Hi all,

I finished updating to iOS 10 b1. I also updated the Gear Firmware to the latest but this did not get me too far. I had to downgrade using the forum guide and now it won't connect to the Gear Manager application on the phone.

However, it connects via bluetooth (without the app) and I am not quite sure if this worked on lower iOS versions. Could you confirm?

So far all of the notifications are received and everything is okay except the fact that I cannot upload new faces...

[MENTION=7512709]Agent_Mulder[/MENTION]

I don't think there will be a "pro" version. I think the "Lite" states beta ;)

[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
Funny enough I've waited for your response and just about to press update button and you posted... I will be upgrading and let you guys know how it went for me... In case I manage to get it working for notifications without gear app, I'll still be satisfied hoping it will be out on the App Store soon... I am on BOKK and doing OTA update of iOS ...

Wish me luck!
[Samsung Gear S2] ChocolateCookie:
I am so sorry I did this so late... You will be able to connect it without the app and it should be okay. Let me know if you succeed please :)
[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
Believe it or not... It connected through the app... However I will post more in the future on how it actually works... So far the phone is pretty slow and warm, I guess due to indexing... So I'll get back on the point later.

Cheers!
[Samsung Gear S2] ChocolateCookie:
Interesting! Could you please post your Gear firm version?
[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
It's SM-R720 and KNOX 1.0.0 firmware: R720XXU2BOKK
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
I think that Samsung should also release "S Health" app for iPhone , otherwise you will not be able to use even from a sporting point of view .

And I think if "Gear Manager" do not release for the end of June , we'll talk about no earlier than September-October...:(
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Today running with Runtastic (iPhone) and Gear S2 with S-Healt...there is a difference of 1 km !!

For Runtastic I have running 10 km, for Gear...11 km !!! :)

[Samsung Gear S2] novovic:
It's sad, because I really like how S2 Looks opposed to iWatch... I wouldn't wanna switch, but if it goes indefinitely long without any word from Samsung... I don't know :/

On the other hand, I had one random by disconnect during this time... iOS works kind of sloppy so far :/ and apps crash... Amazingly Gear Manager doesn't... So normal notifications so far...
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
but it would be absurd if Samsung did not released more its app (or released it very very late ) ... actually it's strange....

[Samsung Gear S2] rexapollo:
Yes I have tried to install the golf app many times. It gets to 100% and never finishes installing. I love the watch but if they don't release an official app I will probably take it back. Problem is there not another watch that offers gps and music without your phone for running.
[Samsung Gear S2] amf:
Updated to iOS 10 Beta and my S2 still connects and works with the iOS Gear app.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Uff, There are many beautiful watchfaces to download (.gwd files), but it is impossible to install on Gear S2, right? Can we use an Android only for install watchfaces ? :confused:
[Samsung Gear S2] Mojo1094:
Is anyone able to host the file for the Gear Manager? The mediafire file was removed.
[Samsung Gear S2] kingaier:
Try this

http://www.usp-forum.de/downloads.php?do=file&id=2555
[Samsung Gear S2] pvdulmen137:
It is easy to install the watch faced via the watch designer. Look for the instructions on gearprojects.Com
[Samsung Gear S2] kingaier:
Most of the app installations stops at 100%. Is there fix for this?!!
[Samsung Gear S2] rexapollo:
App Install Issue

There doesn't appear to be a fix until/unless Samsung issues a final version of gear manager for iOS. Great watch not meeting its potential. Has anyone been able to get the maps and gps to work on the nike+ app?
[Samsung Gear S2] eiritsu:
Hey were u just asking how to get past the first screen so that you can see the watch face and use the watch as a normal watch.

For that you dont need to connect anything, I think the others misread your question.

You just have to tap the Samsung icon on the first screen for 3 seconds. It's really stupid I agree. The instructions are not clear and sometimes after I factory reset and redo this step it doesn't work straight away. Poor Samsung programming.

But yeah u can get into the watch face, see time change the face and track your steps without connecting to the phone.

You might be in luck though, if u haven't connected it to a Samsung it should be on the second to newest firmware. Try connecting to your iPhone. I worked for me before I upgraded it via my Samsung.

So sad. Glad I found this thread. I thought it might be my iPhone issue and was going to try everything including wiping it and reinstall.

Guess can only wait for the iOS gear manager app to come out.
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
Thanks ! I was able to get past that screen, at least I may use it as a watch while waiting for an ios gear manager (supposing I manage to set the time) ! I checked the firmware version and it's actually up to date, even though I just bougth it and never connected it with a samsung or any other android devices...
[Samsung Gear S2] gidi:
Hey all,

Can't we just downgrade via Odin to the FW that plays nice with iPhone?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
Yes, it works with the iPhone. But how do I set the time. The clock goes after 3 hours, the minutes and the date are okay.
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
My clock also displays the wrong hours but I wasn't able to connect it to the iphone, even after activating it as a stand alone... How did you do ? By the way I checked the firmware, the System Software R720XXU2BOKK was already installed whe I bougth it...
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
With my iPhone, it only works in stand-alone as well. Clock wrong to 3 hours. So useless, we have to wait for the update.

It is wrong to say that the clock is connected to the iPhone. It is important to say that the clock can only be activated with the help of the iPhone.

But it may also be that you do not even needed the iPhone. But I have not tried that.
[Samsung Gear S2] Md2585:
Well I could not connect it to my iphone, so in my case it's more like "no iphone needed but useless because the time is wrong" :(

I really hope that the gear manager is coming in the app store before the end of the month...
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
That's it !!! You are very right.
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Any real info that it is indeed going out for iOS in January? I just read some rumours but nothing solid... :/

I read at some sites that it is "later this year" ... which means .... it can go out in December 2016... or not at all.

On other sites they mentioned mid January ... but I it's passed that and there is no app.

I really hope apple will allow it into appstore soon, but may happen that they will present apple watch 2 first, then let it settle in for 2-3 months and then maybe they will allow some 3rd party smartwatches compatibility applications. Gear s2 is going to get a lot attention from iPhone users. Thus from apple point of view, it would be kind a shot in their own foot to allow this happen before their apple watch 2 :/

What do you think?
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
You're probably right. The last concrete statement was to be found in Sammobile.com: "The company has pledged to bring support for iOS*devices later this month." (http://www.sammobile.com/2016/01/21/samsung-launches-the-gear-s2-and-the-gear-vr-in-india/). Whether this is true will show the week. However, I fear that rather your description is correct. Especially if you are familiar with the chaotic nature of sales and service at Samsung and the displeasure with Apple to open.

Maybe the English is not so well - it's from Google-Translator :(
[Samsung Gear S2] niemans14:
Yeahh the rumors has been messin arround bout couple months ago, and still no fix date when will be arrived on apple store, end of december....later this year...mid january....and now later this month :crying:
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
And here the next joke from http://www.sammobile.com/2016/01/25/samsung-updates-gear-manager-app-adds-battery-level-indicator/ "As Samsung promised during its press conference at CES 2016, the company might soon release the Gear Manager app for iOS devices." I can not hear it all, because I no longer believe it :(

... and 7 hours later this:

http://www.sammobile.com/2016/01/25/exclusive-samsung-plans-to-bring-almost-all-its-apps-to-ios/
[Samsung Gear S2] Zagzagel:
My guess is Apple is holding the Gear Manager app hostage until Samsung pays them an additional $180M for patent infringement.

http://bit.ly/1JDMpDh

How much do you want to bet Gear Manager appears in the App Store the day after Samsung pays. If Apple can get Google to pay $1B to be the default search engine in iOS, they can surely use the App Store approval process as leverage against Samsung.
[Samsung Gear S2] Scrupix:
Oh, common, I really like the Gear S2 and I use an iPhone.... I am not sure if is ok to buy the Gear S2 because if they will not offer the application soon it will be useless for me, some blogs state that will be available later this year, some others by the middle of January (which already past...)
[Samsung Gear S2] SRZ1977:
They also said Samsung Pay would come in November 2015 for the watch, and now it is almost February 2016. Us Samsung phone owners aren't even being taken care of properly. Ugh...I'm wondering if their software people can't even figure out how to implement it.
[Samsung Gear S2] eiritsu:
About this, anyone had the skills to attempt and succeed at this?

So we know a few things.

Previous Firmware:

Can link with iphone

Can udpate time with iphone (my time was fine)

Can receive notifications, just not do anything more, which is actually fine.

New Firmware:

Cannot Sync time with iphone even if can link up.

Cannot be discovered by iPhone if paired with Samsung Gear manager.

Factory reset doesn't fix this.

Works with other Samsung devices. (My Samsung tablet can detect the watch just fine after the firmware upgrade while my iPhone couldn't)

Apparently the developer mode on the Gear S2 allows the PC to connect to it and do "stuff" on it.

Has anymore explored flashing the old ROM, firstly where to find that.

And revert the activation?

Or simply put, find out what is blocking the watch from letting the iPhone connect to and remove/tweak that file manually?

I tried looking it in iFile on my iPhone but I realised its an Android restriction.

I can detect the Gear S2 using the BlueTooth detector app on my iphone but it is not detected in the regular settings page.

Wish some android engineers will have a way around this...
[Samsung Gear S2] gidi:
Is there a way to flash the old firmware via NetOdin? Where do we find that? Can someone with the old FW do an ADB pull or smth like that?
[Samsung Gear S2] Andralerv:
Soon february an no Samsung gear app yet...

I bought a S2 on this information and i Wonder if it was a big mistanke:(
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
There is hope : http://www.devicemag.com/2016/01/29/samsung-adds-new-apps-and-updates-to-ios/

". . . Samsung’s gadget-based app collection in iOS is currently limited to only Gear Manager App. . . "

would that mean it is out already?

have our prayers been heard ? XD
[Samsung Gear S2] Titleistgolf:
Gear Manager iOS app

Looking at the site stating gear manager has already been published I can't find any details nor its presence in the apple App Store. I would have thought this update would be out already. I am growing tired of searching the net and Twitter for updates. I did see that Samsung's family square is available now. So maybe soon for gear manager?
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
I noticed that the watchfaces are installed almost all (about 95%), the app did not try to do it...but there are very few and many are useless, for me. Which you want to install?

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

On Gear Projects.com I find only watchfaces ready to install...:confused:

I found on this forum the instructions for installation, but they seem a bit 'complicated ... I will see ...:eek:
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Samsung! Where is the app?!?!?

WatchOS 3 came out, time for your move Samsung!

Give us the Gear Manager app!
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
I hope for the end of June/July....but I fear for the end of October/November...:(
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Damn, still getting full bluetooth disconnects now when the app crashes. I had it working for maybe a day or two after I reset to factory but now it's back to disconnecting and can't reconnect for some time then randomly connects up fine....only to disconnect again. This is super annoying because I have no new apps on either watch or iphone, same firmware and no rhyme or reason for this happening!
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Is very strange. I have no more disconnections (or crash) for at least 3 weeks! Now it works great (iPhone 6, iOs 9.3.2 and R720XXU2CPC5)!
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Weird. I have the classic so R732XXU2CPC5, iphone 6s with 9.3.2. Maybe the 6s has a different bluetooth profile or something....
[Samsung Gear S2] rexapollo:
Apps

Has anyone been able to successfully install the golf app from the gear manager on their iPhone? It is the only app I have tried and cannot get to install. It just gets to 100% and never finishes.
[Samsung Gear S2] christophe.leriche@neuf.f:
If you are talking about Golf Navi, I did it (and the app works properly)
[Samsung Gear S2] rexapollo:
Did it work first time you tried to install? What firmware does your watch have? What iPhone and iOS do you have? Thanks for your help
[Samsung Gear S2] slpro:
I have the 6s with 9.3.3 Public Beta 3 and no disconnects or app crashes. On 9.3.2 was the same, no problems...
[Samsung Gear S2] frip745:
Agreed, less disconnections with iphone 6.
[Samsung Gear S2] Eric400:
My I phone isn't able to fine my s2 throw Bluetooth any suggestions
[Samsung Gear S2] swyner:
Did you install the Gear Manager app? As long as bluetooth is turned on on iphone, the Gear app guides you through the connections. make sure you do a factory reset of the Gear S2 and that the first screen on the watch shows it's waiting for connection.
[Samsung Gear S2] g_gomez_84:
Evening folks, anyone know where i might be able to download the app so that i can test it?
[Samsung Gear S2] Eberhart:
Not working on iPhone SE

On the iPhone 6s it worked fine, but it don`t work on my iPhone SE. Can you please fix it?
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
It doesn't work on the SE yet. Maybe when they release the official app they'll add the SE compatibility. But it's samsung who has to fix it, we as far as I know can't do anything.
[Samsung Gear S2] Eberhart:
Okay thanks. Because it says: "Samsung Gear S2 Lite-App is not supported from this simulator"
[Samsung Gear S2] jjr3211:

[Samsung Gear S2] pjbnz:

I'm sorry I just meant that it worked I have a iPhone 6s+
[Samsung Gear S2] ChocolateCookie:
Hi all,

I used a Samsung phone of a friend and updated the gear to: R732XXU2CPC4

I also downgraded my iPhone 6S to 9.3.2 and the gear connects to the app and works perfectly, without any disconnects for 2 days now.

Does anyone really know the main source of the leaked Gear Manager Lite? Just wondering if there are updates somewhere. I know it's not an official app but if Samsung is truly working on it, you would think there would be more versions being tested prior to hitting App Store.

That's what I tought too.

IMPORTANT NEWS from Sammobile.com, about new update: "you no longer need to pick up your paired smartphone to install recommended apps on the watch, as you can see in the images below" :D

This new feature is useful for iOS users (waiting for Gear Manager official app), we will have so many new apps to install, I hope !!! ;)

My 3g/4g at&t s2 does NOT show this new update.:(

Today, July 18: I was able to download and install the newest update.

Here is the good and bad news:

1. Bad news: from the s2, unable to install any new app or new watch faces directly - error msg "unable to connect to the network"

2. Good news: able to install new watch faces and new apps from my iPhone 6 Plus - previously got stuck in 100%

Good luck to y'all!

[Samsung Gear S2] smitherenez:
I presume you (we all ;) will need the official release of the IOS app for this to function...

Just a thought...The case that you can load apps, widgets and watch faces directly from the watch, might be a great way for Samsung to not use the official IOS app store for purchases afterwards...
[Samsung Gear S2] Ashditz:
Anyone got the update already? Can you update directly from the watch?

Yeah, I thought so . But when ? I wonder what they're waiting for. I also asked SamMobile ( which I think is very reliable) on twitter, but nothing....:(

Hello:

I'm in the US and running on iOS Gear Software and paired to Gear S2 (Wifi version). In the Gear Info menu, I'm seeing "Update Gear Software" scrolling. Clicking on it displays "Checking for updates" and after a while displays "The latest updates have already been installed". The software version is "R720XXU2CPC5". Also tried to install CNN app and it is stuck at 100%.

Doing a complete reset and pairing to a S6 Edge don't even show the "Update Gear Software" option under Gear Info menu.

How to update to the new firmware on iOS?

Please help.

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] smitherenez:
Hi, only thing I can say is that I updated directly from the watch with Wi-Fi enabled. That did the trick. The software version you need is R732XXU2CPB7 . Might be that samsung did not make it available over there? (I'm in the Netherlands)
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Apparently the update does not appear at all, it depends on the area where you are. However, I have updated directly from the Gear, wifi enabled.

Uhm, I wanted to try the "sleep monitoring"...but it seems that requires S-Healt on phone...:(
[Samsung Gear S2] touchsc:
For those who are lucky enough to get the update and on iOS, please try Pear Sports app which uses the built in HRM or any Bluetooth LE external HR sensor for any workout.
[Samsung Gear S2] FN2187:
There is no way to get to the sleep data from the watch itself?? It seems like this would be very useful and in line with the goal of having to rely less on the phone. I can get to my steps and HR data directly on the watch, why not the sleep as well. That seems like a bad design.
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Uhm, according to some, enough sleep and "sleep monitor" is activated alone. But I have not tried, are not used to sleeping with the watch. :D

Some of you can try ? :o
[Samsung Gear S2] peach love:
But there is no mention of the release for the 3g/4g variant, R735:D
[Samsung Gear S2] smitherenez:
As far as i understood, you will need both the latest version of Gear Manager and S-Health - both still not available for IOS users...
[Samsung Gear S2] Agent_Mulder:
Nobody have a "leaked" version of S-Healt ? :)
