Galaxy Gear and Lg G2

Hello friends,
Just bought a LG G2 and i'm very interested about the Gear is more beautiful and with much options then the Sony SW2.Anyone have a Gear connected to G2 or in future they will can be connected?

I switched from gs4 to LG g2. I love this phone! But I also love my watch. I've been working on it for along time. I got tablet talk on my gear so it will show my text.
Hopefully an update comes soon so we can use gear on any android phone and have everything working! This will do I suppose.

lg g2 and gear
any news to connect with lg g2???

My girl has a Gear and G2, it connects and she can read her call logs and use the media player but doesn't get any notifications. I just installed the gear manager and all the apks associated with it. No issues with connecting to LG G2. Gear is running ML1 update with Null 19 and she is using Gear Manager v1.6.

Yeah, such a shame... I think originally Samsung thought everyone was gonna go nuts over the Gear and that they would sell more phones as a result. But that didn't work out... I think at this point, they should just make it so it works on any phone.

I think you may need the ATN Manager app to get the notifications on the Gear.

Found this on a web:
You can root the Galaxy Gear, you can also install custom ROMs on it. You can then also use it on any android 4.3+ phone.
Check out XDA for all the info.

Only issue right now is that the LG G2 is only on 4.2.2 right now. Until they bring out Kit Kat.
Now I am willing to ROOT/FlASH to whatever rom I need to to make this work (im bored and like the way it looks). I appreciate your swift answer. I have 4 hours to figure this out while Battlefield 4 downloads

Custom rom makes no difference to compatibility
There are several threads here already for non touchwiz rom/phones. Same applies to all of them
Essentially you need gearmanagerstub apk installed in /system/app (check downloads in my sig). Then you get some of the functionality. Pretty much need 4.3 or higher also

My G2 has 4.2.2 (going to install Mahdi ROM tonight)
I've tried to install this apk on my friend HTC One with 4.4, Bluetooth shows connection for few seconds then disconnects right away.
This apk only for G2?

By enabling you mean installed? I downloaded your APK and installed it. Anything else needs to be done?
Thank you for your help!!!
Would love to connect that thing.

You'll need gear manager. To install gear manager, you need to have gearmanagerstub.apk in /system/app on your phone
Once gearmanagerstub is there, install gear manager, then install the extra 21 apks (2 won't install)

When gm runs for the first time, it installs extra apk files automatically. For some reason this only occurs on touchwiz roms, so you'll need to install them manually instead
If you check the link in my sig, you'll be able to download them all. weather and another wont install unless you have the correct touchwiz apps

Yeah I have a G2 and it works fine. I get calls but most other notifications dont come through. Text/email/weather. This may be limited to my 4.2.2 . What ROM are you flashing to? I would like to know how you like it because I may do that as well if flashing to 4.3 gives added functionality with gear manager. Right now im using the oldest version of gear manager.

I have absolutely no idea. I would say some devs are probably looking into it but I don't believe it will be anytime soon. But the good news is I believe there is an awesome Tizen update on its way, not sure neither but that's my guess (that they will port Gear S Tizen to other Gears).
Hope that helps.

There is no option to return it because I bought it from another country.
Do I have any recourse or way to use the device? Even with limited functionality?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Are there are foreseeable plans of a Samsung update to allow pairing with Nexus 5 Lollipop?
Thank you.

Use the gear manager v1.2. Some reported that it works with lollipop. But I have not tried it.

I tried 1.2 but it didn't seem to connect to the Neo. BT connected, but the manager timed out.

Wait for Gear Manager Lollipop edition. Starting this month, it will come to S5, so automaticaly will update Gear Manager. Be patient, it will work soon. Worth a try...

How likely is it? Is using Gear Manager a compromise compared to Android Wear?
Would it be better to just sell the watch and get one that is more compatible?

I tried it on a very early alpha version of lollipop on my Samsung device and it worked. But I hate to burst your bubble, it will be at least another couple of months until it is stable and more generally available. It relies heavy on gear manager which relies on the touchwiz environment. Why, for Pete's sake, this route was chosen is maybe one of Samsung's downfalls. Within two years they will be out of the market if they keep going with their business model, this consumer market does not care, but like you, will remember. Examples of such electronic giants reduced to rubble? Nokia, Nortel, Blackberry
Consumers want stuff to work, simple without all these prerequisites that are in fine print.
Tbh you are best of selling or donate it to a family member with a Samsung phone that has to be running Jellybean 4.3 or KitKat. Preferably a galaxy phone so S4, Note3, ß5 or Note4. Others.... Will not work without breaking their OS
Sad but true

Anyone tried Gear 2 Neo to see if it works with the newly pushed Android 5.0.1 on i9500 and i9506?
I'm curious if it will work from day 1 on i9505 when 5.0.1 will be pushed to these devices.
Thanks!

I have i9506, nordic edition and gear 2 neo, and they work together. Even better than on Kitkat, as s health was not receiving the Gear data for pedometer and such.
Now even that works. My s4 on the otherhand is laggy as hell with 5.0.1 , but that is not the issue here

I've installed i9505 5.0.1 and Samsung Gear doesn't work anymore. When started, it blinks a 1-2 times and crashes silently. I cannot connect to the watch with anything else (Android Wear for ex.) either.
Any ideas?
Later edit: I enabled bluetooth debug in Android Wear and tried several more times to connect through S-Gear and now it seems it connected and is trying to install additional software... hope it works out.
Haha, phone did a factory reset on the watch and now I'm trying again to connect to it .
Later edit: after managing to soft brick my phone, I reinstalled the 5.0.1 and this time, amazingly enough, Samsung Gear worked as it was supposed to so my watch is back to normal functions again.

Hello,
I tried every possible thing I found on the internet. Even went to change the name of the phone and model in /system files, without any success. I did manage, after downgrading to 4.4.4 to connect to the gear 2 neo, but I couldn't use any of it's features except answering the phone via the watch. I'm thinking maybe I can change the ROM of the watch to tizen and then make a connection with android wear. I searched but didn't find anyone who did this on gear 2 neo. Theoretically, it should work. I will post if I manage to do something.
Cheers,
Alex

Answering calls work with Lollipop too,just pair watch in Bluetooth settings. Second... You should install Android rom on watch,not Tizen. There is also Android Wear mod possibility... Roms for Gear 2 should also work on Neo (except camera)

Thank you.
Yes, I can flash gear 2 neo by this guide. But what I need to do with official Samsung Gear Manager App on my smartphone ? It isn't support any Samsung device that have < 1.5 Gb of RAM. Gear Manager doesn't see the watches, but system bluetooth menu successfully create connection from smartphone to watches. How I can solve this issue ?
