How to install Google Play Apps.

1) Download and install on your PC or Mac Wondershare MobileGo (Free Trial) - I cannot post the link - but u can find it on Google
2) Set the Gear to USB Debug and connect it through a USB cable to PC
3) MobileGo will download the drivers then it will recognize the connected device as Samsung SM-V700
4) MobileGo will also install its app on your Gear.
5) Now you can navigate the upper left menu including "Google Play Apps" from which you can install any app to your Gear, just click the app icon and then click on the green install button.You can check the process clicking "Downloads" on bottom left.
6) On the menu in the upper left of MobileGo under the menu "Apps" you will have access to all apps installed on Gear, clicking on this menu you can see all your installed apps and install or uninstall any app on your Galaxy Gear.
See some screenshot of MoblieGo.
I hope I was helpful

Thanks
Going to try it out.

How to install to GEAR? The Play Store cannot see my GEAR listed.
For never install apps, it will download, but for apps I had install at others device, it can't download.
Most cannot install...

Same for me, actually I can't install any app with your method from click on Google Play Apps, he ask me to login with my account and then don't offer to install on the gear
Sometime don't ask to log in and then add to dosnload list but don't want download, get error ;(
Edit : If I install app direct fril the option this work. But was Google Map and no internet on the watch, so was useless

Click install and then cancel and then install again most work after the second attempt

Mine says that my device is sleeping and won't work,what should I do?

Here it's working fine and installing any App from Google Play, as show on the screenshots, I installed Smart Launcher using MobileGo. Of course don't have to sign in on Google Play otherwise the apps will be installed only to the registered devices. Honestly I'm using the MobileGo Pro version which giving many more features to the program and may be this the issue that may not allow to install apps to devices non registered on Google Play like Galaxy Gear.

Working great for me!

Yeah! Without signing in, I can install more apps, but this means I can't get any paid apps that I already buy get install...
At least work for free apps, thanks a lot.

So easy, this is awesome! I finally have the calculator and calendar apps that i needed! Also running Nova launcher!

It's a nice app but too expensive to purchase. It will be useful for the free period of 14 days.
I found installing the apps that I want on my Note 3 and then, pushing the apps via ADB to Gear works just as well at no extra cost.

which is best simple calculator plz
galaxy note 3 now Free

Fully charge phone this morning at 7:45am and 5 hours later, I am at 43% battery. Just turned the brightness to 4 and rebooted the gear. I think the MobileMe app which asks for wifi to be connected is draining the battery while trying to search. I have gone and closed all apps running in the background and will monitor for the next hour to see what the % looks like then.
Is there a way to remove the auto installed MobileMe app during this process.
Ian B
Update: An hour later and the battery was already in the 30s%. Ended up resetting the gear, charging for an hour and now, my battery is back to normal. Charged to 84% and an hour later, I am still at 80%. The Mobileme app and calculator app were removed by system when I reset the Gear.
Going after work to exchange this mocha brown color(only one in Austin available) for the Lime Green one at BB.

Can you elaborate on how you push the apps via adb? are you pushing from your phone? or backing up with titanium or something similar?

This works perfect.
Thanks.
I've just play with Fruit Ninja.
ES explorer works well too.

this is what i was waiting for!
can anyone make some more screenshots, or record a video?
can you get some sort of a small-sized phone functionality? i mean, place browser shortcut, install reddit client, use other calculators, show calendar etc?

You need to install ADB on your PC and use it in the command prompt window to install the apps on the gear.
You will need to be familiar with ADB commands like "adb install c:\director\filename" to install the app to the Gear, with the Gear's USB Debug option turned on and connected to your PC via USB cable.

Can you describe this process ?
Youre just pushing Note 3 APKs to the Gear ?
If you have for example Instagram on your phone and Gear...are both of them looking for updates ?

Thanks , working great. I even have a task killer for the hard to shut down apps, like Riptide2. It run great on this Gear.

Easy App Install/Transfer to Gear

I have used DataSync+ application with my phone and Nexus tablet and I found it also works with the Gear. You need to have it installed on the Gear by using the PlayStore on the Gear.
Essentially this app needs to be installed on your phone and gear. It is used to transfer any application (and it's data if you want) that you have installed on your phone, and install/transfer it over to your Gear. I was able to get Tablet Talk that was on my phone and install it over on my gear with no issues at all. It works on any app. I also used it to transfer/install SwiftKey that I use on my phone over to the gear. Now the keyboard is much bigger (almost the whole screen) and easier for quick responses to texts in Tablet Talk.

For those HTC One users, I have almost every thing working on my gear with the only exception being the Notifications and Svoice. But that is solved with Tablet Notifications and Tablet Talk with Swift Keyboard. Everything else works fine, media controller, contacts, dialer, camera, gallery (push photos), find my device, call logs, etc.
I have the HTC One running with the ViperOne 3.1 RC2 | 3.62.401.1 | Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 ROM. & Gear with Null 11.1 Rom

Now this would be great info if you explained to us who are not tech savvy on how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear. You start off your rcommendation by statin we use the app to transport applications onto our gear, but you never explain how to get the AppSync+ application onto the gear as a start point.
I spent an entire dayt trying different ways to get apps onto my phone by using the ADB method, etc. I did not want to go with the MObileMe method because people said it burns battery. Caught fits. So i would really be grateful if you would take a moment and walk me thru on how to get AppSync+ application on my gear so I can begin to port over apps to the gear---By the way this does not reqiure rooting does it?

You must have not read my second sentence where I mention using the play store from your Gear. Bluetooth tether the Gear to your phone, launch the play store from the gear, search for DataSync+ and download it and install to your Gear.
The APP does not require Root.
I mentioned in my original post the name to be AppSync+, but the name is actually DataSync+. MY APOLOGIES

Thanks for your prompt reply and for your patience.
I am going to spend the day doing this but since i am new to the tech scene I will need a few basic points (I know i am so new at this I really ought not be posting on XDA). From an elementary standpoint, I know my gear does not have the play store on it. When I "tether" the gear to my phone does opening the play store on the PHONE cause the play store to open on the gear and then be downloaded. I simply do not know how the tethering process works to download the play store to my phone.
Please don't give up on me as I really want to do what yoy recommended to me in this thread

SW,
No biigie, we were all beginners at one point. The way I tether is by having the Null 11.1 rom on my Gear. Once that process is complete and during the process of installing the rom you will see an option for gapps. Install it so the playstore app is included. once that is complete and you have paired your phone you then go to the settings app from the rom (blue icon) and click on bluetooth. you will see the phone you have paired to. Scroll to the bottom and click on the tethering option. You then have to enable tethering on your phone also. Once that's done and you are tethered you open up the playstore app on the Gear, enter your gmail account info then you search for Datasync+, then you install it.

To help clarify, does the Phone need to be Rooted? Data sync is saying this is required, once I installed it. Thanks.

[Q] HELP!: Galaxy Gear ROM Not Working After Install!

Today I installed a custom _Null ROM on my Galaxy Gear.
After full install, the Google Play Store crashes and says "Unfortunately, Google Account Manager Has Stopped Working"
The browser will not connect, and every page says "Webpage Unavailable"
I am really irritated, because I have not found 1 post with anyone having the same issue.
Please help.

In order to use the store, browser you just be tethered via bluetooth. Turn on bt tether on your phone then on the gear go to settings/bluetooth then you will see settings next to the name of your phone. Click that and select tether

It's very common; doesn't sound like you even looked...
Anyway, those things happen with no active internet connection
Internet is achieved via Bluetooth tether or pdanet (and supported tethering phone plan)

Note 4 Whole bunch of wierd things going on

So there have been a whole bunch of weird things going on with my Note 4. Anyone else seeing this
1.) I have my apps arranged into folders and I am finding that randomly that apps are coming back out of the folders for no particular reason. It seems to happen when I install an app or power cycle the phone but also sometimes it just happens throughout the day
2.) Google Now "always on" stops working. Sometimes when the phone is asleep and never works when connected to wifi (I have seen others on the forum having this issue )
3.) Iheart radio app, I can't get it to install with the verified app setting checked or with my Gear Neo connected. If I turn off my Neo and uncheck verify app it will install but as soon as I turn the Neo on it uninstalls the App
4.) Starbucks app won't install ( I know this is Starbucks issue, just wanted to list it here for others)

Google search Starbuck apk. I had to side load it other day.

For number 1. You have Create Shortcuts enabled in the Playstore settings. After you install an app. It will put the icon on the home screen as well as the drawer.

I think he means when you create folders in app drawer and put apps in different folders when you restart apps in drawer leave folders and go back to the way it was. I also notice when I set time/time zone to manual when I reboot it always goes back to auto time via network. There is a few quirks but nothing an update can't fix. My opinion is Selinux enforcement may be culprit. Android L is probably what was supposed to come stock but it would of delayed note 4 launch . I can't complain as I really like this note 4

I have a Gear 2 and have the same issue with the iheartradio app and the latest update. There seems to be an issue installing the gear portion of the app and when it fails, it decides to uninstall the entire program.
For now I have reverted to a previous release of iheartradio version 5.2.0 which seems to work fine and installs the gear portion without issue, hopefully they will resolve this soon.

So I have found some things/updated
" 1.) I have my apps arranged into folders and I am finding that randomly that apps are coming back out of the folders for no particular reason. It seems to happen when I install an app or power cycle the phone but also sometimes it just happens throughout the day " I have found one trigger for this and it is Samsung's Kids Mode. Running the Kids Mode will screw up all of the organization into folders back to a certain point in time. Not sure what event it is going back to but it is always the same point so anything installed after that point will come out of its folder after kids mode is turned off
"2.) Google Now "always on" stops working. Sometimes when the phone is asleep and never works when connected to wifi (I have seen others on the forum having this issue )" Turning off S Voice seems to have fixed this issue
"3.) Iheart radio app, I can't get it to install with the verified app setting checked or with my Gear Neo connected. If I turn off my Neo and uncheck verify app it will install but as soon as I turn the Neo on it uninstalls the App" I installed an older version and so far it is working
"4.) Starbucks app won't install ( I know this is Starbucks issue, just wanted to list it here for others) " I installed an older version and so far it is working

Glitch: ‘OK Google’ doesn’t work
A few people have been reporting issues getting the voice command “OK Google” to work correctly every time. For some people, it worked fine when initially set up, but then stopped working after a couple of days, other report that the “Always on” function that allows you to use the command when the screen is off, doesn’t work properly.
Workaround:
They shouldn’t be incompatible, but some people have had success here by turning off Voice wake-up in the Settings menu of S Voice. Others report the opposite (that S Voice must be on for “OK Google” to work).
Potential solutions:
Make sure that Settings > Language and input > Voice search > “Ok Google” Detection is set to Always on. Try restarting your Note 4.
If you’re still having the problem there’s a good chance that a specific app is causing it. You could check your apps one-by-one. Start with wearable apps, anything that accesses the notifications. Alternately you could do a factory reset and selectively re-install until you find the culprit.

For #1, use the menu tab on the top right in app drawer. Click edit. Then drag and drop the apps u want into folder. That did it for me.

Broken notifications in Gear Manager ? Here's the solution

I've spent a lot of time to figure out how to get full notifications back on my Gear 1.
Since the last few updates, Samsung screwed us over by updating Gear Manager and mess with the notifications in the process.
For a lot of apps, the full notifications were removed now only showing the app that triggers the notification and for instance the sender of an email.
This is what I did to get it fully working again.
1. Remove everything Gear related on the phone (my case it's a S5).
2. Download earlier version of Gear Manager where full notifications still worked and put it somewhere on your SD card where you can find it.
( I downloaded version 2.1.14071502 from here https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager )
3. Make sure the phone doesn't have any internet connection anymore, disable wifi and mobile data connection.
4. disable Bluetooth, so that you don't have a connection with the Gear smartwatch.
5. Install the Gear Manager earlier version you downloaded
6. reboot phone
7. open Titanium Backup and freeze "samsung gear automatic update" (or something simular, I'm translating is from Dutch).
8. open Gear Manager, it shouldn't ask to update (as the internet connection is still not active).
9. disable automatic updates in Gear Manager
10. Set up Gear Manager as you like
11. Connect phone to smartwatch by enabling Bluetooth again
12. Enable wifi and/or mobile data connection
On my S5 it works perfectly like this, no messages about updates and whatsapp and gmail notifications are coming in again with preview of the text.
UPDATE : I don't know if it is related to my "workaround" but I don't receive WhatsApp notifications anymore on the watch, although it is checked in Gear Manager and I do receive notifications on my phone.
UPDATE 2 : decided to give it another try today and I followed again the same steps. At step 7 there was no "Samsung Software Update" in TB, so decided to freeze "Samsung Account" in TB. This worked very well.
Tested my findings by sending myself multiple notifications (Gmail, SMS, Whatsapp, etc) from my company S3 Neo and it worked !

Does this also solve certain apps not installing when installed from phone and not galaxy store?

No, not that I know of.
This "workaround" is only to get back more text in the notifications, which are gone after the last few updates that Samsung forced upon us.
