I wasted a lot of time in trying to make my Gear works on my Elephone P7000 without results...

I tried a lot of different tutorials but nothing worked. I bought a new smartwatch Zeblaze Crystal for 50$. It's quite a good smartwatch for its price but far behind my Gear S.

It's really sad that Samsung did not manage to find a solution for people like who their Samsung phone died. My gear S is also died when my phone did. For sure, I won't do this double mistake and won't never buy a samsung smartphone neither than a very limited usage smartwatch like Gear S which would never be 100% compatible with another smartphone brand...

[Samsung Gear S] hamizal:
You do not need to be Rooted you do not need to Edit your Build Prop. (Unless you are Running a Samsung Tablet or another Tablet) Phones should work without root or editing your build prop.

I just updated my HTC One M8 to the Newest Rom with the Official RUU (Lollipop 5.0.2 / 4.25.654.14)

I zipped Everything for you, and you can download it from my Dropbox here Samsung Gear S 2.2.15022599

I downloaded all of the Gear S 2.2.15022599

1st, Installed Gear 2.2.15022599 (First)

2nd, Install Everything in Extracted Folder

3rd, Install Everything in the Downloaded Folder

4th, Open Samsung Gear and Pair your Device let it go through it's routine of reseting your Gear, Once the Gear has been reset you will get an Error Host Manager Has forced Close.

5th, Disable Bluetooth (this stops the force closing)

6th, Uninstall Host Manager

7th, Install Host Manager 2.2.14102499 (Inside the Install After you get Host Manager Force close Folder)

8th, Enable Bluetooth

9th, Open Samsung Gear (Cancel ANY and ALL Updates)

It should now go to the Next Screen for the Privacy Notice ETC, Voila you are done now you can setup your Device.

Phone Calls Work, Text Messages Work, Application Notifications Work, Changing Clocks from App works, Here App Works, Nike + Works, Contacts Work,

Svoice only works with Samsung Devices

Weather Only works and shows on Samsung Devices with Touchwiz

Music transfer and image Transfer does not work.

(To get apps to your Gear S you will need to be rooted and edit your build prop to get samsung store installed BUT installation of apps isn't working properly so that is a bust still)

Thanks to [MENTION=433066]Akram[/MENTION] and [MENTION=352841]Brendo[/MENTION] for providing the Files... I just found a Workaround for Lollipop, and thanks to Everyone Else who has helped elaborate and help others with getting this to work.

Anyone able to get this to work on Android 6.0.? Tried this on a nexus 6 and it doesn't work now. Worked on 5.1.1

Hello guys.. For me it's not possible to skip auto installation of hostmanager after installing the old version (point 9) and so it goes in FC..

Nexus 5 on stock rooted 4.4.4.

Can't seem to get notifications to work at all. Followed the entire tutorial, got to the EULA agreement, etc. All apps are checked; I enabled them in the Settings as well, but nothing comes through to the watch.

EDIT:

okay, got the notifications to display by uninstalling the goproviders as well as the SAproviders and reinstalling them from the ExtractedAPKs zip earlier in the thread. Question, though - no matter what I do, I can't get the watch to vibrate when notifications pop up.

Good evening,

So, I just got the LG V10 and trying to follow this method. The one from the OP did not work for me and saw this. I was able to get it all installed, opened the gear manager and it saw my gear s and made it reset. Then, the watch reboot and in the gear manager it just sticks in the connecting to gear screen and loops... meanwhile, the whole time the saproviders non-stop force closes on me.. can't do anything. Had to uninstall the saproviders to get that to stop but samsung gear just stays on the connecting screen.

any ideas or updates to get this working?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
Did you use the files i linked and provided? and make sure you follow steps 5-7 with the files I provided.
[Samsung Gear S] Zugshad:
yes.. i followed the instructions and used all the files you provided in that link.

It all installs, i ran samsung gear and it saw my gear, and initiated the process.. once my gear saw that my v10 wanted to pair, it wanted me to reset, as this happened (gear started to reset) gear app started the pair process (code) onec this part finished saproviders started FC'ing non-stop. gear rebooted and got the initial screen (download gear app blah blah) then you go to next screen and shows gear name and to start pairing process.. during this gear app on phone is trying to connect non-stop with saproviders still fc'ing. i had to uninstall saproviders to stop it (turning off bluetooth did nothing for this).. at no point in this process did i get to the host manager force close part...

this is where i am..i went ahead and tried uninstalling the host manager and installing the new one in your list, it installed, did an update on it.. but gear app is still looping at trying to connect to the gear... ive restarted both as a test.. still same..
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
uninstall and install the apps i gave if it tries to update CANCEL it DENY it don't let it update if it updates it wont work.
[Samsung Gear S] Zugshad:
ok uninstalled it all that i found, re-booted... then reinstalled them all as per instructions.. opened up gear app.. it showed my gear on there and gave me 1 FC for saproviders so far.. i hit ok and it hasnt come back as of yet.. right now it is still doing "connecting to gear" and nothing has come up on either with a code to pair..

that is where i am at currently

edit: still sat there,, so went in and unpaired it.. reloaded gear app and it saw it, hit it and it showed code on both.. now back to "connecting to gear" again... no FC from anything.. gonna let it sit here for a bit... did it take a while for yall?

edit 2: a text came in and the saprovider FC spam has commenced. the saprovider is 2.0.434 that came in the folder if that matters

So I've followed these steps three times, deleted all files and tried again (after failure each time).

The phone gear manager finds the device but the result I always get is "host error force quit" BEFORE my gear is ever reset. It finds my gear but never resets the device. Right now my gear S is in standalone mode.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you or anyone else had an issue using this to control music players on your device? If so, is there a fix currently? Thanks for the post by the way....
[Samsung Gear S] -LBT-:
The music player on Gear S isn't controlling the music on the phone; it only plays the files on its own storage.
[Samsung Gear S] refuse2bstopped:
It gives you the option to control the music on it or control a music player on the connected th device. When in music player you click those three little dots at the top right and it gives the option to switch back and forth between the two.
[Samsung Gear S] -LBT-:
Correct - it "gives you the option". However, I case of Gear S with non-Samsung phones (what this thread is about), this function isn't working.
[Samsung Gear S] refuse2bstopped:
I know "what this thread is about," but when you say "the music player on Gear S," without any indication that you're referring specifically to when it's on non Samsung devices it lead me to assume you meant the Gear S in general, as in maybe you've never used the feature I was asking about before, and that's why I replied to you with that comment.

good evening everyone!!! I do not speak English well, I'll try to explain the best ... if I buy the gear s2 I can install the gearmanager and all software from playstore and everything works !!! so if I modify the gear s to look like the gear s2 (with a method similar to that of build.prop on the phone) I can follow the normal procedure and install gearmanager and all the software and everything works.

Now, as gear s is very similar to the gear s2, is possible to change gear s to look like to gear s2?

I can confirm that your steps work! For anyone looking to get this working follow the below and it will work. As kingakuma states you do not need to be rooted and you do not need to mess with the buildprop for this to work. I have an LG4 non rooted and i was able to get this working :laugh: I attempted the steps from the OP however there was a file that would not install (forget which one) and my device would not pair. I know there is a newer version of the Gear Manager however thats the one that would not pair my device so i used the one below and wham paired! Once again man thanks a bunch!

Hey Guys

Just a quick question. I just purchased the Nexus 6p and it came with 6.0. I am reading that people have been able to connect and get notifications on the watch with non-samsung phones but I seem to not be able to. I was just wondering is it most likely that my phone has 6.0 or if I am doing some wrong and thus why its not working. Just wondering if I should keep the phone and wait for an updated way for 6.0 or send it back. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
Gear S isn't working with Nexus 6P running Android 6.0. You can get the two paired, but can't get the Gear Manager App to connect the two. While paired together (bluetooth connected), all phone calls to your phone get answered through the watch (not what you want to do unless you have a headset). The only way to receive text notifications on your watch is to install a "forward SMS" app. However, all texts that you get on your watch displays as coming from your phone, not the person who originally sent it to you.

[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
Has done that to me in the past too, you can reset the watch yourself w/out it doing it own its own. However, resetting doesn't matter, you will eventually go through all of those steps again and end up with the same result...............stuck at connecting to Gear. Samsung needs to either provide a firmware update to the watch so that it can work with newer, non-Samsung devices (running Android 6.0 or previous ones), or modify the Gear Manager app so we can use our Gear S like it should be used. I was hoping by now someone would have figured out a way for us to modify our devices or the gear app to get it working, but doesn't look like its happening any time soon............guess I'll have to buy an Android Wear type of watch. Supposedly, the new Gear S2 watch works with it.........but it doesn't have a speaker which is a bummer.

[Samsung Gear S] audiowikid:
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I am not sure why it is not working for you but if you have installed any of the Samsung Gear apps on your device i would recommend that you uninstall all of them, just look though your installed apps and remove anything that has the orange GEAR icons or anything using that word. I think you may have the newest version of Gear because it did that with mine as well, you have to use the version mentioned it is not the newest but it worked for me.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:18 PM ----------

Within your device just go to Settings>Apps look through your installed apps on your device and you will see the Host Manager app installed, it will have an orange Gears icon. Uninstall that and then keep following the instructions.

[Samsung Gear S] :
I think the problem is the incompatibility of the shared apk. Only this "older" version of the gear manager is working on non galaxy devices. And i think this "older" version is incompatible with android 6 and above... On Samsung devices you can use the newest version from PlayStore. So they dont have any issues.

I tried to put the new hostmanager.apk along with the older gear manager version but i even can not connect to my gear s with android 6.0 and above. So i will be stuck at 5.1.1 until android wear will work on the gear s.

But there is another problem... Every time i try to manage apps on my gear s i got force close from saprovider. Any ideas?
