Hey all, I just picked up a galaxy gear watch, coming from a Sony smartwatch... Wondering if there is (even with root) an app to change the phone's ringer mode from ring/vibe/silent? There was an app like this for the Sony smartwatch... So, hope there is for gg.... Can't find it or the option..

Built in feature.
I couldn't find it in the features... Sure I can turn the watch sounds on/off, but not the phones (from the watch)

Ohhh ! No, sadly that is not a built in feature..
Sorry I didn't realize what your were asking.
Ah okay, no worries, I thought I was blind in looking through... Hope Samsung (or a crafty dev) might be able to implement this... It was quite handy on my Sony smartwatch when going in / out of meetings (mute my ring tones, etc...)

Why not just keep your phone permanently on vibrate or quiet? You'll get notifications on your watch so you won't miss anything?

I just received my Smart Dock in the mail and they failed to mention that you can't make or receive phone calls or text messages while it's docked. This is a HUGE flaw for me and I probably wouldn't had even have bought this had I known. Yet, it is nowhere mentioned on Amazon or on the Samsung website. I find this very misleading considering its a product for your "smart" phone. I found out by troubleshooting in vain then finally contacting Samsung tech support where it was confirmed.
Someone please crack this open and find a way!

Wow! This may be a carrier customization. Are you going to send it back?
Hmm. Mine works.
Sprint
LJ7 Deodexed ROM
Slightly themed.
I actually keep my BT Headset on so I can answer calls all over my apt without having to undock.

No I'm going to keep it. I'm on Verizon I use it only at night anyways so its ok. Ppl hit me up on Google Talk a lot so I'll maintain.
Here is a screenshot I took from my conversation with tech support. Also, I'm running Eclipse but I don't think the ROM is the problem.

With great respect only you can answer that. The online operating manual is now available for the Sony site. I would suggest you go read it and see if it will perform what you expect of a smart watch or not. Ones mans trash is another mans gold etc..........
Regards.
Thanks...you are correct about what "I" expect from the device. As long as it sends all my texts and emails I'll be good. I work in a dirty factory and hate pulling out my phone

I have it and its ok you can see the text but you cant answer text and you cant respond to text like other smart watches i might return it after a week, theres not many apps either im kinda disappointed
You can reply to anything using s-voice no on-board keyboard. Loving this thing so far and the phone is a big improvement over the note2 (and I loved that phone too).
Absolutely room for improvement and not many apps.. yet. Patience people.

The SMS and Email notifications work great on Gear.
Gmail and Facebook notifications need to work like the above two to be useful and they aren't yet.
Gear seriously needs a calculator app, including a tip calculation function. It's mind boggling that they didn't include one already.
It would also be nice to have a compass function but not sure whether it can support that or not.
can you share a picture taken from great and upload straight to Facebook

Not from the Gear directly, but you can quite easily transfer to the smartphone and then, share from the phone.

its growing on me but it needs playstore access its so good but its bad. the speaker phone is unbelievable the viewing of text is great and this is the best s voice i ever used and i hate s voice, but the bad is the apps the apps is horrible. it needs three things 1. the ability to answer a text with a built in keyboard. 2. Play store access. 3. micro sd slot. If I could get 1 and 2 Ill be happy other than that Im probably going to return it based on google announcement on oct 31
I just saw a Samsung add on FB and it showed a gear getting a call with picture ID. does anyone know if the Gear can do this or is it good Photoshop on the add.
Yes as long as you have a picture set for the person that is calling you there picture will show on the watch.

Not that I know of. When I set my watch up the first phone call I got had a picture of the person calling. Do any of the pictures you have set up already show up on your phone screen when the person calls?

Pictures do work on the watch. It seems to be sporadic IMO. I havent really paid attention to the pattern. I dont know if its a resolution issue or if the pic has to be linked to a certain account on the phone or what. The Samsung kiosk in Best Buy in my area was useless. I knew more about the watch than they did.

you seem to be overreacting. he simply asked how contact pictures works. there is absolutly nothing with using gear with other devices. as it has been stated before, not all functions work.

Sorry if I sounded rude. It is just that if he knows the Gear doesn´t get full functionality with his Nexus, then why is he wondering why he doesnt get caller id and photo.... It is pretty obvious it is for lack of compatibility.
In my case, installing all apks on my htc one (except weather and music, obiusly),extracted from gear manager apk i can see the names of my contacts when they call me. I haven't photos with my contacts to try it

Thank you both for useful posts / help! I re installed the apks from gear manager 1.5 and now works - I have caller ID and photos.
I think I must have missed one apk when installing the first time.
Now to try ang get notifications to work.
As iPhone owners we are looking for a solution to get better interactions with galaxy gear. With the rooted rom the gear it's kinda mini tablet. On ios there is a lot of good pebble app, do you think it's possible to create an apk that could catch over bluetooth the notifications That the ios app it's sending?
Thanks
Lot of people reading this post, but no ideas so far!
C'mon developers!

I have a gear, but there is no iOS app for that, and we (iPhone owners) are looking for a solution, considering that the gear with iPhone it's only a standalone device tethered over bluetooth, a solution was to use one Of the existing iOS pebble app (that got a lot of notifications) paired with another app in android over bluetooth, just to see notifications on the Gear.
Gear doesn't support iphones, iphones don't support gear. Pebble doesnt support gear. (So the answer is no) But pebble does support iphones. Get a pebble. Problem solved.

You are wrong. Pebble does support Gear, cause see it like a phone, but this is not the matter, I'm talking about make different apps in different os to talk together. Pebble it's not involved, we are only using pebble app to try something different.

Supposed that xda it's a board about hacking, developing, and roms, not about using devices in stock way
Hi guys my gear is suffering from very low sound volume from the speaker, I can hear it its just very faint. It used to work fine, here is my set up ...stock NA3 which I have since downgraded to stock mk7 I also downgraded the gear manager and have performed multiple resets nothing seems to help. Is my only hope to send it to Samsung? it works, i just can't hear the bloody thing!

I think I may go to best buy and mess around with their watches and compare sound levels. See if it's normal to be lower or if mine is just low. I feel they should have included the speaker on the actual strap facing you (opposite the camera).
