I JUST WIPED MY WHOLE DAMN PHONE AND I STILL CANNOT PAIR MY GEAR 2 TO THE PHONE!!!

Not yelling at you at all, just venting.....

This is definitely a first for me with the pairing issue. I'm going to try on my wifes Note 3 and see if that works.

If all else fails, will try to send this dame thing back to Dell.

Sucks because I already spent money on a stainless steel band for the watch and clear full body skin protector from skinomi.
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
Four resets and 4 factory resets on the galaxy gear 2 watch, the Damn phone and watch paired! UNBELIEVABLE. I am using the previous build of gear manager and refuse to update. My Problems began with the newer build. Thanks for the reply to the applicable.
[Samsung Gear 2] gschot:
Good to hear it worked. I have been messing around with it quite a bit as well.

Are you using TW as default launcher? I use GoLauncher. My Gear doesn't reconnect automatically after a reboot of my phone. I think I noticed that when I use GoLauncher as default, it does not reconnect automatically whereas when I run TW as default, it does. Can't confirm this for sure though.
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
That's very odd. I'm using action launcher pro instead of stock tw launcher. I don't like too many icons all over the place. Also, another user reported the gear manager got updated today and already people complaining it breaks gear 2 connection. I can't verify it though and I won't update until I know any bugs are fixed.
[Samsung Gear 2] gschot:
I updated mine and this time no problems. Others reported problems though in another thread. Maybe it was ok because all was freshly installed here recently. I will run some auto connect tests shortly to see if my hunch was right.
[Samsung Gear 2] Binary100100:
Running a custom rom?
[Samsung Gear 2] gschot:
No, watch is now running stock. My Note3 runs stock 442, rooted, Wanam Xposed.
[Samsung Gear 2] Binary100100:
Okay.

Anyone successful in updating running a TizenMod?

I'm thinking that the new Gear Manager is detecting root on the watches causing it not to connect.
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
Still reading through the comments section of the 9/17 update and almost everyone has cited connection issues with the new update. Can everyone be wrong?

I am also assuming that most of the comments are from non-rooted users, so they may stuck with the update until Samsung addresses the issue. Very annoying considering what I just went through........

I have a new problem. I tried to download previously purchased apps for the gear 2, and even previously downloaded free apps for the gear 2 and I keep getting (WO:WO:FAILED) error message. I can't get any new watch faces installed.

I know if running Tizen MOd Rom 3.0 i can get some of the apps to install since the dev has signed some of the free apps with his signature in order to work with his rom, but I cannot understand why the apps are failing to install fresh out the box??
[Samsung Gear 2] Antic:
Successfully updated and working

I successfully updated the Gear Manager today and had no problems yet (didn't have much time with it, though). I'm running TizenMod 2.0. The watch didn't reset and connected without a problem to my S4 (latest 4.4.2 stock rom, rooted and with old bootloader).

Gear Manager v2.2.14090599
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
I have an MDK GS4 here with hyperdrive rls 18.1 rom and was running tizen mod 3 and the 9/5 gear Manager update. Had a lot of connection issues. Then reverted to stock rom on my gear 2 and still had connection issues. Reverted to old gear Manager and connection is fine, but now can't install my downloaded apps / watch faces on my gear 2. Keep getting WO:WO :FAILED. Error message. Anyone know how I can resolve this?
[Samsung Gear 2] twelc:
Possible workaround

I have the same connection problem on a stock Note 3 and stock Gear 2.

While I was messing around I might have found a workaround.

Make sure bluetooth is enabled.

Then just open your bluetooth devices (long-press the bluetooth icon in the notifications tray) and you should see Gear 2 is grayed out. Just tap it and it should go blue.

Then go to gear manager and it should be connected. If not reconnect it through gear manager.

I've had to do this a couple times in the last 2 days but it seems to hold it's connection unless I reboot or if it goes into deep sleep.
[Samsung Gear 2] Binary100100:
I had noticed this too. Unfortunately, we shouldn't have to do all of that.
[Samsung Gear 2] Binary100100:
Try freezing this:

I noticed that it was very recently installed so I froze it, rebooted and everything except SHealth sync seems to work now.
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
Can someone help me get passed this error message.

[Samsung Gear 2] fylim:
Are the issue resolved ? Heard there was a Gear Manager update. I am planning to get a Gear 2 and run custom Rom on it but like to know if these issue is affecting everyone or just some.
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
The error message I was received previously is gone. But after running tizen mod 3.0 for a week, again had connection issues. Updated gear Manager and it removed all my tizen mod apps. Reverted back to stock gear rom and connection issues resolved, but now a handful of apps are showing installed on the phone but not on my watch?!? . Running hyperdrive rls 18.1 on mdk bootloader
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
This is the 3rd time today that my watch randomly disconnects and nothing seems to work to keep my connection. I have went back to stock gear rom and the same issues occurs.

I uninstalled gear manager 2 times today and reinstalled all my apps. Actually some of the apps installed and showed on the gear watch. Others just . said its installed on the phone but not on my watch.

Cnn for gear 2, watch styler, gear navigator, paypal for gear 2, gear chess, all of them say their installed on my phone but not on my watch.

anyone else having this connect / disconnect no apps showing up issue? I though the new gear manager did not play nice with tizen mod 3.0 but I'm on stock gear 2 rom and still having these issues? WTF!!!!??????
[Samsung Gear 2] gav83collins:
the apps not showing isnt related to your phone rom, unfortunatly the only way to fix that isto reset your gear

thats why i wrote the aio guide, so its not tedious to install all mods,

im currently in the process of figuring hot to configure and write up an aio install guide for apps
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
Thanks for the reply. What's the aio guide? Also, what can be causing the disconnecting issues? I know it's probably a long shot, but how can I assist trying to get to the bottom of both no apps showing and the constant disconnecting issues? Is it gear manager? Hardware issue with gear 2 Bluetooth? I just don't get it and I can't imagine a company like samsung putting out a product with so many issues. Unfortunately I could be wrong.
[Samsung Gear 2] gav83collins:
its just a buggy gear manager for bluetooth, and as for apps missing, i think its some error in the code as were using unofficial ports of apps, which may also be gear managers fault

as for samsung, im sure it worked for them stock on stock on emulated devices, unfortunatly, they dont test on hardware for every possible os type (cm,stock,custom,miui)etc and os versions aswell as phone model and root/unroot devices

im sure stock tw rom on a stock gear will work fine, its upto us as a community to find fixes for all these variables

the aio guide, is all in one

i compiled the code with directions to flash, icons, fonts, sounds, mods, all by copy and paste, once all files are in place, its as simple as 1 click and its all done
[Samsung Gear 2] twelc:
I have the same problem on stock gear 2 and stock note 3. Ever since day one of the new gear manager I've been having problems.

My workaround that I posted above is working most of the time but I'm still getting random disconnects.
[Samsung Gear 2] gav83collins:
/sys/kernel/debug/bluetooth/hci0 im currently looking around in here incase the new gear manager is trying to conserve power by limiting the gears bt radio power managment
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
You're the man! Please keep us posted and let the forum know if anything we can do.
[Samsung Gear 2] twelc:
Well my workaround doesn't work anymore. The gear 2 is disconnecting now even more than ever. I'm so frustrated I'm thinking about selling it.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Im with you on that sucks best watch out there imo cuz of ir and camera
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
Just out of curiosity, but since I reverted back to stock rom on my gear 2 I still do not see the downloaded apps on my watch. The Bluetooth issue seems to have stabilized for now. But this is one heck of a trade off. If running tizen mod 3.0 on my gear 2, I can run all the signed apk's on my watch but soon after I have the Bluetooth disconnect issue. If I run stock gear 2 rom, I have a stable connection but my downloaded apps down show? Only some of the watch faces show up and there don't. In your opinion what can be causing this issue on a stock gear 2 rom.
[Samsung Gear 2] gschot:
I'm knocking on wood as hard as I can now, but my combination of Note3 and Gear2 is now stable. Had quite a few disconnect issues as well, and also the problem of apps that were reported by Gear Manager as installed but actually weren't.

The last Gear Manager update was a big improvement for me. When I rebooted the phone, the Gear never reconnected automatically, even this is fixed. I have everything stock now, no custom roms. The thing that made my watch reconnect is that resetting it did not seem to really clear everything. I had to connect it to another device, which caused a clear and then reconnect to my Note3 to have it even connect for the first time. But after this and some updates of Gear Manager, it looks like it is working the way it should. Must admit that the whole together was buggy as hell. I have a bluetooth Samsung weight scale which is capable of sending the weight to S Health and this functionality broke as soon as Gear Manager was installed. Now with the latest version and S Health 3.5 (from Note4) all is working as it should and also integrates the Gear2 a lot better without the need of Fitness with Gear.
[Samsung Gear 2] twelc:
I think it's fixed now.

I'm on the 4th day of no disconnects - not one.

It's a good bet the problem is fixed, and all I did was factory reset my GN3 then factory reset the Gear 2.

I also downloaded the latest Gear Manager which is a newer version of what I had.

Here's the website from Samsung: http://apps.samsung.com/mars/Gear/gearManagerInfo.as?downloadType=gear

The other component is I didn't overload the phone or gear with apps I don't use or hardly ever use. I think that is the main issue here.

I'm kind of an app-aholic and have multiple apps on the phone and gear that I infrequently or never use.

I'm pretty sure all these apps were fighting against each other and causing issues on both the phone and gear.

The other thing is the battery life on both the phone and gear has *IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY* from before the reset.

I couldn't even go one day at work without the battery going to zero on the phone and the gear would barely make it.

Now I have 70% on both the phone and gear at the end of the day.

My advice is to just start over with a factory reset and don't bog down the devices with multiple apps - especially the ones that are similar in nature because I suspect they battle against each other for privileges causing major battery drain.

Good luck everyone.

I consider the problem solved on my end.
[Samsung Gear 2] RJV3:
I am having good luck with the latest gear manager and stock gear 2 rom. But apps that require permissions still do not show up on my watch........
[AT&T LG Optimus G] stjojeam:
I would have liked to put this question in Paulicat's rom thread, but hey I'm not allowed. I installed the rom (link here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771440), on my Bell Optimus G E973, which I use with Virgin Mobile Canada (same network as Bell). However I am unable to get any data network connection to work, even after having setup APNs for either Bell or Virgin. I'd appreciate any hep or suggestions anyone may provide in getting data to work for me.

I've gone through the original rom thread but still cannot get data to work. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armandosal:
My phone has been acting weird the past couple days. It would randomly reboot but when it rebooted, I would have to hard reset it for it to completely boot up. For the past couple days it would happen a couple times a day. Today it was doing it almost every hour. I was just waiting to get home from work so I could back up the phone and wipe and then it just turned off. I couldn't get it turned back on. When I plugged it into the charger it turns on the Google logo and then reboots over and over again. When I unplug it, it shuts off. I can't even get it to boot into recovery or bootloader because it keeps rebooting every couple seconds.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Just a guess, but I think you're power button is shorting out. See what others think.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armandosal:
Yea I've seen it in another post. That doesn't explain why the phone keeps rebooting as soon as I plug it in. But I have noticed that for the past couple days, the power button was becoming really sensitive as in I would hit the power button to turn the screen off and then it would immediately turn the screen back on. But if its a hardware issue then there's nothing I can do but contact Google to send me a replacement.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
I think as soon as you plug it in the battery gets enough charge that it boots but then the power button shorts out and it reboots
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armandosal:
I tried tapping on the phone by the button and it turns on the phone for a little bit. Same thing if I wiggle the power button. I'm convinced that's the issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Weapondrift:
Out of curiosity, why are none of the devices in the forums listed alphabetically? Would this not make things easier to find?
[General Questions and Answers] akhilleus_:
It's arranged by popularity and amount of traffic in each subforum. I think it makes sense but I can see where you're coming from. If it's difficult to navigate, I suggest just doing a cntrl + F or and command + F depending on your OS. Are you not finding the device you want or are you just annoyed by scrolling?

It happens that starting some apps, closing it I'm not able to start it again and I have to do a Soft Reset to have them start again. I've tried to install them over main and Msd both...but it didn't solve the problem. This issue occurred with Core Player and Agendus for WM05. Did someone have the same problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jcb_home:
Have not tried Core media player on my phone yet, I thought there was a post somewere on here that said it was not working with the 8525.

Agendus just kept locking up me phone too. Didn't find a fix for it but it is a beta release. You should be reporting this bug to Iambic, thats what I did. Have not gotten a responce from then yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] srmz:
I do not have a Hermes but a universal. In case of my universal I have noted that whenever I use Opera 8.60 then after closing it I cannot start Planmaker or Textmaker or Netfront.

Tried installing Opera to main memory as well but to no avail.

To make sure that you can't get into recovery, hold in power and volume up, wait until you see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 logo and release power but not volume up. This should get you into recovery.

I've downloaded the drivers several times and tried on two Windows 7 machines. Every time the installation fails. I've downloaded from the Samsung site, from Koush's Helium site, and from a couple posts in these threads.

Is there another way to install the drivers?

I'm trying to update to 4.4.4, and I have a Chromebook available, is there a way to use that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnKuczek:
Solved!

As seems to always be the case, This bugs me for weeks, then I post about it, and then I solve it.

The solution for me was to connect the phone, set it to MDM mode, and then run Windows Update. It found one update, which didn't help, but after that there were two more updates that did. (Before you ask, before I did this I had already done all updates that applied to my laptop.)

My wife and I are thinking of upgrading our phones soon and I am wondering how much our phones are worth? I have seen those sites that offer $60... up to eBay saying $120 but thats without an unlocked bootloader or being rooted. I know the number of devices with unlocked bootloaders are getting slimmer and slimmer....so what do you think they are worth? I figured it might be worth more to an android enthusiest.

White 16gb

Rooted

Unlocked Bootloader

Good Condition

Thanks!

Or should I take the OTA and sell it like that? I have never sold a phone before:/

[Amazon Fire Phone] Dilbert1959:
Not a big problem, but one that will have you pulling your hair out until you discover the obvious. If you have root and install Playstore, disable automatic updates. Playstore will auto update the Kindle system app, creating all sorts of havoc. If you purchase a book from Amazon, it will not be deliverable to your fire phone, Send to my Kindle extension in Chrome will not work in Chrome browser, etc.

Simple fix: Go to Playstore on your Fire Phone and uninstall all updates to Kindle app and then disable automatic updates in settings in Playstore.

Then WITHOUT power cord attached, (it seems to make a difference) do a hard reset to phone by holding power button down until screen goes blank and Amazon icon appears, it may take 40 seconds.

Playstore will try to auto update anything that is stock on your phone or that you chose to install from Amazon appstore, so disabling auto update will save you headaches in other ways, too!

I got my lenovo a369i from a network supplier here in the Philippines,when I tried to do this update(what I mean is I updated my stock ROM to the latest firmware) it seems to erase my imei ,I never made a back up,I searched in so many forums like xda to recover my imei, but failed, is it possible that my provider blocked my phone from network access because I upgraded my ROM or is it just me that made a mistake for my phone to be bricked ?please responed.thanks,don't worry I won't ask how to unlock if am block,I just need to know if I was blocked..

I don't believe you were blocked. Good luck!!! :)
[General Questions and Answers] NiZEL:
Is it really possible to rewrite my imei? By the way ,I did the engineering mode doing the radio info,when I press send it does not respond,even failed to send msg does not show up, and by exploring the engineering mode I figured out that I don't have HSDPA /HSPA can't remember .. That is why I thought I am blocked.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Is it possible? Yes. But it is also illegal in many countries in the world.

Without the IMEI it won't register on the network. That is why it appears to be blocked. I would try flashing the stock software for the device but you may end up sending it in.
[General Questions and Answers] NiZEL:
What do you mean by sending it in ?I don't remember my stock ROM version before I flash the latest firware ,but when I had hard time figuring out how to rewrite my imei I was forced to downgrade it,then I chose the s108 version,should I be able to rewrite it if I can flash the right ROM when I bought my device ? I really appreciate your replies,I just tried the terminal emulator but it doesn't seem to work..I'll try mtk tools later.I post u the result
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Sorry I didn't know it used a mediatech chip. Those devices seldom have the stock firmware released.

When I say send it in I mean return it to where you got it.
