I was bored yesterday and wanted to see if there were any updates, to my surprise there was a update for the gear manager. I installed it last night and apart from the updating process totally bugging out and freezing my phone needing a battery pull to fix....after the restart it installed fine.
I am now getting much better battery life out of the gear...it's at 99% after 3 hours off charger and moderate use. And that's with a watch styler face! So definitely worth doing this upgrade. Also...I would highly recommend uninstalling watch styler prior to the update. Then 're download a new one from the store.
I hope that I see some differences in power management.. So far what was the main issue for me is EXACTLY the same-
1. no change in contacts => they are still listed BY THE FIRST NAME - for me useless as I have a lot of contacts (In CONTACTS - GEAR Watch displays contact names listed by first name – even if they are listed on the NOTE3 by last name - this is true bug)
2. Still no way to see "contacts" and "favorite contacts" => You can only see one OR the other - I need BOTH!
Please list here things You would like to get - maybe SAMSUNG guys are reading this forum... for me:
- predefined SMS answers for the incoming calls
- battery level on the main screen (can be done through watch styler)
- ability to display temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity… (all of those sensors are in NOTE3... but maybe some of them on the watch as well?)
- seconds on the main screen
- calculator
- compass
when going to the Samsung store it prompts to install on device.
On device it does nothing when trying to update. Anyone else getting this same issue?

I just installed on phone, then had to re pair and restore to the gear.
If your having issues, uninstall gear manager and 're install

Well that worked and fixed alot of the problems i've been seeing (Contact sync, Call history, etc)
I think i lost my root though. It did a reset of the gear. I probably could have stopped it but before i realized what i did...it was too late.
I just lost root as well, it tried to restore but got to 94% then error.

I've found that un-installing Gear Manager and resetting the Gear is the most reliable way to do the update.

Anyway I can get an apk of this somewhere? Still waiting for them to update my Mega to 4.3 and so far haven't gotten my brick watch to work properly on the older gear manager apps.
Can someone please upload the newest update. It would be greatly appreciated

I'm seeing v1.2.131013 (23 Oct) (This is the regular Samsung app store (search for Gear) not the gear app store (LOL so confusing)
The install hung on me at 3 of 19 but rebooted my phone and it installed fine over the other version when it came back up,

Interesting. They must've updated the app version number, but not the store version number. I just checked my app (the apk I posted before) and it is actually the 131013 version!

V1.5.121601 issue
so I woke up this morning all happy about the latest Gear Manager update and the fact that going into notifications and selecting more notifications showed the texting app I use Textra. Selected it and tested and sure enough it worked just fine, now that part happened on the 26th. Back to this morning (27th) and there is another update version 1.5.121601 and without asking me the little beastie proceeded to update. We all know the routine after the update, comes the restore question I answered 'yes' finished. Went into gear manager (yes the watch did install) and selected Notification > More Notifications, and that where the program froze. after about 2min it came up with an informational prompt "Gear Manager isn't responding. Do you wish to close it?" elections were Wait and OK. choosing Wait gets a 2min wait time and then the same message, OK closes out the program and then restarts it.
I have,
set everything back to factory resulting in same result
reset the watch and the note 3 resulting in same result
uninstalled/reinstalled Gear Manager same result
any ideas or is there a way to roll-back to the previous version
thanks for reading :fingers-crossed:
Does anyone have issues? Ask them here! I or someone else will try to get them answered for you!
I can help with:
Galaxy Gear stuff
Bluetooth issues
Phone issues (That connect to the Gear!)
Any issues with rooting
Issues with the Null ROM

And more!

I updated the gear to MK7 and gear manager to 1.5 and cannot receive notifications on the gear. Everything is turned on in gear manager. Any suggestions?

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!

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.

You should, yes.
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!

I updated while running Null_16 all apps and Null working fine no loss of anything (Rooted stock Note 3)
I got the update through Samsung app store this morning. Don't see any difference. However, I did notice that two version previous fixed S-voice on the Note 2. The last update made s-voice worse and now with this most recent one, S-voice is again improved. Maybe its a bug fix? idk.
I've updated but... am i wrong or in "old" versions of Gear Manager we had Gmail notifications as primary and not under other notifications? I'm not sure...

Only an additional app in the utility called Sogou Voice Assistant, which is only usable if you are chinese ... However, that does mean it would be possible to perhaps integrate other voice assistants including Google Now at some point.
Other than that it might be more of a bug fix. I wish we could get a changelog though.
What I observed in the last update is the gmail notification rollup all pending mails when a new one arrive instead of showing last one only.
Took the update and now my gear running null 15 will not connect to my Note 3.

GMail Notifications
After the update I am able to receive notification for only one gmail account. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and was able to receive notifications for all the accounts before the update. Is there any solution to this?
getting a notice/error
I just put nullgear_16 on the gear this morning, i had a hard time getting gear manager installed. I ended up using the earliest version i could find 1.2.131013. the watch paired and everything was good. then i installed 1.5120903 over top of it. I got the message that it needed to update with samsung apps. which i didn't have installed. so i found an old apk, installed it, updated it to the newest version. installed Gear Manager 1.5.121601 and now I get a notice that says:
Unable to connect to the Gear.
Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated.
Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software.
I'm on 4.3 eclipse, I don't know what it could be complaining about.
Updated to an MK2 rom (Eclipse) Works perfectly except for weather settings aren't available on the watch or Gear Manager.
Yeah this gear manager update is also broken. I was missing notifications from gmail again. It was nice for a bit and then stopped. I liked that I separated the subject line but would not notify on the 2nd email if I didn't clear the notification on my phone like atn did.
I really wish they would fix this foreclosed app issue when connecting to wifi on the note 3
The annoying change on this update is that once I get one email through Gmail, it sometimes will renotify me as soon as a new email comes in. So I could have it go off 5+ times from prior email notifications. Hopefully it's a bug.
Update also made me do a restore of my Gear and I'm running stock. It's a mess.

I wish there was a way to undo the update and go back to the previous gear manager version. Does anyone know how I can get back the USA gear manager version right before this new update this evening. I want the one that came out by samsung two weeks ago.
Also, my speakerphone is horrible with this update. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem
Like someone said this is a total mess!!!
So I see that Sleep Genius for Gear is now available in the Gear Manager App Store, but I cannot seem to download/install, etc. I have VZW Note 3. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I also had this problem (or similar). I installed it and the app would say "View in Gear Manager", but it was never there.
It sucked to do this, but I had to reset the Neo and uninstall/reinstall Gear Manager and then reinstall Sleep Genius. It works now, but I hope someone else has a better solution
Anyone received this message? I can't seem to install temple run, and a whole buck of other games. I keep on getting this error message of the game not being able to install.

After trying to use my Gear VR this morning it told me to take it out again and install aps. So I did and the "Gear VR setup wizard" came up and downloaded the VR Installer and App Manager. Headset was working fine last night
After d/l it tries to install but errors out, it only says "install error".
No idea why or how to fix it, tried to reinstall it 5 times so far. It d/l each time and tells me install error every time. getting ready to reinstall all of it.
I tried to reinstall as well and I can't seem to install any other games...

OK, something is wrong. I uninstalled everything, deleted all related folders. When i put the phone into the headset it tells me to take out the phone just like it should. I take out the phone and start the install process. It gives me a list of apps its going to d/l and then starts the download. Here is when it does the same thing as before, finished d/l and tried to install for a second and comes back with an "install error". So now I'm stuck with no way to install any VR apps on my phone.
Could this be a fault on Samsung's side? Everything was working great last night.
I must ask. Are you using factory rom and snapdragon device. Maybe latest updated apps have compability problem. All my apps are up to date and no problem on my side. Using stock rom.

No, Stock phone. But I found out what happened. I froze some ATT apps on my phone. Once I unfroze all apps everything worked again. Not sure what one was the cause, I had only picked the obvious ATT bloatware apps and things like Facebook and some Google apps.
I'll have to go back and freeze one by one to see what one was the cause of preventing Oculus apps from running.
I'm using downloading games from the store option on the left of the home screen on the gear vr and I have the AT&T version of the note 4 model SM-N910A.

I had this exact same error when I was initializing gear vr on my S6. I also debloated the rom a little bit before this. It seems it's these two facebook apps that should not be debloated, thus reinstalled under the name of vr installer and appp manager. Now I'm reminded that fb required Oculus.
vr installer: com.facebook.system 1.0, /data/app/com.facebook.system~1/base.apk
app manager: com.facebook.appmanager 8.0, /data/app/com.facebook.appmanager-2/base.apk
