Hi people,
I am facing a problem that is driving me crazy and i need all the help i can get.
I have flashed my Gear 1 with TizenMod v2.0, but what i am saying also applies to stock Tizen versions NF1 and 700XXUCNE9.
I have set up the watch by connecting it with an HTC One running the GearManagerStub as we all as the Gear Manager according to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780493
Everything (that can work on an unrooted HTC One) is indeed working.
However, i want to use the Tizen Gear 1 with my iPhone 5S.
So i go to BT settings on the Gear, turn BT off (so that it disconnects from the HTC One) and then make it visible.
I then search (and find) the Gear from my 5S settings and when i try to pair the two the Gear pops up a message saying that it need to reset to factory defaults before it connects to another device. If i let that happen and then try to connect the iPhone, it does indeed connect as a Handsfree device but other than that i am locked in the video splash screen with directions on how to connect. That means that i cannot use the watch at all, apart from the basic handsfree functionality.
The odd thing is that i have been using the watch (stock Tizen 700XXUCNE9 ROM) with my iPhone 5 and a 5S in the past (meanwhile i downgraded to Android for some tests) and i cannot remember having that problem.
I also tried to connect the Gear (after being set up with the HTC One) with an iPhone 4 (no BLE support) and it DOES CONNECT without presenting that God damned "reset to factory defaults" message!!!
I know that the Gear (Tizen OS) does indeed work with the iPhone 5S. I have done it myself (see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789095) and there is a thread on the Gear 2 forum where member @skeamznz claims the same http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722069), therefore i am not (completely) crazy and imagining things.
Can someone help regarding my issue? Could someone with a Tizen running Gear try to connect to an iPhone > 4S and get back?
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!!
Anyone?

Found it at last! I had installed the Air Blue Sharing Cydia tweak which is apparently somehow messing with the BT stack. After I uninstalled the tweak, I was immediately able to connect to the watch.
Just in case anyone is interested.

It seems Android development on G Gear has come to a halt and many Dev are working on Tizen .Ive been searching for a way to connect headsets to G Gear without losing android. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check with fomey. Had tried for ages with Bluetooth profiles, but couldn't get anything to work
I posted this in another thread but have you tried the following app together with null rom? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.qrr.android.btoolkit
I've had success getting this app to pair certain headsets to my MotoActv that wouldn't work natively. I haven't tried with my gear as I've had no need.

Thanks for your reply!
I gave this app a try but it lacks the files needed to establish a connection.
after looking into the matter ive notice that Galaxy Gear is missing connection files.
It allows to pair with headset the same way as phones but You can not tap on the device lables (even the phone) in the bluetooth menu to connect to the device the way normal bluetooth connection works .
I tried installing bluetooth fix app, the app gave me error message that the GGear is missing bluetooth folder.
I know alot of people would like to see this function working on Galaxy Gear without going to Tizen, if we could get a Dev to give us hand or if we get some insight on how the bluetooth connection works would be a step forward in getting this to work
Ive been looking around and trying a number of bluetooth apps, an l keep getting the error SPP communication failure
Im trying to find a solution to Serial Port Profile (SPP) error
if anyone has any ideas please post !
Hi there, I have my Galaxy Gear 1 running NULL_23
But I have the problem that it keeps playing the same ringtones that I set for my iPhone even though I already put my GEAR into MUTE or VIBRATION mode. Its very annoying when I'm in class.
Does your Gear do the same?
I'm trying to see if I upgrade my Gear 1 to TIZEN OS, and it will completely 100% mute in MUTE or VIBRATION mode or not. Because my main function is just answer call and time. However, not sure if the Tizen OS is pairing with iPhone somehow. I remember I read some thread saying that the Tizen OS is able to pair with any phone via bluetooth, but you need to install some 3rd party bluetooth connection so that non Samsung phone can pair with it. However I cant find it again anymore.
Hi all. I just bought a Galaxy Gear cheaply and it has the latest (MK7) Android revision on it. I downloaded some Gear Manager and other APKs on here to my Nexus 6 and managed to get it to pair, but I do not get weather or dual city clock face functionality. Also some app keeps crashing on my phone after certain events, like hanging calls up. I think it was called GoManager. My phone is rooted but my watch is fully un-modded.
Which OS is the best thing for me to get the most functionality out of this watch given that I do not use a Samsung device, and especially that I use a Nexus 6? I heard of Null, and of course Tizen. Also TizenMod. What should I do to have the best experience & where can I find an up to date guide on what to do with my watch, phone, & PC? I was hoping to have at least a watch face with the weather, my notifications, & syncing of camera snaps from the watch over to my phone (bare transfer every X minutes is fine).
Thanks so much.
So I recently just got my Gear updated to 6.0.1. I had a hell of a time doing it too. The watch came shipped with a developer rom attached. Had to reboot many times to get it working using the Watch Tool. Then updates. Oh lord the updates.
Anyways, I get it to the latest firmware, and now, my phone and watch don't seem to be communicating correctly. There's no cloud or anything to give the idea that it's disconnected, but I can't do searches, can't sync my music or get my watch to connect via wifi since it has to use the phone to do so. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
EDIT: The phone and watch are paired. Forgot to mention that. Going into the phone's bluetooth settings, I can easily see the watch paired to it. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3.
After getting 6.0.1 you want to forget the watch from the gear app. This will reset everything and start pairing again. Should fix the problem
Before I start, I wasn't really sure what section this was supposed to go in, so excuse me if this is the wrong section.
So recently i've been trying a few things
first of all, I wanted to connect my OnePlus One to my Gear 2 Neo, which, at the time, had the Stock OS. My opo had Android 4.something and it succeeded. However, when I updated my phone to Android 5, it no longer worked. I waited quite a while, and just didnt use the watch at all. After a while I found out that I could change the OS my watch had, so I installed Android Wear. It did a pretty good job, apart from some things crashing all the time. One problem Android Wear has though; I couldn't directly call from my watch nor could I use the Watchon Remote app that was on Tizen. So I decided to install the stock OS on my watch. I also noticed that Samsung had released Gear Manager for Non-Samsung phones. So I thought it would work, however, whenever I try to search for the watch, It doesnt find it.
Here are the questions:
Is there any way to take the Watchon Remote from Tizen and somehow install it on Android Wear? ( If yes, second answer doesn't need to be answered (Also, I know that there is some kind of IR blaster but it doesn't seem to work for the kind if device I use)
If not, how do I connect my OnePlus One to my Galaxy Gear 2 Neo with the new Gear Manager app?
Is it possible to modify Android Wear, making it possible to use a dialer on my watch, and use it as a phone?
I really hope someone could help me out because this has really been bothering me lately.
Thanks in advance,
Raeeh.
i dont think you can port the apps from tizen to AW and the speakerphone in AW doesnt work yet. Thats the one thing in tizen i miss
