Bluetooth headset+gear as mp3 player - Samsung Galaxy Gear

My question is simple, but I didn't find the answer on the web.
Let say I do like running. So is it possible to connect directly bluetooth headphones to the gear to play music while I am running and not to carry GN3 with me?

Do you not need to have the gn3 with or close to you to be able to use the gear since the gear is connected to the Phone through bluetooth?

Unless you have music stored on the watch but I'm not sure that's possible since you can only control music on your phone from the watch

No, I have Null Rom on my gear. I would like to put some music to the gear and go running with it. I dont need Note 3 with me.
That is why I ask is it possible

i own a bluetooth headset, gear discovers it but it's unable to connect.
now this might due to some missing stuff of android. i'm still on old null 11 that works well for me so i see no reason to upgrading now, but perhaps it's possible with newer version?
i would like to be able to stream music from it as well.. running with note 3 in your pocket is not really confident.

This would be nice but we seem to be limited on Bluetooth connectivity in the USA. I know that you can put music files and play them through the Gear's speaker, by sideloading programs like Apollo, it works really well.

I would like to be able to do this also. On Null rom 15 currently, have sidloaded many apps, one of which is poweramp. I can also sideload MP3's, but if I can't pair my BT headphones it doesn't do much good. Hoping someone can find a way of using BT headphones with the Gear as a stand alone.

F0mey hasn't been able to get a Bluetooth profile that works for this
You can ofcourse put music on (only 4gb storage though!) and sideload a music app

Please help me out in this
I own a galaxy gear and a Bluetooth headset , i would like play music on galaxy gear and hear it on bluetooth headset. So my question is it possible to connect galaxy gear to Bluetooth headset. Pls help me out, I'm 13 yrs old so be more specific.
Thanx in advance

You can do this if you change your gear over to tizen. I am now running tizen and have two apps for media, one called media controller (controls media on the phone) the other called media player (allows gear to run as a stand alone media player with bluetooth headphones)

I'm not sure if it will work or not but this app has let me pair problematic headsets with certain stubborn devices in the past https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.qrr.android.btoolkit
It's worth a shot installing on the gear and testing....

i heard Null rom unlocks the BT stack and allows you to connect to other BT devices just like a normal Android device?? is this true or we really have to move to tizen?

Null does allow pairing with some bluetooth profiles such as hid. I've successfully paired and used a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the gear. However a bluetooth headset, speaker or headphones requires a2dp profile. This is missing in the android version but available with tizen.
I'd love to have this function working with null as the hardware is obviously capable of it. I'm not prepared to give up null for this function as it would mean giving up lots of other functions I enjoy. I'm guessing you'd need to add the profile maybe from porting from a compatible Rom but that's way beyond my ability.

Ah thanks for clarification, sadly this is the main reason I buy gear one, to direct stream music to Bluetooth. Well, let see..

did anyone managed to pair it with Null?
Im surfing all over the net and there is no other way to do it unless you install stupid Tizen that has close to none of awesome abilities like Null. Is there any way to pair the gear 1 with headphones and run it like mp3. Or is there a way to have dualboot for gear 1? Having tizen and null and beingable to pick up booting aint that bad and it would do the trick

sorry to disagree but i like tizen. how many hours you gear can last with null? fyi i tried null for few days long time ago, so apologies if the battery life is now improved. but i like tizen, battery life is probably the best amongs android gear and apple watch. plus i can connect direct to bt headset. and tizen has camera

Up to 3 days if i dont listen to music on it. Anyway i dont like Tizen becosue i dont have any chance to install google browser, no youtube, mxplyaer, Rocket player, Facebook Lite or anything. When im at work i cant sneaky check anything on phone becouse i dont want to risk to break my phone but i can go with watch and since it has a nice BT range its usefull. But when im runing i dont want to holde huge ass z3 in my pocket again and pair it with headphones since i already have a bt capable device that can already play music with awesome equalizers. Rocket Player is one of the best out there and unless someone finds a way to get Tizen to instal all the aps that im using, there is no way ill instal that rom. Way to useless curently

Smartwatch With Bluetooth Headphones?

Hi
I was just wondering if this, or any other smartwatch, can be used in conjunction with bluetooth headphones? Or can only one bluetooth device be connected to phone at the same time?
This could prove to be a massive dealbreaker for me.
Cheers for any info
Good question as I have a set of Motorola Bluetooth headphones.
Ian B
I could swear that I read somewhere someone has a note 3 paired with a gear and using some Bluetooth headphones. I believe they claim they can user the controls on either the headphones and watch to make and receive calls. So, could use the watch to answer and would be using the Bluetooth headset for the mic and speaker.

I have been only able to connect my bt headset for music while the gear is set to phone audio. I really wish there was a way to disable that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
I mean it doesn't really make much sense to not have that. Would be ideal being able to see who is ringing via the watch but speaking and listening via the headset.
That IMO is what it's all about. Not many people are wanting to talk into their watch and listen via a loudspeaker

That is not possible except if you have a Note 3 or a Note 2 with the leaked 4.3 from Samsung
I have a Note 8 3g with I use as main phone-tablet during working days, 4.2.2, and acquired a gear. Everything (more or less....) was working except the handling of the bluetooth headset. It maybe related some software piece from Samusung included on the official 4.3.
I have seen the update on 4.3 plan and my device looks not included until maybe end of the year or early next January.... uff, sami, you are loosing a customer.
Finally, after test with 2 diferent gears, I have decided to acquire a sony smartwatch sw2 which works like a charm with the note 8 3g. You can imagine for me, using the tablet 8" as phone, that no possible without a bluetooth headset. The other option was to talk through the watch and it looks stupid and no possible to have confidentiality in the calls.....

I used my LG Tones+ headset to pair up while my watch was also paired. It does work, but I had to press a button on my headset to let it know to go to that device. By pressing the headset button while in the call, the watch picked up the phone call first, then I pressed a button on my Tones headset to get it over to that. By answering the the Tones headset, it goes straight there.

What phone and android version do you have?
Ok well its good to know it can work.. I will wait until my Note II gets updated and see if the agent smartwatch/gear 2 have to offer before I decide.
In no rush but I'll probably get a smartwatch at some point. I just don't want it to affect usage of my bluebuds x bluetooth earphones.
On my N3 I have both a Gear and my car stereo blue toothed at the same time. All works fine.

This. I forgot about this. I have Ford Sync and it works fine as well. I answer texts using S Voice on my watch and still make phone calls over Sync.
I am using the Gear in combination with a Note 3 and a Pair of Sony MDR-1RBT's and they work flawlessly. The Gear doesn't interfere with Bluetooth Audio on the phone.

Hi,
IF this is the case why spend a fortune on the gear and not make use of its potential? Why not purchase the new Sony 11? That would give you the notifications you require plus the ability to use a BT head set?
Just a thought.

I don't think its very feasible for the vast majority of people to use the watch as a loudspeaker/phone for privacy issues + annoying everyone else.
I wasn't planning on getting the gear anyway as I don't think it's a good buy. (Given its price). I plan to wait until the gear 2 or agent smartwatch arrive. It would also be nice to also be able to use it see change tracks, view album art/info for music too while listening to music through bluetooth earphones too.
In essence, I don't agree that being forced to speak to the watch on loudspeaker in front of everyone is using the watch to its potential. I find this more a massive drawback than a positive. Being able to use my earphones to listen is, IMO, the full potential.
Hopefully this will be the case with all these watches, as it is the most logical.
It works for me now. The gear and my BT works now since I got back on to MI9 firmware

Hey There - I have the Sony SW 2, but was thinking of selling it to get the Gear, my question is how do you pair both the smartwatch and bluetooth to work simultaneously (to have the ability to use the watch to screen calls, and the headset to answer calls)?

I use the set of NOTE3 + MW600 + Gear - so far it works fine.
However - I have MW1 headset and .... it does not work with NOTE 3 - each time You start the phone call it is necessary to manually activate "headset" on the phone!

What year sync do you have? I have a 2009 Sync and mine disconnects Sync from phone audio whenever I try to make a call. Reconnecting works for 5 seconds then disconnects. Even after disconnecting the gear from bluetooth, sync is still doing this now.
I am wondering if i can use the Galaxy S as a standalone after pairing it with my N4. I would like to use a bluetooth headset paired with the watch so i don't have to use the speaker mode. IS that possible? Has anyone tried this?

On the chinese GV09s / (U8 ?) phone, you can successfully connect a BT headset directly
In BT dialer, you can select 'new device' and next put your BT headset in pairing.
The BT headset can be used for 'local music', (SIM) direct phone, radio etcetera. It works nice

connect bluetooth headset with the gear

Hello guys,
I'm very interessting in getting the galaxy gear but first I want to know if it is possible to connect a bluetooth headset to the the watch after installing the nova launcher, and also install a music player and store some music in the 4go storage. otherwaise the MOTOACTV is more interresting watch.
Thanks
It is possible to connect Bluetooth headset with Gg, was a topic right here. I don't think the launcher metters,Nova or touchwiz but maybe some of other feature will.not work without touchwiz. But why to copy music to watch.. I don't get it. Just buy a cheap 16 or 32 GB microsd and you have a lot of space for music...

The gear doesn't have a scanning option to search for available Bluetooth pairing devices. It only has the option to make the gear discoverable and enable\disable Bluetooth. The GN3 only has 1 option under bluetooth profile settings, enable/disable call audio. If you uncheck, the gear disconnects from the GN3. No options available for media under bluetooth settings. Please assist. This was my primary reason for purchasing the watch.

1st of all, thanks for the reply. :good:
I would prefer to get this same functionality from the Gear if possible, without spending another $200-$250 for another gadget with a singular purpose.
Since this is a developers site, the watch is rooted, has confirmed mp3 player capability and has bluetooth, I was hoping someone could address it from a software aspect. It needs A2DP audio streaming to the bluetooth headset directly from the watch. Is this possible?

I guess you will have to wait few months to see if that's possible. For me I couldn't wait but in the end I m quite disapointed with the device especially when using the app runtastic

Yeah, I think Runtastic needs GPS to be truly beneficial. I read some where that the Gear 2 will have GPS, wifi and better battery life. It supposed to be in development now for a possible 1st quarter 2014 release.

Connection

Anyone has any idea, why if you go outside the phones range GEAR disconnects, but when you come back it does not want to connect automaticly.
I mean this watch got to get a update soon. with all the problems and lack of software.
OK, maybe I got it.
If you go to Bluetooth settings and click GEAR, you got the choose:
-automatic connection
-ask me every time.
So automatic will be.
But I will not test it, because I already put it on local ebay for 199 eur.
PROBLEMS that Samsung has to fix, or the hell with them:
-controlling music via gear to your phone
-giving the option that gear connects to your phone only with the connection and not with the media. (can not use BT ear set to listen to music) like pebble
-automatic disabling the screen when you go to sleep mode
-giving the alarm in the gear directly and not over the phone
-when answering a phone call with the phone and not the gear, sound comes from the phone instead on the gear (this is the stupid thing ever. I answer the phone and people scream on my wrist)
this is the list witch i can not live without, so come quickly my moto 360.

These two have me confused by exactly what you mean. Obviously you are getting rid of it, im more just curious if im understanding correctly.
I have a BT headset connected and have listened to music directly from my Neo while its still connected to my phone, is this not what you mean?
And when i answer a call from my phone, it comes through my phone, so i am confused by this one as well.

WHAT I meant:
I. example
1 (pebble , phone, BT headset)
All are connected, I can listen to my music which is on my phone, control it via pebble (volume up/down, next song pause....) and listen on my BT headset (BEATGO2)
2. (GEAR and BT Headset)
OK, you can only have 2,4 GB of music on GEAR (for the first time is OK, but I'm not gona change all the time my music collection
I connect BT headset via GEAR and listen to music.
3. (Not possible)
My GEAR connects to my phone. Now I want to listen to my music and put my BT headset. I connect my BT headset and my GEAR immediately disconnects.
Now I can not control my music via GEAR but via BT headset and I don't have GEAR ONLINE so it suxs. And after music, I have to manually connect my GEAR to my phone, and than my BT headset disconnects.
II. example
My gear is connected to my phone (which is the main part of the smart watch).
I got a call. I quickly pull out my phone and answer the phone. I start talking on my phone, but sound is coming not through my phone , but through my GEAR.
Microphone and speaker are on GEAR, I have to click BT speaker OFF on my PHONE to talk through my phone. EVERY TIME. And I don't like to talk all the time over GEAR, In crowded places NO GO.
I wanted to disconnect PHONE functions on my BT setting on my GEAR connection, but there is not a possibility. If i just click anything on GEAR , it just disconnects.
And I will not click every time that i have a call. First ANSWER that quickly BT disconnect,.(it is just stupid)
I hope you all have a good picture of the problem.
Am I missing something in setting or what.
OK, I don't have Samsung phone , I have LG G2, but any case It shouldn't do this.
Im guessing the phone call thing happens to be a downfall of not using a TW device? Seems maybe the phone sees the watch as a headset and tries communicating that way? just a theory.
I think your issue is using a non Samsung phone and thinking a device that's only officially compatible with Samsung phone's will and should work fully.
And finally what gets me angry is people not reading what a device can do BEFORE buying it! If you don't then the only person to blame is yourself and not the company.

why, I know it's not compatible, And I know it works... but this are the small problems, that no one knows before you try. I would go in one minut to SGS4 but I love my G2 and no Samsung for me. Been there done that.
So thanks for the info, than on Samsung phone, calls work.
We are one step closer.
Still I don't know if I'm gona sell it. I put 200 eur so in other way I'm gona wait for the update and work it than. (I like this watch... but...)
I have no option on my z1 for automatic reconnect, and have same trouble when getting out of range, the gear never reconnect unless I toggle bluetooth off and on ( on watch or on phone) or clicking connect in gear manager. Must be a drawback for not using samsung phone as it works with my bluetooth headset.
Call works perfectly though.
If your on a phone that says auto reconnect make sure you hit it, I had to test it with my wife's phone just to make sure it worked properly....If you have a Samsung phone it will auto this for you.....If you have a phone that doesn't have either feature ask your manufacturer about it or ask about it the Q&A section of XDA in device category to see how activate this feature.

i have problem reconnect too, i'm using s4 zoom and every time my gear is getting back to range its not reconnecting.

any ideas?

AFAIK there isn't any, jump to tizen for that purpose
f0mey (OP of null_) said he would look into it, but he gave up development on it as I think he doesn't have the right files/sources to implement it and his rom is at a state where there's nearly nothing more to add...

streaming music from galaxy gear with Bluetooth

[Q]is there a way to stream music from a galaxy gear with a Bluetooth headset?
Yes. The gear has to be on a Tizen release. Then you can load music onto the gear and pair the gear with Bluetooth headphones, or an external speaker and rock on!

Yes- I am on Android using Null_Rom. This gives you access to your internal folders like Tizen, except you have the freedom of Android. I sideloaded Rocket Player (music player app that works well on the Gear) and can easily connect to a BT speaker.

Rocket player with android on Galaxy Gear lets you stream media?
Hard to believe that no one figure this out yet
galaxy gear pairs with headset but doesn't give a option connect to device
looks like its missing files
Thanks for your reply!
I gave this app a try but it lacks the files needed to establish a connection.
after looking into the matter ive notice that Galaxy Gear is missing connection files.
It allows to pair with headset the same way as phones but You can not tap on the device lables (even the phone) in the bluetooth menu to connect to the device the way normal bluetooth connection works .
I tried installing bluetooth fix app, the app gave me error message that the GGear is missing bluetooth folder.
I know alot of people would like to see this function working on Galaxy Gear without going to Tizen, if we could get a Dev to give us hand or if we get some insight on how the bluetooth connection works would be a step forward in getting this to work
i will bookmark this, currently waiting shipment for GG1.
i do hope can play abit with the stock rom, and then root, install null, before jump to tizen. i really need this function bluetooth streaming because i cant carry my note mobile while jogging with my bluetooth headset. so unless there is tweak to make bluetooth works on android, i need to use tizen.
anyway, i heard null rom has bad battery life, if you stream mp3 would this make the battery life even worse?
