Thinking of getting either the Galaxy gear or pebble smartwatch for my note 3 and I hope someone can clarify some questions I have:
1. You have to swipe left and right to toggle through the app selection right? Is there a way to disable some of the apps to make them not appear when you're swiping? I don't normally use voice memo, svoice or gallery.
2. When playing music and the display of the gear turns off and you activate it again, will music toggle show on the home page / lock screen or do you have to swipe left/right a few times again to get to music control?
3. I understand the gear syncs with your phone, does that mean all read sms via the gear will also be marked as read on the phone? After you read the sms on your gear does it disappear or can you still access everything through the watch?
4. Is it annoying to have to flick your wrist everytime you wanna check the time?
5. Can you customize which apps you want sound / vibrate notifications from? Like sound only when getting sms and vibrate only when receiving phone calls?
I'm planning on using the gear while out jogging to easily switch music tracks, do you think it can withstand heavy sweat and a little shock?
Thanks

1. Yes. You can use the gear manager to disable/enable which app you wanna show/hide
2. you have to swipe back again since the screen will turn on with default watch face
3. I use Chomp SMS so I can't comment on this. With Chomp, it won't dismiss on the phone even after you read on the watch or vice versa it won't dismiss on the watch even after you read on the phone.
4. Nope. it becomes second nature for me.
5. no you can't specify individual app control notification. You can choose sound, vibrate, both or silent.
Shock shouldn't be a problem. But sweat is the problem. What other members have done is wear a wrist sweat band and then wear the watch on top of it to protect.
Hope this helps.

1. Yes, the apps you see are favourites and you can configure in Gear Manager
2. There is a music control app on the Gear. You would need to change option in settings to display last viewed screen (instead of main screen)
3. Can't remember as currently using unsupported phone. I think the answer is yes though for some notifications
4. It comes naturally
5. No
I've found sweat doesn't affect mine, but others say it can get in the little hole behind the camera and fog up lens (it goes away and doesn't affect the physical camera)
Thank you for responding to my queries.
So there's no way to incorporate music control while playing music on the home screen /watch face?
I plan on getting the gear primarily to answer phone calls while driving and controlling media while working out. Very disappointing
Are you satisfied with yours?

What do you mean? It works the way it seems you want it to
http://ukm.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/...amsung-Galaxy-Gear-Black-Media-Controller.jpg
(but when playing/paused; background is cover and song title/artist appear at top of screen)
It is a million times better (and useful) than my Pebble - apart from the fact I need phone/rom with TouchWiz for full use (notifications, weather)
I want to be able to control my music instantly when I flick my wrist while something is playing, is this possible? Similar to the music control on our phones lock screen

Well, mine is set so that when I use motion to turn on (flick wrist) the last used screen comes on - just need to make sure that I opened media control initially
Can't do anything with playlists
You can try setting up Tasker profiles for anything more advanced

As long as the phone is connected to the gear, any notifications it receives are archived (ie if you receive messages while not connected, the gear knows nothing about them). You can manually delete from archive
I think that notifications delete themselves after a while, as far as I can see they only seem to stay for around 2 days, which is fine

I know emails will be marked read when they are viewed on the gear, not sure about SMS messages, cant rememeber.
Also a nice thing is when you get a message and you are looking at it on the gear, if you pick up your phone it automatically goes right to that message without having to do anything on the phone.

using the phone for the gps sensor?
1)Shake to wake, like the pebble. The current wake up makes my watch turn on way too often.
2)Expanded notifications without first tapping on the notification like how it is currently. I don't understand why I need to tap on it first before I can read the whole message. Just make them expanded/full notifications always, or at least make it an option.
3)There is too much of a delay for the media controller app. There's about a 1 second delay between pressing a button in the media controller app and having my phone actually change the song. The pebble does the song switch almost instantly. If this is due to the lower bandwidth of Bluetooth Low Energy, make it an option to turn off BLE and use only BT Classic. I would gladly give up battery life for faster notifications/control over my phone. This brings me to #4
4) Faster notifications. Sometimes I have a 1 second wait before a notification shows up on my watch after having already shown up on my phone. Again, if this is due to the limited bandwidth of BLE, make it an option to only work on BT classic.
Edit: Oh I misread the topic. I thought this was about changes to the Gear. I'll just leave this here anyways.
Me too, i would like a GPS guidance for walking.
An extention of Sygic will be really great.
I can honestly say I couldn't ask for much more from my watch.
I would like a keyboard to reply to msgs (from anything that shows up in notification center - email, text, hangouts, etc) - without having to bake in a whole new rom etc

I imagine the best thing about owning a gear is keeping your phone in your pocket on silent and only bringing it out when you want to reply. Also, answering phone calls while driving and music control when your phone is docked to the speakers.
I've played around with my friend's pebble and its annoying that notifications aren't synced with your phone. You have to view them once on your watch and them dismiss them again on your phone.

there is no difference with the gear. You have to dismiss notifications on the gear (which can be a bit annoying as you have to go through each app's notifications and dismiss), and they won't be dismissed on the phone, you have to dismiss it on the phone as well.
Supposedly the gear does clear the phone emails and mark them as read if you use the native email app. I use Gmail and do have to clear the phone again after reading in the gear. Also the gear doesn't show the entire email. It shows most of it, then says to see the rest on the phone...

yeah, of course if you load an email app on the watch and have internet to the watch, then marking an email as read on the watch will mark it as read on the server, and mark it as read on any device, including your phone. but using the built in gear notifications, it won't do this.

no. smart delay is just to open up the app on your phone. So if you're looking at an SMS notification on your watch and you pick up your phone, Gear Manager will open up the SMS app on your phone for you. This in turn will clear the notification, but only as a side effect.

i never used smart relay, but i guess it will work, because wake-up gesture works on mine.
why is it better? because it is. i can use internet, have a custom layout for my apps (no more swiping across 7 pages to get to the voice memos or any other app). if i want to do something on my watch, i can do it within 3 seconds, literally.
i can start a direct dial to a predefined person.
i can record 60 seconds videos with custom rom.
i can secretly record both video and audio without time limit while keeping screen off (saves battery life).
i can set a countdown timer, or a stopwatch.
i can read ebooks.
i can sync my google keep notes
i can sync my grocery list
i can browse 9gag on my wrist
i can use calculator!
i can check and answer to my emails (by using gmail and google keyboard)
i can use google translate service (with both text and audio input)
i can check my bank account
i can use hangouts IM
i can play some simple games
i can have full calendar agenda
i can use full google maps
.. and way more.
now, what can you do with stock rom?
you can answer calls.
you can take 15 secs max videos.
you can reply to texts using s voice.
you can download stock apps available in samsung store (not a single one is worth your time)
you can pair it only with other samsung phones.
for me the answer is clear. if i can't put null on it, it goes back to store as a terrible smartwatch. it's capable of way more things than samsung officialy let you use..

Alarm off or on refers to the alerts of the Line messages, but no...doesn´t work.
Every time theres an update for GM, I dont restore data from the last GM, this has solve my problems with line. or do a fresh install of line on your gear. you can also try to have notifications on when screen is off.

Ok. One more question. Do you have notifications turned on in gear manager for line, or do you let the line for gear app handle them?
Thanks
I finally figured it out after reading through reviews. You have to have pop up notifications turned on in the line app on your phone for the program on the gear to work properly. You can use either the "simple" or "default" setting. This pretty much just makes me not want to use the app.
Thats what I meant when I recommended to have notifications on when the screen is off. you have to play with the notifications settings on the phone. Ive also notice that sometimes notifications dont get send out to the gear when you have a screen lock. How do you like it now? its pretty cool huh, I just wish they included more stickers for the gear
The app requiring pop up notifications was a deal breaker for me. Half the reason I wanted the watch was so I didn't have to turn my screen on as often as I do. I also don't want people just seeing random pop ups. I deleted it in favor of the regular notifications until it gets better.
I can say "Remind me to do a barrel roll at noon" in S-Voice on my Gear. Then comes noon and my phone is going nuts, but the Gear just sits there looking dumbfounded. No task notifications are making it to my Gear. Is this normal/intended?
I get event and calendar notifications and S-Planner is checked in the Gear Manager. All other notifications are working fine.
Running the latest NULL_23 ROM with Nova Launcher, and since I had this problem I've updated to the latest release of Gear Manager. Updating didn't fix anything.
Anyone else having this happen, or is mine borked?
Only fix I got working so far is having Tasker catch the notification and yell at the Gear via TaskGear, though it would be nice to be able to dismiss without pulling out my phone.
edit: thanks modperson! !
I have this problem, using the same solution. I think it's a universal problem - Samsung just 'forgot' to make task notifications go to the gear.

How's your TaskGear solution work, if I may ask?
Mine just summons a TaskGear notification on the watch saying "Hey, you have a task notification!"
Have you per-chance figured out anything fancier?
Side-note, is there any way to get the S-Planner tasks into ANY other app? Google Calendar, SolCalendar, anything! From there it wouldn't be difficult to notify the gear.

What I'm doing is actually only Tasker driven (I have TasGear as well, just haven't done a whole lot with it). My setting is, if a Calendar notification (from the Samsung app, b/c that's the only place the task info is stored (in answer to your other question, it's impossible to sync it anywhere)), then I run a task that does a notify with %NTITLE (title of notification) as the Title of the new notification. Because of the way the gear is setup, it 'ignores' calendar notifications because it has the special swipe function, but once your phone screen turns off, it triggers a real notification (which the gear ignores), but then the tasker process picks that up and triggers my task. It's a little annoying to receive calendar notifications a second time via tasker, but it's the best solution I've found so far.

Genius! I didn't even think about letting gear manager just send the tasker notification. TaskGear is still in the works and stops connecting occasionally, I think I may move to your solution just for reliability. I bet you could get Tasker to dismiss the original notification for you if you were so inclined...
I use "Remind me to pick up milk at 5pm" constantly. I hope Samsung starts getting their **** together with the Gear 2 and we get some backwash from that.

I cant seem to get the watch to notify me about anything. I dont have any apps in the block list, the sound is on, not in theater mode. Not sure what else to do.
How do you customize the eco button? It would be much more convenient to put theater mode there than to have airplane mode, is that possible?
Wasnt this supposed to come with that little battery pack? I didnt have one in my box unless its super hidden.

First did you give android wear notications access?
Eco mode button can't be customized....yet, could see that changing in an update. I thought it came with a battery back too however it does not. It is optional. Haven't saw anything about price for the battery pack.
The recent Zenwatch Manager update gives you the ability to customize both the top and bottom buttons. They are accessed within settings on the watch.
I get no audible notifications. Someone told me I should. Android Wear permissions are all on. Only sound I get from The watch is when the phone rings.
I do get all the on screen notifications. I wish there was a clear all for them.

Go into the settings of the watch and make sure that under the bluetooth setting
that the "bluetooth audio" is enabled. I am almost certain that the bluetooth audio
in your phone is not enabled and that's the reason why you aren't getting any
audible notification sounds.
Also make sure that the alarm app in the watch is enabled and the alarm audio volume
is turned all the way up. ( you don't need to setup any alarms, just enable it in the audio
options under settings,
There are two apps you can download from the play store if you are interested in uploading
mp3 songs into your watch instead of streaming the music from your phone.
One is called WearMedia and the other is called Wear Music.
The WearMedia also has options for uploading pictures from
your phone to the watch too. Both are free apps.
Good luck, have a great day!
