Galaxy Gear and Note 2?

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 (

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??

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?

Weather not updating on watch. WHY?

Why is my weather not updating on my watch. I have it set to update every hour. It doesnt at all. I have to go into gear settings then weather and toggle off then on the location for it to update.

I had a similar problem recently, mine was also set to one hour & when I realized it was off by more than ten degrees I knew something was wrong.
I checked when the last time it had updated was and it was over 5 hours earlier. At that point, I tried absolutely every thing I could think of to get it working and NOTHING worked.
I finally figured out that the acuweather site was not working right. The next morning, it started working just fine again all by itself, and I hadn't changed anything..........

Mine has been like this since day one. Over 10 days now.

You have to use the stock weather app, it syncs with the gear.. I had the same problem, switched back to stock weather and everything works as it should..

I had this problem, Im using a custom rom.. You want to make sure you have accuweather widget installed.. theres also a weather service apk. Pretty much anything related to weather must be on your phone to be safe.
These may be considered "bloat" to some, without them the weather wont update.
Also I had to reinstall galaxy gear manager, now my weather updates hourly.

same here. today i try login to samsung play store update the gear manager and than the weathter show up.

Are you saying you have to use the stock weather widget on your phone? I use Beautiful Widgets on my phone, but BW uses accuweather. My Gear says it's 72°, my phone says it's 46°. The Gear says it was last updated @ 10:42 AM on 10-4. It's 9:15 PM on 10-25. I didn't even own the Gear on 10-4.

As far as I know, you have to use the stock weather widget to update the gear weather watchface..

Answer: Location service must be turned ON
I just purchased a Galaxy Note 4 and for an added $55 deal I got the Gear 2 Neo smartwatch with it. I am having tons of fun with both the phone and the watch. I thought I would do a Google search on how to fix the issue with the Gear 2 Neo not updating the weather application when I have the Location button turned off and it brought me to this page.
Yes that's right! You heard me. The issue with Accu Weather not updating is because the Location Finder must be active or the watch refuses to update. I have verified this several times over again. Definitely the result of not being able to find it's location through the phone because the phone's Location service is off.
I have solved this by pressing the Location button and turning it on momentarily to update the phone. Sometimes leaving the Location on for several hours when I wish to receive weather updates. This is very self defeating turning it on and off to receive weather, not to mention that if a Severe Weather Warning came through on my phone I would not receive it on my Watch unless I had the Location/GPS/Wifi finder service running. That's just stupid :silly:. I will be waiting for a fix unless I can find some alternative clock/weather watch face that will replace this broken AccuWeather application.
I hope this helps you understand what is happening to your watch when it fails to update weather. And yes, it is also true that only the Default Weather application will send updates to the watch even with the Location turned on, that I have found so far. Though I'm still new at this and if I find and alternative I will certainly post it here for everyone.
Edit: Wow I just noticed the age of the last post before mine. OMG! I can't believe this problem still exists and hasn't been fixed yet over the last year. Complete brand new model and it still happens, this is sad.

I'm using the Gear S2 and the issue is still present! Pretty sad after all these years!

Literally am having this issue right now... SAMSUNG FIX THIS!!!!

Same here. Galaxy watch 46mm and Galaxy S10+. I believe that it auto updates while my phone is on wifi, but it does not update on LTE even if i try to force it on watch. If my phone is not on wifi it updates thru Galaxy wearable app.

[APP] Gear Getter - based off Pebble Notifier - v1.2 <No More Development>

UPDATED - v1.2 removes the double messages from some apps, fixes another bug.
I wanted a way to get other notifications to the Gear without having to run another client app on the Gear.
There is another project (ATN) that initially used the Email notification to do this. I liked this approach because it was simple, used the gear manager as the delivery mechanism, and the Email notification app on the gear which is robust enough to handle long notifications.
I reached out to Dattas Moonchaser, who wrote the popular Pebble Notifier to see if I could use his app as my base. He obliged so here it is....
Install this on your phone, there is nothing to install on the Gear. The only thing you need to know is to go into Accessibility settings and give Gear Getter permissions (it has a big RED link for this when you launch the app). Also make sure you have Email notification checked in the Gear Manager.
Here are some better instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47449016&postcount=119
Once you enable Accessibility you are able to setup your apps you want to receive notifications from. Couple cool things..
- There is the ability to setup filters
- Ability to setup quiet times
- There is tasker integration (I haven't messed with this)
- This reads the data from the expanded view so you should get pretty robust notifcations
- Easy on the battery
If you feel the need to donate, please do it from the app, and it will go to Dattas who would appreciate it.

Quick question..
I did not install anything yet but I wanted to understand this. Do we install on both the gear and the phone ?
Where does it pull information from ?
I never used the app before, I just wanted some more info before I experiment with it.
And does it require 4.3 ?
Thanks

Can you read the notifications from the gear with this ?.

You only install it on the phone, there is nothing to install on the gear. It uses the built in Email notification on the gear to display the notifications.
You tell it which apps you want to receive notifications from on your gear.
This doesn't require 4.3, but the Gear Manager does (which this uses).

This send notifications from your phone (for the applications you select) to the gear, using the Email notification on the gear to display them.

Thanks, checking it out. I want to see if I can get Instagram notifications. I will report back.

So far so good! Gmail is sending full subject and body of emails! However, when you click "Show On Device" it launches the stock email client instead of gmail. It sounds like that's because it uses the email notification methods.

Great! The logic for getting the notification details is pretty battle tested so I would expect the content it sends to the gear to be pretty good and mostly match what you would see in an expanded notification on your phone.
The Show On Device I don't think I will get to be able to actually work to open the app on the phone....

Tried twice to install apk and it crashes my Note 3, it reboots on it's own and the apk is not installed .

Strange it doesn't do anything at my end.. I do not get any notifications. Could possibly show a short video of how it works??? Do I need to select the Email in Gear Manager .. Cause I aint getting any Noti's....

Under FilterList in the settings it states Pebble. FYI.

Ok, this does not work for me. Although it is probably because I running an S4 on 4.2 so far. Waiting for the update to be online.
I'll have to wait for the update to get me to 4.3 for the gear manager to work properly. I have limited functionality still
UPDATE : Well, email does not work, only get recipients name showing, but on the other hand, texting works (using sms pro)
But everything displays double, I mean I see the text and who is from and then under s separator I see it again with just a bit smaller fonts. Don't know why, maybe a setting I need to play with ?
I am glad at least for the texts for now.

Ok strange , after i boot into stock rom and then back to rom slot i installed .

LOL thanks, must have missed that one... It will work for the Gear even though it says Pebble.

I would like to point out that using this method if you use the stock browser it will talk to you and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to stop it.
Also last I knew if you were on a note 2 it will also talk when opening and closing folders and when switching home screens

Crazy! I use Chrome so didn't notice but you are right. More research shows its a bug with Samsung. I'll switch over to the 4.3 method using the security setting in the next few days. Until then I suggest using Chrome.

My Nexus 5 with KITKAT 4.4.2 and GEAR(null_17 ROM)

hi to all, i want to share my experience (sorry for my english, i'm italian)
i have Nexus 5 phone and galaxy Gear(null_17 ROM).
Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2
Galaxy Gear with V700XXUAMK7 with NULL_17 ROM
and watchstyler 1.0.9 (working) with Casio Skin
At first i installed gearmanagerstub.apk
after i just bring "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk" and renamed to "gear manager 1.6 111801.zip"
opened and bring all file in the folder "preinstalledapk"
and run all one by one excepted for "samusic" and "saweather" because fail to installing(but is ok).
after all manual apk installed also installed "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk"
and opened gear manager and start the gear and pairing it. (2 or 3 time but making same test and check and at final running)
if you come from old pairing with other gear manager version example 1.5 or 1.4 etc... just from your sdcard delete the folder ".BManager_backup"
for fix the notification i also installed ATNmanager 1.2.2.apk on the phone, and in the gear i already sended the version of "ATNmanager 1.2.3.1_pre"(only the watch.apk file inside) and i receive all notify on gear by this apps and working fine.
remeber to go in setting->security->allow ATNmanager to read notification
up to now
work:

logs call
gallery
camera(make and send directly to the phone in gallery)
call and receive it.
voice record (record and send on phone, but play with file manager in "sdcard/Sounds/Galaxy_Gear/your recording file"

I would think that weather and svoice wouldnt work because these features are twiz based. Thanks for reporting your findings.

These steps have been explained many many many times before. People get tired of repeating the same explanation in every thread. I guarantee people will still ask with this thread's existence. Just spend half an hour searching through the forum.

By they way,any link or way i could get the latest gear working app? thanx !

Are you kidding? Look at your last sentence. Just proves that people don't research on this board and that is the reason why developers get extremely put off. Stop being lazy and do your own research. As I have said, everything has been told to many people, even in the same thread. If you can't figure it out from the available information, maybe you shouldn't be doing it.

I really don't get it why you have to be so negative,things like these should be in first page not for me to look for houres and read pages,some people have other things to do rather than browsing pages for houres,that's why i donate to people that do a good job so i don't have to do it myself. Thank you !
Edit: All i'am saying organisation is key on this website,if there was a proper sticky and info, people would no have to ask in all threads about it. A post "how to make F'king gear manager working on non samsung devices" with 2 links and 3 words as the first guy just poset and voila ! Aparently you support messy information and useless posts.

Oh the first page of threads "Gear Manager Downloads". Nobody is going to want to help you if you've asked questions that show you haven't even looked in the forums for a second. Exactly why the null ROM no longer has direct support in here anymore.

I post all file early.. If you delete and bmmanager folder, just after pairing the gear automaticly reset. Otherway can't paired with phone.
Phore the atn the fast way is install atn 1.2.3.1 with watch paired... After it install all in the watch, disconnect watch from phone and install atn manager 1.2.2 and all notify working. Early I post the file already modded.

I have done all of this….. But I can not for the life of me get any notifications to my gear. None, not a one.
Help is appreciated….

hi to all, i want to share my experience (sorry for my english, i'm italian)
i have Nexus 5 phone and galaxy Gear(null_17 ROM).
Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2
Galaxy Gear with V700XXUAMK7 with NULL_17 ROM
and watchstyler 1.0.9 (working) with Casio Skin
At first i installed gearmanagerstub.apk
after i just bring "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk" and renamed to "gear manager 1.6 111801.zip"
opened and bring all file in the folder "preinstalledapk"
and run all one by one excepted for "samusic" and "saweather" because fail to installing(but is ok).
after all manual apk installed also installed "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk"
and opened gear manager and start the gear and pairing it. (2 or 3 time but making same test and check and at final running)
if you come from old pairing with other gear manager version example 1.5 or 1.4 etc... just from your sdcard delete the folder ".BManager_backup"
for fix the notification i also installed ATNmanager 1.2.2.apk on the phone, and in the gear i already sended the version of "ATNmanager 1.2.3.1_pre"(only the watch.apk file inside) and i receive all notify on gear by this apps and working fine.
remeber to go in setting->security->allow ATNmanager to read notification
up to now
work:
contact
logs call
gallery
camera(make and send directly to the phone in gallery)
call and receive it.
voice record (record and send on phone, but play with file manager in "sdcard/Sounds/Galaxy_Gear/your recording file"
notification(ATNmanager APP)
no work:
weather
s voice
For me is a good Result
Domenico.

Do you get notification through atn or original notification system? I get through ATN which does the job but not that well looking.

I haven't tried, but it sounds like ATN uses it's own notification system? This is different to notifications going via Gear Manager

Stand alone application that pushes notifications, they come in as emails..
You need to have atleast email notifications enabled in gear manager, ATN handles the rest.
Also you must make sure you enable ATN in accessibility options on your phone so it has permissions to read the notifications.

That's how I assumed it still worked. But then how does it work for nexus since it can't send any notifications what soever (let alone give email as an option)

My gear will not go to USB debugging?

ATN should send the notifications fine..
The reason why the notifications are not working on the nexus is because of the gear manager is not running completely.. I dont think the gear manager notification listener service is being started.
Have a look in accessibility settings do you see anything related to gear manager ? I didnt think to check this..

Nothing in accessibility
I think you may be onto something

I tried looking into starting service with Tasker, but no luck
When I try and launch service via adb, all I get is Error: not found: no service started.
When I try and launch process via adb, all I get is Error: Activity not started, unable to resolve Intent
I think my problem is that intents are incorrect
I've attached manifest xml for gear manager and notifier

[Q] No notifications from Note II

Hi all.
I got a Gear from my wife that she got with her S4 (She would never use it). Paired with my Note II (Stock, unrooted) but I'm not receiving any notifications on my Gear.
I've got the gear manager installed and can install apps, configure the device etc. I can make calls and receive calls through the gear but I'm not getting message, email etc notifications. I can view call logs if I go in to the call logs app.
On my device I'm using hangouts (with sms) and Google Gmail app. Notifications (and more notifications) are switched on in gear manager. I've enabled other notifications as well but these are the two most important for me
Software is all up to date. Note II is running 4.3. Both are stock, unrooted, unmodified etc etc
Am I missing something really obvious?
Thanks

Did you click on the "More Notifications" in the "Notifications" section in Gear Manager?

I did yes.

Try uninstalling gearmanager, and reinstalling it. When it installs, count how many apps it installs itself. There should be 20+ apps that get installed. You can open the application manager and see how many were actually installed. They will have that lil gear watch logo.

That seemed to work. 21 app reinstalled. Re-paired device and sent test email. Notification came thru
Thanks

Good to hear its up and running.
If your stock, dont forget that the Samsung staff at Best Buy are an easy way to get your products updated, paired, configured, and optimized for free. They always seem bored amd eager to help.
