connect bluetooth headset with the gear

Hello guys,
I'm very interessting in getting the galaxy gear but first I want to know if it is possible to connect a bluetooth headset to the the watch after installing the nova launcher, and also install a music player and store some music in the 4go storage. otherwaise the MOTOACTV is more interresting watch.
Thanks

It is possible to connect Bluetooth headset with Gg, was a topic right here. I don't think the launcher metters,Nova or touchwiz but maybe some of other feature will.not work without touchwiz. But why to copy music to watch.. I don't get it. Just buy a cheap 16 or 32 GB microsd and you have a lot of space for music...

hi, well I often go running and It would be great to use the watch as an mp3 player instead of taking the big GN3 with me

I use my Sony bluetooth headphones for music with my gear. Go to bluetooth and change the bluetooth profile of the gear to be calls only. If your headphones have a mic you can answer on your gear and then send the call to your headphones using the call options options on the gear.

I would like to connect my Bluetooth headphones for running and exercise. I can play mp3 (rooted Gg and sideloaded apks). How do I stream audio to my stereo Bluetooth headset? The gear doesn't have a scanning option to search for available Bluetooth pairing devices. It only has the option to make the gear discoverable and enable\disable Bluetooth. The GN3 only has 1 option under bluetooth profile settings, enable/disable call audio. If you uncheck, the gear disconnects from the GN3. No options available for media under bluetooth settings. Please assist. This was my primary reason for purchasing the watch.
Thanks in advance

You can buy the MOTOACTV, you can use it to receive notifications and also use it as an mp3 player it has also better battery life

1st of all, thanks for the reply. :good:
I would prefer to get this same functionality from the Gear if possible, without spending another $200-$250 for another gadget with a singular purpose.
Since this is a developers site, the watch is rooted, has confirmed mp3 player capability and has bluetooth, I was hoping someone could address it from a software aspect. It needs A2DP audio streaming to the bluetooth headset directly from the watch. Is this possible?

I guess you will have to wait few months to see if that's possible. For me I couldn't wait but in the end I m quite disapointed with the device especially when using the app runtastic

Yeah, I think Runtastic needs GPS to be truly beneficial. I read some where that the Gear 2 will have GPS, wifi and better battery life. It supposed to be in development now for a possible 1st quarter 2014 release.

Bluetooth headset+gear as mp3 player

My question is simple, but I didn't find the answer on the web.
Let say I do like running. So is it possible to connect directly bluetooth headphones to the gear to play music while I am running and not to carry GN3 with me?

Do you not need to have the gn3 with or close to you to be able to use the gear since the gear is connected to the Phone through bluetooth?

Unless you have music stored on the watch but I'm not sure that's possible since you can only control music on your phone from the watch

No, I have Null Rom on my gear. I would like to put some music to the gear and go running with it. I dont need Note 3 with me.
That is why I ask is it possible

i own a bluetooth headset, gear discovers it but it's unable to connect.
now this might due to some missing stuff of android. i'm still on old null 11 that works well for me so i see no reason to upgrading now, but perhaps it's possible with newer version?
i would like to be able to stream music from it as well.. running with note 3 in your pocket is not really confident.

This would be nice but we seem to be limited on Bluetooth connectivity in the USA. I know that you can put music files and play them through the Gear's speaker, by sideloading programs like Apollo, it works really well.

I would like to be able to do this also. On Null rom 15 currently, have sidloaded many apps, one of which is poweramp. I can also sideload MP3's, but if I can't pair my BT headphones it doesn't do much good. Hoping someone can find a way of using BT headphones with the Gear as a stand alone.

F0mey hasn't been able to get a Bluetooth profile that works for this
You can ofcourse put music on (only 4gb storage though!) and sideload a music app

Please help me out in this
I own a galaxy gear and a Bluetooth headset , i would like play music on galaxy gear and hear it on bluetooth headset. So my question is it possible to connect galaxy gear to Bluetooth headset. Pls help me out, I'm 13 yrs old so be more specific.
Thanx in advance

You can do this if you change your gear over to tizen. I am now running tizen and have two apps for media, one called media controller (controls media on the phone) the other called media player (allows gear to run as a stand alone media player with bluetooth headphones)

I'm not sure if it will work or not but this app has let me pair problematic headsets with certain stubborn devices in the past https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=es.qrr.android.btoolkit
It's worth a shot installing on the gear and testing....

i heard Null rom unlocks the BT stack and allows you to connect to other BT devices just like a normal Android device?? is this true or we really have to move to tizen?

Null does allow pairing with some bluetooth profiles such as hid. I've successfully paired and used a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the gear. However a bluetooth headset, speaker or headphones requires a2dp profile. This is missing in the android version but available with tizen.
I'd love to have this function working with null as the hardware is obviously capable of it. I'm not prepared to give up null for this function as it would mean giving up lots of other functions I enjoy. I'm guessing you'd need to add the profile maybe from porting from a compatible Rom but that's way beyond my ability.

Ah thanks for clarification, sadly this is the main reason I buy gear one, to direct stream music to Bluetooth. Well, let see..

did anyone managed to pair it with Null?
Im surfing all over the net and there is no other way to do it unless you install stupid Tizen that has close to none of awesome abilities like Null. Is there any way to pair the gear 1 with headphones and run it like mp3. Or is there a way to have dualboot for gear 1? Having tizen and null and beingable to pick up booting aint that bad and it would do the trick

sorry to disagree but i like tizen. how many hours you gear can last with null? fyi i tried null for few days long time ago, so apologies if the battery life is now improved. but i like tizen, battery life is probably the best amongs android gear and apple watch. plus i can connect direct to bt headset. and tizen has camera

Loong enough

Up to 3 days if i dont listen to music on it. Anyway i dont like Tizen becosue i dont have any chance to install google browser, no youtube, mxplyaer, Rocket player, Facebook Lite or anything. When im at work i cant sneaky check anything on phone becouse i dont want to risk to break my phone but i can go with watch and since it has a nice BT range its usefull. But when im runing i dont want to holde huge ass z3 in my pocket again and pair it with headphones since i already have a bt capable device that can already play music with awesome equalizers. Rocket Player is one of the best out there and unless someone finds a way to get Tizen to instal all the aps that im using, there is no way ill instal that rom. Way to useless curently

For the final question; yes, I've connected to my Bluetooth GPS and Bluetooth tethered to my Nexus 7 a few times.
As for the rest; no idea. Since they're both audio device you might have to choose which one gets the audio etc.

I have the same problem using G2 with my Sony Smartwatch 2 and my Volkswagen Golf VII.
I can connect each but not at the same time.

I have no problem, with pebble and BT plantronitsc voyager pro HD.
Or with pebble and my BT car setup.
ouu and I had even connected the third one but I could not get it pair, I dond0t know my pin number. (But to think of it maybe it was the nr.3 BT that didn't want to connect)

I connect my LG Tone BT headsets and my MacBook and can hop from one to another without problems.

I can connect to my Bluetooth speaker and car ODBII scanner at the same time.

Yes bluetooth 4.0 can support 7 or 8 connections

Have you paired your headset with your watch? That has to be done whether it is paired with your phone or not.

In the watch Settings, scroll down and tap on Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is checked on, then tap on BT settings and it will start to scan. Put your headset in pairing mode and it should find it.

That depends on your headset, you'll have to read the manual (RTFM) for it.

Geez, you can't even search for yourself? Are you sure you're intelligent enough to be using this "high tech" equipment? Maybe you should box it all up, take it back to the store, and get a flip phone and analog watch.

streaming music from galaxy gear with Bluetooth

[Q]is there a way to stream music from a galaxy gear with a Bluetooth headset?

Yes. The gear has to be on a Tizen release. Then you can load music onto the gear and pair the gear with Bluetooth headphones, or an external speaker and rock on!

Yes- I am on Android using Null_Rom. This gives you access to your internal folders like Tizen, except you have the freedom of Android. I sideloaded Rocket Player (music player app that works well on the Gear) and can easily connect to a BT speaker.

Rocket player with android on Galaxy Gear lets you stream media?

Hard to believe that no one figure this out yet
galaxy gear pairs with headset but doesn't give a option connect to device
looks like its missing files

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

i will bookmark this, currently waiting shipment for GG1.
i do hope can play abit with the stock rom, and then root, install null, before jump to tizen. i really need this function bluetooth streaming because i cant carry my note mobile while jogging with my bluetooth headset. so unless there is tweak to make bluetooth works on android, i need to use tizen.
anyway, i heard null rom has bad battery life, if you stream mp3 would this make the battery life even worse?
