Photo & Video transfers from Gear to S4 not working anymore - Samsung Galaxy Gear

So I've been using my Galaxy Gear with my rooted S4 (i9500 running Arrow ROM 11) for 1.5 months and have had no problems. Yesterday I flashed my first KitKat ROM (WanamLite 4) and everything except photo/video transfer works. Every time I take a photo or video, it attempts to transfer to the phone, but seems to time out and just says 'failed' every time. Notifications, voice calls, WatchStyler faces.. all work fine, just the photo / video transfer is borked
Any ideas? Thanks in advance :silly:

[Q] A/V out of sync with Gingerbread

Running Nexus 1, stock, unrooted. Upgraded to Gingerbread OTA. While its fixed a lot of issues, its created a new really annoying one that I am hoping someone can help with. If I try to log into a video camera with sound, either it wont load or if it finally does, the audio and video are over 1 minute out of sync. This is the same regardless of wifi or 3G. Tried using an app like Tiny Cam Pro, same issue. Video loads fine, audio takes over 1 minute and then it runs buffered so it plays from the beginning but video is 1 minute ahead. Trying to connect over the standard browser, it just churns with "Loading Video". Never had a single issue with Froyo as this worked perfectly and started immediately.
Anyone else see a similar issues (i see the exact same issue with a friends N1 2.3.3 trying to connect so its not just my phone) and know how to resolve other than downgrading?
Thanks

Galaxy Note 2 Issues[Audio, S-Voice, Media Controller..]

I am having multiple problems with my Galaxy Note 2, after connecting the Galaxy Gear. All my media and ringtones play through the front-facing speaker grille, the "Find my Device" feature doesn't work, and when I try to play music through the Stock Music App, I get a message saying "Unable to play during call".. It is as if Stock Android is handling the gear as a headset, instead of Samsung Gear Manager.
I have a WIND Mobile T889v, and I tried Stock WIND 4.3 ROM, Stock T-Mobile 4.3 ROM, and Stock International 4.3 ROM (De-Knoxed)..
I think it may be the problem with the kernel? I am running Devil2 kernel, even tried multiple versions.
The weird thing is that I didn't have this problem for the first few days, then I got it, it somehow went away by itself, and now the problem consists throughout multiple ROMs. I even reset both the Gear and the Note 2 multiple times. I really dont want to return it because I love the Gear, but this is really frustrating..

I was getting the same error "Unable to play during call".
By killing Hangouts from Application Manager, music starts playing normally.
I turned off Hangouts to permanently resolve the issue.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps

Hi there!
I've had mine a few days and had the same problem with Keep. I had to re-sync all apps on the watch to get it to work.
I've not tried a browser. Good luck!

[Q] Tmobile Note 4 Lollipop - Screen Mirroring choppy video playback

I've got a Tmobile Note 4 running Lollipop (updated OTA yesterday). I use a Samsung Wireless Dongle and Screen Mirroring to watch some shows. I noticed yesterday that video playback has become extremely choppy since the Lollipop update. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I double checked my network settings and everything is working smoothly. Video playback on the Note 4 itself is just fine. Just choppy on my TV screen when Screen Mirroring through the Wireless Dongle. Any ideas about how to address this would be much appreciated. I am rooted, running stock TouchWiz Lollipop ROM, if that matters.
Try without the dongle? It does work wireless if you have a smart tv
I have the dongle because I don't have a Wi-Fi Direct/Screen Mirroring capable television. I did dig around in Application Manager and found Wi-Fi Direct Share, and I've cleared the cache and data for it. I'll try it out this evening to see if that will get it working smoothly again.
Should note that on KitKat, the Dongle worked just fine. It is a Samsung brand wireless dongle.
There is no data nor cache to clear on Screen Mirroring app itself nor on the Wi-Fi Direct app. So crossing my fingers this Wi-Fi Direct Share has something to do with it.
I have the same samsung wireless dongle but since I updated to 5.0 i havent had the chance to stream, ill give input in a few when i get home. Also i had a lot of freezing while watching movies on 4.4 not sure if you ever experienced that, it was very annoying. Also I'm stock.
Still not resolved
Wireless dongle playback is still choppy as described in OP. Interested to here from others. A better description might by jerky... Audio is just fine. Might dig around in the build.prop file later. Otherwise, any feedback from others experiencing this issue or others who might have an idea for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.
Try booting up in recovery and wiping cashe partition that seems to fix a lot of strange problems for me.
No such luck, mate. Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's bareable as is right now, but it does bug the **** out of me. Haha. I'm just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this. I'm thinking of borrowing a Chromecast off someone to see if it has the same issue. I mean, the video in every app is smooth as butter on my phone screen, but the TV is jerky ever so slightly via the Samsung Dongle. I know it's not just me because my wife who typically cares less about tech noticed it.
Leave it to good ol Sammy. Sort of like that BS way they built screen mirroring to break on rooted devices using third party (read:non Samsung dongle) back on the Note 3. Anyone have an idea of something I could try to edit in the build.prop file? Any other ideas? I found an app on the Play Store that's meant to fix Screen Mirroring issues after an update, but when loaded it doesn't give me the option to run it, apparently it thinks I am already patched. Oh. And Samsung was the manufacturer of that app, go figure. So apparently this has happened in in the past?
If all else fails, I may just try a fresh install. I'm trying to wait for the latest version of TWRP because I heard some folks have had no luck flashing ROMs through TWRP after upgrading to Lollipop OTA and then rooting (which is what I did; I never rooted on KitKat because I wanted to keep my 1 yr Sammy Warranty intact, just in case). I know tripping Knox apparently doesn't affect the Tmobile insurance, but I've read varying stories on whether it affects your Sammy factory warranty.
Well. I'm off off to play some AC Unity on the PS4. I'll check back later. Happy trails
I am experiencing the same issue ever since I updated to lollipop. Video mirroring to my Samsung smart TV very choppy.
Nobody has any possible solutions for this? Please give it a shot if you have any ideas whatsoever. Now we have two confirmed reports.
Quick update. Hard reset and even unroooting the device didn't resolve the issue. Definitely something baked into to the latest TMO stock ROM
I've even had the screen freeze on the chromecast when mirroring but audio still plays
@knarfies I used to get a similar issue with Netflix but Lollipop resolved it. So can you connect with Chrome cast, but it freezes occasionally? How often is it happening? The Samsung Dongle works without freezing audio or video but is jerky enough for me and the wife to notice. Wasn't like that on KitKat.
I'm running stock and im using the samsung dongle and the video actually plays smoother on 5.0, when I was on 4.4 it use to freeze all the time I'm not sure why is not playing gird for you guys, plus whatever I was on 4.4 the video playback in general would freez during playback even when I was not screen mirring.
I am currently rooted with a custom kernel and stock ROM, but even before the mods, it was no longer working correctly. Samsung has an app on the Play Store to patch problems with Screen Mirroring after a software upgrade, but when I downloaded it, it said I was already patched. Even after a hard reset and completely non rooted stock everything it hasn't worked perfectly like it did on KitKat since Lollipop.

calls and notifications work fine, gear wont push photos to phone after taking on watch , it tries to push but gets stuck on 0% , and yeah , call logs wont show up , rest works
Ok so it will work on my Galaxy j5 on 5.1.1 presumably. But which Gear Manager did you use, the Play Store one isn't compatible with 5.1.1 and the Galaxy apps one although installable isn't compatible with the gear 1.
I use Galaxy Apps one with Gear 1, on 5.1.1 Note Edge. Everything works just fine.
Im on Note 4 5.1.1, Gear app can't connect to my gear.
Which firmware ?.
All Good here...
