Gear 2 Neo question...I feel weird because it isn't technically android and I'm posting...

[atrain311]

...in an android forum. I have nowhere else to turn and you all have never let me down so...

I just got my Neo yesterday. If I view it as no different than the dumb watch I've worn for years, but with many added perks, it's awesome.

If I view it as a polished piece of equipment, it has work to be done.

I went into my updated Samsung Gear manager, went to apps to buy or whatever it is called, DL a few apps, but they are nowhere to be found. Mind you, there's next to none to choose from but the 3 I did, 2 clock faces and one FB sort of thingy, never made their way to my watch. If I were to go back and try to DL them again, it says view them in Samsung Manager...but they aren't there.

Any help would be so great. Even if it is to direct me to the proper location, because like I said...I know I'm technically in the wrong spot since this darn thing runs Tizon now.

Thanks in advance.
Joe

My GEAR2 will be arriving today,but,I'll be using it w/the HTC M8 & LG G-FLEX.

Although compatibility is limited,I'll see if I can contribute to help you find a solution to the app issues.

I know I should be patient, but besides the lack of responses here, I can't find anything of the sort to help out. If you Google Tizen apps you get basically nothing. I'm guessing things will change, but this might be a hold me over until the summer when Google comes out with their wearables.

There's a bit more activity @ XDA-DEVELOPERS w/the GEAR2.

I'm headed that way as we speak,for the latest on non-SAMSUNG compatibility news....

Got the GEAR 2 in this evening.
Basically everything works hardware-wise w/the HTC ONE M8,just no access to SAMSUNG Apps.

However, the GEAR MANAGER app allows for side-loading of apps.

If anyone can pull some apks. for the GEAR 2 & post them here, it'd be greatly appreciated.

How can Gear 2 install APKs? It runs Tizen. I think the side loading feature is for the Galaxy Gear. The Gear Manager app supports the entire line.
