Some people claim the app does not crash.....however it does "crash" as I mentioned above but only limits those apps trying to get a connection (ie weather). The bluetooth connection ALWAYS remains and yes, reconnect is perfect and without issues. However, if you go and open the app occasionally (like a couple times per day) you will likely see it trying to email support (or something) with a crash log. All I do is restart the app a couple of times and it starts without crashing. If someone can prove me wrong and they have 24 hours of the weather updating (ie using the Modern Utility watch face) without crashing then maybe there are other circumstances (other apps installed) that are causing my crashes.
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
I install almost everything that appears on the leaked Gear Manager Samsung app store. I check it and then delete it. My leaked Gear Manager app on my iPhone 5 has not crashed even once.

Some apps from the store stop at 100% (that is a known issue now). The weather watch app works with the location enabled on the phone and I did not experience any crashes there neither.

Except limited options and features, the leaked app seems pretty stable for me (even on the older phone as iPhone 5).

I guess Samsung has been reading this thread and leaked the beta to stop our moaning/get some new clients/foolproof the app before official release.

Together with GWD, Gear s2 + iPhone combo makes more and more sense. I can make my own watch faces, use the watch to control music/check the phone. With more and more apps coming every week it will turn around and prove to be a great smartwatch. Once they release the official Gear Manager iOS app, many iPhone users will buy it!

I really hope that the next iterations of this watch won't change the form factor, rotating bezel is the way to go!

Beef it up with more power, battery and memory with each new generation and it will blow away the competition.
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
I can't believe I am the only one. I get minimum 5 "crashes" per day. See attached screen shot. I get this when I click on the gear manager app and when I hit cancel the app closes. Then I click on the app again and it says connecting to gear (even though its already connected by Bluetooth) sometimes it will crash again immediately and some times it will be fine. What version of Gear Manager does everyone have? I assume there was just 1 version leaked? Mine is 1.416032201
[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
I have the same one...No crashes whatsoever :S I am on i6 iOS 9.3.1
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Strange. I am on 9.3.2 but no different than 9.3.1 for me....iphone 6S.
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
You are not alone. I have the same issue, on an iphone 6s with 9.3.2 and I had it before with 9.3.1. For me, it started to crash when I updated the watch to cpc4. With bokk it ran smoothly without any crash.
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Ya that is the exact same setup as me....iphone 6s on 9.3.2 with CPC4 on the Gear S2 Classic. I never tried with BOKK.
[Samsung Gear S2] FN2187:
I have had almost no crashes with R732XXU2CPC5 on my S2 classic.
[Samsung Gear S2] rjohnstone:
I get these all the time.

Annoying, but it's a beta, so I expected it.
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Sorry. I do have CPC5. I wonder if you guys are just not seeing the crashes as I mentioned notifications don't stop.

hey,

I have an iphone 6s plus and gear 2 classic

for some reason i cant download any of the apps to my gear.

it download and the tells me its installing and then get stuck on 100%.

any idea?

:confused:
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
That happens to everybody in iOS with most of the non-samsung apps and with some watchfaces. I guess we have to wait until an official release of the gear manager.

My Iphone 6 is telling me that this is not an approved App developer and wont start Gear S2 Lite, is there anyway around this

Never mind found it.
[Samsung Gear S2] lukassky:
Hi guys.

I've just been testing one ".ipa" file , Samsung Gear app, in a iPhone 6S and it's working so far. Have you been testing it??

You'll need ifunbox to make it work on your iOS 9.x version.

It's a Samsung official app.

Cheers!
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
You don't need ifunbox. I installed it using itunes on an iPhone 6s with 9.3 and didn't have any problem.

Linked Gear S2 with Iphone (IOS 9.3)

I have just linked my Gear S2 with my Iphone. If you want to know how i have made it, please leave me a message and i will upload a video. Thanks :D
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
ummmm, not sure if this is a joke or not? Gear S2 and iphone working with leaked Gear Manager Lite has been going on for weeks (months) now. what is different about your "solution"?
[Samsung Gear S2] javiferre3:
Linked Gear S2 with Iphone (IOS 9.3)

Download the last version of Itunes and IfunBox, select "add an app" in IfunBox and select the downloaded file. You wil have the Gear App in your Iphone and be able to link your Gear S2.

Notifications working in Gear S2 with iphone.

*I can´t upload the download link... i have to write 10 posts
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Again, you don't need ifunbox for anything. Just doble click the .ipa file and iTunes will install it once you syncronice your iPhone. Anyway, do you realice we have been using and testing this app since it was leaked, on 14th april? There are several posts in this thread with tutorials of how to install it, and what works and what doesn't. There are even several download links for the .ipa, so please, avoid posting these kind of totally useless posts!
[Samsung Gear S2] hackerman15:
good , I have a problem. Install the app and perfect the problem is that the device can not find my iphone . I tried to reset the clock and I tried again but still can not find it. Someone who has happened ??

Thank you
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
haha I think it's a joke
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Which iPhone, iOS version and Gear s2 firmware version do you have?
[Samsung Gear S2] hackerman15:
I've updated once , and mark me as the most recent. In ios I have the 9.3.2
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
If you have an iPhone SE you could not use the app by the moment, that's why I asked for the iPhone model, so please answer that.

If you have the same iOS version as everybody around here (iOS 9.x) then we can discard that, but if not, it would be usefull to know which iOS version works and which does not, that's why I've asked your iOS version, so please, answer that.

And last, please, If I ask for the firm version don't reply with the most recent, because it varies a lot. For me most recent is CPC4, for others is BOKK and for others is CPC5, so go to settings->gear info->device info->software version and copy it here.

And if you do all this, I might be able to help you, and if I can't do it, maybe another could because we will have the necessary info.
[Samsung Gear S2] hackerman15:
Ok , when I get home I look at the clock version and tell

Thank you

Samsung just announced the Gear Fit 2 but there is still no update about official iOS support.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Hi guys !!!

Thanks to you I was able to install the unofficial app on my old iphone 5 (to try, I have an iPhone 6) !!! :D

It works perfectly, but I'm trying to install new apps and watchfaces and is not working! It happens to you?

A question: but Gear works with Runtastic ? :confused:

Thaaankss !!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
All details are in post #290 page 29
[Samsung Gear S2] Ashditz:
it does mostly with apps i've install with my sam account on an android phone before setting everything up on my iphone
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Excuse me, Ashditz, but I don't understand...:confused: I created the Samsung account for the first time directly from iPhone and the S2 has never been pairing with any Samsung...
[Samsung Gear S2] FN2187:
Only the free apps made by Samsung can be installed. All the other 3rd party ones will get stuck at 100%. Most watch faces can be installed but some will also get stuck at 100%.

On my Gear S2 Classic, that is the latest update. It was BOKK or something, then CPC4 for a short time, then CPC5 is the latest

Guys,

a question they asked me so many people: the app "Gear Manager" has been checked? It's free from viruses and malware? We can be installed without any problems? :confused::rolleyes:

Thanks !!!!

Sometimes can't reconnect and app crash.

Hello FN2187

My iphone 6s plus with ios 9.3.2, and gear s2 classic is R732XXU2CPC5.

Often unable to reconnect after disconnection, must open gear s2 manager to reconnect. But app has some problems.

Please see the images.

If disconnect, I open the gear s2 manager, it show disconnect, any funtions can not be used. (P1)

(But this momet, open Setting> Bluetooth, it display 'gear s2 connected')

After wait some seconds, all funtions are bright and can be used, but appear this page. (P2)

If press cancel on left conner, the app crash.

Do you have any experience with this? Thank you very much.

According to a tweet from "Samsung Polska" (11 May), it says: "According to our information, the Gear Manager app is already registered, but is waiting for the certification of other companies "..... :confused:

And according to a tweet from "iPhone News" (20 May): "Samsung Gear S2 iOs Support may finally arrive later this month"...
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
I'm on R720XXU2CPC4, since around April 20th. And the gear doesn't find other updates either (not even the CPC5).

And same here with a 6s and 9.3.2, sometimes I have to wait like five or six times of app crashes to get it working, and for me it started when I updated from BOKK to CPC4. I guess we will have to wait until the official release.

Nike Running disappears

Hi

after doing all steps listed on post #290 and successfully linking to my iPhone6, i have noticed that the Nike Running icon on the S2 disappears.

i have thereafter erased the S2 back to factory settings, synced to an Android and... Nike Running is back. once again, reset and sync to iPhone and no more Nike Running.

is any of you facing the same issue? my device is an SM-R720 and firmware CPC4.

thanks!
[Samsung Gear S2] VPO:
Hello,

Is there anyone working at Samsung who can provide an update on the planned Gear Manager for iOS? The customer support in Switzerland responded that they did not have any info...

Personally I purchased the Gear S2 in anticipation of the iOS compatibility which was announced for March 2016.... if this is not going to happen, I will change smartwatch! It would be a pity because I am really satisfied with the hardware!

It is also disappointing to see that the upcoming Gear Fit2 has additional features such as "automatic activity detection" or "floor counting" that are not available on the Gear S2...

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
The iOS compatibility will eventually arrive, we have the beta, so it's just a matter of time. But in fact I'm actually quite happy with the beta, even with the crashes. Of course I'd love to install more apps and to reply the notifications (and I'm not sure this is going to be in the official release) but I'm not in a hurry to get the official one.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
VPO, why you do not use the beta version? Waiting for the release of the official version, this app will satisfy you...:D

However, I do not know if you read my post, but it looks like the official release is near, I think by the end of June. :victory:
[Samsung Gear S2] VPO:
I did miss your last post ;)

I have been using the beta version since it was leaked and it does work pretty well even though the functionalities are limited... Unfortunately on the beta only free apps or watch faces are available, and some do not install...

VPO
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Eh, I know this problem, for me too (and for all). But better than nothing. :p

I hope for an integration with Runtastic, for example, or displaying of music covers when playing tracks....:D
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
I was thinking ... "Gear Manager" could be released after WWDC '16, next Monday ? :confused:;)
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
SAMSUNG! Give us the app ! ! !

Or at least, read this thread and leak us an update! ;)

We are done beta testing !

We covered all the bugs.

Time to kick ass and chew bubble gum and spit out the real deal!
[Samsung Gear S2] FN2187:
I could not agree more.

Samsung,

You are leaving money on the table by not releasing this app sooner. Many of my friends would get the S2 if it was officially supported on iOS. Android Wear is starting to copy your innovation with the round UI and it's fully compatible with iOS so no more excuses. You have been promising this app since September 2015. Stop loosing time, fix the 100% install bug and the crashes and this app is golden. Don't wait until September when you will release the Gear S3 and Tyzen 3.0. You can sell more S2 now.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
...then people ask me why I prefer Apple to Samsung...:)
[Samsung Gear S2] bukmba:
I really really hope we will get the Gear Manager for iOS soon.

I have the Gear S2 Classic and Sport. I love them. I do have the AppleWatch as well but frankly, compared to the Samsung the AW look and feel like a piece of sh....! Also the interface is so much better. Only point which goes to the AW is that I can make calls on it. But hey, I used that maybe twice over a period of 6 months so not really care.

If Apple however would piss me off and not allowing the Gear Manager in their store ...... I still have an Samsung S7 sitting on my desk which could potentially replace my iPhone 6s. So watch out Apple ....
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
...but the "Gear Manager" app where it comes from ? Who made it out for the first time ? You can not ask these mysterious individuals if there is a "2.0" version ? :D:D:D

Tizen vs. Android Wear

Hello everyone!

I'm looking forward to buy smartwatch to use with my iPhone 6.

I'm choosing between Samsung Gear S2 and Huawei Watch.

Does anyone have an experience of using both of this watches? Which is better?

I'm just trying to collect different subjective opinions and thoughts about it.

Thanks for your answers!
[Samsung Gear S2] bukmba:
Well the Huawei is Android wear and that is officially supported on the iPhone.

So with any Android Wear Watch you can do much more than with the Gear S2 which can only display notifications when used with an iPhone.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
My fear is that Samsung will release the app around September-October, with the release of

iOS 10

. On Monday, Apple will show SIRI API, maybe Samsung is waiting to release the app also seamlessly integrated with Siri...
[Samsung Gear S2] skarusto:
Thanks for your opinion. But according to different information in the Internet, Android Wear is far away from "full" support iOS and it's functionality is close to Gear S2 (i mean notifications, etc.) That's why I'm looking for real users of both devices to find real reviews.
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
I have both but using Gear S2 Classic now over the Huawei Watch. The Android Wear experience on iPhone is slightly better than this beta leak of Gear Manager but only in the stability (no app crashes). Android Wear for iOS has NO watch faces (ok some but all terrible), no apps. At least with SGS2 you can download a ton of watch faces (yes some stick at 100% and don't work), download a variety of cool apps, etc. So even in beta, the SGS2 experience is actually more "integrated" than Android Wear. What I like about the GearS2 is the actual Tizen OS on the watch...the health apps are top notch, weather app is accurate, emails are easy to read and scroll through.

Both do NOT have access to Siri (likely never will) and/or response ability for text and email. It's just notifications on the watch that can be read and deleted (notification only). Android Wear has Google Now (works fairly well) and SGS2 has S Voice. Both have their limitations in what can be asked/responded to.

Like others, I don't see anyone (including myself) using a watch for dictation, phone all that often. Yes a quick reply to text by voice would be cool, but that's about it.

So, as it stands now, the beta Gear Manager is almost as capable as Wear for iOS. In fact it has more features (actual apps and watch faces) and a lot more potential. It really comes down to watch preference. I LOVE my Huawei watch.....but Android Wear swipe cards and finding notifications, just did not do it for me. SGS2 Tizen is miles ahead and the layout and scrolling through what you want to see is the biggest advantage.

I would recommend Gear over Wear simply based on my experience with both in the last 6 months on my iPhone
[Samsung Gear S2] skarusto:
Thanks a lot for such a detailed review, it is very helpful for me
[Samsung Gear S2] slpro:
Couldn't agree more with you. I've ditched my Apple Watch entirely for the S2!
[Samsung Gear S2] xfitness247:
Wonderful thread on S2!

I had the mi Band 1S for a few weeks now and it is pretty good. I gave it to my son. I'm planning to get the S2. I have iPhone 6+ (9.0.2) and loaded the unofficial Gear Manager on the phone. It launches fine. Now, my questions are as follows:

Since there is no free fitness health app that can track any type of workout, I wanted to see if this approach works. Once I finish the setup process thru the unoffiicial Gear Manager for iOS, get the free Pear Sports app both on the iPhone and also on the S2 watch. I think I should also be able to pair a Polar H7 HRM to the Pear Sports app on the watch. In the app, start a free form workout (which can track distance, calories, HR, time etc) and once done, see it in the Pear portal online. Will this work on iOS? I don't know if Pear sports allows us to export the data to Training Peaks or any other app online.

Please advise.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
I'm really interested in this . You can try this yourself ? Another question: but "S-Healt" app is indipendent from phone ? Because I was thinking of using S-Healt on Gear S2 , and Runtastic on the iPhone , independently, in fact.
[Samsung Gear S2] xfitness247:
I don't own a Gear S2 yet. Can somebody quickly test this option please?
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
A quick search on the Gear App store from iPhone showed no results for Pear Sports app. This is the first problem. LOL.
[Samsung Gear S2] xfitness247:
I think it is there. I downloaded it this morning.

Go to the app store and search for pear and the first one available for download is "PEAR Personal coach".

Thanks.

If it doesn't work with iPhone, can somebody test this with a Samsung Galaxy S7 /Edge?

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Before we go to all this testing if its not in the gear manager on ios then it will never work. The app store in gear manager is currently a weird version of the real Gear app store. There at only free apps and then even some (IE Pear) are missing.
[Samsung Gear S2] xfitness247:
I got your point.

The problem is I can't get past the Gear S2 search screen on the unofficial Gear Manager app on iOS as I don't own the S2 myself. Can somebody please confirm whether the Pear Sports app is indeed visible inside the Gear Manager app?

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] todely:
No pear app on beta gear manager on ios
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Guys, but it's possible to connect Gear

to hidden wifi ?
[Samsung Gear S2] xfitness247:
I have been reading this thread and it looks like any 3rd party app is hanging when it reaches 100% during install. Any reason why?

So, for now, we're stuck with using S-Health which I believe doesn't support a free form exercise mode? All I'm looking is a freeform exercise mode that captures HR continuously (every 1 sec) along with calories burnt, time and steps. The "PEAR" sports app is an ideal one as it supports freeform mode and is completely free but due to the issue with 3rd party apps, I think I have to wait.

Please let me know if there is any other alternative on the S2 or any workaround to fix the install issue.

Thanks.

any idea how i can change the workout time in the widget? it's set to 30 mins, and i cant get my head around on how to change the time.
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
In the widget appears the last kind of workout with the last time you set in S Health. If you set a bike workout of 20 mins, that's what will appear on the widget the next time you look at it.
[Samsung Gear S2] esseti:
so, i've to install s-health on the iphone? or what?

Any news after the apple event?
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
You just have to open s health on the gear s2 and select what kind of workout you want to do, and for how long and the widget is just a quick link to your last workout. I don't think there is a s health app for the iPhone yet.

Guys where can we download the latest gear software for iphone?
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
What is "the latest software" ? :confused:
[Samsung Gear S2] mvoloch:
took me a while to figure it out too... you just have to press the right green arrow that appears just before you start your workout, then it will allow you to, once again, choose the kind of activity and time.

i got a bit frustrated to see that there's no option for weight lifting, for example.

I usually run 6 to 10km then do a 40-minute weight lifting / body building session and have to cheat the S2 by using another activity.
[Samsung Gear S2] esseti:
Oh, thanks. this gear as one of the most counterintuitive UI/UX ever.

Anyway, it's not for the widge but fromt he s-health app buried into the clock. And apparently, you can setup your target with only 10mins diff, such as 10-20-30-40-50 ... that's for running is circa 2km :rolleyes:

Ok, anyone getting random disconnects (when app crashes) recently more often? Last few days, I have felt watch buzz (like 20 times per day) and look at watch only to find it's disconnecting from iphone. Up until then, I would get Gear Manager app crashes but bluetooth connection would remain and continue to get notifications. I have reset both phone and watch with no change.
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Yep, although not as many times as you (just around five per day). It started just a couple of days after I noticed a decrease in the app crashes.
