[Samsung Gear S] snpg:
I've been trying

I want to know this too. I have tried on mine and it doesn't see the device. The bluetooth screen does but when you click on it, it says it is not a supported device.

I've also altered the build.prop file but still no joy.

I read that a guy got it to work on a Tab S LTE, which would indicate it may only be the LTE versions of the tablets that work. If not, I don't see why the Tab S would work.

I have e-mailed Samsing support and also posted a message on their support site, although I reckon I'll get a stock reply of "It is only supported on the following Samsung phones......".
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
Per their own How To guide, it is supposed to work with tablets. What I don't understand is why they won't list which tablets are compatible. It's the most basic info a manufacturer should provide.

Let me know if they answer you. I'll contact them as well and ask for a full compatibility list, since there are even a bunch of cheap Galaxy phones that may not work with it, meaning, KK+"Galaxy" in the device name is not enough of an inidicator.
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
On FB, someone from Samsung Support states that all Samsung devices with android 4.3 and above are compatible.

You may want answer them there and get to the bottom of this.
[Samsung Gear S] snpg:
Got it working!!!

Right, after fiddling about and thanks to user bqwd36 who posted instructions for the Tab S in Chinese which I translated and just took a bit of, my Gear S is now working with my Tab 4 7.0 (T230). This may also work for any other Samsung tablet that can run Gear Manager.

Right, here's what you need to do which basically involves changing the build.prop file, so you may have to root your tablet to do it (there is a guide on the XDA Tab 4 forum - go with the TWRP method as it worked first time).

1) Install an older version of Gear Manager, I used version 2.0.14040401.

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager#e7h23e12rzesi

2) Make sure you have enabled bluetooth on your Gear S and that you have ticked so it can be seen by other devices (you may not need to do this if yours is not activated yet).

3) Open the Gear Manager app and scan, you should see the Gear S appear in the list. DON'T click on it as you don't want to do anything with the Gear S yet.

4) You now need to edit the build.prop file (I recommend using ES File Explorer). In build.prop change the following entries so they are:

ro.product.model=SM-N900

ro.build.characteristics=phone

5) Now reboot your Tab 4.

6) Open the Gear Manager app and check it can still see your Gear S (you may need to turn on bluetooth again so it is visible if you already have an active Gear S).

7) Now open Galaxy Apps and install the latest version of Gear Manager.

8) Open the Gear Manager app and the Gear will still be seen.

9) Now go ahead an click on the entry and setup your phone (it will wipe your Gear S).

Everything works as it does if it was being done on a phone. The only thing you need to remember is that as the tablet does not have a phone app, it means that the Gear S cannot make or receive calls when you have it connected via bluetooth to the tablet. Once you turn off bluetooth on the tablet the Gear S will automatically change itself so it can do calls.

You can now change the build.prop back to it's original settings if you want as the Gear Manager will continue to work with the Gear S.

The other thing is that the Remote Connection (where you can get notifications like e-mail from your tablet over the internet) worked the first time. When I changed the build.prop back to it's original settings it wouldn't do it, and hasn't since I then went and changed the settings back to the ones above. I just need to have another play.

Thanks for posting.

Tab 4 pairing with Gear S

I also have a new Tab 4 (the NOOK edition) , you have made a great discovery making the Gear app work with the 'S", i am not familar enough with the procedure with editing the files mentioned,

is there a tutotrial for doing this, i am trying to learn more about it, thanks for your posts.
[Samsung Gear S] butopia:
Could someone explain what the purpose of pairing the Gear S with the phone or tablet is?

I was talking to a Samsung rep at Best Buy tonight and he indicated that you could pair with a tab 4 that was NOT a phone and did NOT have a data plan (ie wifi only tablet). What I don't understand is how the Gear S becomes "activated" to send and receive calls if it is not being paired with a device that has a sim, a phone number and IS able to make calls. I have an iPhone 5S and it seems there are some things going on to make forwarding of calls from an existing phone to the Gear S possible. I've read other threads that it is possible to pair with a non-samsung device and you'd think they would make it easy to do this to sell more Gear Ss. Thanks in advance for explanation.
[Samsung Gear S] xendula:
The purpose is so you can install apps and forward notifications. My Gear S has a SIM card and its own phone number anyway, and yeah, call forwarding would not work.
[Samsung Gear S] nosco4139:
pairing gear s with your tab 4

Watch the you tube video on "how to pair gear s with any phone" it will have you reset the phone then go through a series of taps on the screen. After that you will be able to pair your gear s to your tab 4 (or any phone/tablet).

pardon the necropost

you need to set your root folder to rw from ro
[Samsung Gear S] ChardC:
No intention for any duplication and absolutely no plagiarism, authorship is legitimate.

1. Tab S or Tab 4 must be rooted (you should head over to the forum where one of our spectacular devs would have done a write up on it)

2. Obtain Android a build.prop editor or in my case, I use Android Tuner (Free Version: http://www.3c71.com/atfree - Pro Version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at&hl=en)

3. Using the above applications, use the menu/tool to edit the build.prop. I this instance, I am unsing Android Tuner, so I will go over to the first page to select "Build.prop editor", select it by tapping on the button. First things first, click the backup button to save your existing build.prop file. Don't ever progress into modifications, without having a backup or recovery method. Once you have completed all of the above, here are the edits you need to make in the edit by simply click on the pen (blue/white icon) for each key).

Please note, I am having my Tab S indicate its the SM-N900P (Sprint Variant of Note 3), however, you can choose any other smartphone of you liking, once you know the details of the keys indicated below).

key: ro.build.characteristics

value: phone

key: ro.build.product

value: hlte

key: ro.product.device

value: hlte

key: ro.product.model

value: SM-N900P

4. Once you have completed edits for the aforementioned keys, verify your changes, then save your build.prop with your editor or in the case of Android Tuner, you're all good and just need to reboot your device.

5. Once your device completes the reboot and you're back on the Android platform, clear the data for your Galaxy Apps, before proceeding to the store. Once cleared, you will be able to download Gear Manager, Gear Fit or other application may not ordinarily have on a tablet.

6. Go over to your Bluetooth, add a new device (your gear should be reset to factory settings in order to pair with another device, so you will need to complete this step if you want to proceed with pairing the Gear S with the Tab S or Tab 4 and probably any other tablet device.

7. Follow the normal pairing settings and everything will go accordingly, gear manager will launch, the device will pair with the Gear S and continue to installing all prerequisite apps).

8. You have completed the pairing of your Gear S with your Tab S or Tab 4.

Feel free to reach out for assistance if you are having difficulty with any of the steps above and always remember, before proceeding, backup your devices.

Troubleshooting

If you realize any issues with launching settings on your Tab S or Tab 4 after making the aforementioned changes in the build.prop file, revert to the following and save.

key: ro.build.characteristics

value: tablet

Reboot and everything should be back to normal, without the loss of functionality.
[Samsung Gear S] gdraanen:
Thx, worked like a charm on my 8" Tab4 (sm335). Pairing over bt with iPhone6+ is also confirmed (after removing a directory on gearS).

In that case, the Tab4 is still 'remote connected' (i.e. updates and s-voice continues to work) while the Gear-S plays nice as well with my iPhone.

Note ... i have the Gear-S modified with the StarTrek theme and iOS8 icons.

The Gear-S can work on its own, with the tab4 for management, and with iphone for call-forward/ bt connect.

Worked for me! You are a ****ing genius, I just have one note! I kept my buildprop the same because I didn't want to mess with it. My question to you is, did you get any addition applications to install because I could not successfully complete that task. -AP

Worked, but now cannot open the "galaxy apps" app

I followed the instructions and was able to pair the watch to the device. However since doing so I am unable to open the "Galaxy Apps" app and download any apps for the watch. I get the dreaded "unfortunately, galaxy apps has stopped" message. I have tried all the normal t/s for this (clearing cache, data, etc). But no dice, so I cannot download any apps to the watch. :(

[Samsung Gear S] Revbsclark:
To clarify, are you connected to your galaxy tab to manage and install apps as well as your iPhone to make calls and receive notifications?

If so much can you share how?

I currently have mine paired with my HTC one and can receive calls and notifications, but cannot install any apps. I would love to be able to do so with my tablet, but was afraid I would lose the ability to make calls and receive notifications from my phone.

Thanks in advance!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] robusto:
Hey folks!

Just registered to the XDA-developers and my first post is here :)

I got an extremely rare windows mobile 5 pda-phone BenQ-Siemens P51 to my hands from my friend, whos father worked in Siemens during the BenQ-Siemens bankrupt.

Cool phone, bit too big tho, pretty cool functions, GPS, 1,3 mpx camera etc... But...

ITS ALL IN TAIWANESE LANGUAGE! Some kind of beta-prototype which works perfectly but splash screen is "Evaluation Only" . I don't think that this affects any way to the performance.

So i kindly ask you for advice:

Is it possible to upgrade this brilliant phone to new OS, English version of the crossbow beta. I've downloaded crossbow, tried to patch it with a program called ROMUpgradeUt.exe, but the upgrade doesn't end successfully. An error message appears to the screen, think it was #101 or #201. Im having problems sometimes with activesync when the phone is recognized as 'usb device' and active sync doesnt recognize it then. Some other times when i boot with usb in the P51, active sync pairs it and ican syncronize.

I Hope that somebody could kindly help me, since im not in the mood for throwing away hardware this expensive. I just want to get rid of the taiwanese language and start using this as a PHONE.

So please, if possible could give me specific instructions how to upgrade OS to different language.

Cheers and thanks in advance (sorry for my poor english!)

So for any wear users out there -- how's your experience been with wear devices and Android 5.0?

I don't use custom watch faces or a large number of apps, so to me looks like very little changed. I do however remember I could answer the incoming phone call (on the phone) with the swipe from the wear device on KitKat and I don't see that option in Lollipop.

What's changed for you guys, for better or worse?
[Nexus 5 General] kidrobot52:
They released an update that fix this issue. Other then that all seems the same you can snap a photo from your watch.

[Micromax Canvas A1] Sidharth12:
Hello,

I am a bit confused, people say here that after update to Android L, the boot loader will change and there is no way to downgrade. If by any chance 5.0 shows some issues then there would be no way back, While some others say that by flashing the android L rom with any recovery you can always go back.

So please say me which is better ? Flashing or OTA ?

If ota, then is there any way to downgrade.

I'm a new user and want to play with custom roms, while still want to taste the lollipop.

Please help !

Every time I uninstall supersu (using built-in uninstall, deleting sys/xbin, and using the universal unroot tool), on reboot, supersu is reinstalled. I flashed a stock RUU (dottat's) and turned S-ON and relocked bootloader.

I was going to take my phone into Verizon for repair, but at it's current unrootable, modified state, I don't think that will be possible.

Is there any way that I can successfully unroot? Or am I SOL?

Did you follow what I told you to do in tigertown's thread? You need to run my s-on RUU exe. The S-on will flash while S-on (obviously) and it does not have SU in /system. You will be 100% stock afterwards.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hompen:
Hi guys,

I have some serious problems with my home wifi.

I'm on ViperOne 3.1.0 connected to a FritzBox 6360 and a 32MBit internet connection.

But I have the problem, that the wifi connection is extremely slow. In the FritzBox web interface the HTC One M8 is displayed with a 1 MBit connection even if I stand right in front of my router with a perfect signal. So I think exactly this is the problem for my slow connection.

After a reboot of my mobile the wifi connection is fine for some minutes, I think till the phone goes to sleep, after that same game again.

I played with the wifi optimization and the standby option in the wifi advanced options but with no luck.

Other clients like my old HTC Sensation or an iPhone 5c or my Laptop are working fine with the wifi, so i believe the phone is the problem not the router.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi mate, turn to you after having found no solution to my problem by searching the Internet.

I have a rooted S4 i9500 4.4.2 KitKat and always with TouchWiz based ROMs because it turns out to flash any AOSP based ROM directly IMEI, IMEI SV and Baseband me listed as UNKNOWN.

I tried to solve the following ways:

1) formatting the partition EFS and restoring my EFS Backup.

2) changing modem.

3) flashing stock firmwares.

I would appreciate some help since reading the forum I found some user's with the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: back to TW based ROM and IMEI, IMEI SV and Baseband works fine, no problem.

SOLVED! SOLVED! SOLVED!

1. Install Root Explorer. Give root access.

2. Go to Root. Select EFS folder and choose the option "Change owner".

- For options Owner and Group select "1001- radio".

- Tick the box "Also set on all sub-folder".

- Press Ok.

3. Select EFS folder and choose the option "Permision".

- Enter Octal set them to "0755" and press Ok.

- Tick the box "Also set on all sub-folder and files". Also automatically tick the box "Don't set execute on child files".

The permissions should be this way:

rwxr-xr-x
