[Q] S Health and Gear Fit with Galaxy S4 active?

[Harald21]

Hello,
I try to get the "S Health" version 3.2 working on my Samsung Galaxy S4 active (GT-I9295) with Android version 4.4.2, because the old version is not supporting my Samsung Gear Fit. I downloaded the health version from:

Update for S Health (3.2.0.0014), Health Service, Group Play (3.0.200)

S Health & Health Service --->
Unpack the zip, Install S Health, Open it (it won't work), Install Health Service and finally re-open S Health.

So I deactivated the original version on the S4 active (pre-installed) and rebooted the mobile phone. Then I installed the S Health and started it. I got a message that the version needs to be updated. The first time I ignored the message and installed the health service, but the software didn't run (message: "S Health was stopped"). Then I tried again. The message popped up again and I pushed OK. But next was an error message "Product not available (4002)". So I installed the Health Service afterwards. But the same result. S Health is not going to run.

The "fitness with gear" is also not running correct. It is not showing the history and the synchronization also doesn't work.

So please does anyone has a solution to get S Health running on a S4 Active?

I think the solution for now if you have an s4 active and want your pedometer stats, go back to a 2.1 level of gear manager.

I think Samsung assumed most of their phones had a more compatible version of s health


Media fire links of gear manager:

Uninstalling all the new gear apps from applications, and there are a lot of separate ones now, installing 2.1.14071502, factory resetting gear and reinstalling fitness with gear got me back, but on any relaunch of gear manager attempts to update to the new version. I have an old gear plugin app open in recent apps and can still modify by that...

Samsung really overlooked the s4 active with the new gear manager update.

Hi, this is good news. So there should be a solution. Can you look up what version of "gear fit manager" and "S Health" is installed and also the "Health services"

Thanks
Harald

Gear app is also running on my wife's device, but the history is not working right now. You only can see the data of today.

I got the gear fit running with S Health on my S4 mini, but not on my wife's Samsung S4 active and she is not very satisfied with the situation.

You will need to uninstall the old version before installing the new version and even freezing can sometimes create conflict.

You can try Super WizCyan ROM and install working SHealth 3.2 from the add-ons package.

Sorry... my bad, had forgot to update the link to the add-on package which is now updated, the add-on package also has the gear apps from S5 (not tried as yet, but you can give it a try and let me know )

I haven't seen any more recent posts on this. Does anyone know if there have been any new releases from Samsung or a workaround? My wife and I just picked up a pair of the Gear FIts. Her's works great on her S4. My S4 Active still doesn't work. I cannot get the latest version of Gear Fit Manager or the latest version of S Health and the version of Fitness with Gear I have will not sync with my Samsung account to preserve history.

You MUST NOT deactivate or remove old version.
So, uninstall new one, make old version work, than update from Galaxy Apps.

Just uploaded a new version of the super WizCyan ROM with the addon package.
You could give it a try if you would like to. The ROM is a slimmed TouchWiz stock with only basics & include active display & lockscreen notifications. You can get the latest version of shealth + gear manager from the addons package in post#2
