File Transfer to Gear

Has anybody figured out a way to transfer files via BlueTooth from our phones to the Gear? Right now, I can push/install from my PC/Mac just fine, but I'd hate having to carry around the cradle all the time for my customization needs.

You can do it by installing bluetooth file transfer. You'll have to install this app on your phone and gear. Open it connect it and transfer away...

My point exactly, theres currently no way to transfer files without using a third party application.
Which would mean you would have to use the cradle.

I think the point of the bluetooth file transfer suggestion is that you only have to do it once (i.e., to get the bluetooth file transfer software on the watch) and then you can continue to transfer files without touching the cradle. If the question is how to transfer files without even a single use of the cradle, I think the answer is clearly no with the current set of apps available.

Did anyone succeed with any bluetooth file transfert apk ?

Did anybody succeed to install and use a bluetooth file transfert apk on the gear ?
I tried some apk (such as BlueFTP.apk), using adb to transfert them on the gear... but I have error messages when they launch telling they are not able to get the bluetooth working... so they are able to show the directories....

One way only?
I followed the instructions and was able to browse my phone's files on the gear and transfer them to the gear, but it doesn't seem possible to browse the gear's files on the phone and pull them onto the phone. Am I doing something wrong?
When trying to connect on my phone, I get the message "Service not found. You cannot connect with target device because it lacks of the 'File Transfer Profile' (OBEX FTP) and/or the 'Object Push Profile' (OBEX OPP) Bluetooth services. Make sure that the target device is in DISCOVERABLE mode and enabled to receive files!"

this method is painfully slow though, after u install that app on BOTH, u still have to enable it on BOTH, then pair it, so many steips
i wished that apk filepush works but sadly it doesn't work via BT spoofing
with filepush on my other android devices, i just have to right click the file on my windows 8 computer and send it via filepush!

I use root explorer to send files from my phone to my gear frequently. It can be VERY SLOW to do so though.
By the way I have the gear rooted, ROM is null_23, and have root explorer on the gear. I have sent as big of files as the null Roms and VR themes as well. Also I have used root explorer to send screenshots from my gear with root explorer to my phone, those are normally watchfaces for Watchstyler.

If you don't mind losing setting on the gear you can wipe the gear and start from scratch...
1: Press and hold the power button until it shows:
"Samsung Galaxy Gear
Rebooting..."
2: While on that screen, press the power button 5 times
3: this should bring you to to a menu. cycle through the options and select recovery
4: to choose, press the button for 3 seconds.
5: Wait for it to wipe...
6: Once done, set it up as a new device!
Hopefully that fixes it!
EDIT: When (or if) it asks to restore from a backup, select NO!

I am using a third party app by the same dev that does the K9 email call Melwin, I get a notification of the email with the header but I cant read the email, is it possible to do this with the Gear?? I have the latest Mk7 Null 10.1 and the latest Gear manager app as well. Thanks

Unfortunately that isn't something that is wrong with the gear, it is just the way the Gear Manager formats the notification to be displayed on the gear. There is always the possibility of getting that email app on the gear itself, however!

Make this a sticky please!

Also for some reason it seems that don't have root since it wont let me run root browser.

Well, the Null ROM is pre-rooted... All I can think is try running a root verification app to see if it is truly rootedand Root Browser is misbehaving, or if it is unrooted for some reason...

As long as you follow the Null rom instructions from the page one of the ROM thread - it should be no obstacles. Please read carefully.
Please be aware that in most cases US providers block BT tethering, so for internet access please check it on your phone first.

If you want to keep it stock, download the ROM from here!
It is for Britain, but it works for the USA as well!

What should we be using on installing apps to the gear? Should I keep using WonderShare?

no Bluetooth tethering option on watch
No option in settings<Bluetooth<settings. My only options are rename and unpair. Where is my tethering option?

Ahh, US phones seem to have this issue... Make sure you go into the "more settings" right under the bluetooth and wifi switches select tethering and hotspot and check off Bluetooth tethering. If not, it is a limitation put in place by AT&T. The only thing that would help is a new ROM...or a mod of some sort.

Couple of questions
Just have 3 questions. Is there anyway to increase the in call volume of the Gear? I have it turned all the way up to 6 and its barely audible on a call. I know the little speaker is capable because on youtube clips this thing is crazy loud.
Second question. I have looked everywhere for the 1.5 version of gear manager. I checked the sigs and I still cant find it. Can you post a link to the apk?
Third and last question. How do you toggle the touchwiz and nova launcher?
T.I.A.
Great Rom!

Gear and Tasker...

So what kind of tasks are you guys setting up on your gear ?
Just curious what people have come up with as I am looking for ideas...
Thanks

So far only internet on/off
Others have remotevoice working and shake to launch
Also can just trigger tasks
Next mine will be displaying notification counts on my watch

I just have it on the phone and Gear to enable BT tethering for 5 minutes every hour. That allows my calendar to stay in sync. I have a calendar widget in the home screen of my Gear.

I have mine set to fetch webcam shots of a few watering holes at different safari national parks (so far seen lion, elephants etc) but you can choose any live stream webcam
Also set it up with Joao apps AutoRemote, Auto contacts etc and can shake to voice call any contact by spoken name

Well this is my first app for the Gear. It is pretty self explanatory, it will launch Tasker tasks on your device directly from your watch. I recently got a Gear after my Sony SW2 broke and while the Gear is much nicer to look at I found the lack of apps disheartening. The Tasker app was what I missed the most so I thought I'd start here!
The development for this app has stopped due to hardware changes. Support for the existing version can be gotten from this thread, but no further updates will be made. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Please read the installation instruction carefully and check the FAQ before asking asking for help.
Any and all feedback is welcome!
Features
Start tasks on your device from your watch.
View tasks by project.
Root not required.
Displays a favourites menu for quick access.
Launch tasks on the host through an intent (From the Gear or Host).
Tasker Plugin (Host).
Send messages between the host & the Gear.
Custom notifications for Gear.
Installation
Make sure you have Tasker installed on your phone and "External Access" is enabled.
You will need to allow "Unknown Sources" in the Gear Manager.
Then just install the app on your phone/tablet.
It may take a few seconds to establish the initial connection. Please be patient
For more detailed information and a step-by-step guide see this video!​

FAQs
Q: Does this app support the null_ rom?
A: Yes, though this is only possible thanks to fOmey for his help testing.
Q: Does this app require root/null_ to work?
A: No, there is no special requirement for this app.
Q: How do I turn on "Enable Access" in Tasker?
A: Open Tasker and press the Menu Button. Go to Preferences, then the UI tab. Check the box that says "External Access". Make sure to close Tasker so that the settings are saved.
Q: How do I enable "Unknown Sources" on my Gear?
A: Open the Gear Manager and tap on Settings. Scroll the the bottom (under Security) and make sure the box "Unknown Sources" is checked.
Q: I can't get X to work in Tasker. / How do I do X with TasGear?
A: There are plenty of tutorials around for Tasker, but unless it is a specific problem with TasGear then I ask that you refrain from posting your question here. This thread was set up to give examples of how Tasker/TasGear can be used.
Q: I can't see the notification on my phone/tablet! / I can't see the TasGear app on my Gear!
A: Make sure you install the app on your phone/tablet and not your Gear. You don't need to side load this app
Q: I have X problem, how do I fix it?
A: Make sure you have correctly installed the app by following the installation instructions and the notification on your phone/tablet says connected. Try restarting both devices and checking External Access is enabled in Tasker.
Q: Can I start a task on the Gear by sending a message from the host?
A: No. I am not running null on my Gear and therefore have no way to test Tasker interaction on the Gear. If this changes I'll let you know!
Q: Can I install TasGear on a non-Samsung device?
A: Maybe! You will need to install Gear Manager first! You can follow this tutorial to get it set up. Skip steps 10 to 12, the notification app no longer exists. This is a good alternative. Thanks to @technologicrepair and @Brendo for the research in to this.
Q: Can TasGear create widgets on the Gear?
A: No. The stock version of the Gear's firmware does not support widgets. If you have null rom you can use Tasker to pass information through TasGear to your phone though. See the examples thread to find out how to do this.

Hey Radimus, What device do you have? Is it rooted? Is your GG rooted? Any sideloaded apps?
I'm afraid I haven't had an opportunity to test on other devices/conditions, I'd love some additional info.
The loading indicator appears when it is retrieving the task data from your device (which is a good sign as it means the connection was successful )

Grab the new version if you can, but the problem should go away if you enable External Access in Tasker (You can find it under Preferences > Misc > Allow External Access).
Thanks for the prompt feedback

As far as I'm aware the only way to add a shortcut to the Gear's main pages is through the Gear Manager on your device.

Hey Jeshter, I'm gonna need more information. The previous loading problem was due to "External Access" not being enabled in Tasker. This should no longer cause a crash, so you must have a different problem
Can you tell me what device you are using, if you have modified your device (root or custom firmware) and if you have modified your Gear (root or custom firmware).
Thanks!

Okay, have you modified the Gear in any way?
So you have Tasker installed and set up. You will need to run it at least once and enable "External Access". Make a task just so you have something to see on the watch, it doesn't matter what it does for now.
Reinstall the TasGear app afterwards just to be sure. Then restart both the phone and the watch.
See if that helps Remember to wait for your watch to reconnect to the phone before starting TasGear.

lock device on boot

Hello, Im running a Malaysk ROM and I dont find a solution to lock the device on boot. For example requesting a PIN o similar way commonly used on the phones.
I booked a car park into airport for the next Saturday and they need to have car keys in order to could move the car. In that way, when they access the car, they also could access to the Radio so potentially they could read my email, calendar, chat and also using internet with my chrome saved password......
Any suggestion?

If you have your phone and are away from your car they have no access to its data. Maybe only your contacts if you uploaded them to the hu.

Yes but its not so hard to connect the radio to the park wifi or them phone tethering. Ty
