Hello! A got same problem with my gear fir (NG2) and smartphones that based on MTK 6589-6592 platform ... I try any versions of GFM from 1.17 to 1.78 - not working ((

Meaby its some hardware problem with bluetooth on MTK devices ...?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Cffn:
I have a Motorola Moto G with GearFit NE5 and Gearfit manager 1.70 and some apps don't work for me, like Quick settings, calculator, etc.

I can install them but when I touch on the Gear Fit, the MotoG device tells me that the app is going to be closed or something like that.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Jimbroski:
Anyone have an in-depth guide on how to set up the Auto Bluetooth reconnect? I asked but no one helped me :(.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mendez8:
Like first post on this thread says, not all apps work on non-samsung. Some do if you have your phone rooted and modify the build.prop file (also in first post).
[Samsung Gear Fit] Kurso:
Yep - I can confirm this: Doesn't work on my Wiko Darkfull (with MTK 6589) [same problem with the fail a few minutes after trying to connect]... :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] ndang268:
I think it is happen only in MTK6589. My Lenovo P780 has this chipset... :(

[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
Just to update this discussion that gear2 hrm sensor is enabled through Endomondo. As those are similar if not the same, you know who's guilt is...Second thing, that battery leakage or non continual mode are issues is also wrong, as when you start an exercise (running for example), fit starts measuring HR in continual mode (led is lit all the time, and at the end you get both max and avg HR). And, for 1.5h and 15 km I run, it spent 7% of battery with hrm, c'mon...
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFletch:
That is good to know but unless I'm missed something this is a Gear Fit group, not a Gear 2 group. I don't think any of the above applies to the Fit. I'm open to learn if I'm mistaken.
[Samsung Gear Fit] djurkash:
No you're not mistaken, but my point is that if they enabled internal hrm Endomondo support on gear 2, there's no reason not to do it for gear fit. I own gear fit too, and would really like to see it working seamlessly with Endomondo...
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheFletch:
They seem to have lots of limitations using both the Fit and Gear 2. You can't at this time use the Pro version with either watch, just the free version. This is also in their blog.

Unlike Gear Fit, which doesn’t feature heart rate monitoring, Gear 2 can both measure your heart rate and then show this data in your Endomondo app and on your Gear 2 display.

Hello,

I just downloaded the 2 files.

When copy or move the GR.GearManagerStub.apk into system/path, it is failed. The file couldn'be copied.

My mobile is lenovo p780 KitKat non rooted.

Please advice
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
You have to be rooted to move anything into the system partition. Why are you doing that though?
[Samsung Gear Fit] ndang268:
I don't want to root my mobile...

No experience and no skill about rooted :)

If anyway without root, it is great..

Appreciated your idea..
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
You don't need to be rooted for this to work. What happened when you followed the instructions in the first post?
[Samsung Gear Fit] ndang268:
I followed the instructions but couldn't connected.

The GF with NE5 and NG2 were tested with GFM 1.45 up to 1.88 but not success.

Somebody mentioned that GF couldn't connected to gadget with chipset MTK 6589.

My lenovo has this chipset :(

And the idea from theRealQQ also not work in my lenny p780...
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Oh...yeah you might be right. Since no samsung phone has a MediaTek processor, it probably won't work. Maybe someone else can chime in here. :good:
[Samsung Gear Fit] theRealQQ:
My connection method will not run on MTK

If you want to connect to any GF to your smartphone, you should at least be a Root.

My method applies to smartphones with the operating system Android 4.3 (or higher) and Intel processor
[Samsung Gear Fit] ndang268:
Hello theRealQQ

Many thanks for your clarification...
[Samsung Gear Fit] theRealQQ:
Please!

One of these days I will try to connect to smartphones Gear Fit processors MTK
[Samsung Gear Fit] ndang268:
It is great...

Please, if possible, do not root the gadget...

Thanks a bunch...
[Samsung Gear Fit] theRealQQ:
I'm sorry, there's no way without root access

Working on Xiaomi Mi2S, with custom cyanogen 11 (android 4.4.4)

It was not possible for me to make it work with the official miui V5 android 4.1

Now, I am trying to find the way to put custom backgrounds. In previous versions it show a "no app to crop image, on this device." message. In this last version of the gear fit manager, the option of adding a custom image does not even appear, possibly because they check the existance of the crop application beforehand.

Samsung Gear Fit -IPhone5s

Can't make it work on S3 I9300

Okay, so I used to have a normal unchanged S3 with a Gear Fit that ran normally with no issues.

I was fairly sure that I could make it work with or without the Samsung gimmicks, and installed CM. So I installed the Gear Fit Manager app, changed the files like the post said, and tried to pair it. It said it'd reset the watch, and I agreed with it. When I try to get the two connected together, however, it doesn't work and Gear Fit Manager stops working (it works until I try to pair it). So now the Gear Fit is stuck in "connect to phone" mode and the Gear Fit Manager app is unable to connect itself to the watch (it still opens though).

Any ideas on how to fix it ? I really use the watch a lot, It'd suck if it turned out to not work out (I'd probably get back to the Samsung stuff even if it means missing out on a ton of stuff.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mixterz:
Side loaded the Samsung account apk to my vivo xplay 3s. I'm able to setup and link my account via the fitness and gear. But it won't sync which is a shame, so close. I can see but cant sync on the phones accounts menu either.

Tried use the s health app to but it force closes .

We can still use the history on the gear fit but hopefully someone can make it fully work on non Samsung devices.

Their turning into apple compatibility wise.

I got it working on my Asus New Padfone infinity but no notifications worked except for sms and calls. I ticked the apps in the notification lists but nothing happens when new WhatsApp messages come in. Anyone had the same issue?
[Samsung Gear Fit] KOLIOSIS:
Yeah, on my OPPO N1,which is running ANDROID (COLOR O/S) 4.2.2

It's not showing up in DEVICE ADMINISTRATORS. I'd check there to see if the SAMSUNG GEAR FIT MANAGER is showing up.

Also,as I mentioned that I'm on 4.2.2,you may need to be on 4.3 or better for something closer to full functionality.

When I was running CM11 on my N1,no problems, all notifications showed up on the GEAR FIT.

Again, I'm not 100% on the ANDROID version required, as I also had this working on my LG G FLEX & G2,but,can't remember which version of ANDROID I was on @ the time.

should I just add the other fields? or?

thank you :)

p. s. just to be clear I miss ro.product.brand and name and device

[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
You have 4.2.2. The Gear Fit only works with 4.3+. I should really add this to the OP, sorry. :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
No, don't add them. You should have all those values there. PM me the entire build.prop. Or just post it here, either way.
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
That's really strange that you don't have those values. Can anyone else who has a Find 7 post their build.prop?

at least that means I'm not blind lol.. but seems strange everybody else seems to have it, even one1plus (which should be a close model) though there are some values which calls to model and so.. but they are ro. something different

Rooted G3 issues

I've been fussing with this for days and finally decided to ask for help. I'm using a rooted G3. If I don't make the build.prop edits, Samsung Apps won't work and the Fitness with Gear won't work. Additionally, as long as I leave build.prop alone, the Fit actually connects to Fit Manager. If I make the edits, fit manager fc's right away even after clean install and reset of the fit. But, Sammy apps work and Fitness with Gear syncs with my account and pulls my fit stats from back when I had a N3. Is there a way to get the fit to sync with Fitness with Gear?

smartphone!

i'll try later with further change of build.prop but if doesn't work tonight i install CM 4.4 for oppo and then i'll test it again ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] simika:
FIT and OPPO cm 11 all good

GREAT NEWS :)

as i wrote before i installed CM11 4.4.4 over my OPPO 7a

i also changed build.prop ( this time it had all the values as reported in OP)

i installed latest gear fit manager ... AND ALL IS WORKING :))

now from ANY APP i can read full msg over my FIT !!!!!!!!

only 2 things not working FITness with gear ... (can't sign on samsung account)

and if i try to edit CLOCK in Home screen Styler it crash ..

all the rest confirmed is working :)) so happy !!!!!!!!

Just try it.
[Samsung Gear Fit] simika:
lol.. is not NORMAL .. i had the same problem!

i Solved it by installing a different Rom(CM11 in this case) , my build.prop was then normal

and i could change those values! I did it cause i wanted to scroll notifications over my Oppo and not just see the msg " you have a msg "

you might try to change rom if is not a big deal for you..
[Samsung Gear Fit] MorgaNet:
I love Sense interface. I don't want CM. No one with HTC M7 with sense solved this issue?

[Samsung Gear Fit] pirikitto:
you have already tried to manually enter that line in your build.prop?
[Samsung Gear Fit] MorgaNet:
Nope. In some discussions I understood that it's not a right way to solve this problem.
[Samsung Gear Fit] simika:
basically just follow steps on first page.. the values are the same.. just not in that each order so you have to find one by one on build. prop it'll take 5minutes

Getting Fitness to work on my Experia

:( Oh I am a most unhappy person.

Had my Galaxy S5 stolen and have now replaced it with a brand new Sony Experia Z3. My belief was that I would be able to go on using the Gear Fit that I have come to depend on for many small, but essential functions, pretty much without a hitch. At the moment this is far from the case. My hope now is that this is all due to incompetence on my part. I'd be extremely grateful for any help that anyone can provide.

What it boils down to, I guess, is that I cannot log into my old Samsung account from my Sony phone. And this seems to be mandatory for any of the Fitness with Gear functions to work. When I start Fitness the phone throws me a login-screen for Samsung account, and then no amount of tapping the screen will get it to budge. Is there a way to get around this????

Most grateful for any help...

Cheers/M
[Samsung Gear Fit] aooga:
Sorry to tell you this, but the fitness with gear cannot work on non Samsung devices. I said in the OP that it doesn't work as well.
[Samsung Gear Fit] McHan:
OK, thanks anyway. I was under the impression, though, that the downloadable Fitness with Gear app was aimed at running on non-Samsung devices. It fires up OK on my Sony, and shows a set of metrics that I looks lite plans to display, but first it wants me to lig into my Samsung account, which it then won't do....

Oh well, guess I'll have to wait for sony to come out with their SWR30 watch...

Thanks anyway/M :crying:

Hi guys,

I have Nexus 5 (4.4.4 stock) rooted TWRP with Gear Fit manager 1.70.0617, build.prop not edited. And Samsung Gear Fit R350XXU0BNG2.

What's not working:

- Fitness with Gear doesn't show any data. Can't enter to Samsung account.

- No clocks with weather.

- Quick reply with SMS.

- Endomondo app syncronization.

Is there any experience with non Samsung phones to make this 4 things work?

I have changed my build.prop to use fitness app, but endomondo no read heart pulse so gear fit is usable only as remote control.

I cant use samsung fitness app downloaded from mediafire. App rin ok but always ask my samsung account (I have a sony) and no sho any kynd of data.

[Samsung Gear Fit] NeoS:
Lol. Crap. I just bought a second hand Gear Fit for my running exercises, and I'm waiting for it to arrive in the mail. Now I'm reading that Nexus 5 with Lollipop doesn't work?

Does the Gear still pair with the device? If so, isn't there anything that does work?

All I'm concerned about is that I want to use the Gear for connecting with Endomundo and registering (and showing) my heartrate and/or speed while running. I don't care about the other features of the device.
[Samsung Gear Fit] frenziedfemale:
This doesn't work with the Nexus 5 now. Even if you edit the build prop you can only start, stop, and pause Endomondo .

Ok, thanks. So the device DOES connect, but most features won't work. That gives opportunities. :)

i'm just wondering why so many people buy the gear fit when they don't even have a compatible samsung phone...

sorry i know this doesn't help you at all but you could have bought every other android wear or whatever watch why buy this one if you knew it possibly won't work. :confused:

And let's be clear the things that work with non samsung are so few and the gear fit is also very limited to begin with. I would have never bought it knowing only the things described in first post are working...not even for 50$...
[Samsung Gear Fit] alexxio:
i answer for my point of view:

other wearable sucks.

-)no ip67 certification

-)bigger price (LG and samsung with android wear cost the double)

-)more sensors than other smartwatches

-)tinier than other ones (the only smartband with a display)

-)which important features are limited? alarm can be set (i'm only sorry for a smart alarm app but neither with a samsung paired phone exists afaik), notification works, i cannot sync with samsung app to have an history (how long? there will be someone who will do that!!) , nothing more

-)i bought a nexus5 few months ago :D and i will never buy a samsung phone anymore

who agrees with me?
[Samsung Gear Fit] emylio96:
Same here

I have a nexus 5 since it was launched and I won't chabge it for nothing (except nexus 6 :laugh: )
