Ok so I got it to work buy slightly different.

I have to leave my build prob as samsung, let it install all the apps including host manager. Then remove the hostmanager it installed change the build props back to goog and reboot. Then install the build prop you said ^.

I go the phone paired and showing time and calls working through it. I'm stuck when I try and open the Samsung app now. I get "Unfortunately Gear Plugin has Stopped."

Any clues?

Thanks for this wonderful thread.

i'm a iPhone 6+ user (AT&T unlimited data) running on 8.1 jailbroken. I don't own any of the Samsung phones except HP Touchpad (32GB) which is running 4.4.4 Kitkat. and managed to sideload the Samsung Gear Manager and seems to be loading properly. I wanted to get Samsung Gear S ($199 AT& T locked) to be paired with iPhone and wanted to get some expert advice. Couple of questions I have:

1. If I don't unlock Gear S from AT&T, can I still use with iPhone 6+ and does it have to be still rooted to get notifications, text messaging between the phone and the watch?

2. I wanted to use Endomondo fitness app (already installed on the HP Touchpad running KitKat 4.4.4) to transfer HR monitor data, cal. burnt, steps, distance etc from the watch (Endomondo companion) to the tablet version of Endomondo. Is it possible?

3. Lastly, this is more of a Endomodo or any fitness app question: Say, if I wanted to do Shaun T's Insanity, before I start the workout, I wanted to start the timer on the watch so that it calculates my resting heart rate, continuously monitor my HR, cal. burnt, distance traveled, steps etc and transfer to the tablet via bluetooth?. The Samsung S Health app has a Exercise option that AFAIK has only 4 fixed fitness options. Does Endomondo do what I want or is there any other better third party fitness app that works wonders?. All I need is track all metrics during my Insanity workout and once my workout finishes, automatically transfer all the data that the watch has captured to the HP Touchpad tablet.

I can also get a Gear 2 Neo but my preference is to get a bigger screen on the watch (2 inches on the Gear S).

Sorry for the long post.

Appreciate reply which will help me in my buying decision.

Thanks.

I second this. Have the exact same problem.
[Samsung Gear S] Ultraman666:
Got mine working on my oneplus one, but I had to delete the host manager, then reinstall it with my original build prop. Bang it worked perfect.

The only issue I have now is trying to get watch styler to work, I don't see it in gear manager. I have the latest from gear faces, but it didn't show its the gear s version, maybe that's the issue? Any help would be great thanks guys

I've got a little problem : 5) I can't login Samsung because 'Samsung s'est arrêté" in english "Samsung has stopped". I can launch Galaxy apps but I can't download wgt and I can't connect gear :/
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
Edit : Gear S is connected to my old Note 10.1, I just have to change build.prop

ro.product.model : SM-G900F

AND

ro.product.characteristics : phone (instead of tablet)

Because two others are already samsung.

I can install all apps form Samsung Apps but I can find wgt to share them :/

[Samsung Gear S] vijay16:
Old note? Do u mean the first Note 10.1?

So all u did was change build.prop and everything else work as it supposed to be?
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
Yes first Note 10.1 (not 2014 which is full compatible with Gear S).

I change just the two line in build.prop (I don't test with ro.product.model=SM-P600 for Note 10.1 2014) and the problems are :

App not in landscape mode, due to phone model I think ;

No weather, alarm. App disapear when connect to tablet ;

S Health not working.

I'm searching the apps to copy them to my Nexus 5.
[Samsung Gear S] vijay16:
Apps disappear?

Does call forwarding works?

I would love to get a gear s but the only thing stopping me is the limitation of using a samsung phone to install apps. Got a note 10.1 around and your post just lit my eyes. So ifthis combo gonna work I'm surely getting a gear s tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
Some apps disappear when you connect to a non official Samsung phone/tablet : alaram, weather and 1 other (don't remember).

With Nano SIM you can call and send SMS but autonomy become very low (some hours in 2G/3G vs 2/3 days in bluetooth).

Next time you launch Gear Manager, you can accept update for Host Manager.

Nope. Everything looked good until my gear said waiting for gear app and host manager stopped working.

Gear S and Xperia Z3

Connected my Gear S with stock Xperia Z3. Had to use old host and old plugins. After thst, everything was just Joy....except......no gear app management. No way of adding apps.....help..... :/

[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
I change ROM this morning and I have some problem with reinstalling Gear Manager and other apps so I restore with Titanium Backup the apps from Note 10.1 and it works fine.

Only crash with saproviders so I uninstall it.

I make a zip file with all the apps (including saproviders) so if you're root, you can test.

Hope this will work for you.

one max + gear s

Hello friends! I've just paired my Gear s with my htc one max, it's all right, but i have one problem. When someone calls me and i answer by tapping on the phone, the default speaker is watches. On samsung devices, if i will tap on answer on phone i will speak on the phone, if i tap on watches - wathches speaker is activating. Is the any possability to made this on HTC?
[Samsung Gear S] Megaflop666:
Its because its not a Samsung device and 100% compatibility isn't going to be there. Download tasker and create a task to have it switch from watch to phone when you answer or place calls. That's what I had to do to stop that with my nexus 6.
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:

Not working

Not working with 2014 edition :(
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
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.

Unzip file in Titanium Backup folder, launch TiBu and restore app & data.

With your method, did you have weather app on Gear S, can you transfert picture & music and install app from Samsung Gear Apps?
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
[MENTION=4234902]t2bacdp[/MENTION] You have to be connected to a Samsung Device to Keep weather it's built into the touchwis and as soon as it syncs to any other device (non samsung) it's automatically hidden.

I don't run music on my Gear S But I will check.

[MENTION=4234902]t2bacdp[/MENTION] No it does not work it force closes goproviders I even tried an older version and it still force closes...
[Samsung Gear S] t2bacdp:
No way to have weather app? Installing apk on the phone?

For picture/music transfert, I have goproviders force close, did you have this too?

And for installation apps, I think the problem is the old version of HostManager but new one force close :/

Thank you very much! Its a big improvement. I'm with xperia z3 stock with lolipop 5.02.

Any advice and solutions will be appreciated!

[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
[MENTION=302178]yavhadjiev[/MENTION] have you tried uninstalling and using an older version of goproviders..

Also when you fist set up notifications after you select the notifications you want make sure to reopen notifications so you can set gear s to receieve them it should take you to someplace different for that.

Hi!

I got it working again.

Reinstalled everything. Force close on Hostmanager.

I had to restore build.prop to stock because with modified build.prop, Hostmanager FC all the time.

Downside to this.....I really want gear apps to work cuz I need watchmanager on my watch. Besides that, all the other apps are POS.

Any way around this to get gear apps working? Gear apps didn't even work with build.prop set to SGS5.

Please help :)

Go to your Bluetooth Settings On your Phone and Disable Bluetooth then go into your apps uninstall HostManager and install an Older Version of Host Manager, Once you install new Host Manager turn bluetooth on and Try the Gear App again.

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

Please Remember the Watch is connected Via bluetooth (ie a secondary Device) so the Dialer on the Device will only show Calls MADE and or Received via the (Phone Number of the Gear S) Not from a Bluetooth Source Device using the Gear S as a Secondary speaker. (so only the phone will have that history)

I try one more time but not connected.Many thanks for the help
[Samsung Gear S] gdraanen:
1) I find the writeup somewhat lacking -- not sure which exact files would be needed (OP speaks of 'the other .apk' )

probably would need some more detail. Can OP provide some more details ?

2) I already have/had the Samsung T235 working on GearManager, full function as far as I could tell

(The T235 is currently 'in replacement' due to a non-working Sim card slot )

3) Copy music/ Images doesn't need any part of the GearManager.

From your computer, using the Samsung USB driver and the GearS attached, you can drop the files straight into the appropriate directories. (See XDA part on the definitive guide for GearS rooting....)

Good initiative !!
[Samsung Gear S] MrBinary:
Most of my Gear S is working, which is great but the parts I'm really interested in are the text messages and controlling my music from the Gear. Neither of these functions work. When I try to send a message the gear tells me I'm not connected to a mobile device, even though everything else seems to work and the music control gives me no feedback whatsoever. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Gear, but this leads to me having to reinstall everything again. Also notifications aren't being sent to the Gear.

This is all on an LG G3, by the way.

EDIT: Without doing anything, the notifications appear to have started working out of no where. Still no luck with the out-going texts or music control though.

EDIT 2: If I react quickly enough to a text notification I am able to use the reply feature, however if I take too long or try to compose my own message I get the error about not being connected to a device.

Thanks.

I have one old galaxy nexus with cm 11. For once time with an old version of gearmanager I got the goal to connect to my galaxy gear s, but sadly the galaxy manager is too old and say to me to update and the app exits.. I try to follow this first post guide with the last version and I have followed [MENTION=2143929]kingakuma[/MENTION] post, but there is one and big problem : the app force close at the start. I don't know why, and when the app doesn't close by itself it doesn't found my galaxy gear s.

I don't think that is smartphone's fault because I can see the watch in the smatphone bluetooth scan :fingers-crossed:

now I'm trying the post 212 method : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59846429&postcount=212

With build.prop edited the app doesn't crash but doesn't find the gear s. Now I'm resetting the gear s.

Do you have any suggest to give me ? :D

UPDATE : the app still to doesn't find the gear s :(

UPDATE 2 : I follow this tutorial : http://xdaforums.com/gear-2/general/guide-connecting-gearmanager-cm11-t2960831 and the gearmanager found the smartwatch but doesn't connect to it, remain in a connection loop :(

Does anybody know how I can get my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5100) running Kitkat 4.4.4 working with my Samsung Gear S smartwatch?

I have installed the latest Gear Manager and indeed, tried all versions to no avail.

I'm shocked that the Note 8.0 which is loosely based on the Note 2, has no Gear manager support.

The Gear S is the perfect companion for the Samsung Note 8.0 which is so huge, you wouldn't want to hold it up to your ear anyway. I don't get it - basically, Samsung have shot themselves in the foot by not providing automatic compatibility between these great devices.

If anyone has actually got their Note 8.0 communicating properly with a Gear S (with full functionality) between the two, please tell in precise detail how you managed to do this.

Thanks in advance :)

You will most likely have to edit the build prop to get it work. Samsung devices and tablets either have to change the build number or change tablet to a phone.

Have you gone into settings on the gear s then connections then enabled it to be seen by other devices. Also if it is still paired on to your nexus un pair before trying to search for it in the app.

Only way to see the gear s is to set build.prop to gt-i9300 :confused:
[Samsung Gear S] kingakuma:
First when you get the Host Manager FC go and disable your Bluetooth then close out of Samsung Gear App. Go to Apps and Uninstall Host Manager, then install an Older Version of the Host Manager then turn your Bluetooth back on it should automatically want to start an update for the app CANCEL any and all updates after that you should no longer get the Host Manager force close error and it should connect, if it doesn't find your GEAR in your Gear go to connections then make visable so your device can find it and connect.
