[Q] Gear Fit / Note 3

I bought a Gear Fit from unlocked-mobiles.com
In general I like it. Is comfortable to wear, and more practical than my original Galaxy Gear.
On the Samsung website it says it is compatible with Note 3.
When I go to the website to download the manager software it says it is not compatible with my device and will not let me download anything.
I have downloaded the manager from the S5 threads, and S5 S-Health app.
The pedometer does not sync with the S-Health software. Any ideas?
I am sure when it is officially launched all will come available.

Release date is April 11. Software might be updated by then.

Here's a couple of fixes. The first one worked for me. Really love the screen on this thing

Samsung Press Release says: All 2nd generation Gear accessories must be used with the Galaxy S5 or later devices. Please upgrade your obsolete Note 3. And by the way, none of the data from the Note 3 with migrate either, usability doesn't help our bottom lines.

Don't worry, klau1 talking rubbish, compatible with at least 15 phones. Working on my Note 2 perfectly even with the old leaked version.

I was joking about this specifically based on what they did with S-Health and S-Note
People who upgraded either of those could not migrate their data across. There are threads littered on XDA here full of complaints about this.

I have one and am using with my Note 3. To get it to sync you need to uninstal S Health as that seems to be used with the S5. Then download and install Fitness with Gear from the Samsung Apps. Then it should sync for you.

I've installed the above Gear Manager, used that to install S Health, also installed Gear for Fit or whatever it is called.
I connect my Gear Fit with Gear Manager, open S Health and go to 'My accessories', it searches but can't find the Gear Fit... that Gear Manager is already connected to?
If in S Health I go to 'Compatible accessories' and select Gear Fit, it wants to disconnect my Gear Fit to open Gear Manager?
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks.

[Q] S Health

Does anyone know where I can get a S Health apk for my Galaxy Tab 4 8"?
I have a gear fit and want to monitor everything on my tablet but Samsung doesn't support the Tab 4 with this app for some stupid reason.
If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great.

I just made one that should install like a normal app try it and tell me if it works

Yeah its working

Excellent man. Thanks so much. The app installs flawlessly.
Now I just have to figure out why S Health doesn't recognize the Gear Fit watch. They make a watch for fitness but don't make it compatible with their fitness software. I love Samsung hardware, but their software guys are absolute morons.

Have you had any luck getting the Gear Fit sync'ed with S Health on your Tab 4? I have a Tab 4.7.0 and a Gear Fit & I am desperately wanting to get the two working together. Does the Gear Fit Manager version matter at all?
I couldn't agree with you more about Samsung hardware and software. Sloppy software integration for their otherwise solid hardware.
I'll try the apk on my Tab 4.7.0 and reply with results later.
Thanks..

Following up on installing S Health on my Galaxy Tab 4..7.0
The apk installed without any issue, but could not detect the Gear Fit. This version of S Health was pre Gear Fit (2.5.4.046) so I'm not sure it would be compatible with the Gear Fit to begin with. I'll try others.
On a side note, I can verify that versions 1.70 and 1.98 of the Gear Fit Manager successfully worked with the Galaxy Tab 4.7.0
I also was able to successfully install the Fitness with Gear app, but the app would not sync with the Gear Fit.
I'll keep on this. If anyone has any updates, please post.
Thanks

Gear Fit Working with Galaxy Tab 4.7.0!
Wonderful News to report!
I have successfully installed S Health on my Galaxy Tab 4.7.0 (not rooted) and it has successfully sync'ed with my Gear Fit! I did encounter a couple of crashes with the app, but so far, all seems to be working.
I'm very excited to finally see the S Health app running on my Tab and working with the Gear Fit.
I have some notes on the process I followed and apk files I installed. I will share here after I get some sleep. I hope this gives some hope to others who are looking to connect their Gear Fit to a non smartphone device.
Cheers!

Hey, did you manage to get all the sleep you needed in the meanwhile?
I'm kinda hoping to get it up and running as well, but no success up to now...

I can never get enough sleep!!!
I don't have my notes with me, but if my memory is correct, I believe I installed the Gear with Fitness app from Aptoide on my Galaxy Tab. The Gear with Fitness app will not sync with the Gear Fit. From within the Gear with Fitness app, I selected the 'Check for updates' option which then ran and updated Gear with Fitness to S Health (version 3.5.1.0696).
I restarted the tablet and the Gear Fit. The Gear Fit paired with the Tablet right away. I then opened the S Health app, and selected the Gear Fit from the Accessories list. It auto-sync'ed with no problem.
It's important to note that the S Health app crashed when I updated my personal profile with my height, weight and gender settings. But the changes did save when I re-opened the app. It continues to sync, automatically and manually with no crashes since.
Perhaps, if the update process does not work for you, can can run the S Health install directly instead of upgrade from Fitness with Gear:

Here's the Fitness with Gear download also:

Let me know if you have success with it.

Help Pairing the OUKITEL A28

Ok so I am no dummy. I have an LG G Watch on my LG G4. I am having a problem pairing *COMPLETELY* my Oukitel A28 with the MediaTek Smart app.
I tried this on the LG G4 and LG G2 (thinking because I have my LG G Watch/G4 might be causing the problem). I paired the phone. It is connected. It synced the contacts. I downloaded the App and went through the motions of selecting notification access and bla bla bla.
But the App never connects. All I see is "connecting..." I deleted the BT profile and tried to load this up multiple ways but all end in the same result.
The weird thing is calls and some things actually go through the watch. I can play music and make/take calls. But all of the other features like Messaging and stuff just says "Pair phone first".
I am not sure exactly what is going on. There are 2 A28 devices found on the phones. Both are paired. Seems I am missing something. I tried this on 2 phones with the same results.

Hi Player911,
I was in your same shoes just this morning but Google helped out.
You may follow the step-by-step guide for the watch at China Gadgets Reviews.
All the credit goes to Stefan Danut.:highfive:
After following these steps, I was able to explore 100% of the watch's functionalities. It is definitely one of the best clones out there.
Hope it helps.

Hi Kempest,
Can you post a link to the instructions you are referring to? I'm having the exact same problem with my A28.

Pairing the A28
Just got mine today (A28) and experienced the same problems.
Solution: Install an updated Mediatek App.
I found the update here: Google Chinagadgetsreviews. Search for A28 hands on first impressions. Sorry, but XDA won't let me post the link!
Look for this text
You can also download the latest version v.2015.07.06 of MediaTekSmartDevice.apk & speechengine.apk from here or from here (12 MB)
The "here" and "here" are links. I clicked on the second (using PC) and downloaded the newer App (RAR Format). Unzipped the RAR and then I copied it to my Android and installed.

Hi,
I have a problem installing the mediatek smart device apk on my oneplus running mokee rom. I was able to download the newest version but get a message "app not installed" every time I try installing it. Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks.

Clarification
After downloading the APK file, you must go to your downloads and run the file to install.

Cool suggestions. I just installed the app from the play store as the built in scanner barcode lead me to a chinese website where the Android version was not loading the page properly.
Kind of silly that the newest working app is out there but the play store has a broken non working version. One would think that would be high priority.

Clarification 2
I installed the PlayStore version first, only to find that it wouldn't function correctly. I used a PC to download the newer version, in zipped and transferred it to the Android. Once on the Android, I just had to execute the APK file. Note my instructions of 11/08/2015.

I have the oukitel a28 aswell, and stand alone i have to say its a pretty good watch for the price. BUT i cant get it to sync to healthkit on my iphone running ios 8.4, anyone else using this watch with iphone?, i can pair it as headset and notifications, but what i really bought it for was the health stats. Ive also read somewhere about some other sync app on the phone that would work with mediatek chip devices, but cant seem to find it again? suggestions please, i know about Mediatek smartdevice and Fundo wear, none of those will sync with ios healthkit..

Hello there, thanks for the suggestion, thats the QR-code link, have tried both fundo wear and the mediatek sync app, none of those sync the health stats, and fundo's servers are very slow and fail most of the times. Such a shame with the sync, when the watch seems great otherwise.

Samsung gear Manager . app not working

I have a T-Mobile s7 edge not rooted ( factory fresh ) the Samsung gear apk was pre installed on the phone when I got it .. I just updated it when i set up my Gear S watch to it.the watch works fine . no problems.. but when I open the app to use the ( home screen styler ).. I have a issue .. From the home screen of the app if I press the home screen styler or any of the links in the app.. They open then bounce back to the home screen again.. All of the links only open for about a second then back to the home screen.. rendering the app useless.. I have uninstalled the APK and reinstalled it ..I have cleared the cache.. from the app and from the phone in recovery . I even tried unpairing the Gear S to see if it's a compatibility issue.. but nothing.. I'm at a loss if anyone had this problem and knows how to fix... please help

Same Issue
I am having the SAME issue, When i first purchased the products (together) they worked seamlessly together. However, a couple of weeks later there was an update to the Gear Manager and this issue began. In the main screen of the Samsung Gear Manager you have:
Watch Faces
Notifications
Apps Layout
Send Content to Gear
Settings
Find my Gear
After the update the only option that functions is the "Send Content to Gear". All of the other options, when selected, open for about 1-2 seconds and then immediately revert back to the main screen. This MUST be an issue with the app as the phone still connects to the watch via BT and i can still install apps to the watch from the Samsung Galaxy Apps app. I still get text notifications, etc. on my watch, from the phone...so this is NOT a connectivity issue. In addition, i can still install new watch faces, etc. but cannot organize anything or change any of the settings on the watch from the Gear Manager app, only what i can do from the watch itself, which accounts for only a small portion of what can be done on the Gear Manager app...
I have factory reset the phone, and watch multiple times to no avail... I have also tried to uninstall the Gear Manager app, however it is a native app and CANNOT be uninstalled, only disabled.
I have contacted Samsung who were unable to help...they want me to send the devices out for "repair" even though i am 99.999999% sure this is an issue with the app...not the devices. Samsung says to contact Verizon (where i purchased the product from" and Verizon says to contact Samsung because it is a Samsung product and app... This is ridiculous to say the least. I dropped about $1000 on the two devices that are supposed to work seamlessly...
Are there any more reports of this issue?

I am having this same exact issue with My Gear S2 and Motorola Droid Turbo 2.

Gear S3 compatibility

Just picked up an Essential yesterday. Someone on Reddit claimed that most recent OTA fixed Gear S3 compatibility. This is only partially true. Here's what I've found:
Working:
-installing apps
-installing 3rd party watch faces
-updating watch firmware
-connect via Bluetooth
Workarounds:
-Samsung pay - install this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Samsung+pay+gear
-No notifications - install this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Gear+plugin
Everything works now, enjoy guys

have you received every update? Including the latest build and the essential apps from the play store??
I have the Fit2, notifications always worked for me, but installed apps and watchfaces started working last week

That's odd, I receive notifications on my S3 just fine. Samsung Pay still crashes for me as well.

Yeah, from what I've read Samsung Pay is the only thing not working still.

Sounding better. I saw somewhere the S3 was not working so I have not even tried mine yet. Using my Fossil Q Marshall at the moment. I really miss the screen on the S3.

I'll try factory resetting my gear S3 to see if I can get notifications working. Tried playing with settings, but couldn't get it working. Will report back later tonight.

Notifications definitely do not work on the gear S3. Factory reset the gear S3 and still no notifications at all. Have fingerprint gestures, so definitely on latest update.
Update: got it working! Downloaded the latest Gear Services apk from apkmirror and everything works! I installed Samsung pay apk from apkmirror and that works too! Everything works, woo!

The links don't work for me did anything change?

You can search and they show up on apkmirror. Also for the brave you can get text messaging to work with any text app on your phone on the S3. It takes a bit of work but I did it this morning and it works. You have to install Tizen studio and an apk on your phone. The apk for the phone is in the thread so you do not have to build it with android studio though. I used a guide in the thread for the pixel to get it to work for me.

Thanks for this! Samsung pay works great now. Haven't tested it on a purchase, but was able to install, add my cards, access it on my S3, and initiate the payment process!

is there a way to get Samsung Messaging and Notes?

S3 Gear Currently Incompatible With Android 9.0
Samsung is working on a solution, but the S3 Gear currently lacks the ability to connect to any device running Android 9.0. In the meantime, I simply connected my S3 Gear to my old S7 Edge phone & set up all the stand alone features before officially retiring the phone. Until Samsung fixes the problem, I'm able to use Samsung Pay, make calls/sms (assuming you have separate line setup), and use basic watch functionality without any problems.
Samsung, hurry up and fix Android 9 break!

I'm having trouble connecting Gear Fit 2 Pro on Android Pie. I tried Gear Wearable & Fit2 Pro plugin but still not working. Any help?

I don't use my watch for "a lot". Mostly notifications. I've never used S-voice, although it does work and I have used it to talk on the phone once. Haven't used Samsung pay but it is set up. Guess I'll have to try it.

Anyone else not able to get Samsung health to recognize the watch and capture it's steps?

here works all fine on stock pie rom also on cm pie ROMs I had np with gear sport etc

Thanks for this.. btw the old Pay link is not working.. Now the app is called "Samsung Pay (Watch Plugin)" https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-pay-watch-plug-in/
---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------
After installing Pay plugin, I was able to add the cards, but once I closed the app, I could not find the app anywhere? Can someone please help me how to get this app show up inside Samsung wearable? I am using PH1 with latest Pie release. Samsung customer care basically said "Your phone is not officially supported for Pay".
