At last, I get my hand on that apk !

Yes I think so too, 4.3+BT4.0 are the key. And my GNexus turned out very specific : BT4.0 but disactivated BLE.

I had to force it. But in the end it paired. Huzzah ! :)

Does your watch display the caller name from phone contacts ? Or just the caller number, like me ?
[General Accessories] ptolomeo:
Look

When calling, only the number but when I receive a notification SMS from the bank I get the banks name displayed...
[General Accessories] system02:
I can't even install the apk on my Note 2 with Android 4.1.x. :( Guess I have to upgrade.

btw: What's the difference between the GB-6900 and the GBX6900 watch from Casio?

Can I control the music player with the old watch, too?
[General Accessories] mataral:
SMS but not calls, quite weird

Anyway, thanks for the information. Looks like, the watch fully works only on the S4.

Yes you have. G-Shock+ is 4.2.2 restricted.

Music control is only for the 6900B, I guess your old is 6900AA which does not.

The X6900B is simply larger than the 6900B.
[General Accessories] system02:
Now I have a 6900B and my Xperia Z has a higher Android version than my Note2: 4.2.2 but I still can not install the G-Shock application. I get the error message "There was a problem while parsing the package" :( I get the same message on a Z1 with Android 4.2.2, too. So the watch is just a watch for me but no smartwatch. Any solution?
[General Accessories] the_jako:
You need Android 4.3 or higher. Wait for the rom update for your phone or install any unofficial rom like cyanogen.

[General Accessories] system02:
Ok, I thought 4.2.x is suitable. Or is the app restricted to Samsung phones?
[General Accessories] AMoosa:
It says it on the app description in the Play Store. Galaxy S4 only. It needs Bluetooth 4 Low Energy which is present on that phone.
[General Accessories] system02:
Bluetooth 4 is on the Note 2, Xperia Z and Z1, too. So my question is if the app needs an S4 or if it just needs a ROM with the required functions? In the playstore it just warns when upgrading from Android 4.2.2 to 4.3. to clear the cache-data of the older app.

As it runs on a Note 2 with 4.3 there must be a way to let the watch talk to a Xperia Z/Z1.

Did anybody succeed with this combination?
[General Accessories] ptolomeo:
Can you try and tell us? Android 4.3 has Google's implementation of Bluetooth 4.0 so it should work for you to, but as always, the best thing is to experiment by one self.

Good luck.

Soon i'll get casio gb-6900b. If they will connect with my nexus 4, that i'll tell you.

it does connect on the nexus 4 (since i own one) for a good minute but for some reason it disconnects by it self still wondering why ...
[General Accessories] vladis_nik:
You have gb-6900B? Exactly "B" version?

Anyway they may work later.
[General Accessories] ybivets:
hi everyone!

i have gb-6900B and Nexus 4 (Stock 4.3), i have connected it only once. after that, I missed the button and turned off the clock bt ((. to reconnect I spent a lot of time, I tried all the possible options ... and they're all still connected, but unfortunately, I still do not understand the correct sequences(((.

I'm tired, finger after repeated switching bt already sick, so I decided to wait for an update from Casio.

P.s. Googling the problem I found that the updated app also does not work on ios.
[General Accessories] klutch:
no my bad i have the GB6900AA but they doing the same thing i tried it on macys and it does the same thing
[General Accessories] vladis_nik:
I wrote to the technical support casio. Here's their reply:

"Actually we do not know which phone companies will choose to offer this feature for their phones. If we could just put it out there for anyone that has BlueTooth v4.0 we would have placed it out there so we could sell more watches.

Goggle Play only allows download for the phones that have partnered to offer this to their customers."

I didn't understand them.

I've got a Nexus 5 and have installed the G-Shock app.

Connection is painless, but when the connection is lost, it doesn't automatically reconnect. I have to delete the pairing info on the app and on the phone too, and then repair. I have to do this EVERY TIME the link is lost - so if I leave my phone downstairs and go upstairs, I have to repair to get a connection. Very annoying.

Also, I've noticed that the connection is sometimes lost for no reason.

I think the fault lies with the G-Shock app.
[General Accessories] ybivets:
Guys!!! my N4 have updated to 4.4.2. and now my phone and watch gb-6900b connect good and reconnect when lost connection. Yeah!
[General Accessories] Duddyroar:
Interesting...my Nexus 5 is now on 4.4.2 and it still won't connect well with the watch - in fact, it seems worse since I got 4.4.2.

I wonder if the N5 is to blame for this? I've tested the app with a Galaxy Note 3 on 4.3 and it connects fine, reconnects without any issues.

Does anyone else out there have a N5 and one of these watches?
[General Accessories] vladis_nik:
My nexus 4 with android 4.4.2 also work with watch. But watch doesn't control music player. I'm use google music player.

I have a Samsung S4 I9505 (normally with Android 4.3) but i want to use a ROM from google edition 4.4.2

Some one can tell me if casio 6900B works in this configuration?

I'm looking for a smart watch like this, but i don't understand if it work or not ...

Maybe it works with "normal" S4 (with samsung firmware)...
[General Accessories] vectron:
Can anybody please confirm if it's possible to use G-shock bluetooth with Galaxy Note 2 running 4.3? I finally got official Verizon update for N2 with 4.3 and can't wait to try it out. I know Casio doesn't have it listed on their website yet, only those Samsung devices supporting 4.3, but I hope it will work with my N2.

Hey guys. I'm trying to install the latest GShock+ app I extracted from a friend's S4 running 4.2.2 on my Sony Xperia ZL running the latest 4.3 firmware (sort of, it's a leak). However, trying to install it on the phone just returns an "Application not installed" error. Doing so via ADB returns a "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY] error. Pushing it to /system/app just makes it force close endlessly. I also tried it on my 4.4.2 Nexus 7 and it returns exactly the same error. What am I doing wrong? Is it because the phone that had it installed was running 4.2.2 and the apks are not the same?

Update: I don't know what I did (perhaps pushing it to system/app and trying to run it) but now the Play Store detects my puny device as a compatible one so I installed it from there and it worked! I can open it properly, but since my GB-5600AA won't arrive for a few weeks I can't yet test it.

What I did check though is app sizes. Both apps (the one I extracted from the 4.2.2 S4 and the one the Play Store installed on my 4.3 ZL) are almost the same size (9,19MB), but there is a very tiny difference in bytes: 9,638,019 vs 9,639,419. I guess the former one only uses the Samsung LE libs and the latter one uses the stock 4.3+ LE libs. Who knew!
[General Accessories] vartanm:
finally we are enjoying the watch after 1 year of having it :)

I have note 2

i just installed 4.3 Rom and now the watch connects and does all the functions perfectly

it connected to an s4 running 4.2 rom only with a few things not working..

and now you can download the software on google play when you have a phone that has 4.3 ROM

and I tried to install the apk that i extracted from another phone, it didn't work, so just download it.

I got a surprise Christmas present and my GB-5600AB arrived. After a few failed attempts I finally got it to sync with my Xperia ZL (though it sometimes when it loses signal I have to resync it)

Surely Casio will be updating the app so it works with 4.4 on the Nexus 5? It is, after all, the "benchmark" Google phone. It really should work with it.

I still can't get mine to connect. At all. Since the 4.4.2 update, it won't even connect to the watch.

working with 'standard rom' update android 4.3 on S3

Finally Samsung did on last boxingday an OTA update ( in the Netherlands) to the Samsung S3 phone which contains the android 4.3 version.

I already had the Gshock+ APK and i was wondering if the 4.3 BLE certificates made is work, and it did !!!!

I've got a standard (non-rooted) S3 rom with 4.3 and the lastest Gshock+ APK (app) manually installed, because the playstore only authorizes Samsung s4 devices.

So you don't have to switch to custom rom if you have android 4.3 on your phone and a gshock gb-6900a*

Gb-x6900b & htc one

Sorry for my english. I'm using google translator.

I use a Casio GB-X6900b and HTC ONE leak 4.4.sense

It connects without problems. Following dismissal from the phone connects without any problems.

It works to control the music player.

Sometimes it breaks the connection (phone close watch) and does not establish it again.

It is then re-inclusion of bluetooth watch

The problem is also with the display name of the contact if the number is in the form of +48xxxxxxxxx

The same problem when the contact has assigned two numbers.

Is the S4 is the same?

Caller ID?

Interested in getting one of these to pair with a Nexus 4. Can somebody please confirm if there is indeed Caller ID Display for Incoming Calls and SMS. After taking a look at the "Comparison Chart of Mobile Link Functions" page it says Caller ID under Incoming Call Alert for the Samsung Galaxy Phones, which I assume should be the same for Android Phones.

Hi

I am on glamours4 rom on s3 and every thing works.

The wach couldn't pair at first but after removing the battery and putting it in again and going to setting and holding the upper right button

It paired.

Dropping connection

Is there anything we can do to have this watch maintain connection. Since having it, I had an opportunity to give it some real world use during my regular work schedule. Once I get it to connect (which is its own headache even though everything is properly setup) i seems to occasionally drop connection, and randomly reconnect. Is there anything I can do to ensure a more solid connection?

I am using the Xperia Z1 on 4.3 stock. I am still happy to have this watch though.

also there is a bug on android for displaying contacts names when recieving a text on the watch.

the fix for me was to not have brackets on the area codes and the "+" symbol infront of country code e.g. +19051234567 in your address book for each contact.

hope that helps also.
[General Accessories] braveally:
For those of us who are having problems, we should harass Casio via all social outlets to express our dissatisfaction with a shotty device. There is no reason for this watch to have so many issues doing its basic functions. So if you have a few free moments, for the sake of us getting our values worth, please drop them a line.

Don't think there is a fix for that so far, its just Bluetooth being unreliable

Unfortunately the G-shock+ app is not yet officially available for the S3 on google Play.

I've looked around and I havn't found yet the last apk (the one that had been released on December the 25th) to manually install on my S3 (it seems it is possible even if the phone is not rooted).

Anyone who has this last version willing to share the apk?

FYI, There is an update available for the G-Shock App. It says it should fix some bugs and help maintain a connection, but as I am typing this my watch has disconnected and reconnected about 4 times now.

[General Accessories] braveally:
Thanks, that review is pretty spot on. Even though I own the watch, I read it and was happy to see you address some of the issues we are all having here. Although I disagree about the design aesthetic but i'm kinda a g-shock fanboy. I must say though, I can never get any of the fitness tracking features to work with mine, but again not sure if my model supports it. (I would be glad if someone can talk me though it, Xperia Z1, Purchased Endomondo if that works)

What I did want to mention is that in the last few weeks I think I have received at least 2 updates to the app and the stability has improved exponentially. How is it working for everyone else?
[General Accessories] victorbrca:
I don't know if they had an app update, or if the latest CM11 nightly that I installed yesterday fixed the issues. The phone and watch seem not to loose connection anymore, and the re-connect is really straight forward now.
[General Accessories] victorbrca:
Maybe we could make a new thread where people can report what devices/os works with the phones?

Also, anyone with a LG G2 tried it yet? I'm thinking of upgrading my phone.

[General Accessories] seckin:
I have a rooted N4 with stock rom and a couple xposed modules. I bought a GB6900A and looking for a solution to pair my watch with my phone. Phone is 4.4.2 and it only pairs once and loses connection in a shortwhile. Reconnection fails all the time.

I will flash a 4.3 rom and try again. In app page, it says it supports 4.2 and 4.3 samsung devices. I will give a shot. I let you know later.

UPDATE: I just flashed stocked 4.3 rom for my nexus 4 and strangely wifi and bluetooth did not work at all. I could not turn on the bluetooth or wifi. I guess we need to wait for casio to update the app and give support to more devices.
[General Accessories] victorbrca:
One of the things to watch for is that your ROM has the libraries for BTLE. For me it only started working after I updated my CM11 version.

n

And don't even bother to call Casio because their support sucks. If you don't have a supported phone they won't even talk to you.
[General Accessories] seckin:
So I need to find a rom with BTLE libraries and flash it. That should do it, you say. Does CM11 has those libraries? How can i know if a rom has them or not?

And your thoughts about casio support is so true. Everytime I wrote them, they can say "supported phones are blah blah blah"
[General Accessories] victorbrca:
I haven't really spent a lot of time looking into it. I know that the GS3 was one of the first BT4 android phones, but it didn't have the libraries. When I first installed the G-Shock app it didn't work, but after updating my CM11 nightly it started working. I haven't really looked at the changes made on that nightly, but I'm guessing that some BT libraries got updated.

Xperia M (CM11) & GB6900B

Hi guys,

Good news for Xperia M users which runs CM11 (Beta 5 or Fxp317 - 4.4.2 KitKat). This rom fully supports BT 4.0 and BT LE profiles/features.

I flashed this rom yesterday and since than my GB6900B and my Xperia M (C1905) were paired. I was able to donwloaded G-Shock+ app from play via this rom.

Now I'm able to control my watch from my phone and I have notifications on my watch. Fully works all the features of GB6900B as well.

IMO, native CM11 has BT 4.0 & BT LE features so it has to work with other phones which are suppoerted by CyanogenMod.

You should have a try on it. Hope will work for you too :)

Thanks PecanCM
