Just in case anyone else has the same problem I did...
MapMyRide used to work fine on my note3 and gear1, but the last 2 updates on the phone app (3.0.4 and 3.0.3) don't work with the Galaxy Gear. On the watch, it tells me to install mapmyride on the phone. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both on the watch and phone. Rolled back to v2.9.5 on the phone and it's ok again.
I emailed them and this is the reply I got from MapMyRide :
_____________________
The new updates are only compatible with Gear 2. I know this is frustrating, but we were told by Samsung that Gear 1 owners would be upgraded OTA to the Tizen-based Gear 2 OS. As a result, we planned our app upgrades to only support Gear 2.
We understand this upgrade has not happened. We have contacted Samsung to learn more and will update as soon as we find out more.

well this sounds like tizen could be coming soon
So, I updated to Tizen, but now MapMyRide is not showing up in the Samsung store in Gear Manager.
Is anyone else on Tizen able to see the MapMyRide app in the Gear Manager store?
I'm not sure if it's just because of my region (Thailand), although I could download MapMyRide for the Gear on Android...

Hello,
So I am currently developing an app for the original Gear running on Tizen. My app is already submitted to the SamsungApps-store.
I am however not able to use the app on my watch. The app is apparently not "compatible" with the original Gear running Tizen with the Note 3. Before submitting the app, you have to select the compatible devices, but nowhere is the "Galaxy Note 3 - Gear 1.0 / Tizen 1" combination to be found. I can however find the "Galaxy S5 - Gear 1.0 / Tizen 1" on the list.
Now, the original Gear was introduced with the Note 3, which makes it even weirder that it is not compatible. How can I use my own application on my device?
I am also looking for a way to test my applications on an actual device during development. The emulators simply don't work for the purpose of my testings. What to do?
Thank you.
I have a developer certificate for the tizen sdk, I'm running a note 3 with the gear 1. I'd be willing to help test if you like.

When you say "developer certificate", how is that different from the certificates you acquire when your app gets approved for sale? I that case, I have already got one.
I am able to use the watch with the phone, but I am not able to submit any application to the Gear-store with the Note 3 / Gear 1 Tizen - combination.
I don't see why every other phone / watch combination is available, but not the exact one I need.

Endomondo released an update on Google Play today that now supports the Gear Fit. Can someone smarter than me tell me if its possible to make this app recognize the Gear 2 (Neo)?
I read that the just announced version only supports SS Fit. Article also said next release would include SS Gear 2...so you'll have to wait.

I looked but must have missed that article. At least there is still hope. Endomondo is my favorite sports tracker app.
enodmondo released for gear 2 neo
today, i installed endomondo on gear 2 neo. i was waiting for it for 2 months.
it works, but with flaws:
- after the screen turns off, when you flip the hand to turn on the screen, you can only see the watch; to see the running exercise you have to use task manager or to click the app icon again, but this is not ok, requiring another 2-3 steps, not ergonomic
- the heart rate works only 'till the first screen off, after that it remains blocked at the last value - fixable only by restarting the app on the watch (and resetting the exercise)
- the customization is not available for the moment (the phone app has settings for Gear Fit only) - probably it will be solved by the next update
i was about to sell my gear2neo, but this release just changed my mind. i hope they fix the bugs so we can enjoy it.
I assumed you downloaded a new version of endomondo to connect the gear2 neo? I am waiting for that. I was similar to you and ready to sell my gear2 neo, even though I love the hardware. Looking forward to the new update.
Yes, I have 10.3.0 on the phone and the app from the Samsung Gear Apps on the watch.

Someone can share the wgt to install it on a non-samsung phone?
They've updated the phone app to 10.3.1, and now it has support for gear 2/neo and you can customize it now

Onihay:
Do you have a SS phone?
I'm sure a lot do not and we will need to learn how to download the widget and install on the Gear2. I'll research it
I have a Galaxy S4.

Now the problem is that it doesn't work with the Endomondo Pro app. And the free app doesn't allow for custom intervals. ?
Scratch that... The free version is picking up my custom intervals. All is good!
On my Note 3 works fine, but on my K Zoom i can't download/install Endomondo on my Gear2Neo. Is it incompatible?
Any idea how to make it work?
Edited 25.09 - i know solution - need to edit build.prop file and change model from sm-c115 (kzoom) to for example S5 (which is sm-900f)
Regarding the issue of the screen turning off. This is a setting on the Gear 2 neo under the gestures. You can tell it to go to the clock screen or the last viewed screen. I changed my to the last viewed screen and now I can see the app that was running with no issues. I have also seen issues with the heart rate monitor but that is also with the stock exercise app as well.

where have you seen this? becasue i highly doubt that Since they all run Tizen and no android rom has ever been released for them
Either you saw a fake video or just some app for screen mirror of phone
Before the tizen update you could do all this. But now we cant do nothing with them.

not sure
It may have been a fake but I seen too many videos with the other watches running android fully. .hell they even said it like having a mini S5 on your wrist... I cant post an outside link up yet but I can email the link to yall...and let me ask you this do you ever think we can change the tizen os to android
app
there is a app named AppLauncher on gear store that looks like the gear would run android, but it only starts apps on the phone, and No i dont think we will ever have android on the gear
So my dad is thinking about taking my S6 Edge over for me - however I am not sure how to get his Galaxy Gear to sync up with it. Can anyone please let me know what to download to get it to run? I believe it's still running Android.
Hey. He may have to update the Gear to Tizen then just use the Galaxy Apps to download the Gear Manager. That's what I did and all is running smooth.

Interesting! I tried to pair it this morning and it looked like it would work as is - (didn't pair because it would erase watch to factory settings). He swore up and down that it wouldn't work with anything newer than his S4.
Appreciate it!
hey everyone, Just received a samsung galaxy gear smart watch and understand they are not naturally compatible but if anyone knows a work around to get most features to work. I like the style of it being just a plain watch but would love to use it to its fullest. Thanks for any help I get.
Someone has to know something. Still have yet to get gear manager to even install. Every single link on this forum crashes when I open it.
how about NULL?
