Please read first:

I have moved on to the HTC One M8, I don't own a galaxy phone anymore, and have sold my gear. I won't be keeping this thread updated anymore, but please refer to Brendo's thread (link below) which he appears to be maintaining. Cheers. ps, i really miss the gear, but am just sick of samsung phones for the moment. can't wait for the moto 360!

Brendo's gear manager thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2573200

Hi All,

Here's some versions of the Gear manager APK I have managed to collect. Hopefully the historical versions might be useful to some, and the current version useful to people wanting to run Gear manager on a non Samsung/Touchwiz phone/ROM.

Latest version, 16th March 2014

1.7.031004 - poor watch battery life? I would stick with 1.6.132701 right now.

Historical versions

1.6.132701

1.6.131003

1.6.111801

1.5.123002

1.5.121601 - this version was a bit buggy

1.5.120903

1.2.131013

If you have other versions feel free to send me a link and I'll host.

For those running non-TouchWiz phones, you might be able to get the Samsung Apps app working by having a look HERE.

HTH.

Changelog

As usual with Samsung, we don't often get real changelogs, but occasionally people work it out or Samsung's PR team let it slip.

2.0.14031004

Watch manager that comes with the Galaxy S5

1.7.031004

Unsure, but I have gotten pretty bad watch battery life with this version. I went back to 1.6.132702 and battery mostly went back to normal.

?? initially I thought this would be for 1.6.111801, but I installed it and it doesn't feature these updates. So possibly this is a future changelog of an unreleased version

Improved pedometer accuracy

Add setting menu “Motions”

Change motion menu for wake up gesture

When connecting to device again (example: after powering on), send notification of all unread messages

Changed to send notification only for new message

Fix to add popup message for BT connection without GM in setup wizard

Implemented standalone alarm

Add additional PIN lock

Changed and improved notifications menu

Implemented more notifications

Gear shows the messages of the notification of quick panel displayed on the phone

1.6.132702

First official 1.6.x release.

1.6.131003

Optimised for KitKat phone ROMs

1.6.111801

Fixed GMail notification repeats

Applies new functionality when used with ML1 firmware (eg native alarm)

cool, you need to advertise that better, maybe put some search terms or something? Make it obvious that older versions are there too.. i searched a lot when i first got my gear (for Christmas), and i didn't come across your thread :(

Mods, feel free to delete this thread.

Cannot connect Gear Manager on Nexus 7 2013

I don't have an Android phone (I'm a Lumia user) so I'm trying to use my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet to connect Gear Manager to my Galaxy Gear. Granted, I know my functionality is limited overall since I don't have a cell connection to share. I'm able to use PDANet and FoxFi to get some connectivity on the watch, but I cannot use that for anything tied to a Google Account.

I got the last version of Gear Manager 1.6.111801 and installed it on my Nexus 7. My Gear is rooted with Null_18. I can pair the devices via Bluetooth as mentioned above, but when I try to use Gear Manager I cannot use NFC to pair, so I try to Connect manually.

I get a message saying "Connection failed." with com.samsung.android.sdk.accessory.ssdkUnsupportedException: Device Not Supported".

Is this because I'm running this on a tablet and not a phone? If I'm trying to do something impossible, let me know. If there is something else I can try, I'd appreciate the help. I've searched everywhere and can't find any answers.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Joe92T:
I downloaded and installed the most recent version of gear manager from this thread however my watch itself is still on the MK update and will not update to the newer version.

Even when selecting update it says I have the most recent version. Is there a way to push the update through? I'm not rooted stock note 3 and stock watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
ML1 is leaked rom. MK7 is latest. There is a thread here that you can flash with odin
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fletch33:
well well i still have no idea why i received Gear Manager 1.6 on my Note 3 but if you check out this leaked Samsung Internal doc about 4.4.2 (KitKat) for the Note 3 then you will see page 14. this says that you will need 1.6 to run Gear Manager on 4.4.2.

i guess it downloaded for me by mistake but will be coming out as official soon.

Wow

"Additionally, when upgrading Gear Manager to V1.6, you will be able to use the new Email application on your

Galaxy Gear and Gear Manager. From V1.6, you are available to check and manage the Email on Galaxy

Gear."

this sounds cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
If you uninstall, then try and reinstall, does it still offer 1.6 to download? it sounds like they may have posted and then pulled down and you just got lucky :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ActiveNick:
I'm new here and I would appreciate the help, here is the short version:

My Gear is running NULL_18.

I'm running Gear Manager 1.6.111801 on a Google Nexus 7 (2013) with KitKat 4.4.2.

I preinstalled all the Gear Manager APKs and the Stub.

I pair the Gear via Bluetooth, then I try to run Gear manager and connect manually. I get the error "Failed to connect your mobile device to your Gear. Make sure that the correct charging dock is being used."

Any suggestions to load Gear Manager? Thanks for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fletch33:
i never did anything but take standard updates so i am sure it was some odd timing thing where i accidentally got it. when i reboot / wipe gear i still get 1.6. i just grabbed the apk from phone for OP to post here. still shocked that i was the only one that got it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I meant if you uninstall v1.6 from your phone. Then go to Samsung app store and redownload

USB Debugging check box missing on Gear

I have version 1.6.111801 on my Verizon Note II. Running Sophisticated ROM on my Note II. The developer didn't originally include the Gear Manager, but added it on my request. But now, when I go into Gear Settings > Gear Info, I don't have the "Allow USB Debugging" that I had when I first installed the Gear when I had installed the beanstown stock 4.3 ROM. (The OTA 4.3 update wouldn't update on my phone, so I had to go the custom ROM path to get 4.3 and have the Gear working with my phone.)

So does anyone have an idea on how to get USB Debugging working on the Gear again?

Thanks.

Did my software go backwards?

Hi. I'm new and am trying to learn.

I recently rooted and modded my gear. I put null_19 on it. At the time I had software version MK7. A couple of days later I noticed that the software version is now ML1.

Was there an update? How can I tell if my gear has the latest software and my gear manager is up to date? The reason I ask is because when I try to get gear manager to check for updates it says "You Gear has been modified. Software updates are not available."
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] ActiveNick:
What do you mean by resetting? I rebooted it several times. I also upgraded it to NULL_19 today, did a wipe and tried again. Same error.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
best way to learn is to read (and try yourself)

null_19 is ml1

ml1 is latest (check firmware thread/s)

gear manager 1.6 is latest (check gm thread/s)

you have custom rom, so ofcourse there is no official update available

note: both ml1 and 1.6 are leaks and officially mk7 and 1.5 are latest releases

Some more info for the thread

I was running 1.6.111801. I wanted to try reinstalling, so I did a clear data/cache, force stop, and finally uninstall updates.

Once I finished everything was reset (all data and s/w on watch deleted), and I am now running 1.5.123002 and MK7.

So I was running the 801 release until today but didn't do anything special, just took the automatic updates. When I did the update today it was 002 that installed.

Help

I keep asking and keep getting the same answer, look in the threads, well I can not figure it out. I went back to sctock after null 19, and bought a new gear. Have not flashed anything over until last night. I have had the new gear for a few weeks/a month.

So I flashed na6, after getting the new Gear Manager update a few days ago, and when I go to "My Apps" in GM they disappear! I did Wondersare and ADB. They go on there and download, then when I go into "My Apps" in GM they are removed from my gear. They still show up on Wondershare and ADB.

I have tried everything downgrading GM then flash na3 and then go back to mk7(they work with mk7)

Then I tried na6 with a lower GM and nothing. Every combo I try and nothing seems to work at all!

So now I back on mk7 with my latest GM and it works, however I want to use the new firmware's!

Ps: If someone could take a few minutes to help me out ive been researching it over and over, and flashing over and over....

Also if someone has the link/file for ml1 (I know ive had na3 working with last gear!) but I know that ml1 will work with the new GM but I can not find it anywhere...

Either use another gm that is not the latest, or use a custom launcher (and upgrade to null22 while you're at it)

hi ,

just to add , that i have Note 3 (N9005 ) and running kitkat 4.4.2 and software version on Gear watch is NA6.

Gear manager i have currently ,official vers 1.6.132701

No problems, with weather or updates of weather on watch or on phone.Working 100%

( just check now again working 100% ..updates shows weather etc )

i had gear manager 1.7. ..., ( S5 leaked ,but reverted back to ver 1.6 as i felt, it is slightly better, than 1.7 ! )

All i can suggest is to either,uninstall Gear manager v 1.7 and re install /or do reset gear manager installation

I would revert back to Gear manager v1.6...,as i feel vers 1.7 ,brings nothing new to the "table" ? and is not "official version ) anyway !

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
When I installed gear manager, I immediately got an official update from Samsung.

The weather app and communication to the gear hasn't worked since.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] willcor:
hi ,

all i can suggest ,if you happy your gear software and gear manager is ok ?

then it has to be on phone side ? Is your Samsung Weather widget on Note 3 placed on Home screen ?

Setting in weather app correct ?/ and location/ gps enabled ?

I know that the weather widget can be sticky and sometimes don't want to update ( however i only found this to be on a few occasions )

Bottom line ( for ) me that it should work on the relevant software and gear manager !

take a look at screenshots ,maybe it helps ?

Maybe you skipped/overlooked .... setting/ a tick ??

good luck

post note

After placing Weather Widget on phone and updating weather etc (Best is to manually update weather )

In Gear Manager on phone under Notifications you must tick/enable Weather Widget ( it is untick by default i see )

This will enable you Gear weather app to update .

Because from what I've read here, even tho Exchange message contents are blocked, you should still receive the notification to check your device.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I'm not sure whats going on but in the Samsung store there is actually 2 versions. In my download list it says v1.6 but if you do a search you find 2.0

i install v2.0 and its all white when it starts then it "downloads missing files" and downgrades itself to the black version and now its called v1.7

In Samsung store it says I have installed v2.0 and v1.6 but Gear Manager is the old black and it says its 1.7.

I would like the new v2.0 but I'm guessing they have messed it up bigtime and we will have to wait for a fix OR its for 4.4.2 only not 4.3 which I'm on and might also be for the Gear 2 as I only have the Gear 1.

And if you look at the screenshots of Gear Manager 2.0 it shows WatchOn Remote. I want that. Is that part of v2.0 or is that an app they havent released yet?
