GOProvider

HI, I really need help installing goprovider. I downloaded (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-gear/general/pair-galaxy-gear-phone-root-t3045570) these files that he told me to install on my device, it's the closest thing I have found all over the internet to connecting my Nexus 6 to my Samsung Galaxy Gear. I tried installing all the files and all but 2 installed. The first was the s voice provider, I don't care much about that as I hated S voice when I had it connected to my Galaxy 4s mini so I'm not bothered if that isn't working.

The second file, which is the most important, is the goprovider. All I want on my Gear is mostly for calling, texting and notifications. Samsung apps were also useful but I'm not too bothered about that, the file that won't install is (goproviders_2.0.434).

When it got round to installing it, it asked as usual do I want to install and accept the permissions and stuff so I clicked install, said it was installing and then it just says "App not installed." I even tried connecting the gear to my phone using gear manager without the file and when it asked if I wanted to connect it to my gear and I clicked it, it opens the bit where I install goproviders_2.0.434 and the permissions again so I am guessing that goprovider is the key here.

I'm not sure if goproviders isn't installing because I don't have an updated version or if it's because my phone has marshmellow(Which some are saying that it works on.), or even it's something else. I really don't know what to do from here, I realy need my gear to be connected to my nexus 6. Can someone please help!:confused::crying::crying::crying:

Hello friends!

After milions of failed tries to connect it with my Sony , I decided to give my self a cheap Samsung to finaly pair them.

I bought the Grand Prime and I just learned that except Android Version it is matters the Ram.. :( Grand prime haves 1gb.

So I rooted the device and with build prop tweaker I simply change the ro.product.model to : Gt-i9300i (galaxy s3 neo) and other models with ram >1,5 GB but stills don't find the device.. :( Any idea please?

[Samsung Gear S] thefan:
Confirmed Works on all versions from 5.0.1 up to 6.0 , tested models so far HTC One M8 , Motorola RAZR XT910 , LG G3 , LG G Flex 2

Some fine tune to the recipe bellow such as:

1. Some models wont show error for Host Manager as described on 4th step , the result is just connecting status till forever , there is no need to wait 25min to realize it 30 sec is enough time , then you can close all apps , go to app manager force stop and uninstall the host manager , reinstall as described with the provided one .

2. No need to disable data , no need to disable Bluetooth or any specific service except the Host one.

3. Actually you can proceed with the Gear S update after successfully connected , it will install some firmware update and it will continue to work after it.

Confirmed about:

Phone Calls Work, Text Messages Work, Application Notifications Work, Changing Clocks from App works (But you cannot download new from Samsung App market) , Here App Works, Nike + Works, Contacts Work,

Svoice only works with Samsung Devices

Weather Only works and shows on Samsung Devices with Touchwiz (after the little firmware update Weather option will disappear completely from your device anyway)

Music transfer and image Transfer does not work.

S Health app from Samsung and available via Play works just fine too. All sensors and stats are syncing just fine.

Side loading your .wgt works just fine as before so no need to worry about resetting your precious collection.

Just one probably mandatory and most important detail: Please install it on completely naked OS , i have disabled even Google services except Play and Google+ which can't go off easily , all the rest were disabled , no additional apps were installed , no other devices were ever connected before , it must be bare-bone structure when you check in Services ... then it works as described on all devices i own.

Thanks to kingakuma for the great tutorial

Have fun

In case you need some files or ... whatever .wgt file , you can ping me :) njoy

I can't thank you guys enough here. I was about to give up. The only issue i was having from kinga's instructions was that my SAproviders kept crashing on boot and then it was not allowing the connection to properly work. Upgrading to this newer SAprovider did the trick! Now it all works exactly as it should :victory: aside from reconnecting which i don't know about yet. But to see a text notification and be able to reply just made me and my lg g3 very very happy. Thank you xcr for posting it and ycats this method and his file from his gear2 setup worked perfectly on my gear s.
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
Glad to hear............btw, is your LG G3 running Marshmallow (Android 6.0)?
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
Well, I went through the whole tutorial again, installing the newer saproviders as mentioned, still not working with my Nexus 6P. I can still bluetooth-connect to my Gear S, but Gear Manager app still spins when connecting (although it is connected)..............still same as before.
[Samsung Gear S] idenlover:
Sorry to hear it didn't work for you... I did not update my G3, I'm still on lollipop. So maybe that's the difference? I'm rooted as well, but don't think that had anything to do with it. I did have to uninstall and reinstall all the apps, SAprovider would crash when booting, then swapped that for the newer version, rebooted and then it stopped crashing on me and it all finally worked.

The only annoying issue left for me is that it won't reconnect on its own when it gets disconnected, but it just takes a manual connection from gear manager. Overall I'm thoroughly impressed that some smarter folks than me figured it out!
[Samsung Gear S] Piesang:
Anyone got the Gear S working with a LG G4 running Marshmallow?
[Samsung Gear S] Civil-John:
Nope, I've followed all the instructions and I'm getting a goproviders error when I boot.

I'd love to get this working, otherwise I'll have to sell the Gear S and go to something not as cool!

i'm going to pair a gear s with a tab lte 8.4 sm-t705

here's my answer:

after comin' back to the original settings of build.prop file...anything will works good both on gear s and tab or i'll lose some features on one of the two?

This is just because i'm not so happy to keep a modified build.prop file into my tab/phone

VZW HTC M8 - Android v5.01 - Rooted Stock Recovery

Does remote connection work with non-samsung devices? I can connect fine via BT, but as soon as I disconnect, I can no longer receive notifications. I see the instructions say to install GearManagerStub.apk but I'm assuming that means just placing it in /system/app.

Nevermind, I went back to read more and the updated version of saproviders.apk fixed the issue. Coming from a Moto360, I have to say that all smartwatches should be modeled this way. If you can score one of these like I did for $30 from ATT upgrade deal, then it's too good to pass up!

Best of luck to everyone else trying to get it working; I can confirm it works well after some trouble.

So according to the post by thefan http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65579721&postcount=617 this appears to work with the HTC M8 on Marshmallow (6.0). I want to confirm since my phone is now prompting me to upgrade but I don't want to if it's going to mess this up. Leave it to VZW to always come in last with it's Android OS upgrades.
[Samsung Gear S] jasonroedl:
OK I need some help. I bought a Gear S and I synced it up to my HTC M8 by the instructions in the forum. Everything was working great until the Gear S had a update, ever since the only thing i can get synced is calls. Gear manager always has a Gear Plugin Failure and a go providers failure. I have uninstalled everything and went thru the sequence again several times but cant get it back running again. Has anyone had this issue?
[Samsung Gear S] stringham7:
Similar issues on HTC One M8 - connects but then goproviders failure. Phone still connects but messages don't work. Tried the newer version of SAP provider and can now send messages (but they send the same one 3 or 4 times) but no messages received on the Gear S nor any notifications. S Health working on Gear S but not syncing to M8 either ... any and all help appreciated (HTC One M8 on Marshmallow)

Best course of action (if your watch supports it) is to either flash lollipop or the android wear port.

Don't think verizon version works. I have unlocked r750. I tried staying with tizen following suggestions from this thread on my lollipop oneplus one, i got it to pair easily but notifications woukd make the ui go into a crash loop so i gave up.

Hi there.

Got a sm-t750 working full with a Gear S.

Anyone updated? :D
[Samsung Gear S] teisco:
Just got a Gear S but it will not connect to my samsung tablet. Is there any smart phone that will connect to a Samsung tablet or do all of them require a phone?
[Samsung Gear S] ZetaKappa:
You can use the tweak of editing your build.prop in order to get it working on your tab.
[Samsung Gear S] teisco:
I wish I could but after reading instructions and watching video of how to do it I realize I am not qualified to try it. If there is anyone here that lives in Iowa that could do this for me I would gladly compensate.

[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
I finally solved my problem, I decided to part ways with my Nexus 6P (best Android phone out there, IMO). I got the Galaxy Note-5 a couple of days ago and I can now go back to using the Gear S..............boy, I've missed her!
[Samsung Gear S] The_Wolf91:
Is there any solution for pairing it with a Nexus 5 on Android 6.0.1 (rooted too)?
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
You can get the Gear S to bluetooth-connect to another Android device but the watch will not work like it should (or does when connected to a Samsung). When you have the watch on the screen where it tells you to install the Gear Manager app, continuously tap the "watch" icon at the top until "bluetooth" word appears......might take about 25 times. What this basically does, your watch is now a bluetooth headset. So, when you get a phone call, both your watch and phone will ring/vibrate.........however, answering the call will only occur with the watch.
[Samsung Gear S] guybrush0000:
I also have this problem with my Oneplus One. I haven't tried any other methods: I got my Gear S only 10 minutes ago. I read this before, posted by ZetaKappa: "You can use the tweak of editing your build.prop in order to get it working on your tab.", so I haven't got any idea from where to start to do this. Can someone explain if I need some apps or only my file manager or PC? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Gear S] ycats:
I believe you need to be rooted to edit that file...........use Root Explorer to access that file.
[Samsung Gear S] guybrush0000:
I am rooted, so I'll buy Root Explorer from the Play Store and give it a try later today. Thanks!

Basic Guide

Hi, would you be able to send me an 'Idiot's Guide' to the steps below for installing Gear Manager and getting a Gear S to work with an android phone? I just basically need to know which components are installed on which device and what "Side loading your .wgt" means! I've currently got an HTC One M7 with Lollipop, and am hoping I can get the Gear S to work with it.

Thanks in advance.

Can we have a disclaimer on the first post of this thread that says something to the effect: If you want your Gear S watch to work the way it's intended, you must pair it with a Samsung phone.

So many unnecessary posts in this thread of people complaining that the Gear S won't work with their LG, Nexus, HTC, or whatever devices.

I had a Nexus 6P for six months (best Android phone I've ever owned), and I tried the instructions in the thread about every two weeks and could not get it to work. I was able to get the watch to bluetooth-connect with the phone, but didn't get weather updates, etc.........it was basically a watch only, all calls made to the phone would go to the watch because it would act as a bluetooth headset. And not sure if this is the case with Marshmallow phone versions only or not.........but that was my experience. I ended up selling the Nexus and got a Note-5 because I missed my watch.

Hello everyone!

I have a lg g3 rooted and update to marshmallow cyanogen 13 nightly.

I have tried kingakuma and promars 's method with no luck. When i opened the gear manager after successful install, both saprovider and goprovider stopped working, i tapped ok and moved forward with no success, got a connecting forever loop.

Second i update saproviders provided in this thread (reinstalled all the apps again)

Saproviders was then fixed but i am still getting goprividers stopped error.

I have some questions if someone can help me fix this issue, does goproviders crashing makes a connecting loop? If so, how can i fix it?

Does any one have a latest update of goproviders?

Hello everyone. I am brand new to this forum. As in this is my first post. I have read a lot and received a lot of help from the threads. But now it's time to make a post in hopes of getting a resolution.

I just recently picked up a Samsung Gear S. I did a bunch of research in regards to "best smartwatches" and stuff like that. The Gear S is number one on a bunch of the sites I came across. Plus the number one for me, I just plan and simply love the way it looks. But in my research I forgot one important thing. Is it compatible with my Nexus 6. Didn't even think that would be an issue. So disappointed.

So that is the reason for my post. I have read briefly through this thread and a few others. I have seen that a couple of you have been able to get the Gear S and a non-Samsung to pair. But a couple of posts lead all over the place and some are old. Could one of you please point me in the right direction to get my Nexus 6 and the Samsung Gear S paired.

Thank you very much in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S3 4.1.2 with Gear S

Hello friends,

I just purchased a Samsung Gear S hoping to connect it to my Galaxy S3 phone instead of putting a sim in the watch. I found an apk for gear manager online (com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager-v1.2.apk). After installing I received a Bluetooth connection passkey on both the phone and Gear but unfortunately did not sync properly. In gear manager I can now see connect manually with the Gear S (along with MAC address) up top but will not connect. I tried a manual scan with no luck either.

I downloaded an tried to install a few gear manager apk's from the link provided in this first thread but keep getting an error "there is a problem parsing the package Samsung galaxy"
