Today sees a really useful update to the Galaxy Gear.

BEFORE UPGRADING - Please note that V700XXUAMK7 will break exchange email notifications. At this point in time, no one knowns if it's intentional or not.

It provides:

- Full notifications for any app which can form status bar notifications

- Preset text message replies if you don't have time to write/voice one

- Rapid access to s-voice

- Better range between the phone/watch

- Better handling of notifications

- Better connection generally between the phone/watch

Your watch will need firmware: V700XXUAMK7

Phone software to version 1.5.111304

Couple of notes: I am using a UK (Mocha Grey) Gear with a UK Samsung Note 3 and the update was OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cvondra:
Is this the new 09 base? And where did you get the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbsshadow:
Just done mine , dont see a lot of difference ....................

Any ideas ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
OTA. Woke up and Note 3 said there was a firmware update: Version: V700XXUAMK7. It installed then wanted to update the phone software to version 1.5.111304. Reboot and bam

Did you update the software on your device as well, it's useless without. Make sure you turn on notifications and inside that box turn on 'Other notifications and select the software you want notifications from!

Here are some screenies
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbsshadow:
Done it now , the other notifications are brilliant !
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Caribian1978:
Latest .apk

Does anybody already have the latest .apk available, because of the samsung store region lock i have no access to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] PhilPan:
Are you getting full gmail now?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Looks like may need updated firmware to take advantage of extra notifications :(

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Yep, check the link in my sig
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Yes full Gmail! (And all my other apps) :D
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Caribian1978:
Thanks :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zelduy:
I already upgrade my galaxy manager to 1.5.111304 but my fw version in still V700XXUAMII

So still no complete notif for me... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Have you gone into 'Other notifications' and selected the apps you want notifications from?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zelduy:
Couldn't find any 'other notification'.. where is it supposed to be?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] big samm:
I still don't get the update on the gear... Maybe because im using a older version of GM that's compatible with my GS4 on 4.2.2?

Sent from my SGH-I337M
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] james33440:
I got the update notification and cancelled because I wanted to hear about what it consisted of first. Now, I want to try it but how do I get to check for an update manually?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sbsshadow:
You need to update both the GEAR and the PHONE for it to work .....................
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
+1!

Try a reboot? Or check the Samsung App store?

They roll things out over a frame of time..maybe yours will be with you soon...or it could be your software as you say. You will receive it eventually though...patience ;)

Here
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nccu_eagles:
updated the app but it says my gear is up to date. I've rebooted both still says my gear is up to date. I have the "moca" color, hope they aren't discriminating lol
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zelduy:
Confirmed no 'more notification' so I guess I need for the fw update..

Btw..to check update manually just click the gears name in GM and there's a check update there...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] james33440:
Mine is doing this as well. However, I had the notification of an update. Cancelled it, now says everything's up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] drmacrofish:
Wonder how long it will take to roll out everywhere? Still waiting for it here.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] nccu_eagles:
hold power button until you see the word "rebooting" then rapidly press power button until you see "recovery, download" etc then press power button to select "download" done...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 95SKY:
My gear manager has been updated but no firmware update for the GG in Australia :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maxipvp:
I've just manually updated my Gear to MK7 using Odin 1.85, it was a smooth ride, now I have extended notifications working with all the apps I want.

A couple of things:

- to reboot Gear into Download mode: choose reboot from Gear menu (button long press), then keep pressing button until "rebooting" shows up below Galaxy Gear logo. Now press button repeteadly until start mode menu appears, select Download mode from there.

- Update Gear Manager to version 1304, that's is the app on the phone, so if no OTA updates for it just get the apk available somewhere in this forum.

- No need to update phone firmware to latest to use all the features, but it's safe to do so.

- Exchange email is working for me, actually it's working even better than before! Delivered as usual and still with all the content ready to read on the watch. Also, now the notifications app is keeping all the messages with marks for the ones not open yet, and that's for every enabled app, pretty nice detail.

I was happy with my gear but with this improvements I'm really enjoying it. :victory:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
What CSC (region) is your Gear on? If it's EU then applying a ROM (BTU) from within the same selling region and not having problems might be why U.S. owners are having Exchange security issues with a EU ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] boarne71:
I have the latest and correct firmware and updates, yes i can read my gmail now and that is good, but i still cant see the entire mail :( would be great if we could read the entire mail in the gear... but i guess its a limit there.

Other then that this update should have been there from the start, but better late then never ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Gadgetlover0408:
Jonboyuk I don't see the option under my notification for more notifications it says both my phone and gear are updated and current. I'm US any ideas.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jaltman:
The firmware update is not yet available in the U.S. and is required for the new notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Onyok:
Hi, everyone!

I've forced the MK7 update using Odin 3.07 and it turned out well except after updating my Gear Manager to 1.5.111304 (phone*) I keep on seeing this image popped out thus I can't access the Gear Manager on my S4*. I've noticed when I revert to the old Gear Manager this doesn't show up. Is it manifesting itself because I've unrooted my phone?

Pardon me if this has been resolved before but I've been off the loop for a long time. :D

Help, guys! Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] OneGoodKnock:
I used to get this on my Note 2 when using Dr Ketans leaked 4.3 rom. I moved to Hurricane then to Dn3 Roms, they worked fine and I didn't get this message.

Try uninstalling the gear manager then do a re-install see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] quixin:
I have the same problem with my AT&T S4 on the Goldeneye 4.3 rom.

Please report if you find a solution. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] sincerity:
I don't get it...Verizon s4 ..I just installed The ota...check Gmail in notifications and nothing haplens. Only phone basically works on watch. Do I have to install Gmail app on phone? Can't find it if so...

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Update now it pops up...but says read on device ... can't read on watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] rishman1:
Thanks man! Perfect instructions. I haven't tried out the notifications yet, but the update worked!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Onyok:
Well, before reverting to the old version I've tried re-installing 1.5.111304 thrice but still no go. That's why I resorted into going back to the old version ... Yes, if anybody has succeeded... kindly post your solution. Appreciate it, guys!

Have a good weekend, everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cydonian66:
Hello all

I too got the lame US update. If I use the UK update, am I still able to revert back once the US gets the notifications update? Is this done by "reseting" the Gear?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] quixin:
I solved my problem of the updated manager not opening. It turned out that the rom I was using stripped out some of the stock samsung apks. I took a few wild stabs at which ones were needed that I didn't have. Here is the list of apk's that I added back into /system/app to get the manager to work after the update.

ContainerEventsRelayManager.apk

GearManagerStub.apk

Samsungservice.apk

SensorService2_5.apk

SimServicePermission.apk

I honestly do not know which one of these allowed the update to work and really dont care not that it is and I'm in business.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] roswell782:
I have manually updated with Odin. New notifications rocks !

My Gear is almost perfect, i still hope it will be possible to make it vibrate and sound at the same time. Yes same as a smartphone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
I manually updated my watch with Odin & let the software update itself (it gave me a notification saying it needed to be updated)

This has not given me the result I expected at all. As a matter of fact, every change it has made is bad.

I have the Verizon version. After the software updated, it said it was version 1.4.102802.

I flashed the Odin file V700XXUAMK7_V700OXA AMK7_BTU that was posted here to my watch.

Now, I don't see any of the extra notifications that people are showing here & I am still getting the same old "for details, view this notification on your mobile device" message from gmail.

What is really bugging me however is, I'm am getting these gmail notifications even though I have no boxes checked in gear manager for email or gmail notifications. I DON'T want email notifications on my watch, especially if they are going to be useless unreadable ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jantsu92:
OTA update is out for Finalnd with all application notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dscline:
I don't think you have the latest version. I'm on a (stock) AT&T GN3, my gear manager prompted me to update it, and it is now on 1.5.111304. Mine works as described in this thread. The only issue I had was updating the firmware. Turns out the cable I keep plugged in to my PC to charge my phone is apparently a charge only cable. Once I swapped cables, Odin was able to connect. But it took me about 15 minutes of messing around trying to figure out what was wrong... the watch gets surprisingly hot while plugged in in downloading mode. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
Yea, I finally got it working but what a PITA!!

You're right, the version it DL'ed this morning is like 2 versions behind (way to go Samsung) so I used the 1.5 APK that someone was kind enough to post in this thread.

I deleted the Gear Manager updates & tried to start fresh with 1.5. That eventually worked, but not before it froze up about 9 times in a row & required many battery pulls.

Now, it works super with full text from the actual gmail app which is awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Gadgetlover0408:
Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 67srbell:
Does anyone know why Samsung hasn't pushed the new firmware to the US and when they might actually do it??
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ITNV:
Is anyone else having trouble changing the text templates. I can change them in Gear Manager on the phone but the list of available quick messages on the watch doesn't change.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jmorton10:
Why wait for Samsung when you can get it right in this thread??

I'm in the US and it's working just fine for me (I was never able to get the ATN app to work, but the new Samsung app is working perfectly now).

Odin flash the firmware & install the Gear Manager APK.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Bladder61:
Live in the US. Thanks for all the posts. I upgraded the gear app on my phone to 1.5.111304, then I downloaded the MK7 rom and installed via Odin. The new notifications are great, it did break my exchange email with the built in Samsung program. I have a license for Touchdown so I installed that and it works great with my work exchange account. I use the built in email for my personal POP email, plus the upgraded GMail notification now sends most of the email body over to the gear.

I did notice after the install that my battery on the Gear was draining faster than before. I let it drain until almost empty, then powered off and charged it. Today after 8 hours and moderate use (3 short calls, dozen emails, and 8 texts) it is at 90%. I was getting about the same good performance before the upgrade. Overall very pleased with our Gear, I have given my Pebble to my teen daughter and can now do so much more with my watch and not worry about getting through a long day. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Hope this battery life improvement theory is correct. Unlike everyone else my battery life sucks.

ANYWAYS, install went buttery smooth and the new firmware is awesome, should have come out the box like this!

THANK YOU MY GOOD SIR FOR UPLOADING AND CONDENSING THIS ALL IN ONE POST!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dscline:
My guess would be so they can manage support workload. We are all essentially beta testers. If they unleashed new firmware everywhere at once, and had unknown issues with it, it would probably be too much load on their support group. Safer to phase it in in small groups.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
I have followed the process but in odin3 I keep getting stuck on setup connection. It doesn't go any further. I did reboot and selected download mode at that point it rebooted again. So I'm assuming I am in download mode. Odin does pick up the gear on Com4.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ITNV:
If I remember right, you get a different screen in Download Mode so I don't think you are getting into it. It was tricky getting into download mode and took me several tries. There are a couple of good posts in this thread with tips to get into download mode so you might want to search for them.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
Ok I'll try again. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
When selecting download mode, only hold it down for about 3 seconds. Any longer and it just turns the action into a normal reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Smith07:
And also I would like to:

1) have possibility to turn OFF camera sound, because is very loud and disturbing...

2) have FULL message body in Galaxy Gear

3) keyboard like on old phones example, so I can text and send a message...

Latest Gear Manager APK

I have tried to search for the latest Galaxy Gear Manager update on Samsung App Store, but cannot find it. I know it sounds strange, but it is true. Can someone kindly post the latest Galaxy Gear Manager apk version 1.5.111304. Thanks!

Btw, I am using a Note 2. My understanding is that for all the Gear functions to work properly on Note 2, I will need to get the Android 4.3.1 update as well. It has been announced, but has not been rolled out yet...

Will keep you posted

Tested the new update all day today. All my notifications shows up fantastic. Email doesn't show everything but I only want partially so that works out great for me. Text msg from chompsms shows good. Whatsapp works flawlessly.

Anybody noticed the battery life improvement? I got a whole lots of notifications and end of the day still have 50%. Impressive.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cydonian66:
Someone please answer me :( Maybe it's stupid of me to ask, but if I install the UK update, can I revert back to the US version without any issues if they decide to update it? Also, how will we know that they updated the US version if we're all on the UK one?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tazzix:
I was able to do it using a Mac running Mavericks. Not straight forward but doable.

- Uninstall Kies or unload the kexts, err uninstall is easier ;)

- Install "Heimdall" not the comic ofcourse, you can search for Heimdall 1.40 Samsung ODIN on google and probably get it.

- Rename the extracted .tar.md5 to .tar

- Extract it and get (sboot.bin, boot.bin, cache.bin, recovery.bin, and system.bin)

- Launch heimdall-frontend from applications or spotlight

- Utilities -> detect

- Utilities -> PIT -> Download

- Flash -> PIT -> browse and load the file

- Partition -> Add (Each for BOOTLOADER (sboot.bin), CACHE (cache.bin), ..... for all 5

- START

- Wait and do not touch anything, you will see messages in the window.

Worked for me but your mileage may wary, I will not be responsible for a bricked device.

EDIT: Of course the gear has to be connected via USB in DOWNLOAD mode for Heimdall to even detect it. Those instructions are everywhere.

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

I think it uses the phone's region to update because none of the about / info screens on the watch or via Gear Manager show the region code. If the serial number has anything to do with it, or its the phone region then in any case you will only get the update when the US region has a higher version number than the currently installed. But as already the phone's language setting is used, I do not know why you would worry about the region of the software on the Gear.

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

I think it has some syncing delay or update on reconnect something, because I checked immediately after making the change and it did not came up, hours later it was right there. Very strange that no option was a simple, OK, Acknowledged or similar message which is what I reply 90% of the time and used when Sony's SmartWatch only had a single reply option. Once it read "Acknowledged from watch" so people could understand even if it was not the best reply for their message ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] philly fan:
Love this software update

This has just made this watch THAT WORK !!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cydonian66:
Thanks for your help. I went ahead and updated it :) It's great!

i went ahead and updated mine thru Odin, i noticed that the sounds I have installed thru mobile go is still there. I love the new notifications too! :good::good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cydonian66:
Anyone having issues with S Voice on the watch? I've had this even BEFORE the update, so the update didn't break it. After I tap the icon, it gets stuck on "Connecting" and then says Connection failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] roswell782:
S'voice works fine here but that's faster to use in wifi than in mobile data.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tazzix:
It uses the phone's data connection, just make sure you have 3G, LTE, or Wifi working.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dscline:
Oh please, it's not intended as a negative comment. I didn't slap your mother, so don't be such a defensive fanboy. :rolleyes: It is widely known that Samsung rushed this to market to be first, even Samsung has essentially acknowledged as much. It was a business decision, and nothing wrong with that. Personally, I like the watch, I'm not knocking it. But it it's quite clear that it was released a bit early in the development cycle. If it weren't, it would have had the functionality included in this update on release day. This has significantly increased it's usefulness, I'm very happy with the update. Although it will be interesting to see how many of the reviews get updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
It is without doubt a rushed product - let's not forget the continual battle between Samsung and well known rivals. I happen to love this device, but I'm still aware that the Gear 2 (early 2014) with GPS/4Gb memory is going to be immediately superior in hardware and software terms.

I shan't complain - my Gear was free with the Note 3!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
That's what is was. I was holding it to long. Now I'm in download mode but its failing. It hangs on setup connection then it fails. I am trying this on windows 8. I'll try on a windows 7 machine see if it makes a difference.

Disregard. USB debugging wasn't checked. All is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] calinormy:
You don't have Bluetooth enabled......
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maxipvp:
Hi Barry, well, I'm not sure which CS is the Gear, I've bought it from Amazon USA before USA launch so it could be EU, is there any way to check it? My GN3 is Korean, not carrier locked, i mean, free from Samsung lock, that could be why Exchange is working?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Someone in the Exchange thread decompiled Gear Manager and they added code in 1.5 that checks the CSC of the phone and if it's U.S. blocks the display of e-mail content on the Gear. So the CSC and ROM running on the Gear doesn't make a difference. So unless Samsung releases an updated version of Gear Manager when they finally update the ROM on U.S Gear's those of us on Exchange with U.S. phones are screwed and stuck on MII/1.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mr Ian B:
I don't use tweeter or Facebook but are those notifications working w the latest update and showing content in Gear? This was a concern for a lot of people along w gmail.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonboyuk:
Everything that can notify on the phone's status bar, can be displayed on the watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] spinkick:
Does anyone else using hangouts get the "please view on device" message on their phone? I was hoping this update would update for it to display on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hhadrian:
I disagree it really annoys me listening to people like you always adding in a snide comment and what's worse there never ever original just following the media.What smartphone ever comes out without needing updates you except that. Samsung brings out a new product that needs tinkering with and some how it's ok to kick it to pieces.It may not be intended as a negative comment but it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ritize:
I was able to update my Gear to MK7 and I am able to see my text messages but not gmail. However I do not have other notifications as seen in the picture and motions on the gear is greyed although it is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Andrewtst:
Make sure you updates your GEAR Manager at phone as well.
