[Q] gear won't sync - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I updated my Samsung gear 1 to the tizen firmware on Sunday of this week. Installed the new Samsung gear software from the samsung store... went to sync with my note 3... constant wrong passcode or incorrect pin. My girlfriend's s4 it syncs no problem same as on a Co workers Note 2. I've uninstalled the gear manager, nfc writer and then reinstalled and still nothing... is there something I may have missed??? This is getting frustrating. This is the first big issue since getting my gear and note 3 combo... I ran the null rom on my gear from the second day I had it til Sunday of this week no problem. I have rooted both my note 3 and my gear 1 before I updated the gear to tizen and the note 3 to kitkat.

Galaxy Gear Samsung apps will not install, stuck at "installing"

Every galaxy gear app is stuck at installing. The watch and phone are working fine together other than that. Non-Gear samsung apps install fine.
Anyone else having problems installing Gear Apps from Samsung apps?
This is on a stock note 3 stock gear. Installing eventually times out actually installing nothing. But then the samsung apps thinks it's been installed. Now I have 10 apps or so that are not on the gear that the app store thinks are downloaded and cant remove. Any help out there?
I have power cycled the phone and the gear. I have disconnected the Gear and added it back as a new gear.
Bump am I the only one with problems?

Had the same problem... when trying to install from Note III phone the Galaxy Gear Watch, the Samsung Note III phone software got stuck/hung. Also, calls out originating from the watch were not performing correctly. Lastly, I could not use the Samsung App store as it would show an error saying something along the lines of not being logged in to access apps or some such. Only remedy seems to be to wipe the Note 3 and watch and start over again. Here is what I did:
Backup everything to Kies 3 (though other methods should be ok I assume).
Reset Note III and watch back to factory.
After reboot I made sure the phone/watch interface worked. Verifying this, then restored phone using Kies 3.
Of course there is always a bit more work than this, as the Phone's home screen/sub-screens layout need to be redone and other bits needs to be manually changed back to your preferences. Also, some of your e-mail account may need to be re-entered/reconfig as they were deleted and not restored. Took me ~60 min and now everything, including sideloading with Wondershare MobileGo, works great.
Same here although I am using a gs4. Everything works fine but I can't install new apps I am using 4.2.2 I figured that might have something to do with it so I'll wait until 4.3 and go from there.

me too. s4 first i was on 4.22 and couldn't instaal anything on the gear, then upgraded to 4.3 rooted it, but the problem is still there - can't install anything on the watch. even svoice wouldn't work
Samsung apps
After some tests I think that the problem is located in the Samsung apps itself.
Since we (may be all of us) have custom ROM, Samsung apps is not correctly installed or is in a older version. Remove the actualization of the Samsung apps in the app manager and restart the phone.
After that open again the samsung apps and it will install actualizations.
Some force closes after that open the gear manager and you will be able to install apps to the watch.
Seem confusing but worked for me. Already in tall ever note and line after that.

sHealth update

Finally Samsung got it right, there was quite the update this morning and now there is one health app.
Version 3.5.1.0693 makes me very happy.
I got this update quite a while ago...

Can you synchronise your steps and activities (or anything!) in this application? I cant!

Yes I finally can now use one interface and the syncing works great - I knew something was coming down the pipe as Fitness with Gear disappeared for a bit last week. I actually went into the gym this morning and tested it out, so the phone and the watch track the exercise. With that knowledge I can now leave the phone in the locker or even home so that I can only use the watch and not have to worry about things going missing (which unfortunately happens). For others that got the update sooner, I am in Canada and I had been longing for this update. Check your version number of sHealth and check if it is the same as what I reported.
sync issues
Anyone else has problems syncing Gear 2 Neo with the new S Health? My S Health sync is just spinning and spinning away and won't sync anything from my Gear 2 Neo. I've tried to reboot, uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck.
The last sync from the Gear 2 Neo to S Health was 5 days ago and that's when I upgraded S Health.
Thanks,

Unpair the Gear 2 Neo and repair it again. Last resort is to reset the gear.

Are Samsung Blocking installs on Non-Samsung phones?

hi all,
i have been an owner of a Samsung Galaxy Gear for over a year now and it's been working fine with several of my phones, a Nexus 5, OnePlus One and Samsung Galaxy S4, however something has changed in the last week or two??
For the last week or so i have been trying to get my gear to re-install on my Oneplus one as i chop and change phones all the time. i have downloaded several of the last few samsung gear apks and every time i connect to the watch the first time the download additional files fails on the oneplus and yet with the same apk on SGS4, installs and downloads the files without a hitch?
Could or Are Samsung blocking the download of additional files from the server site on the Samsung Galaxy Gear?

I wouldn't be surprised if they are blocking something. Even on my Galaxy S5 running CM11 it's a pain to install. I haven't been able to and I do not want to return to Touchwiz because of my watch so I've been using it as a standalone device. It's still good for telling the time, using the timers and taking a picture until I can figure it out.

Gear S2 will connect but app store won't work

Has anyone tried connecting a Gear S2/S3 to their Mi Mix? I got it to connect to my 3g Gear S2 just fine and gave all the apps all the permissions they needed (and then some) but the Samsung Pay app won't show up in the gear app for install and nothing, and I mean nothing, will show up in the galaxy app store. I've tried 2 factory reboots and rebooting my phone and still nothing. To me, the Gear S2 is worthless without a working galaxy app store. Anyone else have this problem or have a possible solution? My Huawei watch works perfectly as does my Pebble Time Steel so the Gear S2 seems to be the only one with an issue.
Please help! Thanks.
If I remember the Samsung store app won't run on non Samsung devices, could be wrong though. I dropped Samsung watches awhile back after the proprietary behavior they showed with the early Fit's ... went to a Moto 360 and haven't looked back.

Well I would agree except my Gear S2 works perfectly on my old Nexus 6P and Honor 8. So I'm thinking there is something that is blocking its use. I have noticed that the China rom blocks a few things (google opinion rewards for example). I've tried the latest global official rom too and it is even worse. I can't even connect the watch to the phone before the gear app just crashes. I guess it just won't work on MIUI. No big deal really as my Huawei watch is sufficient and nicer in my opinion.
I have the same error with my Samsung Pay Gear S2 app. Whenever I try to open it, it returns the error that Samsung Pay cannot be accessed by rooted devices for security reasons. Unroot your device to use Samsung Pay. I have downloaded the SuperUs app to try to unroot it and it says that no root detected on my phone. My Samsung Pay app used to work just fine until they upgraded it. Now it doesn't work anymore.
Does Samsung Pay work on non Samsung devices?

Samsung Gear manager on my open OS on Samsung S5: Notice, The operating system on ..

Hi There,
I got Gear Samsung Gear as a present and it was working fine for many years on my Samsung S4 ( original). A few weeks ago, I had my new Samsung S5, but has barely any reception where I live, I put a new OS on my Samsung S5 (7.1.2) and have it open up. But since then my Samsung Galaxy Gear with the Samsung Manager is not working anymore, every time I open up the application it tells me: I keep getting this message ( The operating system on your phone has been modified in an unauthorized way, and is not compatible with the Samsung Gear app. Check your operating system and try again. ).
I installed other application and they do not work either.
Any suggestions, please?
