Do you have a Samsung phone? If not, did you install the actual Samsung apps? I believe there is one that has been modded to work with non Samsung phones.
Yeah. I'm running the official gear manager on the note 3.

My version of gear manager will not let me access samsung apps. Hitting that button simply causes the program to freeze. I then have to manually force close it. Why is this? How do I rectify it. BTW, I have installed the newer versions of the app...

I assume it is because you are not running the newest software. Mine does the same thing but I am still on 4.2.1

how do I do this? when i go to samsung apps, it tells me to dl the newest version via the phone...but the phone just crashes as i described before.
Looks like the app needs whatever bloatware you removed.
Okay so I never create new threads but after the most recent gear manager update (1.4 i believe) it seems that everyone is having sms issues and if you uninstall the gear manager app then try to reinstall it gives you an error that your device is not compatible (even with a note 3) Let's try and keep the update related problems on this thread. Also I was able to find an older version of the gear manager apk and it seemed to fix the issue.
Edit- Hers is the link for the apk I used. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4ea1786uzpy70vk/gearmanager.apk I also had to go into rom toolbox and manually delete anything related to gear manager in order for this to install.
If it ain't broke don't fix it. My gear works perfectly on my s3 so I'm not updating crap anymore. I'm convinced Samsung doesn't test anything.

Thanks!
Wish I would have found this thread before I started reflashing ROMS trying to figure out why my Gear suddenly crapped itself after yesterdays update. Your APK has me back in business!
I have been away from my gear watch for two months and I forgot how to do some of the basics I did before. I know how to use Odin to flash over the files for the new firmware for the gear watch itself. . But there is a Gear Manager update that has to be installed separately. The GR Manager update has been available for a week and it is posted in this forum. It has to be installed on the phone separately from ODIN. I simply forgot the process for installing the Gear Manager software. SInce I have a rooted phone I have done this before, but since I have been away from the watch for months I forgot.
Can someone remind me of the process for loading or installing the Gear Manager software onto the phone itself. I can't automatically do it thru the software itself because I have a rooted phone with Null custom rom

You mean you forgot how to use adb and sideload? Or you can use wondershare.
Here's the null rom tutorial using wondershare.

Bear with me. I do know well how to side load apps both with and without wondershare. I can use ADB quite well. I guess what I do not recall is if I have the APK for the GEAR MANAGER software that goes on the phone is that loaded by way of adb. I have gotten myself all turned around in that i know how to load ape's onto the watch itself using adb, but I do not recall if that is the same process for loading the apk for the Gear Manager onto the phone.
Perhaps I should attack this from this perspective. I have downloaded the latest GEAR MANAGER software from a thread on this forum. How do I get it onto my phone. I no longer use Wondershare as my trial ran out. But I know the adb process quite well. I just son't know if I install the apk to the watch or to the phone, and if to the phone where
Thanks so much

Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted software onto the watch, but you need it onto the phone! I think? If so, what kind of phone are we talking about here, and what android version is it running?

Thanks for your patience in trying to help me.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 and running the latest android, but not KitKat. Would You believe i have actually loaded Gear Manager software before But I simply forgot how I did it. I have to load the updates for Gear Manager manually because I am running a custom rom with Null 19. I just don't remember how I loaded the updates in the past

When I go to the manager on the phone and try to check for update it tells me my gear has been modified. Software updates are not available

The update your checking is the firmware in gear manager for the gear. You need to go into the Samsung apps on your phone and update gear manager from there.
That's Samsung app and not play store lol. Good luck

Click the link below for gear manager application install/update. At the prompt choose to open with "Samsung apps" which should be previously installed.

I did as you directed and went into Samsung Apps on the phone and I did not see anywhere a vehicle to upgrade the gear manager. All I had was a bunch of watch faces
Or just download the apk

Is anyone having trouble downloading apps?
As an example:
I goto Gear Manager, Select my device, Goto Samsung Apps, Goto Utilities, Click on free at the top, Click on Neon : Digital Watch, Click on Install...it flashes like it tries to install and nothing happens...the install button pops back up.
I'm using a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with my Gear 2 Neo.
Fixed. I had to got www.samsungapps.com on my phone and reinstall Samsung Apps which is separate from Gear Manager.
I have the same problem...only I do have Samsung apps installed. I can download the apps to the phone and it will attempt to install...just says "Installing" forever. I literally have to reboot the phone to get it to stop.

I see that I received an update to the Gear Manager today. Now I can't connect the Galaxy S4 to the Gear 2 Neo. Anyone else having this problem?
Background:
Before I noticed the update (which had connected to the Neo just fine), I looked at the watch faces running under Multi Watch and saw they were corrupted (the number for the calendar had floated off to the upper right in the screen). So I decided to reset my watch. When I tried to connect, the watch and phone evidently exchanged PINs correctly, but the phone kept jumping back to the 'Connect' screen and wouldn't recognize the watch as connected.
The Gear keeps reverting to the "select the Gear you want your phone to connect to" screen.
Gear seems paired successfully in the phone's BT settings, but won't connect there either.
Multiple deletes of the Gear in the Bluetooth settings haven't worked. Uninstalled and reinstalled the Gear Manager several times. Cleared all the caches and data for Gear Manager several times.
S4 rooted with Towelroot; SuperSU installed. Root access granted to Titanium Backup, Memory Booster, Root Explorer. Formerly had BusyBox on it and xPosed framework (running Wanam). Uninstalled BusyBox and xPosed and Wanam.
Any ideas?
Did you reboot both the phone and the gear?
Last resort is to reset the gear. It is a pain, but is better than not having it connected. I had to do the same thing.
Yes - rebooted both the phone and the Gear 2 Neo several times. I've been able to test this with another Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy S5 and the Neo connects to both of them. Looks like the problem is in the app, or something that happened when my S4 got rooted.
Looks like the Gear 2 Neo goes back in the box until another update comes out for Gear Manager.

Another option is to remove the gear manager you installed from sammy and install the one found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686
And is the ROM you have on kitkat?
Good idea - tried it and got the same response. Couldn't find a version number on the one from the link, but I suspect it is the same as Sammy released today.
ROM is stock 4.4.2 Android from VZ - I545VRIFNC5. Rooted. I put BusyBox Pro back on there, and xPosed framework, and Wanam, but I haven't yet enabled Wanam.

Just had the same, what happened to me was that I flashed a new ROM, couldn't get it to connect just like yours.
Resolution was to flash another ROM, one that is basically stock.
Then the Gear Manager kicked in and installed all the relevant apps for the gear neo when I opened it.
I believe that the problem was with some missing files from the ROM I installed first when it stopped working.
I also had to go to get then newer "galaxy apps" from Samsung's mobile website..
You could make a backup and flash some other stock rooted ROM see if that helps..
Otherwise I don't know, this was just a a suggestion..

Question from a n00b
I was successful in rooting VRUFNC5, so here's my (probably noob) question:
Is there a VRUFNC5 file that I can put on the SDCard and use to reflash my phone to stock?
I am not experienced in using ODIN, and the instructions I've found here seem to presume a bit of knowledge that I am not confident I have.
If I can get it back to stock, I'll reconnect the Gear 2 Neo, and then re-root it.
