There is no Gear manager app in the samsung app , when i try to download from my note 10.1 2014 edition.
I downloaded apk from internet and Gear manager can not communicate with Gear. I couldn't pair them ..
My gear is activated from one demo note 3 at the store I rooted my gear, still i can not connect with my note 10.1 2014.
If i flash my Gear, if i put custom rom, can i use Gear manager ? or at least can i have notifications ? is camera working with custom rom ? I do not interest in to install android apk in my gear. I want to get notification from my tablet and take photos Do you recommend me custom rom ? or i must wait for samsung official upgrade and use just as a watch until that time.
Thanks
If you want to connect ur gear with the note 10.1, you have to reset your gear. I have my gear connected to my S4, then, when i want to connect my gear to the note 10.1 2014, i have to reset the gear to connect. Gear can't connect both devices at the same time.

Hi Guys any of you encountered getting stuck on Samsung Gear manager when tryin to connect to Samsung gear 1? Im on DN3 V5 Rom with Agni Kernel and I have Samsung gear 1 running Tizen. I tried clearing Rom/Cache/Dalvic, reinstall gear manager app a couple of times including from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686. I reset my gear which makes it unusable it can pair through bluetooth.
Before reinstalling gear manager did u try force closing it and reconnecting? That usually fixed it for Me. Worth a try it. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to connect to my phone
Thanks for your suggestion. Ive tried that already but it just stays connecting.My bluetooth detected and paired my Gear with no problem.

Make sure your build.prop DOES NOT claim your device is a Samsung. (and reboot for reverted build.prop to take an action) That fixed an issue for me

I have the same issue with a BQ M5, and One Plus One too. The gear manager was working before with both phones, but when I upgraded gear firmware with first the BQ , gear manager doesn't connect anymore. Then I reset my watch, delete apps, clean mobile... restart... etc with no luck. I try to install old firmware and an old gear manager app (the one that worked before with this phone and gear firmware) and same result, stuck on "connecting...". This has happend with both phones after they both upgraded firmware on the gear s2 using gear manager. I think it's something with the upgrade process, that makes the gear manager unusable on the phone that downloads and performs the upgrade on the watch. I have to initialize the gear with a friends phone so that I can almost see the time...
searched the internet for a solution but same issue is happening already with Samsung phones to some people.
If someone have any clue on how to debug or try to trace this bug, any suggestion will be appreciated.

I tried that. The app had to update, before it would go to the pairing screen.
Yeah I just flashed android wear to solve my problem, I held off as long as I could cause I know the difference in OS. I might have compatibility that teizen didn't have, but now I have the battery drain that comes with wear.

First of all, please excuse my English...
I want to connect my Gear2 Neo to my "Huawei P20 lite" (Android 8 not rooted). Unfortunately, on my search in Google I only found very old instructions, which didn't work for me. I suspect it is because these instructions use an older Android version and the apps included do not work on my device. Unfortunately, I haven't taken care of such things at all in the last few years, but I can still remember that the XDA developers always had a solution for almost everything.
Can you help me out here?

While Tizen is on your watch it is not possible to pair it. You should install android wear to your watch, then you will be able to pair it with your Huawei phone.

I do have WearOS by Google on my Moto G6 Plus and can't connect, I had done almost everything that was recommended but nothing any tips on this one? (Old phone died on me Moto G4 Play and it worked flawlessly)
It has the Android OS 6.0.1 and wear version is 1.5.0.2884951 if that can help you guys at all.
Cheers
Almost same problem here. Have Gear 2 with the latest software on it(the BOA). It won't pair neither with Samsung or other manufacturer. The only time that pairs is when i've tryed with an older version of android wear on my sony z1 but when showing the updating message, it freezes like that. Pls help people!
Hey, I just got an LG Stylo 3 and cant get my gear 2 neo to connect. I can connect via phone bluetooth, but wear cant find phone and the when I try to connect from the watch the watch wont find the phone. I can answer calls through the watch only. I have the old patch for gear version 2.1.14052101. Any help is appreciated.
Any backdoors to get this smart watch to work with newer Samsung phones yet? Or a way to use an older Samsung gear on newer Samsung's without being forced to update? Have a note 9 I want to use this watch with but thus far no luck
i have a Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra

Yeah, there is an old version of Android Wear that works with the Gear 2 Neo. I installed it twice this week. A lot of stuff works, some doesn't.
Some big stuff that works:
• Google Fit App
• Heartbeat
• Pedometer
• Google Authentication
• media controls (I've used Spotify, TuneIn, Google Music), volume control
• notifications, app options (example, delete an email)
• speaker (tested with Google Music → Play on Wear → Sync)
You'll need Samsung Odin, just search and download from whichever site.
I rooted before installing AW. Not sure if I needed to do that but it took 2 minutes.
Go to watch settings and see if you have firmware ending in NE5. If you have any other version, you need a stock NE5 firmware. One of mine had NE5 and one did not. If you have trouble finding a copy that isn't behind a paywall or something else stupid, just send me a message and I'll upload it to Google Drive (I can't post links yet).
Once you have stock NE5 firmware flashed to the device, download the file "R381XXU0BNE5rootfs_root.tar" from this thread and flash it also - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773803
Then download the Android Wear file from this post and flash it last - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73542831&postcount=4
The watch will boot into a menu. Select "reboot" and then "system". Give it a few minutes and you should be good to go.
For each file you need to install (stock NE5, root, AW 1.5), follow these steps.
Flashing firmware with Odin:
1. Connect the device to your PC and open Odin.
2. Hold down the button until the watch restarts (the menu will appear, don't select reboot just keep holding the button).
3. When the logo appears, tap the button 5 times.
4. Tap the button once to select "download" and long press the button. The device should be in "download mode".
5. In Odin, click "AP" and select the firmware file.
6. Verify the default options "auto reboot" and "f. reset time" are enabled. Press start.

I disagree. Biktor's AW ROM worked great on my Neo, for years. I had the best luck using the Beta 3 version.

I reverted my Neo to Tizen from AW, last night and paired it with my Verizon branded, Snapdragon Note 9. No pairing issues. I used the same Samsung Wearable app that I used to pair the Fit2 Pro, Sport and S3. It's seriously old school, compared to the Gear Sport or Gear S3, but works fine.
Can not connect gear 2 neo to huawei p30 android 9.
Even i flash with custom android rom in my gear but no luck can not detect gear on my p30.
Any expert here who can do it..

I just dug out my Neo, and I was all set to enjoying my watch until I ran across Google Wear. I am running on a Nexus 6p and Android Gear worked just fine. Not so much with Google Wear. So where can I find a apk that will put me back to being able to make use of the Neo. Not ready to invest in a new watch, and Tizen is not feasible since I am not playing with a Sumsung phone.
I have a gear 2 neo running Android wear 1.5.0.2884951 and Google play services 8.7.01. It connects nicely for notifications and Spotify/media controls for my LG v40.
Unfortunately only one phone app was able to push it's extension app over to the watch. I have been trying to adb sideload (install not push) some older APK files, that appear to complete 100%, but never showup on the watch.
Any ideas?

For a non- Samsung phone, you should use the Beta 3 version of Biktor's Android Wear ROM.

Good Day, I'm New here
I tried so much to get my Samsung Gear 1 SM-v700 to work with my Huawei p20 pro or my Samsung Tablet s2.
First I tried with the Samsung Wearable app from the Google Play Store, but it can't find the watch and when i trie with NFC it opens the app but closes again.
Second I tried the older Gear Manager with every other plugin and than its saying "Connecting" but it don't connect its stuck in the Connecting screen.
3rd I tried to use the Gear without Phone and install apps on it with ADB but ADB don't find the Watch and there isn't any USB-Debugging Popup showing on my Watch to allow my PC but the Windows Explorer finds the watch and the folder.
Strange is that in the Bootscreen its says Samsung Gear 2 but i know its the Samsung Gear 1.
Nothing Works with my Gear.
Does someone know how to make the Gear work with my Phone or that the watch works without any Phone but the USB debugging works ? and yes USB debugging is enabled but the pc still don't find it. I'm using a Samsung Cable for the Watch.
Hope someone can Help.
Informations:
Samsung Gear: SM-V700 in Gear Infos it's says "SM-R380".
Phone, Huawei p20 Pro with android 8.1
PC has the Samsung Phone Driver and see the gear in Device manager, Samsung Kies (Smart Switsch) sees the Gear too and connect's with it.
I've been trying all morning to connect my s21 ultra to my gear s3...to no luck...I know Samsung has discontinued support for S2 and earlier but I don't remember the S3 being on the list?? Anyone else successfully pair an old S3 to this phone??
Yes, I was immediately successful. You need to factory reset your watch then the S21 should automatically find it and ask you if you want to connect to it. I don't think I even had to manually go into the app. It just finds it and works. I have both an S3 and the Galaxy Watch and both connected perfectly fine.
If you use Android 11 and the Duraspeed is available, try disabling Duraspeed.
I noticed that duraspeed caused disconnections between my phone and my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier or if I was away from my phone, my watch would disconnect and never reconnect.
Disabling Duraspeed solved the problem.
(Note : I tried disabling Duraspeed for anything related to my watch or Samsung, but this did not work)
