Samsung Gear Fit2: Gear Fit 2 no turning on...again

Sun, 24 Mar 2024 09:31:08 -0700

My gear fit 2 will not turn on. It does not show as charging either. I put it on the charger last night with 20% charge remaining and this morning it will not turn on or show as charging. I had the same problem a month ago and it was sent to Samsung repair centre in Toronto. It was returned working and fixed under warranty. Now I am in Florida and it does not work less than a week later. What should I do?

Samsung Gear Fit2: Unable to load data

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 10:44:28 -0700

My Gear fit recently began displaying the message Unable to load data Tap to retry, none of the c0nnected apps seem to synch or be able to show the current data. However the data from my Gear fit 2 does synch back to Samsung S7, it just does not display on the fit. I've tried synching, rebooting both devices but nothing seems to get the Gear Fit to display any data. Only thing that shows is the Watch face. I also get messages about sleep and meeting task goals but those do not open either to show the actual results/values.

Samsung Gear Fit2: Gear Fit 2 pro not booting

Tue, 03 Nov 2020 06:01:59 -0700

Hello,

I have a problem turning on my Gear Fit 2 pro, I see the Gear fit logo then the Samsung logo but the screen goes black shortly after that.

What I tried so far:

1. Reinstalled the latest firmware via NetOdin.

2. Hard reset (10s on power)

3. Factory defaults via reset menu (the watch turns off shortly after the reset begins)

4. Disconnected the battery for few min.

5. I flashed the Combination Firmware

Could you please let me know if there is anything else I can do?

Best regards

Samsung Gear Fit2: Can I fix my cracked screen gear fit pro 2?

Thu, 30 Jul 2020 01:22:06 -0700

Hi everyone !

For cristmas gift I received a Samsung Gear fit pro 2 ( the difference between the pro model is the normal is that it's 50m waterproof).

Unfortunately (I don't know how it even happend) I got my screen cracked ! It's working but I'm quite sure my watch is not waterproof anymore.

I have to question :

- As it's a new model, do you think it's fixable ?

- If yes, does someone know if there is a place where I can get the replacement screen ?

Thanks you so much for your help guys !!

Samsung Gear Fit2: Replacement Charging Pins Badly Needed!

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 18:22:43 -0700

I need to replace the badly corroded charging pins on my Gear Fit 2.

It was a gift for pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (That I still have), and I'm pretty sure that Sammy (Samsung) will not replace, or fix the device without me first returning my Note 7 (which I have no intention of doing so).

Is there somewhere (Amazon, Newegg, E-Bay) where I can purchase a replacement?

I'm an IT professional who has no problem tearing this thing apart and rebuilding it myself, but I just need to have the correct replacement parts on hand before doing so.

If anyone can provide me a Part Number, or the correct name of the circutboard that I'm replacing; that'd be most helpful.

Thank you in advance.

Samsung Gear Fit2: Poor Connection Between Phone & Gearfit 2/ Gearfit 2 & Charger

Tue, 30 Jul 2019 13:41:58 -0700

I have a semi-broken Samsung Gearfit 2.

Samsung won't repair it as it's not a European model (bought on Amazon) and I can't find anyone local with the know-how to fix it.

It has difficulties connecting in general:

there are no notifications from phone to the watch unless I reconnect the phone multiple times a day!
it no longer picks up heartbeat
it doesn't transmit data from the watch to the phone at all, even after reconnecting the 2
it has also always had a dodgy connection to charger

I’m sure there must be a sensor somewhere needing replaced but I have no technical know-how whatsoever. Can this be repaired or do I need a new watch?

Thanks!

Samsung Gear Fit2: Settings widget will not open

Thu, 09 May 2019 11:12:30 -0700

I have looked in every forum and all over google and I can not find a solution. I have been trying to connect my Gear Fit 2 with my phone but in order to do that I have to access the settings widget on the watch. For some reason every time I click the settings it will not open it will blink that I touched it but it won’t open. Every other widget opens just fine except the settings. I have tried rebooting it and turning it on an off but nothing works. I can’t do a factory reset because I have to access the settings which is what I can’t access.

When I try to charge the Gear Fit2 it flashes the “hot” sign. The battery is dead and I cannot charge it due to this warning. The watch is not hot. Does anyone know where the temperature sensor is? Is it built in to the battery? I have cleaned the charger, the pins, the back of the gear. help and thank you
