Hey Guys I have a factory Note 2 and just bought a galaxy gear the other day. I have seen reports of this watch working with the s4 and even the htc one. Can someone help me get this thing working with my note 2? I found the .apk file online and was able to download and install it to my note 2 and successfully connect the gear to my note 2 via bluetooth but the gear seems to be stuck on the spinning screen. It will take and send calls via the phone and work as a bluetooth head set but that's all. Thanks again in advance for all the help!!!
Not sure it is currently working with gn2. I think you will have to wait for 4.3 like the rest of us. The clock working on it? I have the gn2 as well and been waiting for someone to mention they got it working. If you got it to sync I assume you got the clock at least working.

Will have to wait until November for 4.3 on N2 Unless someone will root Gear earlier
After playing with it for a while I finally got it to work with the apk file posted on another thread here. CONFIRMED the galaxy gear works for the factory 4.1.2 note 2. Unfortunately so far the weather, contacts, notifications and svoice doesn't sync with the gnote2 but everything else seems to work.

The 2nd post in the thread titled "gear mmanager .apk" I too was stuck on the spinning wheel when I hit the gear manager from the aptoid app. The one referenced in there works well.

No problem! Glad I could help I can't wait for the update to take full use of the watch but until then im satisfied with how much it'll do. Good luck with getting it working for your device!
Same place as you currently but glad it isn't a paper weight waiting lol. Wonder if we change the device specs like how you can install Google wallet. If we do this wonder if we could access programs and stuff for the watch also.

Yea I know right lol I dont know. . . I could be worth a try but I think the phone needs the 4.3 update for the new bluetooth compatability. I can honestly say that I'm kinda of disappointed that Samsung hasn't released the 4.3 update for the s3, s4, and note 2 already.
I wanted to confirm if anyone else was looking that the problems described (

) is exactly the case for me. If you can get a .apk of the gear manager certain functions will work except for what was listed above.

As of right now with stock (NOT ROOTED) NOTE 2 here is a summary of what I have working:
Working:
Camera: Works, syncs on any settings correctly (charging sync only etc)
Timer: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)
Stopwatch: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)
Voice memo: Works, syncs on any settings correctly
Gallery: Works, syncs on any settings correctly
Pedo: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)
Schedule / Calender: WORKS, I've heard others having problems? Mine does sync with my events.
Contacts: WORKS, I've heard others having problems? Mine does sync with my contacts. Settings also change (Choose all contacts or just favorites)
Logs: Works, syncs on any settings correctly
Not Working:
Weather: does NOT work. Gear wants me to change settings on widget / within gear but still doesn't sync weather (displays "no info")
SVoice: does NOT work. Same as weather, wants settings changed in SVoice but still doesn't relay info.
Notifications: Does NOT work. Nothing will push to the Galaxy Gear for a notification (email, sms, google, FB, etc)
As for the apps, I can navagate into the gear manager, select apps, go into the market where the Gear apps exist and attempt to download however once they begin to install I get an error "try later" (0). All gear apps (not included in the gear manager) are not available to me. Not sure if they can be downloaded on the side as .apk's and used? I can't find any to try.
Sidenote: The BT seems to be functioning normally, I get auto detection and maintain pairing all day.

Gear Manager on Note 2 & S3 without Android 4.3

I just picked up my Samsung Galaxy Gear this morning I own an S3 and a Note 2 but yesterday after trying in vain do download the Gear Manager app from the Samsung Apps Store from my desktop browser there it was in the search but it is only available for download through Kies. When you plug in your device, Kies asks for the Android version, won’t accept 4.3 and if you type 4.1.2 then the gear manager app disappears from the search.
I downloaded the apk from xda instead and it installed perfectly on both my devices. It turns out that the Gear and gear manager work properly with the exception of Notifications, the Weather and S-voice. With S-voice you get prompted on the gear to accept the terms of use agreement on your mobile but it does not appear on your device screen so the s-voice use on the gear does not continue. Notifications and Weather update doesn’t work but everything else does.
Cheers!
how dit you conected your gear whit note2??

yep same here - I wish we could get those 3 things to work on S4. Is there any updated apk leaks?
Note 2 + GG
I've searched every day for anything released that allows GG and Note 2 functionality (I.E. notifications weather etc) to work fully. Nothing still ... anyone else have any luck?
Just picked up the galaxy gear and I have tpo say its an amazing device. But it appears not all the functions of the watch are working properly for me:
Setup: Galaxy S4 running Hyperdrive RLS 11
Kernel: Ktoonz 747 kernel
Issue #1: Apparently when you take a photo with the galaxy gear it is supposed to show up on your gallery in the phone, but mine does not show up. Also, I noticed that when you click on the options menu after taking a picture, you should see "Delete" and "Share" options. I only see "Delete" and the "Share" option is greyed out. Can anyone help with this issue?
Issue #2: Whenever I press "Contacts" on the galaxy gear, either the watch just hangs on "Loading" or i get an error message stating "Unable to refresh this application. Bluetooth has been disconnected." Clearly im connected whn i exit that screen and swipe to my call logs and they show up.
Can someone please help me with these two issues as I cannot find a fix for the life of me. Thanks
Hi
I've had my Gear for a few days now and love it. But my notifications suddenly stopped working. Now the screens comes to life and silently just showing "New Notificaitons Received". I no longer get the icons for what the notificaiton belong to with a linc of directly opening the message.
Any ideas? My Gear is stock with latest firmware

Gear Manager - make sure "Notifications" tab is on (green). Tap to open and check all boxes of what you want are ticked on next page.
Also make sure that if you have any apps with notifications that the "More Notifications" tab is (green) open. tap to open and check any other apps you require notifications for. Then reboot both Gear and phone. If this doesn't work then you'll possibly need to restore Gear back to default settings and re NFC to your phone.
Thx for the input, but it turns out that my camera is deffective and everytime I invoke the camera, the camera-app crashes and exists. After that the notifications go away. Stranget but I then have to reboot the gear or resync it with the Gear Manager.
ps: Samsung support sucks, I bought the Gear in India on my last trip and cannot get warranty for it in Norway. wtf? Is Samsung a garage sale company or a huge world wide giant?

Have you tried upgrading firmware and resetting the gear itself?

Try this
Try this .apk in attachment. I have managed to pair Galaxy Gear and Z1 with Lolipop. Have all functions expect reply SMS, or email . Have all notifications, call, etc.
You need to preinstall other files

thank you, i tried it but cant find gear on gear manager :good:
Sometimes i have same problem, but first conect with Bluetooth, and then open gear managet. If not working, stop gear manager from app list, or reboot phone, and try again. When its paired, you need to try couple of times, but you will succeed.
