Hey all,
I seem to be running into issues all over the place over here. For starters, I'll drop a summary. All items are stock with no custom roms or root.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3
Model: SCH-I535
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: I535VRUCML1
Kernel: 3.0.31
Build: JSS15J.I535VRUCML1
Hardware Ver: I535.10
Network: Verizon
Gear: SM-V700
Software Ver: JDQ39.V700XXUAMII
To start off... I, for an unknown reason, don't have access to the samsung app store on my S3. I signed into my samsung account, but still no dice. Has this been renamed or combined with another app? I also tried to download the samsung app APK and install it, but got an "Application not installed" error. /shurg
Side stepping that issue, I downloaded the Gear Manager APK (ver 1.5.120903) and installed that. My previous version was 1.2 and had none of the "added notification" features. It installed its 20 sub applications without issue, and I connected my gear to it. After connect, it updated my gear software to the version you see above. After a reboot of both devices, and a reconnect, I am only able to get the same basic notifications that I had with the old version...? Any thoughts on why that is? I don't have the "More notifications" options to adjust it. I also tried the ATN apk to sidestep even this issue, but that fell apart as well. lol
Hopefully I provided enough info to give you guys a good picture of the issue. Let me know if you need any more data.
Regards,
CIS
I have the same phone. I searched the samsung app store through my browser and there was a prompt to download it to the phone, Then I was able to update the gear manager. It looks like you need to also update the gear. In the gear manager click on the GALAXY Gear and click software update and everything should work. Good Luck
The GEAR manager and the GEAR firmware are seperate from each other.
to get the full notifications, you need the GEAR firmware to be MK7.
just upgrading to the most recent Gear manager wont get you all notifications, you have to update the firmware on your gear. use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463743 download the UK version of the firmware ( ending with MK7 ), get the gear into download mode and flash the firmware you downloaded using the Odin flashing method.
Gear Upgrade
GM All,
I tried to upgrade the Gear firmware, but it gives me an error about exceeding the number of allowable downloads, and asks that I upgrade it using Kies... which also gives me an error about my version of firmware not being upgradable through Kies. /sigh
Is there an alternate way to upgrade the Gear firmware? Even if I have to root it... This thing is pretty much useless to me without the advanced notifications.
TIA!
CIS

I just saw a note in another thread about installing a latent version of Kies to allow for support of devices that are not running newer versions of firmware. Going to give that a shot. I'll post my findings shortly.

The earlier version of Kies found the device and updated the firmware to MK7. All is working well now!
Thanks to everyone!
ok my friend ended up rooting his watch,then he wanted to unroot it..he went here and followed this guide to unroot.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2480429) then he went here and got the firmware btu version(http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-V700) then while flashing with odin he got a error and now on screen of watch says ( firmware upgrade encounter an issue please select recovery mode in kies and try again,is there a way to fix this please..thank you
I'm guessing the watch was on android and rooted, then unrooted. Then the firmware you tried flashing ended with NF1? If so you tried flashing Tizen software onto android. Don't fear if this is what happened. Tizen is a different software then android. In order to go from android to Tizen you have to flash the first Tizen release which ends in NE9. Just download a Tizen firmware ending in NE9 and flash that. Then flash an updated NF1 Tizen release. If you want to stay on android flash an NC1, or NF6. Personally I like Tizen.
ok was able to to put it back to factory and rooted the device,issue i have having now is to install superuser on watch
I see that you can do it using Samsung Kies, but I need a couple questions answered before I attempt it.
First, my gear is rooted, but I still have the original stuff in it. I never flashed another rom or anything. Also, my Note 3 is still on 4.3.
Will I have to unroot my Gear before going to Tizen? Will it work with my phone even though I'm still using Jellybean?
Sent from where the wind begins....
I'm still on 4.3 and Tizen works absolutely just fine for me!
The trick to getting Tizen is flashing the first release first. Flashing the 2nd release first reports firmware encountered an error. My gear was rooted and all I did was use Odin to flash Tizen right on top of Android.
Flash this file first right on top of your rooted android. NE9

Reboot and make sure it works.
Now flash the latest Tizen release. NF1

I used to know what to do and how to fix things. I am on a stock kitkat not rooted note 3 with a stock updated not rooted gear 1. I have no idea if it is tizen now but I took an update a couple of days ago to gear manager. Is it possible to go to null rom now or too late? If I do will I be able to read gmail again? Why the hell did samsung shut off the ability to read gmail? I updated gmail to 5.0 too but still cannot read it.
Hi every one
I have a samsung device. I want update my device ( note 5 ) but need a guidance ، because i dont know which one of way better for updating ?? Kies or ota
Whats difference between kies and ota??
Pls someone help me
both the same.
some phones can't update by OTA so kies is the only way.
mostly old phones are better on Kies, like galaxy s4.

kies software is old, now its Smart Switch to update your phone.
i don't know why they different file size. i never really never notice it. but you should have no problem updating through OTA.
If you can't update to Marshmallow Android 6.0 update when its available for your device then try Smart Switch software.
i updated through OTA and the update's been installed and working fine. so you should be ok.
