[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
It is a limitation of Android Wear (and so not specifically this rom) that you can only pair 1 watch to 1 phone.

So it is not possible to pair 1 watch to 2 phones.

However, you can pair 2 different watches to 1 phone.

There used to be a program called "BeeLink" which claimed to be able to pair 1 watch to 2 phones, but I never managed to let it work well.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
I think he means that he has two phones and he tested the Gear 2 with both of the phones, and the problem still persisted.
[Samsung Gear 2] Dr.Di0NiS:
That's right! I tested ONE watch with TWO phones, but the problem is manifested on both devices. Sorry for my English, I use a translator.

[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Reboot watch and don't use phone functions from watch ie saying call xxxxxx or using the app. If still doesn't work repeat reboot but first make sure under bluetooth options that call audio is unchecked.

There is something going wrong with bluetooth when calling is used biktor_gj is aware of and working on it.

Anyone else notice that notifications go away with the Zenwatch beta? They disappear after a time, which is why I've gone back to the previous beta.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
No, I sometimes get notifications just after I go to bed (phone is silent mode) and they are there in the watch when I check it 6 - 9 hours later.

Outlook and Android Wear

Guys, the Outlook app works with Android Wear

http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/15/11441994/microsoft-outlook-android-wear-smartwatch-support..

Features: "....check any notifications that pop, pore over messages, and use pre-set responses or voice dictation to bang out a quick reply...." Really great!

You sir are absolutely correct. I have BOTH my Gear 1 (rooted w/ Null23 & TWRP) & Gear 2 Neo (MM Beta 6Rev.) both

connected to my Galaxy S7 Edge and S4 and Note4. The Gear 1 use Samsung Gear app to connect and obviously Gear 2 Neo is using Android wear app to connect thanks to [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION]
[Samsung Gear 2] speedme:
I used to own a Gear 1 with Null_23 rom too and with that rom it was easy to connect the watch to 2 phones at the same time (using the Gear Manager).

So I was a little disappointed when I got my Gear 2 to found out that it could only connect with 1 phone at the same time

(I own a private phone and business phone and it can be very handy to connect to both phones at the same time).

So I decided to purchase a 2nd hand Moto 360 to connect to my business phone during business hours.

And I use my Gear 2 to connect to my private phone during off-business hours.

I tried using "BeeLink", which claims that it can connect 1 watch with 2 phones...but that messed up my watch more than I wanted.

So up untill now I'm still looking for a way to connect my beloved Gear 2 with 2 phones.

I hope this will be a (near) future feature in a AW update.

I just got a new phone and had some BT issues when out of range for a longer time, on return and the phone would not connect to the watch.

I found this app and it solved my small issue.

Just want to say thank you! After 2 days of searching I found this thread. It's very cool. I don't have any Samsung devices but the watch and I got a really good deal and really wanted it to work. I had the 5.1 build it was really stable now I have the 6 build and it's stable enough to be my daily driver. Do the other 3 builds b4 the latest have anything different? The only thing I don't like is all my faces open up calories burnt in wellness instead of fit. New with watches but I play with ROMs every other day. Anyway to delete the Zen watch apps?? Not a deal breaker if not. Thanks again for giving this watch some life!!!

About that "screen tearing apart"

It happens not only in ambient mode, but also when you scroll or something like it (or it simply happens all the time). The same issue exists in Galaxy S3's CM 13, and I think it might be a FB problem. I'll try if I can capture a screenshot.

im having the same issue, my watch will no longer connect with my phone for some reason

Factory reset solves this. Had the same after installing the last beta.

Connects fine, updates etc, but at first disconnect, no more connect.

After factory reset and re-connect, it kept working

Same here I've just given up till further updates. I just use the watch as stand alone . and unpaired it from my phone as it keeps asking me to pair but doesn't pair correctly
[Samsung Gear 2] veriluxxxx:
i figured it out and had to go into the recovery boot mode and then wipe it/factory reset it that way through the teamwin loader
[Samsung Gear 2] Penguin_be:
Correct ;) The default wipe does not work, it must go via TWR

[Samsung Gear 2] Penguin_be:
You want to drain your battery as fast as you can? :)

If you want accurate heart rate metering while exercising, use a breast heart rate monitor. The app I use with it is runtastic.

The watch heart rate monitor only works "accurate" when not moving.

First off please read before posting all of your questions can be found on this board. second I think you want sound notifications if so you need to download and install smartwatch notifications app search here and you should find the info you will have to sign up for a beta to be able to get it from the Play Store.

If your looking for phone calls from watch go back to tizen BIKTOR is working hard to try to get this working on the new beta. But as described in earlier posts phone calls from watch not operational yet.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
15 to 20 minutes. I did not have it on the old phone, but on the new phone I do. Old phone was a Samsung S4 Active with bluetooth 4.0 and the Nexus 6 is bluetooth 4.1. and the Gear 2 Neo is bluetooth 4.0, LE.

Maybe the difference in BT spec might cause it on the port, who knows, even though the newer BT 4.1 is backward compatible with older specs. Regardless, the Bluetooth Auto Connect app solves the issue.
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Are you using smart wear notifications? If so you may need to Uninstall and reinstall the app that's what fixed it in a previous pay.

If not try a factory reset then reflash then another factory reset.

Absolute worse case flash tizen then flash beta 6.

Regarding on-watch working phone

[MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] ---------

was wondering if maybe this was a possible solution (or a step towards one) in getting working phone on Gear 2 / Gear 2 Neo. I have a Gear 1 (SM-V700) and the phone on watch works perfect and like both the Gear 2 & Gear 2 Neo were all Tizen based OS (originally Gear 1 was not Tizen based but eventually made to update to Tizen OS) until people like yourself got creative and worked their magic. My Gear 1 is now Rooted w/ Trwp Recovery (identical to Recovery used here) and it is running Null_23 rom with 100% WORKING GOOGLE PLAYSTORE ON WATCH which you use just as you would on your phone. MY POINT IS THIS----

1. WATCH NOT TIZEN ANYMORE

2. APPS ARE .APK'S EITHER FROM PHONE OR DOWNLOADED DIRECTLY ON WATCH (JUST LIKE PRESENTLY-DOWNLOAD ON PHONE SHOWS ON WATCH)

3. PHONE WORKS 100% MAKING, USING, DIALING (TALKING AND LISTENING- CLEAR NO DIFF. IN CLARITY FROM THAT OF PHONE)

********HERE IS WHAT I WAS WONDERING**********

WITH HAVING NULL_23 ROM MAKING GEAR 1 AS CLOSE TO A FULLY FUNCTIONING ANDROID (OS) AND YOUR ROMS MAKING OUR WATCHES ANDROID BASED, THEN IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOLUTION TO HAVING / GETTING A WORKING USABLE PHONE ON THE GEAR 2 / GEAR 2 NEO LAYS SOMEWHERE IN THE SIMILARITIES OF BOTH YOUR ROMS AND THAT OF THE NULL_(1-23) ROMS RELATIONSHIP IN REPLACING THE TIZEN (OS) IN BOTH CASES WITH CURRENT (OS) RUNNING EACH PRESENTLY?************

******If I am not completely ridiculously out of my mind and maybe on to something or if you think "hum, sounds like a good theory, but only problem is I don't have original Gear to play around with" then I would send you mine if it gets to that point.

*****Again, this just seemed like a valid idea that I had while updating my original Gear Manager app yesterday and forgot it was connected to phone when I got a call and used it to talk then when call ended came up with the above post.

FOR THE RECORD---------I am NOT nor KNOW HOW to make or create anything when dealing with any part of said watches or phones. THIS IS JUST A THOUGHT / QUESTION to pass on to you [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] and see if in fact it is A POSSIBLE OTHER WAY to look for a solution to phone issue on watch. What do you think?
[Samsung Gear 2] biktor_gj:
[MENTION=6393555]mlips821[/MENTION] oh... If only it could be that easy ;)

The idea, in itself, is not bad, but you missed a very important detail... Versions!

Null rom for the gear 1 is Android 4.3, and Android Wear is Android 6. It simply does not boot with libraries that old! It's one of the reasons why I haven't picked a gear1 to play with... Kernel is v3.0 which is not old, but ancient, and libraries didn't work even with android 4.4, even less possibilities with Android Wear 6.

I think I'm near the source for bluetooth audio malfunctions, though not so sure if near a resolution. A lot of work and personal stuff too, so I've stopped working on everything (both watches) for some weeks...

I've cleaned up all the audio settings, but an issue seems to remain, which I think, comes to the sampling rate (that's where I think the noise comes from). I think the phone is sending audio at 16khz and audio libraries are decoding at 8khz, it's the only thing that seems to make sense, so audio ends up getting corrupt and clipped along the way.

Since all this is closed source I'm not sure on what can I do to fix it, but I'll keep trying once I have a little more time :)
[Samsung Gear 2] mlips821:
like I said just a thought / Idea that popped up, I figured you would know if feasible. you said that majority of the problem with what I said is the fact that Null Rom is based on Android 4.3, would or could it help if you had a working LOLLIPOP BASED ROM for the Gear 1? could that help at all?

P.S. - also this was all just a big "what if" kind of idea and don't want you to think or hope you don't think I was / am trying to in a subtle way have you keep looking for a working phone fix. Personally, could really care one way or the other because I am just amazed at what you have done already for myself and everyone in thread. I by no means EXPECT any more from you than what you have already generously given and I know you have a life to live outside of XDA and this thread that needs your attention more than we do here. Hope all is good in your life outside of this thread and again thank you for everything.
[Samsung Gear 2] erwata:
answer calls and talk in 6.0?

You may get answer and talk calls from the watch?

And this two apps of the zenwhatch can I remove them?
[Samsung Gear 2] pera987:
Yeah, can we remove zen apps?
[Samsung Gear 2] nrosier:
I've removed them. IIRC this should do it:

connect your watch to your PC

run adb remount (to mount /system read/write)

run adb shell and remove whatever app you want to get rid off. IIRC they are in /system/app or /system/priv-app

Do this at your own risk. Don't blame me if your watch doesn't work anymore. :p

You can always re-flash the firmware if it does.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Why bother, it's a beta version!
[Samsung Gear 2] pera987:
I know, but if I don't use it, and have way to remove it, why not..

Hi,

first of all thank you [MENTION=803006]biktor_gj[/MENTION] for your amazing work.

You make our not so old but already outdated wears shine again !

I have a gear 2 Neo and install beta 4 and noticed only two issues :

- shake event is not triggered in autowear (as already mention by one member before)

- after a few hours, the phone loose the access to the storage. This has two impacts, the custom watch made by watchmaker disappears from watch and can't be sent back and wearmedia can't copy new files anymore. I could though resent the music files by restarting the transfer for Wearmedia but not for watch.

It has been working for a few hours before crashing suddenly (while up and running, not after a boot).

Other than that, it's *very* nice. A few blanks cards and I don't use my watch to make calls but paired a BT headset and could play through wearmedia files copied into my watch. I could also play them through watch HP.

Regards,

Zeftp
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Try beta 6

Beta 6 looks like 4 from main page zen watch image works the best auto wear shake still doesn't work but less blank cards and shouldn't lose access to storage. You may try reflashing I haven't seen the link to storage on my gear 2 neo yet had some weird issues and reflashEd then all was well.

release as Gear2_Wear6_Rel6 !?
[Samsung Gear 2] Roux84:
This is the latest Version from Biktor, this one is the best right now
[Samsung Gear 2] zeftp1:
When I said beta 4, it's related to the first post :

so it's Beta 4 (but the file itself says rel6 :eek:).

It all case, I am using the last version and my comments are for the latest release.

NB : it should be 4th of April, not March if I followed the thread correctly.
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Main page March 4th

The main page March 4th technically beta 4 is the latest I am aware of biktor is working on a new release currently to try and fix audio issues for calls from watch when he finds time. Issue is with bit rate and may be hard to fix as issue is with a closed source.
[Samsung Gear 2] mikle_01:
No - the release 6 was the latest....
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Latest

Yeah that's the link labeled march 4th on first page of thread technically beta 4 but biktor called it beta 6 before he posted all 4 on the main page and yes you are correct it is labeled Gear2_Wear6_Rel6 in this ver he fixed the tts and added kernel settings and the iR blaster from cracksmurf.

Anyway, I don't have bluetooth settings anymore. I did hard reset (from Wear app, from watch settings and also from recovery) and reflashed twice. Still, there's no bluetooth. Any solution please?
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
No bluetooth

Are you saying bluetooth doesn't show at all or just the phone audio check box
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
Yep, I don't have bluetooth settings in watch settings
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Partition corruption is what I would suspect. Try flashing tizen then go back to latest. The tizen should fix your partitions. Also you may also be sure to forget watch in wear app as well as unpairing in phone bluetooth settings before flashing rel6.
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
I will try with another rc (beta)6 flash and then, if it still won't work, I will go with Tizen. Thanks. Oh, yes I did all the things you mentioned (unpair, forget watch, hard reset before and after...)
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
I dont have bluetooth settings either, I thought it is because I am paired to iOS. Are you connected to an iPhone?
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
Hm... Is recovery usable for formating and wiping? Because I tried every single command and my watch is still the same - with all apps...
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Then definitely sounds like partition corruption.
[Samsung Gear 2] Alxoom33:
Use TWRP Recovery on the watch the same way as on your phone.
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
TWRP

Not too sure about the formatting I believe it works, but doesn't fix the partition structure like the tizen build does. When you perform a factory reset your apps should clear from the watch. I would just try the tizen flash then jump to reload 6 shouldn't take more than an hour to finish the whole process.

---------- Post added at 02:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 AM ----------

Looks like he has a samsung note 4 based on his tag at end of post. You should also have bluetooth settings on the watch as you can pair a headset to the watch itself. Thus eliminating the phone from the equation.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
ah. I dont have bluetooth settings either, on iOS. But, I was paired with an android phone before, with beta 1 (based off of Gear Live). Is this an iOS or zenwatch rom limitation, or partition corruption?
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
I have Bluetooth settings in the latest Rel 6 that is Zenwatch based.

I just got a new phone two weeks back and had a crazy time pairing the watch to it. Was getting almost constant FC, Play Service error, etc. I finally went into TWRP, did a factory reset, then wiped everything, and I mean

everything

, booted to download mode, flashed with Odin, then booted back to TWRP, did a factory reset and wiped

everything but /system

.

It has been rock solid stable, no FC, not problems at all. About 30-36 hours battery life. No ambient, gestures on, and it goes 24 hours a day with sleep tracking at night and automatic heart rate testing every hour. Solid! Like. a. ROCK.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
I guess it's an iOS limitation, then.
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
No, phone OS can't add or remove functions which are built into the watch OS. Maybe some things won't work with iOS, but Bluetooth settings should still be there,so it must be corrupted partition. I tried to wipe everything with TWRP but nothing happened. All things remaining on the watch. So, like [MENTION=6556485]odoyle59[/MENTION] said - go to Tizen then flash rc6 again and it should be OK.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
No, Android Wear for iOS removes a lot of functionality like messaging on watch and google cloud sync (not this watch of course, but other watches with wifi)
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Now I can see that with Android Wear for iOS. The AW app on the phone will not remove features on the watch ROM.

The question was about Bluetooth settings on the watch, and those are part of the ROM biktor released and we flash with Odin. If they don't exist on the watch, there is a flash error.
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
This is iOS and Wear app on iOS limitation, not OS on the watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
Yes, that is what I am saying. I thought it was partition corruption, but it's just a limitation with iOS. I paired to an android phone, and bluetooth settings showed up again.
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Wow I'm kinda surprised that it gets rid of it completely I would assume that you would still be able to pair a headset to the watch itself, I get the call audio not being there, but makes sense there is lots of data being sent to the watch when you pair with the phone and with apple trying to protect there 350 dollar watch as well as being a closed source os im sure they put limitations on what googles baby could have access to. In the case of the original issue as I assume I was correct that we were working with an Android based phone. Thanks for the useful info officer dale.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
For now, I have found a solution. Downloading the Advanced Settings app and sideloading it onto my watch, I get the bluetooth settings portion of my watch back.
[Samsung Gear 2] zviki:
No, I don't believe that. In the previous build even wifi settings was there and our watch don't have it. Maybe bluetooth for watch can disappear on iPhone, but not on watch.

Anyway, my phone is Android phone and there's no bluetooth on my watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] odoyle59:
Bluetooth

I think the wifi had to be there to make it function and our watches actually have wifi hardware in them but is dormant but there would probably suck the battery dry.

Either way try the tizen fix for partitions and let us know how it goes.
[Samsung Gear 2] Officer_Dale:
It is possible. Since iOS limits many functions, Android Wear just hides it. On iOS, a whole tab is missing on Android Wear.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
Look on the watch itself, not Android Wear.
[Samsung Gear 2] Pkt_Lnt:
[MENTION=1453197]zviki[/MENTION] look at the picture of my Gear 2 Neo linked to a Nexus 6 above.

From post #1

The early ones showed wifi, because the Gear Live had a wifi chip.

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/07/08...ixit-has-a-wi-fi-chip-inside-for-some-reason/

Just because there is a wifi chip, does not mean the watch has wifi, because the antenna was left out.

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015...-wi-fi-chips-but-some-wont-get-wi-fi-support/

Now that the new versions are based on Zenwatch that does NOT have a wifi chip, you will not see wifi settings.
