[Samsung Galaxy Gear] droidshadow:
can't setup connection with gear + phone on tablet talk

hey guys so i just installed tablet talk on my galaxy gear

Now in settings on my galaxy gear in tablet talk i switch the device from phone to tablet, however i am having trouble connecting my galaxy gear to my phone in tablet talk.

I have discovery running on my phone but when it tells me to pick my phone on the galaxy gear in tablet talk i can't scroll down to select the phone.

Can someone here tell me how exactly they setup their galaxy gear with tablet talk on their watch?...

I could really use some detailed steps...

Thanks again everyone!

did you ever figure out how to connect the device i am having the same problem!

Hey brother i figured it out! Okay so here is what you do...

STEPS TO SETTING UP TABLET TALK ON YOUR PHONE AND GALAXY GEAR SMART WATCH:

Step 1: Purchase and install the tablet talk app on the google play store and install it on your phone that you pair with your galaxy gear watch. The app will cost $2.99

Step 2: Setup the app tablet talk on your phone just follow the instructions and use all default install options.

Step 3. On your phone setup tablet talk to use bluetooth as it connection type and change the password to something simple.

Step 4. You need to download the tablet talk apk file and push it to your phone. You can download the apk file for tablet talk by using a chrome web browser extension called

"apk downloader"

. You can get the chrome web browser extension "apk downloader" here -> http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ follow the instructions on setting up apk downloader and then go to the google play store on your web browser and search for tablet talk, make sure you are logged in with the same account you purchased tablet talk on your phone with. Once the webpage tablet talk comes up on the google play store (on your pc web browser) hit the button to download the app to your phone, don't worry if you already have it installed. When you hit the install button the apk downloader icon will appear in your chrome web browser on the top right hand corner and hit the button to download the apk file. If you don't want to do this you can get the apk file from your phone that you installed tablet talk on it is in /system/app and the name of the apk file is "com.apdroid.tabtalk.apk".

You can push this file to your galaxy gear by using adb push or wondershare. Make sure it goes to your /sdcard on you galaxy gear. If you want to use adb shell then run this command "adb devices" to first verify that your watch is connected to adb. Then run "adb push C:\com.apdroid.tabtalk.apk /sdcard". If you don't feel comfortable with adb then just use wondershare.

Once the tablet talk apk file is on your galaxy gear watch just install it like regular. Make sure you have the install option "install from unknown sources" selected on your galaxy gear watch and on your gear manager.

Step 5. Okay so now that you have tablet talk installed on your galaxy gear load up tablet talk on your phone and hit discovery on, this will search via bluetooth for a device to connect to your phone with tablet talk.

Step 6. In order to connect your galaxy gear with tablet talk you need to edit a few settings. On galaxy gear change the device type from phone to tablet. Also change your password to whatever you used on your phone with galaxy gear. Exit settings. Once that is setup and you run discovery on tablet talk on your phone go back to tablet talk and go into settings. Look for settings it will be on the right hand corner, there is no button just a blank space but you will find it, from settings -> setup -> from setup go to "paired phone". You should see your phone that is running tablet talk as an available option to select. Once you select it you should see all of your text messages magically sync onto your galaxy gear!

Congratulations you now have tablet talk on your galaxy gear and you can now type text messages on the world's smallest keyboard and you don't have to use S-Voice for text messages!

Once the text messages get synced has anyone been able to scroll down to view all text messages? I am still having issues with scrolling down to see the text messages at the bottom of the list. Anyone have any ideas on how to do that?...

Or should I just delete all text messages and just use tablet talk when i need to type a text instead of using S-Voice?...

I hope this has been helpful...
