[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b3culet:
I am sorry, for not going through the entire Q&A threads. At the moment i got my phone back, and i figured that my battery wont last long. Some guy at my workplace told me that i should root my phone, so i'm a newbie if you can call me that.

My phone is from Germany, but i'm running on a romanian SIM ( Orange ). It's a S4 I9505 ( 4.4.2 ) version. Do i have to give you the Kernel version ... or something ? I have to root it, because, in my opinion, i need a long-lasting battery ( no bloatware ) and the option to customize my phone how i want.

Thanks for your time !

Hi there, i got it work with kitkat. I only install that one gearmanager1_2.apk file. Then it worked. I was very happy. Now i updated nexus 5 to lollipop and that gear manager isnt working anymore. It crashes. Have anyone else got same problem? How can we make it work?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anrois:
I have the same problem... I can only pair my gear s with my nexus for the phone and that s it.

Can someone give the entire tutorial to do it, I am quite lost with all the available version of the .apk, don't know wich one will works.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Best I have been able to figure out is gear manager isn't compatible with Lollipop as of yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] anrois:
New 5.0.1 update did it change something?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
I can't speak for the Gear S, but I have a Gear 1 and it works well with my S5 running on Lollipop.

So Gear Manager is actually LP compatible.

And if it works on an old smartwatch like the Gear 1, I assume it would work (or otherwise very soon) for a completely new smartwatch too.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Molotov91:
what is the version of Gear Manager you have installed in s5?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Mind uploading your version of gear manager, or at least posting which version you are running?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
I have version 1.7.112899 running on my S5 with Lollipop, which is (according to Galaxy Apps) the latest version.

Dated 10 december 2014

On my Gear 1 I have Null_23 rom running.

Not all notifications are showing with full preview (like Whatsapp or Gmail), but some apps show more info (like Facebook and LinkedIn)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
Mind uploading it? That version isn't listed on Brendos post, might be of help.

Thanks

I'm using Galaxy S4 with GPE ROM lollipop 5.0 and I can't pair my galaxy gear 2 neo watch :/ I get message HostManager stopped working.....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zelduy:
Do you mind sharing with us.. how you install this?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] speedme:
It's actually quite simple :

1, First I removed all apps that was Gear related.

2. Secondly I removed my Gear BT connection, both on phone and on the Gear.

3. Put the phone in Airplane mode or disable internet connection completely (both wifi and mobile data).

4. Then I installed an earlier version op Gear Manager (2.1.14071502) which was one of the last "full" installes before Samsung decided to remove the additional apps in the installer. Also in this version the full preview still worked.

5. Once installed, turn on BT and connect to the Gear. NOT ENABLE INTERNET YET !

6. When it has found the phone and Gear Manager is working, set up the notifications the way you want it. It won't tell you to update to newer version as it doesn't have any internet connection yet. Also make sure you disable automatic update in Gear Manager

7. When everything is set up completely, you can turn on internet connection(s)

8. When opening Gear Manager, it will most likely ask to update (as it now sees that an update is available). It's up to you if you want to update.

The older version has worked on my S5 for some time, but suddenly it stopped transferring the notifications to my Gear.

That's why I updated to latest version.

I hope this works on a Nexus 5, but it did work on my S5.

EDIT : screenshots of Gear Manager (latest) working on my S5 : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57727795&postcount=8

PLEASE give gear manager apk for instal manualy
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] edouble312:
It's not this simple.

You're running the latest S5 SAMSUNG 5.0, so you have lots of stuff in place that others don't. I tried your steps and it failed, it wouldn't even load Gear Manager for me.

For instance, I'm running a Note 4 (T-mobile US) on CM12... There's a big difference in Lollipop on your device and others'. I believe you have the only device that runs official Samsung Lollipop. I've tried loading Galaxy Apps, other touchwiz stuff, and installing Gear Manager many many different ways with no success.

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------

This is pretty much as far as you can get without an official Samsung Lollipop
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pavlos46:
Ok

Here is the latest version of the GM 2.2.141128 and apk 's all of them, even Saproviders and samsung store pay apk. I used build.prop twicks for S5 and tizen gear1 on a 5.0 lollipop gpe rom.

Unfortunately although GM didn't crash, it got stuck on the hostmanager apk fc.(haven't tryied null rom that uses the older host providers).

I just wanna try your .zip but I have a question: should I install all apps or copy them to system folder?

Galaxy S IV @ GE 5.0
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pavlos46:
Well thats the million dollar question, I haven't been able to understand the right mix, even tryied moving all to system with no luck.

Since you do have an s4 (it appears) I would suggest you first load samsung store, PAI and samsung service to system, reboot and try to login to the store.

If you succed try to look for GM in the store (for me it wasn't there) if its there download it and see where it takes you if not then only move gear manager and stub to system and then try to connect, theoretically it should auto download all required apps.

Let me know how it goes.

No working...

I can't install gear manager from galaxy app store..

I've tried to install apps from your zip but in that way galaxy manager crashes..

When I install

samsung_gear_2.2.141128_2114112899

I can open galaxy manager, but when I tried to connect watch HostManager crashes and I can't connect....

Edit:

I just set up my watch with my friend galaxy s4 (he is using touchwiz Rom) so at least I can use my gear 2 neo as a standard watch... waiting for Samsung to update galaxy manager or I will change it for android wear..

Any news about galaxy manager updates??

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Ducter:
I took a note 3, flashed to one of the leaked lollipop builds and did a full dump then got the gear running on it and did another full dump, took what appeared to have changed in the dumps and copied over the files, put in place on my lg g3 running cyanogenmod 12 along with gearmanager.stub and with and without gearmamager and still no go, foreclosed on connecting. I will stay at it when I get some more time but it's looking to be something already on the ROM that we need.

Dang...I am on Nexus 6 LP 5.x and hoping to get my Gear S working so looks like a waiting game?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] TRoN_1:
From what I have been reading, we need a Touchwiz Lollipop rom to get Gear Manager working. I tried everything I could find on this forum, but Gear Manager or it's supporting apps all crash on my Canadian S4 with GPE rom(JFLTE-GPE).

gear manager lollipop 5.1 nexus 5

not completely true... I have an unrooted nexus 5 running lollipop 5.1 connected to my gear 1 (null rom with touchwiz home) through gear manager. however the notifications apk keeps crashing. no notifications, no weather (though if i root it i suppose i could get weather if i rooted since i have seen that mod), no music control, no text reply-- through gear manager. I use the sprocket app here on xda to get notifications, reply to sms, get weather updates, control music youtube etc... find my phone is hit or miss- most galaxy gear android apps load and work just fine cnn, pocket, feedly, atooma. then there is tasgear app found on xda which i was using for a while to remote control my phone with watch... all in all a better experience then the first apple watch customers are going to get. The only thing i would like is to be able to pay with my watch....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] chike99:
I too have a Nexus 5 running lollipop 5.1 and Galaxy Gear 1 running the null rom, but I cannot get the phone to pair with the Gear. I only get bluetooth connection between the two but no pairing. What am I doing wrong? Could it be that I am using the wrong Gear Manager version or is there some other app I need to install? It worked fine when my phone was running KitKat, but since installing lollipop I no longer get pairing. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mkysar:
There are so many variables it's really hard to say. especially since there are so many versions of gear managers and some of those versions have different samsung apps "built in." I know that when i paired it was very tricky and required me to first

1. unpair or forget bluetooth connection from both phone and watch

2. clear gear manager data

3. you could also clear data from bluetooth share while your at it but im not sure that is nec

4. open up gear manager select "pair manually" or something like that

5. make watch bluetooth visible and select it from available devices

6. watch the little circle go around and pray to whatever god you believe in (or holding your breath sometimes works)

7. it will probably give you the option to restore or reset device if you are able to connect. (i think you may have to reset the first time) i choose reset and then had to go through the whole process again this time the watch was showing the original samsung animation.

8. pray again

9. it will ask you to acknowledge samsung blah blah blah on the phone, check the two boxes and hit o. k. with any luck you will have established your connection.

other things that are important/might help

1. watch needs to have the samsung gear connection software. there is an option in the null installer to not install it so make sure you have it...

2. gear manager stub needs to be installed. (i also put a copy of the apk in sdcard/gear folder just cause)

3. I used this gear manager (was going to post link but can't since im a junior member- but if you go to brendos xda page he will have a link to his downloads. one of which is gear manager.. version 1.6.132701

and its corresponding extracted apks (not all installed and some crashed like pedometer)

then i installed the gear1 plugin, connection manager,host manager from the next version of gear manager here

brendos download page manager version 1.7.031004

(if you download be sure to thank brendo as he is the man when it comes to gear apps)

thats all i can remember though i did try allot of things before it just finally worked. i have paired it using this method 3 different times so it is repeatable though very finicky. but once connected its good.

hope this helps

what version of gear manager are you running? is it stable? do any of the background apps crash? i might try to update my gear manager and see if it stays connected....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mertzi:
Instead of having instructions all over the place inside various threads I felt a clear guide should be available as it's own thread. Now since Google implemented this great feature (all hail google) where normal OTA's no longer work on Nexus devices with Android 5.0 that isn't 100% stock i.e. rooted with or without custom recovery a lot of people don't know how to update their devices.

IMO opinion the easiest way without losing any data is to use Fastboot and this is an attempt of a how-to-guide. This is made on a windows PC, probably works with other OS's too.

What you need:

1. You need ADB.exe and fastboot.exe inside an easy accessed folder i.e. put in c:\ADB.

The easiest way to get these are with this tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

You can also get this by installing the whole Android SDK but that is just a waste of bandwidth and time.

2. You also need to download the latest factory image for Nexus 5. Do this here: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-lrx22c-factory-0f9eda1b.tgz

3. You might need adb drivers but you'll have to find instructions for this by yourself.

The procedure:

1. Extract necessary files. The factory image you'll download is named hammerhead-lrx22c-factory-0f9eda1b.tgz

This is an archive which can be opened with an extractor of your choice e.g. 7-zip

Inside this archive is another file with no file type extension. Extract this file and rename it to whatyouwant.zip since it's a regular zip file. Then extract all files within this file (very meta with zips inside zips inside zips etc).

The files you need for updating with fastboot are:

system.img

boot.img

radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.22.img (rename this to radio.img for more convenience)

put all these files in the ADB folder (it will make things easier).

2. plug your phone to your PC. You need to have USB debugging activated in developer mode.

3. open a command prompt and orient yourself to the adb folder (c:\ADB)

4. type adb reboot bootloader and wait until your phone is in bootloader mode.

5. type fastboot flash system system.img and wait until it's finished.

6. type fastboot flash radio radio.img

7. type fastboot flash boot boot.img

8. reboot your device (type fastboot reboot).

Hopefully this will work and you will update without loosing any data. Then you can proceed with rooting, flashing custom recovery etc. This is easiest done with WUG nexus root toolkit (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389107)

I couldn't find any other guide's but if there's already one please remove this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Just a note, you don't need adb.exe at all, and the drivers are actually USB drivers.

Its also worth noting that 95% of us prefer to recommend users not use toolkits.

Also, you could simply say:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash radio radio.img

...then point them to the existing adb and fastboot thread which would have saved you writing all the installation stuff out.

Hey guys,

hope this is the right subforum for this, and apologise in advance for the lack of capital letters, can't figure out this foreign keyboard!

anyway, im from the uk and I am in the uae, I didn't unlock my phone to use on other networks before I left the uk. I was on three network in the uk. I asked three over a month ago for an unlock code, they eventually sent me one after 3 weeks. I tried it twice and it wouldn't accept the code. now after another 2 weeks they've told me that the phone cant be unlocked as it needs to be done in the uk so it can transmit over their network. is that correct? I don't see how as you have to put a different network sim in to get the unlock pop up. are they talking crap or do I need a new phone now im in uae?

thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Karoly17:
According to my experiences, what they are trying to sell you is bull****.

I was in the same situation in The Netherlands, paid a fortune in a shop, but they were able to unlock it by code after a week waiting period.

Ask them for another code, or worst case scenario, go to an independent gsm by yourself and request a code from them.

However, I would not recommend any online 'solution'.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyrdtrtle:
I haven't replaced a screen on the g2 or g3, but have on several other tabs and phones, and suggest you find one that is the entire screen assy LCD+digitizer+midframe bezel, it is so much easier and faster then trying to heat up the double sided tape enough to remove the three parts from each other. May add more to the price, but not as much as a replacement replacement screen. Trust me, I know it will lol

Then all the more reason to get the assembly, as wyrdtrtl pointed out, it's easier.

[General Questions and Answers] protivakid:
I have tried 3 different phones including my latest an LG G3. Whenever the phones connect to my Subaru radio, and the audio source is selected as bluetooth, the phone will automatically open the last audio app I had running (Podcast Addict, MixZing, etc.) and start playing where it left off. I have looked all over for options and so far only found one to "not resume playback after phone call." While this prevents any audio playing when I hang up, I don't want audio to start playing just because my phone connected to the car's bluetooth either.

How do I disable this?! Hoping I can do it form the phone end. Saw no way to do it from the car's radio.
[General Questions and Answers] protivakid:
No one?
[General Questions and Answers] ShadowLea:
N7player has a setting called "Resume after Plugin" under Headset controls. I think that's what you're looking for. (Since it sees a bluetooth radio as a headset).
[General Questions and Answers] chrisl300:
I think i have this problem too.

I have BBC iPlayer app, and I tend to use it to listen to live radio, over wi-fi when I wake up in the morning. Then I close the app and usually swipe it away.

When I drive I often use Google Maps or Sygic app as a Sat Nav, and connect the phone to my car stereo via Bluetooth so the audio is routed through the car stereo. Often I also listen to music from Google Music (downloaded only), and that works well, with the music being muted automatically for voice instructions. But when I don't want to listen to music, and just have the voice through the radio it keeps starting up BBC iPlayer Radio which then uses up my data allowance. If I wanted to listen to the radio I would use the car radio. Having read this thread I guess it is starting BBC iPlayer because it is the last audio app that was being used.

I noticed today that even if I stop the app, and swipe it away, if RDS TA (FM Traffic Announcements) break into the audio, when they end or I cancel them, the BBC iPlayer app starts up again.

I don't want to be having to keep stopping it while I am driving. I hoped there was some way of stopping it.

I have read and appears that I have to downgrade but I am not sure. Please advise

[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
What you read is correct. You have to downgrade to 10b to root. After that, if you want to go back to 12b rooted, do NOT bump with TWRP. Instead, tell SuperSU to maintain root across OTAs and then take each OTA as it comes. When you are finally on 12b, you can either leave it as is (not bumped) or install TWRP to bump it. Reason you cannot bump is because you need the stock recovery (not TWRP) to install the OTAs.
