Hi Guys,
I've been trying to find "Badass Battery Monitor Pro" on the play store, however it doesn't show up. I did some digging and found that its something to do with the DPI (i was running at 260). I've changed it back to 320 (rebooted a few times and it still doesn't show. )
I also have the same problem with Juice Defender.
I'm running the German Official build of ICS. Other than being rooted and changing the DPI i've not modded the ROM in anyway.
Does any one have any idea why its not showing?
cheers

go into settings-->apps and find the market and clear its data and cache.

Not sure if you want to change to a custom rom, but if so I can recommend paranoidandroid. It's a rom based on CM9 but it is easy to change from phone mode to tablet mode WITH a working market in both modes. I am impressed and feel like this is the rom the Note deserves.
Thanks guys that sorted it.
Cheers for the help and I'll check out the ROM.

i made a video explaining how to use the Fit on the Nexus 5. this also may work with other phones im unsure.
mediafire.com/folder/05n572epblf4v/Gear_Fit_Nexus
youtu.be/Sk0vsx6k-cU
download those files
install GR.gearmanagerstub.apk
then install gear fit update 1.25.apk
open the app and pair the fit. it should connect. you can use it like this but the update ads a few features like screen rotation.
now you need to get a samsung phone that is compatible and update the fit to 1.49
now you uninstall GR.gearmanagerstub.apk and gear fit update 1.25.apk
now install gearfitmanager1.49update.apk and gearfitinstaller.apk and pair your device. everything should be working perfectly.
i am also claiming the first nexus 5 working with the gear fit
Edit: I just found a "lite" version of s-health that DOES work. Here's the link

Thank you for posting this guide. I will try it out.
Do you also have an idea how to use S Health on the Nexus?

I haven't figured out how it get that working yet. It force closes right away. Nor have I figured out weather. But if you have a problem with notifications just go to settings > security > notification settings and enable it for the gear fit manager. Also still can't figure out how to change the time to 12h instead of 24h.

Scratch that last part. I figured it out right after I posted that. All I did was go to the clock settings on my phone and toggled 24h mode on and off.
Edit: I updated the OP with how to use an "lite" version of shealth.

That's awesome man. Crazy world, I discovered a very similar process with my HTC One M8 and M7. I just sideloaded the apps downloaded from Samsung's App Store onto the M8 and M7. Connected the Gear Fit and it worked. Only thing I couldn't get working was quick reply and alarm notifications. Just goes to show that it's totally possible though. Great work! I hope Samsung decides to open this up to other devices officially.

Yep quick reply and alarm don't work for me either. But I'm thinking we need the Samsung clock and SMS app and then it should work.
WooHoo!

Hey dude! First thread I've found that got things working more or less! Good job and congrats on your mad ninja hacker skilz!
Question 1: Where's the video link? I'd love to see it.
Next... I just went through loading 1.25 and pairing as you described. Amazing! It worked! WooHoo!! Thanks!
During the loading process my Gear Fit decided it wanted to update it's firmware over Bluetooth.
After the update, the Gear Fit says "Software Version R350XXU0ANCF" .
Question 2: Do I still need to track down a Samsung phone and do more upgrading for the Fit's firmware or do you think it's already updated it's self as much as it needs and I can install 1.49 now?
I did try to install the 1.49 apk but at that point things fell apart and no more pairing. I went back to 1.25 and all was well. I hear 1.29 also works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0vsx6k-cU&feature=youtu.be thats the video its in the OP.
my fit firmware is R350XXU0BND8 which i am pretty sure is a newer version because my fit works with the app version 1.49. if there is no option to rotate the screen in the settings on the fit then you are not on the newest version.
also im pretty sure you heard that 1.29 works from me in another post. that was a typo, as far as i know there is no 1.29.
Thank you very much. I tried it out and it works!
I can also install and open the lite version of S Health. But how can i sync it now? I can't login with a Samsung account. Wh i click on the login button, nothing happens....
Thanks again.
Wohooo, you are great. I could follow your steps.
I have only 2 problems:
a) I have no supported device to upgrade the Fit to 1.49 - will have to ask around in office if somebody has a supported Galaxy. Anyway, it would be great if we could manage to get the upgrading function working so we are independent of any special device requirements... not sure, what's missing here, because as somebody earlier mentioned: when pairing it with 1.25 the first time, it downloads a huge firmware update and pushes it to the Fit who afterwards reboots... but either it didn't work or it is not 1.49
b) Have the same problem with the S-Health lite - it can be started, but it is not able to logon to a Samsung account or sync with the Fit
Anyway, this is a huge progress so far. I bought my Fit today. It was released yesterday and only one single store had it on stock - when I found your thread, I immediately rushed to the store
Thank you so much for all the details you figured out so far.

a) try going to bestbuy or another store that has them on display. They won't bother you about it. The guys at my store were trying to help! And the firmware update to 1.25 isn't an update. Its part of the fitmanager apk. There's also a firmware update in the 1.49 apk that is different. Originally I was trying to move the firmware from the new one to the old one but it wasn't working so I decided to just go to bestbuy and do it with their phones.
b) it doesn't work for me either. Neither does weather. But I'm still working on it.
And I bought my fit when it came out. I got it at the att store. At that point I didn't even know of it would work with the nexus but I decided it would be worth a shot and if I couldn't do it or someone else couldn't either then I'd just return it.
Also to the other question about notifications. Did you try to enable notification sharing in settings?
Hehe, I am really thankful that you tried and posted. You were the reason I dared to buy it. I'm from Germany, so no Best Buy. But not a problem, I work in a huge software company and there are several of these devices for internal tests available, so I may get a grip on one of them tomorrow to do the update. I am so interested to check the sleep tracker.
Notifications works for me like charm. Caller notification worked immediately, for the rest you can enable the general notifications and choose all applications you'd like to receive notifications from. I tried it with WhatsApp, it worked immediately, even showing the text including Chinese characters which are tricky. I am really happy.
As I can workaround the FW upgrade issue myself, my biggest dream would be to get the S-Health app working as this is the way to check your data and statistics. I am happy that the big display also lets you read most of this data, so it is not a total show stopper for now. We must keep in mind that it might happen that we never get the Samsung tools working. They are using TouchWiz stuff and Samsung accounts. So Samsung also would possibly not being happy that people not using their devices (that might also cross-finance the cloud servers) could use their infrastructure and trying to hinder this.

Samsung should be happy we're buying their smartwatches. i dont know if theres a way to get touchwiz on the nexus, but if you could it would probably be possible to get everything working.
is anyones working with alarms set on your phone? i cant get that to work either.
At least I can confirm: having connected it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Gear Fit Manager 1.49, it immediately downloaded a new FW for the Fit and now GFM 1.49 can connect to the Gear Fit and sleep tracking is also available now. Great!
would you guys say this is usable enough to buy?
Depends. For me it is. If you are not interested in alarms to wake you up and can help yourself by borrowing a compatible Samsung phone to make the firmware update and receive new functionality like sleep tracking, then you only will face one important issue:
you cannot sync the measured data to your phone, as this is done by S-Health which currently does not work. The Fit with its big display can still show you all relevant data and also historical data, so that is not a 100% no-go. But for the people who like to browse through fitness stats of past months on an app or in a browser, this is still a show stopper.
I can't seem to get Watch Styler to show up in my Home screen styler list of clocks. I can open the app independently but when I was to apply a theme it does not show up in the list of style and downloaded clocks. I've performed a factory reset and still does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 (MDK) running Hyperdrive Rom RLS 19
Gear Manager 2.2.14.110499
Gear Software Version V700XXECNF1
Watch Styler 1.2.14
Thanks,
Bump
I'm guessing there aren't too many people who are having these issues. I did some research online and it seems a lot of people have had this issue before but there aren't any solutions.
I can load the Watch Style app itself just fine and even load themes onto downloaded from gearfaces.com, however when I try to go in Gear Manager and change the clock, Watch Styler doe not show up. It feels almost as there is a missing link somewhere and possibly Watch Styler is not compatible with the latest version of Gear Manager for my phone/watch.
I flashed the latest NK1 Tizen rom and performed a factory reset after uninstalling and re-installing gear manager yet still Watch Styler does not show up. I emailed the developer of Watch Styler to see if they could help but this issue seems new to them and they were not able to replicate it on their end.
Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated.

Haven't had that issue myself but perhaps try an older version of Gear Manager as you said. Another thing to try is uninstalling Styler, open gear manager then install Styler again.

Hey thanks for your reply. I have tried this and it seems when I use an older version of Gear Manager I cannot run it without it updating to the latest. It seems the people who have this similar issue are running a custom rom and the latest version of Gear Manager and Watch Styler.
Just to update, I have found a solution to my problem. I flashed Tizenmod 3.0 yesterday and downloaded Watch Styler from the Samsung App Store. It still was not working so I uninstalled and downloaded/installed the Modded Watch Styler (post 3 of the Tizenmod 3.0 thread) and all is well now. I did a factory reset after I flashed and everything seems to be working.
Not only is Watch Styler now correctly working but I am getting superb battery life (at least I think I am). Watch has been off the charger since 9am and 2 hours later I'm still at 100%. Before it used to drop 5% each hour (this is with a Watch Styler theme applied). I will report back after day's end. I haven't tinkered with any other Tizenmod 3.0 options as I do not have the Tizen SDK but I will look into it.
My only gripe is that these features should work out of the box. Seems like a lot of work to get it working for something so little and the average consumer probably would have gave up or sold the device. Luckily for me that this is a hobby.

Has anyone tried Samsung Gear S3 (Frontier if it matters) with Mi Mix? how was your experience? i'm thinking of getting an Gear S3 Frontier but i want to make sure it works properly. The reason i'm asking is that i've had some problems receiving notifications on my Moto 360 with android wear. i'm wondering if the same applies to the Gear software/watch aswell. i'm using Fenix 3 with Garmin Connect atm and haven't had any problems. Thanks in advance
The notifications etc come through fine when using the Gear S3 with the Mi Mix. The problem you will have is the Gear Manager app doesn't work correctly do you won't be able to install new watch faces our new apps on your Gear S3. All the pre-installed apps work fine.
Sent from my MIX using Tapatalk
I've been using the Mi mix with the Gear S3 for about a month now. Notifications work fine for the most part including whatsapp and other 3rd party app notifications. A couple of things to keep in mind are that as mrjubei72 mentioned the app store will not load apps so you cannot download any additional apps or watch faces and can only use what came by default with the watch. I started with a vendor rom tried the Global stable china rom and now I'm on the EU rom and have this issue on all roms regardless of root status. Another minor problem is that you cannot browse your phone's music library through the music app on the S3. It shows you whats currently playing and gives you the usual volume skip/repeat controls etc but wont let you browse other artists and chose a different song. The S3 music app widget does however show now playing on youtube and soundcloud which is handy. The last issue I've encountered is that unless you set up all 3 gear apps to be allowed to run in the background on MIUI it will keep disconnecting from the watch. This can easily be solved by tinkering around with the permissions and power saving settings on the Mix.
Besides the limitations while using it with the Mi Mix the Gear S3 is a fantastic watch. S health can be downloaded and works great to track activity. The battery life is phenomenal will get through almost 2 full days with the screen always on and on high brightness. The included watch faces are excellent and the Tizen interface along with the rotating bezel make it a pleasure to use. If you're considering it I'd definitely suggest getting the watch you will not regret it. As far as the app store problems we're hoping they will be solved with the official Global rom when it is released but I wouldn't count on it.
I am using the Gear S3 with my Mi Mix and I don't have any problems. I was also able to download apps, but now it looks like the samsung store won't open...
But, I am encountering a real problem (due to the Mi Mix way to handle bluetooth) where if my Gear S3 is connected, I can't use any other bluetooth device (such as my car audio system). I will have to force the connection to my car system and won't get any notifications until I manually connect to the Gear again...

Does Samsung pay work with the gear s3 and mi mix?
I don't think any Samsung market app will work on non Samsung devices without some sort of intervention. If you buy or use Samsung watches you will need to keep this in mind, having come from a number of Huawei devices I had to let my Samsung watch go [sold it] and moved on to a more generically compatible watch [in this case a Moto 360].

I was running the China ROM up to 8.2.3 and everything work including installing new watch faces. I recently switched to the Global ROM 8.2.1 and I can no longer install watch face. Does not make sense as to why it won't work other than a Samsung control issue.
Any workaround for this? Can't install any apps on my Gear S3. Any ROMs currently compatible with Gear Apps?
you can try to turn off this setting : screen buttons can be hidden: then it works for me

If i turn this on it also comes with a page saying this device does not support gear apps but when its off everything works fine
I took the plunge and got a Gear S2 and so far everything works fine, notifications, calls, etc ... between the watch and the phone. You MUST give the three apps permissions and take them off battery restrictions. I have them all on auto start too. The ONLY issue is if you want apps or new faces you will have to find some way to side load them, as the Samsung App market will NOT run on the mix. Otherwise I am pretty happy with the combination of the two, I do use S Health also and so far no issues there.

The app doesn't run because its checking for things a Samsung only has [proprietary things], it can be fooled but its a lot of work and often makes things unstable.

Well, it shouldn't be checking for anything proprietary as the Gear S3 is designed to work with all Android devices. From what I've seen, only the Mix is facing this issue and not other Mi devices. So it looks like its something about the Mix that's causing the incompatibility.
The gear app just started working for me on the unofficial RR build. I'm not sure how or why because i didn't flash a new build, but it works. Hope this helps
Same here out of the blue the Samsung app built into the gear manager started working. No idea why.

Not referring to the Samsung Gear App, I am talking about the Samsung Galaxy App Store. Which does check to see if it's a Samsung running the app.
Mine randomly started working as well.
I just saw on Sammobile that some firmwares based on Android 10 has just been released for the A405F/FN/FM !
Maybe some of you have received the update ?
The new software is delivered by samsung. The order is unknown

Why?
No AOD ???
I also trusted Samsung to acknowledge the blunder and get it back on Android Q. Unfortunately, no, I don't understand. :crying:

That was silly , I've not got the update as yet...so its black white small icon at bottom? when turned off. Any good things they added?? Did Messages change UI at all. Supposed to add Duo.

Exactly. Apart from that I wouldn't know the phone got an update. Maybe the status bar is a bit different but I can't really see anything differnet. Keep in mind tho I also haven't really tested anything yet. But I really thought it would be some bigger changes
I noticed that long screenshot have been added.

(Was away from home, so wanted not to take any 'risks')
Now installed, went trouble-free in 20 maybe 30 minutes. Only few changes here and there (graphics for battery usage, camera, navigation bar gestures). Used Nova Launcher before, now I'm gonna give the OneUI a spin for a while. Screen can accept 5x6 icons (plus bottom row), I don't remeber if that is increased, but was used to 5x7 with Nova.
Saw one (A50) v.10 review on youtube that claimed increased performance in bechmarks, so tried that. Could not confirm any increase with PCMark.

- when taking a screenshot, you get an option to scroll down one or more times, then the screens below get collage'd on, to one long image. That's actually quite clever..
Oh, and one negative : Seems I have now a more or less permanent notification "Samsung account. To continue using services securely, sign in again." Dismiss and it will return shortly. Quite annoying, but googling seems to confirm no solution atm. Hope they decide to remove it later on....

I confirm that A40 outputs audio through USB C no problem (android 10). Using with dac/amp Topping NX4 DSD. I write this because I have read all over net that this does not work, but the gamble paid
Ah that sucks.
You could disable the notificatuo for it tap&hold but its still bad if you want to keep it neat
I'm still waiting for update...
I have installed Android 10 update, and I have noticed now the front camera only shoots in maximum 16MP mode.On Android 9 you could shoot with maximum 25MP mode ,why did they limit something which was already working.Also if anyone is still on Android 9 it would be helpful to know which version of Samsung Camera is on Android 9?
Android 10 version is installed in my phone.
In summary, One UI 2.0 with better Dark Mode support and full gestures that remember me to MIUI implementation.
Battery drops earlier, surely due to new ROM installed and I've to wait for ROM stabilize.

In camera app never I can't set image resolution, only I can set video resolution.
Looks like everyone have update installed except me. I see that it should be already pushed to my phone by the end of May. My girl have the same model and she is happy Android 10 user from beginning of May. Any ideas how to force update or check why it not showing in update section? I already cleared cache for google play services and google framework service and still no update
