[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.

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] Iheartadio won't stay installed!!!

I'm not sure this is in the right forum, but here goes, anyways.
I can't install Iheartradio and keep it installed!
I have my Verizon S5, and have Samsung Gear app installed, too, since I have my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch.
I can install Iheartradio, and open it. Once it opens, it immediately closes, and I get a message from the Samsung Gear app, saying "Failed to install the app." I check "Unknown Sources" in the Gear app settings, but I still get this.
I even restored to factory settings, and, before Samsung Gear was installed, installed Iheartradio successfully. Once the Gear app installed, iheartradio disappeared, and things were back to normal.

I'm having the same issue. Installed while the battery was dead on my G2neo and it iheart worked. When i charged and booted the watch, later i noticed it uninstalled. Tried reinstalling and i get the same message. It must have something to do with the watch. I wish i could tell iheart to ignore the gear app and watchwhen installing. Mine is a att s5 paired with a gear 2 neo.

Same problem here, but with Note3.
Any luck solving it yet?

This thread is a little old but just wanted to let everyone know we'll have this issue corrected in our next update.

Thanks for that update. I am now having that issue myself. Any idea on when your next update will be releasing?

Can't give a specific date as that can be subject to change, but it is fixed in our latest internal build so it should be in your hands soon.

[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

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.

S Health and Gear Manager

I was wondering how would I get s health, gear manager, and smart remote on eclipse ROM? I have a Gear 2 and want to use the s health and gear manager with it.

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.
