Is there a way to refresh the weather on the watch? It updated once and hasn't changed in 12 hours.

Open the weather widget and change it in the settings on your phone. Then reboot both
Actually it is in the setting for weather in the Gear Manager app.

There isn't anyway as of now to refresh from the watch itself. It does autoupdate as soon as the app on the phone updates tho. I currently have the phone app set to update hourly on mine so that the weather info stays somewhat updated. I would imagine a future update will include someway to refresh directly from the watch itself.

That just allows you to setup how often the weather is refreshed, it doesn't actually do what the op asked which is refresh the weather from the watch. As a side note when you change the settings in Gear Manager that you mentioned it changes the settings in the weather widget on the phone and vice versa. I do believe that a future update will allow you to refresh the weather directly from the watch tho.

Undersood the question but frequent update (e.g. every hour) should mean there is no need to update from the watch. The weather does not change that fast!
Weather not updating at all

The problem i'm having is that Weather isn't updating at all on my Gear,
If i go into apps and press weather i'm met with 'Add city to weather widget on mobile device'
On the main Gear clock/weather screen it states 'No weather info'
I've tried turning 'Use current location' on and off in Gear Manager, restarting both devices didn't help.
Also tried resetting the Gear to factory defaults.
I'm using a stock Note 3.
Everything else seems to work well,
Any ideas ?

is the weather app setup correctly on the Note 3? It gets all of it's info from the stock app on the Note, oddly enough the weather app is obviously different from previous versions as it doesn't work at all on an S4.

Appreciate the quick reply,
Everything was setup correctly but for some reason re-installing Gear Manager on my Note made it work.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but i don't know if it's worth creating a new one...
Is there any quicker way to check battery life ?
The only way I know is to go into the Settings app on the Gear and then Battery.

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Accuweather widget to run in the Nova launcher? It seems that only the TouchWiz version updates the weather clock on the Galaxy Gear watch. It would be nice to have it work with Nova as well. I did install the Accuweather application from the Play Store, but its widget doesn't sync with the Gear watch, or so it appears.

Here's a version of TouchWiz Accuweather I've had since Note1, which works on Nova.

You have to use a root browser to copy it to system/app.
With the new tizen update you can refresh weather manually from the watch now

Weather widget for Galaxy Gear
Hello to all
I noticed that all the widgets I tried to use that was not native to SAMSUNG is not synchronizing with the Galaxy GEAR.
Thus, I can not use the coolest launchers because of this.
Some of you can use other launchers and weather widgets that sync with the Galaxy Gear?
Thanks.

Hello All.
For outdoors sportsmans negative colors option is very valuable because when activated and with brightness at max the phone is totally readable under full sunlight.
Unfortunately negative colors widget is missing on the S4 whereas it came stock on S3.
It would be great to have it on S4 as well.
I am a stock ROM user so I wonder if the apk can be extracted from S4 and can be installed on S4?
Negativecolours widget
Check out the Samsung App store, search for Negativecolours widget, and download it. Also check out the HQ voice and other widgets. Samsung left them out to free over a GB of space, and made them available on the its own app store incase someone needed them, enjoy man!
Josh.
Is there a way to have a clock face that shows notifications? Or some other way to have it so when i turn the watch screen on, I can see both the time and any notification count on the same screen?

Thanks for posting that but does the weather part work if you dont have a samsung device? Also what if your not on 4.3?
Can you add a similar widget to watch face on stock gear?

You need Gear Manager on your host device to use any Native functions on the Gear, inculding weather updates.

No I will not.
First up, you need to be rooted to get acces to the count..
Second, it´s a completly different thing to create the widget as standalone than trying to implement it in a stock app.

Interesting I do have the gear manager installed on my devices. Like the gear manager icon appears when I Bluetooth connect my device. I still don't get weather updates. Someone was saying you have to have th Samsung accuweather installed.

I have NULL_ 22.1 installed.
I am using the clock + weather widget.
I do have NotiCounter installed.
When I try to place the clock + weather widget and the NotiCounter widget on the same screen, the clock widget gets cut off.
I also am using the dock for my all apps button, tho i am trying to get LMT set up to use it instead.
Thanks for the assistance

I have a Note 2 (i605) and GearManager installed.... the weather widget will not work unless I have the stock TouchWiz clock on one of my home screens. So I just put it on one i never use.... No idea about getting it to work on non Samsung phones, maybe someone has ported that widget?

Yeah I thought there was someone at one point that had the samsung apps and had re authored them so that you could use them with other devices. The search featured has been disabled for some reason on this site so I cant look for it.
I installed gear manager apk on my z2 and not the two devices have no problem talking to each other.
my question is..
i love using dual clock feature on gear but it seems like i need actual note 3 clock app to do so, is there any way i can install samsung clock app on my z2? anyone have recommendation for 3rd party dual clock app?

Check out www.GearFaces.com There are plenty of clock faces there with instructions on how to install them. Hope this helps
Hi there,
I recently upgraded to a Nexus 5 32GB from my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 running Android 2.3.6. However, one of the big dilemma's I have been facing is how to organize my home screens (e.g. placement of widgets, app shortcuts, etc.). I know it sounds silly, but it is something which I feel I need to get right. My current setup is;
Google now
Screen 1: Clock widget and battery widget
Screen 2: Power toggles and 4 app folders for commonly used apps
Screen 3: Flipboard widget and Facebook status widget
Screen 4: Sunrise calendar widget
Let me know what your setups are. I am keen to try different setups to see what works, as I am still getting a feel for the device.
Thanks!
