I just got the Gear and saw a video online showing someone using it with their S4. I couldn't get the app. Its not available on the Samsung apps store or Google Play. Anyone else get it working?

I have it with my S4 and can find and download the Gear Manager in Samsung APPS. Search for Gear and find "Samsung GALAXY Gear Manager".
Not everything working but ok.
Cheers, Jorge
I'm using Gear with my Galasy S4 and already when i was on 4.2.2 i found Gear manager at Samsung Apps.but now with leaked firmware 4.3 all works like a charm.
[Gear with Galaxy S4 or Any Galaxy Series] ... First of all, Galaxy Gear will only works with Galaxy (with Android 4.3), but at the moment they are with Android 4.2.2, so ... you will check out the apps for Gear and your Galaxy HERE below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476319
You will find all the apps (at the moment), and the main app to connect your Device with Gear is ... GEAR Manager (you need to download this first.
Good luck!

Yes, I'm waiting for it ... I'm using S4 I9500 (not I9505 with 4.3 leak.)
Thanks.
4.2.2 no go for S-Voice
Guess, this what shows up when your phone isn't on 4.3 JB, right?

Does your battery drain fastest on your phone while connected to the watch?

Are you sure in 4.3 everything works. Because I tried 2 different touchwiz 4.3 roms. And none of them worked. Gear manger said device was not supported

I'm running Hyperdrive on my s4 and the svoice notification is as far as I get too. I'm tempted to try a 4.3 and see if anything works better

It works but not everything. S VOICE, weather, txt and email alert doesn't work on me using a 4.2.2 rom.
Media control, answer/make calles, change watch face, install apps via apk not using thw samsung app store all work. I'm sure that are other things that work and other things that don't work. I just can't remember all right now

Not that I notice anything monumental on saving juice. Maybe, there would be a significant change once my S4 is on 4.3 JB cuz I know I can check notifications, use S-voice as it's meant to be and what not so less time unlocking the phone and screen usage... although phone's BT is running all the time so Gear could remain tethered to it but i believe it's BT 4.0 LE*, right?
*LE, Low Energy... though am not sure it's got a real world impact or just a marketing scheme...

Alright, so I have been tinkering with my watch and have a few questions. I have rooted my watch and installed busy box, and all is going well so far. Additionally, I am using my watch with my S4, rather than my Note 3. I wanted this topic to be more of a few questions and general discussion/clarification.
I have installed the newest Gear Manager and when I go to Weather on the watch I get "Add city to weather widget on mobile device" but it never seems to sync. I have added a location to the weather widget. Is this by chance just a feature thats not quite working on the S4 yet, or am I missing something?
Pedometer - When I try to send my steps to SHealth it fails to sync. Also, known S4 issue, or missing something?
Gear Manager - Unable to install apps - When I navigate to My Apps > Featured > MyFitnessPal for Samsung Galaxy Gear (or any other app), I select Install, and I get "Product does not exist in this store(4002)". Im guessing this is because the Samsung store is reading my S4 build.prop and determining there are no compatible apps.
In re the last topic, could someone send me the APK from their watch for this app, Ill side load it.
I am at the office and want to install some apps via ADB, but don't have my cradle handy. Is there any way to get an APK to the watch that anyone can think of?
I am working on recompiling the stock camera app that does not have the shutter sound. Ill share when I get it done.
Update: Here is a thread with all of the APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522
Thanks!
I got every thing working on my gs4, including svoice, text notification, and weather by using the 4.3 rom. I also downloaded the latest gear manager from a post in this forum and ot seems to work great, including allowing me to download apps from samsung.
Gear is rooted, running smart launcher, a few games, camera silent hack, and everything is still working.

i have an S4 and cannot get weather or texts to work! Samsung needs to give us 4.3 on the ATT i337 now!
Any cyanogenmod S4 users have any success using the gear ?
Just wondering if anyone else if having the issue I have been having. I got my Gear from the US (I'm Canadian) and my Note 3 here in Canada. When I first got it it had the ChatON app preinstalled and I used it heavily because I could reply by sending a voice message. Anyway after doing an update and a reset it was no longer there and of course you cannot download it on their App Store. Was this a location things, only available in some areas? Anyway to get it back or does anyone have the file? It would make it so much better for me.

I'm not having any luck at finding it. Would you mine posting a screen image of the ChatON app in your Gear Store. Thanks so much.
It's in my store.. sprint galaxy S4 on 4.2.2 though I edited the build prop to note 3. Ever since the edit and reinstall of gear manager I managed to pick up a few more apps too.

well it runs 4.2.2 so everything i have tried that runs on 4.2.2 runs on Gear. also if you want Gear specific like to be in their official app store then take a look at this.
You can find the SDK in all the gear apps..
They share all the same library's, analyze these library's and the SDK will be revealed.
Has anyone experience problem with limited app choice in samsung app store?
I've recently submited app for samsung app store, and it seems like samsung is categorizing gear apps by phone + gear model.
Everything is ok, but some models (notably Note 3 + Gear 1 Tizen) are missing from the list, so I can't download my (GetUp! Alarm Clock) and any other new app from the store. I just have some basic apps + watch faces which really sucks
Expecially that Note 3 + Gear 1 is quite popular combo.
Anyone can confirm this? What can we do about that?

Quick fix: I've masked my Duos as a normal S3 using Device Spoofer.
Over hand: Nerving Samsung. I cant see any sence of that. Its Bullsh...
BTW. Havent found you app. Maybe is also restricted to the country
Thanks for your answer!

That's strange.
I have selected all countries availiable so it shouldn't be the case.
It seems I can't be sure where and how my app is avaiable... And I don't have any way to verify it...
The only hint I have are two user comments, both written from S5 / gear 1 tizen.
I am running a nexus 5. I spoofed the Samsung s5. And am able to install the Samsung app store and browse apps. Sadley downloading/installing give me a fail. However the galaxy gear manager does not have a list for the Samsung apps market. Either the on android or tizen

Hi,
Just got a Gear 2 Neo as a gift and I cannot find Gear Manager on Samsung apps or Google Play Store.
I found an APK but it cannot connect with the gear after connecting via bluetooth.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
I am running 5.1.1 Lollipop S6 Galaxy.
Thanks!
It's in Galaxy apps
