I have used DataSync+ application with my phone and Nexus tablet and I found it also works with the Gear. You need to have it installed on the Gear by using the PlayStore on the Gear.
Essentially this app needs to be installed on your phone and gear. It is used to transfer any application (and it's data if you want) that you have installed on your phone, and install/transfer it over to your Gear. I was able to get Tablet Talk that was on my phone and install it over on my gear with no issues at all. It works on any app. I also used it to transfer/install SwiftKey that I use on my phone over to the gear. Now the keyboard is much bigger (almost the whole screen) and easier for quick responses to texts in Tablet Talk.
For those HTC One users, I have almost every thing working on my gear with the only exception being the Notifications and Svoice. But that is solved with Tablet Notifications and Tablet Talk with Swift Keyboard. Everything else works fine, media controller, contacts, dialer, camera, gallery (push photos), find my device, call logs, etc.
I have the HTC One running with the ViperOne 3.1 RC2 | 3.62.401.1 | Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 ROM. & Gear with Null 11.1 Rom
Now this would be great info if you explained to us who are not tech savvy on how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear. You start off your rcommendation by statin we use the app to transport applications onto our gear, but you never explain how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear as a start point.
I spent an entire dayt trying different ways to get apps onto my phone by using the ADB method, etc. I did not want to go with the MObileMe method because people said it burns battery. Caught fits. So i would really be grateful if you would take a moment and walk me thru on how to get AppSync+ application on my gear so I can begin to port over apps to the gear---By the way this does not reqiure rooting does it?

You must have not read my second sentence where I mention using the play store from your Gear. Bluetooth tether the Gear to your phone, launch the play store from the gear, search for DataSync+ and download it and install to your Gear.
The APP does not require Root.
I mentioned in my original post the name to be AppSync+, but the name is actually DataSync+. MY APOLOGIES

Thanks for your prompt reply and for your patience.
I am going to spend the day doing this but since i am new to the tech scene I will need a few basic points (I know i am so new at this I really ought not be posting on XDA). From an elementary standpoint, I know my gear does not have the play store on it. When I "tether" the gear to my phone does opening the play store on the PHONE cause the play store to open on the gear and then be downloaded. I simply do not know how the tethering process works to download the play store to my phone.
Please don't give up on me as I really want to do what yoy recommended to me in this thread

SW,
No biigie, we were all beginners at one point. The way I tether is by having the Null 11.1 rom on my Gear. Once that process is complete and during the process of installing the rom you will see an option for gapps. Install it so the playstore app is included. once that is complete and you have paired your phone you then go to the settings app from the rom (blue icon) and click on bluetooth. you will see the phone you have paired to. Scroll to the bottom and click on the tethering option. You then have to enable tethering on your phone also. Once that's done and you are tethered you open up the playstore app on the Gear, enter your gmail account info then you search for Datasync+, then you install it.

To help clarify, does the Phone need to be Rooted? Data sync is saying this is required, once I installed it. Thanks.

1) Download and install on your PC or Mac Wondershare MobileGo (Free Trial) - I cannot post the link - but u can find it on Google
2) Set the Gear to USB Debug and connect it through a USB cable to PC
3) MobileGo will download the drivers then it will recognize the connected device as Samsung SM-V700
4) MobileGo will also install its app on your Gear.
5) Now you can navigate the upper left menu including "Google Play Apps" from which you can install any app to your Gear, just click the app icon and then click on the green install button.You can check the process clicking "Downloads" on bottom left.
6) On the menu in the upper left of MobileGo under the menu "Apps" you will have access to all apps installed on Gear, clicking on this menu you can see all your installed apps and install or uninstall any app on your Galaxy Gear.
See some screenshot of MoblieGo.
I hope I was helpful
Thanks
Going to try it out.

How to install to GEAR? The Play Store cannot see my GEAR listed.
For never install apps, it will download, but for apps I had install at others device, it can't download.
Most cannot install...
Same for me, actually I can't install any app with your method from click on Google Play Apps, he ask me to login with my account and then don't offer to install on the gear
Sometime don't ask to log in and then add to dosnload list but don't want download, get error ;(
Edit : If I install app direct fril the option this work. But was Google Map and no internet on the watch, so was useless
Click install and then cancel and then install again most work after the second attempt
Mine says that my device is sleeping and won't work,what should I do?
Here it's working fine and installing any App from Google Play, as show on the screenshots, I installed Smart Launcher using MobileGo. Of course don't have to sign in on Google Play otherwise the apps will be installed only to the registered devices. Honestly I'm using the MobileGo Pro version which giving many more features to the program and may be this the issue that may not allow to install apps to devices non registered on Google Play like Galaxy Gear.
Working great for me!

Yeah! Without signing in, I can install more apps, but this means I can't get any paid apps that I already buy get install...
At least work for free apps, thanks a lot.
So easy, this is awesome! I finally have the calculator and calendar apps that i needed! Also running Nova launcher!
It's a nice app but too expensive to purchase. It will be useful for the free period of 14 days.
I found installing the apps that I want on my Note 3 and then, pushing the apps via ADB to Gear works just as well at no extra cost.

Fully charge phone this morning at 7:45am and 5 hours later, I am at 43% battery. Just turned the brightness to 4 and rebooted the gear. I think the MobileMe app which asks for wifi to be connected is draining the battery while trying to search. I have gone and closed all apps running in the background and will monitor for the next hour to see what the % looks like then.
Is there a way to remove the auto installed MobileMe app during this process.
Ian B
Update: An hour later and the battery was already in the 30s%. Ended up resetting the gear, charging for an hour and now, my battery is back to normal. Charged to 84% and an hour later, I am still at 80%. The Mobileme app and calculator app were removed by system when I reset the Gear.
Going after work to exchange this mocha brown color(only one in Austin available) for the Lime Green one at BB.

Can you elaborate on how you push the apps via adb? are you pushing from your phone? or backing up with titanium or something similar?
This works perfect.
Thanks.
I've just play with Fruit Ninja.
ES explorer works well too.

can you get some sort of a small-sized phone functionality? i mean, place browser shortcut, install reddit client, use other calculators, show calendar etc?

You need to install ADB on your PC and use it in the command prompt window to install the apps on the gear.
You will need to be familiar with ADB commands like "adb install c:\director\filename" to install the app to the Gear, with the Gear's USB Debug option turned on and connected to your PC via USB cable.

Can you describe this process ?
Youre just pushing Note 3 APKs to the Gear ?
If you have for example Instagram on your phone and Gear...are both of them looking for updates ?
Thanks , working great. I even have a task killer for the hard to shut down apps, like Riptide2. It run great on this Gear.
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 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.

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:

You are not supposed to have sideloaded apps. Or that is what Samsung implies, now you could use Helium or Titanium with cloud backup if you are rooted, otherwise loose the data each time you upgrade and install them again. Most apps meant for the gear are a combination of software on the phone and on the watch and probably store the data on the phone anyways.
To backup my apps and restore I use.. Wondershare mobile go..
It is fast and easy. Before you update Gear manager, just do a manual backup with Wondershare.,( select Toolkit /one lock backup or restore.)
note 3/note8.0 for xda
I hate it that it does it too. Funny thing, all my ringtones, notifications and videos r still there after it restores.

If you put your app apk's in /system/app instead of /data/app they won't disappear on upgrades
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Another solution would require a bit of coding, a phone application without a launcher activity and APK files in assets folder and a few tweaks in the AndroidManifest.xml (I got one from ATNs phone app) would do a proper install of the apps through gear manager and they will survive the upgrades.
EDIT: not coding but you will need the IDE and SDK and know how of the process.
How about keeping root?
And now my MobileMe trial ends today. Damn it, may have to break down and pay for it. If anyone seems any discount codes, please post.

Keep a directory of all your apps on your desktop, reinstalling with wondershare is a breeze !
I also back up all my configurations, being novalauncher, tasker & widgets. You simply restore them once you reinstall your apps. They generally are stored on the SDCARD.
It shouldn't be a big bother, if you stay organized.
I full wipe my gear atleast 6 times a day (development purposes) and reinstalling everything literally takes 2 minutes at the most.

I don't have any sideloaded apps but one app I use from the Play store keeps getting deleted if I open the gear manager. When I install FEEDLY news reader it works fine and I can use but as soon as I open Gear Manager the app disappears from the phone.
When I go to install it from Google Play, it downloads and then this window appears with a Gear Manager unknown sources. I click OK to accept and it works and stays on the phone as long as I don't open gear manager.
It's starting to get me cheesed off as I use this app every day for news reading and having to reload it every time is really not good.
Loading any other app from Google Play seems to be OK and never shows this window.

I've been copying the apks to the "sdcard" then I just push the root explorer app to the watch and copy the apks back to data/app or system as needed. A little extra work but pretty quick that way.
Other backup with that wonder app. Would be great to automate it without needing a pc.

Found the system folder in apps with Airdroid, so I've copied the apk's to it.
Just use titanium backup. It will keep your applications and data backed up. It has a batch restore so the apps are right back in the same state as before they were deleted. It also has the nice feature of exporting apps from your phone directly to the Gear over bluetooth. No more worries about side loading with that functionality.
My problem is that apps disappear from my gear's app drawer every time I open gear manager. If I restart the gear, sideloaded apps appear in the app drawer again. Ive used adb fasboot to sideload the apps. What do i need to do so that apps stick and dont dissapear?

Im on the most recent GM provided by samsung apps, on a BNA3 firmware. Ive read and moved side loaded apps to system/app from data/app and it didn't do anything. are the only ones having this problem with the adb method?
I am sure Samsung is exercising control and trying to tell you what to run, and this I am not crazy about.
I have not sideloaded anything yet but it should be my right.

Has anyone figured out how to trigger a voice input event from the Gear and have Tasker on the phone run the command? Would this involve installing paid APKs on the gear? I own Tasker and AutoVoice but not sure how to get either onto the gear as paid apps. Does this have to wait for the playstore to get onto the Gear?

Easiest way is a Chrome Plug in which will let you download any playstore app to your PC than install with wondershare or copy over and run the app on the phone

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I just got finished tinkering around with my galaxy gear over the last 2 days (got it for xmas =)) and I figured out a way to get internet tethering working on a non rooted stock note 3. I will post a quick guide shortly. I'm not very good at writing them and I am assuming you know how to root and install/sideload apps by yourself either with wondershare or adb commands. Will be up shortly =)
I used EasyTether for this as I had purchased it awhile ago and they had a bluetooth tablet app that I could use. I have not tried this with PDANet/FoxFi but I am pretty sure it should work as it is a similar setup.
-- Setting Up
0. Plug your galaxy gear into the cradle and you should be running Null rom and have usb debugging/unknown sources enabled...
1. Start by downloading the reverse usb tethering app from xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
2. Use WonderShare or adb push to install
HackConnectivityService.apk
installed.apk
3. Open the newly installed "USB Tunnel" app on your galaxy gear
4. Start up AndroidTool.exe on your pc and hit the connect button
5. After about 20 seconds your gear should prompt for a superuser access screen. Go ahead and hit ok or grant access
6. After the connection is made you should now be able to open the google play store and sign into your gmail account. If google account manager crashes, continue on to the next step and try again after step 11.
7. On your galaxy gear goto the regular android settings screen and click on the Xposed section. Click on framework and go ahead and update/install the framework and reboot the galaxy gear.
8. With the galaxy gear now rebooted, go into the android settings -> xposed -> and this time hit the modules button. Scroll down and click on the hackconnectivity application. With that app now enabled go ahead and reboot the galaxy gear again. (not sure if necessary but I think I recall it saying it has to be rebooted)
9. With the gear now properly setup return to the android settings -> xposed -> modules -> hackconnectivity and click on the WIFI button.
10. Your galaxy gear will now assume its internet connection will always be wifi even if connected via usb or bluetooth
11. You should be now able to sign into your gmail account by click on the playstore icon if you were not able to before.
-- Getting Tethering Working
12. Using either the PlayStore or sideloading the Amazon Appstore - download Easytether on your phone - and on your galaxy gear install the Easytether Tablet application.
13. Open the Easytether application on your phone and and select Bluetooth Tethering
14. On your galaxy gear open the EasyTether Tablet app and select your phone from the list of devices on the bottom of the screen. After the connection is established your galaxy gear should now be online with bluetooth and feel free to remove it from the charing cradle.
15. I was able to install Netflix on my watch, login, and start an episode of Star Trek while I was writing this for you guys. I hope this gets you guys online with your watches! =)
I will have to check this out and let ya know if I can get it to work. I switched to an international rom just to get native Bluetooth tethering. This will be a nice option for others that don't have a working solution
Nice work and write up.

4. Start up AndroidTool.exe on your pc and hit the connect button
5. After about 20 seconds your gear should prompt for a superuser access screen. Go ahead and hit ok or grant access
6. After the connection is made you should now be able to open the google play store and sign into your gmail account. If google account manager crashes, continue on to the next step and try again after step 11.
7. On your galaxy gear goto the regular android settings screen and click on the Xposed section. Click on framework and go ahead and update/install the framework and reboot the galaxy gear.
8. With the galaxy gear now rebooted, go into the android settings -> xposed -> and this time hit the modules button. Scroll down and click on the hackconnectivity application. With that app now enabled go ahead and reboot the galaxy gear again. (not sure if necessary but I think I recall it saying it has to be rebooted)
9. With the gear now properly setup return to the android settings -> xposed -> modules -> hackconnectivity and click on the WIFI button.
10. Your galaxy gear will now assume its internet connection will always be wifi even if connected via usb or bluetooth
11. You should be now able to sign into your gmail account by click on the playstore icon if you were not able to before.
-- Getting Tethering Working
12. Using either the PlayStore or sideloading the Amazon Appstore - download Easytether on your phone - and on your galaxy gear install the Easytether Tablet application.
13. Open the Easytether application on your phone and and select Bluetooth Tethering
14. On your galaxy gear open the EasyTether Tablet app and select your phone from the list of devices on the bottom of the screen. After the connection is established your galaxy gear should now be online with bluetooth and feel free to remove it from the charing cradle.
15. I was able to install Netflix on my watch, login, and start an episode of Star Trek while I was writing this for you guys. I hope this gets you guys online with your watches! =)

This is a nice work around ! Although you should simply only have to load the xposed module & activate tethering by what ever means you choose. A few of these steps are not required.
I think I might include this xposed module by default in my rom to save you guys the hassle. If this is confirmed working someone please send me a PM and I will include it by default.
Doesn't seem to work after reboot.

I can confirm that it works. I'm on stock ATT Note 3. All the steps weren't required like you said. I loaded the module and installed easytether on both the gear and phone.

Hey guys, long time lurker here. I just got finished tinkering around with my galaxy gear over the last 2 days (got it for xmas =)) and I figured out a way to get internet tethering working on a non rooted stock note 3. I will post a quick guide shortly. I'm not very good at writing them and I am assuming you know how to root and install/sideload apps by yourself either with wondershare or adb commands. Will be up shortly =)

Confirmed working. I installed the HackConnectivityService.apk, then installed PdaNet Tablet, then installed PdaNet+ on phone. Activated HackConnecticityService in xposed. Then rebooted.
Activated and connected PdaNet on both devices. Opened Browser, browser worked. Then opened Google play tryed to connect. "Google Play crashed" (That is what was expected) Then enabled HackConnectivity in the app settings to Wifi. Re atempted connecting with "Google Play" I was able to setup and login.
Nice work, but yes less steps worked. :good:
@fOmey - This would be a wonderful addition to Null_ US users could now use Google Play. And PdaNet+ is free So the original way of getting Bluetooth works, we were just missing this xposed plugin.
Is there any way to do this with the gear running the stock rom?

Have not tested this but, You should be able to. Just install xposed and HackConnectivityService and then install what ever connecting software you perfer. PdaNet is free, I would recommend that to start with.

i am on Verizon N3. My Watch is Stock with root.
I installed the HackConnectivityService.apk, then installed PdaNet Tablet, then installed PdaNet+ on phone. Activated HackConnecticityService in xposed. Then rebooted.
when i tick the PdaNet+ "Activate BT Service" i get an alert " Internet not detected on your phone. Please make sure you have good data service and try again" it happens every time so i cant get past this part to try and connect to N3.
any thoughts?
thanks

On your phone open PdaNet+ check "Activate Bluetooth Server" Say Yes to making your phone visible.
On your Gear open PdaNet Tablet click "Configure" then click "Android Bluetooth" Click "Tap here to start scanning.." You should see your phone's's name appear, Click on it, That should bring you back to the main PdaNet screen on the Gear. Then if you look at the bottom you should see part of a button, just a small part. Click on it. Sometimes it's hard to do so, but just keep trying you'll click it. once click you should see PdaNet is connected!
So if you can't get past the phone portion with PdaNet+, try disabling your WiFi and see if that works. Try opening a web page and make sure you have internet access.

when i tap the second barely visible button i get a black screen and then when i get phone screen back on i get "PdaNet Tablet has stopped" i tried rebooting the phone a couple times, ticking/unticking the built in phone BT tether option and all tries lead to "PdaNet Tablet has stopped" after i discover and select my phone and hit that barely visible button.
not sure if there is anything else i can try?

On your phone try disabling your WiFi, try opening a web page and make sure you have internet access. If you do then on your Phone Open Pdanet+ and see if you can select "Activate Bluetooth Server" if you can, then go back into your gear, PdaNet Tablet and try to reconnect them, once your done reconnecting them then try clicking that hidden button. (Alternatively you can try open the browser on your gear instead and see if a web page opens.

Really odd. Not sure what is causing the issue. Check out Google play there are other options available instead of PdaNet. (not that I dont want to continue to help ya, just not sure where to go from here for ya other than that.)
(Also don't want to hijack this thread. Sorry Man)

thanks for the help and if the point of the thread is to get tethering working then i feel that is what we are discussing and should help all of us
I know the steps are reducible but I just wanted to give everyone the best chance of success doing this. Glad I could help you all out. I was kinda rushing writing because I was excited I could help and I had to write it before my lady got home and would yell at me for tinkering around and not watching a movie with her . Cheers
