hi!
so since i tried nearly anything to get my HTC one m8 to work with my gear fit i decided to write this little tutorial, because i did not find any which fully worked.
the version of zwegnet was kind of working pretty good but i could not reject calls, or send a reject message.and media control was broken too.
the one from koalala gave me a crash every time someone called me and i did not get the calling notification.
then i read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gea...r-fit-samsung-devices-lollipop-t3004234/page5
and on page 4 somebody started talking about a htc one m8. and that was pretty much my salvation!
It is version 1.98 of GFM but it works like butter!
Please test it with other phones running Lollipop and lets see if it works, many guys in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/general/1-117-0306-gear-fit-manager-samsung-t3077473 reported the same issues as i had and now im VERY FINE
WHAT YOU have to do
1. update your samsung gear fit to the LATEST version ( R350XXU0BNG2) with ODIN ( not with a SAMSUNG Galaxy S5 because youll get a different version) FOLLOW THESE STEPS : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759697
2. Take bronxgsi 1.98 version ( THANK YOU BRONXGSI!!) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3154622&d=1423331069
3. UNINSTALL your old version( if you have one) and INSTALL THE APK
4. The rest should be clear, connect to your gear fit, enable notifications in gear fit manager and in your android phone, settings -> notifications-> notification access-> gear fit manager has to be marked!
Now everything should work perfectly! of course anything touchwiz related is not working and some guys say app connect is not working, anyway i am not using such thing.
A BIG THANK YOU goes to :

THX! Big THX guys! This 1.98version is work correctly on my sony Z2 (lollipop 5.0.2)!
Works on Onepuls One Lollipop 5.0.2
Thanks a lot!
How to get it working?
I have Samsung Galaxy SIII (I9300) - Android 5.1.0 but I think that this solution may work for anyone, not only SGS III users (with custom rom).
If you did everythink as well as in the manual and your Gear Fit Manager crashes when it try to connect with your smart brand, you have to do only one thing: edit your build.prop.
Change "ro.product.manufacturer=..." to "ro.product.manufacturer=HTC", than reboot your phone and its done. You have working Gear Fit Manager with non-samsung device (or samsung device with custom rom) on Lollipop.
This idea is not from my head. I read it somewhere here on xda, but I think that its better to have this instructions on this page. Hope it will help you and sorry for my bad english.
works perfect for my lg g3. I just want to make my own watches but I can't see how to crop or do anything.
2 questions: will this same method work for the Samsung Gear 2 and secondly, do I have to be rooted to do this? I already had my Gear 2 connected to my HTC One M8, but as you all know, once it updated to lollipop, it stopped behaving correctly. Thanks in advance.
HTC One M8
Hi
I follwed the steps below, managed to upgrade the firmware (R350OXA0BNG2) using ODIN and that seemed to work fine. Only when I install the apk file do I come across a snag.
1.78 installs OK but crashes when it opens
1.86 does not install
1.98 does not install
I have tried installing them in order but same result
Anyone got any ideas?
In my OnePlus One with CM 5.1.1 works fine! But app connect doesn't work...

Check out "Notifications for Gear S". You can download it from the regular Google Playstore, and it allows you to answer texts/whatsap/viber, etc. I don't know if it will work with your specific phone, but it's only $1.25 I think, and does more than the native notifications do.
ETA: Sammy also offer it in their app store, but the dev says update cycles take much longer there.
Thanks for your fast reply xendula & _Dejan_ ,
I think that on android 5.0 don't work the "Gear Manager" because I follow step by step the instructions and don't work for me. When I open the app Gear Manager, this stopped with an error. I think that this error is produced by Android Lolipoop.
Tomorrow, I try with motorola moto g to view if it is posible work with this smartphone.
Thanks for all !

Yes Im pretty shure that Gear S will not work with 5.0 until some samsung phones will not have it stock and gear manager support it...
On November 2014 I bought Gear S which i paired with my samsung galaxy s3 neo. Sometimes the smart watch stopped to work and I was able to reactivate the Gear S only after resetting it.
On 23 February after experiencing another arrest of the Gear s I downloaded from Galaxy apps the latest version of gear manager (2.2.14110499). After I have installed the gear manager I wasn’t able to reactivate my gear s although it paired with my galaxy S3 neo. In particular the gear manager is not able to download the additional software and I receive the following message: “Unable to connect to the gear. Connection to the gear is not supported by your mobile device…” Moreover just beneath the above message appear a writing during just some seconds stating: “Download url not available, can’t launchPlugin!”
What is not working? My gear s or the new gear manager?
Can someone help me? Thanks

I'm using Android 4.4.2
Hmmm. Well, in order for the S to be compatible with your Samsung phone, you have to have 4.4+, non-mod touchwiz, and the gear manager (and the supporting apps... Sam Store, IAP, etc).
Is it a custom ROM or stock? If stock, when was your last OTA update?

I think I found fraud. For some days now in the official Samsung website (at least in the Italian site) neo s3 is no longer listed among the smart phones compatible with Gear S. Is this behavior legal? I hope Samsung solves this mess as soon as possible.

Problem solved! I followed the procedure reported in another thread :"Tutorial: Install Gear Manager and connect to Non-Samsung Devices" and now all seems to work perfectly. Fortunately XDA exists. Thanks
Hello,
Sorry if this is already answered but i use that feature a lot and I need it.
In call settings you have that option to enable but after you enable it there is no difference.
Please help resolving that problem.
Cheers.
I am using an app called vibrate call pro, it doesn't need root access however adding a command through adb, the developer wrote the detailed steps in the play store description and it works flawlessly
Are you trying to tell me samsung S6 is a lot useless then S4 for example?
If you need to install third party software for function that should be available and working why buy that phone at all.

Also don't exist on Sony Xperia Z3 with Lollipop - might be a Lollipop issue?
Hey Guys,
Any news about if this will be added in the new 5.1.1 update.
I have the update and it works on mine, quite a useful feature
Solution to vibrate when answered s6 or s6 edge
Go to phone - more - settings - calls alerts..
Cheers
Hello, I have a Motorola Turbo. I received the Gear Fit Last week when I was on Android 4.4.4 and the gear fit worked perfectly.
After upgrading my phone to lollipop 5.1 yesterday the gear fit stopped working, the gear manager wouldn't open anymore.
After downloading the lollipop patch offered on here (lollipop-gearfitmanager.apk)
Everything works but the notifications and even when someone is calling it doesn't respond.
My gear manager software does connect and recognize my gear fit though via Bluetooth.
The gear fit manager version is 1.49.0409 off of the apk listed above.
The software version of my gear fit is R350XXU0BNE5
Are there updates that will make this work again as it did before?

There is an open source alternative to the Gear Fit Manager called OpenFit , "with hopes that it will provide most/all of the features provided by the Gear Fit Manager app and possibly even more. That being said, this application is in early development and lacks a lot of features."
But it works on lollipop 5.1 just great. I highly suggest OpenFit, and the developer is very nice and responsive.
Has anyone gotten the Gear Fit to connect to the Nexus 5 on Android 6.0? I've tried everything I can find and nothing is working...
You can use My App Open Fit Until there is an Official Fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-fit/themes-apps/openfit-source-gear-fit-application-t3005697
That's what I've been using, it's GREAT by the way!
Open fit has stopped working for me date and time are not updating
I thought it was just me. Stock, rooted Marshmallow.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Any new progress on this topic?
My gear fit has a default language of Chinese and though open fit allows me to connect my nexus 5 w/ marshmallow, it does not switch the language to English like the official gear fit manager does.

I was thinking I need to add this feature. I will try very hard to get it in, as my last feature.. How do I go about changing the language via Gear Fit Manager? I need to do it to reverse engineer the packet. thanks
I can´t identify Whatsapp
I have installed your app, congratulations, it is very nice but I have serious problems to identify who write me, so I only see the message. Do I need to fix anything in the app? thank you in advance.
