Way ahead of you, except tasker won't install. Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY]
I got Locale installed but it seems to crash when I try to add conditions.
Llama seem to work, it seems I can at least change volumes based on times of days, its a start. Not sure what profiles I would need with a watch but Llama might be the best bet right now

Okay I am wondering how to connect other devices? I know wrong place to
ask but am asking anyway?
I have not had problems installing autoapps just can't get other devices to connect or see it on search of nearby devices?
Anyone tried this? My goal is basically to make the Gear compatible with iOS devices.
It works from a high level - it says they're connected (and doesn't disconnect), but I haven't deployed any apps yet that communicate properly with an iPhone.
The BLE APIs are 4.3 (API 18) and the Gear is 4.2 (API 17), so I don't think I can use the BLE apis directly.
Anyways, I'll poke at this slowly between other projects and share what I have. Hopefully I can inspire others to do likewise.
Cheers

Yes, I just make a call from Gear with iPhone4S, now only call/answer/dial function worked.
I install the Bluetooth auto connect apk and manual connected with iPhone4S, I think need develop a new Gear manager for iOS.
Wow ... Hope to work with iOS. :good:

Well, I think you can pair it during the initial reset phase (it will pair, but fail to connect), and then pair with your samsung s3.

1. Install "Bluetooth Auto Connect" app, you can find in in Google Play.
2. Disconnect Phone's bluetooth.
3. Goto Gear's settings -> bluetooth-> enable search
4. Open Bluetooth auto connect, enter devices menu
5. Search and pair in your iOS device.

You can reset the device, pair with iPhone, and then pair again with your Samsung.
You'll still be paired after the reset.

Yeah, it'd be nice to reset without going to the Samsung devices.
I've been playing around with the various services/and activities via the am start command:
Code:
am start com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothPairingDialog
am start com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothConnectActivity
am start com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothSyncingActivity
am startservice com.android.bluetooth/.common.BluetoothAutoConnectService
Bit of a chore, but I got these using smali / dex2jar / JD Gui
Code:
adb pull /system/app/Bluetooth.odex
adb pull /system/framework/ framework (grab all the frameworks for baksmali)
./baksmali -a 15 -x Bluetooth.odex -d framework -o Bluetoot
./smali Bluetoot
d2j-dex2jar.sh out.dex
And then run JD Gui on them to figure out what's going on. I'm not sure, but there is a VendorSpecificCommand in the odex which might be what's causing the reset. If there was a way to avoid that, it might help. Hard to say.
Another idea might be to use bluez or something and do a command line pairing.

Currently no. If someone can remove the Google Play Licensing Validation, then we could push Tasker. There's an apk called "Lucky Patcher" that removes those sort of validations from apps (probably not legal in the slightest). However, Tasker is one of few that are considerably hard to emulate a paid purchase, causing Lucky Patcher to have no effect. So, no, not currently, but I'm working on removing that restriction and testing.

You're phone, by default, should detect your watch as a media headset or something similar. So, you should be able to use your watch in AutoVoice/Tasker on your phone as a microphone

But I need an app on the watch that start the auotovoice recognize on the phone, for example if I tap twice the power button on the watch it open the microphone and pass my voice to autovoice on the phone.

Were all waiting for this, SDK hasn't been released yet from my knowledge.
Going to have to be patient like everyone else.
Hello,
Is there anyway to get Autoremote to work directly with the Note 3 over bluetooth and not require internet? I'm sure I"m missing something? thanks.
You need internet first to register device in autoremote
After that, you only need standard Bluetooth connection to send commands
@Brendo my bluetooth autoremote seems to work fine.
However if I try to send a notification (not a quick message) via bluetooth it doesn't seem to get received on the gear
Please try and let me know if you can send and receive a NOTIFICATION thanks

Stock notifications aren't available on the gear. You can get the pull down bar in null rom, but even then I don't think it works with all apps. I've not tested though. If you mean the notifications like standard way that gear manager sends notifications, we really need an sdk to work out how to utilize that (there are workarounds where some apps used existing channels)

No, perhaps you misunderstood,
if you go into the autoremote app and select "devices" then there is a small envelope on the right as well as a triangle - these are used to send quick messages and notifications ( by autoremote app )
I can send the message, but not the notification by bluetooth..... however notificatio does work fine by wifi and it gets received by the gear no problem

I understand now. I had a look sending notification via plugin in tasker - which is the same, but didn't realise how notification was sent. Sounds like message uses direct Bluetooth where as notification routes through wifi. Sounds like you'll need to check with dev (may be a bug or unfinished since Bluetooth is recent addition to app?)
I ve got the same problème when i has was in theter i Can send command but without theter the command don t work.
Can you help me?

Thank you. I thought I was the only one not able to get this working. I've trying for a week now and everything I found made me feel like I was doing something wrong.
The one thing I've noticed is that when you click and hold the device, and the menu comes up, when I select "connect Bluetooth device, it will say it is connected. But, right after that, it says "not a valid QR code". So I've been wondering if that has anything to do with it.
Anybody else seen this?

Ok, regarding the tasker task, does this need to be included in every task? What I mean is, I've already got some autoremote tasks that work when tethered. I want to be able to use them via BT when I'm not on Wifi (that's the only way my tether works).

I've done this and it still doesn't work. Still getting "retrying 1/5" etc. I'm starting to think I must have some other BT connection issue because I've been trying to get the BT GPS sharing working again. It worked a few null roms back but seems to be broken now. I've searched all over the phone and the gear but can't find anything that would be blocking certain BT functions. Everything else works between the phone and the gear (notifications, weather, mini gallery, pedometer backup).

I assume you have done the below, but repeating it for others too....
In Autoremote, on the devices tab, click on the bluetooth icon of each paired autoremote device to switch ON, and turn wifi off ( assume you have already long pressed and "add as Bluetooth device )
If ON, the icon is blue, if off grey

Yep, tried it multiple ways. Like I said, I think I've got some other connection issue. I even tried the Smart Remote app from the gear store and haven't ever been able to get it to connect either. At first I thought it was due to the null rom but others have said it works for them.
I just have no idea what would allow "selective" connections.
Edit: I just noticed that on the phone, in tasker, it shows as an active profile but in the gear it does not. I even set up a generic profile just to pop up a notification. If I test the action it works but the profile still shows as inactive and in the notification panel it still shows "no active profiles" yet all other functions continue to work. Can someone confirm if this is the same on their gear?

I had the same, initially, it took some time on the Gera with Tasker.
Try switch profile off, then on, save reboot, reconnect and have patience.
Instead of connecting to a "named" connection, leave that bank and choose the optional "bluetooth address" in taker profile state

I use autoremote on the gear over bluetooth and it work well with my note 3.
I have tasker which enable bluetooth in gear and note 3 when they connect them in bluetooth.
It work great until the watch goes in deep sleep. At this time the connection is broken until I reboot. I try to enable persistent notification on the gear when tasker enable autoremote bluetooth (to prevent the service to be killed) but at this time I have another problem, the gear and the phone are not able to go in deep sleep so I have a big battery drain.
If someone have ideas to help I'll be very glad.

I rebooted both phone and gear and the first try was successful. Next attempt back to trying. One thing I noticed was that upon restart both taskers showed the Bluetooth profile as active. After the first test the tasker on my phone now shows inactive. Prior to restart it was the gear that showed inactive.
Either way, this is progress. Now to find out why they aren't staying active.

After series of reboots in various orders, this is finally working. Now that it is, I can even say it's much faster than while tethered.
Now I can't wait to get my home automation setup and working. To control it all from the watch is going to be awesome.
Thanks everybody for your support and ideas.

Nope, not bad answer or brand war - to get full use, you need a 4.3+ touchwiz rom
If you connect to any other phone, you lose notifications and can really only use as Bluetooth headset and quick access camera
null_ doesn't add anything to help with interaction with other phones (other than being easier to install apks and do Bluetooth tethering)

It's what i was askin! So with iPhone i can use te gear as a bt headset? And have Facebook notification installing Facebook app on the gear and connecting with bt tethering (in italy we can use tethering for free).
It's missing only sms notification, right?
By the way, in future we could see something else cause the way to have sms notification with android Watch and iPhone using the MAP protocol already exist and I'm Watch it's using it. Maybe someone will put that stuff in future firmwares for the gear.

Yes, it can be used as Bluetooth headset for any phone
To get any form of notifications on non-touchwiz rom you need a third party app. These drain battery really fast though. Check some of the threads in this forum

There's no such thing as a stock facebook app for the gear.
If you side load the fb app, the app still needs data in order to get any type of functionality. I'm afraid iphone use is limited to none with the gear.

With an iPhone you can use the gear as a $300 watch that will only tell you the time and date. Nothing else.

It isn't a bad answer. For someone asking for help you should be a little nicer. This isn't about which phone is better. This is about the gear made to be used on Samsung phones with touchwiz and android 4.3.

I guess you are having trouble understanding english? IPhone=Iphone, Andrid=Android, if you want to waste your money go ahead, but the others are correct go buy an Iwatch or buy a Samsung phone.
Also learn some manners
People you maybe should consider stopping trolling Robotblog instead of trying to help (if you want to) or just saying nothing (if you do not want/cannot help).
Yeah, we know the optimum combination is Galaxy smth with 4.3 and Galaxy Gear, but what we are trying to investigate is the possibility that someone may or may not use the Gear with an iPhone.
With Null ROM that enables BT tethering and an iPhone that can provide it (this is already happening with Google Glass), i think we could have the following:
1) Basic BT handsfree functionality.
2) Use all apps one can load onto the watch itselft, even the ones that require an internet connection.
What we cannot have is:
1) Notifications (which renders the added value of the whole smartwatch concept kind of questionable)
2) An automated way to transfer photos/vids taken with the Gear camera to the iPhone.
What we do not know is:
1) What the battery life of the Gear would be when tethered all the time with the iPhone.
Please feel free to complete the above lists, as well.
I for once am indeed thinking of trying the Gear/iPhone combination after i again buy an iPhone.

What about caller ID on the incoming calls?
Does it show the number? Does is show the name?
I guess it dows not show the name but, i am wondering what would happen if we have the contacts app natively on the Gear and an incoming call cones from someone who belongs to the contacts.
Thanx a lot!!!

1) What the battery life of the Gear would be when tethered all the time with the iPhone.
Please feel free to complete the above lists, as well.
I for once am indeed thinking of trying the Gear/iPhone combination after i again buy an iPhone.

What about caller ID on the incoming calls?
Does it show the number? Does is show the name?
I guess it dows not show the name but, i am wondering what would happen if we have the contacts app natively on the Gear and an incoming call cones from someone who belongs to the contacts.
Thanx a lot!!!

This is what I mean! Try to investigate! The question about the caller ID it's a good question!
Ok guys, got my Gear for 100 bucks, good price, uh?
Now I'm starting flashing update, null_15, and then starting with some test. The bigger problem so far it's that without a Galaxy phone I can't even start the Gear. It recognize the iPhone, got me the pin to pair, but disconnect immediately. So I have to flash null first of all.

Dude flash null 15 and then you start experimenting.
Please try to check the caller id like i asked before.
I have a Galaxy S4 but i am tempted to exchange it for an iPhone 5 if the watch can handle caller ID with name.
Thanx
