[Q] Non-Samsung phone limitations?

Anyone not using a Samsung phone with the Gear S? What certain limitations have you encountered and what phone do you have?
I have an HTC M8 so I'm hoping I won't be too limited to anything.
Someone posted about that on g+. He was able to get it to work with his moto X but said it was a pain to do. The setup process seems to be a big challenge.

If you are up to the challenge just follow the same method used to get the Gear Manager for the Gear 2 onto your M8. Then take it from there and see what happens.

So I went and picked up a new black Samsung Gear S today at the local ATT store. they only had one in stock and ordering through best buy produced a shipping date of March 2015.... I know its off subject but I havent kept up on the release and was wondering if it is fully released yet?
But anyway... Back to the topic.....
So like I said I just got it today and havent had much time to mess with it but I havent been able to get any of the paired functions to work with my M8. I also have a Gear 2 and a Gear Live. The Gear 2 I have working with a Gear Manager APK and like most with non Samsung devices, everything pretty much works with the exception of the S-Voice, weather. and any third party apps as I have no access to a samsung phone whatsoever..... Last night though through alot of reading I was able to successfully start installing new watch faces and some third party apps through the Tizen Wearables SDK using .wgt files... This is on the Gear 2 however and I was able to pair that one using the Gear Manager. The Gear S.. even though I am doing the same process to try to pair it I cant for the life of me get it to pair. The bluetooth connects and then it says connecting in the GManager app and just gets stuck there.. Something else that struck me as odd, after the first time you connect to gear manager we know of course it will automaticallys start asling to install something like 10 - 15 apps , I guess they are plug ins of some sort. Well when I connected the gear 2 it installed one called "Gear 2 plugin".... Now today when I tried to connect the Gear S. it installs the Gear 1 plugin. Anyone know if that sounds right?
So I too am constantly looking for info to get more functionality out of the Gear watches without going to a touchwiz POS phone, if you or anyone else has anything to share it would be greatly appreciated. I am also now looking for some sort of dump or repo so to speak, just an archive really of .wgt files so that i can have a bigger collection of standalone apps that I am able to install because that is the only way I know how to be able to add any appps to the Tizen watches so far. If anyone knows a better way to get to customize more please let me know. I have to be missingsomething..... or alot of things.... I read somewhere today that Samsung was claiming that the Gear S would have one thousand third party apps available at the time of launch.... I have yet to find one....

Well it definitely doesn't have what's app pre installed on it. There really isn't much on it for apps. Only new ones from gear 2 I think is that Nike health app like on the iPods a few years ago (not sure if they still have that on iPod) and some thing called"milk", I believe it's something for digital music like Pandora perhaps, email app and a messaging app... Oh and nav app. So did you want the wgt files so you could side load the faces and the few apps igot? They have to be installed via sdb unfortunately.... Unless you know aa better way?

I have the same problem. I've reinstalled just about everything, tried an older version of Gear Manager, all to no avail. I am running a custom/rooted ROM on my S4, so perhaps that is an issue? I don't have another stock phone I can check with.

Same here. In fact I scrubbed my phone and did a clean install of the ROM & all apps thinking it might help, but it made no difference at all. Samsung makes some amazing hardware, but their software architecture can be a real mess. Not only failing, but giving no real recourse or explanation, or alternate procedure. Sigh.
The gear app store is a hit and miss I get the same errors at times they need to make more apps for the Gear S instead of Rebranding the Gear 2 apps.

Gear Fit Won't Connect To Galaxy S6 After Successful Pairing

Gear Fit won't connect to Galaxy S6 after successful pairing
Hoping for some help after talking to useless Samsung chat support. I've got a Gear Fit that won't connect to my S6. It connects just fine to a friend's phone. Keis3 says it has the latest firmware. I've tried downloading the Gear Fit Manager a few different ways and I always get the same response: after confirming the pass key I am told "Failed to connect your Gear Fit. Try to connect via Gear Fit Manager. Refer to the manual for more information." Any tips? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like a solution may be odindownload.com and flashing the Fit with the r350xxu0bnd8 firmware? Is this still the best option?

Installing the previous version of the Manager software did the trick. Wow, thank you, this forum is great. :laugh:
Where did you find the pervious version? Also after getting it to work did your fit upgrade to the latest firmware after you upgraded Gear Fit manager?

In this thread under "Download" -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2719278
Nothing updated after I reverted the previous version (already had the latest firmware). Occasionally my phone asks me to update the manager and I hit cancel.
Is there a way to stop the update prompt, because I've had this problem on my Note 4.
Keeps asking me to update gear fit manager, but it won't actually update. Tried everything even emailed shamsung and they were no help at all.

That sure would be nice, but judging from other discussions on here, I don't think so.
That's what samsung told me that it's not possible, I read somewhere that if rooted you can, but it removes the gear fit notification icon and disables notification from fit to phone, for example goals and achievements etc...

Notification content missing on Gear Fit?

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has had a similar issue, or maybe someone has a solution to my problem?
When I receive a notification on Gear Fit (WhatsApp, EvolveSMS, etc) I cannot see the content of the notification. It displays a placeholder message "For details, view this notification on yoru mobile device". With WhatsApp that's all I get. with EvolveSMS I get the message content in header and the the placeholder message udnerneath.
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F
Android 5.1.1 G920FXXU3COI9 (XtreStoLite Deo Mod v2.4)
Gear Fit Manager v. 1.127.0827
Gear Fit software v. R350XXU0BOA2
This started only a few days ago (somewhere between 15th and 19th Oct). I think Gear Fit Manager updated in those days.
Any suggestuions, welcome!
Thanks

Same issue here. I have S6 and it also started recently. Unfortunately, I don't know how to solve it.
Same problem.
Galaxy s4 SGH-M919
Android 4.4.4 KitKat
Just bought it today, No notification content from QK SMS, Netease Mail, and Facebook Lite
Is it because of the newest Gear Fit Manager?
I'm going to downgrade and check.
I managed to solve it. I uninstaled the Gear Fit manager and download it again from Samsung Apps. Now I can see full content of notification that Gear Fit show on it's screen.
I can confirm, it works

@Ninolina & @Qiangong2 : I tried that, but it's still the same. Did you have to also unpair Gear Fit and initialise it?

I can't remember exactly but you should definitely try that too if only new install didn't work. I hope you'll solve it. Let us know if that worked.

Unpaired and still doesn't work.
How about the Gear Fit installer? I'm trying to find out if I can reinstall it if I uninstall? Maybe just a data wipe? Will report back. Thanks for help.

So, you didn't totally uninstalled it and then made new installation? Only data wipe didn't worked for me. I previously wrote that I first uninstalled it and then installed it. You can find new file in Samsung Apps on your phone. Just in there and search for Gear Fit installer.

I uninstalled Gear Fit Manager and reinstalled from Samsung Apps. (didn't work)
Unpaired Gear Fit and reset, paired again (didn't work)
Wiped data on Gear Fit Installer, uninstalled and reinstalled Gear Fit Manager, reset and paired Gear Fit (didn't work).
I wonder what else is there that I can do?

Well, we even use the same ROM. Did you flashed Aroma Add-on for the ROM? There is an option for Gear Fit support. I did flash that too. Maybe you can try reflashing only Add-on and you only choose that option. All others you can leave unchecked. Then you repeat uninstalling and installing the Gear Fit Manager again.
I really hope this will work.

I don't think the modded firmware causes any issues. @Ninolina has the same firmware and it is a deflated Samsung stock rom.
I'll unpair again. Thanks.

Gear s fully functioning on the V10?

Ok. So I found a tutorial in gear s forum to get full functionality of gear s on any Android. However I can't get it to work on the v10. I get the apps installed and it saw my my gear and made it reset but then once reboots and tries to go in and connect it just loops on the "connecting to gear" screen.
Has anyone gotten the gear s to pair and have full function? I know I can bypass the watch part and just connect Bluetooth but you lose so much of the reason of having the gear s.
Thanks

Hm, I have a Gear S Classic and it automatically downloaded all the required Samsung software and everything works just fine. There are even apps to purchase and it downloads an S Health version even. I wish they would do the same for my other Gear watches. This is with an LG V10
