Hi ,

Otherwise please help me in Connecting Gear 2 with iPhone. In both the iPhone and Oppo Reno I am able to pair and make/receive phone calls. I am not able to access any other features of my Gear 2. Please please please help.

I scored a refurbished unit at Best Buy during their $99 sale event and wanted to get it working with my Motorola Droid MAXX. Following your simple instructions of installing Stub.apk in system/apps first and then installing each individual APK before installing Manager worked great!!!

I can confirm that my everything (except weather&s-voice) works perfect on my gear and using Gear Manager!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jonahy:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] soccertolive:
I am on the latest firmware on the Gear and using v1.7.031004 Manager (http://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager). When installing Gear Manager, make sure to install prerequisites (GearManagerStub and all apps in "Extracted" folder) before installing Gear Manager. Reboot phone then connect Gear to phone.

Is Gear Manager stub required for 1.7? I think my 1.7 is working without it on my Nexus 5?

For some reason settings appears to be missing from my 1.7, I'm not sure if something went wrong or if it's just not there anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] cobyman7035:
can u get gearmanager v1.6xx to work on the nexus 5? i CANNOT do it lol, tried 100x times

only 1.7xxx worked for me ( connected)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] waxlabo:
What happens when you use 1.6xxx? It works fine for me. The only problem I had one time was it kept trying to restore but I got around that by deleting the restore directory from the root of my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hobbiwan:
Hi,

Do we need to have SamsungApps installed for this Gear Manager to work?

On my Galaxy S2, GM closes on the first screen when I select my watch (already paired).

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
No, just the gearmanagerstub. Try another version. And make sure you have android 4.3 or higher
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ash99:
I thought you needed Gear stub manager for non touchwiz interfaces? Ie Nexus 5
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Before 4.3, touchwiz devices didn't have it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ash99:
OK, so just to be clear OS 4.3 and above don't need it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Oh, they do. Its already included in 4.3+ stock roms

Version 2.0.14040401 of Gear Manager now being downloaded on my GS4 from the Samsung App store.

*Update* Once installed and run for the first time it downloads some 'Additional Software'. I also allowed it to install a backup of my settings from earlier today. Now shows as version 1.7.040401 under settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ash99:
Gear Manager has disappeared from the Samsung Store for me. Using the leaked S5 app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] :
Seems like it is renamed to gear fit manager, because the install button say's "update".

That seems to update Gear Fit manager which isn't able to connect to my note 3. I still have the application" Gear manager" installed.

I have deleted everything and still fear fit manager isn't able to connect.

My gear manager just updated to 1.7.040401. It appears Fit Manager and Fitness for Gear are separate apps that now integrate with the new version of Gear Manager for use with Gear 2.

After updating the gear manager to 1.7.040401, notifications and messages apps are gone. The email app in app panel now shows notification count. I also noticed when I get a new email, there is a new pop up notification that I have never seen before.

Is this the new Gear Manager that is suppose to release on the 11th when the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Fit are officially on the market. The update that gets the Gear 2 Neo connecting with the Note 3?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I'm pretty sure, yes
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ash99:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] azpatterson3:
Thanks Brendo! Updated Gear 2 Neo firmware and installed the latest Gear Manager (replaced the s5 one I was using). It's working great! I couldn't find Gear Manager in Samsung Apps so used your download.

Peace.

I installed the latest v2 over the last v1.6 and it installed fine. However, Samsung apps still wants to update it to gear fit manager

Had fc on samsung accessory

Needed to cancel reconnect first time, used restore instead of reset (still removed sideloaded apps though)

App reports still reporting as v1.7 instead of v2.0 like in application settings

Would be interesting to know how it goes being installed on non touchwiz. Gearmanagerstub has not been updated

Still looks like the old gear manager and will still check for firmware updates if running null

Doesn't seem to autoconnect as quickly as it used to

Vibration also seems much stronger...or is that just me???
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Antdawgs:
using note 3 with original galaxy gear

So this is what I've noticed. I have original galaxy gear and when updating gear manager 2.0, my gear still only shows 1.7

So after some snooping In the task manager I found a gear plug in for 1.7 and a gear 2 plugin for 2.0. In other words we (early adopters ) or original gear didn't get anything from updating gear manager. I wonder if we'll get tizen, how and when. Kind of sucks that we're left out in the cold. Please let me know if I'm right or any other info out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] SimMasterIbra:
It looks like on the new gear manager you can't add new apps to touchwiz launcher with this method:

Hi

I have installed gear manager on my s3 and work very well. Now i buy a gear fit but gear manager doesn't pair it.

So i download gear fit manager apk but closes and don't work

Someone have a solution?

I mount a cm11

Thanx
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Well mine asked to do the Auto Update on my S4 and now I can't even connect the gear to gear manager. It actually locked up my phone once when trying to connect and I had to do a battery pull.

Booooo Samsung! I'm pissed! :mad:

Edit, On 4th try and 2nd reboot it finally connected. Geez
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] waxlabo:
I have the same problem, i don't think it is gear manager. I think it is the NA6 firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Samsung apps now delivers correct gear manager as update instead of gear fit manager it was wanting to update to

I can't say I've had any issues with the latest version other than initial repair taking a long time
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] droidshadow:
Does anyone happen to know if Gear Manager version 1.5.123002 blocks exchange emails?

I have tried enabling email in gear manager under "more notifications" and I have also enabled gmail under "more notifications" but for whatever reason I am still not getting email alerts under "notifications" on my galaxy gear watch running on Null 21 ROM.

Should I try updating to 1.6.13 the version that has unblocked exchange emails?

-droidshadow
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Trial and error. I have had versions that work for me that haven't for others....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] droidshadow:
email exchanges working...

Ya i actually just got email notifications working. So we can confirm that 1.5.123002 does not block email exchanges in the US.

I am trying to see if i can get Tapatalk Notifications working on the galaxy gear. I will let everyone know if i in fact do get Tapatalk notifications working.

EDIT UPDATE:

Tapatalk notifications confirmed working! -> Gear Manager 1.5.123002 on Null 21.

-droidshadow
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I think in op I have a couple notes of different versions. Last 1.6 and current 1.7 both give me exchange emails instance (however not in us which seems be main issue)

Anything that gives notifications should work

"Parse Error"

I've been trying to get the Gear 2 Neo to work with my HTC One M8.

I managed to get the G2N to connect to the HTC M8, using Gear Manager 1.7.031004 / 2.0.14031004; and they both get along quite well.

Most of the features work (including notifications, phone calls); aside from TouchWiz-related features & apps like S-Health not working due to the lack of TouchWiz apps on the HTC M8.

However, when I try to use the newest Galaxy Manager 1.7.040401/2.0.14040401, I kept getting this "Parse Error" issue! I've redownloaded it from MediaFire, can't seem to get past this error. This shows up right before I can pair the phone with the G2N.

Any clue?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ray1204:
I have the same problem with my HTC one M7.

Let me know if you have found a solution. As for now I'm on the older version of gear manager also.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I'll have to check on this parsing error. It should just work. My brother has my n5, so i'll grab that off him and test. Last time parse errors occurred was because of using pre 4.3 rom
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] idle0095:
I get the same errors. How ever using gear manager 2.0.14031004 works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] twin snakes:
please help, i cannot connect the gear fit with my Z ultra

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mattx94:
if you have Gear Fit Manager: v1.49.0409?

with this version, the first connection to be made with a samsung phone, because the gear fit must update. After the update also be able to connect to the Sony .. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] twin snakes:
yes, i have 1.49.0409 in the first post

so, i have to find a samsung (4.0) device to make first connection and update, then i can use it with my sony?

Many thanks man!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Mattx94:

I FINALLY got a more recent version of Gear Manager to work with my watch. Tested, retested, rebooted several times, wiped once or twice, and everything FINALLY works beyond 1.2.131013 (still keeping that apk it just in case it fails).

You can actually do this yourself :)

Just open the apk in your favourite zip program (I use 7zip) and then browse to assets\preinstallapks

how did you do guys to get the notifications working without ATNManager ! Would really appreciate if someone could help :(
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hidea:
I'm sorry to tell you, there's nothing that at least I did in particular to get it to work. It just worked right away. It could be a thing with the ROM you're on?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] titi974:
so you're telling me that you did nothing but put gearmanagerstub in system/app, install the preinstall apk of latest GM of this thread and then install GM and it worked !? with native notifications !?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hidea:
I should probably clarify that I'm using the new Gear Manager for G2N. And I didn't have to tinker with GearManagerStub whatsoever.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] titi974:
hum... but what version of GM are you using then ?

Ok, I'm a little bit baffled at what is going on with my setup. I only have the Original Gear and my Samsung GS4.

My GM just updated to 2.0.14041404 :eek: Isn't that the one that is supposed to be for Gear 2 only?

Had the normal issue after a GM update at getting re-connected initially but otherwise, all seems well.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bballengphd:
I also updated my GM to the latest. I have the original GG and Note 2 on Skynote air ROM. I think the newer GM has more compatibility with more devices, and of course it will be compatible with both original GG and Gear2. I did notice that in my GM on my phone, it refers to my GG as Gear1, so I'd assume thats how GM distinguishes the 2 versions of gear, gear1 and gear2.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] djskipellis:
Well you give me instructions on how to go back to 401 . The version that I got today is no good.locks my phone up and I am not receiving any notifications. the version on mine says 1.7.041404

Can someone give me instructions on how to go back to v1.7.041401? 404 is no good, phone is locked up and gear no longer works. I downloaded what you said was both combined 1.7 and 2.0 in same apk. Won't let me install it. Thank you for all your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I believe Gear Manager installs as a system app? Either try in Settings/Apps to Uninstall Updates OR manually remove with TIBU or similar program, reboot and then install desired Gear Manager version.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] djskipellis:
New gear manager

Unfortunately that didn't work. It keeps taking me to 404 after I install 401. Can't stop it from doing that. "Your software needs to be updated " and I can't cancel it. I can't stand this. Oh well maybe after enough people see this update is crap there will be a solution. I hope anyways...Thank you for helping sir.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

I see why I am not getting notifications...its gone now. Wow....easy to go Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bballengphd:
Not sure whether your device is on custom rom would make any difference as to these issues. But my note 2 is on Skynote 4.3, and after I updated to GM 2.0 yesterday through the official samsung link, I was having problems on my gear1, so I uninstalled GM 2.0 through app manager in Settings, and reinstalled 1.6 without reboot. After I sorted my gear1 problems, I did another uninstall of 1.6 and reinstalled 2.0 with the apk downloaded from here (Thanks Brendo!), again no reboot. Resetted my gear1 and everything is working fine.

[MENTION=5672157]djskipellis[/MENTION]: this maybe a noob suggestion or you may have already tried this, but when you see "your software needs to be updated" and no option to cancel it, did you try to click the back button? I have ran into that msg numerous times, sometimes I'd hit the back button to cancel, sometimes I just hit the home button to leave the app, and go back in.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] djskipellis:
Update: I did the uninstall reinstall thing a few times and somehow got notifications back. Now the only problem I have is with the gear manager locking up when I make a change in any of the settings. Error says: gear plugin 1 has stopped working...wait or cancel? If I tic "wait" the phone is toast, goes totally black and has to be rebooted...cancel does nothing, just locks the phone on the screen that is currently showing...any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bballengphd:
Did you restore the gear or reset it after connecting to GM? What I find is if I let GM restore its latest backup of the gear, things tend to go wrong. But if I reset without any restore of backup, both GM and the gear are ok. Not sure how many apps you have in addition to the stock apps, but maybe try resetting?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] creasqui:
What do you think ? will the gear manager updated and maybe to tizen ?

HI

Sorry if this is off topic but this seems to be the best forum to ask

I am currently on Gear Manager 1.5.123002 which i have stuck with as it works well and does niot remove any apps

from the menu

But i dont like the way the notifications appear on the watch

At the moment it appears as

ICON

Sender

Small excerpt of body

Time

Do any of the later version allow for more of the Body of the Notification

to be displayed on the notification.

I find it strange that with such a big screen the main reason for having a smartwatch is not put to good use

and i still need to interact to read the message , where i want to view it at a glance to read sms, Gmails etc

It's really stupid as it's the only thing that makes me go back to the Sony especially when I get a love score through. On the Sony I can see the whole score but on the gear I'm lucky if I get the first team name so I have to either read the whole thing on the watch or get the phone out which sorry of defeats the whole purpose of the smartwatch. And as I am assuming that the gear 2 is the same I can't see the point
