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.

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

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.

i have an S4 and cannot get weather or texts to work! Samsung needs to give us 4.3 on the ATT i337 now!
Any cyanogenmod S4 users have any success using the gear ?
Has anyone experience problem with limited app choice in samsung app store?
I've recently submited app for samsung app store, and it seems like samsung is categorizing gear apps by phone + gear model.
Everything is ok, but some models (notably Note 3 + Gear 1 Tizen) are missing from the list, so I can't download my (GetUp! Alarm Clock) and any other new app from the store. I just have some basic apps + watch faces which really sucks
Expecially that Note 3 + Gear 1 is quite popular combo.
Anyone can confirm this? What can we do about that?

Quick fix: I've masked my Duos as a normal S3 using Device Spoofer.
Over hand: Nerving Samsung. I cant see any sence of that. Its Bullsh...

That's strange.
I have selected all countries availiable so it shouldn't be the case.
It seems I can't be sure where and how my app is avaiable... And I don't have any way to verify it...
The only hint I have are two user comments, both written from S5 / gear 1 tizen.
I am running a nexus 5. I spoofed the Samsung s5. And am able to install the Samsung app store and browse apps. Sadley downloading/installing give me a fail. However the galaxy gear manager does not have a list for the Samsung apps market. Either the on android or 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!

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!

Install on the phone. If this doesn't work for you then a custom ROM for the gear should be your best bet

Calls are directed to the gear and for some reason I can't add my bluetooth headset as the audio only. i have tried diabling the phone audio option for the Gear but it still sends the calls to it. I'll keep messing around with the settings to see how it works. Last night I was able to install watchstyler on the phone by installing the apk and i can use those clocks now. Also, the watch is on non-stock Android rom from these forums.

Hi, you are using Gear1? Tizen or Android? Sounds very interesting if this procedure works with gear manager 2.2, gear1 tizen and non Samsung lollipop!

Nice attemp my friend solrac21. I look forward to hear your outcome on the compatibility. I'm on Z Ultra, and want to jump to the ship of Lollipop, as soon as Gear Manager works on Lollipop !
Hello Friends, i have the Galaxy Gear with a HTC One M7 ... apparently works but i have two issues,
1) the pics taked by the gear did not sync with the phone.
2) The gear have not load the phone contacts. (There is really important for me)
Somebody have information about it?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using the beanstalk ROM and can't find the apk for galaxy gear that works, all the ones I have tried have force closed.
That's not a question!
llol is the note 4 compatible with the galaxy gear? and if so, is there an apk for the gear manager lol
