I just installed the watch styles app from the thread earlier onto my s4 active . it installed and works on my watch fine. as most of us without note 3s cant connect to the gear watch store could someone upload the watch apks so we can test them. I hear there is an ebay app.

On GEAR, you can take photo (camera app built-in), then it can transfer those photos from GEAR to your Paired mobile phone.
If you need more app, you can make installation from apk files (by the use of ADB or Wondershare GoMobile or Bluetooth File Transfer).
Yeah, but take a picture with the watches built in camera, and one with the phone. I tried taking pictures of my son trick-or-treating tonight and the watch doesn't do well in low lights or distances. I had the Sony Smartwatch 1 and it had apps to take pictures using the phones camera, record audio via the phone (So you could leave your phone in a room and record from your watch). On the remote camera app it even showed the viewfinder on the watch. Thats my chief complaint about the Galaxy Gear. The Sony Smartwatch came out over a year ago, and the apps it had are way more advanced than the Galaxy Gear which is $100 more than what I bought the Sony watch in 2012. I could read full GMail emails, facebook posts not just messages, same with twitter. It worked both ways the phone could control the watch and the watch could control the phone. The ONLY reason I'm putting up with the Galaxy Gear is because the ability to make/receive calls via bluetooth comes in handy for me. I just hope I didn't back the wrong horse by switching to Samsung..... I think Sony was more successful because they left apps to the Google Play store. Once the developer pack was out anyone could make an app for the Sony watch and put it in the market. I'm not very satisifed with the APP store being proprietary.

yea exacly what i need to.. something similair to smartwatch,, aremote for the phone camera, the one build in the watch isnt good in low light :/
what your looking for is a remote for the phone's camera like the "Media Controller".
might not exist yet :/
I would like to know if there is an app that will allow you to activate the gear camera from your phone...for example if you wanted to use it in another room.
Nice! Its interesting to have this Samsung gear watch. Mine is Samsung Galaxy mobile phone only.

Just figured out how to use the gear as a trigger to take pictures with my phone
This is kinda limited but hadnt seen it on these forums yet so figured would share once I got this somewhat working. The app to use is camera remote, it is free on market, and needs to be installed on both the android device, mine is currently the verizon gs4, and to have it sideloaded to the gear, used wondershare no problem.Once both apps are installed, you lauch on the phone, and then select the option of camera, then you launch it on the gear, and select remote, its hard to see in the frames due to the adds but can be selected. Once both apps are running you can then on the phone select the bluetooth icon and select pair, assuming your gear is already connected to the phone through gear manager. Then select gear, then line up the phone to what you want to take a pic of, used my dog sleeping on the couch, and then on the watch app hit the camera icon and it will trigger the phone to take a pic. Im sure this can be expanded on but figured would share the initial fun.

any apps that i can download to get a working watch face like the one on the gear s2 but on my phone. I cant find any apps.
I have an AT&T Galaxy S6. Model number SM-G920A. I just got the Gear for it for Christmas. I downloaded the oculus software needed to launch the oculus Store. When I put in my code to get my free $50 worth of games, I picked the bundle I wanted and it went to a loading screen and got stuck. So I closed out after a long while, and opened it back up. My code had been recognized, because I could now download the games in my selected bundle without paying. But NOW when I try to download them, they all get stuck at 0%. It's almost like the servers are down or something. Even the apps the store auto downloads (photo app, cirq de sole video, movie app and the oculus tutorial) where all stuck at 0kb. I have downloaded a few games off the list of games that where in that contest, and they work fine! I spent all night looking for an answer and found this "Facebook. Com. Page manager" glitch. But all that is enabled on my phone! I use Facebook every day! I uninstalled all my cleaning and blocking apps, and still nothing. Help me please...
Bump
Please!
I've gotten some sideload apps, some cardboard apps from the play store, and a nice video player (360 vr). . .
And to switch between them, you have to take the phone out, launch the app, then put it back in. Wth samsung
It would be really nice to add others to the gear home library.
Or even better, a custom home launcher
Is anyone working on something like that?
There are plenty of custom launchers already available in the Play store. I use Fulldive VR, it's an Ocolus Home replacement if you like, but it gives you access to all the Cardboard VR apps installed on your phone.
