There is a new S Health update in the Samsung store that lets you sync your Gear with Walking mate now!
I can't see this in the Samsung store on my Note 2 for some reason... Any chance you could upload the apk?
Is this update on the Gear or on the Phone?
I just tried the S health from the S5 leak and it still syncs with exercise mate.
What Rom is your watch using? Mhoepfin?
I don't understand this post, as mine has been synching for months now with Walking Mate and shows the step counts, and in Exercise Mate I get the calories showing. What am I missing up this new news? Thank you.
Mine is still syncing with exercise mate.
What version is your android?
What version is your Gear Rom? (Ie: mk7, na3, na6, etc)

Mine syncs with the pedometer (S-health on my phone). I am using null_23 na3 I believe on my gear and on my i337 S4 it has android 4.4.2. Gear manager on my phone is 1.6.132701

I have the same gear manager and null rom as you, but 4.3 on Note 3.
But it's sync to exercise mate instead of walking mate.
I think by pedometer, You are using the s5 leaked version of s-health, because in the previous versions is separated into walking and exercise mate.
I tried that too, but that also sync to exercise mate.
Could Samsung have put the fix in 4.4 Kitkat code instead of in s health (where our would be sensible)?

Hold on to your hats!!! I mean Galaxy Gears.... Or even buy up the old ones cheap as they have a larger battery and will obviously be cheaper than the Gear 2 & Neo.
Some of you suggested this which was nice and sensible as it was only a software update, but some clearly thought that GG owners would be left abandoned after just 6 months or less.... There is no icon to roll my eyes as much as I need to here.
Anyway - rejoice as the Jesus watch rises.
Sooo who's first to do the downgrade?
I haven't seen Tizen in person yet, but I'm 100% sure it will not replace Null ROM with my needs.
When one news source publishes something completely unsubstantiated that doesn't make it true. Here's the quote...
There was a worry that there would be no love for the older model, but a Samsung spokesperson confirmed to TechRadar that the Android would be stripped out and replaced with the new OS.
http://www.techradar.com/news/porta...upgrade-original-galaxy-gear-to-tizen-1227889Maybe it's true, maybe TechRadar is phishing for click-throughs. Kind of like re/code saying Samsung was ditching TW to please Google who sold Motorola to please Samsung. No outward sign of either unsubstantiated rumor being true (so far).

Assuming that it will be sidegraded/downgraded to Tizen, then the real issue is the other quote from a Samsung representative, the part that mentions that only the gear 2 and gear 2 neo will have their sdk released and even with Tizen on our original Galaxy Gears, we won't getting any decent apps.

And by extension if you have software development kit you can develop apps that run on Tizen.
The Galaxy Gear will have a some point ..... knowing how fast Samsung is maybe in months run Tizen.
A Tizen app is a Tizen app if it runs on the Gear 2 it will run on the Galaxy Gear (unless the app uses the heart rate monitor)
Other than the heart rate monitor the Galaxy Gear has the same hardware as the Gear 2, it will running Tizen and have exactly the same apps.
Now me I personally do not believe any watch running Tizen will ever have more Apps that a watch running Android but other that no heart rate monitor, maybe a ever so minor improvement on the clock there it no reason buy a Gear 2.
Me at this point I really do not care, I am 95% certain if anything I will get a Gear Fit, and the Gear Fit will not run Tizen or have many if any future apps.

Unless it has some unique api that needs the sdk. Then were screwed.
So good news with respect to Tizen and its feared incompatibility...

Hopefully someone will come up with a free option in converting apps to Tizen. $5000 PER APP is absurd. What about ask the developers who create free apps for android? What about customers who have paid for apps but the developers don't choose to pay 5grand to convert the app to a Tizen compatible version? If developing apps using HTML5 is as easy as Fomey says it is then we may have a shot at getting decent apps for the gear2, but if not...... My choice to hold out for the gear2 instead of getting the galaxy gear will probably bite me in the arse. I wonder if the galaxy gear will be able to downgrade after the Tizen update. If not I better go grab one now...

i'll eat my hat if that will be possible. but it won't. tizen is supposed to be better - according to samsung - so why give an option to downgrade?

I never said it was easy hehe.
Seriously tho, it would be awesome if HTML5 apps have hardware access.. we shall see!
I'll be impressed if they can OTA a whole new OS onto the watch. It's a little shady though. Imagine buying an apple computer, and having them ota windows onto it 6 months later.

Hey everyone:
I have been installing and uninstalling lots of apps and widgets to determine what works on the Galaxy Gear Smartwatch. I've got my Gear Null Rom'med and connected to a Galaxy Note 1 Phone. Since I am not giving up my Note 1, the Galaxy Gear looked to be my only choice thanks to the work of the NULL ROM developer. Mostly everything on the Gear works-- except notifications, weather, and third-party contact apps. I'm looking forward to the SMS developments going on in another thread. My partner also has the same phone and Gear, so I've got two mouths to feed!
Otherwise, these are the best apps for the Gear 1 that I have found so far. I am learning some new stuff too, so there may be a part two in the near future.
Please comment, looking forward to your feedback, and I salute all of the developers who are continuing to hack the Gear device. Thanks guys!

Great to see another Torontonian using the same watch/phone combo that I am! What a fantastic and informative video as well...I can't wait to get home and try out that remote media controller as I have my note automatically connect to a decent set of Bluetooth speakers when I walk in the door. It'll be really cool to control the music from anywhere in the house..
I noticed that you are using a stock touchwizz ROM on your note. What version of gear manager are you using and with what degree of effectiveness? I am using an AOKP kitkat ROM on my note that I absolutely love and don't think I could tear myself from but I may just nandroid and try stock if you tell me that there is greater functionality..
Great video! Nicely edited and covers a lot of mysterious capabilities n features that aren't immediately obvious to beginners-including myself. Nicely done!
PS: Love Google Goggles and Price Rythem for instant product information, nutritional facts, reviews, current pricing! Either scan the bar code or take a picture of the item, and your done!
Runner up would be Pie Controls to quicky access your favorite apps. from your watch face.

Hey fellow Torontonian! Does the KitKat ROM on your Note 1 allow you to keep the S Pen features?
I can only get to Gear Manager 1.2 and basically none of the notifications work-- the Gear Manager is only able to open the Contact app on the phone. The Gear's camera app does transfer photos to the phone automatically. Nothing else works in Gear Manager. I can't give up S Note on the phone, so it hasn't been rooted since Samsung released a JB update a year ago. I wish that SMS and email notifications could work but--- but there's not really any other smartwatch that will work with the Note 1 so I accept these compromises.
Just in case anyone else has the same problem I did...
MapMyRide used to work fine on my note3 and gear1, but the last 2 updates on the phone app (3.0.4 and 3.0.3) don't work with the Galaxy Gear. On the watch, it tells me to install mapmyride on the phone. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both on the watch and phone. Rolled back to v2.9.5 on the phone and it's ok again.
I emailed them and this is the reply I got from MapMyRide :
_____________________
The new updates are only compatible with Gear 2. I know this is frustrating, but we were told by Samsung that Gear 1 owners would be upgraded OTA to the Tizen-based Gear 2 OS. As a result, we planned our app upgrades to only support Gear 2.
We understand this upgrade has not happened. We have contacted Samsung to learn more and will update as soon as we find out more.

well this sounds like tizen could be coming soon
So, I updated to Tizen, but now MapMyRide is not showing up in the Samsung store in Gear Manager.
Is anyone else on Tizen able to see the MapMyRide app in the Gear Manager store?
I'm not sure if it's just because of my region (Thailand), although I could download MapMyRide for the Gear on Android...
Ace 4 and Gear 2 Neo. Running, no app to download
Hello everyone !!! Well I want to check on how I can set you some app to Gear 2 Neo without it being from the Gear Manager. Because when I go to Samsung App from there I jump the poster saying that this device does not support Samsung Galaxy Apps ... hence the clock I got running, I have notifications, I call everything works perfect but it can not be used for any sport since the S Healt can not do walk ... and you install the runtastic the phone but can not the gear that does not let me into the store ....
Not rooted either . Well if anyone has any solution I appreciate !!!
This translated by google XD
Thank You
hey everyone, Just received a samsung galaxy gear smart watch and understand they are not naturally compatible but if anyone knows a work around to get most features to work. I like the style of it being just a plain watch but would love to use it to its fullest. Thanks for any help I get.
Someone has to know something. Still have yet to get gear manager to even install. Every single link on this forum crashes when I open it.
how about NULL?
