Hi,
Today someone told me via Google Plus how to install Gear Manager on non-Samsung mobiles. His name is Serge Berig. So 100% Credits go to him. I am just posting here what he posted in Google Plus. His Phone is Moto X and Mine in LG G2. Worked perfectly fine.
My Test Scenarios:
1. LG G2 D802 Rooted. Rooting is not required as his Moto X is unrooted.
2. I am using a separate SIM on Gear S.
3. I have disabled mobile data and Wifi on both Gear S and my mobile
How it Works:
1. Download Gear Manager Latest Version and GearManagerStub.apk from this link: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager (Credit goes to the uploader)
2. Download these APK Files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uemtAJSY3PVDFiY0FsVGRLN28/view?usp=sharing (Credit goes to Serge)
3. Move these files to your phone.
4. 1st install Gear Manager, then GearManagerstb.apk, then all remaining apks.
5. Open Gear Manager on your phone and viola. It connects, Resets your Gear S in case you used it before and as far as i checked everything Works
I did not test each and everything. As far as i know most thing works. Previously i had "Connecting Forever" Issue, now it connects straight away. I am using my Gear S as complete independent to Mobile Calls and SMS from my Mobile. I have not set any forwarding options or notification for Call and SMS from my mobile to Gear S.
Pls post your results
What's not Working:
1. Can't Transfer Music/Images from Phone
2.
I was just coming here to post this.
I can confirm this works on my stock G3.
Works:
Calls work, but i had to switch to the phone then back to bluetooth. Initially there was no audio. However that may have been a glitch, because it works after that without flipping back.
Notifications (you have to allow Gear Manager access to the notifications in Android System Menu)
Home Screen Styler
Find My Gear
Contacts pull down to Gear
Not Working:
Music player seems to be controlled through Gear Manager and not A2DP. So we may have to install Samsung Music player. Still investigating.
Transferring files to the Gear through Gear Manager crashes goproviders.apk. This also broke my notifications. Had to reboot the phone to get it back working.
Call Logs dont pull down
Weather app is missing
Receiving SMS in the watch SMS app. You get the notifications just fine, but the GEAR SMS app can't sync your conversations

I would imagine there is a newer goprovider.apk. The one he posted is 2.0.337.337. Thats the older one from the Gear 1/2 Gear Manager.
All the Samsung Gear S apps are version 2.2 and up. I was experimenting with the old Gear Manager and got similar crashes.
Just thought I'd chime in and let you know that I have the same version on my Note 4 with the Gear S. 2.0.337
Thanks for checking on that. It's got to be a missing lib or some TouchWiz framework.
It's not even a feature I care about, but i'm sure it will be needed later.
I'm still trying to find a fix for the music player controls.

You are right. I wonder what happened to it. When I skipped the activation, the weather app was there... Now that I got Gear manager to sync, it's gone.

Did you install the Stub Manager and all the 8 or so other APK's?
If you skipped the initial activation screen, make sure bluetooth is on, on the Gear S.
Also, try unpairing in the phone bluetooth menu then reopen Samsung Gear manager.

yes i installed the latest gear manager app as well as stub manager apk and other apks provided
this is my first time setting this watch up. my devices pair up but when i go to paired devices in the gear manager and try to connect, on my phone it says "connecting to gear" and the gear just has the "to connect to your mobile device, select the name of this gear in the samsung gear application" message
*EDIT*
got it working . i uninstalled everything that dealt with the gear under app manager in my phone and unpaired the device under bluetooth and re-installed everything again. it re-paired itself and it is working now.
I must have missed an APK somewhere
Glad to hear you got it working. Try some of things I listed as not working and see if you have different results. The more info we have, the better!
Music and images not worming here as well.
if I disconnect from Bluetooth my calls don't get forwarded to my watch. Can't send out text messages as well
Yeah I just want to chime in saying this isn't a fully working solution, but it works enough to keep me satisfied for now.
I'm sure as we get more people wearing these, more will jump on board to fix the issues we have.

Have managed to get the pedometer to work, when on the pedometer screen, go to the settings top right corner and select device data to view, you can then pick the gear fit. Not sure if you can view the sleep data anywhere on the phone yet.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!! You have no idea how long I spent trying to get this damn thing to work. When you pair a Fit it should ask you if you want to view it from phone or Fit. I actually had a support rep in their chat room tell me it's not possible.

I have also problem with S Health on my S4 (I9505). I can't connect Gear Fit with this app. But if you check Gear Fit Manager on S5 there is option S Health right in the main menu. But this option is missing in Gear Fit Manager on S4. And I don't know why? Also Gear Manager (not Gear Fit Manager) is not working on S4 with Gear Fit.

Wish i could offer more help, but the generic completely unsync the fit and try a resync. You would have thought the S health app would be the same. To import the details make sure you are on the pedometer screen and the pedometer is enabled on the Fit.
I hope there will be a lot of updates for S Health and Gear fit, as the sleep stats dont export anywhere and you can only view one days pedometer stats. I wish there was an exercise mode to monitor heart when lifting weights.

I tried to reset Gear Fit, re-install Gear Fit Manager, but nothing. I also reset all in S Health. S Health app needs still Gear Manager which is not working on S4 with Gear Fit and after this installation S Health writes only that I have to update Gear Manager but I have the newest version.
Why is Gear Fit Manager different on S5 and S4 ? Which version do you have?
They will probably fix it since people with s4 are a lot so I doubt Samsung will abandon them (us).

Are you on JB or Kit Kat? I think that has something to do with it.
hello guys, question, everytime I shutdown the gear fit and reboot it, I need to setup the settings all over again (wallpaper,profile, etch)is this normal? or just my unit? its annoying and the security pin is useless when you force shut it down, all the setting is reset

Gear 2 just available the other day and I got it today.
My Z Ultra is 4.3(14.2.A.0.290) and lucky that I can successfully connected with it. I followed instructions from below link to get Gear Manager with Samsung Apps installed on my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862
Below are my findings for those who are interested.
1. Phone Answering/Calling/AddressBook/Talking to the watch on my wrist is amazing.
2. Recorded Videos/Photos copied automatically to phone after recording.
3. Screen automatically turn on when you raised your hand to see clock.
4. Music can play from it's built-in Speaker.
Still needed functions.
1. No Call History.
2. Can't see the songs from Z Ultra. Have to copy songs.
Have to still find out about emails, sms and other notifications.
Cheers!
Hi,
Would love to know how you manage to use those apk.
I had to use previous gear manager ( in the g2n q&a subforum, LG thread), which works perfectly, but no s-health
With these on my z1, gear manager return a "failed to analyse package " error when trying to connect to the watch, and never connects

Hi,
I only installed Gear Manager(Item No. 17) from above link. After I installed, it asked to install a lot of other apks and I just confirmed to installed everything.
After that, only Gear Manager Icon shows on my phone and I didn't found S-Health. I also not need all those Exercise and Fitness programs.
Connection is fine and able to make calls, copying vidoes to phones,...

good to know! thanks
Hello all is this still working.....?
ATT just gave me my unlock code, so I am sending the T-mo watch back and just set up the ATT Gear S instead.
The problem is that I can't find a way to install apps that were on my first Gear S, onto my second Gear S. I can't redownload them from the store, but instead the button says to go back to Gear manager. In Gear manager I can't see the apps at all, maybe because I already disconnected the T-mo Gear S.
What am I missing?

How would I do that? The watch itself only has restore to factory settings as an option.
I hope it does not involve installing kies?
BTW, i was on the phone with Samsung for 64 minutes today. After being bounced around in a circle to four different departments, I still don't know how to do it. Presumably a mgr will call me back at some point.
Never talked to such clueless support in my life.

If you reset your device, maybe your phone thinks there is more than one?
This is what worked for me with the two devices I had: I had to either disconnect (Gear Manager) or entire unpair (BT settings of phone) my first device, then the second device could reinstall the apps. I should have updated this post when I figured it out, as I am fuzzy on the install details: I think I had to redownload from the app store.
ETA: Samsung support is completely clueless on this matter: The manager who was supposed to call me back with a solution never did.
Did you check the backup and restore in gear manager inside the settings menu
After 2 days I can say with conviction that the Gear S is a worthy investment for the money.
A little research and I've got it all set up to my needs.
- Getting Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, & text messages, all with the ability to reply
- Getting my Google Now alerts (traffic, weather, etc)
- Streaming Milk Music as standalone
- Opera Mini browser enables me to check/reply/send Gmail, browse/interact with Facebook, Google Search, etc
- Enabled continuous swipe input in the stock keyboard in settings
- Changed my voice-wake to "OK Google"
- Battery easily lasts me almost 2 days entire day with moderate use
I can't think of a single thing that I am disappointed about. And that's saying a lot as I had high expectations.
If you're on the edge of buying this, I say go all in. Speaking of which, I'm on the Edge as well. T-Mobile
I just got mine today and so far I'm loving it. I only wish you had a manual to show me how to set mine up like that especially replying to Facebook messages.

I think the GS is the most amazing piece of personal tech I have ever come across (IT technician by profession).
I used to carry two phones, one personal and one work, which was a pain. Now I carry a Note 4 as my personal and the GS as my work phone. I run the GS in remote connect mode during the week so it acts as a stand alone number, then on weekends I run it in Bluetooth mode as a companion to my Note (I don't take work calls on the w/e). My exchange account syncs mail, contacts, appointments, etc across all my devices. Emailing, appointments, adding contacts, etc I do on my Note which syncs with the GS. Business calls/msgs I take on the GS and private calls/msgs on the Note.
This solves all my problems and works fantastically.
The GS is incredibly versatile and that may be it's biggest fault - too complex for the average user. Just read many of the posts on here and it is clear that people have no idea about it's features and functionality.
I feel same as you guys. I enjoy my phone everyday. Makes life easier for me. Only issue I am having is that if I get a text message and I go to reply the keyboard won't pop up. I have to go and close all apps thrn go back into messaging app then it works. Any ideas?

Congrats to the Gear S and the S6 Edge. May your battery last a long time!
I found Opera in the Samsung app store, that I accessed through Gear Manager. From within Gear Mgr, once connected to your Gear S, you can install all the gear apps you want (not that there are that many). Hope this helps.

I just checked and you are right: Samsung seem to have removed the app, and I can't even find the other browser I saw in there.
It used to be one of the very first apps popping up in the store.
I'm sure we can share the Opera file with you, I just have no clue how it's done.
Damn--looks like I missed it by a matter of DAYS...
Well, at least I know I'm not crazy now. Thanks guys!

Hi, I use the Gear Fit with a Huawei Android mobile. Pairing works fine. Unfortunately the notifications don't appear on the Gear. I turned WhatsApp, SMS, Calendar and phone calls on in the Samsung Gear mobile app, but the only thing that works is showing an incoming phone call...
Any experiences or suggestions?
thx
Try installing Android Wear onto your phone. I've heard it somehow interacts with the phone to send notifications to Tizen devices. S2 and Fit 2. You don't need to open it, just install it.
Did that and it worked... though now the Gear App crashes when I try to open it. but for now I'm happy getting notifications and there are no apps to download anyway...
thx for your suggestion! ?

Glad that worked, but Gear App should not be crashing. You may want to try and reinstall it if you have not. There are a lot of new faces in the Gear store now as well.
Unfortunately it still crashes after clicking the icon. Connection is working though. I uninstalled both Android Wear and the Gear app, cleared cache in the settings but didn't help.

Okay, it could be the phone then. The app doesn't crash on a native Samsung phone from my experience.
if I turn off Bluetooth and disconnect, the app works fine. As soon as I turn it on it crashes so I never get to install apps and watch faces.
maybe it has something to do with my recent Marshmallow update that came in the middle of playing around with the Fit2...
