So I bought a Neo and played around with it on my work Note 3. It has fair amount of apps. Well today I bought a S5 Active. I moved my Neo over to it (requires reseting it.) and got gear manager installed. Surprise to me... It seems even though things like the clock face is an app that runs on the phone if the developer doesn't select that it works with a phone you can't use it. Which should be a simple change for most things however it doesn't seem that developers update their Samsung store apps. For the S5 active there are only a handful of apps even though I am sure 99% all the apps would work if the dev would click the "it works with an s5 active"
After dealing with Samsung support (or the lack of it) I tried to get on the Samsung app store webpage. It seems they are having server errors so it was been working like crap. I was kind of able to get contacts for a couple of the app dev's to ask that they update their app to work with the S5 active. Samsung app store doesn't provide contact information unless the dev adds it. One of the devs linked to his google+ page. Which showed he is working to get the same app with improvements to work on android wear.
This got me thinking. Who is going to mess with this crappy half baked Samsung store with Google coming out with Wear? I'd guess we won't see anyone making new Apps for the tizen watches, they don't even update it to work with new phones it will run on with no changes...
I just got the Neo and I am on the fence of returning it. I figured I could get by with apps I had on the Note 3 until someone got a Wear rom for it. With the lack of apps when paired with the s5 I am not impressed at all and after my research today I am liking it less. I got it over the wear because it was only 150bucks vs 225, it has a speaker and IR blaster and Android wear is lacking in features (sure to change in 6 months to a year). I figured by the time wear got up to speed there would be a rom. Thinking about it some I am doubtful, I think the speaker and IR blaster (camera if it is a gear 2) will prevent it from ever happening. None of the wear watches have these so I'd guess there isn't low level support.
I guess I need to return it and wait for the 360 come out.
I had the same problem with my active. I modified the build prop to identify my device as a regular s5 and have all the apps again.

I changed the ro.product.model line from SM-G870A to SM-G900A
I'm definitely going to sell my Neo and wait for the Moto360. I like the Neo fine, but am getting sick to death of having to run stock based ROMs. I will miss some features of the G2, but damn that 360 looks beautiful and development should be great

I sold my Gear 2 and got the Gear Live. What a huge mistake. I didn't realize how much I missed my Gear 2. Luckily I found someone to trade my gear live for the Gear 2. The card system on Android Wear is terrible.

when you state you are rooted...do you mean the Neo or the phone? And could you please explain how you did this? I understand how to change my build prop but as stated is it the phone or watch?

Phone is rooted, not the watch. I rooted by using towelroot. Look in the particular forum for your phone for instruction, I don't want to give bad advice.
I understand how to root. My question now is, will this work with any phone?

I am grabbing a neo today and was curious about compatibility with aosp. I have a note 2 currently running cm11 based vanir.
I can go back to tw but I was curious if things would work okay as is?
Also curious about library control for google play music.
Anything else I should know as a new neo owner?

I just asked the exact same question, then read through the forums and found yours. I see no one answered you. Did you find out for yourself? I would really like to know the answer because I'm getting ready to buy a g2n tomorrow and I wanted to be sure because I really don't want to go back to a touchwhiz rom. Thanks

I use the gear with an lg g3 so no tw for me. All works good and with my rom you can also install apk outside the galaxy app store.
You can search the answer for your question also under the gear 2 forum since the hw are basically the same. If a thing works for gear 2 it will works also for gear 2 neo.
I'm quite happy with the note 4 so far and would like to keep it but I'm having issues with my Gear. I'm not sure if this is rom (currently on Null rom) related or note 4 only supports tizen, but these are my issues. I don't have these issues with my note 3.
1. When I get a text and I open it on the watch, it's supposed to clear the notification on the phone but it's not. So I still have to go the my messages on the phone and view them so the notification goes away.
2. I have my gear set up to auto unlock my phone when its near it, but it's not working. It stays locked (pattern unlock)
Anyone else with the Gear having any of these issues? If you're not can you tell me if you are using stock android rom or tizen. TIA.
interesting...I have a gear 2 neo coming, and I have a thread here as well, as so far, everyone says the Gear2 works flawlessly.
I assume the gear 1 and gear 2 use different firmware, so maybe that has something to do with it..
you might want to post this question in the "main" note 4 thread, to get more folks to look at it..
I'm also running null_23. Can confirm issue 2. I'm using hangouts for SMS. Not sure if notifications are dismissing for that, I'll let you know.

In some case I do put it in there but moderators always move it to Q&A which makes sense so I just put them in here.

Thanks for the confirmation. I tried rolling back to stock android rom but still the same. I really hope I don't have to go to tizen. I need my 60 second recoding which only can be had with Null rom.

Wase4711, Gear 1 and Gear 2 are significantly different. Gear 1's have the option of running android OR tizen, whereas gear 2 folks are pretty much locked into Tizen and that's that.
thanks, I did not know that:good:
whats the real difference when running either of them, outside of apps you might be able to load on the android OS?
tomorrow will be a busy day, configuring the note 4 and the gear 2!:cyclops:

using a regular rom on the Note 1, you can install LOTS of goodies.
Gear 2 apps are significantly more limited. IMO the gear 2 looks cleaner without that ugly wart camera.

that makes sense..
for me, the gear 2 had most of the things I would care about on it, plus, I knew getting the note 4 around the same time, my head would be exploding just getting that setup how I want it, let alone having to configure/learn how to use a Gear 2..Yeah, that "wart" of a camera on the gear 1 looked terrible..
How are you guys using null without Bluetooth tethering?
quick update; the gear 2 works fantastic with this phone..
I cant believe how clear and loud making a phone call from a watch actually is!
Plus, I get the "HD Voice" notification on the watch while calling, and its as clear as a bell!

Thanks for the update. It looks like I won't have a choice but to upgrade to tizen if I want my gear 1 to play right.

its not so bad; even though there arent a ton of programs for it, i really just want it for notifications/calls/texts/email and the pedometer and work out stuff. All that works great so far on a stock, non rooted note 4

Ya I use mine for mostly call, text notification, unlock feature but also camera and video recording. It beats holding a phone sometimes and having a 60 second recording (only available on custom rom) is a great.
Tried to Google but only turns out that the latest Gear VR supports S6, note5 etc. Never mentioned Note 4. Does it support Note 4?
The consumer is not compatible.the note 4 is too big
Search anyone!?

Both of you should really learn how to use search, and/or don't answer questions you don't know the answer too.

What about the blackberry curve 2? Will that work?
Hello everyone,
since I updated my watch. blood oxygen feature got removed. is there anyway i can get it back ?
Thanks
Interesting. I've not gotten the update yet, and I'm wondering if it's because I haven't activated LTE with my carrier.
Anyway, did you try uninstalling SHM and re-installing the modded one provided in this forum? I'm thinking maybe the update pushed a different app to your phone.
So, along those lines, probably should disable auto-update of the Samsung Health apps in the Google Play store.

How did you get that in the first place (in Canada)? I never saw it.

well I didn't see but I saw the update came few days ago which indicate blood oxygen will be removed in canada. my watch is galaxy 3 Bluetooth model.
Has anyone figured out a way to enable this on the Watch3 Canada? I see the widget from the wearable app however when I add the widget nothing happens on the watch.
IMHO the question is... who control this feature?
Samsung Health Android on Phone... APK?
or
Samsung Health on Watch... TPK?
Or both?
No idea, maybe somebody have time to check this modified APK...

Modified APK does not add the blood oxygen, so I would then assume the answer is either TPK or both
I heard this works but not tried it myself:

Thanks Mona bhai for pointing this out. Yes, Sp02 - dont know when Canada will push that. I believe Apple Watch Canada has got these features approved though.

As you mentioned you installed these, do you think you will get future updates? i think you should as you did not change CSC.
@Ironrobi
Only to be sure. You were able to run the feature list thingies and you were able to change CSC etc. like in these Screenshots?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83324471&postcount=1720
Thanx in advance.
Can somebody please tell the Tizen part...
I wish to know the Version.
Code:
4.10.2600
IMHO I have uploaded this TPK somewhere... for investigation...
Newer or older Versions exists with Blood Oxygen?
Best Regards

Were you able to make the ECG and Blood pressure on your SW3 bought in Canada? If yes, are you using a Samsung Phone? Because this doesn't work for me unfortunately Maybe because I'm using a non Samsung phone. Kinda bummer..

Installing the modified app I'm able to get into the developer mode and in developer mode I can select the region. Changing the region of the app to US, I'm able to get blood oxygen and stress to come up in the app on the phone, but they do not come up on the watch.

I was able to get SHM to show on the watch for all of 5 seconds, then it disappeared and haven't been able to get it back. Non samsung phone here, but I also tried loading it from a pc.
Anyone got blood oxygen working in canada on GW3?
