Any idea what is this and how it effects my gear? I get this at random and always after a reboot.

I noticed this randomly also, Not sure what the F in FOTA stands for.. but OTA is over the air.
So make sure your connected to bluetooth, or if your not using bluetooth to disable it in settings.

Got this after installing ATN. Reset watch and haven't installed ATN again since and hasn't come back. Not sure if there is any correlation here.

I got it before installing ATN so I'm guessing it's not because of ATN. I was thinking it has something to do with me rooting the gear but as mentioned above, if you reboot the gear and your phone Bluetooth is on, you don't get the msg.

After the update, did you enable the additional notifications in the gear manager? if you click on notifications, at the bottom there is a 'more notifications' toggle, which then allows you to have any app installed (that would normall have notifications in your task bar) send their notifications to the gear.
This worked for me. I can read the messages from hangouts without any issue at all. I also have facebook notifications and such shown on the watch as well.
I'm having the same issue I'm on wicked v9 now with a samsung galaxy s4 for t-mobile and I don't see a "more notifications" tab anywhere just a notification tab. It has hangout on it but it only opens the app on the phone.
Yep mine is the same as Ragnarkov. ..don't have more notifications. ..maybe I have to wait for another update

The latest version available to me on the Samsung App Store. Both Note 3 and Gear are full stock, no rooting.
Attached screen caps of how it shows up on my phone. Not sure if it would be different on a different carrier variant, different roms, or different phones etc.

I am actually shocked. I honestly thought software-wise (with any OTA/Kies updates) we recieved them at the same time. I usually check for availability with AT&T or another american provider because the ones here in Canada are TERRIBLE at giving out updated information.
Sorry I couldn't be of help

Are you running an alternate rom on your note 3? Or are you using an s4 or note 2 perhaps? I'm using a stock, fully updated note 3 here in Canada (bought on and sold by bell) with a fully updated gear directly from samsung brick and mortar store.
I still am stumped. I could have sworn American providers got all software updates at same time as, or earlier than, Canadian providers.
I have heard that you needed all software/firmware updated in order for all notifications to show and work. If your gear manager is same version as mine, is your gear firmware same as well?
I attached a picture of my firmware on the gear to compare. The end part I'd the most important, the MK7 part. That's the latest firmware from what I know available to everyone in North america, or so I've been lead to believe.

i had the same issue,
but now it works fine...
TO HELP US :
activate patern on the galaxy gear
on your phone
FOR HANGOUT ONLY :
remove any SMS software (Go SMS, and others)
Because it was the problem for me... (but i will give you a solution after)
activate hangout SMS
Go to options, SMS, and activate Notifications and Vibrate
On the gear manager, go to Notification, more, and check "Hangout"
Go to Hangout, send a message to your own phone number to test it, and wait 1 or 2 minutes to validate if it's okay
FOR GO SMS :
Go to Hangout (if you have) and uncheck the SMS option
Go to GO SMS, settings, "advanced", and UNCHECK other SMS softwares in the section "other settings"
return in "settings", go to "notifications" , check "enable notifications"
go to "defaut notification settings" , and uncheck "vibrate"
Now you can use GO SMS on your phone and receive the notifications from the stock SMS software on your gear
The only one problem is you will receive 2 notifications on your phone, (but only one vibration)
Sorry if the paths and names are not the same in english for you, because my phone is set in French...

Gear symbol on phone

Got my new Gear 2 Neo Mocha Gray from AT&T from the sale (despite being a Verizon customer, hehe), and I'm really enjoying it so far. The trick I found was just change the drop down when you order from mobile to home phone FYI.
I'm a bigger guy so I find the size very pleasing, it's aesthetically pleasing as well. The lack of apps can be forgiven as it is new but what it does so far it does well.
There is one thing that is really bugging me though. I am a little OCD about clutter on my phone and hate notification icons at the top, it makes me think I have unread messages/emails/etc. How can I force my Note 3 to not display the little watch symbol while the Gear is connected, I looked for turn notification off in 3 different Gear app places but all were grayed out.
Thanks!
If you are rooted and on kitkat there is an xposed setting that will do it. However. That persistent notification is what keeps Android from purging the app.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I am rooted, on 4.3...on clue how to do that though. I do get what you are saying about preventing Android from purging.
That notification icon is my biggest complaint right now. Galaxy S3, not rooted. =-/
Yeah, it's my biggest complaint too...and it's not even in the watch it's on the phone

a lot of people are having problems with xposed as once the framework is installed it causes s health to crash
so far not fix for it but it works for some and not others.
Xposed works on my note 3, assuming you have a different device. ..

He's not saying xposed doesn't work but if u install s health and have xposed running u will struggle getting it to load....
I uninstalled xposed as I use s health quite a bit.

Precisely. Xposed and shealth work fine for me, I suspect its device specific. Shealth 3.1 aand latest xposed on note 3 kitkat stock rooted.

I loaded up a new rom and all is working 100 % I went with the Echoe rom
I'd like to remove that ongoing notification as well. Anything xposed modules for 4.3 that work to remove that?

Car Mode

Am I missing something or was the "Car Mode" option removed in the Note 5?
I used this when docked in the car on the Note 4 using a NFC tag.
I just got mine today and I see Car Mode listed in the "Galaxy Apps" as a download.
Are you on Verizon? I don't see that.
It looks like Verizon has removed the Galaxy Apps. I know the link refers to the S6, but I think it is relevant.
I will start looking at third party apps.

What dock/tag are you using? I'm interested in finding one with that + wireless charging built in
I am on Verizon and I have Galaxy Apps. It was on the 3rd homepage. If not there look in your wigits drawer.

Looks to be a flashable ZIP? Any way to get this as an installable APK for the unrooted/Verizon guys? Thanks.

It's not a flashable ZIP, just a few APKs that I zipped to upload as one file.
I have seen it in samsung app store. Also going in application list i see car mode apk still present. I have Note 5 with Verizon!

Car mode

Does anyone have car mode on their note?
I cant find it on mine. Checked in the status bar options and also all through the settings with no luck.
I heard that aome carrier versions do not have it. Im wondering if im in that boat (i purchased mine on a plan through Telstra). Mine seems to be a standard version though as there is no physical carrier branding on the phone, only incthe software when it boots up.
Im really surprised and disappointed that with todays techniology, i have a phone that cant assist me with the likes of reading back emails, sms, etc and all thst handsfree stuff while driving.
Please tell me theres a way i can add this function. If need bw im happy to install a different firmware that had this included.

I think it is a carrier thing, not sure though. You can Google Samsung Car Mode and there is an XDA member who uploaded one that works on the SM-N920I version.
Legendary! Found, installed, abd now one safe happy driver. Thank you!
Im going to have a look and see if i can install the stock standard OS without the carrier restrictions and apps. Seems silly to remove such a useful tool. Hate to know what else im missing

You can get it from galaxy apps.

i have it, experiencing a lot if little issues, also needs to be more customizable....
Originally it wouldn't show up in the galaxy app store. A week ago it did. Downloaded it and have some issues with it so I have removed it for now. After using it Google voice won't hear me and also have issues with using a Bluetooth headset with it.
