Gear and S4? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hello. I am new to these forums. I've been reading some awesome stuff that you guys have posted! Nice forums...
So yesterday I got me a Gear and I'm using it with my S4. For me, so far only making calls work and getting notifications from Twitter work. I havnt tried anything else but texts and weather won't work.
So my question is, have you guys got any applications working on gear while using an s4? Maybe there's some way so I can get text message notifications on my gear at least until 4.3 is released for my s4? I've read quite a few posts with some great info but I've seen they own a GG with a Note 3. Oh, and I can't install any apps from my s4 to my gear. I see them but when I click install, it just fails. I've read something about USB Debugging on Gear and that way you can push Apps from your pc to gear but not sure if it will work. Thanks

I can tell you that GEAR will work perfectly on Android 4.3 (Mine, I'm using Galaxy S4 i9500 with Android 4.3.) ... as you can see from this forum.
You can install apps from Samsung Apps (once you get GEAR Manager from there). Then a lot more feature apps you can download are there.
You can also use 'USB Debug mode' to push apk files from your computer to GEAR by ADB or Wondershare GoMobile, but not all apps will work.

Ahh I see! I checked the forum out. Unfortunately I can't get a 4.3 on my S4 yet but all I can do it wait lol. But so far, there's no known ways to get notifications working on a none 4.3 S4 is there? I'd be happy if I could get at least get text notifications to go to my GG for now. Thanks for the info!

I was in best buy today and the lady working at the Samsung desk said that she could update me to 4.3 I quickly said no as I'm rooted (mf3) using safestrap. I found this odd as the update was not available to us via keis but who knows she may have been right they easier access than we do. So if you want it check with your local best buy Samsung rep and see what they say.

I would go in if I were you most of the people who work there don't know much. Just ask the Samsung rep if they can update your phone and what is the firmware that they have if they say Android jellybean 4.3 then your set.

I wonder if there is like some kinda notification apk from 4.3 that we would be able to install on 4.2 that would get it to work....I dont know to much about this stuff so that might make no sense but im just thinking

What I think he meant was basically an APK. That gets notifications working on a GG while using a 4.2 device.

You mean your S4 not getting Android 4.3 yet? [There is a way out by flashing Official Rom Android 4.3 of other countries like Russia / India here : http://samsung-updates.com/ [Select from drop-down menu of your left to your exact device].
For Android 4.2.2 on S4, I'd been trying so far, but cannot get any notifications to GEAR, but after Android 4.3, everything is perfect : you can go and download GEAR manager from Samsung Apps and lot more without any annoying. :good:

[Q]: Google Wallet on the One

Hi,
Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere on XDA, but I was just wondering if anyone has managed/tried to get Google wallet to work on our beloved HTC one?
Many thanks in advance for all feedback.
I've tried a few times with various firmware versions, and from what I gather unless you are on Sprint it seems rather futile.
Furthest I've gotten is with the modoco mod is the "setting up wallet, this could take 5 minutes." message, but nothing ever happens. I would love to get it working, so hopefully somebody figures it out.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I too am waiting to get wallet on the HTC One. Anyone have it?
I just got my htc one about half an hour ago as I'm waiting for it, I asked the same question. It can be done by pulling the nfc secure files from the sprint version, flashing that, then flashing the modoco mod. If you try without the libs then it won't work. I've learned this from the galaxy s3 forums. We need someone that knows how to pull the libs from the sprint htc one and make a flash able zip. And I think this is the wrong section for questions lol

how come it only works in the U.S? I was reading in the thread that they disable something in the phone so google doesnt know the phone is rooted etc?
The modaco method does not work. It comes with an insufficient privileges notification stating "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)" I really miss this app. I used it so much, was upset when i found out it only works for sprint.
I didn't get insufficient privileges, but it still would never setup. If you got yours to work in the U.S. krps, are you GSM or Sprint? And did you follow the instructions for modaco verbatim or did you do anything different?
Logcat shows no SMX found even on the google play experience device.

Sprint/HTC hasn't released or leaked a 4.2.2 version so those using 4.2 will end up with force close cycles from NFC. (I've tried every combination of libs)

Yea, I wonder what happened. Maybe the source stopped providing files to sextape or got caught? His leaks were very exciting during my time with the E4GT.

Same here.. The sprint note 3 got released today I think ?
As always, grains of salt should be taken with info from these kinds of guys, but my Samsung field rep stated they plan on having it out by black Friday at the latest. Which would make sense, I assume we'll be doing a GS4 BOGO just like we did for the S3 last year, and Samsung will want to push the Gear at that time.

I've had the Z for about a month now, even with 4.3 it's still worth it. That said, I pray the camera software is better than the 4.3. I can say that I be pretty ticked off we don't have access to kit kat via OTA stock os. I like phones that are plug and play, plus I'm not voiding a warranty on a 600$ phone just to get an OS that I should technically be allowed to run being an Xperia user an all...
Use Xperia update checker to see if update is out for your cda. It's an XDA members program, just search for it. I'm in New Braunfels, TX and I got it through PCC.

Will do, I actually work for Samsung so its more of a Verizon issue. I'm going to wipe my phone and try it again.
Edit: Nope, nothing. Same error. Going have to wait. None of the Samsung Experience Shops have the firmware on the laptops either.
Tried a factory reset and I got the error too

The update was accidentally released today. It will be available tomorrow. Anyone that got it have any complaints?

With the impending charge locking update, what are options to keep the Note 7 going?

I'd like to get the Pixel XL, but as it stands it still seems that isn't yet in stock and I have my doubts it'll be available by the nineteenth of this month.
Is there a way to keep the phone from auto updating like it did with the 60% charge restriction without having to root?
Will rooting and using a custom ROM become the only way to keep the Note 7 running come the new update?
Will rooting then impact returning the phone with T-Mobile? Or can you return it to "stock" in order to do so?
I'm rooted with stock os, I just disabled all the samsung crap and didn't get the previous update. So I don't see this coming either. I used titanium backup freeze/ remove method and haven't had any unauthorized updates pushed to my phone. At this point is only way you can do it or else be stuck unable to charge your phone in a week.
Tiger, I've never rooted a phone, but I'm no tech dummy either. What is a good resource to walk me through the process? What will I need to download? PC vs. Mac?

lol....unless your lucky like he is and rooted and stayed on the original firmware there is no way to root and your on the 60% update so no go.
you can roll back to the previous firmware get rid of the 60% update but thats it.

Only way at this point is download the vanilla firmware in the download section. Flash it via Odin, root it right away, and don't let it get online. Load titanium, find the app to download to sd card, then disable to your hearts content and you will be able to keep your phone.

yeah not gona happen sadly..... you cannot flash any firmware previous to PI3...which means the sprint root method does not work.
i got onto package disabler early so I have disabled everything so Im not worried about the impending OTA.

Tiger, I've never rooted a phone, but I'm no tech dummy either. What is a good resource to walk me through the process? What will I need to download? PC vs. Mac?

lol....unless your lucky like he is and rooted and stayed on the original firmware there is no way to root and your on the 60% update so no go.
you can roll back to the previous firmware get rid of the 60% update but thats it.
i am also not aware of any package disablers which work now either to prevent the next OTA
there is an ADB method but its not working on all devices from what ive seen

There's another package disabler and method I saw today on the Facebook Note 7 Rebels page.

Go to note7alliance.com , everything is there to block the update. All of the information is free, and they will help if you have any questions. They also have a Facebook page called Note 7 Alliance.
Got an iPhone 7 plus today in matte black. So far so good. Couldn't resist the price so I went for it. T-Mobile is now refunding me my money for the note 7 lol. I'll just wait for Note 8.

Does this require a root?

I use a Verizon Note 7 with my tmobile sim. Never receives updates. All of my samsung phones in the last 4 years has been verizon phone using tmo sims. If I ever wanted to get an update I used Kies. I will never connect my note 7 to kies or any samsung SW.

I'm thinking of turning in my phone for a Gear S3. That way I can still use Samsung Pay. I'll just fire up my Note 3 and wait for the Note 8. I'll just keep my two S-pens for the Note 3. They even fit into the Note 3's silo.
