Hi guys, I am buying the gear, and although I do not have the note 3, just the S4, I don't care, the update is coming soon and loving gadgets, I just couldn't resist.
- Having the s4, will gear manager be available to install ? (although probably not working correctly ) I read people use it with s4 with limited functionality and was wondering how.
- I read about side loading. Will I need a proper phone for that, or will it still be possible using APK leecher directly ?
- Lastly, I guess I should root it if I expect to use any of these options...?
Thanks,
Can't wait

Hi,
- Gear manager has been updated few times "once a week" recently... so give it a try - I am on NOTE3 so I am not sure but read the threads here..
- for side-loading etc - is is all written here - get wondershare mobile go for android (free version works for 15 days...) and read the thread "Tutorial - Rooting/Nova/ATN..."
- for the third point - to side load etc - read point two tutorial..
I rooted my S4 and put an Android 4.3 ROM in. Download Gear Manager and it was working.
Note: Gear Manager won't work without Android 4.3

Gear works approximatively with a S4 under 4.2
Gear Works perfectly with a S4 with 4.3 firmware (no root needed, just update via Kies if proposed, or via Odin)
To install APK, use wondershare. It s easy to do
Root is very easy to do and the gear continue to work correctly. It will help you to proceed at some modifications where a rooted watch is needed.
I have the Gear up and running also on my Note 2. It is running smoothly. I haven't rooted yet. Not to good with adb yet but I have been thinking about it

received gear, issue I am having for now...
I received my gear. Issue is that since I am in Canada (fido), I downloaded gear manager but it says that it is unable to use this software since the phone (S4 ) is not yet supported.(expected that)
So I am stuck at the NFC connecting screen and don't seem to find a way to get around it ?(didn't expect that though ..lol)
So is there another way to go about it for now ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Try an older version of gear manager (check link in my sig)
Yeah you need a older version. I had the same problem as you with my s4. But I had a 1 hour drive back from best buy when I got my watch and found the older one during my trip.
I have the apk but I don't know how to upload it on here.
Xda says I don't have sufficient access to upload files for some reason. Maybe I can email it to whoever needs it. Pm me with your email and I'll send it to you.
I also have a working watch styler apk I can send you as well. The one in the Samsung app store wouldn't work for me either.
success connecting
ok guys, used an older version and i am connected. On to exploring and I'll post back with any progress on what I am able to do...
Thanks for the suggestions
UPDATE : Rooted the phone, all is good. Tried to install ATN but after I do, there is no option under security settings to enable ATN notifications. Notification access section does not exist at all in my security section ? What gives ?
UPDATE 2: Realized that probably gear is not rooted. I followed all steps fine but when I reboot and open explorer, it never asks me to grant access to everything. When going to data, it says it is restricted...

You need android 4.3 for the notification access.

Cradle and power adapter should have been in the box. Suggest you return it

Call them quickly, report the problem, and quickly return it..If this is not done, they might try to say the cradle and the power are missing and might not give you a full refund. Report it quickly..
Let us know how you make out too..

Thanks Guys, after fighting with bestbuy for over an hour, they have agreed to replace the box and shipover a new one with all accessories in place. it was a fault on their end.
Thanks for responses.
Up until the most recent update, I have been able to share my screen to my Chromecast and then open NFL Mobile.
Now, it displays a message on my TV stating to disconnect my device in order to use it.
Is there a way to prevent this check.
Thought would be to root, and allow the screen cast service to work without the phone reporting this is being done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Am I the only one that this affects?
Or do some people in this community use a custom Rom that avoids this issue. Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah this sucks, hopefully someone will figure out a work around.

Also having this issue and I am pretty pissed off about it. This was the only way for me to watch my beloved Denver Broncos out of network without paying over $100/month for tv I dont need or want.

It's affecting everyone - /r/Chromecast/comments/2isxbo/nfl_mobile_no_longer_casts_video/ (I can't post links?)
The change appears to have gone into affect at least yesterday.
It went into affect the moment I updated the NFL Mobile app on 10/6/2014. I am thinking, something could be done. If ruining a custom ROM, couldn't there be a way to ensure what ever flagged is engaged when the Cast Screen sevice is used to always show as off, so nfl mobile does not know it is being used.
This also affects the Samsung Allshare media cast device. (Mirror mode on my Note 3).

Makes sense. I did try the factory reset but the app says a new update is required...so I'm guessing rolling it back to the pre-10/6 version wouldn't work.
I believe a similar workaround was developed into custom ROMs for hiding HDMI connections but after searching online I can't find anything that references a similar cloak for the screen cast service.
Now, I am not opposed to rooting my phone and using some hdmi adapter. Anyone confirm if there is a ROM that allows the NFL Mobile to stream to the TV in any means necessary.

Supposedly the play store app no longer has rooted phone detection, but that update was about a year ago - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45088481&postcount=244

I'm far from an expert on this matter, but it seems to me it has something to do with the permissions enabled by the NFL Mobile app. With screen cast/mirroring, you connect these devices wirelessly and you may need to cloak this connection in order to throw off the NFL app? In any event, I'm having the same issue and was hoping someone could help.
A work around includes an app called screen stream mirror. NowI don't have the link to it, but it requires root. It can be used with a chrome cast to allow you to watch video which you normally wouldn't be able to. Cost is $5.00.
What's this teensie I've read about? Hacking your chrome cast, anyone heard about it?
Thank You. I will be making some modifications
Re:
NFL mobile app now checks to see if the phone has been rooted and/or has the developer options turned on. In either case it will not allow streaming to a bigger screen. Back in August 2014 they banned rooted phones altogether from watching preseason games, then because of an outcry, they have allowed them back in partially to watch from the phone but not project onto a big screen. They also have put a DRM protection in so you cannot set up a mock location with a gps spoofer app.
No audio with the "Screen stream mirror" app.

It works. If you are rooted, it stands the audio. If not, microphone. Either way, Just enable it in the settings.

Email the developer. They will work with you.
If your audio does not work, I would assume 1 of 2 things.
1. Your media volume on your phone is turned all the way down.
2. Running a custom ROM that is interfering with how the application works.
Does the audio fall to transmit with every application you open on your phone?
Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition, audio plays on the phone but does not cast with the video, have not tried other apps.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 and had the same problem. The recommendation that worked for me was rebooting the Chromecast - just unplug then reconnect the power to the Chromecast unit, wait for it to cycle back up and try again.
3rd day with my Nexus 6 and I have solved most issues ive come across so far accept for
Not being able to use the dish network tv anywhere app. Ive tried multiple installs with the same
End result. Login screen works,then the app tries loading but ends up in a loop that appears very simular to a boot loop (flashes black then starts at square 1). Anyone else had issues? Any ideas for a fix?
Side note 1 : Anyone experiencing force close while using google chrome, turn off the setting that allows tabs to be independant (part of the app switcher) and allow chrome to handle tabs natively.
Side note 2: Still working on a giant pile of data issues on sprints network. I will compile a list for that seperately in a different thread, but is the sprint phone able to transfer to another carrier once i own it? Thanks fellas, excited about finally owning a device that will undoubtably attract androids most talented developers and problem solvers!
Pretty sure they just need to update the dish app. Look at the reviews on the play store, tons of complaints it doesn't work with 5.0.

I asked them on Twitter last night. They said they're aiming for December 3 for an update to the app.

Very helpful, thanks for the positive news.
Hi,
New here, and looking for some help from you all please.
I am in Ireland and bought the Note 5 N9200 it is Dual sim. I noticed that the Gear manager App is now pre installed as a system App and can not be removed.
My Gear s connects up no problem - on first connect it updated with no issue. Everything works fine, calls and notifications come through all normal. the only issue I now face is when I move out of Bluetooth range and wait for the remote connection to kick in , I get an error message " Failed to enable remote connection" and it tells me to connect via Bluetooth.
I did a factory reset on the phone and gear s , made no difference. I then tested the gear S with a friends galaxy S5 and it remote connected first time. My gear s also remote connected with my S6 with no issues.
I would really like to get this working with the Note 5 , soooo anyone out there have any ideas or fixes for this ??
Thanks for your help

Ebay.
Perhaps , some others with other versions of the Note 5 , could check and confirm if the Samsung gear app is now a system app ( or is this just the case for SM-N9200 )
Or even if anyone else has other versions of the note 5 that have connected with the gear s with no issue ?
Would be good to get some feedback.
I bought a broken screen Galaxy S10 from eBay in the hopes it was possible for me to use it by using a USB to HDMI dongle. As shown in the first picture my phone does match the ebay listing that shows that I bought it (green bar across the top).
I was able to factory reset it, screen shows absolutely NOTHING at this point, and I get into android with my dongle and it shows that it is FRP'd.
Is there anyway I can get around this or is this phone I bought really a parts only? I wanted to try and use this as a webcam for OBS using DroidCam OBS software.
I can't see anything in the Recover Mode at all on the screen so I have no way of knowing the firmwares that it uses.
So I paid an FRP unlocking service to get bypass it. I couldn't find any firm way I could run with Odin to bypass it.
As you can see it's the same phone. I'm not endorsing anyone or any program or anything. YMMV
