Has anyone successfully installed gear manager 1.5 on note 10.1 2014? I downloaded the apk file and installed and it showed "unable to connect to the Gear............". Any Idea??
HI!
I have a problem with my Galaxy Gear 1.
I recently upgraded my Nexus 5 with Android 5.0 Lollipop and now I can not sync with the Gear 1.
I use this tutorial :
Install gearmanagerstub.apk on your phone
Download Gear Manager 1.6.111801 — and rename the APK to ZIP
Open the ZIP and go to assets/preinstallapks
Install each of the individual APK files to your device one by one (note that music and weather will not install)
Install the full Gear Manager 1.6.111801 APK (the actual APK, not the ZIP)
Pair your Galaxy Gear to the phone (it may take more than a few tries either by NFC or manually)
Install ATNManager 1.2.2
Allow ATNManager access via Settings > Security > Notification Access
Within ATNManager, choose what notifications you'd like to receive on your Galaxy Gear
the problem is when i try to sync with my phone, stays in "Conect with Gear" and a sign appears "Error to conect with phone" but in bluetooth phone list it's linked.
Anyone can help me?

This is for those that get a No Plug-In error with Samsung Gear Manager on Lollipop (may work with others but not sure):
After countless hours of trying different Gear manager downloads I finally figured out what was wrong with Gear Manager. Apparently Lollipop looks at permissions differently and will fail installs that have duplicate permissions, and installing an app will yield 'App not installed', but wont show why. For me it was the gear1 plugin apk that was failing.
To find out why, I tried through adb with adb install "name".apk and it came back with a duplicate permission error. In my case it turned out to be Gear Tag Writer using a Samsung BT permission. So:
If you have Gear Tag Writer then uninstall it and try your install again.
If not, adb install the apk and see what error comes back and deal with that individual app that is causing this. Afterwards your Gear Manager should install the plugin or you could do it manually and things should work.
This also helped me to get the watch to connect to gear manager on gpe rom for my s4, but not much functionality due to lack of samsung TW apps
I have an Asus Zenfone 2. I've installed the Gear manager and it's apk files (extracted them from the original apk as a Zip file). I managed to connect the Gear to my mobile and even install watchstyler and apply it's watch faces (don't remember if i installed through Samsung store of from an apk file).
Than I got greedy and tried to use a newer Gear manager and it all stopped working. I tried to re-install everything but no matter what I do, I cannot see the watchstyler watch in the gear manager options, so i can't apply a new watchstyler watch face on the gear1.
No matter if I re-install the gear to stock rom (At first i use the awesome null 23), I can't make it work anymore. Now when i install samsung store, i can't see any items in the store (i think this is the real problem, the store recognizes I'm not using Samsung device) so I wan't install the watchstyler through the store. I can connect the gear to my device with the gear manager but can't see the watchstyler watch in the manager.
Any ideas how to solve this problem? I think that one of the best things in the gear are the watch faces
Thanks
version JDQ39.V700XXUAMK7
Manager version 1.6.111801
I've tried installing other watch face apps (as apk) that I had in the past. I forgot to pair my device with the watch and got a message that the installation failed and will be complete after i pair the two. So it seems that maybe all these apps need to install something in the watch itself but can't for some reason. Any ideas?
Which version of gear manager were you using before?

Same version as the one mentioned above.
Hello all,
For good or bad I purchased the gear 1 without fully investigating compatibility with J5, never occurred to me that a 2015 phone running 5.1.1 one of the latest android OS and having 1.5gb ram would be?
Anyway so, how to go around it, cracked version of the gear manager? Unlocking the device ? Going back to android ? Which is best?
Thanks in advance.
PS. What about that crazy hit and hold combination on YouTube ?

1. I went into the gear manager stub file, and then the Lollipop folder located in that folder. Downloaded, installed in /system/app and corrected the permissions.
2. Downloaded Samsung Gear Manager 2.2.15022599, and installed all of the extracted APKS. goproviders and saproviders will crash when installed.
3. I then restarted my phone, and wiped both the cache and dalvik cache. I then proceeded to open gear manager. (Make sure to do this with your data and WiFi connections turned OFF)
4. I opened Gear Manager and attempted to sync my gear 2 with the phone, and HostManager kept crashing. Hitting the home button, I went into the app manager and uninstalled HostManager. I then installed the HostManager from the 2.2.14100299 version of Gear Manager using ES File Explorer.
5. I quickly turned off the Bluetooth connection on my HTC, and then turned it back on. The watch said connection failed, then attempted to sync again, and managed to successfully sync, taking me to the terms and conditions page.
6. The media controller fix I discovered on accident while trying to get E-mails working. Saproviders kept crashing when trying to go to the option, so I uninstalled SAproviders and installed version 2.0.87. Can't remember what version of Gear Manager it came from. This caused the media controller to start working with no problems. E-mails manage to get to the next screen, then crashes when attempting to setup an account.
So basically I followed the method I quoted, using the poster's dropbox link to the correct files. I hope that helps.
credits to @ycats , works with my gear 1 aswell even thou hes got gear 2

Hey thanks,
Ok this are great instructions that will follow just one question.
Since my phone is a Galaxy J5 and is already running touchwiz rom, so I was able to actually load gear manager from the Galaxy store.
But says phone incompatible, is there any specific step that bypasses this security?
Thanks

Ok tried it this way and whichever gear manager I load it comes bask asking to update to latest version with no workaround and latest version just prompts that my device is incompatible ? Any ideas ?
Ok managed to connect and everything works only problem is that saproviders crash and I get no notifications, not even SMS.
Although the most anoying thing is the system trying to update the app to its incompatible latest version.
Ok got it to work 90% of the functions . With limited hustle on 5.1.1 J5.
Nevertheless I am really disgusted with Samsung and it's policy, it's almost like they hate the J5 regardless of its success . They only wanna sell A and S class devices even if they lose money which they do. Really bad marketing.

Well it was after all a lot simpler than I thought could be. Routed the J5 changed build prop to S5 uninstalled all old and voila. Everything works based on the latest Samsung gear manager, it auto downloaded all apps and calendar, call log, e-mail, everything works.
Even changed back to the normal J5 and still all is fine.
So bravo to Samsung for not officially supporting on of the most hot in sales device, that otherwise is fully compatible. FYI my device is the J500FN running official 5.1.1 touchwiz rom.
Anyone else with a J5 (should also work on J7) that needs help let me know.
