Hey guys,
Yesterday I bought Galaxy Gear. I currently own Galaxy S3 that I would like to pair with Gear.
I'm on custom SlimBean ROM with Android 4.3. I have installed the APK Gear Manager that is floating around the forum here (around 17mb), it installs without the problem, but when it comes to pairing I get a little popup that some part of Samsung SDK is not supported and the connection is being broken. Did anyone else get it to work with S3?
I have time till next saturday to decide whatever I will keep it or not, maybe there will be a solution by then. I can always return it to the store.

update us if you manage to get it to work considering samsung said that it will pair with teh s3 once it updates to 4.3 :good:
sure, no problem, but my hands are tied at the moment, unless someone have some other idea how i could possibly pair it.
Can I ask does the watch display basic functions I.e time,camera etc ? Or is it stuck a the pairing icon?

maybe there is a way to go further, but i don't see such option. it's stuck at pairing and only display battery left.
gear got gs3 and my gear paired without any issues. My gs3 is stock rom, downloaded the gear manager from Samsung app store and it all worked fine! There are some things that don't work - s voice, weather, can't install any new apps from Samsung app store but pretty much everytjing else works (calling, transfer of pics and videos, changing clock face, etc). Any questions, pls ask!
Rooted Stock Rom on my S3 and it paired fine with my 1st Watch (That went back to Best Buy, since I wasn't paying $300 until it was fully working - and my new one will be here tomorrow - had to take the 30% deal).
So it paires and the functions that worked, worked well ... Like the previous post - No apps / etc ... But Calls worked, pictures, etc

No, it's not rooted, I installed the earliest version of the manager and that one seems to be the only one that works. Today stupidly I went to Samsung app store and tried to install the new version... as the install wasn't working I deleted the version I had - and this was a mistake as new versions seem to be compatible only with 4.3. After searching this site, I've found the version that works again thankfully! so if you click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484065&page=4 and install the app from the last post - this should work. Let me know how you get on.
for anyone curious, using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947 and this Gear Manager apk: http://depositfiles.com/files/pmgqxv9c5 will get you paired up with your Galaxy Gear.
Everything connected right up no problem.
The only issue is no notifications, which is the main reason I wanted this but its only a temporary issue. Hopefully.(c'mon 4.3 update :fingers-crossed
Camera, calls, even incoming calls, work fine, can change app settings and everything. I was even able to load GamboyColor AD and play some pokemon on it lol.
Hi guys, I am buying the gear, and although I do not have the note 3, just the S4, I don't care, the update is coming soon and loving gadgets, I just couldn't resist.
- Having the s4, will gear manager be available to install ? (although probably not working correctly ) I read people use it with s4 with limited functionality and was wondering how.
- I read about side loading. Will I need a proper phone for that, or will it still be possible using APK leecher directly ?
- Lastly, I guess I should root it if I expect to use any of these options...?
Thanks,
Can't wait

Hi,
- Gear manager has been updated few times "once a week" recently... so give it a try - I am on NOTE3 so I am not sure but read the threads here..
- for side-loading etc - is is all written here - get wondershare mobile go for android (free version works for 15 days...) and read the thread "Tutorial - Rooting/Nova/ATN..."
- for the third point - to side load etc - read point two tutorial..
I rooted my S4 and put an Android 4.3 ROM in. Download Gear Manager and it was working.
Note: Gear Manager won't work without Android 4.3

Gear works approximatively with a S4 under 4.2
Gear Works perfectly with a S4 with 4.3 firmware (no root needed, just update via Kies if proposed, or via Odin)
To install APK, use wondershare. It s easy to do
Root is very easy to do and the gear continue to work correctly. It will help you to proceed at some modifications where a rooted watch is needed.
I have the Gear up and running also on my Note 2. It is running smoothly. I haven't rooted yet. Not to good with adb yet but I have been thinking about it

received gear, issue I am having for now...
I received my gear. Issue is that since I am in Canada (fido), I downloaded gear manager but it says that it is unable to use this software since the phone (S4 ) is not yet supported.(expected that)
So I am stuck at the NFC connecting screen and don't seem to find a way to get around it ?(didn't expect that though ..lol)
So is there another way to go about it for now ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try an older version of gear manager (check link in my sig)
Yeah you need a older version. I had the same problem as you with my s4. But I had a 1 hour drive back from best buy when I got my watch and found the older one during my trip.
I have the apk but I don't know how to upload it on here.
Xda says I don't have sufficient access to upload files for some reason. Maybe I can email it to whoever needs it. Pm me with your email and I'll send it to you.
I also have a working watch styler apk I can send you as well. The one in the Samsung app store wouldn't work for me either.
success connecting
ok guys, used an older version and i am connected. On to exploring and I'll post back with any progress on what I am able to do...
Thanks for the suggestions
UPDATE : Rooted the phone, all is good. Tried to install ATN but after I do, there is no option under security settings to enable ATN notifications. Notification access section does not exist at all in my security section ? What gives ?
UPDATE 2: Realized that probably gear is not rooted. I followed all steps fine but when I reboot and open explorer, it never asks me to grant access to everything. When going to data, it says it is restricted...

You need android 4.3 for the notification access.

Cradle and power adapter should have been in the box. Suggest you return it

Call them quickly, report the problem, and quickly return it..If this is not done, they might try to say the cradle and the power are missing and might not give you a full refund. Report it quickly..
Let us know how you make out too..

Thanks for responses.
I have some problems with my Xperia Sp recently.
At the beginning, my phone failed to load the news-feed (in facebook app) and then I can't play any video posted on that app. The other apps still works well. Several weeks later, I noticed that when I started to browse (in chrome), Google frequently ask me to enter captcha. The next week it getting worse, when I try to search via google image, it never load completely. It look like the pict in attachment_1. Next, the other problem comes, I can't install or update apps from play store. It says "downloading" but no progress (attachment_2). Now, I can't access youtube at all and "some" sites that contain videos. It doesn't even load. I've restored my phone to factory default setting but nothing change.
I try to connect to a WiFi network and suddenly everything works well. So I thought the problem is with my network. Then I try to set my phone as portable WiFi hotspot and tell my friends to connect. All above problems come back again to my phone but everybody who connect to my WiFi hotspot can surf the internet very well.
Please tell me what I should do.....

Ok, I'm not sure, but I have an idea.
You got a Windows PC an the default Sony Android?
Go to PC Companion and search for the option "repair phone".
Then, Companion will download the rom from Sony servers and install it newly. This will erase absolutely everything on the phone. After this, any software error in the phone should be gone. Even if you catched a virus. If you catched one, it could survive a factory reset...
Try this before you try anything with flashtool (in case you read about it). Let's first try the easy options

Sony Xperia SP - Cyanogenmod 12.1
So I had MHL working perfectly for nearly a year. Im on Android 5.1.1
Suddenly I plugged it in as usual and nothing happened. I thought it was the MHL cable so bought another. Same thing.
I started having a look around and in Smart Connect > TV > MHL I noticed under 'launch app' it said 'MISSING: com.sonyericsson.tvlauncher'
I searched and searched and searched online but could not find where to download this app. Only thing I found was http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z1/themes-apps/sony-tv-launcher-time-tv-t2871060 and well...I just installed the apk's from that link. It still didnt work, but now under launch app it said MISSING: something else. To be honest I can't remember exactly what, but it was longer than the previous.
At this point I was getting pretty pissed off so didnt try anything again until I just went online to Sony Support and they advised to go to Apps > All > Smart Connect and press Clear Data.
I just did that and now.....under Smart Connect there is no more TV shown, nothing happens when I plug in the MHL. TV Launcher seems to be installed correctly now...but yea still nothing happens.
Next step I was advised was to connect to my computer and run 'Repair Experia device' which I will do as soon as my phone is 80% charged.
Anyone have an idea about whats happened, and what to do to fix??
Only thing I can think is every few days Im having to move stuff over from phone memory to sd card, and always select everything to move...pics..vids...apps...maybe it moved the tvlauncher app or something? Although last week it did say there was an error and it was unable to move 1 app...I didnt think much of it...
Thanks!

It's this and maybe only got renamed?
Try to edit the package and app name to replace the link or make it work again

This apk is from stock .264 (latest) Z3C firmware.
try to install,
or better, move to /system/priv-app/SemcTvOut and set permissions to rw-r-r.

jep, as i thought, its the same app i linked tnly got renamed So if it isnt compatible to your OS take the play link or have a look @ apkmirror
Hello everyone,
first I'm sorry for my english and hope you understand everything.
I'm using Android Auto since two years with the same smartphone a galaxy s8+ (Android 9) in my opel corsa e on an Intellilink R4.0 and most of the time it worked without any problems.
But since one week it didn't starts on the Intellilink.
The last systemupdate from my galaxy was something about four weeks ago and in the mean time everything worked fine.
Each time i connect my Smartphone as usual with the car the Android Auto App shuts down and in the smartphone notification it says that Android Auto is connectet but the Intellilink didn't starts Android Auto. It only offers me to change to my Galaxy s8+ but without any result. If i try to start the Android Auto App (while the smartphone is connected to the car and i tryed it once to change to the galaxy) the "Android Auto" app shuts down immediately.
I deleted the bluetooth-connection in my smartphone and in the car and reconnected both.
I deleted the cache & AppData from "AndroidAuto", "Google Play Service" and from the "Google App".
i deleted and reinstalled the Apps.
I also tryed to use two older versions from those Apps because i thought i updated them recently before it didn't worked anymore but without any success.
I tryed three different USB-cabels...
The data-transfer to my pc works so the USB-Port from the galaxy is okay. no one in my circle of friends has a Android Auto compatible car so i can't test it there.
Somewhere i could read that it could help to enable and disable the usb-debuggin in the devolopmentmode in the galaxy but it didn't helped.
Then i disconnected the Car Battery to make a Hardrest in the Intellilink and again no success.
Confusing was that last thursday on the way home, past 20min of connection and driving it suddenly started in my car and i could use everything as usually (Voice, Maps, Spotify).
But when i arrived home and disconnected the smartphone to try it once more it didn't started.
Till Today i didn't get it to work and i dont know what problem it could be or what else i can do.
The galaxy isn't rooted i don't want to root it.
Once i had a similar problem and some App updates fixed the problem so i'll wait for an update from "Android Auto", "Google-Play-Service" and the "Google App" to try it this way before resetting the galaxy to factory settings.
But I hope that someone can help me and has another idea what i can try to do.
with best regards

I have the same issue with my s9 on my astra. I might have a solution. Every time u connect your phone to your car and the after the notification in your phone comes saying android auto is connected go to photo gallery, search for any random video if u have in your app. Play it n hit back/return key on your phone. Yes its a bit of a struggle but mine one works every time i do this . Looks like a bug
