I dont think any watch faces will do that but that will be an awesome app. One that tells you the battery of the phone as for me its desperately needed. The battery on my S4 only lasts about 4 hours. The bsttery life on this is pathetic and people think the Gear has a bad battery life. Get a S4 and you will see the phone needs 2 charges to every 1 of the Gear.

Battery drain after Tizen

I have battery drain after I updated from Android to Tizen. Before Tizen, I got 3-4 days standby time with very minimial use. But now, with Tizen I got only something like 36 hours standby with same ussage. What's wrong with this Gear? I did factory reset from basic settings and from "recovery mode".

Any solution to this?

Get the app called Toggles Gear in the Samung App Store, it was under Utilities. I didn't see it on my S4, until I changed my build prop to a Sprint Note 2. It was $1, or $1.49, but I think it is worth it. I can toggle data sync, mobile data, vibrate mode, silent mode, wifi, bluetooth, and wifi hotspot, all from my watch. It also shows battery and signal strength from my phone and a list of all wifi access points my phone sees if wifi is turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
Can you share your build prop edits for the Sprint Note 2?

I tried the one from this thread ->> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52030304 Rebooted, but still don't see the mentioned app showing up.

i do all my changes manually but that should be good enough, i shouldnt need a a editor from the store... i make my changes and reboot... so idk why samsung apps store doesnt connect... ugh
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Here's my experience. When I first moved to Tizen my battery life dropped. That was using Tizen BTU on a XAR Gear that was running Android BTU before I updated. I moved to XAC, did a recovery, and reinstalled Gear Manager. My battery life went up +/-25% over what I was getting on Android. But that's nothing likes the "days" some people are claiming. I moved to the newer-release Romanian ROM and am getting "days" now too. I'm at 50% going on 36 hours and even used the Sleep app last night. And I'm what I'd consider a pretty heavy user.

I have no idea why my results were so mixed or what I did that got my battery life up so high. For people with issues I'd suggest trying the newer Romanian ROM and definitely recovering and reinstalling GM.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Greaf:
So, I've flashed Tizen firmware with odin into my Galaxy Gear

But now, Gear Manager says it can't connect to the watch. My Galaxy S3 is ont SmartDroid 9.9 (4.3). What's the problem there ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] c_86:
update your gear manager... search the forums, and download the latest...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Greaf:
I have the latest (2.1.14052101 June 13th version). So I don't understand where the problem comes from. Custom ROM on my S3 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] c_86:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Greaf:
Still the same. I'll try to downgrade to Android.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

So, I really think it's Gear Manager and ROM problem. Even after downgrading to Android, it doesn't work. I may have curse on something c_c
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Try this. Go through the App Manager and remove everything with the gear icon. Then only install the Gear Stub and Gear Manager.

Reset your watch using Recovery menu.

When it syncs it will automatically download the extra files it needs and should all be fine.

Dont forget Gear 1 on Android and Tizen use different files. So if you have the Android version of GM it will clash with the Tizen version.

"Failed to Install App" now fixed for me

[MENTION=4922633]flouflou[/MENTION]

I had this problem and it drove me crazy.

I see quite a few forum users having the same problem..

I tried everything, uninstall, reinstall Gear Manager, Samsung Apps etc etc

Anyway, I eventually found this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52433453&postcount=9

I followed it, and also changed GearManagerStub.apk under /system/app in my phone unzip and push the .apk to /system/app (permission rw-rw-r--) reboot

After I reconnected my Gear1, I could load all apps :)

good luck and let us know if you come right !
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Greaf:
It works now. I've spammed Gear Manager in order to install extra files. I still have the error but I can access to Gear Manager and all of its option :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] docangle:
I am having an issue with getting my Gear 1 with Tizen to connect to my Stock with root Tmobile Note 3. It will Pair Correctly but GM gets stuck at Connecting to device. It just sits there and doesn't even timeout. If I downgrade to Android it works fine. I have tried to deleting all of the Gear apps under Applications, clearing Data under GM, Remove Pairing but nothing seems to work under Tizen.

My other question is what is Gear Stub used for? I assume it is used for non-Samsung devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Nope, When I got my Gear1 I was on 4.2.2 and I had GM installed and couldn't work out why I couldn't connect Then I came to these forums and found out you need the GM Stub so I installed that and it worked. After I upgraded to 4.3 I had a few problems so I removed all gear apps and just download it from Samsung store and again it refused to work until I manually installed the Gear Stub.

So I'm not sure where to get it from but I know its needed for GM to work on any device even the Samsung devices as I got the S4 i9505 and it never had GM Stub or worked until I manually installed it.

To get Tizen working what I always do its what I said above. I go through App Manager and delete everything Gear EXCEPT for the Gear Stub, thats the only file i leave alone.

Then I go to Samsung App Store and install GM then I connect the Gear and GM downloads all the files it needs and works.

I am going to pull the GM Stub off the 10.1 and try that version on the Note 3. Otherwise, I have no clue what is going on.

NO, I mean installing it. For me its not a system app. I had to install the APK myself as it wasn't already there and GM doesn't install it. Without that GM Stub GM wont work and it doesn't come with any installer.

I dont know why people are needing root and moving it to system/app as I never did and it worked.

Is there a way to link phone volume to watch volume? I would like the watch to be silent when my phone is silent.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Thats EXACTLY what I was thinking the other night when I got 4 alerts waking me up during the night where the phone is on silent/sleep mode.

I'm not sure what happened but all I did was put the watch into silent mode then when I got up and put it back to sound mode ALL my notifications were turned off in GM.

There also needs to be an ALL button to turn them all back on.

Activating the Sleep app we already have does exactly the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lazer9:
There are a few posts I believe in the Watch theme thread in apps & themes forum here that point to some different build prop edits to get WatchStyler working. Unfortunately, while it worked out fine for me, the battery drain was just too great, could barely go a day opposed to 4 days on Tizen with WatchStyler and a WatchTheme running on the face, so I uninstalled WatchStyler and all is better.

SamMobile says the latest firmware for the G2 Neo is NE5 where the latest for the Gear1 is NE9 so we have the newer firmware. But the Gear1 just got NF1 for Romania so a newer firmware is on its way.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
"Newer" by code (EG: NE5) doesn't really mean a lot as the same build date/number can have a different code assigned based on region. The Gear 2's are 2.2.1.2 and we're on 2.2.1.1. The article you linked lists some of the features added we don't have.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
??? I go by the build number as there are multiple release numbers. Look at the Android firmware for Gear1. There are 4 4.2.2 firmwares but all with different build numbers so you got it wrong.

And by the looks of it the next build is NF1 and thats got the new features from that article which I didn't post but I read it. That article said its an update not a full firmware as its supposed to be only 20MB. I guess those who root or modify will have to reflash the official firmware to get the update.

From what I have read, the Tizen update can only be done with Kies or Odin. There won't be anything automatic about it, so it can't be forced on you.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
I did a search and found out there is supposed to be more apps for Tizen than the GG so thats good to know.

As Samsung remove about 1 app a week from the GG Android store it'll probably be better to upgrade as most of the GG apps are faulty and not getting fixed.

Are you sure? How did you find out?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] radekklamzynski7:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Is the Tizen formware region locked like the Galaxy phones?

I cant upgrade my S4 using an UK firmware as it bricks so I have to use the Australian firmware.

But the Gear could upgrade to any firmware without problems.

what feature? if you search the new feature of new Gear 2 / NEO 2.2.1.2 it's not for Gear 1 for the moment because at this time gear 1 stay on 2.2.1.1

Peraps on future Update to 2.2.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
You're confused.

All Samsung devices except for the Gear have build numbers assigned to their specific s/w. All versions of a build number have the same contents with the exception of modifications necessary or applicable to each region the s/w's deployed in. The packaging date is just that - when someone at Samsung rolled up the s/w and published it. In the example below the s/w's the same even though the build dates are different.

Different regions, especially Asia/China, use different build number sequences that don't align with other regions. In this example, China's got a higher build number by a significant margin than other regions with later build dates. It doesn't mean China's build is "newer" it just means the version control system Samsung's using applies different sequencing by region.

The Gear's have never used build numbers from the very first Android s/w launched. On Android the build code (EG: NF1) instead of the build number is used to determine which s/w version is newer. Probably because all the s/w on all the Gear's worldwide are the same unlike Samsung's other devices where the features vary by region. In the move to Tizen it appears that the OS version number

plus

the build code (similar to how Asia/China use a different build number sequence) determine which s/w's newer. Anything on 2.2.1.2 is going to be newer in terms of content regardless if a 2.2.1.1 ROM has a newer build date. Again, the build date is when it was packaged, not when it was finalized for production. So our NF1 is older than the Gear 2's NE5. And when we (hopefully) get 2.2.1.2 whatever build code is assigned will have nothing to do with the other Gear's and will be higher than NF1.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Gossieur:
Yes, I rooted with the same file (v700_rootfs.img)

Update : I have been fooling around with watchstyler, and see a battery drop from 70 % to 35 % in 4 hours ...

Before I used 1% per hour !

Will charge my Gear when at home, and follow up if this battery drain remains ... if so, I'll return to the former Tizen firmware.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] dragid10:
Well what can we use now to push apk's to our gears?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Thats not the firmware thats Watch Styler doing that. On my Gear even in Android I now have the default Weather clock and atm its at 43% after 14 hours. When I use Watch Styler I get about 8 hours out of it.

Watch Styler is good for the watch faces but its a battery killer at the same time.

Before I went back to Android from Tizen I was looking into converting Watch Styler clocks into WGTs so we wont need Watch Styler and we would be able to have more than 1 watchface at a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] bballengphd:
I don't think apks can be loaded to Tizen as is, because its a different OS after all.

I think some of us were working on app conversion/watch styler conversion, but I am not sure what the progress is at the moment.

So as of right now, we can only rely on Samsung store to push out Tizen apps. I have said this before, even though Tizen was originally designed as open source, after Samsung acquired it, they have changed the structure such that only their approved apps can be used on Tizen, in effect making Tizen a closed OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NakedFaerie:
Instead of using ADB to push apps we now use SDB. Its pretty much the same thing just for Tizen.

And the APKs are now called WGT.

And no its not closed, just get the SDK and you can do virtually whatever you want with it. When its rooted its as open as Android is.

And you can install anything on it thats Tizen and compatible just like on Android.
