I was just wondering how many apps I was supposed to see in the samsung apps manager. So far I see only 97 however I heard that there was about 140 or something available. I have a GS3 SGH-i747 with a Gear one.
My friend has the same gear one watch (v700 i think) along with an GS4 and he only sees 50ish apps. What gives?
Are the any plans to unify everyone to see all the available apps on Tizen? I really find it annoying that Samsung shows some apps and not others depending on configurations.
So my question is, how many apps do you see and what is your current configuration?
S4 GT-I9505 + Gear 1 with Tizen = 50 Apps
S4 GT-I9505 + Gear 1 with Android = Also not over 50 Apps
Shame on you Samsung!
From Samsung Gear Apps : Top : 300apps

mjrshark, do you mind telling us if you did anything to get all those apps visible on your phone? I heard there were some tweaks that you could do on the S4 to show more apps. Was wondering if I could do the same on the S3.
Thanks,

He wrote it: Note 2 with S5 build (he've change his model id in the build.prop)
@triscope @psycho-sonic
As above said , my build has been changed with rom to show to other apps/markets its S5 not note 2 , and those 300 apps some of it only for gear 2 for heart rate and ir , dont know why it showing for me
I wanna see what I'll get if I use gear with tab note 2014 edition , just dont like idea that gear needs factory reset to connect to another device ?
Does someone work on it ?
Android wear on gear 2 ?

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.

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.
nexus 5
so is it possible to pair gear2 with nexus 5 on android 5.1.1?

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)
