Anyone else having problems where bluetoothe shows headset profile so it treats your phone like a speaker only I tried everything now when I get a call the watch don't ring only the phone when I accept it then it comes out on the watches loud speaker. Not sure what's going on but maybe someone else had this problem and solved it.I am using the latest gear manager and latest firmware on a sony z ultra with GPE rom.
Update I think I can narrow the fault down to the very latest firmware which I flashed and now it's time to go one step back to previous firmware MK7 even watch styler don't work on latest firmware samsung have done something to break all things in latest firmware.
Update doing some further testing it's not the firmware it's the vershion of gear manager that destroys most things I recommend to install v1.6.111801 things seen to be working fine even watch styler but remember when installing watch styler make sure your gear and manager are connected when installing the Apk file that's important.
[Q]is there a way to stream music from a galaxy gear with a Bluetooth headset?
Yes. The gear has to be on a Tizen release. Then you can load music onto the gear and pair the gear with Bluetooth headphones, or an external speaker and rock on!

Yes- I am on Android using Null_Rom. This gives you access to your internal folders like Tizen, except you have the freedom of Android. I sideloaded Rocket Player (music player app that works well on the Gear) and can easily connect to a BT speaker.

Rocket player with android on Galaxy Gear lets you stream media?
Hard to believe that no one figure this out yet
galaxy gear pairs with headset but doesn't give a option connect to device
looks like its missing files
Thanks for your reply!
I gave this app a try but it lacks the files needed to establish a connection.
after looking into the matter ive notice that Galaxy Gear is missing connection files.
It allows to pair with headset the same way as phones but You can not tap on the device lables (even the phone) in the bluetooth menu to connect to the device the way normal bluetooth connection works .
I tried installing bluetooth fix app, the app gave me error message that the GGear is missing bluetooth folder.
I know alot of people would like to see this function working on Galaxy Gear without going to Tizen, if we could get a Dev to give us hand or if we get some insight on how the bluetooth connection works would be a step forward in getting this to work
i will bookmark this, currently waiting shipment for GG1.
i do hope can play abit with the stock rom, and then root, install null, before jump to tizen. i really need this function bluetooth streaming because i cant carry my note mobile while jogging with my bluetooth headset. so unless there is tweak to make bluetooth works on android, i need to use tizen.
anyway, i heard null rom has bad battery life, if you stream mp3 would this make the battery life even worse?
Hi there, I have my Galaxy Gear 1 running NULL_23
But I have the problem that it keeps playing the same ringtones that I set for my iPhone even though I already put my GEAR into MUTE or VIBRATION mode. Its very annoying when I'm in class.
Does your Gear do the same?
I'm trying to see if I upgrade my Gear 1 to TIZEN OS, and it will completely 100% mute in MUTE or VIBRATION mode or not. Because my main function is just answer call and time. However, not sure if the Tizen OS is pairing with iPhone somehow. I remember I read some thread saying that the Tizen OS is able to pair with any phone via bluetooth, but you need to install some 3rd party bluetooth connection so that non Samsung phone can pair with it. However I cant find it again anymore.
So I recently just got my Gear updated to 6.0.1. I had a hell of a time doing it too. The watch came shipped with a developer rom attached. Had to reboot many times to get it working using the Watch Tool. Then updates. Oh lord the updates.
Anyways, I get it to the latest firmware, and now, my phone and watch don't seem to be communicating correctly. There's no cloud or anything to give the idea that it's disconnected, but I can't do searches, can't sync my music or get my watch to connect via wifi since it has to use the phone to do so. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
EDIT: The phone and watch are paired. Forgot to mention that. Going into the phone's bluetooth settings, I can easily see the watch paired to it. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S3.
After getting 6.0.1 you want to forget the watch from the gear app. This will reset everything and start pairing again. Should fix the problem
Hi I just got my old galaxy gear S1 sm-v700 out of the drawer after 18 months, reset it and then paired with my galaxy s6 edge. All looking good until I looked for apps....
Where have they all gone?! Clicking on galaxy apps store via the galaxy gear app brings up just a dozen or so apps, there used to be hundreds!
So I then thought I'd try pairing the watch with my bluetooth headset, only to find thats not happening either! Obviously I have bluetooth turned on for both watch and headset, but the visibility on watch is greyed out and wont let me turn it on, meaning my headset cant find it!
What happened, this used to be a fab watch, as it stands right now its just OK i guess.
