Hi Guys, I want to ask you for your help.
I have a gear fit and I have been trying to pair it with my note 4 with lollipop. At first I thought It was the note 4 that had problems but then I tried a galaxy s4 and galaxy s4 active, both with lollipop and could not get my gear fit to pair.
I downloaded the patched gear fit manager for lollipop and got it to work but not as desired as gear fit wont sync with S HEALTH or endomondo, also the gear fit manager is an old version. I have tried all new versions of gear fit manager but all of them get stuck in "connecting to gear fit" and then nothing happens it goes back to search a device.
I don't know what else to do, please help me.
Regards.
Hi linkultima,
My English is bad, bud try you how you can connect the note 4 with gear fit.
Go to the s-health app in Note 4
Klick top right on more
Klick accessories
Then search gear fit there
Klick gear fit
Then Klick top right register.
I think then will note 4 download the gear manager for Note4 .
And connect them with the gear fit.
I hope I help you and excuse me for my bad English.

Hi, recently I bought a gear fit not knowing they are only supported on Samsung devices.
After a bit of searching I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949
It works great on my MT2 L03, its missing some features but that might be fixed later. Also the Fit can be updated to the newest firmware by connecting it to a Samsung device. This will not break compatibility.
I thought the Mate 2 doesn't have NFC? I got the gear 1 and have been putting a lot of thought into getting this phone aswell

I haven't been paying much attention to the watches, but don't they connect to the phone via Bluetooth?
My gear fit is Bluetooth, I didn't know the gear 1 was NFC
I know it has been talked about alot before but I can only find really old topics on this so surely someone has come up with some software by now.
I have a galaxy s5 and a new oculus gear vr. Now I can get the phone to fit into the headset and run after market apps* (obviously the buttons on the headset don't work) but they work great obviously not as good as the galaxy s7 and the genuine app for the headset.
Surly someone had gotten the genuine "oculus gear vr" app to work on the galaxy s5??? as far as I know my issue is only software restricted? (correct me if I'm wrong) as the only thing that links the phone to the headset is the micro usb which does fit into the galaxy s5 good enough to work.
I can't find the genuine "oculus gear vr" software on the play store but does anyone know where I can I purchase the software from?
Cheers guys
I'm not sure 100% but the software is phone firmware dependent. It has a lot of services etc. so I think that's the case.
Someone may be able to port it, but not sure it would be an easy task.

No, that's impossible. You can never pair your Gear S with non-samsung phone. Gear S2 or S3 could be ok.

Hello all,
I am about to pick up a gear fit and looking through the forums and also having lots of experience with the original galaxy gear I wanted to share some thoughts with the experts.
Firstly looking at the fit 2 it definitely does support android 6.0 and non Samsung devices. But one main difference is that there is no Gear fit manager but a Gear Manager unified for all devices. ( all devices being Gear S, S2 and fit2)
Actually my LG device (6.0) can see and download the latest gear manager just fine, but don't have the gear fit yet to test.
Now the way it works is by using a plugin for the fit 2 which is also available on the store. So my idea is, is there or was there a Gear fit plugin that if we load could work with the latest gear manager which is android 6.0 and non-Samsung compatible? Or could we get the fit 2 plugin to work on our device?
Just stating my thoughts hopefully not just wasting your time.

Gear fit 2
I have a gear fit 2 and a Motorola droid turbo 2 (on 6.0) and they work perfectly together. All I did was download the Samsung gear app from the play store and the other apps it said it needed. What I'm looking to try and do is find non Samsung store apps I can put on the watch, like a weather app would be great.
If I am not mistaken all new samsung gears run the Tizen OS which maybe makes the compartibility with other devices and android 6.0 easier. The original GearFit runs RTOS which could be the reason it was left out, maybe?
I never followed how good it selled but I am guessing not that good since it was only usuable with samsung mobiles which makes the target group smaller. Probably they don't even care, for the ones that bought it or would be now willing to buy it, in order to spend resources to either update the OS on the original GearFit to make it compartible with the Gear Manager or to update the old GearFit Manager to make it compartible with newer android versions.
Theoritically it would be possible patching the new Gear Manager somehow for Gear Fit. But I don't know if anyone would think the trouble and work doing it is worthwhile..
So I have 2 Gear S's (white variant and black variant) and I want to be able to connect them at different times to my Note 5. I can pair and connect the first one and functionality via bluetooth is perfect. When I go to connect the second one, Gear Manager wants me to perform a factory reset to the second watch. I've repeated this pairing/connecting process numerous times and it results in the same behavior.
Thoughts and thanks,
Coz
