Ditto.
Can someone pleast post the apk for those of us that can't get it from the store?
Thank you in advance.
I ended up uninstall in the update to gear manager and reinstalling it. Lost my root though on the gear. Have to wait till I get home to see if it will root again. I think it updated the software version on the gear.
What is the software version you all have on the gear currently?
I'm currently at: V700XXUAMII (software version)

Gear Manager Version 1.2.131011 is what I have here and loaded it on Monday (10/21/2013).
Watch says V700XXUAMII
BTW, I have always seemed to get about two days per charge yet use the watch rarely per se, so battery life has been relatively impressive (no custom face loaded).

Got the same version . . Who has a newest one?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk
Here is the latest Gear Manager apk. Suggest uninstalling previous version (seems to be the case each update ) then you need to reset your Gear (this also sucks). I couldn't get restore to work so just had to start again. It kept root, busybox, and my modded camera, but lost my apps (store and sideloaded) photos. You can try uninstalling the seperate parts that the manager installs as that looks to be the main issue with update, but it just reinstalls them. The other issue I found is that you also need to remove your Gear apps so that you can reinstall them
v1.2.131013 (23 Oct): http://www.mediafire.com/download/ibwt5qjpak335d5/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager-1.apk
EDIT: I'm not sure it was in there before, but I see Gmail as an option in notifications (I don't use or even have the app installed on my phone)
EDIT 2: Had posted as 131011 version, however it is actually the 131013 version. Looks like store was reporting incorrect version number

Google Wallet for the HTC ONE.
-Easy fix for viper Rom
-Should work on stock rooted w/ wp . -removed Kernal
-Always save your original build.prop before modifying
Using Rom Toolbox
1. Open up build.prop editor
2. Change the following values
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Save changes
4. Reboot device, install wallet and open
-wallet takes a couple minutes to initialize so be patient, it works great!
5. Restore your original build.prop
This method should work fine on stock rooted also as long as you have a kernal with /system wp removed.
Also, if you don't want Rom toolbox you can navigate to /system/build.prop and open the file in any text editor to make the changes.

Honestly I'm not sure where I got it. I believe that it came from Viperrom. Duce says that it wasn't added in d3rpONE (I noticed mine working while I was on d3rpONE, but I think something restored it from viperrom), and the only other ROM that I've run is Viper's.

Here's the link for the working (non-modified) Wallet apk that I use, with screenshot showing it on my One.
https://www.4shared.com/download/NJgEOM_0/Wallet_16-R96-v16.apk
Just install the apk normally through a file explorer, no need to push with ADB, or do anything in recovery. I uninstalled mine and tested just to be sure.

Ok - so just to confirm (I'm a bit of a newbie) Google Wallet works on the HTC One, but you still have to root the device, yeah? Will using the DevUnlock tool from HTC work, or...?

I tried that, but when it starts up, it says that "Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
I'm on AT&T.
(I guess I'm in the wrong group? I had it running on my AT&T Nexus S just fine, but I really wanted to upgrade
Think rooting would help overcome the problem of being on AT&T? Not sure why it worked on my Nexus S, since it was on AT&T too... I may have bought it as an unlocked phone, originally...
Not sure if there's any difference in support between carriers. Sorry

Just about every hour of the day, I have touched my finger on that "Check Now" button in the System Updates page. It keeps saying I am up to date, although my system software number still says it is 4.2.2. I am on stock android, non-rooted, and I live in the USA. I just don't get it.
Also I am EST, so right now it is 9:18 pm as I post this.
It always takes a day or two for the rollout to get to everyone. Just chill, you'll probably get it by tomorrow.

Android 4.3 Notes:
Based on Android 4.3 release notes, on Enterprise and Security, Restrict Setuid from Android Apps, su binaries and Superuser apps designed for previous Android generation will simply not work on 4.3:
It means preserving root with OTA Root Keeper won't be possible anymore as new rooting techniques rely on more than just a setuid su binary in /system.
I'll look into solution of course to preserve the functionality if possible, but until then please follow Chainfire's job on SuperSU betas.

I believe if your phablet is rooted, you can search for the .apk files from the stock file manager and find the samsung gear manager APK - if not no worries!

I currently have 1.0.5 as well and it seems to just disconnect randomly. The last known working version I had was 1.0.4.. It worked great and the battery didn't drain as much.

I just flashed I537UCUBMI2, this is the first 4.3 for i537, but I found I can't root it! I can't remove the AT&T software and add Chinese language.
I was just want to give up, lucky, I use one Chinese software called “ROOT大师”, you can just search "VRoot" with Google. Now my phone is rooted, and I have removed all the annoying software.
Good luck.
Can you provide a link for this root method and a tutorial on how you used it? This way there is no confusion for anyone. I for one would appreciate it because I've been on mf1 for months now and have wanted to flash the mi2 leak but I've been waiting patiently for root.

This is getting me very anxious. Has anyone else looked into this? I'm at work and not going to be near a computer for a few hours so if anyone has info please share.

Sorry to reply late, because I am in China.
I will show you the steps in brief.
1. Just flash leaked I537UCUBMI2
2. Go to setting, enable the USB debug. Just like other Android 4.X phone, I noticed we should tick always enable to connect to this computer.
3. Install the "root master", this is a Chinese software, maybe something can't display correctly in non-Unicode computers.
Software download:
REMOVED
After install this software, open this software, connect your phone to your computer, maybe need to install some drivers.
4. Just simply click "一键ROOT"， the green button, the phone will restart 2 times, and after that, your phone is rooted.
After your Phone is rooted. The software will show:"三星I537已经拥有ROOT权限“
Sorry, because I cannot post pictures. Just follow the steps, you can make it.
Thanks for replying. I've got everything downloaded and I will try tomorrow after I get off of work. Thanks again.

Be wary of these Chinese root methods. They are known to collect your IMEI number which is not needed for a rooting process. Therefore XDA has not allowed any links to their software at this time.l

Thanks for the heads up. I figured something wasnt right about this. When i searched for this root method every site that i had found was in Chinese which made me start to think about it. Another thing that makes me wonder is that we have had this leak for awhile now and no one else has had success with root and then out of nowhere this pops up. Plus the op doesn't have very many posts here on xda. In going to play it safe and wait on something else.

Rooted anyway. 4.3 is much faster than 4.2.2. Samsung keyboard is better but still doesn't match up to real Swype imo. Battery life is remarkably better. 22 hr 40 mins with 23%. 2 hr 43 mins screen on time. Always died on me before. Seems more stable overall but watchon is broken for me.

Actually piracy is not the most important thing for me. May be this software will collect IMEI or other information, but I think they will not do anything bad, the built-in software is more annoying for me.

Did you use the chinese software?
Kingo root method would probably be better for you than Vroot. Kingo has responded to XDA's request to remove the IMEI collection...it just not has been confirmed but they have always kept communication open with XDA.
Yes I used the Chinese software.

I didn't even look I just installed SuperSU over it. Works perfectly.
I flashed the 4.3 leak and rooted using vroot. I replaced the superuser app with supersu. I'll report back in a few days if I run into any problems.

I asked some expert, the Chinese root method use the "Master Key", by using this bug, almost all Android 4.3 devices can be rooted easily.

Thanks for suggesting Vroot, tried it on friend's S4 active and worked like charm. Although it installed unnecessary app to manage data when connected to PC which i removed using titanium.
DID IT!

I tried it and it works good. After I rooted it I downloaded SuperSU and ROM Toolbox pro and froz VROOT so it wouldnt come back and try something. No problems running AT&T SGH-I537 4.3.3 rooted...
