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...

Nope I didn't see any faster battery drain on my note 3 9005
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.

Any cyanogenmod S4 users have any success using the gear ?
hey guys just bought the SGG. so far was able to install gear manager on S4 stock international rom with the same errors.. notifications and weather not working.. no biggie.
the app I want is chat on for gear.. yet when I install from the app store it has an error.. due to the device being on 4.2.2
does any one have the ported apk from an install they have done of chat on??
**** edit ***** found it
I really want this too
Same here I can't download it with the gear manager, this is one of the main apks I would like to have.
Need It Too
Yes I really need this as well because when I got the Gear it had the ChatOn app installed (bought in US) but once I updated (live in Canada) it's gone. Really want it back. Anyone got it?

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.

Install on the phone. If this doesn't work for you then a custom ROM for the gear should be your best bet

Calls are directed to the gear and for some reason I can't add my bluetooth headset as the audio only. i have tried diabling the phone audio option for the Gear but it still sends the calls to it. I'll keep messing around with the settings to see how it works. Last night I was able to install watchstyler on the phone by installing the apk and i can use those clocks now. Also, the watch is on non-stock Android rom from these forums.

Hi, you are using Gear1? Tizen or Android? Sounds very interesting if this procedure works with gear manager 2.2, gear1 tizen and non Samsung lollipop!

Nice attemp my friend solrac21. I look forward to hear your outcome on the compatibility. I'm on Z Ultra, and want to jump to the ship of Lollipop, as soon as Gear Manager works on Lollipop !
Hello Friends, i have the Galaxy Gear with a HTC One M7 ... apparently works but i have two issues,
1) the pics taked by the gear did not sync with the phone.
2) The gear have not load the phone contacts. (There is really important for me)
Somebody have information about it?
Thanks in advance.
I'm using the beanstalk ROM and can't find the apk for galaxy gear that works, all the ones I have tried have force closed.
That's not a question!

Try a different rom. I get the latest gear app from the Galaxy Store. Do you have that installed?
I couldn't find the galaxy gear app from the store but I'm pretty set on sticking with this ROM, its pretty stable
