Is there an app or something i can do besides rooting my device to connect my device to my Samsung Gear 2 watch ? i have tried Android wear and Gear Manager apps.
Help would be appreciated
Thanks
Would like to know the same thing . I managed to install Gear Manager on P9 and successfully install all additional apps needed thru Gear itself rather then installing them all separately . Phone and watch do connect at the beginning but at the end when watch does reset and its ready to connect it just stays on forever on connecting on P9. Seems like its possible but not quite there yet .
I used non -Samsung gear manager app if interested . Read somewhere that P8 can work with Gear .
Anyone else got it working ?

Updated my gear 1 to tizen and also my note 8 Ltd to 4.2.2 using the official Germany dom. ...
Watch pairs with phone both showing code but then......nothing.......tries to connect to watch and fails.....
am I missing something
please help cos right now I hate Samsung so much for making this gear not work
I had that happen while trying to flash a custom recovery and failing which resulting in the watch hard resetting itself. My phone would recognize and pair with the watch but it would go in an endless connecting spree. The solution is to go into your Gear manager and gear plugin app info on the phone or tablet and just clear the data. Or you could just uninstall/reinstall the app and it should do the trick.

Hi Guys any of you encountered getting stuck on Samsung Gear manager when tryin to connect to Samsung gear 1? Im on DN3 V5 Rom with Agni Kernel and I have Samsung gear 1 running Tizen. I tried clearing Rom/Cache/Dalvic, reinstall gear manager app a couple of times including from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2677686. I reset my gear which makes it unusable it can pair through bluetooth.
Before reinstalling gear manager did u try force closing it and reconnecting? That usually fixed it for Me. Worth a try it. Sometimes it takes a couple tries to connect to my phone
Thanks for your suggestion. Ive tried that already but it just stays connecting.My bluetooth detected and paired my Gear with no problem.

Make sure your build.prop DOES NOT claim your device is a Samsung. (and reboot for reverted build.prop to take an action) That fixed an issue for me

I have the same issue with a BQ M5, and One Plus One too. The gear manager was working before with both phones, but when I upgraded gear firmware with first the BQ , gear manager doesn't connect anymore. Then I reset my watch, delete apps, clean mobile... restart... etc with no luck. I try to install old firmware and an old gear manager app (the one that worked before with this phone and gear firmware) and same result, stuck on "connecting...". This has happend with both phones after they both upgraded firmware on the gear s2 using gear manager. I think it's something with the upgrade process, that makes the gear manager unusable on the phone that downloads and performs the upgrade on the watch. I have to initialize the gear with a friends phone so that I can almost see the time...
searched the internet for a solution but same issue is happening already with Samsung phones to some people.
If someone have any clue on how to debug or try to trace this bug, any suggestion will be appreciated.
hello everybody,
untill last week my gear was working fine, but 2 days ago i wanted to flash null_rom because i was interested in the function on internet bluetooth tethering
i flashed the rom, i connect the gear to my note 3 ( rom s5 ported) and all was working fine, except for the fact that i couldn't use bluetooth tethering.. i don't know why!
so i decided to wipe all and reflash the rom from recovery. Then i reboot the watch and i tried to reconnect phone and gear, and i couldn't! i opened gear manager, find my gear e and paired with my device: the phone said "connecting to gear" and on the watch there was the symbols of connction between the devices.. the gear stuck on this but my phone said that was connected, but i couldn't use the watch beacuse i had always the animation of connecting devices on the gear!
i didn't know what to do, so i decided to reflash the last firmware for gear (android 4.2.2 nc1, not tizen, i don't want it!). Now the problem is worse, i think, because the gear and phone try to connect but the phone says that "the base that i tried to connect could be wrong :/ , while the gear doesn't show nothing! i have always the 2 icon of demostration of connection by bluetooth or nfc: when i try to pair the devices, both phone and watch vibrate and show the code of pairing, i accept in both of device but nothing happens! could someone help me? i also tried to unpair the devices and downgrading the gear manager to reconnect devices, but the older gear manager says that i have to upgrade the software of the gear, but i don't want tizen at all! i like android
Help me please!!
Did u use custom rom on your note 3 ? If yes try to reinstall back that rom and if still cannot then u must use original stock rom before can sync with your GG.
Hope this can give u little bit idea..... peace
Hello Good People,
Can some one please help me with this matter I have been battling with for weeks.
After weeks of reading threads and trying to connect my Gear1 to a non Samsung device.
Gear1 works with my Sony Xperia mostly as a tethered bluetooth device.
With Gear Manager 2.0 installed I get to the pairing part over and over again and it always times out. If I install Gear Manager 1.7 it shows up as v2.1.
Gear Manager has become a pain in the a**!
If someone knows a solution please do share.
T.I.A.
Good Day, I'm New here
I tried so much to get my Samsung Gear 1 SM-v700 to work with my Huawei p20 pro or my Samsung Tablet s2.
First I tried with the Samsung Wearable app from the Google Play Store, but it can't find the watch and when i trie with NFC it opens the app but closes again.
Second I tried the older Gear Manager with every other plugin and than its saying "Connecting" but it don't connect its stuck in the Connecting screen.
3rd I tried to use the Gear without Phone and install apps on it with ADB but ADB don't find the Watch and there isn't any USB-Debugging Popup showing on my Watch to allow my PC but the Windows Explorer finds the watch and the folder.
Strange is that in the Bootscreen its says Samsung Gear 2 but i know its the Samsung Gear 1.
Nothing Works with my Gear.
Does someone know how to make the Gear work with my Phone or that the watch works without any Phone but the USB debugging works ? and yes USB debugging is enabled but the pc still don't find it. I'm using a Samsung Cable for the Watch.
Hope someone can Help.
Informations:

Phone, Huawei p20 Pro with android 8.1
PC has the Samsung Phone Driver and see the gear in Device manager, Samsung Kies (Smart Switsch) sees the Gear too and connect's with it.
