Unrooted HTC One M9. Installed all the necessary files in the order listed. The phone & watch pairs in gear manager but always get a error message saying "download failed". I've unpaired & reinstalled the files several times but no luck. Any known solution to fix this issue? Also I can't root the phone as it is a phone supplying by my job
[Samsung Gear S] InsayneShane:
I got the same error. I've tried for hours. Try combinations of different versions.. i.e. Old and new versions of gear manager/host manager... And so on. I wasn't lucky but hopefully you will be.
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
Back from holidays :

Uninstall ALL apps for Gear S (samsung apps and others...) reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache (long reboot...) and reinitialise Gear S for pairing.

If root, modify build.prop ro.product.model = SM-G900F and install apps and data via Titanium Backup (see my zip page 25), reboot and launch Gear Manager.

If not root, I'm not sure you can modify build.prop to change value. If you can, change the three lines ro.product.model = SM-G900F and ro.product.manufacturer = SAMSUNG & ro.product.band = SAMSUNG. Install apps from page 1 (be careful for the version of HostManager). Launch Gear Manager (force close for HostManager, then turn off bluetooth). Change build.prop to default value for ro.product.manufacturer & ro.product.band (keep SM-G900F for ro.product.model). Reboot and launch Gear Manager.

Good luck.

Hi ! gear.zip is a flashable file ? Because I haven't titanium backup pro edition :/ I extracted the file in titanium backup folder but the app doesn't see the application file.. boh...

edt : after reboot titanium saw the app :)

edit2 : this way doesn't work. . The problem is the same, when I open app with sm-g900f the app doesn't see the gear, and with gt-i9300 see the gear but hostmanager FC..
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
[MENTION=4893726]aeroxr1[/MENTION] : first uninstall ALL (if you can't for Samsung apps, clear data for these apps), wipe cache & dalvik cache, reboot, change build.prop reboot (I reboot 100 times to have Gear connexion), reset Gear S and restore ALL apps WITH data.

If you're with original buil.prop (gt-i9300) Gear S won't be seen in Gear Manager.

With wrong version of HostManager and good build.prop (only SM-G900F not sm-g900f) FC will append. Don't update apps with Gear Manager if ask.

Hello [MENTION=2143929]kingakuma[/MENTION], in step 9th, how do I cancel the updates, it doesn't show me a cancel button or anything.

thank you for the help.

It can download them just not install them, when it tries to Install them you cancel them.

[Samsung Gear S] jinkky:
hello, I have two problems:

1) when I receive or make a call, this always starts from the gear s, so I have to transfer it to the phone.

2) I can not respond to notices of whatsapp or messenger by gear s although I have installed the latest firmware.
[Samsung Gear S] Remzy:
loop connections

Hello. I bought a watch and the second week I can not connect to the phone.

1. I have Coolpad Halo Bluetooth: 4.0 Android 4.4.2 MediaTek MT6592

2. bild.prop everything as it should be policy "ro.product.model" in the "GT-I9500" and not only. + All the partitions on the vendor SAMSUNG

3. endured before installing previous versions did clean the cache and reboot

4. Tried to put all packets of paid application GearManager2

5. Tried to put a store and from Samsung Samsung Gear

6. Tried to put both the old and new sets of instructions with the HDA (of 5 varinatov)

In all cases we get one result.

When launching Samsung Gear I mate via Bluetooth phone for hours. The clock reset. After repeated pairings Samsung Gear each time to put one application (for the first time after installation puts more) and there is a constant and bskonechnoe podvklyuchenie. And nothing happens. What to do ???

Moreover, I took my wife Sony Xperia Z (MIUIv6) , a set of programs installed, and all connect without problems. Immediately it worked. I then did beks through TI. And carried on her phone as a result of the program starts, it displays the clock settings, firmware, and status are not connected. If Nada connect, it also beskoncheno trying to establish a connection.

What to do? where to look?

Maybe it's in the processor. Is that possible? This can be circumvented? Just get connected to another phone with MTK processor.I do a full reset and tried different solutions and assembly programs.

Anyone connected with the phone clock to the processor MTK? It can somehow get around? And Connect to MediaTek
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
1) you're going to have to get tasker to make the switch for you. It's a flaw when using a non Samsung device.

2) you're using a non Samsung device, you won't be able to do replies and such
[Samsung Gear S] osiris5180:
Thanks for the response, it shows me a message saying installing, after that it gives me the hostmanager error, then I try again from the begining and it keeps doing the same thing, I don't know if it is something different with the ROM I have, which is ViperOneM8 4.3.0 on a HTC One M8.

Thank you again.
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
Go to bluetooth and disable bluetooth that will stop the hostamanager error while you try a couple of things.

1st, Disable bluetooth

2nd, Close Gear Manager

3rd Uninstall Host Manager and Revert to the Old Hostmanager.

4th Enable bluetooth

5th open Gea

Manager and finish setup

Installation of Gear Manager apk fails with message, "There was a problem parsing the package." I'm trying to install on a Moto G, unrooted. In Settings>Security, "Unknown sources" is checked. Ideas?
[Samsung Gear S] osiris5180:
Something I notice, is that when the Gear Manager tries to install the new hostmanager, it doesn't show me the screen to cancel that installation, it just installs it in the background without any prompt, does anyone know how make it show that prompt screen....I am also blaming the ROM, but I'm not sure...I did the procedure you mentioned in a Nexus 4 running also Lollipop, and in that one it did showed me the prompt screen....any help will be appreciated....Thank you :)

Sorry for the late response..
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
Well since you can't cancel it just close out of the App all together if you are getting the Hostmanager Force close disable Bluetooth close the APP uninstall the Host Manager and install the Previous HotManager enable bluetooth and then open the app and it should connect
[Samsung Gear S] osiris5180:
Hello,

Thanks for the response, I have tried what you mentioned, still no luck...I even made a video...

https://www.youtube.com/embed/k8D7C8RbmDw
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
I skimmed the Video are you closing Gear Manager Prior to Deleting Hostmanager?
[Samsung Gear S] osiris5180:
Yes, I am closing it before deleting the Hostmanager, it seems that after I install the old hostmanager, the Gear Manager detects is an old version, and replace it with the new one, and it doesn't let me cancel that....
[Samsung Gear S] shokxdauser:
A question that may have been asked.

Hi all,

I'm currently transitioning from the Samsung note edge to the OnePlus One with SlimKat 4.4 and granted this question may have been asked but is there any good way to have the call forwarding work on the Gear S with the OnePlus? Currently my use is if I go to the gym and leave my phone at home.

I'm open to all options, suggestions.

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] jolly_roger_hook:
Maybe someone can hekp ive tired installing stub manager and it will not install on my nexus 6
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Don't use the lollipop gearmanagerstub.apk, it wasn't working right. Use the older one. Don't install it, copy and paste it into /system/app and then change its permissions and reboot.
[Samsung Gear S] ronaldheld:
I am finally going to try with a Nexus 6. Is there a different set of apps to download. I admit I have not read every post in a while.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Honestly, from experience, it all matters what ROM you have and some patience.

Post number 212 has a full workup on how to install it in here which will include a few reboots. After you get that done, depending on which ROM you're on, you might have to play with the saproviders.apk to figure out which one will work with your ROM. I have gear manager running as good as it can get on my nexus 6 running sokp, so it's very doable.

Good luck and holler with any issues.
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
Saproviders works with nexus6? So you can install wgt files directly from galaxy apps?

Oo
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
In order to use galaxy apps install, you have to modify the build.prop to make galaxy apps think you're actually on a Samsung device.

^--- screen shot just captured off my nexus 6

Fair warning, not all apps install correctly, and after you switch your build.prop back to nexus 6, some apps refuse to work.
[Samsung Gear S] jolly_roger_hook:
As soon as I open gear manger ibget download failed anyway to fix that
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
For downloading an app?

Are you issuing the modified galaxy app store that's somewhere here in this thread? It makes it run on non tw Roms. You need to have your build prop modified to think it's a Samsung device, info is listed in post 212. One of these days I'm going to sit down and document how I got things working. It's a pain in the ass and take a lot of patience because you have to deal with a lot of fc crap. Running the gear s and getting most is functionality is easy... Getting extras is a b***h!
[Samsung Gear S] jolly_roger_hook:
No downloading apps or anything just following post 212 and as soon as get to the step to connect to gear I get download failed
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Did you modify your build.prop and reboot and then verify that your build prop changes remained after reboot? I had read somewhere that some people were having trouble with getting their build prop changes to stick after reboot
[Samsung Gear S] Ultraman666:
I have searched the thread and cant seem to find the modified galaxy app store, you mind posting it? Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] jolly_roger_hook:
I got it to connect not but the Samsung gear app stays on the screen connecting to gear won't go past that i can makes calls but that's it with the gear manager app not loading past that screen no other features are avaiable
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
I need to find the apk again, it's on a thumb drive around here. Lol

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

Did you fix the build prop back to your original settings and then replace the host manager with the older one recommended in post 212?
[Samsung Gear S] jolly_roger_hook:
Yes I did followed that post step by step
[Samsung Gear S] Ultraman666:
Any luck finding that dang thumb drive :)?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Haven't had time to do anything until today and just put m on my nexus 9. Hold on

Can't find my thumb drive but I think this is thread where I originally found it.

[Samsung Gear S] dvd52:
I don't know if it can be helpful, but I just found that, if you have installed Xposed before you install all gear apps then nothing will work!

first install all gear apps and then install Xposed.

In my nexus 4 with cm12, works.

htc one m9 usage

hi guys. i'm using a htc one m9 stock.

i followed the steps mentioned.

everything seemed like it was going to work fine when it attempted to pair. it found the device, but "saproviders" and "hostmanager" force close. hostmanager continues to attempt to connect but fails. all i have is 2 devices w/ spinning wheels.

any solutions would be fantastic!
[Samsung Gear S] siamchen:
Hi mate, I did the similar thing on my Galaxy Note 3 AOSP Lollipop ROM and get the same error happen. I have to reset the phone to get ride of the error message. I did search lots of place and there is no cure for that.

What's "GalaxyManager.apk"?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Gear manager

I tested this procedure with gear s + lg g4 and not working. how do I fix?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Kind of hard to help you find solutions with such a vague description of your issue.
[Samsung Gear S] TeldenW:
I've downloaded all of the files from the OP

Latest version of Gear Manager and GearManagerStub from the first link

and all 8 of the "Extracted APKs" from the second link.

I follow the installaion instructions... When I'm downloading the "Extracted APKs" to my Nexus 6, the 6th file (Samsung Gear_com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager _2.2..........) fails when I try to download it. I've tried multiple times and I cannot get this file to load to my device.

Also, has anyone had any luck getting the Gear Manager software working with a PAIRED Gear S on a Nexus 6? Does the S HEALTH functionality work?

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Yes, I use my gear s on my nexus 6 everyday. I cannot give you any information about S health because I ripped that annoying application off my watch.

As far as the watch manager apk you're trying to install... Did you change your build.prop to make your device this its a Samsung? If you shoot me a pm, I'll run a tibu of my gear files that you can restore to your device. Also, I noticed you used the word "latest" referring to the apps, one thing I know for certain is that the latest lollipop gearmanagerstub won't work, you need the slightly older version and be sure to copy/paste it to system/app and fix the permissions; installing it doesn't do it right.
[Samsung Gear S] doczyus:
Dear Gurus!

I have HTC One M8 with stock Lollipop ROM, and I am trying to using Gear Manager with the Gear S. Step by step I am following the instruction. But: when I try to install the GearManagerStub.apk, can not installing. Just start the method, but finishing without installation. Have You got any idea for solution? Without its the HostManager force close, and only just I connecting to the Gear S, but can not do nothing..

Thank You!
[Samsung Gear S] TeldenW:
Thanks so much for the info! I can tell you that there are a FEW things that I've been doing incorrectly.

I'm going to take you up on that PM offer. I've sent one over to you.

Can you give me a heads up as to what version of the GearManagerSTUB that I'm going to need to use? Also, A quick review of the steps would be AWESOME

Similar error

Hi Tilden - I am getting the same error message, although this is for gear 2 (connecting from Samsung S3 on CM12.1). Did you happen to find a solution?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Start with post 212 in this thread. Yes he got great manager running on his nexus 6 with gear s.
[Samsung Gear S] Smaxsom:
I revisited post 212 and noticed there is a lollipop version of gearmanagerstub. I previously used the Kit Kat version that I downloaded a couple of months when I got Gear 2 working on CM11. So this might be the initial cause.

However, having an issue with the lollipop version. I downloaded the lollipop version, including the ARM folder, and moved it to system/apps. I changed permissions on the files to rww, and also changed permissions on the folder to match others in system/apps. I restarted the phone and receive a FC by gearmanagerstub on boot.

I will clear cache to see if that gives any luck.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Use the older gearmanagerstub. I use it on lollipop aosp and cm roms
[Samsung Gear S] Smaxsom:
Thanks for confirming. I am not sure what the issue could be in that case, if the old gearmanagerstub is to be used. Following off of post 212, I performed the steps:

1. Copied GearManagerStub.apk into /System/app/ and changed the permission

2/3/4. I edited the buildprop file and restarted. Afterwards I confirmed in Settings >About Phone that the model showed SM-G900T

5. Installed and Ran GalaxyManager.apk.

Note I am attempting to connect to gear 2 rather than gear s. When connecting I receive the same error as TeldenW:

Not sure what to try next. I don't seem to find gearmanagerstub in app manager though.
[Samsung Gear S] tvos:
I am a little confused about this part? You mentioned to download Gear Manager Latest Version and the GearManagerStub.apk

The latest I see is 2.2.15011799 - Is this GearManager and do I download the whole folder or just the Samsung Gear_2.2.15022599.apk?

I see two other folders Downloaded and Extracted. Are these needed as well?

Also, in the GearManagerStub folder there is the .apk and Lolliop. So I need this all as well?

I am hoping to get this working on my HTC M8 MIUI 6 rom.

Please advise and Thank You,

tvos
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
I will come break this out more in a few hours and get both y'all working.

I have to get some work done this morning and then I'll write everything out that I did with [MENTION=2723142]TeldenW[/MENTION] which got his stuff up and going and try to include all files, etc....
[Samsung Gear S] Smaxsom:
Thanks that would be great. I will try using your files when you post them. Quick update on my side. After abandoning efforts on post 212, I tried the steps from post 252 and I am getting hostmanager FC loops. Different behavior at least, but the hostmanager FC happens even if I use the older hostmanager.
[Samsung Gear S] tvos:
Thank You Sir.... I viewed all the postings in this thread but seems a little confusing in the initial post. If you need any help with this - graphics, screen shots, settings etc.. I can give you a hand.

Also, to let you know I am using MIUI 6 rom that might help others too

Appreciate it all your help and the original person who created this for us!

tvos
[Samsung Gear S] Smaxsom:
Thanks for providing further detail. I am unfortunately still encountering the original issue.

Note I am on Gear 2 rather than Gear S (hopefully these steps will apply). My device is Samsung Galaxy S3 on Android 5.1.1 using CM12.1 latest nightly.

Here are the steps I took, walking through your post

Uninstalled all Samsung Gear apps via Titanium Backup, aside from Galaxy Apps

Rebooted into recovery and cleared Cache and Dalvic Cache

Copied "old" GearManagerStub.apk to System/App directly (not in a subfolder) and changed permissions

Restarted

Already had copy made previously of Build.Prop file, and made note of these values

Old Value ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

Old Value ro.product.brand=samsung

Old Value ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

Installed Build Prop Editor and updated to these values:

New Value ro.product.model=SM-G900T

New Value ro.product.brand=Samsung

New Value ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung

Restarted

Verified in About phone that update was successful

Installed Samsung Gear_2.2.15022599.apk (I did not see anything specifically named "GalaxyManager.apk")

Remove previous Bluetooth pairing

Launched Samsung Gear app

Paired with Gear 2 and connected

Immediately received the error: "Unable to connect to the gear. Connecting to the gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated. Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software."

Also briefly received another error overlaying the first: "Download URL not avaiable, Can't launch Plugin!" (Note spelling mistake is in the error).

The error happens even before it begins downloading software. This is around the point where I previously switched over to following Post 252. In that case, when installing all the components manually, it made it further in the process, but I then received HostManager FC errors.

It seems like one of the other additional APKs must be needed to be installed first before it gets past the above error for me about my device not being supported.

Does anything stand out in the steps that I noted above?

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Upon further trial and error, I found that Gear Module is what needed to be installed in order to get past the error about my device compatibility. I installed that, launched gear manager, and it downloaded the remaining components. Even so, I am still getting the Host Manager FC errors.

Anyone have additional recommendations? By the way, does Samsung Apps need to be installed prior to the listed steps?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Did you replace the host manager file with the one in my post, originally from post 212?

There isn't any differences in this install method whether it's gear 1, 2, or S. I have used this install method with all three with no issues.
[Samsung Gear S] Smaxsom:
Along with GearModule being required before install, I also noticed saproviders does not automatically install. I've been experiment for quite a while and still getting Hostmanager Fc errors.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

I confirm, HostManager 2.2.1410029.

Your instructions are thorough and I followed them as close as I could. Yet with the example of the GearModule needing installed first, something seems different on my side.

Trying to install the latest cm nightly build in case for some reason there was any glitch. Otherwise not sure what else I could try unless factory resetting CM12.1 on my phone. Which may or may not help.
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Saproviders won't work right and it's an amazing trick to get it to work. Don't stress yourself about that. Uninstall host manager and reboot, then reinstall it.

Isn't this watch fun? That's one of the many reasons I'm done with Samsung. Actually have my new lg watch en route via FedEx. Can't wait.

Anyone want to buy a lightly used gear s or gear 1? Already sold the gear 2
[Samsung Gear S] Smaxsom:
[MENTION=4893726]aeroxr1[/MENTION] Did you find out the issue? I received a similar error log.
[Samsung Gear S] gabesir:
Will this step work on a note 3 /cm12???
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Did it on there too. You have to use a slightly older gear manager app but I can't recall which one. I think it's about the third oldest of I remember right.
