Pairing Gear bluetooth with iPhone / iPod - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Anyone tried this? My goal is basically to make the Gear compatible with iOS devices.
It works from a high level - it says they're connected (and doesn't disconnect), but I haven't deployed any apps yet that communicate properly with an iPhone.
The BLE APIs are 4.3 (API 18) and the Gear is 4.2 (API 17), so I don't think I can use the BLE apis directly.
Anyways, I'll poke at this slowly between other projects and share what I have. Hopefully I can inspire others to do likewise.
Cheers

Yes, I just make a call from Gear with iPhone4S, now only call/answer/dial function worked.
I install the Bluetooth auto connect apk and manual connected with iPhone4S, I think need develop a new Gear manager for iOS.

Wow ... Hope to work with iOS. :good:

Well, I think you can pair it during the initial reset phase (it will pair, but fail to connect), and then pair with your samsung s3.

1. Install "Bluetooth Auto Connect" app, you can find in in Google Play.
2. Disconnect Phone's bluetooth.
3. Goto Gear's settings -> bluetooth-> enable search
4. Open Bluetooth auto connect, enter devices menu
5. Search and pair in your iOS device.

You can reset the device, pair with iPhone, and then pair again with your Samsung.
You'll still be paired after the reset.

Yeah, it'd be nice to reset without going to the Samsung devices.
I've been playing around with the various services/and activities via the am start command:
Code:
am start com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothPairingDialog
am start com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothConnectActivity
am start com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothSyncingActivity
am startservice com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothAutoConnectService
Bit of a chore, but I got these using smali / dex2jar / JD Gui
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Bluetooth.odex
adb pull /system/framework/ framework (grab all the frameworks for baksmali)
./baksmali -a 15 -x Bluetooth.odex -d framework -o Bluetoot
./smali Bluetoot
d2j-dex2jar.sh out.dex
And then run JD Gui on them to figure out what's going on. I'm not sure, but there is a VendorSpecificCommand in the odex which might be what's causing the reset. If there was a way to avoid that, it might help. Hard to say.
Another idea might be to use bluez or something and do a command line pairing.

Way ahead of you, except tasker won't install. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
I got Locale installed but it seems to crash when I try to add conditions.
Llama seem to work, it seems I can at least change volumes based on times of days, its a start. Not sure what profiles I would need with a watch but Llama might be the best bet right now

Currently no. If someone can remove the Google Play Licensing Validation, then we could push Tasker. There's an apk called "Lucky Patcher" that removes those sort of validations from apps (probably not legal in the slightest). However, Tasker is one of few that are considerably hard to emulate a paid purchase, causing Lucky Patcher to have no effect. So, no, not currently, but I'm working on removing that restriction and testing.

You're phone, by default, should detect your watch as a media headset or something similar. So, you should be able to use your watch in AutoVoice/Tasker on your phone as a microphone

Autoremote without bluetooth tethering?

Hello,
Is there anyway to get Autoremote to work directly with the Note 3 over bluetooth and not require internet? I'm sure I"m missing something? thanks.
You need internet first to register device in autoremote
After that, you only need standard Bluetooth connection to send commands
@Brendo my bluetooth autoremote seems to work fine.
However if I try to send a notification (not a quick message) via bluetooth it doesn't seem to get received on the gear
Please try and let me know if you can send and receive a NOTIFICATION thanks

Stock notifications aren't available on the gear. You can get the pull down bar in null rom, but even then I don't think it works with all apps. I've not tested though. If you mean the notifications like standard way that gear manager sends notifications, we really need an sdk to work out how to utilize that (there are workarounds where some apps used existing channels)

No, perhaps you misunderstood,
if you go into the autoremote app and select "devices" then there is a small envelope on the right as well as a triangle - these are used to send quick messages and notifications ( by autoremote app )
I can send the message, but not the notification by bluetooth..... however notificatio does work fine by wifi and it gets received by the gear no problem

I understand now. I had a look sending notification via plugin in tasker - which is the same, but didn't realise how notification was sent. Sounds like message uses direct Bluetooth where as notification routes through wifi. Sounds like you'll need to check with dev (may be a bug or unfinished since Bluetooth is recent addition to app?)
I ve got the same problème when i has was in theter i Can send command but without theter the command don t work.
Can you help me?

Thank you. I thought I was the only one not able to get this working. I've trying for a week now and everything I found made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
The one thing I've noticed is that when you click and hold the device, and the menu comes up, when I select "connect Bluetooth device, it will say it is connected. But, right after that, it says "not a valid QR code". So I've been wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else seen this?

It DOES work, you have to create a Tasker profile and task, search this or the other thread for it.

Ok, regarding the tasker task, does this need to be included in every task? What I mean is, I've already got some autoremote tasks that work when tethered. I want to be able to use them via BT when I'm not on Wifi (that's the only way my tether works).

I've done this and it still doesn't work. Still getting "retrying 1/5" etc. I'm starting to think I must have some other BT connection issue because I've been trying to get the BT GPS sharing working again. It worked a few null roms back but seems to be broken now. I've searched all over the phone and the gear but can't find anything that would be blocking certain BT functions. Everything else works between the phone and the gear (notifications, weather, mini gallery, pedometer backup).
is bluetooth on in autoremote app

I assume you have done the below, but repeating it for others too....
In Autoremote, on the devices tab, click on the bluetooth icon of each paired autoremote device to switch ON, and turn wifi off ( assume you have already long pressed and "add as Bluetooth device )
If ON, the icon is blue, if off grey

Yep, tried it multiple ways. Like I said, I think I've got some other connection issue. I even tried the Smart Remote app from the gear store and haven't ever been able to get it to connect either. At first I thought it was due to the null rom but others have said it works for them.
I just have no idea what would allow "selective" connections.
Edit: I just noticed that on the phone, in tasker, it shows as an active profile but in the gear it does not. I even set up a generic profile just to pop up a notification. If I test the action it works but the profile still shows as inactive and in the notification panel it still shows "no active profiles" yet all other functions continue to work. Can someone confirm if this is the same on their gear?

I had the same, initially, it took some time on the Gera with Tasker.
Try switch profile off, then on, save reboot, reconnect and have patience.
Instead of connecting to a "named" connection, leave that bank and choose the optional "bluetooth address" in taker profile state

Connection Lost
I use autoremote on the gear over bluetooth and it work well with my note 3.
I have tasker which enable bluetooth in gear and note 3 when they connect them in bluetooth.
It work great until the watch goes in deep sleep. At this time the connection is broken until I reboot. I try to enable persistent notification on the gear when tasker enable autoremote bluetooth (to prevent the service to be killed) but at this time I have another problem, the gear and the phone are not able to go in deep sleep so I have a big battery drain.
If someone have ideas to help I'll be very glad.

I rebooted both phone and gear and the first try was successful. Next attempt back to trying. One thing I noticed was that upon restart both taskers showed the Bluetooth profile as active. After the first test the tasker on my phone now shows inactive. Prior to restart it was the gear that showed inactive.
Either way, this is progress. Now to find out why they aren't staying active.

After series of reboots in various orders, this is finally working. Now that it is, I can even say it's much faster than while tethered.
Now I can't wait to get my home automation setup and working. To control it all from the watch is going to be awesome.
Thanks everybody for your support and ideas.

Will not work as the required Gear Manager is for Android Only. Don't think it will ever work on Windows Phone. There is no headset function to connect the gear to headphones (if that's what your asking also)

I think you got me wrong. The assumption is that someone writes a app like Gear Manager that will handle the data exchange. But since the watch itself is a simple BT device it must be possible to make use of the BT profiles. The question is: which profiles are supported?

Unfortunately, I haven't had a Samsung in years, but a post in the S7 Q/A forum suggests using an app called Miracast Shortcut.

Hi, thanks, but thats exactly what im doing in profile, using the bluetooth connect to car to open the app, but the app doesnt auto connect to the cast device (and there is no option as far as i see in the app todo so), so the point in auto connect to the device cannot be provided like this in my usecase.

There is a tasker plugin by the same developer called AutoCast. Maybe it will help you.
I don't do any of this, so obviously I don't have any personal experience to offer. You might try on the tasker Google groups forum.

was a great idea, sadly this app (beta state) only supports google devices, no miracast device, but that function would have been the winner, thanks again
Probably a part of the problem is that Google removed miracast support from "stock" android awhile ago. That dates back to the nexus 6 days.

contacted the developer of the autocast plugin and he confirmed, only works with google cast devices like i (sadly) expected.
thanks anyway for the hint.
That's always working to automate the tap(s) required. You could use Tasker to open the app, AutoInput UI query to determine when it's open, then an AutoInput action to enable the device connection.
probably yes, but thats now too much read and trial and error for now, thanks.
