Hello,
I'm thinking about buying a Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, but there's one thing that holds me away from buying it:
I don't know whether it's possible to get an automatical two way call recording functionality of ordinary calls or not.
Does two way call recording work?
Help appreciated!
Yes, it works with a rooted phone, Flash Gordon, and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412645
If/when you get the phone and need help doing it, PM me and I'll walk you through it

Thanks for your helpful reply! One more question (I saw the call recording button on your link). Does it also work automatically for every call once it is set up?
No, but it is a simple matter of pressing a button. I've tried it several times and it works really well

You said you're rooted, so that's good. Do you have Flash Gordon or SafeStrap installed? Have you followed the instructions in the thread that my-blue-snog-box linked to?
We need a little more information to help you like what phone do you have (i537 or i9295)? You said you can't get it to work, how so? Is it failing to flash or does the button not show up, or is it not recording anything?
The recordings are located on your internal SD, in the "sounds" folder if that helps.

I rooted mine yesterday and actually unrooted it after a mod.
Today while listening to music through bluetooth and browsing using the Android browser, the walkman app kept crashing. It shows as playing but stops the music and when you reopen it, it's lost where it was, having to choose the music from the beginning.
Not sure if this is connected to rooting, just wanted to post to see if any others experienced such issues.

ok thanks. I cleaned up the cache/history etc on the browser and it seemed ok but then again happened. And when it happens the Walkman App is not even on the running list of the apps. I have smart connect setup with my bluetooth headset with time specifics.
Need to do some more testing if it happens on any websites or a particular site and without smart connect running as well.

My Arc does that, Walkman closes when I browse the internet at the same time. It's related to rooting or flashing in some fashion, I haven't figured out what the problem is.

still got a locked bootloader, but it says that it doesn't matter in the thread
for some reason i can't get the bootloader unlucked the sony way, because i can't find the directory of SDK in windows 8
For those of you who have this problem, here is a potential band-aid:
When I installed the Galaxy Gear apk on my phone and tried to connect it to the Gear it would try to install 19 items / fail then try to connect to the watch, pair and then disconnect never actually finishing.
I finally got it working by going into the Gear Directory on my phone and running the APK's in that Directory using a file manager, the one which seems to have done the trick is "SAccessoryService_signed.apk", after running that it finally allowed gear to connect and stay connected.
Once you get gear connected you'll likely want some new apps, I installed several from here

Hope it helps
Thanks!
You sir, are a lifesaver! I will test this in the morning, but I can confirm the Signed.APK installs. Thanks!
I installed the signed.apk, but how do I actually run it? Mine still doesn't connect :/

Still having issues
SO, I got to my Gear this morning and tried this solution, but I am still having issues. I cant get through the setup and I keep getting "connection failed" even after I run the Signed APK. Anyone have any idea? I see others have it working so I must be doing something wrong.
I am on CM 10.2-20130920 which is Android 4.3.

Can't see that program even after I install the APK in the Gear folder. The only things I see that may be relevant are The Gear Manager APK and the Samsung Accessory Service in the All programs list in settings. I keep getting Bluetooth to connect on the watch (says connected for a second then goes to the spinning watch/device animation), but after a while of the animation on both the phone and watch a message on the phone comes up with "Can not connect". After that point the bluetooth connection seems lost and the Gear Manager asks to connect with the watch again.
SO, I figured it might be my CM 10.2 nightly build on my phone and installed the stable CM 10.1.3 build. Sadly, the same error is happening,:crying:
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Could your post SAccessoryService_signed.apk Im unable to locate it in my directory. Want to try to upgrade to 4.3 Liquid Smooth and see if installing this APK would do the trick because previously I was getting device not supported, but working on 4.2.2 ROMs
Hey guys just wanted some clarification before I go out and purchase one of these beautiful gears !
I own a Galaxy S4 currently running cm10.2 built from source.
Can anyone verify that using the supplied .apk from the OP, you have had success pairing up your gear with your S4 running cm10.2 and have all the main functions working ?
Can anyone please reply with a detailed response on what type of function's are working and what is not.
The only thing that work was making phone call. Notification, Weather, and svoice does not work.
Now if you install a stock 4.3 rom, everything works.

Can you post the apk, " SAccessoryService_signed.apk" please.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
Hi Guys,
First to find SAccessoryService_signed.apk it is in the /sdcard/Gear directory.. It is downloaded by the gear manager software
Anyway I have found something else out too... once you run that apk, if you re-open the gear manager, it will download the next app and put it into that gear directory (it also deletes the old one)... if you keep doing this, you get through mose of the providers necessary. As of writing I have got through to SAmusicprovider_signed.apk which fails install and has left me stuck here.
I have tried this on a HTC One X running CM10.1 and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running stock AOSP 4.3.
If I have an s4 with stock 4.2.2 which installs all ofthe apps automatically which means it is something that sammy has added to their version of android to get the stuff to install.
Will post logs if anyone is interested...
Cheers!

Gear Needs touchwiz elements in order to operate all functions such as shealth svoice and other elements. I have saw where others have got it to work somewhat but not fully. I can confirm with Gear 1 all hyperdrive roms work extremely well with gear.

Hello,
I have been looking around the forums and struggling with the galaxy gear i picked up today.
I have a verizon note 2, that is rooted and using a jellybean ROM. It appears that this ROM does not support NFC, and that looks to be the only way to install gear manager.
I have downloaded numerous 1.5 and 1.2 and 1.4 gear manager APKs from these forums, and have been able to set up gear manager on the phone but it appears to not be working so well. I cannot seem to get any notifications pushed to the gear, and cannot get the weather to show on the gear.
I was going to return the gear and just be done with it, but I am now wondering if anyone has any insight into whether or not I could get a simpler stock based ROM that enables NFC and has no conflict with the gear and my note 2?
I am using the stock messenger app, and no text messages come to the gear
Update
I contacted samsung to ask if there was any way to get the most recent gear manager without NFC and they said there was not. I am wondering if anyone can post a working APK, and if anyone can link me to a verizon note 2 rom that they are using and having no issues with the gear.
The phone calls go through without issue, but no text message or any other notification seems to be pushed through.

Your rom has no NFC ? This is... weird ?
Regardless, why not simply install a stock samsung rom ? You can install the gear manager straight from the samsung apps store and your done ?

I am not sure how to find a stock rom that will work without causing problems. I just assumed the ROM did not support NFC as it was not working, the options are there in my settings.
Does NFC require the stock battery and back cover? I have an extended battery, but was able to find my stock battery without the cover and it would not connect.
I am currently downloading jeallybeans_b22 to flash and see if there are any issues - would you mind linking me to a rom that you think would be issue free?
Thanks for the help

I don't no dude exactly, Varys from phone to phone.. I remember reading in the past some aftermarket battery's prevent NFC from working.. which is more than likely your problem.
Also your not going to receive notifications unless you use a rom based on Samsung, otherwise you will be forced to use third party applications in order to receive notifications.

What, No its not because of root..
Dont over complicate things, its simply because your using a aftermarket battery.
Also you dont need nfc, you can manually connect the gear via bluetooth via the galaxy gear manager app.... ALTHOUGH I highly highly highly recommend you get a Samsung based rom !
No offence intended although you dont really seem like your very confident with android & know what your talking about, I recommend using a Samsung rom first until you understand how the gear actually works..

No offense taken at all, I have rooted every android device I have had but almost always run intro problems. I would definitely say I am not confident in this whole process. The problem I am facing now is that all of the roms in the verizon section for the note 2 are not really clear on what is close to stock and what is not
While my current rom is touchwiz based I am still trying to find one compatible with the gear.
When I said it was my fault for being rooted I just meant my fault for not understanding how to find a stock rom to revert to.
2 key ingredients to getting gear working are android 4.3 and touchwiz
nfc is only used to make connection easier, you can alwys just select to connect manually. I'm pretty sure nfc antenna is part of battery

Without downloading the gear manager apk from someone who posted it on XDA I could not get the phone to prompt anything and the connection failed.
After downloading the apk for gear manager I was able to get the limited connectivity set up. I am guessing this is because the ROM is not very compatible and I will try to find one that works better.
Thanks for the help guys, sorry for wasting time. I cannot find the OEM battery cover for the phone, just the OEM battery and neither work when trying to bump the cradle to it. What a silly way for samsung to deliver the download... I don't understand why there is no option for a download from them.

No, that is not how it works. You need the gear manager to connect and you just download this from the Samsung store (or I've posted all the apks). Anyway, nfc is just used to automatically pair devices and that is all, nothing else - it's simply less user interaction this way
EDIT: nfc looks to be part of the back cover (http://allaboutsamsung.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Note2_wireless_charging_2.jpg)

You can download gear manager directly from the app called "samsung apps", its considered bloat to some developers.. so it may be stripped out of the rom your using.

OK it's now fixed. I did it myself. (downloaded Samsung Tag Writer which wrote the missing data back onto the NFC part of the charging cradle.)
Hi All,
Any tips / tricks to get the Galaxy Gear watch to work with the S4 Active on 4.2.2? As soon as I open Gear Manager, it says it cannot work with this phone.
I tried a bluetooth connect, and it connects but then disconnects right away
Thanks.

Unfortunately the only way I found was to upgrade to leaked 4.3 version, I used the below oneclick method and gear functions worked fine:

Activeroot (Lambda) method did not work for me, so used this chinese method to root:

I found the root and 4.3 yesterday, and it's working, except for S-Voice. It says S-voice is not installed on my phone - but it is, and it works on my phone

Oh don't know why. I did the 4.3 upgrade, set up the gear apps etc and only then rooted the phone. Maybe try this sequence.
Although, had to reinstall samsung apps to fix few things but everything else worked fine. Will ask friend about S voice again and report back.

So - since installing the 4.3, my phone randomly 'forgets' my Google accounts. They are GONE.
I returned the galaxy gear, so 4.3 is no longer 'needed'. Is it possible to go back to 4.2? That may be the cause of the google accounts frequently vanishing.

As of now there is no way to downgrade because of a locked bootloader. You're sick with what you've got. You can try going to the Samsung Store at Best Buy and see what they can do, but I don't think it'll work since you've already upgraded.
so the OTA also has an issue with losing the google account? I thought this was only an issue for the Leak. By the way the odin 1 click restore can take you back to 4.2.2

I have a Galaxy Gear working almost perfectly with my 4.2.2 S4 Active. Only S-Voice and weather do not work. Notifications are all there, hands free works, apps work.
All you need is to install the gearmanagerstub.apk and gearmanager.apk to get you started. Head to the XDA Galaxy Gear forum for the how to

Hi,
My phone is rooted (but still no TWRP).
Is there a way to use 2 sim and sd card (some kind of mod)?
Thanks
@idovino
You'll want something like this HOWEVER I've never used one myself so investigate further.
Disabled as of Android Pie on Samsung devices.
Investigation continues

I want to know how to make it work.
Thanks

It won't work unfortunately. Just did some research and, on Pie, Samsung appears to have disabled this function.
There is an entire thread here:

This company claims to have a solution for all S10 models.
