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.

Hello, i have exactly the same problem. Did you solve it ?

Hi all
I got an S4 (GT-I9505) running cyanogenmod 11.0.
I just bought the Galaxy Gear 2 Neo. I managed to install the Gear Manager and got the watch paired. I can also see it under bluetooth devices, also paired in here.
The gear manager is now trying to make a connection to the gear. Its just trying forever. Noting happens.
Any suggestions?
Have you considered that maybe you need a Touchwiz Rom, stock or not, to connect? Just a guess. Congrats

Didn't you learn anything on XDA?
Hi
My Gear 1 is still on Stock and I have just read the Tizen update is available so am curious how I will beneifit from either?
Is Tizen available via Bluetooth when connected to the Phone
Cheers
Lee
So I proceeded to Suck n See this Tizen on my Gear 1 and so far its not working,
I managed to update the watch, also updated Gear Manager
One slight bug on the Android version was it would not connect to the Watch unless I connected via the Watch.....
I see Gear (1FA2) in Paired devices, and select...Connecting to Gear then displays...for like 5 minutes and say Failed to connect...It is now doing it on this Tizen too and the Watch will not start until first connected to Gear Manager
Running Android 4.2.2 - <<<<< If I update to CM11 or whichever is the latest, can I still have full functionality of this Watch, I heard a while back I can only use a Touchwiz ROM
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers
Lee
I know this might be a lost cause but I will ask anyway. I had my watch and loved it(still do) but since getting the Pixel XL I have had issues. These are the steps I have taken so far.
1. turned both watch and phone on and turned on bluetooth
2. watch connected to phone and reset itself
3. connected to phone via bluetooth and got the passkey (stated it would be phone audio only)
4 launched the gear manager and it tried to find it but would not (even though the bluetooth did)
5. downloaded the XDA gear manager and installed it on the phone but it force closes each time.
So anyone else with similar issue? I suspect it is the app version not being for android 7.1 or the fact the watch is no longer compatible with other devices anymore (hopefully not).
Any help is greatly appreciated on this subject.
Thank you All.
I have a friend who is having the same issue, Gear 2 on the Pixel XL. We put the app on the phone, reset the watch, but I can't connect the two. Bluetooth connection seems to work, but the app doesn't pick up where it needs to in order to complete the process. He came from a Note 4 (with a Note7 in between). I have an S2 watch I need to try this on as well, but I figure I'll likely have the same issue. Eagerly awaiting an update to fix this!

I would like to know if there's a solution to this as well. I upgraded from a Note 4 and haven't had any luck getting my Neo to show up in Gear Manager for my LG V20.
I came from an S4 and had the exact same issue as stated. It will connect through bluetooth devices, but the Gear Manager app refuses to find or acknowledge it exists.
I suggest doing a factory reset. I have to do a reset every time I flash a new rom on my phone. I have to do this on both the tizen rom and android wear.
Has anyone figured out how to connect pixel XL to the gear neo 2? I am having the same problem. Can connect to watch with Bluetooth, but will not connect through the app.
Thanks for any help.
have any of you with this problem flashed android wear to the gear 2 neo? i use it as a daily driver and its very stable, might be the solution for your issues
Had it but lost it
I had my pixel XL connect to a flashed gear2 Neo
I reset my phone and know no matter what I try it won't connect this happened at the same time they updated Android Wear. W os . I installed an old version of Android Wear could not connect I flashed different roms
I'm giving up
Please comment if you can't connect gear 2 neo to phone any thanks!!
got a Samsung J3 Luna pro(SM-S327VL) the other day, cant connect gear 2 neo to it, it will pair Bluetooth, but when you start to connect through gear manager you get a "check if phone is compatible or if gear manager needs to be updated" or "failure to download"

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

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.
