I just received a Gear 2 Neo I purchased off of ebay, dowloaded Gear Manager, but have been unable to finish the setup. It keeps giving me the error message, "Unfortunately, Host Manager has stopped". Tried several times to uninstall the app, restart the phone, and factory reset the Gear.

I was reading the reviews for the latest version of the Gear Manager app and others, like you, are having connectivity issues also. I wonder if the connectivity issues your all experiencing are also preventing me from completing setup.

So frustrating. I'm giving up for the night. So much for taking this on my run tomorrow.

I am running Gummy ROM on Sprint Note 3 4.4.4 and when I try to pair my Gear 2 with N3 using Gear Manager (latest version) I get a pop up saying HOSTMANAGER Stopped but I can't get around it. Any suggestions?

I've done everything, reset the watch, I even factory reset the phone, galaxy s5, the notification works for 3 to 4 hours then they stop, previous to the last update everything was working, if you go to the comments in the Samsung store you will see that a lot of people are having the same problem, just hope Samsung give us another update.

After trying everything I realized that when I was using the phone and notifications came they didn't show up in the watch because I had, as before, don't show in the watch when phone is in use, then after the notifications stopped, I went to setting and unchecked it now my notifications shows even when the phone is in use and are working, I think is a bug at least in my watch

Dear All, I have same problem with my Galaxy S5 and Gear 2. After updating Gear Manager, it is not working properly. I tried this formula and reset all but problem is still there. Plz somebody help me to resolve this issue.

My watch wont connect either. Started today Unable to connect to the Gear (phone says) program is updated but now cant change watch faces or anything because no program access.

What version Gear Manager are you on? I haven't seen an update in a while. I'm seeing 2.2.14110499.

 

[1812dave]

Ah, Ok. Mine updated to the same version this morning. I'm not having any issues with it either.

I tought I'd share my experience.

I had an S4 and the Gear Live was connecting fine. When I disconnected it from the S4 (Forget Gear Live) and trying to connect with my new note 4 the watch paired but did not connect.

It connected, disconnected, connected, disconnected... and the sound icon was constantly flashing. I closed the sound and put the device on vibration and it stopped and the watch finally connected. Very strange behavior.

Anyone else get the new Gear Manager update (it's orange now in color) but now finding that neither watches will connect to your phone anymore? I have been on the phone with both Samsung AND Verizon and neither one can get either watch to connect to my Note 3 NO MATTER WHAT! I'm now waiting to hear back from both companies tomorrow (hopefully) with a resolution...be careful folks. I wish that I would have known and therefore blocked of postponed the update. Both watches pair, but won't connect. These "smart" watches aren't too smart anymore with no device connected to them.

[Emmett Conrecode]

Thanks,

The deleting every Gear App on the phone, then factory reset of the watch, then reinstall Gear app finally worked.

Samsung wanted me to reset the phone.:-$

How exactly are you trying to pair the watch and phone? Are you doing this through the Samsung Gear App? Avid user here for a while now, connecting the two seems pretty straight forward.

Swade8, call Samsung. 800 726 7864

Please what is the full contact number of samsung especially for someone calling from Africa.

I also regret allowing auto updates. As of 10 days ago (juy 14) my Note3 can see pair with my Gear watch but they do not communicate. I rely on my watch during meetings and have missed several important requests.
Come on Samsung . Get it SORTED please.

Brought the new Galaxy s7 from the Note 2 ... It's not working either. How the fuk they make a new app that doesn't work with previous watches ???

 

[djrobinn]

My Gear 2 Neo has served me well with a Galaxy S5 followed by a Note 5 but stopped when I switched to the Galaxy S8. Been trying but not having any luck with connecting it with the S8. Could it be Bluetooth 5.0? Not sure what's going on but I sure as hell do miss it.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!
