So I may wondering if the Samsung gear S and tablet will work since the gear S has 3G calling and is standalone and I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S which I could have the Samsung app store would this combo work with out the need of a phone? I have a Samsung Note 4 btw

The Gear S cannot perform as a wifi hotspot, and I wouldn't suggest it even if it could. Think of it as a shrunken down featurephone of sorts, but with an incredibly small battery.
However, if you are content to use the tab with wifi only, then it can be a good pair.
I had the gear 2 and the tab s. I had the gear manager on the tab and it worked for setup. If you are interested in just setting up the gear you can go this route. You just won't have the connection to your note 4.
Ok I see thanks I have the Tab S LTE and I have a gear 2 I use them together as well I'm trying to eliminate the need for an extra line with the gear S. I would answer the calls and call from the gear S and use my tablet I want the Note 4 to stay connected to the gear 2 unless I can add both the gear 2 and gear S on the note 4. The tablet is the same monthly price as the gear S
unable to pair with tab s
I was unable to pair my gear s with my tab s lte.
Downloaded gear manager, but it was unable to find device.
It did show up under Bluetooth devices, but when I tried to pair that way, it would open up gear manager with an error message saying that it was not compatible with this mobile device or software needed to be updated. As far as I know my device is fully updated.
Looks like I will need a Samsung phone.

Exactely the same here, what a shame, I have a watch I can't use. Samsung Switzerland wrote me, that the Galaxy Tab S is supported, so I don't understand. I hope they soon provide a fix, can't believe it!
Well damn I have a Note 4 and the LTE tab S hopefully Samsung will update the gear manager soon that would be great I don't need three different 2 Year plans

AFTER pairing with Galaxy S4 (Everything working, SIM installed to Gear S only) I paired to Galaxy Tab 3 8" - Gear will FACTORY RESET so make sure to have full local backup. (see a/m marvelous XDA instructions) Seems to work fine though functionality is limited (Tab 8 is WIFI only)

I have exactly the same situation here in Turkey, a gear s and a tab s , which connect very poorly and I can not update the gear manager . It tells me that it is not compatible with the tablet anymore. Did you manage to get a solution from samsung Switzerland?
I have my Gear S watch - love it! My Note II finally gave out so I replaced it with the Samsung Note Pro 4G (eBay $350)! Gear Manager is found in Google play but it says that it's not compatible with my device. I found a paid app called Gear Manager for all devices but I'm hesitant to go with this... I've read that some have been able to install Gear Manager on a tablet. How???

I've first connected the Gear fit to my Note and it work well but the problem began when I want to use it with my wife's S4 Activ. Even after reseting the Gear fit, it will never delete the link with the Note 3 and I'm not able to connect the Gear to the S4,
After each connection test, the gear manager is deleted from the Sç and I must download it again to thave the same problem.
Any other way to reset the gear than the rest button at the end of the menu?
The reset button should delete the link with Note but it won't work and after restting the gear all stuff downloaded in from the note 3 is still here and ther's no connection possible with the S4 and certainly with other's devices.
Any help welcome
Thanks to have put the link to the doc on the site, unavailable on samsung sites (Gear lite not listed to)

I bought the Gear S yesterday and wanted to pair it with my Tab S 8.4 (T705). Unfortunately it is not possible, I feat it only works with mobile phones? (even the Tab S is also a mobile phone). Anyone know a promising solution? Thanks!

Have you tried installing Gear Manager manually? There are videos that show how to pair Gear 1 and 2 to non Samsung devices, maybe it also works for the gear s..

Yes I tried that, at least I changed the Model Number in build.prop (because I don't have to instal Samsung Services because it is a Samsung device). Didn't work out either...Interesting is, that with an old version of Gear Manager I can find the Gear S, but when I want to connect, it only sais "connecting to Gear" for hours...

The gear S should be able to connect to the tab it may show up as a bluetooth device only . My gear 2 pairs to my Tab S LTE/Wifi. That is very odd. Have you tired both gear managers old and new?

I tried that. I see the Gear S as a bluetooth device in settings but when I want to pair, it tells me, that the software ist not compatible. In Gear Manager, I don't find any device. Samsung Switzerland told me, that it is NOT compatible with Tab S at this moment, very disappointing. Hope for a fix, when Gear S is available worldwide. Meanwhile at least, I figured out, that the easter egg trick from Gear 2 (Press 25 Times screen when it wants to pair) works as well on Gear S, so you can use it as a phone wihtout pairing it to a Samsung device.

Hi Cyman,
I have just bought the Gear S from Digitec, probably you bought from the same store.
Very disappointed that it needs a Galaxy smartphone (and not even all of them are actually compatible) for the sync with the Gear Manager app, I found it out later once I got home since the package said that it needs only an Android 4.3 with 1.5 GB of RAM minimum.
I have a Tab 3, also trying to pair: I could install all the versions from XDA but without succeeding so far.
I will let you know.

I'm not sure, what is is that helped. I tried the way from the other post for non Galaxy-Devices, I was able to pair but not to connect via Gear Manager. Then I changed my build.prop to a Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500 and device=Phone) and then I upgraded to the lastet Gear Manager. Suddenly I saw the Gear S as a device and it connected. Maybe you should try these two things? Best of luck!

Some folks asked about if it's possible to use it as a stand alone device without the need of activating it in the first place with a Samsung device. It is! (I read that easter egg trick somewhere else in XDA for the Gear 2, it works as well for Gear S)
1. Jump to the screen, where it's visible for Samsung Devices in activation process. You'll see the unique name of your Gear S and a small Watch Icon on the left of the name
2. Tap around 25-30 times on the Watch Icon
3. Now a short message appears saying something about bluetooth. Just ignore it, it will vanish after a few seconds
4. Now tap again on the watch icon but this time leave your finger on the screen for around 5 seconds
5. Voilà, your Gear S is now activated, you can't use it as a remote Smartwatch but as a phone watch at least.
Hope, someone figures out how to pair it with Tab S soon since this is my phone
So, i hope it pairs with my LG G2 without much hassle? Remote sharing probably wont work because it is using Samsung account?
What about all other functions, like notifications, call forwarding etc? Is i even possible to reply on your phone and send via Gear S for messages

If the Steps above don't work buy the watch in the store and have the store pair/ or you to pair it with the display Model of the Note 4 (A guy in the Gear S thread has an iphone and this worked for him) Everything should work as a regular phone besides downloading apps (that needs to connect to the gear manager) and updates ( needs gear manager) Search the Gear 2 thread (Pair with non-Samsung phone works the same for our watch) Tizen is the OS and it should all work the same

The Op method worked. Now how do i update and connect with my LG G2? In my phone it just says connecting
I connected Gear S to Kies and it says it already has the latest FW
So text messages notifications do not work. That's all I was able to test.
i have an htc m8 .. does this mean i won't get text message notifications either??
I dont think it will.
Gear Manager needs to forward the text notification to your Gear S from your phone.
You might be able to do text if you use at&t messages as a default messaging app try that.
Amazing. This worked. THANK YOU!
Questions:
1) Bluetooth between iPhone and Gear S keeps dropping. How do you fix this?
2) Can you pair the device with more than 1 device? So for example, it's now paired with my 6 Plus. Can add a Galaxy to it so I can add apps? Seems to always factory reset the device.
3) I know text doesn't work but can we use Calendars or Email somehow?

Regarding the question 2:
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and an Iphone. My Iphone is my main phone.
Currently, i successful paired my iphone without the factory reseting. To do that: first i rooted my Gear S. After i use the sdb tool (tizen wearable sdk):
./sdb root on
./sdb shell
and then
cd /var/lib/bluetooth
and i delete the directory with a lot of number (the bt adress of the gear) . Example rm -r C4:42:02:19:99:8D
After i can paired with the iphone without the factory reset.
The problem is i have to do the same thing to reconnect the Galaxy Note 2.
To be continued....

Hold on ... you're deleting the bluetooth address for the Gear?
And how are you not getting this:
No, i don't think that. This directory contains some bluetooth information relating the local (Gear S) address. When i (re)pair it, the directory becomes.
In fact, there is a sub directory with paired bt adresss containing some others informations. To be proper, i deleted the local directory: there is no memory reset, no app lost. I tried to merge the sub directory (the iphone and note 2 bt adress directory), but for the moment it's not concluant.
No, the pairing is sucessfully and i can make a phone call from the Gear S throw the Iphone. For an incoming call , it's another thing: the Gear S rings (but , it's configured in vibration model !), but there is no sound unlike i transferred the call to the iphone and after to the Gear S (not cool !).

Yes, it's a Gear S SM-R750.

BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
Hey everyone,
I just got myself a Gear Fit and wanted to connect it to my (rooted and Custom-ROM) S4.
Everything works fine on my (stock) Note 10.1 2014, it connects to the Fit and everything seems to be ok.
I want to pair it with my S4 though and that does not work.
I got the Latest Download from Here and installed the Fit Manager.
It does attempt to connect to the Fit and then when pairing it jst sits there and does nothing. After some time the Fit attempts another connection, however it does nothing after that either...
Does anyone have an Idea?
Edit:
By now I've tried versions:
1.111.1216 (no connection)
1.78.0721 (crashes on connection)
1.96.1124 (same)
and the "Latest Official" from Here (no connection)
Same with zopo 3x
Hi I have the same or a similar problem. With Samsung s3 on cyanogenmod pairing and connection was fine. My gear fit is on newest firmware and I tried all managers from 1.55 to 1.88. My zopo does pair but not connect. Connection screen on phone is waiting forever. No message. The gear fit wait for pair confirmation of phone. Very strange
Any idea? I tried also to delete pairing in Android Bluetooth settings. Same behavior on next pairing.
Disabling "Developer options" helped in my case on Galaxy Note 4 pairing with Gear 2.
No solution for this Problem? Can't connect my gear fit since firmware upgrade :crying:

Apparently, you need to download the Gear Fir Manager from apps.samsung.com/gearfit not from the samsung app store.
The Samsung app store version does not work, you need to download the latest gear app from the website, gd luck
Yeah it's a bit late but try to get back on Sammy based firmware. That's strange because on lollipop on my Note 4 I couldn't connect to Fit but on S3L with 4.4.4 Note'd 4 software it works perfectly(hah because of Fit went back to S3 )
