Gear S plugin keeps crashing when connecting to smartwatch - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

No matter if I wipe cache / factory reset the S9+ (Exynos with firmware ITV) or if I uninstall / install the Gear S plugin APK it just keeps crashing and crashing as soon as I try to pair my Gear S3 Frontier.
Tried also install a previous version of the plugin APK with same result...
Please note that all that crap wasn't happening with my previous S8+.
Please tell me what on Earth do I have to do to get the whole stuff working?

Have you tried resetting the Gear S3?

I won't have my phone until the end of this week so I can't connect it to my S3 until then.

Thanks however in the meantime I found out that the cause was Block-This (Ad blocker app) and the only temporary solution is to uninstall it.
Moderators might lock this thread if wanted so that others can read it.

Just receive my S9+ today. Samsung Pay will not work with the Gear S3 because the Gear S Plugin won't install on the Galaxy S9. Great job Samsung, I mean really, do they even test this stuff?

Had the same issue between my Gear S3 & Unlocked GS9+. I fixed it by factory resetting the Gear.

Same problem.
I don't use that ad blocker.
Any ideas what might be the cause?

Same problem.
S3 Classic crashes as soon as I try to pair with my Pixel 2 Running Android P beta 4.
So I can't even get the watch started.. am stuck on paoring screen.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes, the Gear app/plug in isn't compatible with P. Someone modified the app to work with it. I was able to use it with Pixel 2 XL on P beta. I don't have a link so you'll have to Google it.

I had a similar problem. The issue got solved by re installing the ROM on my S8.

I know it can be frustrating. I was on the verge of returning the gear S3.

Sleep Genius for Gear Fit - APK wanted!

hey all,
so Im after the APK file for Sleep Genius for Gear Fit.
Ive searched my sweet a$$ for it, all possible downloads of it re-direct to the Play store, but Play wont let me download it
so far ive not found any APK for direct download, figured Id try here seeing as ive scored many great APKs from this site in the past....
so, anyone have this?? pretty please?
Use Bluestack on PC to get the apk.
I'm searching for this apk, too. Hope someone can upload it. Regards

umm, doesnt that Bluestack go off apps you already have???
this is an app that the store wont allow me to download, so I want the APK to sideload
No, Bluestack has the normal Play Store, so you can download the app and then you can export the apk with es file manager to your documents.
Just use Google there are 100000 tutorials for that.
Did it like GamingWiidesire mentioned. Thanx for the solution [emoji6]

trying on the bluestack, but there I find SLeep Genius, but not Sleep Genius for Gear Fit .... WTF
ahhh I see, I had Bluestacks on my pc some time ago,but didnt really use it much & uninstalled it.
since I posted, Ive managed to get this APK from a friend. Seems the APP is available for Galaxy S5 owners, so was able to get it via an S5 emulator.
So I have the app installed & its working perfectly on my Note 2 + GearFit so far
Claudioita - will PM you....

If you change build.prop to be identified as Galaxy S5, you can download this app via Play Store.

Just like in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718949, point about Get Fit Apps Working (Optional). But for me to get it work o set name and device to SM-N900S (no "N" in description).
Requires root, you can find build.prop editors in Play Store. Can be undone, I guess it can has some consequences I'm not aware of right now.

Well yes, the phone has to be connected to Bluetooth to use any app. That's how it works.
There is no option for Gear fit in the app itself. That's just how it is, but it works.
You just start the app on your phone and it'll pop up instantly on the Gear Fit. You can set the app to do what you want it to on the phone
Or
On the Gear Fit, go into 'app connect', and sleep genius is there and will star & you can set it to what you want.
But again, if Bluetooth is off - it won't work. That goes for all apps made for it to use via the phone.
I leave my phone charging overnight with Bluetooth on each night to use Sleep Genius, that way it's still fully charged in the Morninglike usual.

Well this app's apk is the exact one from the play store - made for Samsung/GearFit. its not modified in any way to work with other phones.
if people with non-samsung phones get this to work - thats good luck
I have a samsung, Note II & it works perfect.
If you want it to work on some other phone, thats on you to figure out. I simply shared the std apk file, good luck.
no work link for apk, please any mirror

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.

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?

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 was able to get it to work and get notifications, but S-Health wouldn't work. Funny though because it works on non Samsung phones. I've been experimenting with Open Fit, but so far, I'm not happy with it.
