Hi guys,
I've recently started looking at my wife's Galaxy Gear. She got it free with her Samsung phone ages ago and it's sat in a drawer ever since. Seems like a waste to me and I'd like to get it working with my phone (HTC One X running 4.2.2, rather old I know).
Last night, it was running the last Android build of the firmware and I could get it connecting correctly with my phone using Gear Manager version 1.6, but a lot of the features weren't working. As Samsumg have updated Gear Manager to Samsung Gear and now 'support' non-Samsung phones, I thought I'd try updating the firmware on the Gear to the latest software release (PDAA2 / CSCA2 (BTU)). Since I didthis, I can't get Gear Manager 1.6 or Samsung Gear 2.2 or 2.1 to see the Gear watch. I've tried the version on the play store and that doesn't work either.
Is there a specific version I need to run to get my Gear working on my phone? I don't really fancy trying each version in turn because each version takes about 30 mins to install and then uninstall.
Thanks.

I am having multiple problems with my Galaxy Note 2, after connecting the Galaxy Gear. All my media and ringtones play through the front-facing speaker grille, the "Find my Device" feature doesn't work, and when I try to play music through the Stock Music App, I get a message saying "Unable to play during call".. It is as if Stock Android is handling the gear as a headset, instead of Samsung Gear Manager.
I have a WIND Mobile T889v, and I tried Stock WIND 4.3 ROM, Stock T-Mobile 4.3 ROM, and Stock International 4.3 ROM (De-Knoxed)..
I think it may be the problem with the kernel? I am running Devil2 kernel, even tried multiple versions.
The weird thing is that I didn't have this problem for the first few days, then I got it, it somehow went away by itself, and now the problem consists throughout multiple ROMs. I even reset both the Gear and the Note 2 multiple times. I really dont want to return it because I love the Gear, but this is really frustrating..

I was getting the same error "Unable to play during call".
By killing Hangouts from Application Manager, music starts playing normally.
I turned off Hangouts to permanently resolve the issue.
Hit Thanks!, if it helps
Hy guys. 2 months ago i had gear 1 and i am pretty sure there was a sleep monitor app after tizen update.
I sold this one
Now bought another, updated to tizen via kies, but still have not sleep tracker and some sport apps, only pedometer. Even the icons are not like on my previously watch.
Firmware versionafter update was V700XXUBNC1.
Flashed via odin latest firmware - V700XXUAMK7 and again nothing.
Now i am again with latest (according kies) firmware - V700XXUBNC1
I am using with Motorola moto G and gear manager is 1.2 like on first my watch (when had sleep monitor)
So why are these apps missing and how i can get them.
Sorry for poor english, i hope to understand me.
Hi.
I hope this is the right forum for this. I've done a fair bit of reading / searching and can't find any definitive answers.
I've got an S4 that I've flashed CM 12.1 (5.1.1) onto. Everything is great, except that I didn't realize at the time that my gear 2 doesn't like the non samsung os. I tried the various ways to get gear manager to work on non samsung devices (which mine basically is right now), and none of them worked. GM either wouldn't run, or would keep crashing, even after it was supposed to stop crashing.
I figured I'd just reflash the watch with a ROM that was more friendly to non samsung phones. I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/rom-tizenmod-3-0-skin1980-t2850351 which says it bypasses samsung protection. It also says to upgrade to NE5 firmware first.
I checked my firmware, and I'm running R380XXU0BOA2, or simply OA2. I can't really find a list that states whether this is older or newer than the required NE5. If it's older, I assume I can simply upgrade to NE5? If it's newer, do I have to downgrade to NE5 first?
Any other suggestions for getting the Gear 2 connected to CM12.1 would be appreciated. I don't use a lot of the watches functionality, just basic email / text notification / reading. Don't use the camera, speaker phone, etc.
Thanks in advance.
Got my phone working with 5.1.1 Sony z3, was having host manager has stopped issue, notifications n call works fine only transferring pics to phone gets stuck at 0% in notifications.
Ok I will buy, which version manager, which version firmware, and is all functions working?

calls and notifications work fine, gear wont push photos to phone after taking on watch , it tries to push but gets stuck on 0% , and yeah , call logs wont show up , rest works
Ok so it will work on my Galaxy j5 on 5.1.1 presumably. But which Gear Manager did you use, the Play Store one isn't compatible with 5.1.1 and the Galaxy apps one although installable isn't compatible with the gear 1.
I use Galaxy Apps one with Gear 1, on 5.1.1 Note Edge. Everything works just fine.
Im on Note 4 5.1.1, Gear app can't connect to my gear.
Which firmware ?.
All Good here...
Phone....
Note 3 N9005 with Norma Note 5 5.1.1 update 20 English version. Bootloader and Baseband N9005XXUGBOK4. Idle Kernel 7.0.0 with Samsung Gear 2.2.16011842 and Gear Plugin 2.2.02.16012242.
Gear....
SM-V700 with Software version V700XXUCOA2.
Everything works, Photos auto send, all notifications and even the media control.
Hi There,
I am the owner of an old Samsung Galaxy P8110 (Google Nexus 10), 32gb, Wi-Fi only.
I am not a heavy user, but I am just becoming less and less user since the last software updates (after KitKat), as the tablet is becoming more luggish and slow.
There is the option of rolling back (I can re-upload the firmware that I like more, e.g. the very old 4.1.2. or 4.3), but as soon as the tablet gets hold of a wifi, it automatically download the new software, Lollypop 5.x and installs it at the next reboot.
Is there any chance, mod, third party app to stop the update and make me live happy with an outdated software release ?
Thanks!
