Hi all.. Been searching for an answer here but can't find someone with a similar problem.

AT&T Note3 Rooted. Updated to lastest UK ROM on the watch.

Gearmanager pre 1.5.111304 (downloaded from APK online) works fine

Updated to Gearmanger 1.5.111304 through the Samsung store and now I get the error:

"Unable to connect to the Gear. Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated. Check that your mobile device us able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software."

I have reset the Gear, and done a few uninstalls and re-installs and reboots.

I have a bunch of stopped apps and disabled services, but I've been turning them all back on to no avail.

Any thoughts here?

Thanks!

Spoke too soon. Had to download the GearManagerStub.apk independently and install. Works great now. Phew!

New Update to Gear Manager

The Gear Manager is update for me in USA Las Vegas. See link on first page of Samsung Galaxy Gear: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2566140

See my posts there. I don't have the version the OP listed, but the one that I did get from Samsung Apps Store now works with original email app that came with my Note 3 AT&T. I get the proper subject and notifications text to the watch. So far without and duplicates or stacking or emails into one notifications, as was happening after I installed the "stock android email app". Good news hopefully for all in USA!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] scassel:
Worked for me. Everything works again as it did. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] edsol:
hi, I have updated my galaxy gear manager as well as my galaxy gear itself. I can now receive notification from 3rd party messaging like chompsms but I can't see the content. Just 1 unread message... show on device. Would you care share to me how did you make chompsms really work where you can read the content of the message right from the gear. Thanks so much

Wiped My Internal Storage!

Please help!!! I have TWRP recovery, no backups and no OS on my Galaxy Gear! Can I flash the same stock tar file with odin and get my **** Tracy watch back? This is the worse thing I've done in years of flashing! Please please help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Yes, if it says no os, simply flash stock via odin
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
There is also a safety assistant setting. Looks like Samsung have a few more things up their sleeve :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AstroDigital:
Got the phone app update.

Says my Gear has the latest firmware, .... just wait it out I guess it may not be rolling out everywhere at once.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] newdps:
In spain don't have the notification of an update (Gear) ... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Gear apk is in link in my sig

Firmware is in firmware thread
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] AstroDigital:
Yes may manual update the Firmware, can not do it until I see the goofy cradle again.

Meanwhile I can wait, using Gear Getter and already have full notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skizzy034:
Anyone with the AT&T Note 3 get the update for this?

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 AM ----------

When you say update the software on your device do you mean the Gear Manager or the actual Note 3 firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big samm:
Thanks but i think if i install the latest GM it will not work on my GS4... Because im not on 4.3...

Sent from my SGH-I337M
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
Whoa! You guys see this?? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Skizzy034:
Well it seems like the US still hasn't gotten the update yet. Figures. I don't understand why. It's not based on carriers right? Just because I bought this at ATT doesn't mean the updates go through them. I'm just gonna flash the UK most recent FW. Is it the 09?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] newdps:
Brendo, where is the Firmware thead? I only localize the stock Roms collection but I don't see the V700XXUAMJ9

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aimfire72:
Yeah, I'm in US, no updates here either. I just downloaded and installed the new UK version: V700XXUAMK7
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Pretty sure I'm about to sell my Pebble now this does nearly everything...

However, I may move to Nexus 5 so will see how much still works. And as much as I want Tasker integration, I discovered I currently don't use it as often as I thought (then again, most of the stuff happens in the background anyway)

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
I just got the update, and i live in the US. Gmail still does not get full notifications there are some slight changes but non like what is posted :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Are you sure then that you have the same update??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Honestly guys, it's just a matter of time (I was obviously lucky). At least you know it's coming soon!! Just wait and you will get the updates.

I've just tested it with whatsapp/spotify and it works fine! The emergency thing was in the last release by the way :)

Again the firmware also fixes issues with disconnects and the like...it feels so much better now!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] boarne71:
I made the update on my note3 (it was around 177Mb) and installed the 1.5xx gear manager and i still cant see any other info in my galaxy gear other then i got gmail... all the notifications behaves the same as before, so i wonder where that big change is ? Have rebooted several times etc..

Was so happy that finally samsung fixed their stupid limitations, but nothing :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
Screen shot of gmail?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] re-2007:
l make update to new gear manager ad now don't have any notifications with Gear Getter ( my gear still with old rom V700XXUAMII)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Okay. Will someone please give us a rundown of exactly what has been updated and improved?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] re-2007:
if you mean gear manager yes but i still have old rom V700XXUAMII for gear:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
Yeah, its nothing like this :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Check my first post, I've updated it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big samm:
Look at the pictures you will see the changes... When you go in notification now you have lots more apps to choose from, and the op also said it fixes connectivity problems and works better...

Sent from my SGH-I337M
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
What version of the ROM for the gear is everyone using? I was going to try the UK but I don't find the V700XXUAMJ9 version, But I find it for other country's, Does it really matter?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Thank you.

So, anyone in The US get it??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Doubter! Tsk. Gmail and whatsapp. You can see FB messenger in there too.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
How is it working for you?

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

Yeah, it looks like we need the firmware update to get all the neat changes. I have updated the gear manager and still get weak notifications
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
So what version can we install on the US watch that is safe? What is the version number.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Check out this POST it for the UK version (Newest Version out of them ALL (Above J9 version) (Safe for USA people Downloading now for me, T-Mobile USA)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47477859&postcount=23

OS Version: 4.2.2

Build Date: 13.11.2013

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
^^ does this work with the US versions of the gear manager. Better to ask the be sorry lol - nm I just saw the top part....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
What are you on about, that's the one I've posted on page 1 - V700XXUAMK7?!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
The U.S is now two updates behind. Just download MK7 from Samsung-Updates or the firmware list on the front page. It's a 280MB files so it only takes 20 minutes to download. Use any version of Odin to install it. Put the Gear in download mode by long pressing the power button until it says "rebooting" and then press it again a couple of times until the download menu comes up. Select "download mode" by pressing the button to highlight it. Long press the button to select it. With the Gear in download mode, connect it to your PC and open Odin. Take the .MD5 file you extracted from the downloaded MK7 .zip and put it in "PDA" in Odin and then click start. You should be done in about 5 minutes and your Gear will restart. When it does, unplug it from the USB cable. There's no downside to using another region's f/w on your Gear and the update process doesn't wipe your Gear's data or settings. I don't think Gear's are different h/w wise regionally so you can repeat the above process when an update gets pushed, even if it's for another region, to always keep your Gear on the latest f/w.

In addition to the notification stuff, Samsung's added the ability to "go to the last page" under "Motion" so when you bring your wrist up it returns to what you're doing rather than defaulting to the home page (clock). You can also customize the S Reply messages you can send when you're on a call or responding to a text.

The Gear feels snappier after the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
I posted that as people think J9 is a higher version. Thats all.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
I had that feature in the previous firmware ;) It's not new to this but if you guys in the US are two behind then you might not have had this yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Hahaha no worries :) Sorry!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
It seems they always forget about the US. I just talked and samsung and they wont even say if we are getting an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbarresi19:
Would it matter if my phone was rooted with custom recovery? I won't get the update will I? Would I just have to Odin it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Your not updating the ROM on your Phone, Just the Gear APP, and then Updating the ROM on the Gear. The app should auto update if not uninstall and download the new gear manager.apk and install, then download then new gear rom and update via odin.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbarresi19:
I have Null custom rom running on my gear....I did get the update through gear manager though....so now I'm wondering if I should reset gear to custom or not. I also can't connect to wondershare (I believe that's what it is called) to side load apps
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
You have two options, load the new rom to replace the custom null and then install the null back ontop of the new rom, or wait until null releases the new version.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
Worked great! Thanks! The download was 208 MB and If you use Odin 3.09 put in AP slot.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
New UK Rom installed on USA Gear and working 100%. WOW I LOVE THE NEW NOTIFICATIONS. You would almost think they stole ATN Manager and upgraded it, Or maybe sepiroth887 went to work for them. It looks and feels just like what he was trying to create for us. Way to got Samsung. A+++ :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
Under setting about Gear its blank, I wanted to turn USB debug on. Is this missing for anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Go to About and tap Software Version like five time and it will come back!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PRTEQ:
+1. I notice the same thing but its still on because I just side load som apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
Guess i have some home work to do tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
I just did also :) Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jnrandall:
Thanks jonboyuk! Worked like a charm.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
What about root? Looks like I lost it. I side loaded supersu and it doesn't seem to be working. Can we just re-root with the current method posted?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
Is it as simple as just installing the Apk. to the gear?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Yes just like you did before. Works like a charm on new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MaTtKs:
So if I'm already using Gear Getter and have full notifications for all of the apps I want, would there be any use to downloading the new update? I'd rather not have to set the watch up again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Anyone in the US get it yet????
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
Just the gear manager update but not the firmware which is needed for all the changes. This would make 2 updates the US has not gotten....

Way to go sammmy
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xSi13ntx:
These are "true" notifications, meaning the icon is proper for the notifying application, and the "Show On Device" button actually opens the correct app on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Look at earlier posts. I have the USA version (I Live in Las Vegas got it from Best buy) And loaded the UK ROM onto it NO ISSUES.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OneGoodKnock:
Loving the new ROM and gear manager. The notifications are brilliant and really as they should have been at launch.

The GG is now starting to be very useful now. Well done Samsung!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
I mean non-rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] raiu:
makes me wish i had my charging cradle with me at work :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
You do not need to be rooted for the update (Not phone or gear), just use odin for the update to the gear (Search for odin if your unsure on how to use it)

Aw so glad I work from home :p (Well break is over back to work!)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] archerks:
Email messages not showing!!!

My email exchange accounts which use to work with previous version now come up with the following message......

The content of this email cannot be shown on the Gear for security reasons. For details, view this email on your mobile device
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koy168hk:
after update to V700XXUAMK7,

successful display the same notification function!!!

Great and Thanks for Sharing.

Now can display Whatsapp, Line, and whatever app you want!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] doeboy7177:
Same issue for email

I had the same email issue this makes the update useless maybe because it is a uk rom? Anyone get the US update?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Pleasure :) And yea, it's most certainly what we've all been waiting for....I wonder what's next.

I do have issues with notifications not being pushes still though sometimes! Still, it's what everyone wanted most.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dave0812:
I get to the download mode screen but I xant get it select download?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
I keep getting a FAIL message from ODIN. I have followed the directions to get the Gear in Download Mode, have USB DeBugging on and it will connect, but when I start, it just shows that it is setting up the connection and then fails after a few minutes. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] koy168hk:
No need to select anything, and you cant.

just use Odin via computer, put the file in PDA and click start, its will download the NEW version into your Gear, after finished, it will auto reboot.

Then you can enjoy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
I'm US and got the gear manager update but says watch firmware is up to date.

I think these two being a mismatch is breaking a few of the built in notifications, for instance exchange mail notifications are now blank (not the "Read on Phone" message that some others are reporting, but just blank).

Samsung, fix your update servers please....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
press the power button once, that will move the selection, once on the correct selection, press and hold the power button for 3 sec. that selects it and goes into download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mahtan Tasadur:
Got the Gear Manager update, it wiped all my sideload apps. :(

Oh well. Odd thing now is when I try to check for an update for my Gear, I get the message, "Failed to check the Gears Status"

I got the US Version on Verizon. Anyone else with this or similar issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Action B:
I was so mad because i got an update on my phones software and when it was done it made me "restore" my watch. Now the email notification doesn't show the preview of the email any longer on my watch. So I am assuming that is because I didn't get pushed the OTA for my watch.

I wonder if it wasn't pushed through my phone because it is rooted and has a custom recovery....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Exactly the same for me..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Action B:
Is your phone rooted/custom recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Phone is stock rooted, gear is stock, but I have not seen anyone in the US that has gotten the watch firmware update, only the gear manager update.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Action B:
Hopefully its going to push soon. I was so confused i wiped the entire app and restored the watch, wiped phones cache/dalvik and re-paired them just to end up with the same result.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Onyok:
Mine did same "Failed to check the Gears Status". Actually, it won't let me get to that. When I installed the update via MobileGo then that message popped out. Next thing it's unable to connect to my Gear. Tried countless times, but still no luck here... So, i've just reverted to the original... fwiw, have rooted my gear.

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mahtan Tasadur:
I'm all stock on both devices. I fixed it after restarting about five times. Now everything is connected and I just restored all my apps on Wondershare. I had to reinstall Gear Getter to get all my notifications normal again. Going to try to manually update to the UK version to see if this make this update smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] polstein:
I had the same 'failed to check' message after updating Gear Manager. I rebooted phone & gear & it went through ok. Now I'm checking every hour for an update (USA) with no luck. Cradle is at home or I'd be digging up the step-by-step for Odin install. I did download the UK firmware, so ready to go when I get home I guess.. Would rather do the OTA update to avoid risk of me doing something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dave0812:
I updated everything and I now I dont get any notification on my gear when I have my exchange emails come in.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Action B:
I'm checking for US update too. nothing yet. I do get what appears to be a valid check for firmware OTA but it says my watch is on newest version.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chowdarygm:
got the update in Germany also but missing the 'more notifications' section. only Notifications section added for Gear specific apps :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
That's so strange. I wonder why UK first?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chowdarygm:
go to Gear manager > Notifications and see if Mail is checked
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jcurran.jc:
Peeps I thought I didn't have the update. But if you actually go into the Samsung app store and click on gear manager. There will be an update.

That's the step I was missing.

I now have the more notifications setting

Pretty sick
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dave0812:
It is

I set to backup my Gear every night, so it restored all settings as soon as it updated. good feature to use from now
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dave0812:
Check that I went into email settings on the email app and switched my notification to a actual sound instead of silent. It is working now. But I'm getting the notification of can't check it because of security probably because mine is password locked
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
Did you still install the UK version?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] MasterShakeMan:
Glad I read this stuff...

I was about to update for better notifications but I think Ill just install ATN..

I have null_08 or 7 (whichever is newer.) and I think the problem is tryin to update your Gears firmware when It has a custom ROM or root. You would have to flash the Original software V7 software THEN do the update. it wont update on these modded watches. \

It might be too late for some of you but I would recommend installing the previous version of the gearmanager.apk

and if your ROM'd then go for ATN (allthenotifications) - its just an apk for your phone. no gear adjustments. You might also have to wait for the Original firmware files to come out so you can flash back (ha) to the (future) stock system and upgrade after once your "legit"

...i think
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
New apk works fine with old firmware. There is a thread here for stock firmware - you can either flash latest, or flash older and try get ota

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] avenging:
I'm happy for you guys the gear just got more awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Amdathlonuk:
This is an excellent update.

I was rooted running Null 7.

However, this update dispenses with having to use ATN and other 3rd party software.

It shows the message sender in the preview screen for Exchange messages

When you click into the emails it lists each email and each new mail has an N in a box next to it to show it is unread.

Looking forward to future updates.

I suppose what we should take from this is that Samsung are not idly sitting doing nothing, there's lot's going on in the background :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SAVJR:
I installed the update from the Samsung App Store (Verizon US), but I still do not have the "notification" button. Likewise, I am not able install the UK firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Got the gear manager update this morning and just flashed the watch firmware with odin.

Getting the same thing with exchange email telling me to view it on the phone. Very strange... I know for a fact I have no pin requirement on my exchange account, since our admin changed it for me when I got the gear.

Gotta be another reason. Maybe someone could decompile it on the watch and see why it is doing this.

Haha, look like I'll be using my app Gear Getter, which sends things to the email notifications, to actually just send email notifications to the email notification. WUT?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jbarresi19:
Will I be able to get the Gear software update through ota if I'm rooted on nulls rom? I got gear manager updated but keeps showing gear is on latest firmware. I'm in USA
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mhoepfin:
Speaker on the gear seems to be louder now after the update....

Was hoping for some more SVoice actions but they are the same.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

You should probably just update your watch with ODIN. It was pretty painless.

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

I get a message saying that it can't show the message for security reasons. Are you actually connected to exchange with your email app?
