[Q] Did anyone else receive the V700XXUBNA6 update? - Samsung Galaxy Gear

I received this update this morning which adds an Email app to the Gear but there is no info on how to set it up. There does not seem to be much buzz on the internet about this update either.
Does anyone know anything about this update?
Thanks!!
PJ

No update here. Still on V700XXUAMK7.

hi , dont know much about your OTA ,but have been using NA6 for a "few weeks" now and so have other forum users .(Flashed it with odin )
here is the original thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639495
(you can read this thread if you want to .)
NA6 is stable and battery use is fine.Cannot complain.
using it with Gmanager v 1.6.132701

Not that I've heard. I am on V700XXUBML1.

Yes, i updated yesterday, but nothing seem diffrent, there is one bug i see, if i slide to left fromt the watch face i get a blank page.
i don't know what is that page suppost to be.
hope can find away to fix this.

hi ,
first of all don't think it is a bug on Rom NA6 ,( i have no such issue,using NA6 and Gmanager v 1.6.132701 )
This happenned, a few times to me in past and other forum members , on other Rom 's( and it was always the relevant Gear manager version )
I fixed this by staying on relevant Rom, but going back a version /or so, to Gear manager version , that works 100%
.i suggest to check/try other version of Gear manager( you can search Gear forum, all Gear manager version is posted here somewhere ).
Plse note ,best is to do a clean "reset " when installing and pairing Gear manager( on phone ) and Gear.( watch )
Usually it was the" notification tab" that was missing on Gear )
Only" bug" i found on this Rom NA 6 was if you sideload ,apps
,it will disappear from"" apps" on Gear watch ( but in reality apps are still present on Gear ) .
A reboot fixes it temporary , otherwise use "recent apps/tap and hold two finger on watch , to find sideloaded apps .
good luck

Reset your gear. Happened to me when I selected restore. Resetting the gear corrected the blank page.

Thanks for the response guys, Does anyone know how to use the email app that was added to the watch?
There are no settings for it in the gear manager. Perhaps its for a future update?

Thank guys,
i'll try to reset the gear first.

I just got the update yesterday and something is making the battery drain like crazy.

i think after doing the update i lost the weather infos on my gear. Nothing else bad here. anyone experiencing the same problem?

Really, really dumb question.. How do we check for updates?

just a heads up.. if your gear is working perfectly, do not update. it's not worth with dealing new problems. no new functionality has been added, otherwise i'm sure they would be promoted.

Per @SamsungSupport (and I also verified), the Email app icon is only used to view the native email client's notifications. This sounds cool, except that our Gears already receive notifications for that, so not only is having the app icon redundant, the stock email notifications can no longer be deleted. In notifications, the little email icon will show like you had a notification, like Gmail, etc... except when you click on it, it says no notifications. I had to reset my Gear to remove the blank notification. (Tweetview, anyone? )It is not a stand alone email app that lets you see all of your emails, etc.

My sided loaded apps are no longer showing either. Is this because of the na6 and 1.6 combo? I tried to flash an earlier gear manager version, but it kept updating me to the latest one after I installed it.. Any thoughts?

I also got the update - here is the changelog.
It appeared after i tried to install the new version of Gear Manager (1.7.031004) from Galaxy S5.

[APP] Gear Getter - based off Pebble Notifier - v1.2 <No More Development>

UPDATED - v1.2 removes the double messages from some apps, fixes another bug.
I wanted a way to get other notifications to the Gear without having to run another client app on the Gear.
There is another project (ATN) that initially used the Email notification to do this. I liked this approach because it was simple, used the gear manager as the delivery mechanism, and the Email notification app on the gear which is robust enough to handle long notifications.
I reached out to Dattas Moonchaser, who wrote the popular Pebble Notifier to see if I could use his app as my base. He obliged so here it is....
Install this on your phone, there is nothing to install on the Gear. The only thing you need to know is to go into Accessibility settings and give Gear Getter permissions (it has a big RED link for this when you launch the app). Also make sure you have Email notification checked in the Gear Manager.
Here are some better instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47449016&postcount=119
Once you enable Accessibility you are able to setup your apps you want to receive notifications from. Couple cool things..
- There is the ability to setup filters
- Ability to setup quiet times
- There is tasker integration (I haven't messed with this)
- This reads the data from the expanded view so you should get pretty robust notifcations
- Easy on the battery
If you feel the need to donate, please do it from the app, and it will go to Dattas who would appreciate it.

Quick question..
I did not install anything yet but I wanted to understand this. Do we install on both the gear and the phone ?
Where does it pull information from ?
I never used the app before, I just wanted some more info before I experiment with it.
And does it require 4.3 ?
Thanks
Can you read the notifications from the gear with this ?.

You only install it on the phone, there is nothing to install on the gear. It uses the built in Email notification on the gear to display the notifications.
You tell it which apps you want to receive notifications from on your gear.
This doesn't require 4.3, but the Gear Manager does (which this uses).

This send notifications from your phone (for the applications you select) to the gear, using the Email notification on the gear to display them.
Thanks, checking it out. I want to see if I can get Instagram notifications. I will report back.
So far so good! Gmail is sending full subject and body of emails! However, when you click "Show On Device" it launches the stock email client instead of gmail. It sounds like that's because it uses the email notification methods.

Great! The logic for getting the notification details is pretty battle tested so I would expect the content it sends to the gear to be pretty good and mostly match what you would see in an expanded notification on your phone.
The Show On Device I don't think I will get to be able to actually work to open the app on the phone....
Tried twice to install apk and it crashes my Note 3, it reboots on it's own and the apk is not installed .
Strange it doesn't do anything at my end.. I do not get any notifications. Could possibly show a short video of how it works??? Do I need to select the Email in Gear Manager .. Cause I aint getting any Noti's....

Under FilterList in the settings it states Pebble. FYI.
Ok, this does not work for me. Although it is probably because I running an S4 on 4.2 so far. Waiting for the update to be online.
I'll have to wait for the update to get me to 4.3 for the gear manager to work properly. I have limited functionality still
UPDATE : Well, email does not work, only get recipients name showing, but on the other hand, texting works (using sms pro)
But everything displays double, I mean I see the text and who is from and then under s separator I see it again with just a bit smaller fonts. Don't know why, maybe a setting I need to play with ?
I am glad at least for the texts for now.
Ok strange , after i boot into stock rom and then back to rom slot i installed .

LOL thanks, must have missed that one... It will work for the Gear even though it says Pebble.
I would like to point out that using this method if you use the stock browser it will talk to you and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to stop it.
Also last I knew if you were on a note 2 it will also talk when opening and closing folders and when switching home screens

Crazy! I use Chrome so didn't notice but you are right. More research shows its a bug with Samsung. I'll switch over to the 4.3 method using the security setting in the next few days. Until then I suggest using Chrome.

Google Edition KitKat & The Galaxy Gear

I just tried a KitKat GE rom on my i9505, To my surprise the gear paired up !
You need to make sure you have the relevant gear apks in /system/app.. although it did pair up fine..
I'll give more information on this shortly.. going to verify everything works as intended.
EDIT: To my surprise, the latest version of kitkat comes preloaded with the needed gear manager files.
All that is really needed is accuweather & gear manager and your set!
EDIT 2: In saying that, its no where near stable to be used as a daily driver, random reboots & wifi connectivity issues.
Although its nice to know its being incorporated.
Hmmm...I wonder what files it needs to make notifications work. I'm getting nothing on my Nexus5 even though it is set to send them

Make sure you install gearmanagerstub (I copied to system/app and then ran it to install). Then you need to install the extra apk files separately. All downloads available in link in my sig

Does Everything work? Contacts? dialer etc? Whats the problem with stability? Is it due to the 4.4 ROM you are using or with the gear mangaer? I got a real S4 GE edition and wourld love to have the Gear
For any one in the future going through what I did: YOU NEED THE STUPID " GearManagerStub.apk " for watch to work!!! OMFG what a waste of time to get this working!!!

I was able to get Gear Manager automatically installed on my i9505g as well using the NFC bump.
It seems none of the notifications work other than phone calls. I can't get Gmail or Hangouts to notify the GG. Have you had any luck with this? I was able to enable those notifications in Gear Manager, they just don't work.
Anyone tried it with the recent 4.2.2 update?

Samsung GPE devices dont need this, they contain touchwiz frameworks..
As per the notifications working, I recently tried to get them working although did not have any luck doing so..
It seems not all the APK's are being installed, media controller provider APK is not installing.. I havnt figured out why !
Also it seems that the services gear manager uses are not starting, may be due to all the initial APK's not being installed I assume..
I believe if we can get all the APK's that gear manager initially installs completed successfully, it will trigger the services to start.

improved notification ?

In the gear manager, there are more options in Notifications. Make sure you have the latest, or one of the latest versions of Gear Manager.
I was wondering the same thing I only get some of my notifications well like one some far and that's email not gmail just email app messages never gotten any text messages gmail messages (email) or fb IG nothing and I checked all the options in the gear manager notification under settings any idea or advice would be greatly appreciated?

Hi
Does anyone else have problems with notifications? For me they work for few hours and then they stop working and only rebooting the phone fixes it.
It happened to me today...
Non of notifications alerted on my gear 2....
Restarting the gear, no change, restarting the phone... the notification is back
I do have notification but I don't get any details about it, no preview of the messages at all, just that I should check details on my phone... ridiculous! they do it on purpose...
I have found that I only get notifications on the Gear when the phone screen is on. If the phone screen is off, no notifications except Gmail.

With the new gear manager update i seem to be getting my notifications more consistantly, but also, like you, have lost all detail to them. Only the fact that I got a notification and what it came from (text, email,...). It no longer gives the text or email body.
I would love to hear if someone has a fix for this.

The issue is you updated galaxy gear manager.
There is a new setting in it to control it the notification has a preview, or just to tell which app gave the notification.
Seems like this setting only works for tizen os.
I updated to tizen using these instructions and all works again.

Good luck.
I didn't feel the need to update to tizen. I liked android and my watch styler. But preview of messages is a necessity.

Weird. That option has always been available
I dont rememeber which thread i got this File saprovider , all you have to do is Force close GearManager , then uninstall Saprovider "settings > application manager " then install the one from link.
this should fix everything , stop battery drain and make it works as it should be, notification and media control ... etc
Just incase , stop auto update from samsung app market.
Tried the saproviders.apk mod, and it still didnt bring back complete notifications.
All WhatsApp notifications show as "WhatsApp" instead of the senders name, which is kinda useless.
Cant stop Gear Manager from updating, as there is no option.
If you hit cancel, it will exit. If you hit update, it will update even without samsung Apps, as it's updating independently now.
I know this because I don't have Samsung Apps on My phone.
yeah its damn force update again and mess up everything again
I'm getting notifications, but no popup on my gear. They show in the notifications app on the gear, though. Sad days...

R381XXU0BNL2 New Firmware Changes?

My Gear 2 Neo just got updated to R381XXU0BNL2, I've been trawling the internet for a changelog without any luck.
All I have noticed so far is the android/tizen version has been increased to 2.2.1.2
link: LINK TO SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE PAGE
Anyone noticed any other changes?
(still wishing someone would port Android wear to the watch)
hi i just received the same update,the only thing i noticed is that is smoother than before. (By the way i wish someone can port android wear too)
I assume Samsung Gear (ex Manager) and Watch Styler still work? I have mine set for manual updates check - doesn't seem that the new ROM is available in Canada yet.

Yeah Gear Manager works ok and watch styler seems to be ok too, Looking at the dates on the SamMobile site it doesn't look like any pattern emerging as to when Canada will receive updates. recently Russia got version NK2 but no other country did!
seems like a very strange update rollout technique.
Update: watch does seem a bit smoother, but I have had 2 occasions where the screen wouldn't come on and I have had to long press the button to bring up the power menu. I rebooted on both occasions as the watch seemed really laggy.
Any more feedback guys?
Thanks in advance! Too nervous to mess with it, it REALLY runs fine now with my 4.4.2 Note3 :laugh:

Tizen version didn't increase. It was 2.2.1.2 for BNE5 too.
The biggest problem of these firmwares is that the notifications
don't remain on the screen until dismissed by the user. I have
to use clock with shortcuts with one of the shortcut being notification
in order not to miss any notification.
I was hopping it will get fixed with the next update. I'm still on BNE5
firmware. Can you please confirm/infirm is that was fixed?

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.
Curious about experiences with BL2...Tizen gets so little publicity it's almost like no one cares...so no feedback on the web other than a few posts here.

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.

I was talking about sms and missed calls notifications. These are not persistent.
I would like to use "clock + events" but because I miss a lot of notifications
I have to use "clock + shortcuts" instead. Number of missed notifications
is indicated by a digit on the notification shortcut icon. No need to
double press home button each time. It's enough to check the time.
Has anyone rooted nl2 yet

I know where to find it, but I'd rather not do a manual upgrade seeing how there is NO info re changelog and have no clue why it's not available to North America.
Weird...talk about Samsung's transparency.
Samsung started a mass update of the firmware according to the site above dates. Probably it will reach you soon. I have a Hong Kong version of it (TGY) although I've bought it from Europe and I have to wait for it too. If the wait is too long I might go to samsung care center and ask to change my CSC to my country.

Well then your screwed. Look on Samsung site for firmware. This device has never had a u.s firmware from that site. And any I mean any firmware they release is there. I flashed u.k watch is fine. If you flashed tizen or rooted at all. You will never get a update ota. Try in gear manager says your device has been modified and can not receive ota updates.

Most certainly this is the last update. Samsung is always doing mass updates for the last firmware. BNE5 update was released in May. So if there is still a new update after BNL2
it will be very far away in time. So I won't worry about not getting ota updates anymore. You can check mrcrab site and do a last flash if it's needed.
FYI...I did get BNE5 when I first booted up the watch (and I only bought it 3 weeks ago)...so there were NA updates- just not this one.
More importantly, please post here if you run into any problems on BNL2 as like I mentioned, I have ZERO issues currently so stability is more important to me than new features which I might not use.
Cheers :highfive:
