So after installing the null rom on my gear, my gear manager said I updated it and asked if it wanted to restart but I might lose some apps. I clicked cancel and now my gear is disconnected to the gear manager and I cant seem to connect them again. The gear manager is unable to find the gear after the rom installation. Anybody can help me? Also, how do you add applications on the dock of the apex launcher? The google functions dont work on my samsung gear on null rom 22.1 build. Whenever I try to connect to my google account, it says, "google manger has stopped working" and closes. Any suggestions?
Try to uninstall and install again the gear manager if not try to do a factory reset on your gear, i recommend you to do on any update a nandroid because this is a common issue that every time we receive an update from Samsung the gear restores, if you want to install another applications use google play on your gear with Bluetooth tether from your phone to the gear and you will be able to download applications from play store

Hello!
I was playing with rooted image and decided I do not really need that. so i reset my Gear, reflashed with stock and wanted to set it up to my liking.
Turned out that the Featured Apps list now is not including some of the apps - the ones I had installed on the rooted image. Of course this are the ones I really want......
I was able to install ebay, runtastic and spedometer from apk's I found in another thread. But Evernote and Glympse will not install, they just say "Not installed" at the end of install.
Also - when I go to Samsung Apps in Gear manager the apps I want are impossible to download as they just say "View in Gear Manager".
Also - the apps mentioned show in Notifications section of Gear Manager but not on the watch.
Any idea hot to reset Gear Manager to get rid of the problem?
BTW: I tried removing GM and reinstalling - of course the problem is still there.
Thx.
as title, I have just installed wondershare on my pc and sideloaded mx player, angry birds and a couple of other apk files. my watch and phone (s4) are both stock unrooted and running the latest gear manager and watch software.
now after about 5 minutes I get a notification on the gear that it has disconnected from the phone and the sideloaded apks have gone. they still show up on wondershare but have to be uninstalled and reinstalled to show on the gear.
The installed apps work fine after installing them, and I didnt I have this issue when I 1st played with it at Christmas on my wondershare trial , but the trail ran out and I updated things.
So is this a problem with the gear manager software? or the gear itself? or me?
Use an older version of gear manager

hi ,
first ,it is not a Wondershare "problem "but i think its just "Sammy" that not to happy to let us sideload on Gear ??
As this issue with apps, worked 100% on previous rom and Gear Manager software untill a" few " versions" back .
yes ,i have same problem ( using rom NA6 and Gear Manager v1.6.132701 )
but it does not worry me ,as i know apps are working ..etc
i use a workaround , Thus having benefits of latest software /ROM and gear manager (unless its really buggy )
if you want to ,all you have to do is reboot Gear and if you look in 'apps 'section on your Gear ,
all your sideloaded apps should show ( before they evenually disappear from "apps " section.)
i launch each app once and close it straight away .( the reason is that it is in memory of recent use app )
if i need to launch a sideloaded app i tap screen with 2 fingers on screen , and hold to bring up all recent used apps and select relevant app ?
(No need to reinstall etc .)
also yes,
you should get it right, with previous version of Gear manager
but you would have to go back 2 ..3 versions mabe to vers .1.5......?
(but you are going to lose other" improved benefits eg. like better bluetooth stability between phone and Gear ? etc.
just an alternative suggestion if you interested
Previous posters solution works however.....I have experienced the same issue tonight after the most recent upgrade to Gear software. Rebooting worked also. My fault as I wanted to restore to factory settings to remove QuickTwit from Notifications (a bug). The upgrade did offer a restore which I didn't take D'Oh!! I then did a restore via Wondershare.
I found that the approved Samsung apps like eBay for Gear and RadiOn although restored to the Gear via Wondershare had to be installed to Gear Manager by installing the apps from scratch.
Now all the apps don't disappear after 5 mins. Co-Incidence?
However, they do not appear on the list of downloaded apps, as they did with the previous version of Gear Manager.
Do also make sure the 3rd party app permissions box is ticked on the Gear Manager too.

thanks for the reply, however your method does not work for me, after a reboot of the watch the sideloaded apps are not there??
looks like I am going to have to root the watch.

Going back from Gear Manager v1.6 to v1.5 fixed issue for me. There's a nice collection of Gear Managers in this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2593066
I hope it was just a bug in Gear Manager v1.6, and Samsung is not really trying to prevent sideloading.
Samsung has screwed us, early adopters again and they disabled certain apps to show notifications (Gmail being one of them).
Phuck them! Not the first, not the last time... but if you want to get your notifications back, just uninstall gear manager and install this file - Gear Manager_2.1.14071502.apk - i did it, and now i have my notifications back.
NEVER EVER AGAIN perform any updates to gear manager.
This is not a fully solution, day later, the Gear Manager shows up a notification, make update.
I deleted my Manager, and install again 502 version*, then I try to block connection by AFWall+ for Samsung Apps aka Galaxy Apps (anyway, this is a only place where we can find Gear Manager) and when I start a Gear Manager, I see black screen for 1,5s and then "set your personal....."
* and he ask me to upgrade a Watch, so I pressed YES and later I just got a naked Apex
Later I try do this again on my other gear
my fix
I kept getting unfortunately saproviders has stopped also no notifications so i found saproviders in app mangers and cleared the cache and now my notifications are working again.
I am so VERY frustrated!!!
I had to factory reset my Galaxy S5 since it had a bug that drained the battery even while on charge.
After restoring the phone and reconnecting my Gear 2 Neo all of the apps from the Gear App Market I had previously downloaded are not available for download again.
Each app I had is shown in the market as already on the Neo and stated as viewable in 'My apps' but none of the apps are shown on the device or Gear Manager.
So
I can't reinstall previously installed apps on my GEAR 2 NEO?
PLEASE help!!

I have same problem.
I would uninstall the gear manager from the device. At that point it will remove all Gear stuff. If not you may have to factory reset. If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to force remove the apps
Solved

I managed to solve the issue. However this was not done by simply uninstalling Gear Manager.
1. First Factory reset Gear device
2. Unpair Gear from bluetooth menu in your phone/tablet
3. Clear Data and Clear Cache on everything relating to the Gear on the phone/tablet. (these can be all found in the Application Manager in Settings and are all marked with the Gear icon)
Gear Plugin
GearModule
goproviders
HostManager
Samsung Accessory Service
Samsung Gear
saproviders
SASystemProviders
Update Gear software
4. After clearing data and cache on each of the above uninstall them all.
5. Restart your phone/tablet/phablet
6. Download Gear Manager from Galaxy App store
7. Search for your Gear device using the Gear Manager app and start pairing with Gear (as if for the first time).
8. At this point i chose not to do a restore on the Gear device through the Gear Manager so I had a clear slate
All of the apps I had previously downloaded still showed in my purchase history but were now available to download.
Hope this works for others!

It worked. Thank you very much for your time and detailed instructions. ????
Hi guys.
I decided to open up this thread to share with you my experience of how to pair samsung galaxy gear 1 SM-V700 with your Samsung device after updating your watch to Tizen OS and your device to Lollipop.
I experienced massive battery drain on the watch like 10% every hour. So:
1. Factory resetted the watch.
2. Tried to connect to Gear manager. Failed on waiting for confirmation from gear manager. Many times and many trials.
How to:
1. Uninstall gear manager completely from your Samsung phone.
2. Unpair your watch from bluetooth settings in phone.
3. Reboot your phone.
4. Open up samsung galaxy apps and download gear manager again.
5. Open up gear manager. It will tell you you have to update the software and it starts installing modules.
Once done:
6. Reboot your phone. Reboot your watch.
7. Open bluetooth settings in phone device and make bluetooth visible. Tick the option.
8. Open gear manager (while bluetooth is visible) and it will search for gear.
9. The setup then will guide you to complete the pairing.
10. Done.
Now. For the battery drain issue I noticed it is because of Tizen apps I installed from Samsung apps such as (fleksy keyboard, watch styler , look behind, etc...). So keep your watch with as less apps as possible.
And manage your notification apps to have only the ones you need.
Results :
For the past 2 hours, watch battery dropped only 1% in two hours.
Good luck.

uninstalling Gear app
How do you completely uninstall the Gear Manager? I see the option to disable updates, which allows me to go back to the factory version of Gear Manager, but I don't see an option to completely uinstall. I'm guessing I need to find the individual files and delete those? Can someone tell me how to do that?
Is your device rooted ? If yes then use titanium backup to wipe app data and Uninstall it
