[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Could it be better ? Sure. Will it get better? Of coarse it will !

There's nothing BETA about it, its simply a new consumer product which hasn't boomed yet.. once the developers gain interest you can bet your ass your going to see some amazing stuff from the gear.

Anything Samsung related on the watch works extremely well, could they have included additional features sure. But why would they ? Its a Samsung device providing support with Samsung products/applications straight out of the box.

All the things listed can be easily resolved via software updates, or third party software. Eg. ATN.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ericerickson592:
Any complaint you have about the gear will have the same complaubt about the new sony smart watch. Its new. Do your homework before you buy something.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
Eh, I love mine (got the 30% off deal) but I agree with the OP and am disappointed with the small amount of apps in the Samsung store... and at least half of it is junk. A big reason for that is because Samsung is being weird about releasing the SDK to the public, I wish they'd get on with that soon. Though I think (I hope) the situation will get a lot better soon when they release official updates for S3, S4, Note2 to make them compatible with the Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] le0.br4zuc4:
I have to disagree with the OP. The gear is amazing. I don't have problems installing apps and I think some of them are pretty good like watch styler. The only thing I don't like about the gear is that it doesn't show notifications for third party apps and I hope Samsung releases an update enabling notifications for all apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AstroDigital:
The Galaxy Gear is ready for Prime Time.

I love my Gear.

Has all the Apps I want.

Anybody that takes the time to find this forum should know,

You do not have to get all the Apps from the Samsung Store.

A member of XDA has a solution for notifications, many people use it and like it.

Do not know about facebook, could care less about facebook.

Sounds like the OP thinks the device replaces a smartphone,

A smartwatch tells you at a glance if the message you get is worth pulling your smartphone out.

Who other than the OP, has every had any problems with the Gear Locking up?

Who other than the OP can not find a way to tell time with the Gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
I LOVE my gear watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
For me SVoice/Phone integration/Camera is what makes this watch, and also of course the notifications. Really don't care about apps (Although Tripit, Evernote and MyFitnessPal are nice).

It's like google glass on your wrist!

eing able to reply to messages by voice from my wrist in the car is awesome. I never hear anyone talk about these great features when they are griping about the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
Hi . that's a shame you are disappointed.What colour did you get.

I think we can see from this earlier post this persons position
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] yzf750:
Well lets see....

Cant even hear a call unless your in a quiet room

Cant reply to a txt with s voice unless its dead silent or s voice gets it wrong

Facebook app turns your phone settings so it speaks every stupid thing its doing

watch making app STILL locks up daily your clock

every other day updates to gear manager trying to fix something without a update list to give you a clue

installing apps hang alot

some dont work or give you just a blank watch face when you try to open them

Guess all the posts in the gear forum are made up :)

I quit flashing roms and tinkering since my HTC MDA days, I just want a product that works out of the box I guess :)

Every review is the same.. so so on it. Return rate is high also. The few that love them, great, tinker away with yours. When I can read my 3rd party apps emails, pick from 100s and 100s of apps maybe Ill dig it. Till then its a beta toy as far as im concerned. i knew it when i got it just didnt expect it to be this crappy I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I'd like to know how many of the returned watches are due to either people not usually wearing a watch or because it wasn't compatible with their device

I've not had any of the problems mentioned here (mind, I didn't use watchstyler). Mic and speaker seem fine to me

Hardly any apps these days mention what has changed between versions so can't see that being a negative. Having to reset every time there is an update sucks though (however, the restore thing seems to go ok for the most part)

I just want my notifications to give more detail - mms to show pic, email to display html, sms/facebook/etc not be limited by character limit. It's all very possible going on the evidence

Couldn't care less about apps. Good to be able to sideload though
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
Even thinking all that you still went out and bought one.

I love mine.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OneGoodKnock:
I'm loving my gear but can also appreciate where the OP is coming from. In the main I think the gear lives up to its expectations ax far as I am concerned.

The biggest issue I have is the lack of water resistance, and how it handles facebook notifications. I am hoping though that this thing gets better as time moves along. It does worry me however that work on the Gear 2 will already have started and we will end up with a non supported device quite quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
The op in my opinion just wants to rubbish the gear in anyway possible whether it's true or not
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
you have to be blind to call Gear a decent product. they had a great idea, but the execution is terrible and you may disagree with that, but you are lying to yourself. this needs so much work to become a decent product.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] CehowardNote3:
After reading your post, I had to REGISTER to reply.. :fingers-crossed:

Seems like you got a beef with the apps. Not the phone. You keep talking about bad apps, or not enough apps. Well they were selling out in my area, and I got mine on discount. Found out they were selling fast on Ebay. Purchased a couple more at discount, sold them for a profit. It seems like a lot of people think differently than you. We all understand this is a FIRST, you didn't expect this to first run to be PERFECT did you...

BTW, I am a layman, don't know JACK-CHIT, to be honest. I got the Note 3 on a humble, and since I was way over my head with the Note 3, I might as well go all the way..Got the Gear at $209.. Happy Camper... :D

Hi,

After I unlocked the bootloader, I've never got a 4G signal on my phone, always H+. Under Network mode, it does show "GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto" but I've never got 4G since.

I do live in a 4G neighbourhood as I used to get 4G before I unlocked the bootloader to root.

Please help!

Dear Developers,

Today I flashed AIO MOD V6 for Motorola Razr i and i have the following issue.

Cant find my internal SD card when connected to Computer

When I press power button for other options like, Reboot, Shut down, Boot to recovery.... I dont get any options rather it boots back without giving me any options.

Please help me how to solve this issue... Thanks..........
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
I have searched the forums but cant find this problem (if it is one) posted anywhere.

Basically, I was in the middle of pairing my Exec with my PC when I noticed the the left soft key changed from "Phone" to "Notification"

Thinking that I had got an SMS or missed call (didnt hear anything) I hit the Notification soft-key.

However, nothing happened!! I tried several times... but still nothing.

I checked the Notification Queue using "Check Notifcations" and "Pocket Mechanic" and everything was fine... nothig unusual there.

Did a soft-reset but still the left soft key read "Notification" OMG :shock:

I am going to have to resort to doing a Hard Reset (which I am reluctant to do) unless someone can suggest something that I am missing. Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?

BTW the pairing completed successfully
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
The problem you are describing is normal. It is not a problem, the "notification" you see is an indication that your Universal is currently performing an avtive sync with your computer. So there is no need for a HARD reset. I often see that "notification" every 5 min, so long as my Universal is plugged-in my computer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rjanusz:
Hi,

I'm having exactly the same problem. And it persists even when my device isn't connected to computer. Mzaslam, have you find the solution?

Thx in advance,

Radek
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mzaslam:
No, unfortunately I wasnt able to get to the bottom of the problem. I opted for the easy way out - a hard reset. Thankfully, I didnt have much to lose in the way of sms or emails.

It wasnt related to an in-progress sync as cktlcmd had suggested. When the problem appeared, my phone wasnt even connected to my PC. I'm not sure if you have EXACTLY the same problem as I did. On my EXEC even when I clicked 'Notification' - nothing would happen. Is this what you are experiencing?

Have you tried doing a soft-reset? You might want to try and clear the Notification Queue - I didnt try that myself but I think its worth a go.

Sorry I cant be of more help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rjanusz:
My problem appeared during the normal using time, not when connecting to PC. I tried soft-reset (not once). And - nothing happens when I push the Notofication soft-key.

BUT, during the last night I did some investigation and finally found the source of my trouble. It was the SBSH iLauncher. When I disabled iLauncher, Notification disappeared. When I turned it on again, it appeared over the left soft-key, just like before. So, I think I have to change my launcher.

Thanks for your reply!

Cheers, Radek

EDIT: Cancel that, I uninstalled and reinstalled Touchless control from the Play Store and everything appears to be working!

I just got my phone rooted on the latest stock VZW build using rockmymoto. I had played around with the new 4.4 apk's and launcher, but decided to go back to Nova. I did have trouble with Google search force closing, so I replaced the velvet.apk in system\app and changed the permissions. I went through and did everything I could to get all the stock apps back. It looks like the velvet.apk in there now is correct. The only other thing I changed was the lib file that was supposed to fix the FCs, and recently installed the Xposed framework (no modules). Now when I attempt to search via Touchless Control, a.k.a. "OK Google Now", a small popup says "Opening Google Search", and nothing happens. Ideas?

Also, if I do a factory data reset, will I lose root (it's OK if I do), and/or will anything get messed up?

Eh. 4.3 won't see much change as far as the average user on XDA is concerned. If you want real up to date i'd be waiting for kitkat, til then im sticking with miui, which ironically is based on the sony 4.2.2 firmware atm.

I know it made the status bar and buttons transparent which is a nice effect. Nexus 5 like. Its silly to have the camera a swipe away when it is already a swipe away.

Actually first when I update through OTA I did not lose root, then I tried to install Honami camera and had to reinstall everything thru SUS and lost root.
