I installed Samsung gear app on iphone and it says NO GEAR DEVICES. App says to update gear software. My version software on samsung gear s2 is: R720XXU2BOKK. Version: KNOX. I will try to update it with a samsung mobile and then I will come back to the iphone and try it.

Just to give more information, my girfriend has a Samsung gear s2 too and she has version software: R720XXU2AOJ3. Version: KNOXX. She is able to pair the iphone with her samsung gear s2 without the application, just as a bluetooth device. I was able to do it as well but I made a big mistake of pairing it with a samsung mobile and I updated the software of the samsung gear s2, then came back to my iphone and the Iphone didn't find samsung gear S2.
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Finally some good news. I have a feeling that the app is ready and we just gotta wait for it to be published.

It looks very legit. I don't think someone would go all the way to make a fake gear manager app for iphone.

I have a feeling it is close ;)
[Samsung Gear S2] rino76:
I had firmware OJ3 and Gear manager not found. Then I upgraded firmware BOKK and s2 Gear detected and coupled
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
If you restore the gear to factory settings having the bokk firmware it works with the app, I've just done it.
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
correct! I restored it and it's working!! Perfect!! Thank you very much!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
I have the R720XXU2AOJ3 too, connected with my iPhone. I think my Andoid phone is not compatible, cause he says "no gear detected" so I can't update :( tried everything, restore, reboot...
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
I didn't try this, but maybe with this http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eR0giyA and NetOdin you could update it.
[Samsung Gear S2] palmocl:
Install API in iphone

How i can install the aplication in my iphone? Is necessary has jailbreak?
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
No, jailbreak is not necessary. Just download it, connect your iphone via itunes and doble click the app (the file you downloaded). Then syncronice your iphone using itunes and it will install the app, but in order to be able to open it you must go to Settings, General, Profile Management and select the Samsung certificate and tap on "trust" or something like that. Then you will be able to open the app.
[Samsung Gear S2] _gertjan:
You can download the .ipa on your computer and open it in itunes. Then sync your'e iPhone with itunes. After that, open the app on your phone. After that, you get a message that your'e not allowed to open this app. After dismissing this message you can establish trust for this app developer. Tap Settings > General > Profiles or Profiles & Device Management. You then see a a profile for the developer under the "Enterprise App" heading. Tap the profile to establish trust for this developer.

I still can't update my firmware, my watch says that i have the newest version... So waiting for the official release then! ;)
[Samsung Gear S2] skofield_:
sorry for my English what version of iphone works, my 4s says not supported gear manager
[Samsung Gear S2] pauly_long:
Any ideas where to get the BOKK firmware? I've been doing searches here and have found nothing yet. I do have the older version, but the iphone gear manager can't see it.
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
Maybe you could install the bokk firmware from here http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eR0giyA with NetOdin following the steps shown in here http://xdaforums.com/gear-s2/general/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123 but I didn't try this so I don't know if this will work.

I guess that best option is to borrow for a few minutes a compatible android phone, restore the gear to factory settings, connect to the android phone with gear manager, update the firmware, restore the gear to factory settings(again) and finally pair it with the iphone via the gear manager app
[Samsung Gear S2] pauly_long:
This worked. Good thing my son has a Samsung phone ... :)
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
So what do you get with the downloaded gear manager app?

Any new functions beyond what notifications?

Any other "in-gear" apps?

I am wondering.

Thanks for the answer!
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
Thank you everybody for the tests. Upgraded with the Xperia of my bro, everything works ! Notifications, store, music control, calendar, ...

A lot of new apps on the gear
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Can you show some screenshots from iphone about the store?

So you are saying that the samsung/gear app store is active for iphone with this app?

what apps did you download?

how come we do not hear anything official about it from samsung?

If they already wrapped it up and it is functional with active store etc shouldn't they start blowing the horns?

kinda worries me installing something on my iphone from a forum link :/
[Samsung Gear S2] jiggygent:
Anyone have a link to manually update to the R720XXU2BOKK firmware for the US? The baidu link requires you to have a baidu account. Not sure what region that ROM is for..
[Samsung Gear S2] jiggygent:
OK, I signed up for baidu and downloaded the firmware. It installed fine. Looks like the firmware originates from France as the default language was French. Once I connected to the iPhone via the Gear app, the language auto updated to English. I tested installing an app from the Gear store and that completed successfully. Also tested initiating playing music from the watch to phone. That was also successful. My calendar shows nothing in the app, but I had added an appointment to my calendar on my phone. Not sure whats up with that. Notifications work fine even when you close exit the app. I'm guessing you can't kill the app or you'll lose that. There was a warning about it when I first connected to the Gear app. It seems like mostly everything works! Thanks for posting a link to the app!
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
Can't wait to try it when I get home tomorrow
[Samsung Gear S2] just4funOk:
Many thanks for your reviews. I thinks the official version is so close to releasing. So exciting right now :highfive::highfive:
[Samsung Gear S2] niemans14:
hello..

this is my review for gear manager on ios..

First thing i do reset factory on my gear device, then connect to my friend samsung and do an update software from ther gear manager apps, i received an R732XXU2CPC4.

After sucsessfuly update my gear device, then i do resetting my gear device again 'reset factory', and connecting to my ios gear manager apps.

It's connected, any standard apps is installed on my device, push notification work from iphone to gear s device.

What is not succeeding at my point now are :

I'm not able to install watchfaces or maybe any apps from the galaxy manager store, the progress are just like downloading then stuck to installing..

anyone facing this problem ?
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
Today I tried it, too. My Gear S2 is running CPC5, the first try without reset was not working - the iPhone with iOS 9 was not finding the Gear.

So I put it back to factory settings and then I started the connection which worked, even with the new CPC5 firmware.

So I called me and the watch is just showing unknown, but the missed call is displayed correct.
[Samsung Gear S2] niemans14:
Have you installed any apps from the gear manager store? is it working?
[Samsung Gear S2] jiggygent:
I don't know if it's because of the firmware or the fact that it's a Gear S2 Classic, but I'm not having the same issues niemans14. I was able to install a watchfaces as well as apps from the Gear App store without issue. Maybe try downgrading your firmware to see if that helps? or a reboot of the watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
Here's 3 watchfaces I have installed from store. No problem encountered. The weather app is also running fine.

IMO this is the last beta release before public version

I think you don't' have to worry about installing this app.
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
And now after re booting the Gear (Power off / on) and the iOS App crashing problem, the apps are getting installed.

(If you have the crashing problem, start "get more apps" on the Gear S2 and on your phone you will receive a message to open the app.
[Samsung Gear S2] niemans14:
I'm wondering can i use the BOKK firmware for my Gear S2 Classsic?

And if i can, do you have more friendly link (not baidu) because its very dificult even to register as a new member.
[Samsung Gear S2] boypro25:
My s2 is CPC4 too and I can install watchfaces from Galaxy store. Maybe you should reboot Gears2 and reboot iphone. Then, you sign up one acount SamSung. Try again! ;)
[Samsung Gear S2] alex_ross:
Watch FW updated to last ver by Gear app on Xiaomi Mi3. Reseted to factory settings.

After that iPhone connected to watch without any issues. Everything works: notifications, weather, maps, music control, installing new apps and watch faces. Awesome.
[Samsung Gear S2] niemans14:
Yup after i reboot the device, forget the bluetooth connection on my iphone, and once more reset factory settings on my gear s2, then start refresh, now i can install apps and watchfaces, but some apps are still can't install like cnn watchfaces, snoopy and woodstock watchfaces, still ocure the same problem (installing 100% but nothing happen). :confused:
[Samsung Gear S2] boypro25:
In Galaxy store, I don't see app "Mr. Time maker" and all watchface appear in store is free?
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
Hi guys! I installed the samsung gear app and samsung gear s2 works on my iphone. I can see on my watch all notifications (but not reply them). I have R720XXU2BOKK as a software version. There is a option on the watch for UPDATE GEAR SOFTWARE via wifi from the watch. Would you recommend me to install the latest software version on the watch? After that, will I be able to still using the watch with the Samsung gear app for iphone ? thanks on advice guys. I want to have the samsung gear update it and connected with my iphone with the samsung gear app
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Ok. I installed the app. Updated my watch with a Korean friend's phone, works like a charm.

Do you see any paid applications? All I see is free.
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
Hi Vives, no like others already wrote - it's just free apps and also that some apps / themes can't be installed. (stoping at 100%)
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
I am installing them now, indeed some work and some stop at 100% (CNN watch face got stuck at 100%).

Wondering if they release the official app, will we be able to update it from this version to the official one?
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
I don't think so, because you haven't bought it from the AppStore.

There are still enough problems inside (unknown number on the watch, crashing app sometimes, etc. ) But it's good to see, that they are really doing something and not just say soon we will support the iPhone.
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
I can see the caller id on the gear s2.

However the gear manager app gets stuck if I want to preview the app picture.
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Also, I was wondering. So once connected via bluetooth. The gear s2 uses the internet from the phone or do I have to connect it separately via wi-fi?

I mean, for example: the maps app. Does the new map tiles load via bluetooth connection (watch --> iphone --> internet) or it has to be directly (watch --> internet (wifi etc)) ?
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
Does imessage show on the watch?
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
Yes, sender and message will been shown

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I just tried it, and it's also working just with wifi.
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
Awesome thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
My weather app only updates when the gps is turned on on my phone.

If it is switched off it keeps saying that it is unable to get the location.

Do you have the same issue with weather app?

Is it possible to just set the city manually?
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
Adding a city manual in the app, like on android is not existing in the iOS app.

And yes the weather is not updating if no Bluetooth connection exists, even if the Wifi is working.

But the good thing is, without running the Gear App in the background of the iPhone, is it still communicating to the watch - and the watch shows all notifications.
[Samsung Gear S2] dadshome:
I am probably the only owner here of the prehistoric iphone 4. Would the gear manager work on this phone as well?

Thx

Hey guys

Where do I download the app? I have the watch and an iPhone. I have them paired via Bluetooth. I can take calls. But no notifications come through. Does anyone know where I can down load the test app?

Am I the only unlucky person receiving this error when I open the app and tap "connect to gear" :(
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
Did you also changed the Settings? ( Settings -> General -> Profile Management and select the Samsung certificate and tap on "trust" or something like that, then you will be able to open the app.)
[Samsung Gear S2] HD2 User:
I have the same problem with the "Simulator........"

All setting are made by the Samsung profil!
[Samsung Gear S2] rockfresh15:
yes, it is trusted in the settings and still no luck
[Samsung Gear S2] HD2 User:
Which iOs version have you?

I'm on 9.2.3 Beta 2
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
Ei! I had the same problem about the unknown call, but just with one contact of my phone, and I have the solution. Change de order of the contact name. for example: John Lennon -> Lennon John. It works and now appears the name on the watch, before just appeared UNKNOWN. Hope it works on you.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

ei guys! I upgraded the watch from the watch via wifi, and now I have the last version: R720XXU2CPB7. Still able to pair the watch with the application and all runs good. This weekend I will try the next: I will pair the watch with the samsung of my sister with the official app and I will transfer lot of apps, then I will pair it again with my Iphone. Hope it works. I will let you know.

About the new software version there's nothing special to say. Just airplane mode, auto brightness and nothing more special.

Ah! I Installed MAPS app and it works great! Having a GPS on the watch it's great. And yes, there are some apps that got stuck in 100% and never arrives to the watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] dadshome:
Nobody knows if the watch works with the iphone 4?
[Samsung Gear S2] rockfresh15:
I'm on 9.3.1 ...on an iPhone se...I guess no ones on that current a version of iOS? And [MENTION=7411236]dadshome[/MENTION] I doubt very highly it will work on a 4, not even an Apple Watch works on a 4 and as far as I've seen every wearable needs at LEAST a 4s
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
Not sure about 9.3.1. I'm on 9.2.1 and it works. Probably it will work with 9.3.1.
[Samsung Gear S2] Umberto Lab:
firmware download

here a easier way to download it https ://yadi.sk/d/xHLSPAxLmFijN
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
On my iPhone 5S with 9.3.1, everything works

I just received my iPhone SE, but the app doesen't work :(

I have the same message "Simulator not supported"...

I think it's related to the app, who test on which iPhone we are... and the SE is too new
[Samsung Gear S2] HD2 User:
Yes, i think so too, i'm also on 5se.........:good:
[Samsung Gear S2] gidi:
Can someone confirm the Gear S works with the iPhone? I am especially interested in the remote connection capability.
[Samsung Gear S2] Chrissiegen:
my gear is on R720XXU2AOJ3 and my iphone 6 with gear manager don´t find anything. can someone help my, please
[Samsung Gear S2] just4funOk:
You had to connect your gear with a android phone and update the latest firmware for gear. After that you factory reset the gear and you can pair the gear with your iphone
[Samsung Gear S2] Chrissiegen:
OK but i have no android phone. can i upgrade the gear without an android phone
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
Nope, but you can find a friend with an Andoid phone
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
- canceled -
[Samsung Gear S2] ski21:
is the cpc5 for the 3g version?
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
Ei mate, you can update it without samsung phone. Enter to GEAR INFO on the watch an press UPDATE GEAR (you need to be connected to a wifi via your watch). If you can not enter to the watch, I mean if you got stuck on the screen that says: DOWNLOAD A SAMSUNG GEAR APP.... that's not a problem. Just press de yellow icon three or four times, then it will appears a message saying: press yellow icon for a three seconds, so press the icon three seconds and you will have your watch available. Just as I said before, connect de watch via wifi, go to gear info and update your watch. Hope it helps :)
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
No, the update on the watch doesnt work. You have to connect to an Android Phone... the method "press yellow icon for a three seconds" is to enter standalone to pair with an iPhone without Gear Manager and with the stock firmware
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
mmmm I did it on that way. I wanted the watch with the last software version and I had no friend close with Samsung on that moment. So I entered to stand alone mode (you can see the time, and go to settings, etc) then I joined wifi connection and after that I went to GEAR INFO and I found a new version that I downloaded. Once I had the watch upgraded, I entered to settings and RESTAR GEAR WATCH. Once restarted I got the screen where it says: DOWNLOAD SAMSUNG GEAR APP...... I opened the app on my iPhone 5S and I was able to pair it. That's what I did.
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
Ok I may be wrong... let's see the feedback of Chrissiegen
[Samsung Gear S2] Chrissiegen:
I don´t find any Update. it says that the newest are installed.
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
So, find a friend with an Android phone, he don't need to worry about his data, you have to reset the watch after update...

---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

So, for those who comes now, here's a small modest guide :

First :

- iPhone SE is not compatible, and it seems iPhone 4 and 4s neither...

- after upgrading, you can no longer use your S2 on iPhone without Samsung Gear Manager (or have to downgrade it)

If the leaked Samsung Gear Manager app on iPhone can't see your S2, you have to upgrade it :

1. Reset your S2 and disable BT on your iPhone

2. Connect your S2 to Samsung Gear app on an Android Phone

3. Update your S2, enable BT on iPhone and delete (or forgett) the Gear Watch in BT (previously connected with BT)

4. Reset your S2 and disable BT on the Android phone

5. Connect your S2 to Samsung Gear app on the iPhone

Done
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
guys, one more thing: I want more apps on the watch and in the app of the iPhone there are just few of them. I'm thinking to install samsung gear app in an android phone and download and install good apps on the watch and then come back to my iPhone and pair it again with. What do you think? any of you have tried? is it going to work or will I have some problems to pair it again?

MATCHEV, thanks for your guide. It will help a lot to the new visitors.
[Samsung Gear S2] castorranger:
I think you can''t pair with an other phone as master, I tried it yesterday with my work Samsung and it's not connecting.
[Samsung Gear S2] jiggygent:
You can manually upgrade with odin, but you'll need to find the firmware you would like to upgrade to. You can follow the instructions for installing here.
[Samsung Gear S2] charly_14_69:
One thing that I've notice and that could allow to install some not-appearing-on-iphone apps is that if you pair the s2 with an android phone and login with a samsung account in gear manager, you can download more watchfaces and apps that later will appear in the "my apps" section of the ios gear manager if you login with the same account, although some of these apps and watchfaces will get stuck on the 100%...

So you should:

-restore the gear to factory settings

-pair it with an android phone

-login with your samsung account on the gear manager

-Then download all the apps and watchfaces that you want to try

-Restore the s2 to factory settings again.

-pair it with the ios gear manager

-login with the same samsung account

-go to the gear store, then tap the 3 bars next to the search icon, the go to my apps

-try to install one by one and wish not to get stuck on the 100%

-enjoy
[Samsung Gear S2] Edu333:
Thanks a lot! This weekend I will have the samsung of my sister and I will try it, step by step as you said. Thank you very much! I will let you know on sunday :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Umberto Lab:
you can update manually with odin
[Samsung Gear S2] vitodotmac:
Could someone list the available (and not) features when paired GS2 (latest firmware) with iphone? I'd be grateful.

There is no messaging/email app. You can only read Messages when they come in. If you clear it, you can no longer go back and read it (because there is no Message and Mail app). You cannot also reply to messages and emails.

Thanks to everyone who found and figured out how to use this iphone app. It's been a long wait and at least this can hold me over until the official one comes out!!
[Samsung Gear S2] Cj2012:
Has anyone confirmed if you can put music onto the S2 using the iPhone gear manager

There is no option in the Samsung Gear Lite app to do that ... yet. ;)

[Samsung Gear S2] hns_hnz:
You dont have to use the BOKK firmware. It works with any firmware

This is what I've done :

- I reset the smartgear

- I pair the watch (with the samsung gear apps) with any of android device

- Upgrade the firmware, it took about 15-20 mins. I don't really remember

- And again, reset my watch 1 more time

- After that you can connect the iPhone with the gear apps. In order to connect the apps with the watch, in your iPhone device go to General -> Profile & Device Management. Verified the app

- Now you can connect the iPhone and the watch

You can play the music from the gear apps. I conform.
[Samsung Gear S2] B-In-ICT:
Are you sure it works with any firmware as I don't think AT&T has released upgraded firmy are for their 3G model. I've tried all suggestions with no success.

CPC4 Firmware

iPhone users - I did an update to the CPC4 firmware today via WiFi. The update enabled "Apps Layout" in Gear Manager and added a new watch face, but now most apps that I try to install from Gear Manager just get stuck at 100%. These are all apps that I was able to install when I was on BOKK.

I'm thinking of downgrading to BOKK - has anyone else had the same experience - i.e. having apps stuck at 100% since upgrading to CPC4? Have you found a workaround to be able to install apps?
