Galaxy Gear with Galaxy S4

I just got the Gear and saw a video online showing someone using it with their S4. I couldn't get the app. Its not available on the Samsung apps store or Google Play. Anyone else get it working?

I have it with my S4 and can find and download the Gear Manager in Samsung APPS. Search for Gear and find "Samsung GALAXY Gear Manager".
Not everything working but ok.
Cheers, Jorge

I'm using Gear with my Galasy S4 and already when i was on 4.2.2 i found Gear manager at Samsung Apps.but now with leaked firmware 4.3 all works like a charm.

[Gear with Galaxy S4 or Any Galaxy Series] ... First of all, Galaxy Gear will only works with Galaxy (with Android 4.3), but at the moment they are with Android 4.2.2, so ... you will check out the apps for Gear and your Galaxy HERE below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476319
You will find all the apps (at the moment), and the main app to connect your Device with Gear is ... GEAR Manager (you need to download this first.
Good luck!

Yes, I'm waiting for it ... I'm using S4 I9500 (not I9505 with 4.3 leak.)
Thanks.

4.2.2 no go for S-Voice
Guess, this what shows up when your phone isn't on 4.3 JB, right?

Does your battery drain fastest on your phone while connected to the watch?

Are you sure in 4.3 everything works. Because I tried 2 different touchwiz 4.3 roms. And none of them worked. Gear manger said device was not supported

I'm running Hyperdrive on my s4 and the svoice notification is as far as I get too. I'm tempted to try a 4.3 and see if anything works better

It works but not everything. S VOICE, weather, txt and email alert doesn't work on me using a 4.2.2 rom.
Media control, answer/make calles, change watch face, install apps via apk not using thw samsung app store all work. I'm sure that are other things that work and other things that don't work. I just can't remember all right now

Not that I notice anything monumental on saving juice. Maybe, there would be a significant change once my S4 is on 4.3 JB cuz I know I can check notifications, use S-voice as it's meant to be and what not so less time unlocking the phone and screen usage... although phone's BT is running all the time so Gear could remain tethered to it but i believe it's BT 4.0 LE*, right?
*LE, Low Energy... though am not sure it's got a real world impact or just a marketing scheme...

Nope I didn't see any faster battery drain on my note 3 9005

Alright, so I have been tinkering with my watch and have a few questions. I have rooted my watch and installed busy box, and all is going well so far. Additionally, I am using my watch with my S4, rather than my Note 3. I wanted this topic to be more of a few questions and general discussion/clarification.
I have installed the newest Gear Manager and when I go to Weather on the watch I get "Add city to weather widget on mobile device" but it never seems to sync. I have added a location to the weather widget. Is this by chance just a feature thats not quite working on the S4 yet, or am I missing something?
Pedometer - When I try to send my steps to SHealth it fails to sync. Also, known S4 issue, or missing something?
Gear Manager - Unable to install apps - When I navigate to My Apps > Featured > MyFitnessPal for Samsung Galaxy Gear (or any other app), I select Install, and I get "Product does not exist in this store(4002)". Im guessing this is because the Samsung store is reading my S4 build.prop and determining there are no compatible apps.
In re the last topic, could someone send me the APK from their watch for this app, Ill side load it.
I am at the office and want to install some apps via ADB, but don't have my cradle handy. Is there any way to get an APK to the watch that anyone can think of?
I am working on recompiling the stock camera app that does not have the shutter sound. Ill share when I get it done.
Update: Here is a thread with all of the APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522
Thanks!

I got every thing working on my gs4, including svoice, text notification, and weather by using the 4.3 rom. I also downloaded the latest gear manager from a post in this forum and ot seems to work great, including allowing me to download apps from samsung.
Gear is rooted, running smart launcher, a few games, camera silent hack, and everything is still working.

They're at the bottom of the notification screen in Gear Manager. Not the best place for them, but I imagine they'll get their own category at some point.

I had that problem too; the second time I edited them it worked. I don't know if rebooting the phone and gear helped. I'm not sure what I did but now they are edited to match what I have on the phone.

I had this same issue on the Gear 2 Neo and the updated templates did not push to the watch until I modified ALL of the templates. Initially, I only wanted to edit a few of them and nothing changed on my watch...even after restarts. After going back to edit the others as well, the watch was immediately refreshed with the new templates (with no restart or any further action). Odd, but it is what it is.

My Sony Z Ultra with GPE KITKAT 4.4.2 & Samsung gear watch

Ok so it seems to be working same as the nexus but still have a few problems to iron out if anyone can help out with a similar setup I would appreciate it.The pictures from the watch do not transfer to the phone not sure why pedometer don't work so uninstalled it and the usual voice and weather apps.I hope we can get all bits working I made this thread pacific for z ultra owners of the GPE rom and gear watch setup hope we can fix things here thank you in advance.

Not going to happen unless you can figure out what parts of touchwiz are required, and then port it
(Or maybe sdk if it is ever released)

To be honest I can live without the voice and weather my calls and notifications work and a load of other stuff very happy that it's even working and that samsung deprived us of being able to use other devices with their gear watch.

[Q] Help: Transfer S4 S-memo to S5 Memo problem

Hi everyone, I just upgrade my S4 to S5 and I transfer everything by TB, so far seems everything ok, but there is one problem, there are lot of notes under my S4 S-Memo apps, I think only "Memo" Apps on S5, I am able to export all my notes from S4 to google drive, but I only able to use Samsung account only on S5's Memo, and I don't know what folder is S5's memo located, I really needs those notes cause I using lot of them everyday, can anyone please let me how I can able to get those notes works on my S5? thank so much....

If you search in the Samsung app store, they have an app called "Smart Switch Mobile". Install this on your old phone and on the new and it will automagically transfer and convert the notes into the new s5 format. Worked wonders for me!

Gear 2 apps on gear 1 (Tizen)

Hello, just wanted to share that I had a friend send me a gear2 app (.wgt) file that was not in the Samsung app store available for the gear1. I installed the app on my gear one via PC CMD - non rooted and the gear2 app works perfectly on my gear1, I have done this with 2 apps already! I don't understand why Samsung limits gear1 apps that will work just fine.. Is there a website where I can download more gear 2 apps (.wgt)? I searched online and found a few direct downloads to side load. Just looking for more... Thanks!

I know why, it's a marketing strategy to make more money, to get us to buy the newer one. Smh.

How did you do it? I Have the gear 1 running Tizen apps, there are not many apps, please share how you got more apps, [email protected]. thanks

I installed [ROM][I9505][XXUGNG4] Samy Deluxe S5 Style Operation Ivy and all of a sudden got a ton of apps for the Galaxy Gear Tizen in the store.
Don't know what has changed, but there's loads of apps. So something in the phone tells the store what apps to show... Anyone have a real S5 with a Gear and loads of apps?
Btw, if you install that rom on an S4 you need to fiddle a bit to get S Health to sync. Not sure what I did, but it worked. Installed Fitness with Gear, removed goprovider.apk and updated Gear Manager again with Galaxy Apps and it worked... Anyway

What probably changed is your build prop. A common way of getting more apps is spoofing the model number of an s5.
So long as your rooted you won't need to flash anything.
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2810782
Tizen Apps - Phone Models thread gives some details, instructions for altering build prop can be readily found using Google.

I had the build prop changed before aswell, but I have more apps now then they show in their screenshots with this rom.

The screen shots in that thread are quite old now, lots more apps have been added since and they come in too fast to keep the screen shots updated.

Anyone kind enough to let me know what new apps are available on the fitness section? I had to downgrade to Android in order to use Runtastic on my gear 1 + Note 3 combo. Might consider rooting if it's now available on gear 1 Tizen..
thanks!
