Hey guys! I've successfully paired my gear to my LG Optimus L9 running Cyanogenmod before, running 4.4.4 kitkat. Then when I switched roms to CarbonRom running 4.4.4 as well, it would no longer connect to my gear. The phone would stay at the "connecting to gear part" while the actual watch did nothing but told me to select the gear from Gear Manager. Now i'm trying to pair it to my Blu Studio Energy, running stock 4.4.2 and its refusing to pair. I don't know what the CM rom did to make it pair, but I just noticed that the Gear refuses to pair with certain roms..

I believe the Razr I is due an upgrade to 4.4 anytime soon and I have acquired a brand new Galaxy Gear but cannot see any way to get them to work with each other. I know it is meant to work with Samsung gear only but is this actually possible? I love the watch but its no use to me if it cant be used as designed i.e. to make and answer calls, control music player, get alerts etc.
Anyone successfully paired it with a Motorola Razr I?
Have a look at how others got the gear working with their device (nexus etc). For everything you need a 4.3+ touchwiz rom.
Hi people,
I am facing a problem that is driving me crazy and i need all the help i can get.
I have flashed my Gear 1 with TizenMod v2.0, but what i am saying also applies to stock Tizen versions NF1 and 700XXUCNE9.
I have set up the watch by connecting it with an HTC One running the GearManagerStub as we all as the Gear Manager according to the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780493
Everything (that can work on an unrooted HTC One) is indeed working.
However, i want to use the Tizen Gear 1 with my iPhone 5S.
So i go to BT settings on the Gear, turn BT off (so that it disconnects from the HTC One) and then make it visible.
I then search (and find) the Gear from my 5S settings and when i try to pair the two the Gear pops up a message saying that it need to reset to factory defaults before it connects to another device. If i let that happen and then try to connect the iPhone, it does indeed connect as a Handsfree device but other than that i am locked in the video splash screen with directions on how to connect. That means that i cannot use the watch at all, apart from the basic handsfree functionality.
The odd thing is that i have been using the watch (stock Tizen 700XXUCNE9 ROM) with my iPhone 5 and a 5S in the past (meanwhile i downgraded to Android for some tests) and i cannot remember having that problem.
I also tried to connect the Gear (after being set up with the HTC One) with an iPhone 4 (no BLE support) and it DOES CONNECT without presenting that God damned "reset to factory defaults" message!!!
I know that the Gear (Tizen OS) does indeed work with the iPhone 5S. I have done it myself (see this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789095) and there is a thread on the Gear 2 forum where member @skeamznz claims the same http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722069), therefore i am not (completely) crazy and imagining things.
Can someone help regarding my issue? Could someone with a Tizen running Gear try to connect to an iPhone > 4S and get back?
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance!!
Anyone?

Found it at last! I had installed the Air Blue Sharing Cydia tweak which is apparently somehow messing with the BT stack. After I uninstalled the tweak, I was immediately able to connect to the watch.
Just in case anyone is interested.

Hi,
I just got a brand new Gear 2 Neo and wanted to pair it to my iPhone 6+. I have couple of questions that I need help on:
1. Should the version info end with "NE5" before I override with a custom ROM?
2. I wanted to confirm that calls (incoming and outgoing), messages and notifications works on the watch when paired with my iPhone after updating with custom rom.
3. I don't have a Samsung device (tablet or phone) but running on KitKat 4.4.4 (cynagenmod) on HP Touchpad. I hope Gear Manager works from the tablet and talks to the watch. Can anybody please confirm this?
4. What about the battery life after pairing with iPhone?
Appreciate feedback.
Thanks.
Hello!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace3 LTE (GT-S7275R) running on stock firmware and a Galaxy Gear 1. The gear was working perfect and suddenly the gear manager started to show the incompatibility error. When I upgraded my gear to tizen, The same error is there. Anyway to get it working again like before?
