Note 5 N9200 and samsung Gear s SM-R750 - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
New here, and looking for some help from you all please.
I am in Ireland and bought the Note 5 N9200 it is Dual sim. I noticed that the Gear manager App is now pre installed as a system App and can not be removed.
My Gear s connects up no problem - on first connect it updated with no issue. Everything works fine, calls and notifications come through all normal. the only issue I now face is when I move out of Bluetooth range and wait for the remote connection to kick in , I get an error message " Failed to enable remote connection" and it tells me to connect via Bluetooth.
I did a factory reset on the phone and gear s , made no difference. I then tested the gear S with a friends galaxy S5 and it remote connected first time. My gear s also remote connected with my S6 with no issues.
I would really like to get this working with the Note 5 , soooo anyone out there have any ideas or fixes for this ??
Thanks for your help

I'm considering get the same model but before I committed I was wondering if you had any issues and where would you recommend buying this from?

Ebay.

Perhaps , some others with other versions of the Note 5 , could check and confirm if the Samsung gear app is now a system app ( or is this just the case for SM-N9200 )
Or even if anyone else has other versions of the note 5 that have connected with the gear s with no issue ?
Would be good to get some feedback.

Galaxy Gear + S3

Hey guys,
Yesterday I bought Galaxy Gear. I currently own Galaxy S3 that I would like to pair with Gear.
I'm on custom SlimBean ROM with Android 4.3. I have installed the APK Gear Manager that is floating around the forum here (around 17mb), it installs without the problem, but when it comes to pairing I get a little popup that some part of Samsung SDK is not supported and the connection is being broken. Did anyone else get it to work with S3?
I have time till next saturday to decide whatever I will keep it or not, maybe there will be a solution by then. I can always return it to the store.

update us if you manage to get it to work considering samsung said that it will pair with teh s3 once it updates to 4.3 :good:
sure, no problem, but my hands are tied at the moment, unless someone have some other idea how i could possibly pair it.
Can I ask does the watch display basic functions I.e time,camera etc ? Or is it stuck a the pairing icon?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
maybe there is a way to go further, but i don't see such option. it's stuck at pairing and only display battery left.
gear got gs3 and my gear paired without any issues. My gs3 is stock rom, downloaded the gear manager from Samsung app store and it all worked fine! There are some things that don't work - s voice, weather, can't install any new apps from Samsung app store but pretty much everytjing else works (calling, transfer of pics and videos, changing clock face, etc). Any questions, pls ask!
Rooted Stock Rom on my S3 and it paired fine with my 1st Watch (That went back to Best Buy, since I wasn't paying $300 until it was fully working - and my new one will be here tomorrow - had to take the 30% deal).
So it paires and the functions that worked, worked well ... Like the previous post - No apps / etc ... But Calls worked, pictures, etc

No, it's not rooted, I installed the earliest version of the manager and that one seems to be the only one that works. Today stupidly I went to Samsung app store and tried to install the new version... as the install wasn't working I deleted the version I had - and this was a mistake as new versions seem to be compatible only with 4.3. After searching this site, I've found the version that works again thankfully! so if you click here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484065&page=4 and install the app from the last post - this should work. Let me know how you get on.
for anyone curious, using this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947 and this Gear Manager apk: http://depositfiles.com/files/pmgqxv9c5 will get you paired up with your Galaxy Gear.
Everything connected right up no problem.
The only issue is no notifications, which is the main reason I wanted this but its only a temporary issue. Hopefully.(c'mon 4.3 update :fingers-crossed
Camera, calls, even incoming calls, work fine, can change app settings and everything. I was even able to load GamboyColor AD and play some pokemon on it lol.

Cyanogen mod & S4

For those of you who have this problem, here is a potential band-aid:
When I installed the Galaxy Gear apk on my phone and tried to connect it to the Gear it would try to install 19 items / fail then try to connect to the watch, pair and then disconnect never actually finishing.
I finally got it working by going into the Gear Directory on my phone and running the APK's in that Directory using a file manager, the one which seems to have done the trick is "SAccessoryService_signed.apk", after running that it finally allowed gear to connect and stay connected.
Once you get gear connected you'll likely want some new apps, I installed several from here

You sir, are a lifesaver! I will test this in the morning, but I can confirm the Signed.APK installs. Thanks!
I installed the signed.apk, but how do I actually run it? Mine still doesn't connect :/

got it to work. All I need now is notifications to work and I'll be golden
Great. Thank you. I starting doing this. Then gave up.

Still having issues
SO, I got to my Gear this morning and tried this solution, but I am still having issues. I cant get through the setup and I keep getting "connection failed" even after I run the Signed APK. Anyone have any idea? I see others have it working so I must be doing something wrong.
I am on CM 10.2-20130920 which is Android 4.3.

Can't see that program even after I install the APK in the Gear folder. The only things I see that may be relevant are The Gear Manager APK and the Samsung Accessory Service in the All programs list in settings. I keep getting Bluetooth to connect on the watch (says connected for a second then goes to the spinning watch/device animation), but after a while of the animation on both the phone and watch a message on the phone comes up with "Can not connect". After that point the bluetooth connection seems lost and the Gear Manager asks to connect with the watch again.
SO, I figured it might be my CM 10.2 nightly build on my phone and installed the stable CM 10.1.3 build. Sadly, the same error is happening,:crying:
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Could your post SAccessoryService_signed.apk Im unable to locate it in my directory. Want to try to upgrade to 4.3 Liquid Smooth and see if installing this APK would do the trick because previously I was getting device not supported, but working on 4.2.2 ROMs
Hey guys just wanted some clarification before I go out and purchase one of these beautiful gears !
I own a Galaxy S4 currently running cm10.2 built from source.
Can anyone verify that using the supplied .apk from the OP, you have had success pairing up your gear with your S4 running cm10.2 and have all the main functions working ?
Can anyone please reply with a detailed response on what type of function's are working and what is not.
The only thing that work was making phone call. Notification, Weather, and svoice does not work.
Now if you install a stock 4.3 rom, everything works.

Can you post the apk, " SAccessoryService_signed.apk" please.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
Hi Guys,
First to find SAccessoryService_signed.apk it is in the /sdcard/Gear directory.. It is downloaded by the gear manager software
Anyway I have found something else out too... once you run that apk, if you re-open the gear manager, it will download the next app and put it into that gear directory (it also deletes the old one)... if you keep doing this, you get through mose of the providers necessary. As of writing I have got through to SAmusicprovider_signed.apk which fails install and has left me stuck here.
I have tried this on a HTC One X running CM10.1 and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running stock AOSP 4.3.
If I have an s4 with stock 4.2.2 which installs all ofthe apps automatically which means it is something that sammy has added to their version of android to get the stuff to install.
Will post logs if anyone is interested...
Cheers!

Gear Needs touchwiz elements in order to operate all functions such as shealth svoice and other elements. I have saw where others have got it to work somewhat but not fully. I can confirm with Gear 1 all hyperdrive roms work extremely well with gear.

Bying Gear, a few questions

Hi guys, I am buying the gear, and although I do not have the note 3, just the S4, I don't care, the update is coming soon and loving gadgets, I just couldn't resist.
- Having the s4, will gear manager be available to install ? (although probably not working correctly ) I read people use it with s4 with limited functionality and was wondering how.
- I read about side loading. Will I need a proper phone for that, or will it still be possible using APK leecher directly ?
- Lastly, I guess I should root it if I expect to use any of these options...?
Thanks,
Can't wait

Hi,
- Gear manager has been updated few times "once a week" recently... so give it a try - I am on NOTE3 so I am not sure but read the threads here..
- for side-loading etc - is is all written here - get wondershare mobile go for android (free version works for 15 days...) and read the thread "Tutorial - Rooting/Nova/ATN..."
- for the third point - to side load etc - read point two tutorial..
I rooted my S4 and put an Android 4.3 ROM in. Download Gear Manager and it was working.
Note: Gear Manager won't work without Android 4.3

Gear works approximatively with a S4 under 4.2
Gear Works perfectly with a S4 with 4.3 firmware (no root needed, just update via Kies if proposed, or via Odin)
To install APK, use wondershare. It s easy to do
Root is very easy to do and the gear continue to work correctly. It will help you to proceed at some modifications where a rooted watch is needed.
I have the Gear up and running also on my Note 2. It is running smoothly. I haven't rooted yet. Not to good with adb yet but I have been thinking about it

I received my gear. Issue is that since I am in Canada (fido), I downloaded gear manager but it says that it is unable to use this software since the phone (S4 ) is not yet supported.(expected that)
So I am stuck at the NFC connecting screen and don't seem to find a way to get around it ?(didn't expect that though ..lol)
So is there another way to go about it for now ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try an older version of gear manager (check link in my sig)
Yeah you need a older version. I had the same problem as you with my s4. But I had a 1 hour drive back from best buy when I got my watch and found the older one during my trip.
I have the apk but I don't know how to upload it on here.
Xda says I don't have sufficient access to upload files for some reason. Maybe I can email it to whoever needs it. Pm me with your email and I'll send it to you.
I also have a working watch styler apk I can send you as well. The one in the Samsung app store wouldn't work for me either.
success connecting
ok guys, used an older version and i am connected. On to exploring and I'll post back with any progress on what I am able to do...
Thanks for the suggestions
UPDATE : Rooted the phone, all is good. Tried to install ATN but after I do, there is no option under security settings to enable ATN notifications. Notification access section does not exist at all in my security section ? What gives ?
UPDATE 2: Realized that probably gear is not rooted. I followed all steps fine but when I reboot and open explorer, it never asks me to grant access to everything. When going to data, it says it is restricted...

Call them quickly, report the problem, and quickly return it..If this is not done, they might try to say the cradle and the power are missing and might not give you a full refund. Report it quickly..
Let us know how you make out too..

S-Voice not working on Gear 2 Neo. Anyone else?

Just realized there is a specific Gear 2 Neo forum... they should combine them. How confusing! Anyhow...
I used the S-Voice option once on my Gear2 Neo, then when I was going to use it a few hours later but it no longer works. I hit the Mic to send a talk command and it does the circle connecting icon, then says No response from server. Try again.
Anyone know why that is happening or how to fix it? Did some searching and haven't seen anyone else mentioning it.
Whoops, I should say I have the latest version of everything to my knowledge and am on a GS5. I check for updates for the Gear, Gear Manager, and GS5 and all up to date.

Silly me, S-Voice had updated and wanted me to re-go through tutorial or skip it. I hit skip and boom! Good to go.
I'm having the same problem with my gear 2. I I had s voice working before, after an update recently it doesn't seem to work. It just says Connecting... And times out
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app
Just read up on this issue and had the same issue with s voice not connecting to the server.
Well I resolved this issue by uninstalling the Samsung gear app, and then going to the Samsung App Store and redownloaded it. Then it went through all the tutorial crap again and it reset my watch as well installed updates and a couple service packs. After reconnecting my watch to my phone again, it appears my s voice is working again and can send messages and tell it to do stuff again.
I also recommend installing flesky messenger as it has a full keyboard for your watch so if you're like me and fat fingers stuff it'll automatically try to tell what you're typing.
Currently on a Verizon samsung galaxy s5 on straight talk with a samsung galaxy gear 2 neo smart watch (El cheapo tizan operating system one).
Hope this helps.
I can't find the microphone or anywhere to setup s voice on watch. Any ideas?

Problem with Smart view after oreo update

I doubt many have this problem as most people using smart view have a wifi connection they use to connect their devices to. My display adapter is one that doesn't connect to a network but instead basically creates it's on wifi connection that my phone connects to using WiFi direct. Before the Oreo update it worked flawlessly and still does on my S7 Edge.
Now when I try to connect to it on my Note 8 it's tries to connect and in some instances connects, but then almost immediately disconnects there after. I contacted samsung support and had them remote into it to see if they could get it to work. They told me it was a bug and that they would forward it to the development team, and that a fix should come soon for the bug. Well it's now going on three weeks since then and there has yet to be a update out fixing the issue. I emailed Samsung support reminding them of the issue and they said there was no reported problems related to smart view and that the next update should fix a lot of the bugs that came with the first update.
My hope with this post is that others might have the same issue or a work around, and if not, that maybe Samsung will eventually see it and find a fix for it. My S7 doesn't perform as well as my Note 8 so I'm hoping a solution comes soon.

Where can I find whatever it is that you did to make yours work? Mine works at my friend's house using WiFi and a Chromecast. But WiFi direct to a WiFi video adapter just doesn't work and it makes no sense. Did yours work on nougat?
No mines never worked still don't.
My wife's does out of the box. I have heard so many horror stories. His works his don't. This firmware. That firmware. No one really knows what's wrong with it.
Mine works about half way. I can't never fully connect. Like my tv acknowledges that my phone is trying to connect but my phone never does. My s7 did this too. But my note 5 worked great
Same problem. Galaxy S7 trying to mirror on Samsung Smart TV. Worked fine before Oreo. Now, it says it's connected, then says "Screen Mirroring ended" Help!
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 and have the exact same problem using the smartview funtion that came with the phone. It will work fine for youtube videos but when I try to stream a video from other apps smartview will disconnect and then freeze my phone untill it restarts itself. Before oreo I had no problems using smartview without wifi. Have you heard of any fixes yet??
Still no workaround? :'(
