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.

You need Bluetooth LE 4.0 to work properly. So, sorry to say that but it isn't gonna work

Check this thread on using Gear with any phone without gear Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539082.
You can find the latest Null ROM at http://null.section80.net/.

Thanks, I'm aware of this. I tried installing it but my issue is I'm trying to install Gear Manager on a non-rooted device. I posted about it here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617504) but still didn't get an answer as to whether or not it's possible.
Hi,
I have the chance of buying a Galaxy S4 zoom but need to know whether it works with the Galaxy Gear or not? I have a Galaxy Gear (Original Galaxy Gear 1) already and don't want to render it useless should I chop in my Galaxy S3 for the S4 zoom!!
Thanks

The S4 Galaxy Zoom came with android version 4.2.2. On this version it "might" work if you jump thru some hoops. It is able to be officially updated to 4.4 on some carriers. If the Zoom is on 4.4 stock firmware it will work. If your able to get to a retail store and test drive the device, open samsung apps application and search for gear manager. If it's there, your 100% good to go!

So its all based around whether the device can download the Samsung Galaxy Gear Manager then rather than hardware capabilities?

Hardware requirements for the gear are a bluetooth v4 connection. But users with v3 have it working properly. The S4 Zoom has v4.0 with A2DP, LE so it's good to go hardware wise.
Software wise the gearmanager requires an android version of 4.3 or higher that's based on Samsung's touchwiz framework. If your on anything different you have to do some modifying and tweaking. That's where xda can help!
Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that answers my question!! The S4 zoom only has Android 4.2.2 and no upgrades to it so I'm not going to run the risk!
I might wait for the rumoured Galaxy K Zoom just to be sure!
I also don't think that the S4 zoom can run S Health either so the integration between the watch and S Health won't exist either!?

Is this a fact? Well, if that's right, I know why my Galaxy Note 1 does work very well with a force installed Gear manager, but calling is silent and with no mike working... Bluetooth 2.1 here... In that case, be sure that your device supports more than mine ^^

The original Galaxy note has Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, EDR. I use to have one and didn't have mic problems with my gear. You might want to reinstall gearmanager and all the apks individually again.

That's not right!!!! I use gear with S4 mini dual sim from November 2013 and it has 4.2.2. Samsung implemented the necessary files in earlyer version of android. If you could update your phone with a 2014 firmware it is a very great possibility to work. (99%)
Anyway, gear manager works just fine with devices from other manufacturers, I reccomand you to read on the gear forum some more.

Which ROM? Omni KitKat ROM does not work.
I don't suppose anyone is able to definitely confirm that the Galaxy Gear works with the Galaxy S4 Zoom?
I've double checked today and its actually the SM-C101 model I have a chance of getting... OR I can now get a Galaxy S4. So I need to be absolutely sure that I can use my Gear with the Zoom, otherwise I'll go for the S4

someone already confirm working on xperia z1.
I screwed up. I bought the Gear 2 Neo & thought it would work with Nexus 5 Lollipop
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)

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 ?
