Does the Galaxy Gear work with the Galaxy S4 Zoom??

Hi,
I have the chance of buying a Galaxy S4 zoom but need to know whether it works with the Galaxy Gear or not? I have a Galaxy Gear (Original Galaxy Gear 1) already and don't want to render it useless should I chop in my Galaxy S3 for the S4 zoom!!
Thanks

The S4 Galaxy Zoom came with android version 4.2.2. On this version it "might" work if you jump thru some hoops. It is able to be officially updated to 4.4 on some carriers. If the Zoom is on 4.4 stock firmware it will work. If your able to get to a retail store and test drive the device, open samsung apps application and search for gear manager. If it's there, your 100% good to go!

So its all based around whether the device can download the Samsung Galaxy Gear Manager then rather than hardware capabilities?

Hardware requirements for the gear are a bluetooth v4 connection. But users with v3 have it working properly. The S4 Zoom has v4.0 with A2DP, LE so it's good to go hardware wise.
Software wise the gearmanager requires an android version of 4.3 or higher that's based on Samsung's touchwiz framework. If your on anything different you have to do some modifying and tweaking. That's where xda can help!

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that answers my question!! The S4 zoom only has Android 4.2.2 and no upgrades to it so I'm not going to run the risk!
I might wait for the rumoured Galaxy K Zoom just to be sure!
I also don't think that the S4 zoom can run S Health either so the integration between the watch and S Health won't exist either!?

Is this a fact? Well, if that's right, I know why my Galaxy Note 1 does work very well with a force installed Gear manager, but calling is silent and with no mike working... Bluetooth 2.1 here... In that case, be sure that your device supports more than mine ^^

The original Galaxy note has Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP, EDR. I use to have one and didn't have mic problems with my gear. You might want to reinstall gearmanager and all the apks individually again.

That's not right!!!! I use gear with S4 mini dual sim from November 2013 and it has 4.2.2. Samsung implemented the necessary files in earlyer version of android. If you could update your phone with a 2014 firmware it is a very great possibility to work. (99%)
Anyway, gear manager works just fine with devices from other manufacturers, I reccomand you to read on the gear forum some more.

Which ROM? Omni KitKat ROM does not work.

I don't suppose anyone is able to definitely confirm that the Galaxy Gear works with the Galaxy S4 Zoom?
I've double checked today and its actually the SM-C101 model I have a chance of getting... OR I can now get a Galaxy S4. So I need to be absolutely sure that I can use my Gear with the Zoom, otherwise I'll go for the S4

Is this realy going to happen?
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/05/14/exclusive-samsung-galaxy-gear-tizen-preview/
How about our presence here at the forum? Is this a Android exclusiv?

Im from SamMobile and this is going to happen. We obtained a test build...
This will be done in the near future..

Wondering. Does Tizen increase battery life on the GG1.
Update. Question was asked and answered on Sammobile - YES!
Anyone know for WatchStyler faces can be used with the Tizen update?

Does it look like the update will come through gear manager or will it be a kies flash required?

They are figuring ecerything out to let you flash through kies... Cause now you have to seperate programs. 1 to change the bootloader for Android to Tizen and the normal Odin to flash the ROM itself.. As this is to difficult for normal users. They figuring our how to do thia through Kies

Thanks for the heads up, nice leaked info! however, android for life! hehehe

Now they just need to port Android to the Gear 2!

Latest version of watchstyler (v1.2) has support for gear 2, so you'd assume the answer is yes

This is too bad. Seems like getting 4.4 and Android Wear are out the window at this point unless someone can compile AOSP for the Gear.

Or a dedicated and talented developer ports android wear to our gear, just like they do with cell phones. Hopefully our gear are not hardware limited to run wear in the future.

I'm surprised there's not more talk about getting android wear on the original gear. It's far exceeds the hardware requirements of android wear and already comes with android. Not only that, but it uses the components from some flagship Samsung mobile phones. CPU-GPU included, oh and if anyone says it's because it's not possible make a new android version run an old android device. Look at the original galaxy s with jelly bean.

i think that the problem of android wear is that there are no real sources, you have the test build images, but no clean sources to start a new rom from scratch like for aosp

Am I correct in assuming that upgrading to tizen will break connectivity with non touch wizz phones? I'm pairing my original galaxy note with aokp to my gear with great results. I would love to have the battery savings that tizen offers but it would be useless if I can't connect to my phone..
Also does anyone know if tizen is open source? Meaning that somebody talented would be able to make it work with unsupported phones..

actually not, it seems that guys with gear 2 are connecting theirs too with non touchwizz phones ! I'm not sure but I think they managed even notifications.

Can anyone confirm that you can flash the bootloader back from Tizen to android?

No more apps from Google Play, goodbye Tasker! goodbye gear

if someone can leak the version of tizen that's doing the rounds at Samsung atm then we could theoreticly flash to and back from tizen and android
atm according to rumour there is a version getting testing but in involves manual flashing ,in 2 parts, the bootloader and the system
if this is the case ,then its possible to flash back from tizen ,
but also according to rumour, they don't want to release any firmwares that's not easy enough to do in kies or odin to a "average user"
I would love the tizen available now just to test it
come on leak it

I have absolutely no idea. I would say some devs are probably looking into it but I don't believe it will be anytime soon. But the good news is I believe there is an awesome Tizen update on its way, not sure neither but that's my guess (that they will port Gear S Tizen to other Gears).
Hope that helps.

You need Bluetooth LE 4.0 to work properly. So, sorry to say that but it isn't gonna work

A simple answer would have been more beneficial instead of what ever that is you regurgitated from whatever mind you have. I tried Google and had no success. I assumed the best forum out there would get me an accurate answer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQlxE8FE5cw this is gear 1 running tizen if your gear don't look like this then is running android simple at that

I understand you frustration. I too couldn't find anywhere exactly how to check the OS on the gear. Then I found the website for the stock roms and learnt. If your gear is running Software version V700XXUBNC1 or older, it is running Android 4.2.2. If your Software version is V700XXUCNE9 or V700XXECNF1 or V700XXUCNK1, then its running Tizen OS. Hope this helps.

Thanks both of you. I'm android.

So NA9 is android? And witch one is better I just got this a day or so ago and lost on it.

Hi, does the above bolded sentence mean Android Wear, or actually full Android?
I am asking because I have a Gear S (Tizen) and came to find out if anyone managed to put full Android on the Gear S.
My second option would be to get a Gear 1, which , from what I read, can be flashed with android, but, again, not sure if that means Android Wear or Android.
I am missing a few apps I'd like to use in stand-alone mode without a phone, that are not available on Tizen, so that's why I am looking to get either a second Gear if I can flash full Android on it, or flash my current one to Android when I upgrade it, of that's possible, of course.
Thanks!

It is not android wear. It is also not full android. But you can get full android if you flash with the null rom. However, the Gear S is Tizen. The above post is for the first Gear watch.

Mine is V700XXUBNA6. Tizen or Android? I just got a gear manager update yesterday. My phone is 100% stock. If my watch is Android why is it Android. I thought Samsung pushed Tizen? Thanks

... and why not ?
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-V700

Sorry but I don't follow links to sites I don't know. What are you saying? I'm not looking for tizen if that is what you thought. Just asking why it wasn't pushed to my phone.
