Uninstall all other third party Contacts apps. Reboot, try agsin. Disable it, reboot, then enable it and reboot again?

I just use built in contacts app only.
this problem appeared after updating Firmware.
I worry the problem is the firmware.
thanks

i changed Samsung theme...solved.
i think any theme is not compatible with latest firmware.

Great Gear Apps

I wanted to start a place to let everyone know about really cool software for the gear. Here are two that I really like:
Mini Gallery - Allow you to display the photos local on the phone on the Gear!
WatchStyler - Allows you to create your own watch faces with any picture!
Do you see any more that I may have missed? Let us know!

Start with "Gear Manager", then select "Samsung Apps", then select "Utilities" You'll find it there.

It was slow the first time, must have to cache the phones locally much faster after that.

i found "Mini Gallery" in the Samsung app on Note 3, download it, got text "show app in GEAR administrator" pressed and found it in "my programs / installed" as Mini Gallery. There is no tool / wheel behind Mini Gallery,here ? as in the other originally Gallery. So nothing to set. I rebooted Note 3 and rebooted also GEAR, but nothing helps, I can still only see, on the GEAR, those 3 images i photographed with the GEAR, no pictures from Note 3 gallery. I need help !!
I just tried a bunch of sound effect apps and these 3 worked for me:
Peanut Gallery (multi sound great layout for the gear)
The real Drama Button (One button Baa baa baa!)
OMG! Button multi sound not so great layout)
Enjoy.

Accuweather Widget - Gear Refresh Problem

Hello all, I've been using my Galaxy Gear with my Galaxy Note II for a month. Everything is perfect, Except the Weather Clock on Gear is not refreshing. Does someone have the same problem and the solution. ??
I had to put the weather widget on my home screen and then it started working. If you don't have the weather widget on your home screen put it on there and see if that works.

It's always on my homescreen and still not refreshing
And your using the weather widget that came on your phone? Also go into the settings on the widget and make sure it is set to update. I have the i605 note 2 from Verizon and mine is syncing just fine.

No the widget is custom Note III widget, came with DN3 custom rom.
I had to put the weather widget that came with the phone on home screen before mine would work.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I have exactly the same issue on my Note 2 running DN3.1.1. It used to work fine. I suspect it has something to do with the DN update to 3.1.
I have the same problem with my Note 2. I was told that if the Accuweather is modded in any way it will not update the Gear. I've tried several different things to get it to work but nothing helped. Went back to the leaked AT&T 4.3 firmware and it works fine. I really want to go back to Skynote4.3 N3 for the Note 3 features but the weather is bugging the crap out of me.
Mine doesn't update also unless I refresh the widget on my note 3. Im using the stock weather widge abd have it set up to auto refresh every 1 hr but still not working. Hope theres a fix to this.

My weather app didn't refresh on my GG paired with my Galaxy S4 then I remembered I had the "transparent weather widget" mode done. Replaced the modified accuweather.apk with the stock one and now everything is working.

Well I tried this one, neither it worked with Gear on my 4.3.1 DN3 Rom phone, nor the edges of the widget were proper. Yet I found a solution to refresh but it's burdensome. Cos you need to clear Data and Cache both widget app and the Gear's weather provider app on Settings-Apps. Anyway it works and you have to set the location from beginning after all.

Before swapping to my stock app I used to solve the problem just like you (cleaning cache/data in all aaccuweather apps) I'm almost sure if you find you stock model accuweather app you will get the app working just like me. BTW my model is SGH-M919N (MetroPCS)

No Ditto Rom is the best rom ever made, I can sacrifice my Gear Widget for it maybe our devs can do sth for it. @Arsaw @titooo7 @RevengeDevTeam @ravijani @funky81 @sotmax
I use Nova so of course can't use stock weather widget. I am not rooted. Any way to manually update weather on gear? Would it help to have weather widget on desktop of stock browser even if I'm actually in Nova and can't see it?

They're at the bottom of the notification screen in Gear Manager. Not the best place for them, but I imagine they'll get their own category at some point.

I had that problem too; the second time I edited them it worked. I don't know if rebooting the phone and gear helped. I'm not sure what I did but now they are edited to match what I have on the phone.

I had this same issue on the Gear 2 Neo and the updated templates did not push to the watch until I modified ALL of the templates. Initially, I only wanted to edit a few of them and nothing changed on my watch...even after restarts. After going back to edit the others as well, the watch was immediately refreshed with the new templates (with no restart or any further action). Odd, but it is what it is.

[Q] Help: Transfer S4 S-memo to S5 Memo problem

Hi everyone, I just upgrade my S4 to S5 and I transfer everything by TB, so far seems everything ok, but there is one problem, there are lot of notes under my S4 S-Memo apps, I think only "Memo" Apps on S5, I am able to export all my notes from S4 to google drive, but I only able to use Samsung account only on S5's Memo, and I don't know what folder is S5's memo located, I really needs those notes cause I using lot of them everyday, can anyone please let me how I can able to get those notes works on my S5? thank so much....
If you search in the Samsung app store, they have an app called "Smart Switch Mobile". Install this on your old phone and on the new and it will automagically transfer and convert the notes into the new s5 format. Worked wonders for me!

[Q] issues with Runtastic

Hello,
I dont post much so yell at me if you need to.
https://www.runtastic.com/en/apps/runtastic
I have runtatstic pro and I have installed it in samsung apps store.
when I go to open runtastic pro on Neo it opens splash screen and opens runtastic on phone but does not advance any farther.
I have contacted runtastic support and its pretty much a dead end.
Can anyone help on this or can confirm its working on the gear 2 neo?

On a side note I can open Trainr, Gear2cam, Hotbit, and others just fine.
Do you have runtastic or runtastic pro on your phone?
I've successfully logged runs with it in a g2 neo, doesn't use the inbuilt heart rate though so I had to use the in built running app in the background as well but you can start that and then switch to runtastic and it keeps track in the background

Not sure why it wouldn't work then, the only difference between your setup and mine is the phone. Maybe something to do with a non stock rom? But seems strange that it's only one app.

When I click on the app on my Swatch immediately my phone shows a dialogue : which app I should open and they choose mountain bike ?
