Guys,
Just got my one plus one phone and I cannot get the gear like WATCH to connect to it. Have already uninstalled the application from the phone and still doesn't work. Have rebooted the watch twice and still doesn't pair up with the app. Any other suggestions that I can try to make these to connect one another?
Ian. B
Fixed: reset Gear and all is working.

Did you lose everything on the watch when you reset?

The Gear Live is an Android Wear device - it supports all Android phones with Android 4.3 and above. You probably have the Galaxy Gear or Gear 2 which is specifically for Samsung Android phones.

My Samsung Gear Live used to be paired with my Nexus 5 which got replaced by a OnePlus One.
Do I really need to reset the watch just to re-pair it with a different phone?
UPDATE:
I just found the answer @ Google's official Android Wear help page (https://support.google.com/androidwear/answer/6058799?hl=en-GB).
You can switch which phone or tablet your watch is paired with, but you need to reset your watch to factory settings first.

the thing is i am using a custom rom on my note3.
when i first got the gear yesterday and i scanned it via nfc it gave me a weird "new nfc scanned" dialog... because the custom firmware had removed the samsung apps store.
in the end in paired it manually and installed gear manager manually also.
it works but is annoying.
i think i'll look for the samsung apps and hopefully that'll fix my issue.
I'm rooted with null 7. Updated Gear Manager to version 1.5.111304. Now phone won't connect with watch. Funny thing is I'm still getting some notifications. I've restarted both devices. Still no luck. Should I go back to stock on my watch? My Gear has been demoted to just being a watch!
Help

I got it back, I had to do a full reset on the Gear. I'm not seeing any new apps in the notification center on the Gear Manager. Not sure why. I have the most up to date firmware. Thanks for your feedback

Hi All,
Any tips / tricks to get the Galaxy Gear watch to work with the S4 Active on 4.2.2? As soon as I open Gear Manager, it says it cannot work with this phone.
I tried a bluetooth connect, and it connects but then disconnects right away
Thanks.

Unfortunately the only way I found was to upgrade to leaked 4.3 version, I used the below oneclick method and gear functions worked fine:

I found the root and 4.3 yesterday, and it's working, except for S-Voice. It says S-voice is not installed on my phone - but it is, and it works on my phone

Oh don't know why. I did the 4.3 upgrade, set up the gear apps etc and only then rooted the phone. Maybe try this sequence.
Although, had to reinstall samsung apps to fix few things but everything else worked fine. Will ask friend about S voice again and report back.

So - since installing the 4.3, my phone randomly 'forgets' my Google accounts. They are GONE.
I returned the galaxy gear, so 4.3 is no longer 'needed'. Is it possible to go back to 4.2? That may be the cause of the google accounts frequently vanishing.

As of now there is no way to downgrade because of a locked bootloader. You're sick with what you've got. You can try going to the Samsung Store at Best Buy and see what they can do, but I don't think it'll work since you've already upgraded.
so the OTA also has an issue with losing the google account? I thought this was only an issue for the Leak. By the way the odin 1 click restore can take you back to 4.2.2

I have a Galaxy Gear working almost perfectly with my 4.2.2 S4 Active. Only S-Voice and weather do not work. Notifications are all there, hands free works, apps work.
All you need is to install the gearmanagerstub.apk and gearmanager.apk to get you started. Head to the XDA Galaxy Gear forum for the how to

Hi,
New here, and looking for some help from you all please.
I am in Ireland and bought the Note 5 N9200 it is Dual sim. I noticed that the Gear manager App is now pre installed as a system App and can not be removed.
My Gear s connects up no problem - on first connect it updated with no issue. Everything works fine, calls and notifications come through all normal. the only issue I now face is when I move out of Bluetooth range and wait for the remote connection to kick in , I get an error message " Failed to enable remote connection" and it tells me to connect via Bluetooth.
I did a factory reset on the phone and gear s , made no difference. I then tested the gear S with a friends galaxy S5 and it remote connected first time. My gear s also remote connected with my S6 with no issues.
I would really like to get this working with the Note 5 , soooo anyone out there have any ideas or fixes for this ??
Thanks for your help

Ebay.
Perhaps , some others with other versions of the Note 5 , could check and confirm if the Samsung gear app is now a system app ( or is this just the case for SM-N9200 )
Or even if anyone else has other versions of the note 5 that have connected with the gear s with no issue ?
Would be good to get some feedback.
Hello all,
I just bought me a LG G Watch R and installed it with my private phone completly.
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to use my private phone at work. But I have a phone fromy company (Nexus 5) for business use. I tried today to bundle both devices but it seems that it is not possible to use a different phone with the Watch without resetting it... I tried the APP BeeLink but this is not working anymore (according to some other threads...).
Ist there an easy way to connect a second phone to the Watch? Both phones should never work in parallel with the Watch, I just want to switch between them. Otherwise I have to return the Watch - it would be useless for me...
Thanks for your help!
Regards
Johannes

You can't user Android Wear to manually connect and disconnect from the watch??

No, I can't connect to the Watch from the 2nd phone
I use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/and.../app-reset-wear-client-switch-phones-t3058962
To make everything easier, I recommend flashing the images for LeeDrOiD's rom, since it's already rooted with busybox
