Hey guys,
Just got a Gear and trying to get it working with my Nexus 5.
I have read through the guides and always get stuck with connecting Gear Manager;
Flashes installing 0/2
Connect Manually; if I am already connected via Bluetooth it disconnects and never finds the device
Connects, takes me to a restore option.
Selecting either Restore or Reset will fail and start the process over.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I had that previously too. Thats because you have previously made a backup using Galaxy Manager.
Delete the backup file on your phone and factory reset your gear, it should work
That did it!
Thanks for your help.
wanted to advise where the backup file is but I couldn't remember so perhaps you can post it here for others to reference
Root of your SDCARD, .bs_backup or something.
Right now trying to get the latest Gear Manager to work so I can use Watch Styler but the phone won't seem to sync.

I don't think any apps work if gear manager doesn't work. And gear manager doesn't work (fully) if not on a touchwiz rom
Gear Manager 1.6.111801 works fine on my Nexus 5 but I can't get Watch Styler to work.
Well, I actually got it updated to the latest Gear Manager release by just updating after the previous version worked.
Reinstalled Watch Styler and Force Stopped Gear Manager but still no luck; I cannot see Watch Styler Clock under Gear Manager > Clocks as an option

Yes, gear manager will work on any phone, it just won't work as a middle man if not a touchwiz rom
It's working fine for calls contacts and logs, using ATNotifications for everything else!

Yeah, but they are just standard Bluetooth functions that don't require any 3rd party stuff
This is the issue we've always had since the start

You need to install watch styler on phone version 1.0.9 during installation keep paired the phone and gear manager status connected... After that you can change style clock, after installing it. Close all. Close hear manager and open again and going to the application menu and go back. Open clock and appear watch styler clock.

Dear i have galaxy manager installed on my nexus 5 and also have watch styler installed. But when i try to change face using watch styler it take me to the galaxy manager but i can't see the watch styler in the galaxy manager. Please guide me how i can use it
hello guys
today i bought a galaxy gear. Previous i read that it is possible to connect the gear with my nexus 5. But i tried many gear managers but by version 1.2 ans 1.6 connections fails by higher versions the app crashes.
I hope you can help me. Please give me the link to the gear manager that you use maybe a an ibstruction too.
Thanks
Hi XDA, I'm new to the gear and new to the forum. I just followed a guide on how to sideload apps using ADB. I am able to successfully install these apps, but am not able to see them on the list of apps on my phone or on my Gear when they are paired. If I disconnect the gear from my phone and reset the gear, I'm able to see these apps. Does anybody have any idea?
I also installed NOVA and then changed the default of the home button to always be touchwiz (since I want my Gear to be more like a watch and not a mini tablet), but have no way to go to Nova unless I disconnect and reset my Gear. Any ideas or help? Thanks.
I've noticed this too. My gut feeling is that its going into gear manager on my phone that does it as that only lists the conventionally installed apps rather than the side loaded ones.

I'm having the exact same issue.
If I reboot my watch with bluetooth off, my sideloaded apps show up with no issues. The second I enable bluetooth and my watch and phone connect, the apps get hidden. Are there any solutions to this problem?
I'm using a GG with null23 on it and a rooted GS3 with CM10.2.1 on it. I've gone through and installed the latest Gear Manager from Brendo's thread, and the phone and GG paired up through Gear Manager. However, I can't access the settings menu through Gear Manager that everyone keeps referring to enable notifications and whatnot. The GM homescreen shows my watch, but when I click on it it shows an installing screen and quickly shows and hides a box (like probably shows it 4 or 5 times a second) that says "Unfortunately, ConnectionManager has stopped" (occasionally the message stays up) . After that, it just goes back to the GM home screen. Anyone have this happen to them/have any ideas?
Thanks!
hi i have N7105 with gear 1, latest tizen.
i tried to install "low energy clock" its watch face that supposed to always on. just search on samsung app store you will find it (one is free one is pro) - i tried the free.
during installation i got this "host failed" etc etc.
I cant find the watch face in my list of installed app both in samsung gear app on mobile or on the gear itself, but when i go to samsung app store to re install, it will show "move to gear manager" instead of "install" button (mean i already install it) - but cant find it anywhere.
any idea how to solve this?
thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having a similar issue
i emailed the developer but still cant fix this. the only way is to reset gear watch but then you need to reinstall everything.
but now i get it to work.
maybe, try not to install alot of watch faces at the same time, do one by one
Hey everyone,
I just got a Galaxy Gear 1 and updated it to Tizen. I paired it with my HTC One, and everything works fine, but I'd like to get a few more apps for the gear, maybe a calculator and a weather app or something. I searched google, but I can't find a place I can download Tizen apps or wgt files without using the gear manager, which doesn't give me an option to download apps on my non samsung phone. So my question is obviously where can I get these apps?
In the gear manager app on your phone there is an selection for gear apps, you may need to set up a Samsung account.
