What are people using for notifications on a non Samsung phone.

Meaning I have a nexus 5 and want to load risen on my watch. What are you guys using to the the notifications onto your watch from the phone. Just gear manager?

Right now I'm running null and only use it really for notifications so updating to given isn't that big of a deal.

Thanks everyone.

[MENTION=241390]NakedFaerie[/MENTION] so did you finally manage the touch problem after you went back to Android.The last time i checked going back to Android you would not have touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] wesleyrpg:
i'm using Gear Manager 2.1 with a Nexus 4 running 4.4.3, and Tizen and Notifications are running flawlessly.

No more ATN, and stuff like that...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Yea, touch is working with the latest downgrader. I'm am back on Android and its all working fine.

I did go though the phone and delete everything gear then reinstall GM from Samsung App Store so it was all fresh and its all good.

Battery life is noticeably worse than Tizen. On Tizen by now it would still be within the 90% but on Android I've done nothing with it and its now at 78%.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Sawas:
Where can I find the latest downgrader.Null Rom was very good for me.I would go back to Android
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dd323:
Gear manger don't need to modify anything Well if your update to tizen you can get Notifications from any app on your phone you want ..I use it for Facebook xda instagram Google now messages calls Facebook messenger Gmail . They work perfect . You don't have to add anything .. you gear manger connect and choose what Notifications you want

Good new, I guess,... But I found Watch Styler now in Samsung Apps and installed it, yet can't access it anywhere in Gear Manager / Home Screen Styler / Clock. It is not there anywhere to select? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gadjet:
Hi Lazer.

Try to clear data and cache in application manager on phone, works ok for me, my only comment is that changing faces is a bit slow though on some faces, watchstyler seems to hang, so i have to select a non watch styler face then switch back to watchstyler and it works?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Thanks but just cleared data & cache on BOTH Gear Manager Listings to no help. Watchstyler still missing although I can run it as an app on phone but can't set watch faces with it on Gear since not listed in Gear Manager - ... Clocks. :confused:

My battery is being eaten alive since installing Tizen. Was 100% at 7.30am today & it's just died 4pm.

Whats going on?

How can i rectify this?

Switched my Gear to Tizen last night and updated Gear manager. Connected no problem.

are you rooted by any chance ?

When you installed WS, watch your phone carefully after the apk install, it says Failed To Install
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Yep, I'm rooted but didn't see that message and can run WatchStyler on phone just doesn't show in Gear Manager --- Clocks to be able to select anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gingerdude:
Oh from what gadjet posted I thought there were many NEW apps available, tbh the only app I've ever used, kept and still use is map my walk.... i like that and the convenience of it but other than that smartwatch apps need a lot to be desired. One day maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I went back to Android as I missed those apps. For me its a killer. They should've thought ahead and updated the apps so when Gear 1 users updated they will be happy with the apps but no they are neglected and loose all the apps. THATS why we were working on a downgrader as $amsung screwed us so we got it back and downgraded.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Not to be a buzz kill but you've gained nothing. Android is no longer a supported OS on the GG1 - not by Samsung or third party app developers. In order to keep the Gear apps working developers need to update them when they update their host apps for phones and tablets. As those apps get updated their Gear counterparts will cease to function. Much like the WSJ just abandoned their Gear app by leaving it available but non-functional, other third party developers with Android Gear apps will do the same thing. So for those not interested in staying on Android because of null, it's just a matter of time before they move to Tizen. Whether they want to or not. ;) And aside from keeping a couple of apps usable that aren't (and may never be) available on Tizen, Tizen's a much better place (null aside) to be. And "screwed" is up for debate. I gave up some stuff on Tizen but think it was a fair trade based on what I gained. YMMV. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] T-Anthony78:
Some apps are now showing up in App store

I made the switch to Tizen the night it was available and was immediately disappointed as well that the advertised app store was not yet available to GG1 owners who made the switch. Little by little I do see more and more apps available. Today I've noticed that Vivino, WatchStyler and another interesting looking app called Timestream was available for download. Timestream download is free for the first 10,000 users. I grabbed it just because of that.

I don't see a significant boost of battery life as I was getting a solid 3 days from my Android version (with WatchStyler) before.

To those of you whose battery is draining rapidly with Tizen, go into the recovery screen (hold down the power button until it says rebooting and then tap a few times- tap the power button to scroll to recovery, and then click reset. Allow it to do it's thing (no need to fully reset, just restore) and it should improve the battery live and connection stability. It did for me.

Mine is rooted with the command lines to remove the camera sound entered. Hope this helps someone out there.

Personally

I have using Null, and liked it, however the reason i got it was for notifications, (had a pebble before) and found that very much lacking... i couldnt find a decent way to have notifications work well on null and my n5...

i upgrade to tizen last night, played around with it last night, and been all day... WOW what a difference, notifications work, perfect! not a single hiccup at all. battery life is much improved... before i had BT off on the watch, and just using it for pedometer and watch, and well i would be down to about 80-75% in a day.... now... BT connected all day, alot of notications etc about to go home and im at 85%... thats a 15% drop in 12 hours, with constant connection to BT, alot of notifications and playing around with it a bit showing it off to co-workers...

so in short, im glad i made the change as i am extremely happy i can finally get notifications,working again, the real reason why i got it.. (was on sale for $80 when i got it)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
The WSJ app is still working.

Android gets apps updated daily and it gets new apps daily and it wont be dead for a long time. Just about Android 4.2.2 app will work on the Gear as long as it doesn't use internet. So you cant say its bad being on Andoird on the Gear. As Tizen is new there is no apps for it compared to Android apps.

And IMO apps look better on Android than Tizen. 1 example is that Dice app. Its available on both but just feels and looks a heap better on Android. Same goes for most apps.

I'm going to wait till Samsung force me to update as I like Android a lot better. Its just a lot better and Tizen only gives me longer battery life but as I charge it overnight anyway its not needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
My guess is at some point after the U.S. (the major hold out) gets updated they'll issue an update to Gear Manager that no longer works with Android and says something like "Please connect to Kies for an important update." Samsung has two choices, expend tons of money to continue providing Android support for a few hold outs or piss some people off by forcing them on to Tizen and in the process causing them to lose some apps they used on Android. Samsung's always been a kind and caring company who puts its customers first so I'm sure they'll do the former (sarcasm ;) ). The only real question is the timing of when they blow up Android. And leaving people on Android to rot with their Gear apps slowly becoming useless as host apps change and are no longer compatible is the same thing as forcing people on to Tizen. Let's refer to that migration approach as "death by a thousand cuts." If Android Gear app developers like Path and TripIt don't see the value of converting their apps to Tizen (which isn't a hard process) that means they didn't see much value in offering a Gear app in the first place. If other apps providers feel the same way what's their incentive to keep up their Android apps on a platform Samsung themselves has declared dead? And there will be zero new Android Gear apps introduced where there's at least some hope for new apps on Tizen.

P.S. - Dice being better on Android is a reason to skip Tizen? Really? To each their own. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Its not just Dice, that was an example. Its all apps. The Android version looks and feels so much better than the Tizen version.

And its not dead. $amsung cant kill off Android so it will always have apps even if you have to sideload them there will always be apps for it.

Maybe in 6 months when apps are ported over and updated and fixed then it might be better but right now its not a good time to update as you will loose just about everything. I like the freedom to make choices and install apps where on Tizen you dont have those freedoms and apps are really limited.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I'm wondering if your able to convert WatchStyler watches to WGT watches?

I have a few Tizen WGT files and some are watches but would like to convert the watches I have in WatchStyler to WGT files so I can use them on Tizen.

To use WatchStyler to change the watch face is annoying so having them already as watches would be a lot better so you can choose them on the fly.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dd323:
Do you have the gear manger checked in settings , security ,Notifications access .. this happened to me and that fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dd323:
Do a reset from the gear settings should fix the problem . Good luck

Anyone one having reconnect issues after upgrading to tizen??

If i turn my watch off and turn it on the next day, i have to manually connect it. This also happens if i walk away from my phone and come back it will not reconnect.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
I have noticed that is does disconnect & reconnect more than when it was on Android & the Bluetooth range is much worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] willcor:
hi ,

Yes ,

I also picked this up with Tizen .!

I would charge my phone( Note 3 ) in my room ( bluetooth connected)

and then I normally sit in my chair in lounge(distance + -14 / 16 paces ? etc. etc )

If fully charged my, my phone would send a notification to my Gear 1.( i use old version of Battery Monitor app on phone Note 3 )

I would then go and unplug it.!

I started to noticed that my Gear would loose connection very ,very easy with Tizen.I then did a few " mini tests" to verify it and yes it did loose connection easy, on this distance in my home ( Yes, i am aware a lot of "things " influence bluetooth .. eg,concrete ..steel/ walls ..??)

When i flashed back to Android, i did this test again and again and found my bluetooth much more stable !!..??

Only lost connection once ,but picked it up again !!

Where Tizen would seldom /if ever pick a connection up again, on that distance .

(This is my experience and results and opinion)

Good luck and enjoy , your Gear.experience.!!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Well out of all the apps I have installed on the Gear which is about 20 (half original half sideloaded) when i upgrade to Tizen I have 2 that work. I upgraded today and I'm glad to see a few more so I now have about 6 out of the 20 apps. Still just over a quarter of the apps I use with Android so I went back. I now have all apps even the sideloaded ones showing in GM so even happier now.

I dont use wallpaper as its black so that feature is not wanted or needed,

They can never kill it off as I have a current backup of all Gear apps and how hard is it to not update. If its working then dont update and it will keep working forever and they cant stop it.

Yea, Tizen does have faster charge and longer battery life but as I put it on charge overnight when I'm asleep it doesn't matter.

1 bad feature of Tizen I did find is I use the Media Dock from Samsung as its got 3 USB ports so you can charge other devices at the same time as the phone. I charge my BT headset and Gear overnight with the phone (S4). NOW, with Tizen its now seen as a camera so every time I charge my phone and Gear the Gallery opens. REALLY ANNOYING when you take your phone off charge and the gallery is open. Gear on Android doesn't do that.

And the apps. They just have a cheap feel to them. As I keep saying that DIce game is really cheap on Tizen. Its not as smooth. Try it for yourself. Downgrade to Android and load up Dice. Have a little play and see how smooth it is. Now upgrade to Tizen then load up the same app, Dice and see how clunky it is now. its not as smooth and just not as good. It feels like a beta of the Android version.

Ssme goes for Vivino, Feedly, Dice, and dont get me started with WatchStyler. That doesn't even work with digital watches, only analog watches work. And its really annoying to get any watch face to work with it. That feels like an alpha version of the Android version.

So, you've pointed out a few good features of Tizen if you dont want to load any apps onto it then it'll be fine but if you use apps more than the standard features then its better to stay with Android and the apps.

As I said, on 6 months when they have fixed the apps and upgraded them to Android standards then they might be good but none of the Tizen apps come close to the Android quality of the same app.

Were do you got it from? It isn't in the samsung appstore from gear manager. Seems like it isn't available for galaxy gear yet...After googling...only gear 2.

But in my Samsung appstore he does not find any apps which is there... Searched for 3 apps where I was on the downloading page already for testing purposes.

Why is that? Anybody knows?

Btw imo it isn't gear 1 it's galaxy gear.. I will bet a good amount that next release is galaxy Gear 2 together with note 4...its Samsung they like to confuse...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tool46x:
Battery drain

How the heck do you guys get more the 48hrs battery life. I recently had a problem with my phone (note3) and tizen gear1. They just wont connect for the life of me. I started off with poor batt life. so i deleted the gear apk files, then after that i couldnt connect. to make things short, i wiped both note and gear. still poor batt life. what happening. Note is stock and gear is stock, meaning i have nothing install but the stock apps on the gear. The gear drains faster than my phone, on a good day i can get 12hrs but other than that ill have to charge in the middle of the day. my gear is only 2 months old so i dont think its the battery.

So coming from a full wipe on both devices, i dont know what to do anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tkjeeper:
Buddy, you definitely have something wrong, I'm shooting for 96 hrs if I make it till tomorrow at 5pm. Have you tried the reset thing mentioned in this thread several times? If not take a look and try it out. I get lots of texts/emails throughout the day, and have sleep mode on all night. Currently at 76+ hrs and 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tool46x:
Yes i did. Maybe i have to go through a couple charge cycles and let the rom settle. Because after i reset, after a few days i get frustrated and reset again.

hi Samuel Sung ,

firstly, i do not have Atooma installed and secondly,as handy as Watchstyler is,

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Yea, its there but its unplayable. You swipe to change directions and when you swipe down it closes the app. Stupid controls. For such a small screen it should be tilt controls not swipe.

But Tizen has poor tilt capabilities. Its not as responsive as Android's tilt.

Hi to everyone,

I have this problem with short batterylife, same as tool46x user. I tried to contact Samsung user service and they gave me some lame answers. However I already try to reset SM-V700 watch and Note 3, instaled gear manager meny times from the start, as well as new sofware on SM-V700 gear, but without sucess. With Tizen software 9-10 hours of battery life top. With Android it was almost 48 hours.

Are there some regular solution as my watch now is just a peace of garbage.

Best regards.

I had the same problem, tried resetting and running plain Tizen no added apps, no WatchStyler. Still draining fast. Then I removed all the remaining GG1 Android apps remaining on my phone, I kept them in case i wanted to move back to Android. Like tasgear, sms server, gear location bridge, and some more. Maybe one or more of them kept nagging he gear over bluetooth. Now it has gone down 1% in two hours. Looks much better!

Btw I am using Sony Xperia V.
