**THIS FIX DID NOT WORK LONG TERM FOR ANYONE NEW READING THIS** Below information is for review and trial & error purposes only.

This may help some of you out and maybe not but wanted to share to help out.
I had MMS/Picture Messaging problem (Error in Server Response) with Obsidian v2 & v4.2 ULF until I followed steps below:
This fixed it perfectly for me:
Go to your main menu settings.
Than Applications, Next Manage Applications, than Running Applications.
Click on "Messaging", Click "Clear Data"
Exit back to main screen.
Now open messaging.
Go to messaging settings by hitting the menu button on the phone.
While in messaging settings page, hit the phones menu button again,
only one option appears to "Restore Default Settings".
Click it & exit.
Now try to send a MMS/picture message. Worked like a charm for me.
Hope it helps some of you all out.
I'm running on Axura 2.4 and been having this problem. Thanks a bunch for the remedy!
Your welcome. When I had the issue I kept seeing other posts about the issue with no real fix solutions offered. Some one suggested to type a 1 in front of your contacts to get it to work but I thought their had to be a better way if my SMS worked just fine. So I explored further and this worked perfectly for me.
Thinking problem is from lag fix conversion process or from flashing between 2.2 ROMS. But was easy fix either way now that I know.
Thought it might help other 2.2 ROMS as well with similar issues.
does not work....eugenes froyo odin
I also briefly tried telling the phone to connect automatically to a preferred network when I explored fixing the issue on my phone. So other people could try that as well if still no luck with the above method. I'm just glad if ti fixes some peoples MMS problems mainly Obsidian ROM since that's what I'm running.
If does not work with Eugenes or others...well that why I put in CAPS "POTENTIAL FIX" lol
Nope... it doesn't work. Putting a 1 in front of the phone number does work.
Edit
I am running Obesidian V5 Beta btw. But i had this same problem in Obesidan V4.2
Tried to send another mms and it didn't work anymore. Went back and repeat your setting steps again and it still didn't work. Thanks for the effort. It was fun getting that one mms to send.
Export your contacts to your sim card, and you might show double contacts, but use the one on your sim, and BAMM , it will send without a hitch.
This POTENTIAL FIX did not fix after all permanently. Problem appeared again. Tried and still no luck. Going to look into further. If something else comes to mind will share again. At least it was a glimmer of hope to have it work normally even if briefly without a "workaround" approach.
Same mms problem here. Mms seems to work when using wifi calling app though. Obisdian 5

Excellent Work! This fix worked for me as well. That's what's up!
Spoke too soon. I stopped working for me as well, and I cannot make another go thru. Darn!!!
Didn't work for me but I found that using another sms app like chomp worked for some reason. Kind of a hassle but it worked.

Anyone get Tango to work? I tried to install from maket. It downloads fine and then errors on install. Been trying to find an app that works between this tablet and a computer. Any one have any ideas if this one doesn't work? We already got screwed on the Skype beta front.
If I didn't see the potential in the hardware of the grab, I'd return it. So far, VS has really dropped the ball. Stock has no flash or video conferencing. Both on the box.. lol I'll stick it out and hope for the best I guess.
I've had no luck finding a usable video chat app. There's a separate thread for this.
I've tried multiple apps but none have worked...
Yahoo messenger w/ video chat works on mine running Vegan beta 3, but the webcam shows up sideways
I got Tango to work on mine, but its sideways.

Im running vegan b4 and i did a titanium backup on my increddible and then put the backup on my gtab, just apps and app data not system. Ike i said it works but the video of yourself is sideways ut besides that works great.
I mentioned in a previous thread, video calling works better with the gsensor fix. Video chat works fine with yahoo messenger atleast, and is not sideways like it was before the gsensor fix. Maybe it works better with tango.
just tried tango on my droid works awesome never knew much of the app, will give it a shot on my g tablet when i get home its running vegan beta 5 will post if it works.
Tango from titanium
Just a quick side note. If you plan on pulling it from Titanium you wont find it by searching 'Tango', you need to look for the 3 'sgiggle' files to move and restore.
I have it on my tab now but am not in a place to test. I got it to dial out, it was still sideways and died pretty quickly. I'm not too familiar with it so I'm sure it's an error on my part but I'll keep plugging away.
I can confirm Yahoo messanger with the video chat plugin works on VEGAn beta 5 orientation is fine thanks to the gsensor fix. I finally got a chance to test with someone. I don't know if it was just me or not since I only tried once, but after a minute or two I got errors but was able to hit wait and it kept going fine. Eventually I was unable to bring up menus to even exit the chat. Not even to my home screen. Had to reboot to get out of it.
Its a working option for the time being and works from android to computers. So, great option if the closing issues can be fixed.
a lot of people say they got tango to work with video showing sideways.. i see that on my screen but the person i am tangoing with just sees a blank screen... and when i hit the switch camera button it just alerts them that i am switching cameras and stays there..

I purchased my gear yesterday and after finding and instaling the gear manager via samsung's app store I am happy to report that the only 2 things i don't have working at the moment is Svoice... seems to be a bug telling me to accept a disclaimer on the s4 itself but I have already done it and am using Svoice. Two is Notifications of txts and some others... got google now notifications to come thru but most others won't push to the watch. Contacts list... Phone dialer and speakerphone call log and apps work GREAT!!
Thanks guys.. now lets get this thing rooted and fix these two problems cuz id love notifications... a custom rom and my google now to replace the svoice please... Im willing to donate NOW. lol I really want handcent notifications and a way to respond by voice to a handcent txt on the watch..
People look at me like I'm :cyclops: but I could'nt care less cuz I'm walking around looking like Capt Kirk on his communicator.

Running HyperDrive from sbreen latest release.
Same here on an ME7 Verizon S4. Looking forward to the 4.3 update.
Working on GS3 too
Bought the gear today, hoping it will show the time at least until 4.3 update is out for gs3 in December, but happy to report that it's working with the gear manager downloaded from the Samsung store. Also notifications aren't working, same message for S Voice as above, can't download new apps and weather isn't syncing - everything else is working great! Call quality is surprisingly good, camera fun... really happy Samsung customer here
With the recent release of the MJ7 update for the S4 have either of you seen any issues fixed with notifications?
i made a video explaining how to use the Fit on the Nexus 5. this also may work with other phones im unsure.
mediafire.com/folder/05n572epblf4v/Gear_Fit_Nexus
youtu.be/Sk0vsx6k-cU
download those files
install GR.gearmanagerstub.apk
then install gear fit update 1.25.apk
open the app and pair the fit. it should connect. you can use it like this but the update ads a few features like screen rotation.
now you need to get a samsung phone that is compatible and update the fit to 1.49
now you uninstall GR.gearmanagerstub.apk and gear fit update 1.25.apk
now install gearfitmanager1.49update.apk and gearfitinstaller.apk and pair your device. everything should be working perfectly.
i am also claiming the first nexus 5 working with the gear fit
Edit: I just found a "lite" version of s-health that DOES work. Here's the link

Thank you for posting this guide. I will try it out.
Do you also have an idea how to use S Health on the Nexus?

I haven't figured out how it get that working yet. It force closes right away. Nor have I figured out weather. But if you have a problem with notifications just go to settings > security > notification settings and enable it for the gear fit manager. Also still can't figure out how to change the time to 12h instead of 24h.

Scratch that last part. I figured it out right after I posted that. All I did was go to the clock settings on my phone and toggled 24h mode on and off.
Edit: I updated the OP with how to use an "lite" version of shealth.

That's awesome man. Crazy world, I discovered a very similar process with my HTC One M8 and M7. I just sideloaded the apps downloaded from Samsung's App Store onto the M8 and M7. Connected the Gear Fit and it worked. Only thing I couldn't get working was quick reply and alarm notifications. Just goes to show that it's totally possible though. Great work! I hope Samsung decides to open this up to other devices officially.

Yep quick reply and alarm don't work for me either. But I'm thinking we need the Samsung clock and SMS app and then it should work.
WooHoo!

Hey dude! First thread I've found that got things working more or less! Good job and congrats on your mad ninja hacker skilz!
Question 1: Where's the video link? I'd love to see it.
Next... I just went through loading 1.25 and pairing as you described. Amazing! It worked! WooHoo!! Thanks!
During the loading process my Gear Fit decided it wanted to update it's firmware over Bluetooth.
After the update, the Gear Fit says "Software Version R350XXU0ANCF" .
Question 2: Do I still need to track down a Samsung phone and do more upgrading for the Fit's firmware or do you think it's already updated it's self as much as it needs and I can install 1.49 now?
I did try to install the 1.49 apk but at that point things fell apart and no more pairing. I went back to 1.25 and all was well. I hear 1.29 also works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0vsx6k-cU&feature=youtu.be thats the video its in the OP.
my fit firmware is R350XXU0BND8 which i am pretty sure is a newer version because my fit works with the app version 1.49. if there is no option to rotate the screen in the settings on the fit then you are not on the newest version.
also im pretty sure you heard that 1.29 works from me in another post. that was a typo, as far as i know there is no 1.29.
Thank you very much. I tried it out and it works!
I can also install and open the lite version of S Health. But how can i sync it now? I can't login with a Samsung account. Wh i click on the login button, nothing happens....
Thanks again.
Wohooo, you are great. I could follow your steps.
I have only 2 problems:
a) I have no supported device to upgrade the Fit to 1.49 - will have to ask around in office if somebody has a supported Galaxy. Anyway, it would be great if we could manage to get the upgrading function working so we are independent of any special device requirements... not sure, what's missing here, because as somebody earlier mentioned: when pairing it with 1.25 the first time, it downloads a huge firmware update and pushes it to the Fit who afterwards reboots... but either it didn't work or it is not 1.49
b) Have the same problem with the S-Health lite - it can be started, but it is not able to logon to a Samsung account or sync with the Fit
Anyway, this is a huge progress so far. I bought my Fit today. It was released yesterday and only one single store had it on stock - when I found your thread, I immediately rushed to the store
Thank you so much for all the details you figured out so far.

@nala1908 did you get Weather working.!
Partly also works on Nexus 7 (2013), but I can't set up any notification with Gear Fit Manager v1.49.

I couldn't get it to sign in or sync either unfortunately. I'm working on it though.

a) try going to bestbuy or another store that has them on display. They won't bother you about it. The guys at my store were trying to help! And the firmware update to 1.25 isn't an update. Its part of the fitmanager apk. There's also a firmware update in the 1.49 apk that is different. Originally I was trying to move the firmware from the new one to the old one but it wasn't working so I decided to just go to bestbuy and do it with their phones.
b) it doesn't work for me either. Neither does weather. But I'm still working on it.
And I bought my fit when it came out. I got it at the att store. At that point I didn't even know of it would work with the nexus but I decided it would be worth a shot and if I couldn't do it or someone else couldn't either then I'd just return it.
Also to the other question about notifications. Did you try to enable notification sharing in settings?
Hehe, I am really thankful that you tried and posted. You were the reason I dared to buy it. I'm from Germany, so no Best Buy. But not a problem, I work in a huge software company and there are several of these devices for internal tests available, so I may get a grip on one of them tomorrow to do the update. I am so interested to check the sleep tracker.
Notifications works for me like charm. Caller notification worked immediately, for the rest you can enable the general notifications and choose all applications you'd like to receive notifications from. I tried it with WhatsApp, it worked immediately, even showing the text including Chinese characters which are tricky. I am really happy.
As I can workaround the FW upgrade issue myself, my biggest dream would be to get the S-Health app working as this is the way to check your data and statistics. I am happy that the big display also lets you read most of this data, so it is not a total show stopper for now. We must keep in mind that it might happen that we never get the Samsung tools working. They are using TouchWiz stuff and Samsung accounts. So Samsung also would possibly not being happy that people not using their devices (that might also cross-finance the cloud servers) could use their infrastructure and trying to hinder this.

Samsung should be happy we're buying their smartwatches. i dont know if theres a way to get touchwiz on the nexus, but if you could it would probably be possible to get everything working.
is anyones working with alarms set on your phone? i cant get that to work either.
At least I can confirm: having connected it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Gear Fit Manager 1.49, it immediately downloaded a new FW for the Fit and now GFM 1.49 can connect to the Gear Fit and sleep tracking is also available now. Great!
would you guys say this is usable enough to buy?
Depends. For me it is. If you are not interested in alarms to wake you up and can help yourself by borrowing a compatible Samsung phone to make the firmware update and receive new functionality like sleep tracking, then you only will face one important issue:
you cannot sync the measured data to your phone, as this is done by S-Health which currently does not work. The Fit with its big display can still show you all relevant data and also historical data, so that is not a 100% no-go. But for the people who like to browse through fitness stats of past months on an app or in a browser, this is still a show stopper.
Is Link Bubble working for anyone else?
I'm on stock, unrooted MIUI and Link Bubble doesn't seem to be working. I've got it as a trusted, auto starting app, with all the permissions set, but it doesn't seem to be working. Links show up on my history but I'm not getting any bubbles at all. Thoughts?
Nvm. Figured it out. There's an additional setting (not in the permissions) that lets you enable pop up windows.
