I updated the gear to MK7 and gear manager to 1.5 and cannot receive notifications on the gear. Everything is turned on in gear manager. Any suggestions?

If you don't mind losing setting on the gear you can wipe the gear and start from scratch...
1: Press and hold the power button until it shows:
"Samsung Galaxy Gear
Rebooting..."
2: While on that screen, press the power button 5 times
3: this should bring you to to a menu. cycle through the options and select recovery
4: to choose, press the button for 3 seconds.
5: Wait for it to wipe...
6: Once done, set it up as a new device!
Hopefully that fixes it!
EDIT: When (or if) it asks to restore from a backup, select NO!

I am using a third party app by the same dev that does the K9 email call Melwin, I get a notification of the email with the header but I cant read the email, is it possible to do this with the Gear?? I have the latest Mk7 Null 10.1 and the latest Gear manager app as well. Thanks

Unfortunately that isn't something that is wrong with the gear, it is just the way the Gear Manager formats the notification to be displayed on the gear. There is always the possibility of getting that email app on the gear itself, however!

Make this a sticky please!

Im using mobileGo to install apps to the gear but it seems to now work. this started happening after installing Null.
Also for some reason it seems that don't have root since it wont let me run root browser.

Well, the Null ROM is pre-rooted... All I can think is try running a root verification app to see if it is truly rootedand Root Browser is misbehaving, or if it is unrooted for some reason...

As long as you follow the Null rom instructions from the page one of the ROM thread - it should be no obstacles. Please read carefully.
Please be aware that in most cases US providers block BT tethering, so for internet access please check it on your phone first.

If you want to keep it stock, download the ROM from here!
It is for Britain, but it works for the USA as well!

What should we be using on installing apps to the gear? Should I keep using WonderShare?

no Bluetooth tethering option on watch
No option in settings<Bluetooth<settings. My only options are rename and unpair. Where is my tethering option?

Just make sure you actually have adb installed! but you need the APK... Wondershare works just fine!

Ahh, US phones seem to have this issue... Make sure you go into the "more settings" right under the bluetooth and wifi switches select tethering and hotspot and check off Bluetooth tethering. If not, it is a limitation put in place by AT&T. The only thing that would help is a new ROM...or a mod of some sort.

You should, yes.

Couple of questions
Just have 3 questions. Is there anyway to increase the in call volume of the Gear? I have it turned all the way up to 6 and its barely audible on a call. I know the little speaker is capable because on youtube clips this thing is crazy loud.
Second question. I have looked everywhere for the 1.5 version of gear manager. I checked the sigs and I still cant find it. Can you post a link to the apk?
Third and last question. How do you toggle the touchwiz and nova launcher?
T.I.A.
Great Rom!

Really working tethering for stock Gear?

Please, suggest me a really work app to install on gear and tether with my S4. I tried PdaNet Tablet and EasyTether Tablet but both close. My gear is full stock and unrooted. I can browsing using screenshare, but I'd like to use also others app, i.e., dolphin
tnx

You can't unless your s4 has a custom rom with bluetooth tethering.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that only null_ rom can enable a connection on the Gear ?
As we need to tick a checkbox on it to enable the internet via BT, and this checkbox (functionnality) isn't available on the Gear's stock ROM.

I can browse using Screenshare (phone) on S4 and Screenshare (tablet) on Gear, but Screenshare interal browser is too small for simply browsing from Gear. I'm pretty sure that we can connect both using other apps...I'm looking for suggestions about what app I could try....

Pdanet tablet works on gear using foxfi in my S4, non rooted.
Bluetooth tether does, not because my S4 (fido) has it deactivated....
So I can connect to internet and browse if I want (but why ? it's too small) using pdanet.
Unfortunately you can not use google stuff that require internet connection since they will only work with a native bluetooth tether.
The only reason I would need internet is to use google but since I can't I rarely use pdanet, but it does work if that is what you want.
Only option would be to flash my S4 with another ROM that enables BT but for my needs, I find that too much work. I am good with all I can do with the gear for now.

OP how do you do screen share? That sounds interesting.

[Q] Notifications for Nexus 5 / Non Samsung Devices and Gear Manager.

So now most of us have got gear manager running on the Nexus 5 / Non Samsung Devices. Has anyone had any success getting the notifications to work? I have notifications on and more notifications on but using the stock notifications app for the Gear, finds no notifications. I also ran a logcat to see if any errors come up when sending notifications like a SMS / skype message through and could not find any errors..

Maybe offer a bounty to get "stock notifications" from Gear Manager?

Someone help me. I reset the gear and now I'm stuck at the screen with the gear telling me to dock the device with the phone. I don't have the note 3, so how can I get this going? Can I root the gear as is or do I have to have access to setting to enable USB debug?

I was stuck in the same situation... only difference I am running a Note 2 with cm11.
I figured out that the version of Gear Manager I had was too old and was my problem. After removing all traces of the older version and updating to 1.5.120903 I was able to successfully pair my devices together and I was then able to get into settings to enable USB debugging and continue the process of installing this fine ROM.
The only thing I am still unable to get working is notifications.

Anyone pair iphone with the gear?

There should be a step by step guide to get gear manager to work with Nexus 5. I installed gear manager stub and gear manager and still stuck at the setup connect.

My NEXUS5 with KITKAT 4.4.2 and GEAR(null_17 ROM)
hi to all, i want to share my experience (sorry for my english, i'm italian)
i have Nexus 5 phone and galaxy Gear(null_17 ROM).
Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2
Galaxy Gear with V700XXUAMK7 with NULL_17 ROM
and watchstyler 1.0.9 (working) with Casio Skin :good:
At first i installed gearmanagerstub.apk
after i just bring "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk" and renamed to "gear manager 1.6 111801.zip"
opened and bring all file in the folder "preinstalledapk"
and run all one by one excepted for "samusic" and "saweather" because fail to installing(but is ok).
after all manual apk installed also installed "gear manager 1.6 111801.apk"
and opened gear manager and start the gear and pairing it. (2 or 3 time but making same test and check and at final running)
if you come from old pairing with other gear manager version example 1.5 or 1.4 etc... just from your sdcard delete the folder ".BManager_backup"
for fix the notification i also installed ATNmanager 1.2.2.apk on the phone, and in the gear i already sended the version of "ATNmanager 1.2.3.1_pre"(only the watch.apk file inside) and i receive all notify on gear by this apps and working fine.
remeber to go in setting->security->allow ATNmanager to read notification
up to now
work:

Sideload any app/file to Galaxy Gear (no cables, no computer, no ADB, no MobileGo)

This is something that I ran across while reading sometime ago, so I take no credit for it, I just thought I'd pass it along to help others. Basically all you need to do is use a file manager/explorer on your Note 3 (I use "My Files" most of the time) and long press on the file/app that you want to send to your Galaxy Gear and then hit the "share" button at the top of your screen. Then select "Bluetooth", and then choose the Galaxy Gear. After that, just hit "accept" on the Gear and that's it...nothing else is needed. It may take a few minutes just because bluetooth file transferring isn't extremely fast, but it works, and without having to enter commands in terminal/ADB, without any cables, without MobileGo which is a trial version (or cost $40), and you don't even need the Galaxy Gear's cradle (that you probably left at home like I did).
Once the file/app has transferred over, just use a file manager on your gear to maneuver to the "SDcard/Bluetooth" directory where your files will be waiting on the Gear. Then you can simply double click to install them or just move them where ever you want. My Gear already had a file manager on it after I installed the custom rom Null 18. Otherwise, getting that file manager app onto the Gear may be your biggest (also last) challenge as far as sideloading apps goes. I rooted, and then flashed the Null 18 rom first to save time, but now sideloading is a piece of cake.
I also took this method to the next level since I am also rooted as I mentioned. What I mean by that, is with Root Explorer you can navigate to the System/apps directory (which is normally hidden if not rooted and using something like RE to access it). Once there, you'll find that this is the directory where your installed apps are stored. Now you can use the same method mentioned above to pull apps that you may not have had the .apk files for. So in essence you are "ripping" the apps right from your Note 3 straight to your Gear! This gives you the ability to try and install/run ANY Android app (even those that are said NOT to be compatible with the Gear) because a lot of them will still run. Google Search/Google Now/Voice Search is GREAT on the Gear, and so are many others. NOW this device is really kickin! Enjoy.

Sweet...many thanks ..

Very cool, thanks. Simple and effective. I like the part about testing Android apps from your phone / tablet to see how they work on the Gear.

Hmm weird. ..I tried this with two different file mangers and when I scan for nearby devices to share with nothing comes up. Neither my note or gear are rooted so maybe this only works with null?

I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted on the Gear for this. I tried to do that when I went back to stock and was pretty mad that it wouldn't work. One more reason I was Null back.
But my Not3 is not rooted and na3 and na6 will not let me keep any sideloaded apps. So I am not going to get null back until this is fixed. I even went down to the first gear manager and it still doesn't work. Only mk7 with any gear manager allows me to keep my apps/put them on my home screen.

Works for me on a stock Note II!

No need for root. Just use My Backup app on your phone. Saved apk is usually in sdcard/rerware

hi ,
first of all ,in your Gear manager on phone have you enabled "unknown souces " ?( Gear manager/settings /unknow souces... )
i install 3rd party apps ( sideloading ) either using wondershare ( from pc ..connected to watch ) or es file explorer that i have installed on watch i have Google keyboard installed ( after a reboot to work )and can go into keyboard settings when i open my "apps " section on gear and select The relevant app..."Google keyboard " )
i have stock rom not rooted ?? Maybe its something you are not checking or doing that you cannot get it to work ??

All that works with null, which is stock plus extras. So, yes, it someone did figure it out

I'd like to know how to get the "full" settings area using null rom, when using the stock ui. For example if I want to look at the voltage instead of swipe, swipe, settings I have to do apps->find nova->apps->find settings->do my thing->back to apps->find touchwiz->irritating.
Is it possible to add icons to the apps area of stock for apps that show in Nova but not in Stock ui? Then I could add an icon for the full settings.

Yes I have checked to accept 3rd party apps in gear manager but when I go to install and apk it still tells me on the gear that I can't do unknown app sources. I can sideload fine but I prefer the Bluetooth from phone to gear idea. I'm not going to pay $40 for wondershare when the trial is up. Lol.
And as far as using null_ goes, I am waiting to see if I can figure out how to bt tether with att S3 before I go full null_
