Hello all,
I have two questions about the watch.
1. I have Xiaomi Redmi note 3. I've read few threads, and I now know that it is possible to connect the watch to any android. device However, is everything working the same as on Samsung phone? Are there any differences, lack of functions?
2. The reason why I want to buy this watch is to make & send picuters. Is it possible to make a picture directly from the watch, and then send/share it to someone via whatsapp, messenger or other messaging app also direclty from the watch, without touching my phone?
Thanks in advance for all the answers.

1. I hope you get it working as I read it works without touchwiz phones .. but I am not sure how..
I know 1 thing for sure - things like "S-Voice" won't work on your phone ^-^ and all the other Samsung stuff
2. Hm ...I always thought about that too as the gear takes good pictures but I came to the conclusion that sending them to my phone and then over WhatsApp is simply better.
I mean you can isn't all WhatsApp on your gear, that's not the problem but you'd need to tether your Internet over Bluetooth and ..your gear will heat top much and..it's not worth it ^-^'
Instead - why don't you download from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680828
"Camera360" and "Mini gallery" , install them on your phone while being connected to your watch and using gear manager.
It should be automatically installed on your watch and all you do now is taking a picture (normal or camera360 ((much better!)) ) go to mini gallery and click there on "share" and send it immediately on your phone ^-^
I hope I could help you ^-^

I have been looking around and I have found a few other phones being able to connect to the samsung galaxy gear, but there hasn't been a complete list of phones or even links to forums to help get it to work, figured I would start a thread.
Also anyone know if the LG Optimus G Pro is capable of connecting?
Getting phones to connect with the gear is one thing. I managed to connect my gear to my nexus 5 but without gear manager there isn't much functionality.

I dont think it'll be possible as of now
I'm using GG on my Pantech IM-A890K.
Gear Manager crashes whenever I touch "Settings" so I cannot really get notifications on my gear. Plus, native Weather / Media Control / S-voice do not work either. Except them, it works well; I can send/receive text (using TabletTalk), take a photo with native transfer service and use 3rd party app for remote control (Media Remote).
The only problem is that you still need a Samsung phone to initially get the gear ready for another non-Samsung phone. Take a look at this:

Hi everyone, I am new in this forum and I am planning on buying a galaxy gear, however I read online that it is not possible to directly share pictures taken via you galaxy gear, unless you have an application that helps you to do so, and I was wondering if any of you know of an application that helps so I can share pictures taken directly via my galaxy gear?
Best regards.
If you run NullRom then you'd have access to all the apps you'd normally use to share stuff on your phone on your gear.
Hi, I am thinking about taking the plunge and getting a Gear Neo. Besides notifications and the ability to actually making/receiving phone calls (and the IR blaster is also very nice..), the other killer features for me would be:
- a good S Note/note app, the ideal would be to be able to run Google Keep on it... Is it possible? What is there for the Gear Neo/Tizen smartwatches?
- being able to read documents (*.DOC or *.RTF or even *.TXT files would be OK). Is this possible?
Ideally, I would have Dropbox on my smartwatch and could open my docs from there but I realize that I may be asking too much... LOL
So, anyway, what can you do in these 2 areas on a Gear Neo?? All of the other features are very much talked about everywhere and are clear to me but few seem to care about these 2 use cases...
TIA
Hey,
I've got four questions, and would kindly appreciate any help/suggestion.
1. I would like to know whether it is possilbe or not, to allow certain apps (e.g Waze) to turn on Location automatcially upon start, without the need to manually turn on (and later off) Location via Settings.
2. By using a third-party app (Notify Me), when getting a message on Whatsapp, it will wake up the screen and show a preview of the message. The downside occurs when a second message arrives from the same sender: instead of creating a new row, with a new preview of the message, it is summed up with the previous message and now I will see: "2 messages from XXX" - and the only way to preview those two messages is by unlocking the screen and slide top-to-bottom (to show the updates center window).
I tired to play with the notification settings on Whatsapp, Notify Me and "notification" on Settings, but none of them satisifed me.
And another thing regarding WhatsApp - when I recieve a photo and download it to my album, and later I delete the photo from the album, it will also be deleted from the sender conversation window! Why those two are linked? It means that if I delete a picture from my phone and then regret and want to re-download it from WhatsApp, I can't.
P.S - WhatsApp is installed locally, and pictures are saved on SD-Card, if it has anything to do with that.
3. That might sound a bit odd, but I don't like the animation shown when browsing photos on Album app (kind of "revolving doors" animation). Is there a way to change it or to turn it off? Maybe changing animation settings using "Developers mode" will sort it, but then it will disable each and every animation on the phone, which I basically like.
4. Is it safe to use old syncing cables (original ones when I had Samsung Galaxy SIII mini) with my new Z3C? It seems to have the same mini-port connection, but I fear it will somehow damage the Z3C because of unknown compatibility issues (different voltage or something)
Thanks a lot!!
1. You need to use third-party for that. I use and recommend Tasker to do that kind of thing (and many, many others).
4. It is safe to use any USB cable (as long as they're not faulty). The only potential downside of using old cables are a reduced charging speed and reduced transfer speed.
For your other questions I don't know so I'll let other that do answer rather than hypothesize.
Thanks for the answer, but I wonder if 1. can be achieved only with the help of a third-party app? This app will probably run in the background all the time and consume more battery, which is already quite weak thanks to the 5.1.1 update...
I don't know why it is so complicated.. it seems natural that a GPS-based app will automatically turn on the Location upon start, and will turn it off upon termination.

I just received a Samsung4 smartwatch and am looking for more apps not available on Google Play! Primarily Social Media apps and Facebook Messenger. LOL. That's where I chat from and those contacts are not in the other message apps - Google Android Messages, Samsung Messages (which is best to use?) I am here to learn how to download the apps listed on this site. I have some IT experience (IT Systems Technician for 16 years/IT Systems Analyst 2 years) but haven't tinkered with a smartwatch. I did brick a phone back in the day so I'm a little scared to mess with my brand-new watch! I did install the Moviebox APK (Kpanda?) on my smartphone, but it didn't require any other software. I already opened Developer Tools - ADB - Debug over WIFI (the IP starts with 10) From what I understand, I have to make changes in Device Manager for the phone, install APK software programs to my laptop (are these free or do I have to pay for it?), download the apps I want from your catalogue and install to the watch? I will watch the videos and follow along! And there is no risk of damaging my watch, like maybe I select something wrong and wipe it out or brick it?
Unfortunately, I don't have a correct IP address - Debug over WIFI shows 10.0.0.194, therefore, I cannot proceed with downloading APKs from Uptodown from either Bugjaeger or Easy Fire Tools. I am connected to Wi-Fi and not getting a 192. IP. There is no notification request sent to a device. When I click continue it says "Authorization Failed". Is there another setting I need to change?
Update: I figured it out. My old internet provider used to begin with 192 but this one starts with 10. Then when I click on the file that I want to install I have to click a prompt on the watch to allow it. All good!
Welcome to the XDA forums! Looks like you found the Samsung Galaxy watch 4 section!
Cheers
