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.
Cheers, Jorge
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
Thanks!
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 ?
I recently bought a Galaxy gear with the intention of connecting it to my S4. However the app says it doesn't exist. Is there a way to install it from somewhere else than Samsung Apps ? If so , does anyone have a link and maybe some basic instructions ? ( Android n00b here )

I've had a gear for about a month now, and found one thing to be a bit of a pain: I don't have s health on my gs3, and want to sync my pedometer activity.
I also tried using the myfitnesspal app, but that seemed to use a lot more battery life, and didn't actually sync...
Your experiences?

Same problem with Galaxy Note 2 - why is there no S Health App in Android 4.3 for the Note 2?

I am not rooted, and tried just installing the apk's before, so I'm supposing.you copied things to system to get it working?

So, I installed s-health from the link provided, but it does not connect to Gear. Is there something I am missing? I tried the bluetooth tab, it shows the gear, buit does not provide a connection. In gear manager, under the pedometer app, transfers are still greyed out.
I have a rooted S3 i747 (AT&T)

well it runs 4.2.2 so everything i have tried that runs on 4.2.2 runs on Gear. also if you want Gear specific like to be in their official app store then take a look at this.
You can find the SDK in all the gear apps..
They share all the same library's, analyze these library's and the SDK will be revealed.
Will it be possible to sideload the Gear Manager App from samsung on to the Nexus 6?
and will it work with the Gear S?
the answer may no because gear manger may need some Touchwiz things to work. If you do a search for Gear manger on other devices and it has already been done before, I am sure it could be done again. However if no other device has it working, you most likely won't see it on the N6

I see in other xda Samsung Gear forums I see that others have made it work on non-Samsug touchwiz devices...it is that will not for us since we are on Lollipop when manually loading those files fail for me?
