ALERT! make sure you download the new gear manager update from Samsung store!

I was bored yesterday and wanted to see if there were any updates, to my surprise there was a update for the gear manager. I installed it last night and apart from the updating process totally bugging out and freezing my phone needing a battery pull to fix....after the restart it installed fine.
I am now getting much better battery life out of the gear...it's at 99% after 3 hours off charger and moderate use. And that's with a watch styler face! So definitely worth doing this upgrade. Also...I would highly recommend uninstalling watch styler prior to the update. Then 're download a new one from the store.

I hope that I see some differences in power management.. So far what was the main issue for me is EXACTLY the same-
1. no change in contacts => they are still listed BY THE FIRST NAME - for me useless as I have a lot of contacts (In CONTACTS - GEAR Watch displays contact names listed by first name – even if they are listed on the NOTE3 by last name - this is true bug)
2. Still no way to see "contacts" and "favorite contacts" => You can only see one OR the other - I need BOTH!
Please list here things You would like to get - maybe SAMSUNG guys are reading this forum... for me:
- predefined SMS answers for the incoming calls
- battery level on the main screen (can be done through watch styler)
- ability to display temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity… (all of those sensors are in NOTE3... but maybe some of them on the watch as well?)
- seconds on the main screen
- calculator
- compass

when going to the Samsung store it prompts to install on device.
On device it does nothing when trying to update. Anyone else getting this same issue?

I just installed on phone, then had to re pair and restore to the gear.
If your having issues, uninstall gear manager and 're install

Well that worked and fixed alot of the problems i've been seeing (Contact sync, Call history, etc)
I think i lost my root though. It did a reset of the gear. I probably could have stopped it but before i realized what i did...it was too late.

I just lost root as well, it tried to restore but got to 94% then error.

I've found that un-installing Gear Manager and resetting the Gear is the most reliable way to do the update.

Anyway I can get an apk of this somewhere? Still waiting for them to update my Mega to 4.3 and so far haven't gotten my brick watch to work properly on the older gear manager apps.

Can someone please upload the newest update. It would be greatly appreciated

v1.2.131013 (23 Oct): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46754713&postcount=10

I'm seeing v1.2.131013 (23 Oct) (This is the regular Samsung app store (search for Gear) not the gear app store (LOL so confusing)
The install hung on me at 3 of 19 but rebooted my phone and it installed fine over the other version when it came back up,

Interesting. They must've updated the app version number, but not the store version number. I just checked my app (the apk I posted before) and it is actually the 131013 version!

Perhaps it only works on 4.3 roms?

V1.5.121601 issue
so I woke up this morning all happy about the latest Gear Manager update and the fact that going into notifications and selecting more notifications showed the texting app I use Textra. Selected it and tested and sure enough it worked just fine, now that part happened on the 26th. Back to this morning (27th) and there is another update version 1.5.121601 and without asking me the little beastie proceeded to update. We all know the routine after the update, comes the restore question I answered 'yes' finished. Went into gear manager (yes the watch did install) and selected Notification > More Notifications, and that where the program froze. after about 2min it came up with an informational prompt "Gear Manager isn't responding. Do you wish to close it?" elections were Wait and OK. choosing Wait gets a 2min wait time and then the same message, OK closes out the program and then restarts it.
I have,
set everything back to factory resulting in same result
reset the watch and the note 3 resulting in same result
uninstalled/reinstalled Gear Manager same result
any ideas or is there a way to roll-back to the previous version
thanks for reading :fingers-crossed:

Weather will not update now, worked yesterday

I am Not sure what change since yesterday but I did update the gear Manager application. It will not let me check update by location in the gear manager app, and when I click on the box nothing happens. Has anyone else noticed anything similar?

I have the same issue, no weather updates are making it to the gear but I was able to set the city on the Note 3 yet it still says no city on the Gear.

Pretty strange. I never figured out the issue.

I uninstalled and reinstalled gear manager and it's working for me again.

I updated the gear to MK7 and gear manager to 1.5 and cannot receive notifications on the gear. Everything is turned on in gear manager. Any suggestions?

If you don't mind losing setting on the gear you can wipe the gear and start from scratch...
1: Press and hold the power button until it shows:
"Samsung Galaxy Gear
Rebooting..."
2: While on that screen, press the power button 5 times
3: this should bring you to to a menu. cycle through the options and select recovery
4: to choose, press the button for 3 seconds.
5: Wait for it to wipe...
6: Once done, set it up as a new device!
Hopefully that fixes it!
EDIT: When (or if) it asks to restore from a backup, select NO!

I am using a third party app by the same dev that does the K9 email call Melwin, I get a notification of the email with the header but I cant read the email, is it possible to do this with the Gear?? I have the latest Mk7 Null 10.1 and the latest Gear manager app as well. Thanks

Unfortunately that isn't something that is wrong with the gear, it is just the way the Gear Manager formats the notification to be displayed on the gear. There is always the possibility of getting that email app on the gear itself, however!

Make this a sticky please!

Im using mobileGo to install apps to the gear but it seems to now work. this started happening after installing Null.

Well, the Null ROM is pre-rooted... All I can think is try running a root verification app to see if it is truly rootedand Root Browser is misbehaving, or if it is unrooted for some reason...

Is there a way to update the gear to mk7 if im in usa?

As long as you follow the Null rom instructions from the page one of the ROM thread - it should be no obstacles. Please read carefully.
Please be aware that in most cases US providers block BT tethering, so for internet access please check it on your phone first.

If you want to keep it stock, download the ROM from here!
It is for Britain, but it works for the USA as well!

What should we be using on installing apps to the gear? Should I keep using WonderShare?

no Bluetooth tethering option on watch
No option in settings<Bluetooth<settings. My only options are rename and unpair. Where is my tethering option?

Just make sure you actually have adb installed! but you need the APK... Wondershare works just fine!

Ahh, US phones seem to have this issue... Make sure you go into the "more settings" right under the bluetooth and wifi switches select tethering and hotspot and check off Bluetooth tethering. If not, it is a limitation put in place by AT&T. The only thing that would help is a new ROM...or a mod of some sort.

You should, yes.

Couple of questions
Just have 3 questions. Is there anyway to increase the in call volume of the Gear? I have it turned all the way up to 6 and its barely audible on a call. I know the little speaker is capable because on youtube clips this thing is crazy loud.
Second question. I have looked everywhere for the 1.5 version of gear manager. I checked the sigs and I still cant find it. Can you post a link to the apk?
Third and last question. How do you toggle the touchwiz and nova launcher?
T.I.A.
Great Rom!

clock face install failed - how to uninstall/reinstall?

hi i have N7105 with gear 1, latest tizen.
i tried to install "low energy clock" its watch face that supposed to always on. just search on samsung app store you will find it (one is free one is pro) - i tried the free.
during installation i got this "host failed" etc etc.
I cant find the watch face in my list of installed app both in samsung gear app on mobile or on the gear itself, but when i go to samsung app store to re install, it will show "move to gear manager" instead of "install" button (mean i already install it) - but cant find it anywhere.
any idea how to solve this?
thanks

Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having a similar issue

i emailed the developer but still cant fix this. the only way is to reset gear watch but then you need to reinstall everything.
but now i get it to work.
maybe, try not to install alot of watch faces at the same time, do one by one

Gear VR - 'Login Required'

I have the Gear VR for my Note 4 and today for some reason it couldn't see any of my apps.
The Oculus app also was playing up so I ended up uninstalling the Oculus app along with the Gear VR apps.
Basically plugged the phone back into the Gear VR and reinstalled everything that was removed. The Oculus app worked fine and when logged in could see my installed apps etc. So far so good....
As soon as I place my phone into the Gear VR, I get a screen saying 'LOGIN REQUIRED, Please remove the phone from the headset and launch the 'Oculus' app to login.
The problem I'm having is I AM logged into the Oculus app, just the Gear VR can't seem to see that
Does anybody have any ideas before I try a factory reset? I've tried clearing the cache of the Oculus app but that does nothing apart from making me sign in again..
Thanks,
Norm

were you able to figure this out? i'm having the same exact problem.

Having the same issue.

Hi guys. Sorted it out. My Oculus Home app was was the old version whereas the Oculus app was the new version. Uninstalling both apps was fixed was they reinstalled themselves.

That fixed it! In all of my troubleshooting I don't think I ever explicitly uninstalled Oculus Home. Thank you!
