Please help me. I just got a new fear fit for my self and want it to work.

[Samsung Gear Fit] Jimbroski:
Hey for some reason my Nexus 5 isn't working with the new and updated app.

Anyone have any ideas why it isn't working? My phone and Gear Fit says they're both connected but when i try to press play on the media player on the watch is where it doesn't work.. No phone notifications go to my Gear Fit also, weird.

Thanks!

App wont install on Android 5.01 Lollipop CM12 (S4 i9505) Not 1.49 nor newer patched version
[Samsung Gear Fit] jlcemrm:
Works well on my Nexus 6 but don't start in Note 3.

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear Fit] ShadowKilla:
Tried both that were posted in this thread but it still crashes immediately as I open the app on my Nexus 5 Lollipop.
[Samsung Gear Fit] scientist456:
Tried it with build.prop fix that worked for Samsung phones with Kitkat, not working either on any Gear fit manager version... Seems this lollipop aint as sweet as it may look :p
[Samsung Gear Fit] auggie84:
APP crash

this version crashes on my Nexus 6 lollipop 5.0.1 . any suggestion? the 1.49 version partially works (media control's doesn't' work)
[Samsung Gear Fit] frenziedfemale:
The media player won't work. For notifications check that you have the gear fit manager enabled in your phones settings under sound and notifications/notification access

Can someone patch Gear Manager, but for the Gear 2 (neo) ? Still waiting for working lollipop version :(

[Samsung Gear Fit] SWolfram:
I installed version 1.49 as well. Most functionalities work except for app connect.

For example, when I try to start endomondo on my gear fit, I receive the message: You should install gear fit service application first.

I get this with any app through app connect. Anyone else having these issues?
[Samsung Gear Fit] pcp12:
The same issue

When I use app connect says you should install gear fit service application first.
[Samsung Gear Fit] N!KE26:
Could anyone make the newest version work?
[Samsung Gear Fit] banegasn:
The app works for me, it starts but it have a few problems:

- The apps that use gear fit dont see the manager app

- Crash and Disconnect when i use the Media Control

- The Notifications don't arrive, only the calls, but reply with message don't work

Sorry for my English

[Samsung Gear Fit] banegasn:
i really don't understand, what i have to do?
[Samsung Gear Fit] frenziedfemale:
On your phone....go to settings. Then sound and notifications... Then notification access...and ensure that gear fit manager is selected. Then you will get notifications other than calls
[Samsung Gear Fit] yupiter00:
Which version of gear fit manager tested?
[Samsung Gear Fit] jareddlc:

UPDATE: i forgot to change my build prop since im running samsung device. and installed 1.49. Allowed me to open. now to try to test notifications

Notifications works for me, on modified 1.49. Media controls fail for me, crash and disconnect.

Working perfect with Oneplus One

I must say that this version is working purrrrfectly with my One Plus One.

Cyanogenmod 11.0 -XNPHH44A (Android 4.4.4)

1. Installed the latest firmware for my Galaxy Gear fit using Kies3. Software version: R350XXU0BNG2

2. Installed this Patched Manager.

3. Started Gear fit Manager.

4. Scaned for device.

5. Paired.

6. Works perfect. Nothing this far that does not work.
[Samsung Gear Fit] yupiter00:
It s planned for work with lolipop not wtih kitkat
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Edit build.prop and change 'ro.product.manufacturer=samsung' to 'ro.product.manufacturer=CyanogenMod' for example (or any nonsense) and reboot. It will work then.

But it won't run on LP ROMs, only KK. On LP, you have to use version 1.49
[Samsung Gear Fit] abduleo77:
Where do I get version 1.49??
[Samsung Gear Fit] scientist456:
Openingpost. Just did it, works like a charm (finally) Thanks!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Attached to this reply. Do not forget to change 'ro.product.manufacturer' to something else in /system/build.prop (my previous post, and it's also in the OP).

It is outdated version, but notifications works correctly. Other plugins won't work, as they require new version (waiting for samsung to release something compatible with LP).
[Samsung Gear Fit] gmenelau:
i have tried it no luck :( i change the /system/build.prop to any company but nothing ! i did a restart still :( . What is you phone ? is it a custom rom ?

Is gear fit manager crashing or dont you get any notifications?

If the 2nd, dont forget to grant gear fit manager access to read messages/notifications in the settings!

Settings, sound and notifications, there is a setting for apps that can read notifications. Worked for me
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
What? My Gear Fit Manager works fine...at least version 1.49, version 1.98 or newer won't run after install.
[Samsung Gear Fit] N!KE26:
Does your notifications and media controls work?
[Samsung Gear Fit] gmenelau:
I tried again i flashed with lollipop i change the manufacturer to something and it worked only for one reboot ! after the reboot nothing still crashing :( we need to wait for the update i think from Samsung !
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Notifications works. But media control don't, as well as any fancy plugins like callendar, phone control, etc... all of them requires higher version of Gear Fit Manager, and all of them write following on the screen when tapped on: 'Install Gear Fit Manager first...'

You can use it as a watch, you can read notifications from up to 20 apps (you can select which ones), you can set wallpapaper/background of your watch from built-in gallery. App won't let you use any of your own pictures, as it complains about 'missing app to crop the image'

Can you provide a similar patch for Samsung Gear Manager for the Gear and Gear 2 watches? This will be really helpful. Your GearFit manager works in Lollipop just fine.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mohitrocks:
My app crashes on my phone too. I'm on a nexus 5 5.0.1 and either app I try crashes upon opening it. Is there anyone with a fix for this? Thanks OP for the post and work.
[Samsung Gear Fit] windelwilli:
Cool... I'm not alone.... I would Have be important questions....

Must my phone be root ??? and

must i Have the build.prob file been modified ???.

Must i Have the gearmanager.stub in the system/data folder ???

Please explain for us ;) need really help!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
well, ummmm, ok

Yes, Yes (Unless you are running other then oficially supported phone and stock ROM)

No

Gear Fit Manager checks for three components - Samsung Account, S-Health, and supported phone's strings in /system/build.prop file.

Once all three components are installed, then the app runs fine.

1) Uninstall any Gear Fit Manager related apps you may have installed.

2) Download and and install Samsung Account

3) register or logon to your samsung account (Settings->Accounts)

4) Download and install Fitness With Gear

5) Download and Gear Fit Manager

6) If you are trying to use Gear Fit on Samsung phone, then edit /system/build.prop

change:

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

to:

ro.product.manufacturer=Lollipop

7)Reboot

Works:

Notifications

Vibration

Call Reject

Setting type of clock and wallpaper (from built-in library)

Don't Work:

Account sync, rendering Fitness with Gear unusable

Using own wallpapers

Plugins (eg: app launcher, contacts, etc...)

Everything else

Confirmed to be working on AOSP 5.0.2 (CM12 for example or ROMs using CM12 as a base).
[Samsung Gear Fit] mohitrocks:
Okay so I've done the following:

Installed Samsung Account,

Logged into my pre-existing samsung account (Note, it says Not synced),

Downloaded and opened fitness with gear

Changed build.prop , the ro.product.manufacturer= lollipop (Even though I presume I didn't need to because it's an LG phone that read LGE),

Downloaded and installed gear fi manager

Rebooted phone

It still force closes. Is there anything else I can do?

Again I'm on a stock, rooted, Nexus 5 on 5.0.1

Additionally, it may be worth it to post the instructions in the OP.

Thank you again for all your efforts, glad it works for so many people!

EDIT: It was the ROM! I tried the steps above on a new ROM (http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-screw-d-android-v1-0-rc1-20141213-t2972366) . I did have some issues with the keyboard (put multiple gaap packages on your device for lollipop just in case) and now the app opens! It may be worth posting in the OP that a new ROM may be required!
[Samsung Gear Fit] pcp12:
And the multimedia control?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
For that to work, you will need deodexed stock media player installed. Haven't tried on my own, tho....

[Samsung Gear Fit] zephyrprime:
Did all that but it doesn't work for me on nexus 5 lollipop 5.01 stock. Using Samsung Manager 1.98.xxx
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
As said earlier, You have to use version 1.49, newer won't work. You also have to use 5.0.2 ROM. Why are you complaining when you're not meeting given criteria?

You yourself are saying that you did everything according to howto, but then you're saying that you're on version 1.98? Sorry bro, but I found this pretty stupid.
[Samsung Gear Fit] zephyrprime:
You never mentioned in your prior post that the version you linked was 1.49. In any event, I tried the version you linked and it doesn't work either. It is a little different in that it gets to the starting screen before it stops whereas the newer versions don't even get that far.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Can you try with CM12 or AOSP 5.0.2?
[Samsung Gear Fit] windelwilli:
I understand virnik0´s post like:

You have to use version 1.49, newer won't work. You also have to use 5.0.2 ROM. / Confirmed to be working on AOSP 5.0.2 (CM12 for example or ROMs using CM12 as a base). / It was the ROM!

1-1) that you have to put the new ROM on the Cellphone

1-2) Uninstall any Gear Fit Manager related apps you may have installed.

2) Download and and install Samsung Account

3) register or logon to your samsung account (Settings->Accounts)

4) Download and install Fitness With Gear

5) Download and Gear Fit Manager

6) If you are trying to use Gear Fit on Samsung phone, then edit /system/build.prop

change:

to:

ro.product.manufacturer=Lollipop

7)Reboot

Tried installing Samsung Account, Gear Fit Hub APK, and resetting Gear Fit. Nothing works except reverting to 1.49 patched version. Do I need to modify build.prop to get the newest APK to work?

[Samsung Gear Fit] :
Hi guys,

I have a problem with my Gear Fit. It seems to be working fine with the newest patched version of Gear Fit Manager, but every time I exit my car, in which my phone is connected to handsfree via Bluetooth, the connection to my Gear Fit is lost.

Is there a way for this to not happen? If it must happen, for some reason, can I use Tasker to make the phone auto-reconnect to the Gear Fit?

My phone is a Moto X 2014.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Gear Fit] N!KE26:
Yes, you can use tasker. There was a thread here in gear fit section about using tasker to auto connect. Try to find it.
[Samsung Gear Fit] ClaKK:
I was able to update it to 1.98 using your link! Thanks!

I'm on Paranoid Android on Note 2. Just needed to edit build.prop file, no S Health and no Samsung Account needed.

Is there any way to update Fit firmware to latest version?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
It is. download firmware standalone archive and Odin. Switch Fit to Download Mode, select firmware tar archive as PDA and press Flash/Start Button
[Samsung Gear Fit] windelwilli:
There is a way to update the gear fit to the newest firmware...

Search for update gear fit with Kies .....
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Kies is not as good option, as it respects your location, and if Samsung didn't released firmware specificaly for your region, you will not be offered update by Kies. Visit SamFirmware.com, download latest firmware based on your continent (not country, it's not necessary), and flash it with Odin
[Samsung Gear Fit] synesthete:
Is there an Odin equivalent for Unix/OSX?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Sure it is :) Heimdall

If you're using Apple, then you'll have to compile it yourself (check their site, maybe they are already providing dmg package as well). I'm not sure if Heimdall can handle Fit, as it was intended for Galaxy cell phones line.
[Samsung Gear Fit] synesthete:

Please help get Fit working again

I bought my wife a Samsung Fit for Christmas to use with her S5 and Endomondo - it worked perfectly until today and Lollipop came and now it is no longer working.

We have put phone and Fit into Kies and everything is up to date.

I see some of you are using an APK but neither of us know what to do with it - the phone is not rooted.

We would be really grateful for any advice please.

Many thanks
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
Because you don't know what apk is, and you do not have your wife's phone rooted, best answer I can give you is to wait for Samsung to release a fix. I assume that you do not want to spend hours reading on how to root your phone, what does it mean in regard of warranty and advantages, what shell and adb is, how it should be used, etc...
[Samsung Gear Fit] poaudet:
Hi Platonick!

follow these steps but with the lastest APK in this thread (EDIT: i've re-read your post, and if your Gear Fit Manager work, skip this)

Hop this help!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Platonick:
First thank you for the replies - how quick and helpful - I am a little confused as the firsts suggests that there is nothing that can be done apart from wait and the second essentially points me to the way we originally paired the phone and fit. Maybe I need to explain more clearly.

I bought this for my wife to run with, it worked perfectly with Endomondo - great! But when Android 5.0 came along Endomondo no longer works. Phone and Fit are new so we don;t want to root and have no idea how. This is very disappointing as the primary reason for purchase was so that she could use it to run with which she now no longer can do. So a bit upset by this actually and if we do have to wait is it likely to be days or weeks? I wonder whether contacting Samsung directly will shed any light?

Again any comments/advice greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Virnik0:
To make my reply short - My advice to wait for Samsung to fix it was meant in good manner. It will save you a lot.of trouble and effort. Truth is, that Samsung didn't made his LP ROM fully compatible with the Fit, and the way we are running it strips it of a lot of features. It works only as basic watch with notofications, and while only few plugins work correctly, it can in no way be used for running with S-Health or Endomondo.

You can flash your wife's phone with Samsung Stock KitKat ROM via Odin, and it will work until you update to Lollipop again. But Odin is serious servicing tool and using it badly can have very bad consequences (like bricked phone).

Until you learn how your phone works and/or how to restore it in case you accidentaly brick it, you should not think abou any flashing, rooting, etc...
[Samsung Gear Fit] fujiapplelover:
I've been trying to get my Gear Fit to work with my rooted Nexus 5 with stock Android 5.0.1 but I'm getting force closing with this linked version of Gear Fit Manager. Previously, I had most things working with Android 4.4.4 using Gear Fit Manager 1.49. I've read through most of this thread, but I still have a few questions that I hope could be answered for those who got everything working on their Nexus 5.

1. I realize I need to modify build.prop. I've seen different posts that instruct to modify different parameters. Are these the correct parameters just to prevent Gear Fit Manager from force closing?

ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung

ro.product.model=GT-I9500

ro.product.brand=Samsung

or should I use these ones?

ro.product.model=GT-I9505

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SM-900S

ro.product.device=SM-900S

2. Do I need to flash NG2 firmware in order to use Gear Fit Manager 1.98? I currently have NE5.

3. The version of Gear Fit Manager on the above link is for 1.97. But windelwilli says it's 1.98. Is this a typo? Or is the link wrong? And was this patched, or the original apk?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Gear Fit] N!KE26:
Change manufactory to "Nexus" and it should work.

The latest version is 1.98. The 1.97 text is a bug.
