supported...
[Samsung Gear Fit] noncicredo:
I'm not interesting in using heart rate data ... i just want fit data on my phone; so, i should use an app like Endomondo instead of S-Health right? on Endomondo, can I see all the data i can see with S-Health? differences? Does it work well with the gear fit?

thanks

EDIT: if i buy an S5 and put on it CM11, i read on the first post that i can still use GF with it, but the question is: as the phone, now, would have a custom rom, will i have all the features allowed (like fit sync on the phone) or ii will be like having a non-samsung phone? Meaning no sync on phone, no alarm, no all-samsung-account features (i guess the second one is the right situation, but i hope im wrong)

thanks

Hi Guys

Just need to understand it right, i just ordred the gear 2 neo, but from what i can read in here i need to use a custom rom, and even then the hartbeat sensor cant work?

I've just got Gear Fit for free and I would like to use it with my Xperia Z1. I've already read the first post in this thread, so Gear Fit is connected to my device. I would like to connect Gear Fit with Strava (heartbeat) and Google Fit (and maybe also with MyFitnessPal?). Is it possibile? If yes, how to do it?
[Samsung Gear Fit] thaikinh:
Does any know why there is no "apps connect" on my gear fit? I am on the latest firmware (updated via Kies), I have already modified the build.prop as instructed in the first post

Samsung Note GT N7000

Hello buddies:)

Can anyone confirm if this works with or note n7000?
[Samsung Gear Fit] baesda:
Hi nitangle17,

I have tested it in an Galaxy Note 1 (N7000), and it works.

I have tested it using the ROM CM11. You have to configure "build.properties" as non-samsung devices.

Update your Gear Fit to last version, and use the last version of Gear Fit Manager app.

;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] baesda:
Hi nitangle17,

Sorry, but I think that I have not explained properly in my previous post.

I am going to try it better now.

I have a Samsung Note 1 (N7000) with the custom ROM CM11 (CyanogenMod 11), based on Android 4.4.4, and working with Gear Fit.

I have followed these steps:

1-You must update your Gear Fit to the last firmware version. I couldn't do it with Samsung Kies Windows application, so I had do the firmware update using ODIN3.

2-Update the file "/system/build.prop" with the content of the following areas, explained in the OP.

-Get Fit Apps Working (Optional)

-Samsung Devices With Custom ROMs

3-Reboot your smartphone.

4-Download the last version of the "GearFirManager" APK, and install it in your smartphone.

And thats all.

Now, you must be able to sync your N7000 with Gear Fit, and configure with Gear Fit Manager, what notifications does you want to receive in your Gear Fit.

[Samsung Gear Fit] neoramasay:
Just wanted to say: Add Moto Razr MAXX (CM 11 [M12]) to the list of Devices it can get paired with!

I took a simpler route, as I have friends at work that have Samsung phones, so I simply had one of them pair it to do the FW update and stuff, then just dropped the older version of Gear Fit Manager in on my phone and BAM it paired right up.

Still haven't tested auto-reconnecting, or really anything else (build.prop edits, additional apps, etc) just wanted to toss the word in that it can be done!

My only initial gripe is it set my time to 24-hr (military) style and I can't get 12-hr time back.....

Edit: Update: 24hr time fixed by setting(re-setting) time setting in phone, auto-reconnecting definitely doesn't work (have to turn BT off and back on via the phone).
[Samsung Gear Fit] CASz:
I didn't start up the life log because it seems too intrusive. I don't log activities past the 7 days it's on the gear. Maybe it would help a stick the connection though.

[Samsung Gear Fit] neoramasay:

[Samsung Gear Fit] neoboyx:

[Samsung Gear Fit] neoramasay:
While I can't say for sure if it would work with the xt1225, i'm fairly confident that if you follow the OP's steps, you can at least get it to pair with your phone (this is as far as i've gotten) - as for the apps to work, that's all on how far you're willing to go into editing build.prop and such to make your device look like a samsung to the apps you download.

Has anyone tried to create samsung account to non samsung phone to get that fitness with gear app to work. I fount samsung account apk. File and i installed it on my rooted 4.2 slimrom s4 active and it works. My goal is to get gear fit and fittness with gear app to work and sync withv un rooted opo. Basic functions alreary works and appconnect works only by updating gear fit and after i installed gear manager and fitness app. Only sync with account does not work, but i will try to install samsung account on my wife opo. I let you know what happens.
[Samsung Gear Fit] pasanen:
Ok.

So i managed to install samsung account and now i have it in opo.. But i does not sync. I was having just few minutes time to try it but i think that somethig is missing.. Somekind sync adapter.. But anyway samsung account created in non samsung device..

Edit. It might be impossible to get it sync. I think that samsung account works only with samsung kernel..

Hi all,

I've read many pages of this thred but I didn't find the information: can someone tell me if the xperia Z1c is compatibile with Gear fit as Xperia z, z1s? I would like to use it for notifications and heart rate.

Dismiss notifications on phone

Hi, I'm considering a Gear Fit to use with my Moto G 4G. The feature I'm most interested in is notifications - I already have a watch I really like so the Moto 360 isn't for me but I could wear a band as well as a normal watch.

Please could someone let me know if I could dismiss a notification from the Gear Fit and would it dismiss on my Moto G? I've read a few reviews of the Fit on non-Samsung devices but it's not clear whether they just dismiss from the Gear Fit.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Fit] dave182:
I reply to myself. At last, I've bought a Gear Fit and it works perfectly with Z1 compact for notifications, music player, and third party apps (like new clocks, Rss feed etc...).

Obviously the fitness part wokrs only on the Gear fit, because the Samsung Apps can't run with Xperia.

However, very nice gadget.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Martasdx:
I tried to connect Gear Fit to Lenovo A806 but without success. I connect Gear to computer, put in download mode a tried 4 different firmwares and original one installed by Kies.

Any advice what to try next?

GerFitManager work without crashing on WatchFace change.

Hi,

I'm working on making GearFit working on more phones and during this lovely time i've found out how to make newer GerFitManager work without crashing on WatchFace change.

You have to put in your build.prop different model of phone

And it has to be:

ro.product.model=SM-G313F

This model is listed in getWeatherUnavailableDevices and call to this method is crashing gearmanager.

So....

Please report in this thread wheter it worked for you...

In my case LGG2 it's working with gearmanager 1.92
[Samsung Gear Fit] neoramasay:
Any testing done on Firmware versions connecting to different Gear Fit Manager versions? I've noticed in the other threads for the Fit that there are quite a number of firmware and Fit Manager updates out there now!

Also, on those versions, is there anywhere that a changelog for the firmware and/or GearFitManager versions is maintained?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Martasdx:
Is anyone trying to get it work? I mean by different way than trying all firmwares and app versions. Or is here someone who can write some status?

I am dealing with android 4.4.2 and Gear Fit and I really want to get them work so if here is nobody, I will start to understand and edit application code and t he way how it starts communication.

Thank you everyone :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] slaycio:
Hi,

AFAIK versions above 1.92 have new firmware and to get them working you need to flash this new firmware with odin.

As for me I'm currently using 1.92 with changed device info and it is fairy stable.

I've also been trying 1.113, but with LGG2 it is stuck on connection, because manager is trying to upload new firmware (that's what debugger shows).

Question is whether it is worth the risk to upgrade firmware to try to use those new gear managers?

For now i think i will work on getting fitness data out to Google Fit...

[Samsung Gear Fit] :

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

Do you think transforming the gear manager apk into a system app, after a root, it could solve the disconnection/reconnection problem?

Thanks.

No. I tried that. I see what you mean, so I checked it out on a note 3. It does the same thing.

Kies3 working

Can confirm that with Kies3, it's possible to update Gear Fit Firmware. Before update didn't work with HTC One, nor Moto G (dual sim version). After update Moto G is working at least partially. SMS notification works as expected. Gmail (default gmail app) nor Touchdown notifications won't work. Don't know if they are even supposed to work. Only 5 minutes experience though. Can't set the city for weather either. BT headset works properly at the same time.
[Samsung Gear Fit] eeansa:
Actually gmail and Touchdown notifications work after enabling them from the long list that becomes visible after giving gear fit manager access rights to system notifications. Still can't choose the city and see weather updates though.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Yup. All notifications work fine.

[Samsung Gear Fit] eeansa:
Actually after more testing, when both BT headset and Gear Fit are connected at the same time, Gear Fit disconnects very easily and has to be manually reconnected from phone. I got them working together for about 30 minutes max. Usually 5-10 minutes. When BT headset is disconnected, Gear Fit works much, much better. Doesn't automatically reconnect though.
[Samsung Gear Fit] :
Verizon updated the build few days ago with some bluetooth improvements. I don't have that provider in my country, but i'd like to know, by hazard, if those improvements could change our disconnection/no-automatic-reconnection problems.

Somebody to help?

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear Fit] neoramasay:
Instructions are in the OP - If you are looking to get just basic connection going on, all you really need to follow are the firmware update options (Kies 3 or borrowing somone's samsung phone) and then downloading a few of the Gear Fit Manager APKs to find one that works for you on your device.

I have a note 10.1 2014 as well, so I would be able to pair the "health stuff" with it. So, can I use the gear fit with the two devices? (So I can receive notifications and other stuff in my g3 and pair the health stuff in my tablet?) :confused:

thanks in advance!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Martasdx:
You can't. Because when you connect watch with second device it's reset to default.

Thanks! That's what I though. When I had the Gear 1 (with my note 2 and note 10.1) I couldn't either. Then It would be a choice between notifications and fitness tracking.

Hey guys. I have a Samsung GS3 running Cyanogen mod 10.2 on android 4.3.

Once I tap on it, it gives me the "Unfortunately, Gear Fit Manager has stopped" That was the same error I was getting before the build.prop fix. Everything else seems to work fine on the Gear fit, except for the clock, which is the 1 thing I really want to change lol. Any help is extremely appreciated, Thank you!
