Gear Manager problems after KK update

Hi, after updated my Note 3 to 4.4.2, my Gear Manager is unstable, it hangs when I'm trying to enter settings or contacts, screen goes black and then i get a FC.
I have searched (like always) but haven't found any solution.
I have tried everything (clear data app, uninstalled GM, wipe my both Gears, nothing changed)
I have made a clean flash of KK on my Note 3.
I have also downgraded GM to 1.5 from 1.6...
I have no more idea of what I can do now.
Fortunately, both Gears works as they should but this GM issues drive me crazy.
Gears are running last ML1 (stock, unroot)
Any help/advice is welcome.
Cheers, Ros

I have the same problem. I remember reading somewhere that you need to have 1.6 for it to work with Kitkat, but it constantly crashes when entering settings. However i'm not sure if 1.6 has been officially released yet? I'm pretty sure it wasn't when i installed it 2 days ago, so hopefully it will have been fixed when it's hopefully very soon officially released, can't imagine Samsung officially releasing obviously broken software.

i cannot view exchange mails anymore on the device since upgrade to kit kat and new GM

Sounds like it is best to either use old versions, or wait for official. 1.6 and ml1 are leaks

I have the same problem..what I do uninstall gm 1.6..download gm 1.5 at samsung store..reset the gear n not restoring the gear bakup..I have to reset it twice n reboot the phone then it all ok now..im using official poland KK with null 19 (ml1) on gear..

Stick to official 1.5 version, it is still solid stable, just a bit slow when connecting, wait Samsung release official 1.6, I believe they is some issue on it, that why still not yet get release. Current appear 1.6 is leak version.
By the way I am under MK7 official release for my GEAR ROM, not the leak ML21 as well.

Having seen the problems that KK has brought with it, there is no way I'm letting that software anywhere near my phone or gear. I realise there are those of you that simply MUST HAVE the latest updates, even before they are tested properly, but this update IS NOT READY yet. The differences between JB4.3 and KK 4.4 are so minimal, its just not worth the risk or download at this time. As the old saying goes...."if it ain't Broke........"!!!

I never regret updates to KitKat and it is official, it is the best ROM so far I use in Note 3. The smoothness is no way any 4.3 ROM can compare. Also this KitKat ROM is solid stable. I don't have GEAR connection or FC issue, if you look against all facing problem is cause of using leak ML1 GEAR ROM + Leak Gear Manager 1.6
The only issue at KitKat is SD card writable issue which can be simply fix and that actually not really Samsung problem but instead KitKat change the requirement, any apps that had that issue just need the dev updates it to fulfill KitKat requirement.
The counterfeit S View cover not working is not a bugs but obvious Samsung did to stop the counterfeit.

Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:

I just wanted to say thank you,
im a typical leecher or lurker of xda.
Kept my SGS2 always up2date due to this awesome community work.
After i got my S4A i always had problems with costum roms with network / processing / non-booting / bootlooping or whatever....
This ROM is just perfect. Everything runs smooth so far. No unexpected errors. Just like i love it.
Download, Wipe, Install, WORKS!
Thanks for your work!

Not sure what to advice on problems report for nightly not yet built. (Nov. 14th) 14.11 is next week
Generally speaking don't jump into advice to Odin flash latest modem.bin and specific NOT NON-HLOS.bin to fix anything. It can create more issues.
When switch between different AOSP /CM based roms (your forum history tell you have been in PAC world lately) a thorough clean-up is best advice. CWM format data, dalvik, cache and /system before CWM flash latest cm-11-20141103 and latest gapps. Or I can confirm CM11 - 1029 with Location mode =device only lock fast on Glonass and US sat.
I have never flashed any modem or NON-HLOS.bin separately to fix whatever.

Sorry, actually i am on cm-11-20141104... So i will try clean my System an re-flash it. Ty

Wifi issues
Hi guys,
i'v got a problem regarding wifi activation/connection. I flashed the latest RC of the pac man ROM, which is btw awesome, and after a couple of days i'm not able to activate my wifi again. It happend over night and after I tried to reactivate it, it just shows me the status that "wifi will be activated" but nothing happens. Is this a well-known issue? Are there any fixes for this?
Thanx in advance for reply!!!

Will this rom work on the I537 ?

Nope, the i537 has a locked bootloader, so you cannot use any ROM that requires a custom kernel. Start reading about SafeStrap, it's your only choice.

What about the i537?
If this rom doesnt work with it then what does? I really want to run Pac Roms on this phone, because I love how well it runs on my nexus tablet. I just cant find roms for this thing anywhere!

You need to search for SafeStrap compatible ROMs. You'll probably find them in the AT&T S4 forum.
A lot of people have good things to say about Hyperdrive.

Does it matter if my carrier is T-Mobile if I want to use this rom?

Nope, you can use this ROM, you'll just need to put in the T-Mo APN settings in order to connect to the T-Mo network.

help me!
Friends, this powerful this ROM, I love, but I have a problem with the camera. sometimes it tells me that my camera could not connect, anyone have any advice to give solution to my problem. I also want to know if it is possible to flash the camera's native s4 active beforehand grace.

Same problem on camera, i think it's related to porting, some libs not perfect.
Usually i made a fast reboot (not fully) and then works .
For flashing native camera, i think that will not work cause many tw files are missing.

On SFR document leak says january 2015

i've received a update for the S-health that brought the material design for the app, with the same kind of colors/design that we have seen on the leaked Note 3 Lollipop ROM.
unfortunately i've flashed another rom today and the s-health app doesn't have updated again yet.

i'd also donate for a knox protection / bypass.

If it is 5.01 then they can keep it. Kit Kat atm is fine don't need memory leaks.
Lfg 5.02 or 5.03 as they like

Delay in receiving the update is adding me frustration!!!!

Here's a LINK to the manual for those interested.

Pretty sure it's been a few days now, so I guess it wasn't really imminent at all

there are major bugs with the current lollipop - memory leak and GPS non functional. would hope samsung releases only after fixing those two major issues.

At first when I read this, I thought the Lollipop update was available manually, as in not OTA but if you search manually via Kies or smth. But it was THE manual.
I guess it says more about me being to eager about Lollipop than anything else.
Anyway good info, downloaded it

What a surprise that my wifes s5 got it last night. Seems pretty cool so far. I am just so curious why samsung has to have multiple csc firmwares to where as have one firmware and adjust accordingly. The average user should not have to wait any longer than the next user. Meaning I have a csc of VIA for o2 germany and yet I am sure it wont get Loliipop till way after DBT debital Germany. Luckily I am not the average user and will flash whichever comes first!

Sammobile just said lollipop for note 4 next month.

well, it was just leaked for the the chinese N9106 version...

Ty Alex, please keep posted if possible...

Looking forward to the update. My s5 got it and it's been a surprisingly robust experience so far.

Its coing thanx

i think the update will have been slowed down due to sammy working v5 and testing only for 5.0.1 emerging so dumping v5 and starting again on 5.0.1. now 5.0.2 has emerged. i want lollipop sooner rather than later but more than that i want it to work flawlessly so im prepared to wait for the update that works rather than getting it now with issues

Downgrade to kitkat from lollipop

Hi
i can downgrade my note to kitkat from lollipop without any problems?
I made root in lollipop...
Thanks

Yes, just have to find your phones kk firmware and flash through Odin.

Ok
what the best stock version of kitkat to get the best battery life?
I install the israeli version and i get same battery life like lollipop
thanks

I would highly recommending installing the stock version of KitKat that is released for your country.

Yes, i've just done this myself. I got the phone last week, and in amongst all the other 9 million pop-ups that Samsung provide, I accidently pressed yes to upgrade to lollipop.
I ran it for a day and the lag was terrible, so I have now gone back to KitKat. As above, I just went for stock for my country. It seems a lot better now. Once they release another lollipop patch i'll update. It's a shame, as I still think my htc one m8 is slightly faster. It feels more responsive. Anyway, thats off topic.
As above, just use Odin. I'm new to modding Samsung devices really, but managed it easy enough following the various guides around.

Did you guys have to factory reset your device after the downgrade?
If so, does the Kies application backup function safe the application data (logged in accounts, safegames, application settings etc.) too?

OA2 Update

Does Anyone know anything bout this update? firmware OA2 for galaxy gear. im running tizen but my note 3 sent me this update..i havent taken the update cause i have no info about it nor i can find it online

Hi,
Just found this at Sammobile under the country Canada - am flashing now and will update
Am new to this so if you have specific questions please ask them
Thanks,
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk

Okay,
so received my gear yesterday (purchased used off of ebay) and proceeded to update / upgrade to Tizen. Must have missed something while reading and preparing as I went directly with the OA2 update and the flash via odin got stuck at zimage and did nothing from there. Read a post specific to the issue, and proceeded to flash
1. Flash any region NE9, I used V700XXUCNE9 with Odin 3.10
2. Flash any region NF1, I used V700XXUCNF1 with Odin 3.10
The NE9 took three tries before Odin completed the update, then flashed NF1, and finally the OA2
All is working well, gear synced up with my S4 running a custom S6 port (lollipop 5.0.2) Albe95's custom rom
As noted, any questions - let me know
thanks,

is there any difference on OA2? are you still on Tizen?

I just double checked to be sure and the OA2 release is Tizen OS. Unfortunately, I really did not spend much time on Android when I received the watch. I had read that Tizen had better battery life, so just jumped in. Other than allowing the watch to set up after Odin Flash, flashed the next rom, etc.
OA2 release is smooth, phone synced with watch without issue. Samsung gear works, am just starting to look at apps, etc available from works - so will have to wait and see.
Realize I am a little late to the show - but, picked this up really cheap and it's working out of the box, so no complaints
Good luck

I'm on OA7 after today's update

I don't find the OA7 anywhere - anything new ?
