I see on the Google Play Store that the Gear Manager App (the plugin version) was updated December 10th. Did this update allow our Gear S to work with non-Samsung device running Android 6.0? I'm currently not using my Gear S, bought an Asus Zenwatch for the time being and my son is using the Gear S.
[Samsung Gear S] Miiscad:
Once I get to step 4 the Samsung gear app says to me " Download failed. Try again" I have let it sit and have tried to hit try again over and over. But nothing. Can't get it to pair to the app. Any idea?

Phone I'm running is the LG V10

Looking to upgrade my S5 to LGV10, and i have the Gear S

So I got myself the Gear S, and so far very happy about it and all its capabilities, Have been reading that to continue i need to get another samsung phone like the Note5, but im pretty much liking the LGV10 over the Note5 for my next smartphone, however i was curious if there was anyway to get my Gear S to work fully on the LG V10?
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
I expect we'll get (or should) an update to the Gear Manager App for the Gear S sometime soon. I think we've figured out that the Gear S doesn't work with any non-Samsung device running Marshamallow..............when the Galaxy phones get updated to 6.0, I'm hoping the Gear App will get updated too, so keep your fingers crossed.

Oh I don't have that error on my G2 but I guess revert model back might be help, if not you may need to remove all gear related app and reinstall it again.

This thread has a version of the Samsung Apps apk which can be installed on non-touchwiz phones: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2593004

For it to work I believe you need to do the build.prop edit (changing the model, brand, and manufacturer), however doing that bricked my Nexus 5.
[Samsung Gear S] biswasd:
all -

here is an alternate method to connect to non- samsung phones....not sure if there is any benefit to this method, so just saying......

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOq5S3lMx00
[Samsung Gear S] oleyb:
After doing the build.prop edit on my Nexus 5 to change just the model to "GT-I9500" I was able to install and open the Galaxy Apps app store apk. I can locate Gear apps, but when I tap install, it says "waiting..." then hangs on "installing..." indefinitely.

However, I realized that since it was stuck on the install step, the app must have downloaded the .wgt file to a temporary location on the phone while it's waiting to send it to the device. Well, this turns out to be true, and if your phone is rooted you can pull it from your phone to your computer using "adb pull /data/user/0/com.sec.android.app.samsungapps/files/FILENAME.wgt", and then use the Tizen SDK and the SDB tool to install the application to the watch using "sdb install FILENAME.wgt". In that folder the .wgt file will have a crazily long filename, I suggest renaming it using root browser to make it easier to type the adb pull command.

Now we can get apps to our Samsung Galaxy Gear S without a Samsung phone! Wohoo!
[Samsung Gear S] Akram.:
Can you post a tutorial pls? From the beginning? Also Watch Styler is working for you? Did you transfer custom made watch faces to Gear S?
[Samsung Gear S] Faccion:
It would be great if some one could post a video on how to download and install Samsung Gear and rite after on the same video install the Samsung Apps Store. And connect all that, so it work!

I personally have managed to make work the Gear Manager but when I install the Samsung Apps Store and change the build.prop edit to Samsung... The store work but the Gear Manager crashes and dosent connect and a " unfortunately, host manager has stopped" message keep popping out!

I think Gear Manager and Samsung Apps store are 2 things that go together, so it will be nice to see how to install this 2 app from start to finish.

I have a rooted Xperia Z Ultra. I installed all the apks, changed model in build.prop to GT-I9500 and successfully installed the Galaxy Store.

However, the firmware update app seems to be crashing constantly.
[Samsung Gear S] gingy13:
i still cant edit the build.prop

my phone is rooted but when i try to edit the build.prop it keeps reverting back

i've tried ES file explorer , ROM Toolbox , and Rootbox and have changed the directory and file to RW

[Samsung Gear S] scrai:
OK, after syncing ith a non-touch-wiz phone:

Email gone.

Calendar gone.

Weather gone.

S-Health on phone cannot log in

Notifications unreliable.

I thought: Cool, Whats App, Facebook and a Browser on my watch without needing a phone. In fact, without a newer Samsung phone this is capable of nothing besides calls , sms and subpar navigation. Returning it tomorrow since I just got an XPERIA Z Ultra a week ago and will not be returning this one. This is such a shame since the onscreen keyboard is suprisingly accurate .
[Samsung Gear S] gingy13:
I really thought you would be able to sign in to google on your watch and retrieve all your notifications that are web-based or any other web-based application.

Samsung locked this thing down to where you NEED a samsung phone, there's no question about it. You even have to re-format the watch once you try to sync to another device to stop people from porting in apps by using a samsung phone that's not your main device.
[Samsung Gear S] ahmad80:
This work around might not work on Lollipop devices I tried on the 2nd gen moto x running 5.0 but it wont open the gear app but on the LG 3 running kitkat it opened
[Samsung Gear S] Stoodo:
I'm kicking around the idea of getting the Nexus 6 or the Note Edge to pair with my Gear S (to replace my Note 3)

I guess this is somewhat pushing me to the Edge. (no pun intended) hmmmm
[Samsung Gear S] ahmad80:
It could be only me we need other people with Android 5.0 to try and see if not then the Edge is a good choice but before you do make sure you play with it a little because of the curved screen it might be uncomfortable
[Samsung Gear S] scrai:
The main problem is that very basic apps that are the bread and butter of a smartwatch (or any smart device whatsoever) like the email client, calendar, hell even the alarm clock, simply vanish from the app selection once you pair it with a non-samsung device that uses non-Touch Wiz applications on the phone side. S-Health stays, but you cannot sync with your phone since you are not able to log in on the phone app because it requires an active samsung account under android settings. This leaves you with sms, phone calls, notifications, here maps and opera mini. The latter is suprisingly decent as is the on screen keyboard. I will not however blow another 150 EUR by selling my brand new Xperia Z Ultra in order to replace it with a Note 3 Neo or something which is more expensive but has worse specs in nerly every department (and doens't look as cool). It also sucks that you cannot use BT and wi-fi at the same time, so you are not able to keep connected to your phone when in need of wi-fi.

Also developement seems to be a pain in the ass. I was trying to build and install a Tizen sample Facebook Reader but I kept banging my head against the certificate signing process (Yes I am a computer science major, I am aware of the general principle and did everything according to the online tutorial). Since this is Tizen, support on the web is also scarce.

I'll replace it with a sony smartwatch 3. It's 130 EURs cheaper, works with any Android device and also has offline music play and navigation. I am keeping the Gear Circle thoughsince the magnet thingy is rather cool.

Keep Email, Schedule, Weather

If you want to keep Email, Schedule, Weather app, Let try install "saproviders" before pairing, it's work on my LG G2.

BTW Email & Schedule seem not working since it's required Samsung phone

In other hand Weather seem working when BT disconnect and build-in GPS got fix

Anyway I found error "saproviders stop working" every time that I reboot a phone but everything seem working fine, notification still got through as usual.

Email setting will appear in Gear Manager but every time I try to setup email "goprovider stop working" will follows
[Samsung Gear S] oleyb:
I believe I updated gear manager through the app store. Give that a shot and see if it fixes the crash.
[Samsung Gear S] devinpatterson:
But if you followed kingakuma's tutorial, music transfer and image Transfer does not work through the gear app, nor does app installation, so you can't use a third party app like bluetooth file transfer . From my perusal of the thread, these obstacles haven't been overcome. I can live with usb for file transfer (although it isn't nearly as convient for me as BT), but even though the tizen ecosystem is relatively small, giving up all 3rd party apps completely really seems to hobble the gear s (IMHO).

Or have I misread/misunderstood the current status of the hack?
[Samsung Gear S] boomtngz:
Cant connect

Great tutorial but unfortunately cant pair with any non samsung device.

Devices I tried oneplus2 and xperia z3+(z4)

I have tried the apps on thread but no luck I even took latest updates from my galaxy S4 (which it works with as long as its on stock rom) but no luck.

Really getting P#@#ed off as I brought this after researching, thinking it will work as last week I purchased gear 2 neo. That hit a dead end as well.

Please can someone help!!!:crying::crying:

Gear app installation not working.- YES You are right.

Gear app installation not working.- YES You are right.

I played a long time with Samsung Gear. Installed custom rom, recovery, brick, install android os, Install launcher, tethering to browse website. and playing youtube video. After this, I discovered that watch is watch because too small to watch and touch screen. So I decide to go back to Tizen .

Now I am able to get various notification like phone, message, hangout, email, kakaotalk and PEDOMETER. etc...

Also, after new update, I am able to connect with Gear. I can play music without phone while I am playing.(This is nice)

One more to have gear is. If I need to have Android pay, I need to make the phone lock(ex, pattern) but if i pair with Gear, I do not need to have it.

Anyway, It is not complete and some of functions are not working but I am happy as it is.

Pair with Nexus 6 os 5.1.1.

Finally, It just my opinion and by changing my view point, I am happy with incomplete or rack of function.

Thank you.

Hello,

First, I would like to give my appreciation for your work on trying to pair this wonderful smart phone-watch and others Android Phones,

I bought my one of this hoping that I could pair with my Huawei P8 Max, unfortunately I found that impossible.

Finally I reach to pair (after I try several methods) through the method of the post 252 mad by "kingakuma" but I have no notification and no possibility to install any app just phone calls.

That is all I can have ? or is there other (newer) things I can try.

I will be really disappointed if I have to sell on of this wonderful devices, because Samsung wants to have that "especial particularity" (I mean nont let us to disfrut of the benefit of technology just becaus wants gear s run just on his devices) and we have to accept.

Thank you again

After several tries, I have used this method to successfully pair my non-rooted Gear 2 to my HTC One M8, running Skydragon ROM 2.0.0. (Marshmallow based custom Sense). Replaced saproviders with an older version and also got the Media Controller functioning! Thank you!
[Samsung Gear S] yroldmail:
Which version of saproviders did you use? Also do you mean controlling Pandora that is running on your phone from your watch?
[Samsung Gear S] xcr099932:
I used version 2.0.87, and it is allowing me to fully control Poweramp Media player on my HTC. Play/Pause, Track Seek, and Volume adjustment all work.

Rundown of what's working.

Currently Working:

Phone Calls

Notifications

Media Controller

Camera Transfer,

WatchOn Remote

Partially Working:

Bluetooth Reconnect. (If the watch itself disconnects, then it has to be reconnected manually, but if the phone's bluetooth shuts off and then turns back on, it will reconnect automatically. Will also connect automatically at boot)

What's NOT Working

S-Voice (Samsung only, not testing.)

E-Mail (saproviders FC's everytime I try to add an account.)

Settings (Gear Plugin FC's when I try to access settings.)

Weather (Samsung Only, not testing as it is a software issue.)

All S-Fitness related apps. (Samsung Only, not testing.)

Hi, I cam beach with better notices,

Finally, after many hours of rounding on this forum and play with my Gear s and my P8 Max, i reach to pair them. ( I try so many combinations and settings that I don't remember exactly what I made)

Any how I could not find the way to instal new Apps. In the app Samsung Gear I could not find a way to install some apps.

So, if somebody know how to instal apps on my gear s or on my phone in order to make my gear s an more usable gadget, please let me know.

Thank you and best regards.
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
you need to have the Gear S paired with another Samsung phone.................................btw, since the P8 Max is a Huawei phone, get a Huawei watch running Android Wear; your Gear S (running Tizen) will not work with any other non-Samsung device
[Samsung Gear S] eliasmanu:
First of all, thank you for your reply, (even, I not expect that answer). Huawei watch is also a great smartwatch but is not my interest now.

I hope are also other methods to put some apps on the Gear S,

So please, if somebody knows other methods do not hesitate to share.

Thanks again
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
My hope is when Samsung updates their devices to Marshmallow, they will have to update the Gear S to be able to run on Android 6.0. As of now, the Gear S will not work as it should on non-Samsung devices. You can get it blue-tooth connected, but the watch will act as a bluetooth headset whenever your phone receives a phone call............also, you will not get notifications.
[Samsung Gear S] eliasmanu:
Now, because of the efforts of some great developers on this post and not only, I'm running on the P8 Max the Samsung Gear app and i could benefit from some features of this apps (i mean, I have notification and calls services on my gear S)

The only think i need more is to instal apps on my gear.

Now I found this http://xdaforums.com/gear-s/development/dev-gear-s-android-port-t3177740 which I think is an way to have some apps, but I have to read a beet more in order to understand the method.

Thank you again

PS: I think the hope of all the possessors of Gear S is the work of user " biktor_gj " ( which I would like to give my appreciation on this way), hopping will make android wear running on the Gear S. I'm sure this is no easy work and for one of us (first my) is something impossible (and if some of us will donate a very small amount, I'm pretty sure it will help, at list at the community of the developers).
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
I believe that's Android ported to the watch, not Android Wear.
[Samsung Gear S] eliasmanu:
There are some rumors and a lot of hopes to have an android wear on our devices.

But I think we have to have paciency and to participate each one with some help.
[Samsung Gear S] andrew.mackew:
What files are you using to get these things working? Could you please upload to somewhere and give us some directions?
[Samsung Gear S] xcr099932:
Here's what I did.

Link to Files: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager

1. I went into the gear manager stub file, and then the Lollipop folder located in that folder. Downloaded, installed in /system/app and corrected the permissions.

2. Downloaded Samsung Gear Manager 2.2.15022599, and installed all of the extracted APKS. goproviders and saproviders will crash when installed.

3. I then restarted my phone, and wiped both the cache and dalvik cache. I then proceeded to open gear manager. (Make sure to do this with your data and WiFi connections turned OFF)

4. I opened Gear Manager and attempted to sync my gear 2 with the phone, and HostManager kept crashing. Hitting the home button, I went into the app manager and uninstalled HostManager. I then installed the HostManager from the 2.2.14100299 version of Gear Manager using ES File Explorer.

5. I quickly turned off the Bluetooth connection on my HTC, and then turned it back on. The watch said connection failed, then attempted to sync again, and managed to successfully sync, taking me to the terms and conditions page.

6. The media controller fix I discovered on accident while trying to get E-mails working. Saproviders kept crashing when trying to go to the option, so I uninstalled SAproviders and installed version 2.0.87. Can't remember what version of Gear Manager it came from. This caused the media controller to start working with no problems. E-mails manage to get to the next screen, then crashes when attempting to setup an account.

So basically I followed the method I quoted, using the poster's dropbox link to the correct files. I hope that helps.

Just to confirm, you followed the steps below, and your HTC device that runs Marshmallow connects to your Gear S and works completely as if you were paired with a Samsung device?
[Samsung Gear S] xcr099932:
Yes, it allows my Samsung Gear 2 to connect to my HTC One. Some apps are not working as they require proprietary features only found on Samsung's Touchwiz Roms. But for the most part, it syncs, receives notifications, calls, transfers pictures, and can control Poweramp without a problem.

And the device I'm syncing is a Samsung Gear 2, running unrooted Tizen 3.0. HTC One M8 is rooted, unlocked, S-OFF, and running SkyDragon Rom 2.0.0 which is Marshmallow, Android 6.0, Sense version 7.0
