So overnight I received Gear Manager update 2.0.14040401 This is the UK S5 branded manager. White icon instead of the Gold - which looks nasty and cheap.

Watch Styler is apparently not working with this release and my Gear today has no watch face!!

Does anyone know how to get Gear manager to recognise the app and give me my custom face on screen? It's listed as an app but has "disappeared" from the watch itself. It is also recognised in the Gear settings on the watch but doesn't show on screen.

I intend to rollback and install to the last Gear Manager - that was working perfectly fine. I will have to do this tonight.

I am calling UK Samsung at 9am to voice my thoughts!

Does anyone else dread these updates?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Yea, I know how you feel. Looks like they take a great working device and add bugs then force the update onto everyone. Just like they did with 4.3 firmware. 4.2.2 was so great and customizable and they force 4.3 into you and add Knox screwing everything up. I only upgraded because of the Gear and now regret it. The phone is now so crap and buggy its not funny. So I didn't have s-voice or the weather clock but everything else worked fine. Now I have so many bugs and cant downgrade I really hate $amsung now.

And this update, it looks like it added nothing as if you install the white v2.0 it downgrades itself to v1.7 for the Gear 1. Not sure if its a 4.3/4.4.2 thing or a Gear 1/Gear 2 thing but I cant get that white Gear Manager to work. The only thing I get is the first connecting page then its all the old black GM.

And why doesn't GM work without the GM Stub? I never had that and had to install it manually for GM to work. Doesn't it install it itself?

The only good thing I did find is I had null_23 installed when I upgraded GM and after I connected again all the side loaded apps were in GM. I could add anything to favorites which I couldn't do before as every time I loaded up GM all those side loaded apps disappeared.

Looks like I will also be downgrading to 1.6 then installing Null again then upgrade and hopefully I can get those side loaded apps in GM again.

K, thanks.

There was a WatchOn Remote released previously that got removed from the store which linked with WatchOn on your phone. Thats the version I want as this Gear1 doesn't have IR.

I guess thats why they removed it to make it for the Gear2 instead.

Would've been better if they kept it so everyone can enjoy WatchOn not just the people with the Gear2.

Typical, as soon as a new model comes out the old model is forgotten about completely. And what sucks is there is only a handful of apps for the Gear1 and no SDK so there wont be anymore apps for it.

I got the same issue that everybody since this morning with v2.0.14040401 :(. i tried to uninstall the app and réinstall 1.6 and he asks again for update.

Hope Samsung solve the problem fast
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ash99:
I had the same problem. Resetting the Gear worked and then connected to the phone again.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] azerty-666:
Just try and still not working i got a message telling me my gear is not compatible with the app. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ash99:
What phone have you got ?

Note 2 with DN3 4 RC2
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kingears:
So i now have a paperweight, thanks samsung!

I had a problem getting my gear to sync with my phone after i did a clean install of null_23 because some apps suddenly started to FC. So i flashed the stock MK7 firmware with odin to try and do the whole sequence of root, add twrp then null_23 again, but after flashing MK7 via odin my gear wouldnt boot past the samsung logo. I then managed to sort that so at least the gear booted up but now gear manager 2.0 whatever it is tells me my S4 isn't compatible and my gear is stuck on the start "how to connect" tutorial video.

Not happy!!!!

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 AM ----------

Fixed my issue

I removed samsung apps from my phone (so it wouldnt automatically try and update gear manager.)

Then installed Gear Manager 1.2

everything now works again!

Edit - just tried pairing with 1.6 and it still wants to update even without samsung apps installed so it seems 1.2 is the one to use
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Killerheels:
Gear Manager and Gear Fit manager can be (re)installed directly from Samsung Apps which has also been updated this morning.

I have just re installed Gear Manager onto my S3 4.3. No pairing needed, it looks like it has remembered my Gear.....

Update: 1:30pm pm Program overlays message "Installing addtional software" - looks like a patch has been released....

If this install works I'll let you know.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I just reinstalled GM 4 times. I'm having the less problems with 1.6

If you dont want to have Samsung Apps auto update just untick the box for that app. It says there is an update but it wont update it.

For some reason I dont see the Fit Manager anymore. What I did was install it then went to Titanium Backup and Froze it then I uninstalled it and now its not there. Should try that with v2.0 of GM and see if that stops it from updating as it is a different app to v1.6.

If you do the update like you said go have a look through your app manager and see all the double apps. its got a lot of those gold GM apps and a lot of the new white GM apps. NOt sure which it will use but its just been doubled so best is to go there and delete everything and start from scratch and only have 1 copy of all those apps. There will be lots of clashing apps. The worst install I had today was when I did that, I synced the Gear with GM 1.6 then upgraded to 2.0 and it kept crashing and had problems. I just deleted everything and installed 1.6 and now its all working again and no crashes except for trying to install Evernote, that never installs properly anymore, it says its installing for ages and just wont stop still I kill the SA app and it says its installed after that.

I will wait for v2.1 before I try again as this is buggy as hell. And I doubt they will update anything for the Gear1 as they will be concentrating on the Gear2 from now on. To $amsung the Gear one is dead from now on the second the Gear 2 gets released.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] azerty-666:
New installation of app. Now it works. I get official package for a friend Who just get the New Gear 2 lite and it seems we have V1.7 and V2 on the same apk file

1.7.031004 is the only version which works for me. I mean anything beyond that, i get the below error message

"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 is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software"

I am on note 3 4.4.2 NB4 and Using Gear 1.

I have seen couple of users have posted its working, for them, but in reality from their screen shot its evident that its gear 2.

I tried to install the version 1.6 in the OP, after installation, it asks to be updated from app store, if i say not i get the below error message

"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 is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software"

any help would be much appreciated

which version you were on , before you upgraded to the new version. i have tried the new version on app store, which was updated on 18th April. Even that is also not working. giving me the same error message.

I tried upgrading from 31004 , it didn't work . tried removing and installing a fresh 41404, it didn't work, so finally have gone back to 31004.

Can any one suggest what i need to do to run the 41404

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zadigre:
Mine is still NA6...

The only problem I had with the latest Gear Manager is I lost the clock on my gear... There was no way to bring it back with the stock faces or with watchstyler... I had the notification "app" on the gear in place of the clock. I restored my gear and everything was fine after that.

Galaxy S2

Have you been able to link your Galaxy S2 ?

I used the latest Gear Manager 2.0.14041404 which is the only that does not crash on my device: Galaxy S2, Cyanfox/KitKat 4.4.2.

The pairing is OK, but Gear Manager cannot connect to Gear.

Also, goprovider and saprovider are usually doing force close. ConnectionManager also crashes sometimes.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Killerheels:
Some one will correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the S2 is supported. I'm running an S3 stock. It's the earliest model as far as I know.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hobbiwan:
That's correct, S2 is not supported.

However, I saw some people make it work with Galaxy Note 2 or Nexus 5, which are not supported either.

I am hoping to make Gear anager work on the Galaxy S2 :fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souler456:
I'm planning to use Custom ROM for my JB using Custom Kernels from my Rooted ICS, and I have questions and doubts. Here's the steps and the Q's they have:

So, here's the steps I planned based on my S2 Guide Surfing:

1. Root my ICS (Done)

2. Flash Stock JB Official Firmware via Odin XWMS1? XWMS2? or XWLSW?

Questions Regarding This Step:

A. Do I have to backup my /efs folder from ICS here?

B. Do I have to Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Cache BEFORE/AFTER flashing the JB Firmware?

3. Flash Siyah? or DorimanX? Kernel via Odin

Questions Regarding This Step:

A. Can I run these kernels on my Stock JB ROM (if succeededly flashed)?

B. If I do a backup on Siyah via its CWM, and changed to DorimanX, then noticed that the kernel's not my type, can I restore my backup from Siyah's to DorimanX's CWM? Or does the both kernel have the same CWM?

4. Flashing Custom ROM via Custom CWM

Questions Regarding This Step:

A. If I flashed a Custom ROM which has a Cusrom Kernel inside (like NeatROM, I suppose), will it be overwritten my Siyah/DorimanX kernel? Or they will still be there?

Thanks for Noticing My Questions! And Very Thanks for Answering Them! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
1) Yes, I'd backup up EFS immediately after you root your phone (and even before you do a nandroid backup with CWM). Use Hellcat's kTool from Google Play (and buy Hellcat a beer after you download it).

2) No. No need to wipe when flashing stock firmware (you can if you want though if you like a really clean install) because you're going to be wiping before you do a custom rom install anyway.

3) Yes. You should be able to run Siyah or Dorimanx just fine on stock JB (make sure you choose the right build though; read the threads devoted to these kernels to work out which build you need).

4) Yes, if you do a nandroid backup with CWM while running Siyah, and you switch to Dorimanx & decide you don't like it, you can restore your backup & go back to Siyah.

Though you could just easily re-flash Siyah with CWM to achieve the same result. That will probably be quicker than restoring a backup (say, 2 minutes Vs 10 minutes). If you re-flash a kernel, just the kernel changes, none of your settings/apps/anything else does, so restoring a nandroid just to go back to a particular kernel is overkill.

5) Yes. If you flash a custom rom, the kernel bundled with that rom will overwrite/replace your current kernel. If you don't like the kernel bundled with the rom, you should be able to use any other kernel you want with it provided the kernel you want to use works with the base of the rom (I.E the kernel you want to use works with TW roms if you're running a TW rom, or AOSP if you're running an AOSP rom) & the Android version of the rom you're running. Again, read the thread devoted to the kernel to determine compatibility before you flash it (worse thing that can happen if it isn't compatible is the phone will bootloop though; unlikely to brick your phone outright).

On all my other XDAs I could view videos in complete full mode.

I have tried all I can to find out how my exec will play a movie in full and it won't.

It just blacks out the rest of the screen and plays a tiny little video in letterbox shape.

This is so so so annoying and i would love to find out if anyone can help.

I haven't seen anything on here about it - search returns nil.

Is anyone able to play Full Screen????

Use a freeware player like TCPMP. WMP doesn't support full-screen playback, its a problem with the OS itself.

Worked on wm9

Yeah I agree, on my old XDA ii and XDA iis it worked fine. must be a wm10 or wmb5 thing.

With that in mind, is there a way to put windows media 9 on my pda?

Also on another subject, i just did the latest upgrade ofrom from o2's site and my phone keeps crashing and has the following errors:

* when I go back to the today screen, the last window is still showing on the icon left hand side of the screen, therefore stopping me from selecting things.

* My e-mail accounts keep disapearing although the name of them still shows in the selection option in the today screen. This used to happen all the time before the upgrade and now it is worse. Usually deletes the account after a soft reset or crash. annoying thing is you can't name a new account with the previous name as it is still stored in the memory somewhere but you can't find it in the e-mail program.

* when i did my upgrade, I copied everything across from the pda (drag and drop) so that I could re-insert the message files to keep my sms's, although it just copied empty folders. Are all the files locked or restricted or did I need to perform the drag and drop by files and not folders?

I seem to have a love and hate relationship with my pda. Although, the best thing about wmb5 is the memory, no more lost data when your battery dies. They are getting closer to laptop functionality and I can't wait to see what the next version has to offer.

* and finally, it is slower than ever.

Windows Media player full screen

Hi,

Samething is missing.

I have a Xda Universal and a Xda Atom.

Last Rom in both.

Running ORB (www.orb.com) on home PC.

Xda Universal connect via Wifi steam via orb cannot get full screen.

Xda Atom same connection same programs install via Wifi I can get full screen in Windows Media Player. Both systems WM5.

Why can´t I see full screen in Universal?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] galt:
I don't know how it say it nicely (but I mean no disrespect) but the point needs to be made: Trying to use WMP for video playback is so worthless (compared to using TCPMP) that it is rediculous to spend time and effort in regards to the video play back in WMP not being full screen. If you're not the kind of person who would be willing to try the free TCPMP (soon to be BetaPlayer or pay version CorePlayer) then there's no reason to be on these forums.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] JoseF:
Hi . I usually use TCPMP

The point is that it you can see in full screen in WMP in WM5

The question is why you can see in the Atom but not in the Universal

If you see the topic is

"Windows Media won't go full screen"

The question is not using TCPMP

JoseF
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jerome923:
Agree with JoseF.

Sometimes you just need wmp10 to do the job, like wmv streaming. I'm not sure TCPMP support that.

But of course wmp10 can go full screen if the original video size is bigger than 640x480.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Rabangus:
I find that WMP gives better sound quality (and slightly more volume) than TCPMP when listening through headphones.

Good as TCPMP is, if WMP would play videos properly I would uninstall TCPMP and use the space for something else instead. Is anyone looking at a hack to get WMP working properly?

Rowan
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] matt1971:
In other words WMP is working fine with videos over 640x480 - thats good news - will try it later.
