Remote for Note camera

Anyone know of an app that lets the gear work as a remote button to take a picture with your note camera? I believe the sony smartwatch has this feature...i think this would be a nice feature, as you can be in each picture you take and decide when the shutter goes off with a simple tap on the gear screen...

I had that on my Note-2 with Sony Watch.
I don't know of anything for Note-3 and Gear. However, the Note-3 by itself does allow for voice triggering of the camera.

I know you can trigger it by voice, but how cool would it be to see your note camera lens on the gear to see what picture you're taking...and once you're in the picture just tap on the screen to take the picture...

Agreed.
You have identified what could be a great app for the Gear.
I hope developers start releasing Apps for the Gear. It is disappointing that no new apps have shown on the Gear / Samsung Apps store.

How disappointing the thing has only been out a couple of weeks. . Come on guys give people a chance to breath. . As far as I know Samsung had bit even released the sdk yet. . After the conference and release of the sdk I imagine we will see some things. .

Yep, I'm sure it'll come in time: See either camera on either device

This device was released very quickly in order to beat the others to the punch. Therefore, it is not refined yet. Apple will release theirs when it is consumer ready and say they are the first. People will believe it too! Not a hater. Every company claims they have the best in the world.

I liked how my HTC One would allow pics to be taken with my bluetooth ear piece. It was like having a remote control to the camera...pretty neat

They have this for the pebble. Why not Gear?

It's been a year. I'm looking for the reverse. So I can take a picture on my gear from my phone. Yak now spy cam type of stuff my gears rooted with the null custom Rom. Only one I found little disappointed in the high end developer's. But never the less I atleast know how to change stuff on a Rom nowadays. I was thinking of installing a network camera then taught it needs wifi to work anyways anyone think of an apk nth at will do it ")

Galaxy Gear 1 (Tizen OS) & iPhone

Hi all!
I am creating this thread so that we can investigate the possibility of the iPhone & Gear 1(Tizen OS) cooperation.
My observations regarding what works, so far:
1) Basic BT handsfree functionality (which means you can actually talk over the Gear)
2) Caller ID
Let me clarify that the iPhone was a 5S not jailbroken and i did not have the time to perform extensive testing.
I will soon have my iPhone 5 back from the service point and get back.
The interesting result is that Tizen OS offers Caller ID info on the iPhone, whereas the Android OS did not.
Please feel free to contribute to this thread with your own test, results, conclusions.

What he means is that syncing your Gear to your iPhone via bluetooth, when you receive an incoming call
only see is the phone number. Not the name attached to it in your contacts on the iphone. Hope this clears
it up for you.

I mean. That when the Gear run Android and was connected to the iPhone, Caller ID was not working, it has to do with the BT profiles the Gear is supporting with the Tizen OD vs what it supported with Android OS,
@Accounti my man maybe you should try to see if you can make the iPhine and the Tizen Gear talk to each other via BT. Some things are definitely changed.

Done some extensive testing with a jailbroken iPhone 5 (iOS 7.1.1) with btnotificationenabler cydia tweak installed.
Nothing new noted.
It seems that the iPhone thinks that the Gear is a handsfree device (so only handsfree BT profile is engaged).
I would appreciate any help, ideas, suggestions.
Thank you!

Just purchased gear as a fitness wearable and music player
Working with my iPhone 5s non jailbreak perfectly apart from noticifcations
Hands free works perfect, activating siri on the phone then makes the sound and therefore the interaction come through the Gear
Pretty cool, so I'm planning on jailbreaking to see if there's a siri tweak/HotWord to enable me to activate without actually touching the iPhone
The BTnotifier cydia tweak you've tried, is there any form of notification coming through?
I know on my Pebble watch, is does state that you need to have Banners enabled on the iPhone for the notifications to show on the watch
I'm keen to get this to work too and there MUST be a way lol

Dude, i have done some extensive testing.
BTnotification enabler does not seem to offer anything.
The iPhone sees the Gear as a handsfree device.
In my case there is also caller id, but here is why:
Before connecting the Gear with the iPhone i had paired it to an HTC One and my addressbook was synched over to the watch.
Thing is, the Gear cannot grab the notofications even though the btnotificationenabler tweak exposes them over BT.
Only solution is to downgrade the Gear to Android and use the cloudnotifier tweak @Accounti has created but in that case:
1) There is no direct BT connection.
2) The Caller ID is not working.
3) Battery life and overall responsiveness of the watch are not quite as good as when on Tizen.
Long story short: Wait for the iWatch.

How did you get the Gear to bypass the screen asking to connect to Galaxy Gear Manager? I am very close to going back to Null_23 at this rate.

Actually i had an HTC One nearby and there is a way to initiate the watch with an Android phone even though it is not Samsung. If you don't have access to an Android phone you cannot do anything.

Honestly....I went into my local phone shop, found a samsung test device, clicked the gear manager to connect to the gear and walked out again
As soon as it's activated, you're away!!

Gear App
It seem like Apple fan boy need so much time waiting for iWatch, noted that till now Galaxy Gear family was the best , I had upgrade my gear from Android to Tizen and a lot of Gear2 App we get. All of gear2 app. Interesting:laugh:
But beware of App that drained your battery fast.

Not fussed about an iWatch
I wanted a fitness wearable that could hold it's own music. The fact that it connects to my iPhone with the calls.siri, reads out sat nag directions through the watch speaker.....all a bonus
Added to which it cost me just £35!
Result-happy !!

Remove the setup wizard while flashing the rom in aroma, under samsung applications, select custom & then de-select "setup wizard" on the next screen.

Right, I understand how to do this for Null, I'm talking about finding a way to bypass on Tizen. Thanks for the suggestion though.

What can the Gear Live do/how is it different then Gear/Gear 2?

Other than the obvious, Gear/Gear 2 run Tizen. How are they different?
Can you make calls from the watch/accept/decline calls from the watch like you can on the Gear/Gear 2?
Also, how does it handle notifications? For example you receive a text or get Tweeted at, can you respond?
Thanks for any/all info!
Might go to Best Buy sometime this week and buy one, so would like all info possible!

It is quite different. Mind you, I'm also using custom null on gear 1
There is a mic, but no speaker
Vibrate seems very weak
All notifications get sent to watch. Haven't tested replying yet

Kind of disappointing that you cannot take a phone call on the Gear Live as you can on the Galaxy Gear and Gear 2.

Surprised I am typing this, but it is a backwards progress vs the Gear 2 as of right now. I dont have any confidence in Samsung long term for developing a capable platform and have all confidence in Google so I will ditch my Neo for it but Android Wear has a way to go.

I know everyone have an opinion, but from where I am sitting, this a great leap forward, There are many things that can be improve and with time software will get a lot better, however on my eyes Lives have improved considerable over the Gears 2.

Null ROM on Gear 2?

Has there been any progress on getting Null (or any other AOSP rom) to run on the Gear2? (I saw a thread on this but it's not been updated since March) I'm looking at getting a smart watch and have been eyeing the Gear 1 specifically for the functionality of Null. However, there's such a huge change in specs with the Gear2 that I'm leaning that way...
Reasons I'm looking at the Null System and Gear1/2:
(1) Camera (dealbreaker feature, I dont care if it has a week of battery life and an octocore processor, I wont buy a smartwatch without a camera),
(2) Built-in web-browser/Google Now (for various reasons between work frowning on phones, having a very tight case, and a often-hit-when-putting-in-pocket power button I'd rather not pull my phone out for a quick search on "Who sang the song "X"")
(3)Flashlight App. Very minor but also very useful.
(4) almost full compatibility with all other android software. Granted there is very little I'd like to run on my watch but a few things spring to mind like PLEX, VLC, and Solitaire (go ahead and laugh, I play solitaire more than any other game on my phone)
The worst part is #1. Otherwise I coudl get a nice unbranded smartwatch from china, but they dont include a camera (but they take SD cards!!! Why cant our smart watches not take SD???) If anyone knows of another smartwatch that includes a camera (and works well with the Note2) I'm willing to look outside of the Gear1/2.
Thanks!

You would probably have better luck finding out about a rom for the gear2 on the gear 2 forum instead of the best one for the original gear

I searched for a Gear2 forum and even though I found some references to it, the search never showed it, so I assumed they'd been merged or something... >.<
Thanks, I'll try manually looking for it...

Here you go, link to the Gear 2 forums http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2

I`ve seen some videos on youtube about the gear null rom, And I want to install on my gear 2
buut I think the rom is only for gear 1 right?

iPhone user who wants to use gear 1, gear 2, or other smart watch with iphone

Hi all,
I'm new here, and wanted to get some feedback from you experts. I own both a note 4 (for work) and iPhone 6 plus (personal) and am wanting to dabble in smart watches. More specifically, I am looking to get a smart watch for my iPhone 6 plus.
Although, I have searched the forums, YouTube, some blogs, and Google, I am still not sure what will be my best bet for a smart watch for my iPhone, and with the threads I have found, a lot seem to be half done, and a lot of comments, tests, etc, so instead of searching all over and getting to the end of a thread that asks me to check out this thread, then jump to this thread, etc, I was hoping a few of you experts could give me some advice on what will work best for my needs.
So I understand that the gear 1 or gear 2 can work with my iPhone 6, with limited capabilities, which is okay, but the info I've been reading is confusing and again was hoping some of you experts could point me in the right direction..
-so what I'm looking for is a couple things:
(A) first, find out which smart watch, gear 1 or gear 2 will work best for my needs.
(B) second, be able to add apps from outside sources such as Google play or vshare, or something other than what is in the watches stock stores. And have Internet access on these watches, which I'm assuming I could do by adding a browser via one of these stores on the smart watch.
(C) third, which ever smart watch I chose, I would like it to do as much as it is intended to, however, I understand that the gears only do limited functions. With that said, I'm hoping you guys can enlighten me which Samsung gear will work best with my iPhone 6? Should i be getting gear 1 or gear 2?
(D) and forth, definite directions, or links, on what I need to do to make either the gear 1 or gear 2 work with my iPhone 6. (I have seen several threads and will use those once I can get definite info on what I need to do to the gear 1 or gear 2, or my iPhone, etc to use them with each other)
-please correct me, but what I understand so far is:
(A)for gear 1 and using with iPhone 6:
-I've read that the gear 1 will work with iPhone 6, if I root the Samsung gear 1 using null rom or other?, jb iPhone 6, install cloud notifier from big boss repo, use mi wifi or Bluetooth teathering, on the iPhone, and need to activate the watch using an android phone first. And get an account for pushing notifications, but not sure which are myoptins for that..
(A2) side loading apps or using vshare store for additional apps?
-I also saw a YouTube video that shows I can side load apks on gear 1, easier than on the gear 2 because gear 1 uses android and gear 2 uses tizen. If that's the case, then I'm thinking the gear 1 would satisfy my desire to side load apps. I also didn't see anyone mention if they have tried to install vshare and install apps from that store? (Either by side loading vshare and or from a browser?)
(B) for gear 2 and using iPhone 6:
-I've only see a few definite threads, and videos, where they use the gear 2 wight their iPhone. So I'm confused if the gear 2 will work or not? And also, I thought I read or saw someone say for gear 2, you root the phone and don't need to jb the iPhone, to use with iPhone or any other android phone? And also read that some say they were able to get them connected simply by using BT, make visible, etc. but again, the threads seem to go on with issues and nothing ever definite on what works..
-so basically not sure if the gear 2 will work with I phone 6??
(B2) side loading apps on gear 2?
-I've read the side loading only works with gear 1 because it's android. So is there a way to sideload apps on gear 2/tizen? Would you be able to use a browser on the watch and install vshare store from their website, like you would on any android device? Or what's the verdict on side loading apps on the gear 2? Less flexible because it's not android OS? Or??
Misc: (I'm not too excited about getting a pebble steel watch as it just doesn't do it for me).
And finally, Based on the info you guys provide, I'm looking at either Galaxy gear 1 or gear 2 to use with my iPhone. And if all else fails may just go with a cheap Chinese smart watch that would work with my iPhone. But that wouldn't satisfy me unless I could side load apps and/or root those either and have found limited info on rooting some of the China smart watches like zgpax, or u watches.
I know I might not get all that I'm looking for, and even if so, may have limited things working, but with that said, what's your guys advice? Gear 1, gear 2, or some other China smart watch that should work with iPhones? (Don't know if I'll ever go Apple watch, but if I do, it won't be first gen and/or until the price drops 6 months after release, so yeah, looking for something good to hold me over until then, that will require some tech work on my end...)
Sorry if this has already been asked, but I'm still confused after all the threads I've read as mentioned and still lost lol. If this thread needs to go to another part of the forums, please move. Cmon experts please chime in! Thanks in advance and sorry I'm not a developer, just a curious geek that likes the info on this site!!!

Did u ever get a resolution? I have all the same questions.
I have an iPhone 6 and gear 2. Did u ever get it to work? If so how?
