Hello friends,
Just bought a LG G2 and i'm very interested about the Gear is more beautiful and with much options then the Sony SW2.Anyone have a Gear connected to G2 or in future they will can be connected?
I switched from gs4 to LG g2. I love this phone! But I also love my watch. I've been working on it for along time. I got tablet talk on my gear so it will show my text.
Hopefully an update comes soon so we can use gear on any android phone and have everything working! This will do I suppose.

Thanks in few hours i will receive the Gear and monday the G2 hope to manage to make them friends.
lg g2 and gear
any news to connect with lg g2???
My girl has a Gear and G2, it connects and she can read her call logs and use the media player but doesn't get any notifications. I just installed the gear manager and all the apks associated with it. No issues with connecting to LG G2. Gear is running ML1 update with Null 19 and she is using Gear Manager v1.6.

Yeah, such a shame... I think originally Samsung thought everyone was gonna go nuts over the Gear and that they would sell more phones as a result. But that didn't work out... I think at this point, they should just make it so it works on any phone.

I think you may need the ATN Manager app to get the notifications on the Gear.

Found this on a web:
You can root the Galaxy Gear, you can also install custom ROMs on it. You can then also use it on any android 4.3+ phone.
Check out XDA for all the info.

Only issue right now is that the LG G2 is only on 4.2.2 right now. Until they bring out Kit Kat.
Now I am willing to ROOT/FlASH to whatever rom I need to to make this work (im bored and like the way it looks). I appreciate your swift answer. I have 4 hours to figure this out while Battlefield 4 downloads
Custom rom makes no difference to compatibility
There are several threads here already for non touchwiz rom/phones. Same applies to all of them
Essentially you need gearmanagerstub apk installed in /system/app (check downloads in my sig). Then you get some of the functionality. Pretty much need 4.3 or higher also

My G2 has 4.2.2 (going to install Mahdi ROM tonight)
I've tried to install this apk on my friend HTC One with 4.4, Bluetooth shows connection for few seconds then disconnects right away.
This apk only for G2?

You'll need gear manager. To install gear manager, you need to have gearmanagerstub.apk in /system/app on your phone
Once gearmanagerstub is there, install gear manager, then install the extra 21 apks (2 won't install)

When gm runs for the first time, it installs extra apk files automatically. For some reason this only occurs on touchwiz roms, so you'll need to install them manually instead
If you check the link in my sig, you'll be able to download them all. weather and another wont install unless you have the correct touchwiz apps

Yeah I have a G2 and it works fine. I get calls but most other notifications dont come through. Text/email/weather. This may be limited to my 4.2.2 . What ROM are you flashing to? I would like to know how you like it because I may do that as well if flashing to 4.3 gives added functionality with gear manager. Right now im using the oldest version of gear manager.

Any suggestions?
Please read first:
I have moved on to the HTC One M8, I don't own a galaxy phone anymore, and have sold my gear. I won't be keeping this thread updated anymore, but please refer to Brendo's thread (link below) which he appears to be maintaining. Cheers. ps, i really miss the gear, but am just sick of samsung phones for the moment. can't wait for the moto 360!

Hi All,
Here's some versions of the Gear manager APK I have managed to collect. Hopefully the historical versions might be useful to some, and the current version useful to people wanting to run Gear manager on a non Samsung/Touchwiz phone/ROM.
Latest version, 16th March 2014
1.7.031004 - poor watch battery life? I would stick with 1.6.132701 right now.
Historical versions
1.6.132701
1.6.131003
1.6.111801
1.5.123002
1.5.121601 - this version was a bit buggy
1.5.120903
1.2.131013
If you have other versions feel free to send me a link and I'll host.
For those running non-TouchWiz phones, you might be able to get the Samsung Apps app working by having a look HERE.
HTH.
Changelog
As usual with Samsung, we don't often get real changelogs, but occasionally people work it out or Samsung's PR team let it slip.
2.0.14031004
Watch manager that comes with the Galaxy S5
1.7.031004
Unsure, but I have gotten pretty bad watch battery life with this version. I went back to 1.6.132702 and battery mostly went back to normal.
?? initially I thought this would be for 1.6.111801, but I installed it and it doesn't feature these updates. So possibly this is a future changelog of an unreleased version
Improved pedometer accuracy
Add setting menu “Motions”
Change motion menu for wake up gesture
When connecting to device again (example: after powering on), send notification of all unread messages
Changed to send notification only for new message
Fix to add popup message for BT connection without GM in setup wizard
Implemented standalone alarm
Add additional PIN lock
Changed and improved notifications menu
Implemented more notifications
Gear shows the messages of the notification of quick panel displayed on the phone
1.6.132702
First official 1.6.x release.
1.6.131003
Optimised for KitKat phone ROMs
1.6.111801
Fixed GMail notification repeats
Applies new functionality when used with ML1 firmware (eg native alarm)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2573200
cool, you need to advertise that better, maybe put some search terms or something? Make it obvious that older versions are there too.. i searched a lot when i first got my gear (for Christmas), and i didn't come across your thread
Mods, feel free to delete this thread.
I don't think that we should delete this thread. I think that we should take all the apk's for gear manager and put them in this thread for reference and keep this thread going because it is very clean. thank you Mods and thank you Omni wolf

yep neither. I guess the changelog that the Samsung rep posted in that facebook post was for a different version. Maybe it's what we have to look forward to?
Keep getting parsing error when trying to install the latest two versions. Any ideas?
Just checked-U.S.east coast-1.6 not showing
Updated through posted apk-see no difference-cnn still has no connection, weather and voice assist still in whatever language that is-no idea why these can't get straightened out-wish they would just open up app store already
So I bought a Neo and played around with it on my work Note 3. It has fair amount of apps. Well today I bought a S5 Active. I moved my Neo over to it (requires reseting it.) and got gear manager installed. Surprise to me... It seems even though things like the clock face is an app that runs on the phone if the developer doesn't select that it works with a phone you can't use it. Which should be a simple change for most things however it doesn't seem that developers update their Samsung store apps. For the S5 active there are only a handful of apps even though I am sure 99% all the apps would work if the dev would click the "it works with an s5 active"
After dealing with Samsung support (or the lack of it) I tried to get on the Samsung app store webpage. It seems they are having server errors so it was been working like crap. I was kind of able to get contacts for a couple of the app dev's to ask that they update their app to work with the S5 active. Samsung app store doesn't provide contact information unless the dev adds it. One of the devs linked to his google+ page. Which showed he is working to get the same app with improvements to work on android wear.
This got me thinking. Who is going to mess with this crappy half baked Samsung store with Google coming out with Wear? I'd guess we won't see anyone making new Apps for the tizen watches, they don't even update it to work with new phones it will run on with no changes...
I just got the Neo and I am on the fence of returning it. I figured I could get by with apps I had on the Note 3 until someone got a Wear rom for it. With the lack of apps when paired with the s5 I am not impressed at all and after my research today I am liking it less. I got it over the wear because it was only 150bucks vs 225, it has a speaker and IR blaster and Android wear is lacking in features (sure to change in 6 months to a year). I figured by the time wear got up to speed there would be a rom. Thinking about it some I am doubtful, I think the speaker and IR blaster (camera if it is a gear 2) will prevent it from ever happening. None of the wear watches have these so I'd guess there isn't low level support.
I guess I need to return it and wait for the 360 come out.
I had the same problem with my active. I modified the build prop to identify my device as a regular s5 and have all the apps again.

I'm definitely going to sell my Neo and wait for the Moto360. I like the Neo fine, but am getting sick to death of having to run stock based ROMs. I will miss some features of the G2, but damn that 360 looks beautiful and development should be great

Phone is rooted, not the watch. I rooted by using towelroot. Look in the particular forum for your phone for instruction, I don't want to give bad advice.

I'm quite happy with the note 4 so far and would like to keep it but I'm having issues with my Gear. I'm not sure if this is rom (currently on Null rom) related or note 4 only supports tizen, but these are my issues. I don't have these issues with my note 3.
1. When I get a text and I open it on the watch, it's supposed to clear the notification on the phone but it's not. So I still have to go the my messages on the phone and view them so the notification goes away.
2. I have my gear set up to auto unlock my phone when its near it, but it's not working. It stays locked (pattern unlock)
Anyone else with the Gear having any of these issues? If you're not can you tell me if you are using stock android rom or tizen. TIA.
interesting...I have a gear 2 neo coming, and I have a thread here as well, as so far, everyone says the Gear2 works flawlessly.
I assume the gear 1 and gear 2 use different firmware, so maybe that has something to do with it..
you might want to post this question in the "main" note 4 thread, to get more folks to look at it..
I'm also running null_23. Can confirm issue 2. I'm using hangouts for SMS. Not sure if notifications are dismissing for that, I'll let you know.

Thanks for the confirmation. I tried rolling back to stock android rom but still the same. I really hope I don't have to go to tizen. I need my 60 second recoding which only can be had with Null rom.

Wase4711, Gear 1 and Gear 2 are significantly different. Gear 1's have the option of running android OR tizen, whereas gear 2 folks are pretty much locked into Tizen and that's that.
thanks, I did not know that:good:
whats the real difference when running either of them, outside of apps you might be able to load on the android OS?
tomorrow will be a busy day, configuring the note 4 and the gear 2!:cyclops:

using a regular rom on the Note 1, you can install LOTS of goodies.
Gear 2 apps are significantly more limited. IMO the gear 2 looks cleaner without that ugly wart camera.

that makes sense..
for me, the gear 2 had most of the things I would care about on it, plus, I knew getting the note 4 around the same time, my head would be exploding just getting that setup how I want it, let alone having to configure/learn how to use a Gear 2..Yeah, that "wart" of a camera on the gear 1 looked terrible..
How are you guys using null without Bluetooth tethering?
quick update; the gear 2 works fantastic with this phone..
I cant believe how clear and loud making a phone call from a watch actually is!
Plus, I get the "HD Voice" notification on the watch while calling, and its as clear as a bell!

its not so bad; even though there arent a ton of programs for it, i really just want it for notifications/calls/texts/email and the pedometer and work out stuff. All that works great so far on a stock, non rooted note 4

Ya I use mine for mostly call, text notification, unlock feature but also camera and video recording. It beats holding a phone sometimes and having a 60 second recording (only available on custom rom) is a great.
Just received my free white S5 G900A from Samsung Insights. Getting used to it coming from Note 3. I was wondering if there are any fellow S5 owners that got their phone thru this program? If so, have you completed your 6 months? Did you root and have no problems with the app or Sammy telling you to unroot? I had asked if I could root and was told it's prohibited, so wanted to hear from any others who rooted and completed their time. Tia and looking forward to being part of the crowd.
i got my s5 ( t-mobile gs5 ) in august through the insight program
even before installing the app i rooted and flashed a stable rom and then installed the insights application
no issues here till now
i am close to my 6 months and then i will ask them if i can remove the app ( which i can according to the contract )

Seems from feedback I've gotten, I messed up and immediately installed the app and then sent an email asking if I could root. I should have rooted and ROMd before I installed the app and not bothered to ask. My bad.

yes you shouldn't have asked them
has anyone here with t-mobile got the survey recently and got a phone? Thanks
Just a note for anyone past or nearing the end of their 6 month commitment. Mine was up in December and I expected to hear something from them about being done, but didn't. So today I inquired.
Basically the deal is this: when your 6 months is up I'm sure they'd love you to keep providing data. If you want to uninstall the app after your 6 months, email them and they will give you an exit survey and the code you need to uninstall it, but as long as you stay active (keep the app running) you will remain eligible for any surveys and associated giveaways they send out, so there is a little incentive to keep it.

Just a note for anyone past or nearing the end of their 6 month commitment. Mine was up in December and I expected to hear something from them about being done, but didn't. So today I inquired.
Basically the deal is this: when your 6 months is up I'm sure they'd love you to keep providing data.

exactly
this is what i got today
" If you prefer to have the application removed, we can send you an exit survey which will have the application removal instructions and the passcode. Please note, only those who remain active in the program will continue to receive surveys throughout the year for upgrades or accessory offers. "
i think ill stay by keeping the app ..though i keep changing the ROMS
the problem is when i tried a cm12 rom with android 5.0 - flashed the insights app and restored through titanium - the insight freezes when i try to open
i guess its not yet compatible with lollipop
so i had to revert it back to the 4.4 rom

Just received my free white S5 G900A from Samsung Insights. Getting used to it coming from Note 3. I was wondering if there are any fellow S5 owners that got their phone thru this program? If so, have you completed your 6 months? Did you root and have no problems with the app or Sammy telling you to unroot? I had asked if I could root and was told it's prohibited, so wanted to hear from any others who rooted and completed their time. Tia and looking forward to being part of the crowd.

I received a white S5 as well 2 weeks ago. I rooted the phone via towelroot immediately then I installed safestrap then backed the phone up. I installed the Insights app the next day and it's been running flawlessly ever since. I haven't flashed any rims yet so I'm stock odexed but I did add xposed with a couple mods. So far so good and not a peep from Sammy.

Email [email protected] and tell them you're interested in the program. They'll email back for a referral. That's where it gets tricky. More requests for referrals than there are available. I gave out 18 before Samsung told me to stop.
Does anyone have a referral? I finally got my email asking for one to be accepted but I need a referral. Thanks!

How I got mine was looking thru the thread that is in Note 3 general and pmd a couple fellas til one gave me his info. I got lucky I believe. I know there are more people in this program, just finding the one to give the info is hard. Wish I could help. ?
I got a Galaxy S5 from them back in December and I just got a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 i from them this month to use with my smart TV.
I just got mine today. Not activated yet. Its for ATT but i am not sure if its locked or unlocked since it came in the Samsung box and not the Att box.
Hows the battery life on this ? I used to have Note 3.
Is it safe to root i know the contract says its prohibited but if it safe do you guys know the best rom from Att S5

DO NOT INSTALL THE APP until you've made the choice to root and rom or not. Battery life on stock was s#*t for me before changing roms. 5 hours 100% to 30% with 2 hours sot. Now, most days it's lasting all day. I still miss my Note 3 and will be going back as soon as contact here is up. If it's branded AT&T, it's bootloader locked.
