Gear Manager updated again today: Problems

1) saproviders keeps force closing.
2) SVoice no longer works/connects from watch to phone.
Cleared "Data" with TIBU for saproviders and solved 1st problem.
Any resolution suggested for Svoice?
Thanks.

Svoice isn't working for me after the update either. I would also like a resolution. When I try to open it I get "connection failed".

I just rebooted the phone and watch and now Svoice is working.

I didn't update yet to the new Gear Manager, although I received the notification that an update is available.
I've read the reviews and saw that some guys had problems, so I decided to wait.
My Gear 1 works perfectly now with Null_23 and I only want to update if the new Gear Manager brings additional features which are worthwhile.
Can someone tell if the new Gear Manager brings new things ?

Another update for Gear Manager is out!!!
I but I cannot check it, because I left my (non working) Gear at home

My Svoice had started working again for no apparent reason since my OP.
Unfortunately now saproviders is going nuts again with a force close every 2 seconds while connected ON phone Galaxy S4. And my clearing data with TIBU trick no longer is working as a solutions.
Tired of these constant Gear Manager updates and messing stuff up.

I got another update today, and it did not fix anything. I'm really pissed!
Notifications are off...

I still didn't update my Gear to the newest version (still on version before the 18th of September).
Can someone tell me what's new in the latest version ?
Is it worth upgrading ?
And I really hate that after each upgrade of Gear Manager, the watch is resetted and I have to install everything (I'm on Null 23).
Does someone know a way to backup all data and restore it ?
Can I use Titanium Backup ?

Absolutely does not update, if it works well. Nothing major has been changed, as there are no announcements. Just ignore it.

I'm on null and the latest gear manager update has stopped message previews for whatsapp+ on my gear 1. Anyone know a way to fix this? Really annoying!

Restore an older version of gear manager and turn off updates.

How do you turn off updates? There is no such option.

In gear manager touch your devices name. Then touch "software update". Now UNcheck the box that says "automatic update".

Looks like this

Why do you even need to use the app? Just setup and leave it

Do you never install new apps on ur phone? Don't ever need to set up notifications? No? "just setup and leave it" isn't really a solution to the problem but thanks for ur effort.

I'm sorry I mislead you. Updates in gear manager are for the gear. You need to turn off automatic updating in Samsung's apps settings.

turn off updates
"Turn off updates" would you please elaborate on that? I tried turning off every update I could find related to the gear(1 null 23) and it still tries to update. When it does say update needed I can't stop it. It will shut Down the gear manager....Thank you.

problem not just no notification or media control , its drain battery so quick

R381XXU0BNL2 New Firmware Changes?

My Gear 2 Neo just got updated to R381XXU0BNL2, I've been trawling the internet for a changelog without any luck.
All I have noticed so far is the android/tizen version has been increased to 2.2.1.2
link: LINK TO SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE PAGE
Anyone noticed any other changes?
(still wishing someone would port Android wear to the watch)

hi i just received the same update,the only thing i noticed is that is smoother than before. (By the way i wish someone can port android wear too)

I assume Samsung Gear (ex Manager) and Watch Styler still work? I have mine set for manual updates check - doesn't seem that the new ROM is available in Canada yet.

Yeah Gear Manager works ok and watch styler seems to be ok too, Looking at the dates on the SamMobile site it doesn't look like any pattern emerging as to when Canada will receive updates. recently Russia got version NK2 but no other country did!
seems like a very strange update rollout technique.
Update: watch does seem a bit smoother, but I have had 2 occasions where the screen wouldn't come on and I have had to long press the button to bring up the power menu. I rebooted on both occasions as the watch seemed really laggy.

Any more feedback guys?
Thanks in advance! Too nervous to mess with it, it REALLY runs fine now with my 4.4.2 Note3 :laugh:

hi
deleted

Tizen version didn't increase. It was 2.2.1.2 for BNE5 too.
The biggest problem of these firmwares is that the notifications
don't remain on the screen until dismissed by the user. I have
to use clock with shortcuts with one of the shortcut being notification
in order not to miss any notification.
I was hopping it will get fixed with the next update. I'm still on BNE5
firmware. Can you please confirm/infirm is that was fixed?

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.
Curious about experiences with BL2...Tizen gets so little publicity it's almost like no one cares...so no feedback on the web other than a few posts here.

I was talking about sms and missed calls notifications. These are not persistent.
I would like to use "clock + events" but because I miss a lot of notifications
I have to use "clock + shortcuts" instead. Number of missed notifications
is indicated by a digit on the notification shortcut icon. No need to
double press home button each time. It's enough to check the time.

I know where to find it, but I'd rather not do a manual upgrade seeing how there is NO info re changelog and have no clue why it's not available to North America.
Weird...talk about Samsung's transparency.

Samsung started a mass update of the firmware according to the site above dates. Probably it will reach you soon. I have a Hong Kong version of it (TGY) although I've bought it from Europe and I have to wait for it too. If the wait is too long I might go to samsung care center and ask to change my CSC to my country.

Well then your screwed. Look on Samsung site for firmware. This device has never had a u.s firmware from that site. And any I mean any firmware they release is there. I flashed u.k watch is fine. If you flashed tizen or rooted at all. You will never get a update ota. Try in gear manager says your device has been modified and can not receive ota updates.
Sent from my 0x1 Note 3...... I love tep

Most certainly this is the last update. Samsung is always doing mass updates for the last firmware. BNE5 update was released in May. So if there is still a new update after BNL2
it will be very far away in time. So I won't worry about not getting ota updates anymore. You can check mrcrab site and do a last flash if it's needed.

FYI...I did get BNE5 when I first booted up the watch (and I only bought it 3 weeks ago)...so there were NA updates- just not this one.
More importantly, please post here if you run into any problems on BNL2 as like I mentioned, I have ZERO issues currently so stability is more important to me than new features which I might not use.
Cheers :highfive:

Can't setup as new device

Hey folks
I'm having trouble setting up my Nexus 6 as a new device.
I am on the developer preview 3 and I have tried both logging out of my google account and factory resetting. I have also reflashed the preview that that would work.
However all I can do is restore from a backup but I want to setup as a new device. I can select it from the drop down menu which is weird but it won't allow me to select done.
Is this some sort of Android 6.0 feature?
Thanks for any help.

You need to remove your Google account before Factory Reset. That feature is in place since 5.1.

Not trying to be smart or say you didn't do it right, but I had the same issue several times and always just needed to turn to landscape and then hit the button. Just doesn't detect or something in portrait. I'd try again and just tap around in that area.

Does the full screen icon exist on the Note 8 for Youtube??

As in the s8 plus, while watching youtube an icon will appear to let u fit the video to the entire screen. Now on my note 8 this icon is no longer present.

When you play a youtube video a round "crop to fit" button pops up which allows it to play fullscreen.

Yup tried that already. I did a factory reset yesterday cuz of other issues

That is a bummer. I looked all through settings on mine and couldn't see anything that would affect. Good luck!

Had the same issue. Updated the Software in settings and now its working. You'll see that the Software update includes enhancements. Perhaps Samsung forgot to include that feature the first time around.

It doesn't seem to matter. I can tap anywhere and the icon will pop up on the right side.

For me some videos start out cropped, like some videos from Vevo. It says "Automatically adjusted to fit screen." Then you have to tap the screen to switch it back to normal. And others start out normal and you have to tap to crop.

if it wont fit force it and if a screwdriver wont work use a hammer. means if it wont cooperate, fdr force master reset. Set it up as a NEW device and restore other apps at reinstall one by one until it works right again for you, else contact carrier about provisioning services again to make sure its not the network being a pain in the gass.
