yes is a problem you make with all programms and nothing work
MFG
funzler

it will be implemented in the next version of Null.
He has it working (pdanet) go read on it in the last couple of pages, up to the sticky versions....

I did get the foxfi bluetooth tether to work, you have to install the tablet app on the gear (I did have to change the font scalling for the app to see everything to get it connected)....It works for the browser and amazon app store but for some reason when you try to download apps it says there is not internet access. The download manager also.says no internet access.....but the browser works great including youtube in browser.

I just tried PDAnet+ Pro on my Note 2 from Sprint and PDAnet Tablet on my gear, I received a constant data connection on the browser, however...I cant seem to get a data connection on Google Maps. I also tried Spotify, worked great to stream music but I couldn't get my playlist.

Im not sure why some apps can use the connection and some can't....

Indeed, it would have to be with the way bluetooth tethering routes the data connection.

Try my guide. I got it working on Verizon without native phone tethering and I can use the google play store/Netflix

Really working tethering for stock Gear?

Please, suggest me a really work app to install on gear and tether with my S4. I tried PdaNet Tablet and EasyTether Tablet but both close. My gear is full stock and unrooted. I can browsing using screenshare, but I'd like to use also others app, i.e., dolphin
tnx

You can't unless your s4 has a custom rom with bluetooth tethering.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that only null_ rom can enable a connection on the Gear ?
As we need to tick a checkbox on it to enable the internet via BT, and this checkbox (functionnality) isn't available on the Gear's stock ROM.

I can browse using Screenshare (phone) on S4 and Screenshare (tablet) on Gear, but Screenshare interal browser is too small for simply browsing from Gear. I'm pretty sure that we can connect both using other apps...I'm looking for suggestions about what app I could try....

Pdanet tablet works on gear using foxfi in my S4, non rooted.
Bluetooth tether does, not because my S4 (fido) has it deactivated....
So I can connect to internet and browse if I want (but why ? it's too small) using pdanet.
Unfortunately you can not use google stuff that require internet connection since they will only work with a native bluetooth tether.
The only reason I would need internet is to use google but since I can't I rarely use pdanet, but it does work if that is what you want.
Only option would be to flash my S4 with another ROM that enables BT but for my needs, I find that too much work. I am good with all I can do with the gear for now.
My 2c...

OP how do you do screen share? That sounds interesting.

Working US Internet Tethering

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I just got finished tinkering around with my galaxy gear over the last 2 days (got it for xmas =)) and I figured out a way to get internet tethering working on a non rooted stock note 3. I will post a quick guide shortly. I'm not very good at writing them and I am assuming you know how to root and install/sideload apps by yourself either with wondershare or adb commands. Will be up shortly =)

I used EasyTether for this as I had purchased it awhile ago and they had a bluetooth tablet app that I could use. I have not tried this with PDANet/FoxFi but I am pretty sure it should work as it is a similar setup.
-- Setting Up
0. Plug your galaxy gear into the cradle and you should be running Null rom and have usb debugging/unknown sources enabled...
1. Start by downloading the reverse usb tethering app from xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
2. Use WonderShare or adb push to install
HackConnectivityService.apk
installed.apk
3. Open the newly installed "USB Tunnel" app on your galaxy gear
4. Start up AndroidTool.exe on your pc and hit the connect button
5. After about 20 seconds your gear should prompt for a superuser access screen. Go ahead and hit ok or grant access
6. After the connection is made you should now be able to open the google play store and sign into your gmail account. If google account manager crashes, continue on to the next step and try again after step 11.
7. On your galaxy gear goto the regular android settings screen and click on the Xposed section. Click on framework and go ahead and update/install the framework and reboot the galaxy gear.
8. With the galaxy gear now rebooted, go into the android settings -> xposed -> and this time hit the modules button. Scroll down and click on the hackconnectivity application. With that app now enabled go ahead and reboot the galaxy gear again. (not sure if necessary but I think I recall it saying it has to be rebooted)
9. With the gear now properly setup return to the android settings -> xposed -> modules -> hackconnectivity and click on the WIFI button.
10. Your galaxy gear will now assume its internet connection will always be wifi even if connected via usb or bluetooth
11. You should be now able to sign into your gmail account by click on the playstore icon if you were not able to before.
-- Getting Tethering Working
12. Using either the PlayStore or sideloading the Amazon Appstore - download Easytether on your phone - and on your galaxy gear install the Easytether Tablet application.
13. Open the Easytether application on your phone and and select Bluetooth Tethering
14. On your galaxy gear open the EasyTether Tablet app and select your phone from the list of devices on the bottom of the screen. After the connection is established your galaxy gear should now be online with bluetooth and feel free to remove it from the charing cradle.
15. I was able to install Netflix on my watch, login, and start an episode of Star Trek while I was writing this for you guys. I hope this gets you guys online with your watches! =)

I will have to check this out and let ya know if I can get it to work. I switched to an international rom just to get native Bluetooth tethering. This will be a nice option for others that don't have a working solution
Nice work and write up.

This is a nice work around ! Although you should simply only have to load the xposed module & activate tethering by what ever means you choose. A few of these steps are not required.
I think I might include this xposed module by default in my rom to save you guys the hassle. If this is confirmed working someone please send me a PM and I will include it by default.

Doesn't seem to work after reboot.

I can confirm that it works. I'm on stock ATT Note 3. All the steps weren't required like you said. I loaded the module and installed easytether on both the gear and phone.

Confirmed working. I installed the HackConnectivityService.apk, then installed PdaNet Tablet, then installed PdaNet+ on phone. Activated HackConnecticityService in xposed. Then rebooted.
Activated and connected PdaNet on both devices. Opened Browser, browser worked. Then opened Google play tryed to connect. "Google Play crashed" (That is what was expected) Then enabled HackConnectivity in the app settings to Wifi. Re atempted connecting with "Google Play" I was able to setup and login.
Nice work, but yes less steps worked. :good:
@fOmey - This would be a wonderful addition to Null_ US users could now use Google Play. And PdaNet+ is free So the original way of getting Bluetooth works, we were just missing this xposed plugin.

Is there any way to do this with the gear running the stock rom?

Have not tested this but, You should be able to. Just install xposed and HackConnectivityService and then install what ever connecting software you perfer. PdaNet is free, I would recommend that to start with.

On your phone open PdaNet+ check "Activate Bluetooth Server" Say Yes to making your phone visible.
On your Gear open PdaNet Tablet click "Configure" then click "Android Bluetooth" Click "Tap here to start scanning.." You should see your phone's's name appear, Click on it, That should bring you back to the main PdaNet screen on the Gear. Then if you look at the bottom you should see part of a button, just a small part. Click on it. Sometimes it's hard to do so, but just keep trying you'll click it. once click you should see PdaNet is connected!
So if you can't get past the phone portion with PdaNet+, try disabling your WiFi and see if that works. Try opening a web page and make sure you have internet access.

On your phone try disabling your WiFi, try opening a web page and make sure you have internet access. If you do then on your Phone Open Pdanet+ and see if you can select "Activate Bluetooth Server" if you can, then go back into your gear, PdaNet Tablet and try to reconnect them, once your done reconnecting them then try clicking that hidden button. (Alternatively you can try open the browser on your gear instead and see if a web page opens.

Really odd. Not sure what is causing the issue. Check out Google play there are other options available instead of PdaNet. (not that I dont want to continue to help ya, just not sure where to go from here for ya other than that.)
(Also don't want to hijack this thread. Sorry Man)

I know the steps are reducible but I just wanted to give everyone the best chance of success doing this. Glad I could help you all out. I was kinda rushing writing because I was excited I could help and I had to write it before my lady got home and would yell at me for tinkering around and not watching a movie with her . Cheers

Working Google Voice Search/ Google Now with NULL?

I have the Google search APK side-loaded onto my gear, but whenever I perform a search the app force closes out. Same thing happens when I use voice search. I attempted to install the Core Google services APK along with the Google Search APK, but MobileGo said the Core Services APK was already installed...
Has anyone been able to get Google Now/ Search working properly?
Thanks in advance!

[Q] HELP!: Galaxy Gear ROM Not Working After Install!

Today I installed a custom _Null ROM on my Galaxy Gear.
After full install, the Google Play Store crashes and says "Unfortunately, Google Account Manager Has Stopped Working"
The browser will not connect, and every page says "Webpage Unavailable"
I am really irritated, because I have not found 1 post with anyone having the same issue.
Please help.

In order to use the store, browser you just be tethered via bluetooth. Turn on bt tether on your phone then on the gear go to settings/bluetooth then you will see settings next to the name of your phone. Click that and select tether

It's very common; doesn't sound like you even looked...
Anyway, those things happen with no active internet connection
Internet is achieved via Bluetooth tether or pdanet (and supported tethering phone plan)
