If I find a way (or someone points one out I've missed) then I'd be happy to :) But until then I'm afraid we are stuck with it lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Radimus:
In the application tab on settings there is usually an option to hide persistent notifications for a given app. it is just a filter to suppress the item.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Oh, forgot about that. Cheers

EDIT: After a couple of hours, icon came back again. Even though turned off in app settings :s
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
I gave host to gear messaging a try, sadly did not work...

I'm in the process of testing gear to host now, will post feedback shortly.

EDIT: Gear to host does not work either, I noticed when launching the intent.. the notification status for TasGear goes into a "Disconnected" status also.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
^^ +1 what [MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] said. .

Once in a disconnected state (as shown in host notification window) then only a reboot of host allows reconnection.

It doesn't allow an automated (nor manual) way to reconnect from either host, nor gear

But at least TasGear starts at boot now which is a step forward

Thanks [MENTION=5796803]Orbonis[/MENTION] for your efforts.

Ps the notification works fine but don't know what the"sound" check box is supposed to do ?? Does nothing with it checked and notification sent from host.

Notification received and spoken perfectly on gear. ..

What is the "sound" supposed to do ? I'm guessing a wip
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Yep, my experience the same as above

Also smashed my gear battery
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
That's a host crash that is. Can I get the logcat?

Also a sound should play when the sound check box is ticked. Works fine on stock, not much I can do if it doesn't work on null I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
My mistake, it is an error on the Gear not the host. Can I get the logcat for that?

Catch all Notifications

Hi

I have now got a message to send from the phone to the gear

please could you let me know how to catch all notifications in tasker so i can send them to the gear

Thanks for this app this could be just what is needed to make me shift from the sony for good
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
To send a notification to the Gear, create a new action using Plugins > TasGear. Hit the config button and enter the information you want for the notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] machmandp:
Hi and thanks for the reply

But i can and have sent a notification that i have typed in to the gear

but is there anyway of automatically sending all received Notifications

such as SMSand Gmail etc

Maybe thats what you were telling me how to do it but in configuration i just see fields that i fill in and nothing else

Sorry if this sounds thick
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Can I some how use this to send the phone's battery level to the gear and display it through a widget or on the statusbar using Null Rom and apex somehow and if so, can someone lend me a brief tutorial on how to accomplish? :angel:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Sorry, my mistake, I misunderstood. I am not sure of a way to do that using Tasker I'm afraid.

You can forward notifications from specific apps to the Gear using Gear Manager's notification section.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] machmandp:
ahh ok i also misunderstood what i could do but i'll look around to see if its possible

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
I believe the feature we are currently working on will allow this to happen :)

Maybe [MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] will offer some advise if you ask nicely ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Try this :)

TasGear 1.0.8b
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
1.0.8b I get immediate disconnect when sending intent from host
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] machmandp:
Can't find anything that can do this

Shame really as that's the only thing that the gear is worse at than the Sony and the pebble.

I hate the truncated notifications on the gear as I have to open most messages which helps to waste the battery when on the others I can see enough of the message at a glance.

Maybe Samsung may improve it at some stage but with the gear2 out I doubt it

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
I MAY be able to do something about that. I'll see what I can do and get back to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Hmm... I'm not having any issues sending a message host>gear.

Could you send me a logcat from the host & the gear just after the disconnect?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] machmandp:
excellent thats great news

Thanks

by the way 1.0.8b works fine for me , it vibrates and speaks the text sent and i get no disconnection

Running null_23 and rooted

Note 2 is running 4.3 leak stock & rooted

if you need any logs etc let me know

EDIT: If not then I am an idiot... actually I am an idiot either way, but for entirely different reasons.

According to that the intent sends fine... then it tries to send a task with the HashMap for some reason, which understandably fails.

This new build will give you "what went wrong".
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
1.0.8d

WORKING FINE - no log needed ( no errors in the log ) :)

I sent an intent from Gear to Host and it's received and working fine on host ( ie the desired action carried out on intent received on host )

Also working fine from Host to Gear ! Well done [MENTION=5796803]Orbonis[/MENTION] and THANK YOU !!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Excellent :) I'll put it in the OP soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
Call me dumb but what exactly can we do with the 'extra' bit of the intent ???

I have tried some standard Tasker stuff but not getting to access the 'extra' payload that gets sent with the intent, populated under intent Extras
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
The extra data can be text, numbers, booleans(true/false) and various other bits of information. You can use them to send information between the host & the Gear (ie battery power, wifi status, etc).

It should print out the information in the logcat (I can't remember if I left that in), but I don't know how you can read the extra data through Tasker. Certain widgets can though, I think [MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] has some plans along those lines.

EDIT: Taskers documentation gives more info on how to get the extra data:

http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/intents.html
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
I think that I will have to wait for an expert like [MENTION=1620550]fOmey[/MENTION] to kindly show us how to do it.

I know how to populate a UCCW widget on my host phone (Note2) with a variable. ..The part I am struggling with is how to make an intent received extra from the Gear into a variable on the host, to use in a widget.

Simply put, I am trying to send the Gear battery level (%BATT on the Gear) as an intent extra to display in a widget on the host (Note2) but the variable doesn't populate in my host (Note2 ) tasker variables.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
If you sent the intent with the extra:

%GEAR_BATT:%BATT

You should be able to access the gears battery using:

%gear_batt

after you receive the intent. All letter in the variable name are converted to lower case, best to avoid numbers and punctuation by the sounds of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
+1 on hoping for a guide (walk-thru). I can't even figure out tasker yet, lol, so I'm really behind.

And I'm trying to accomplish the opposite - Show the Phone's (Galaxy S4's) battery level on the Gear, however, what you are trying to do sounds cool to. :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Updated so you can choose an icon for the notification. For now it uses a pre-set list of icons (taken from Tasker).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mnstrLabs:
I've got it working great on the Moto X, had to uninstall then reinstall when I reset the watch, but that was the only hiccup, and caused by the near impossibility of clearing the Gear Manager's settings once it decided to back them up.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

Is the only way to get the Gear to "Word Wrap" by adding line breaks to the variables before sending them?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
You mean on the notifications? The text will automatically word wrap.

If you mean using intents, then yes. Tasker doesn't use multiline text boxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mnstrLabs:
Not on mine. Goes off to the right. Hmmm. Will look deeper into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
[MENTION=5796803]Orbonis[/MENTION], Excellent excellent job.. everything working as intended in the most recent version...

Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
[MENTION=5796803]Orbonis[/MENTION] , thanks to your amazing TasGear app and intents, see my new widget showing Gear battery level on my Note2 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Could someone kindly take me through a step by step on what exactly is needed to show the battery levels from gear to phone and visa versa. I don't know the commands/profiles to do in tasker as I'm a newb at this and I don't understand if I need tasker also with this app on the gear?

Many thanks for any help with this!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Nice! I'm gonna give that a go this long weekend - gear battery on phone, phone battery gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
First off, you need Tasker on BOTH the host (phone) and Gear.

You also need UCCW (and download the UCCW Tasker plugin)

And obviously TasGear installed and connected/working :)

Here we go. .

On Gear Tasker

Add new Profile

Event

Display

Display On

New associated Task

Add, Misc ?, Send Intent

Action:com.orbonis.gear.tasker.consumer.MESSAGE_HOST

Extra: GEAR_BATT:%BATT

On host (phone) Tasker

Add new Profile

Event

System

Intent Received

Action:com.orbonis.gear.tasker.MESSAGE_RECEIVED

Task

A1) Variable Set

%BATTERY to %gear_batt

A2) Plugin, UCCW, configuration

Variable name BATTERY,

Variable %BATTERY

tick Replace Tasker Variables

save

Then in UCCW make your widget and choose element Variable1 .

Under Variable enter BATTERY (not %BATTERY)

UCCW has an oddity in that it doesn't immediately recognise the variable so you need to go to Tasker and initially enter any number (eg 9 ) into the %BATTERY variable value

That's it.

I am certainly not an expert but searched and explored my way to getting this working great.

Ps. . On the Gear you can use any profile to trigger the 'send intent' action. I just chose 'screen on' for testing.

I will probably try find something better as a trigger. ...

Enjoy exploring, this is just a start of the whole new world of opportunities that [MENTION=5796803]Orbonis[/MENTION] has opened up to us [emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Initial problem: When I sideload and install UCCW on the gear and try to run it. It keeps exiting and saying "Stopped" :confused:

Also this part ^^^^^ lost me.

And I installed this OP taskgear on the gear and now it just sits in notifications saying "Please Wait"....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
This seems so complicated to me. I have TasGear and Tasker on my Gear plus Tasker on my Note 3.

How do I start a task that I have on my Note 3 using my Gear?

In few words, I want to select my phone tasks from my Gear and execute them.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
Easy

Open TasGear on your GEAR

Click bottom left where it says Favourites (may say Base)

Select Base

Your Note3 tasks are shown

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

The example I gave was for UCCW on phone

A1 means your first task/action

A2 means the next

What part lost you?

UCCW configuration
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
A couple things confused me, lol. First, I was trying to get UCCW to work on the gear, 2nd, I didn't understand (A1,2) business, I thought they were some kind of variables, lol. I'll revisit this when done with lunch. Sorry for being such a newb with Tasker... And my tasgear is still showing "please wait" in notifications and tasgear doesn't even show up in my app drawer, even after rebooting the gear and clearing dalvic and cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Make sure you have enabled "Unknown Sources" on the Gear before you install TasGear or it won't be able to install the Gear app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Wait! I think I screwed this all up. I sideloaded the Tasgear App directly onto the Gear and installed in from there. I better re-read the instructions maybe, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
Watch Battery% shown on GEAR [emoji106]

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 PM ----------

Uninstall TasGear from your GEAR

Then, Only install TasGear app on the phone, it will automatically transfer what it needs to the Gear when you connect Gear Manager by bluetooth.

Enable allow unknown sources in Gear Manager.

In Tasker, on both Gear and phone in Preferences, make sure you aren't in beginner mode (untick box) in UI tab and under Misc tab , allow external access (tick relevant box)

Be patient for TasGear to connect. ..wait one or two minutes then check in phone notification window to see when connected
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
I'm hung up on the part on how to access Preferences on the Gear. There is no button I can find or way to get into them?

I have Beginner mode unticked on phone.

Also:

Action:com.orbonis.gear.tasker.consumer.MESSAGE_HO ST

Is there supposed to be that space in HO ST. ?

Furthermore. I have UCCW on my phone but can't find a place or method to get to where to put the Variable?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
No space in HOST

On GEAR do you have LMT or PIE (from Gravity Box on Null Rom) to access home/back/recent?

To add a Tasker variable in UCCW Widget, open new UCCW Widget, ADD OBJECTS, scroll all the way down to Tasker Variable1, tick

If you had already added Tasker Variable1, then in UCCW , EDIT OBJECTS, Tasker Variable1 to enter variable name BATTERY (remember no % before BATTERY)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Ok, I got LMT to work to access the preferences for tasker on the gear and unticked "Beginner". Has been saying occasionally on phone that tasgear is connected but when I press on it on gear, it just spins.

Thanks for verifying other steps. Going to reboot both phone and gear and see if I can proceed.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

All I get with tasgear on the Gear when opening it is it sits with a spinning icon forever.

And on phone side in notifications, it will say Tasgear connected then flip back n forth to disconnected.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
I'd suggest you remove TasGear from your phone (and the Gear!). Restart both devices. Then reinstall on the Host.

You don't need to install anything on the Gear. The app will do that for you.

If you still have the main TasGear app installed on the Gear it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
thanks! it does work! is there a way to run task on my phone via shortcut on desktop Gear (Nova)?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Thanks but I'm still stuck and don't know what else to try. I uninstalled TasGear from my phone. I then checked the Gear in my apps drawer and under Settings: Applications and it was gone from the gear after uninstall from phone.

I rebooted both devices.

I re-installed TasGear ON PHONE ONLY. It then re-appeared on the Gear. In my phone's notifications pulldown it shows Tasgear (Connected), when I go to the Gear and press on the TasGear app, it just sits and spins. I just keep waiting with my fingers crossed but it's been in this state for over 10 minutes.

I made sure on phone per instructions to do: Make sure you have Tasker installed on your phone and "External Access" is enabled.

Doublechecked in Gear Security Settings, Unknown sources are allowed.. It's ticked. (Knew this already as I sideload apps regularly).

Both Tasker on Phone and Gear, I have disabled "Beginner Mode" in settings.

Stumped :p
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Orbonis:
Did you remove it from the Gear after you side loaded it before?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kashortiexda:
Clear cache and data on TasGear on GEAR first, then on phone. Then uninstall.

On BOTH, Reboot recovery, wipe cache and dalvik

Reinstall TasGear on phone. ..

You know the rest
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Yes, Uninstalled it and rebooted Gear awhile back then when I realized my dumb error then. lol :laugh:

Was thinking of these steps. Will try

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

Did those exact steps in the order suggested. Still no joy. Re-installed from phone: TasGear. Says connected on the phone notifications but when I try to open TasGear app on gear, it's just spinning icon... 5 minutes and counting. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Is everyone that's having success with this app running KitKat on their phone I wonder? I'm still stuck on Android 4.3 w/ Hyperdrive ROM on my S4 and guessing maybe that has something to do with this. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mnstrLabs:
OK so I'm using this on the stock gear ROM. I can send non-word wrapped notifications to my gear, but do I need to A: Root and switch to Null ROM, as well as install tasker on the gear itself to be following?
