Hey Guys I have a factory Note 2 and just bought a galaxy gear the other day. I have seen reports of this watch working with the s4 and even the htc one. Can someone help me get this thing working with my note 2? I found the .apk file online and was able to download and install it to my note 2 and successfully connect the gear to my note 2 via bluetooth but the gear seems to be stuck on the spinning screen. It will take and send calls via the phone and work as a bluetooth head set but that's all. Thanks again in advance for all the help!!!
Not sure it is currently working with gn2. I think you will have to wait for 4.3 like the rest of us. The clock working on it? I have the gn2 as well and been waiting for someone to mention they got it working. If you got it to sync I assume you got the clock at least working.

Will have to wait until November for 4.3 on N2 Unless someone will root Gear earlier
After playing with it for a while I finally got it to work with the apk file posted on another thread here. CONFIRMED the galaxy gear works for the factory 4.1.2 note 2. Unfortunately so far the weather, contacts, notifications and svoice doesn't sync with the gnote2 but everything else seems to work.

The 2nd post in the thread titled "gear mmanager .apk" I too was stuck on the spinning wheel when I hit the gear manager from the aptoid app. The one referenced in there works well.

No problem! Glad I could help I can't wait for the update to take full use of the watch but until then im satisfied with how much it'll do. Good luck with getting it working for your device!
Same place as you currently but glad it isn't a paper weight waiting lol. Wonder if we change the device specs like how you can install Google wallet. If we do this wonder if we could access programs and stuff for the watch also.

Yea I know right lol I dont know. . . I could be worth a try but I think the phone needs the 4.3 update for the new bluetooth compatability. I can honestly say that I'm kinda of disappointed that Samsung hasn't released the 4.3 update for the s3, s4, and note 2 already.
I wanted to confirm if anyone else was looking that the problems described (

As of right now with stock (NOT ROOTED) NOTE 2 here is a summary of what I have working:
Working:
Camera: Works, syncs on any settings correctly (charging sync only etc)
Timer: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)
Stopwatch: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)
Voice memo: Works, syncs on any settings correctly
Gallery: Works, syncs on any settings correctly
Pedo: Works (doesnt need BT for any function)
Schedule / Calender: WORKS, I've heard others having problems? Mine does sync with my events.
Contacts: WORKS, I've heard others having problems? Mine does sync with my contacts. Settings also change (Choose all contacts or just favorites)
Logs: Works, syncs on any settings correctly
Not Working:
Weather: does NOT work. Gear wants me to change settings on widget / within gear but still doesn't sync weather (displays "no info")
SVoice: does NOT work. Same as weather, wants settings changed in SVoice but still doesn't relay info.
Notifications: Does NOT work. Nothing will push to the Galaxy Gear for a notification (email, sms, google, FB, etc)
As for the apps, I can navagate into the gear manager, select apps, go into the market where the Gear apps exist and attempt to download however once they begin to install I get an error "try later" (0). All gear apps (not included in the gear manager) are not available to me. Not sure if they can be downloaded on the side as .apk's and used? I can't find any to try.
Sidenote: The BT seems to be functioning normally, I get auto detection and maintain pairing all day.

Gear Manager on Note 2 & S3 without Android 4.3

I just picked up my Samsung Galaxy Gear this morning I own an S3 and a Note 2 but yesterday after trying in vain do download the Gear Manager app from the Samsung Apps Store from my desktop browser there it was in the search but it is only available for download through Kies. When you plug in your device, Kies asks for the Android version, won’t accept 4.3 and if you type 4.1.2 then the gear manager app disappears from the search.
I downloaded the apk from xda instead and it installed perfectly on both my devices. It turns out that the Gear and gear manager work properly with the exception of Notifications, the Weather and S-voice. With S-voice you get prompted on the gear to accept the terms of use agreement on your mobile but it does not appear on your device screen so the s-voice use on the gear does not continue. Notifications and Weather update doesn’t work but everything else does.
Cheers!
how dit you conected your gear whit note2??

Note 2 + GG
I've searched every day for anything released that allows GG and Note 2 functionality (I.E. notifications weather etc) to work fully. Nothing still ... anyone else have any luck?
Everytime i get a notification from Google Now, I get a notification on the gear. This is getting aggravating. I get a ton of notifications. I finally had to disable sports updates. Now i'm getting weather updates. All notifications are pointless because all you can do is use the gear to open up the application on the Note3 cause you can't see anything on the Gear.
Would be nicer if you could see everything on the Gear. Other wise I'm looking to disable, if i could.

ATN is independent of itself from what has been relayed. I do see it in mine, but he has been updating constantly, so that could make a difference.
I am using version 1.0 and that has been just perfect for me so far.
This thread would have much of what your looking for.

Good Luck.
UPDATED - v1.2 removes the double messages from some apps, fixes another bug.
I wanted a way to get other notifications to the Gear without having to run another client app on the Gear.
There is another project (ATN) that initially used the Email notification to do this. I liked this approach because it was simple, used the gear manager as the delivery mechanism, and the Email notification app on the gear which is robust enough to handle long notifications.
I reached out to Dattas Moonchaser, who wrote the popular Pebble Notifier to see if I could use his app as my base. He obliged so here it is....
Install this on your phone, there is nothing to install on the Gear. The only thing you need to know is to go into Accessibility settings and give Gear Getter permissions (it has a big RED link for this when you launch the app). Also make sure you have Email notification checked in the Gear Manager.
Here are some better instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47449016&postcount=119
Once you enable Accessibility you are able to setup your apps you want to receive notifications from. Couple cool things..
- There is the ability to setup filters
- Ability to setup quiet times
- There is tasker integration (I haven't messed with this)
- This reads the data from the expanded view so you should get pretty robust notifcations
- Easy on the battery
If you feel the need to donate, please do it from the app, and it will go to Dattas who would appreciate it.

Quick question..
I did not install anything yet but I wanted to understand this. Do we install on both the gear and the phone ?
Where does it pull information from ?
I never used the app before, I just wanted some more info before I experiment with it.
And does it require 4.3 ?
Thanks
Can you read the notifications from the gear with this ?.

You only install it on the phone, there is nothing to install on the gear. It uses the built in Email notification on the gear to display the notifications.
You tell it which apps you want to receive notifications from on your gear.
This doesn't require 4.3, but the Gear Manager does (which this uses).

This send notifications from your phone (for the applications you select) to the gear, using the Email notification on the gear to display them.
Thanks, checking it out. I want to see if I can get Instagram notifications. I will report back.
So far so good! Gmail is sending full subject and body of emails! However, when you click "Show On Device" it launches the stock email client instead of gmail. It sounds like that's because it uses the email notification methods.

Great! The logic for getting the notification details is pretty battle tested so I would expect the content it sends to the gear to be pretty good and mostly match what you would see in an expanded notification on your phone.
The Show On Device I don't think I will get to be able to actually work to open the app on the phone....
Tried twice to install apk and it crashes my Note 3, it reboots on it's own and the apk is not installed .

Under FilterList in the settings it states Pebble. FYI.
Ok, this does not work for me. Although it is probably because I running an S4 on 4.2 so far. Waiting for the update to be online.
I'll have to wait for the update to get me to 4.3 for the gear manager to work properly. I have limited functionality still
UPDATE : Well, email does not work, only get recipients name showing, but on the other hand, texting works (using sms pro)
But everything displays double, I mean I see the text and who is from and then under s separator I see it again with just a bit smaller fonts. Don't know why, maybe a setting I need to play with ?
I am glad at least for the texts for now.
Ok strange , after i boot into stock rom and then back to rom slot i installed .

I would like to point out that using this method if you use the stock browser it will talk to you and to the best of my knowledge there is no way to stop it.
Also last I knew if you were on a note 2 it will also talk when opening and closing folders and when switching home screens

Crazy! I use Chrome so didn't notice but you are right. More research shows its a bug with Samsung. I'll switch over to the 4.3 method using the security setting in the next few days. Until then I suggest using Chrome.
I just tried a KitKat GE rom on my i9505, To my surprise the gear paired up !
You need to make sure you have the relevant gear apks in /system/app.. although it did pair up fine..
I'll give more information on this shortly.. going to verify everything works as intended.
EDIT: To my surprise, the latest version of kitkat comes preloaded with the needed gear manager files.
All that is really needed is accuweather & gear manager and your set!
EDIT 2: In saying that, its no where near stable to be used as a daily driver, random reboots & wifi connectivity issues.
Although its nice to know its being incorporated.

I was able to get Gear Manager automatically installed on my i9505g as well using the NFC bump.
It seems none of the notifications work other than phone calls. I can't get Gmail or Hangouts to notify the GG. Have you had any luck with this? I was able to enable those notifications in Gear Manager, they just don't work.
Anyone tried it with the recent 4.2.2 update?

Samsung GPE devices dont need this, they contain touchwiz frameworks..
As per the notifications working, I recently tried to get them working although did not have any luck doing so..
It seems not all the APK's are being installed, media controller provider APK is not installing.. I havnt figured out why !
Also it seems that the services gear manager uses are not starting, may be due to all the initial APK's not being installed I assume..
I believe if we can get all the APK's that gear manager initially installs completed successfully, it will trigger the services to start.
Hi
Does anyone else have problems with notifications? For me they work for few hours and then they stop working and only rebooting the phone fixes it.
It happened to me today...
Non of notifications alerted on my gear 2....
Restarting the gear, no change, restarting the phone... the notification is back
I do have notification but I don't get any details about it, no preview of the messages at all, just that I should check details on my phone... ridiculous! they do it on purpose...
I have found that I only get notifications on the Gear when the phone screen is on. If the phone screen is off, no notifications except Gmail.

Yep, having similar issues, however I get the notification on the phone, however it doesn't vibrate for all apps, behaviour is very inconsistent. I have emailed samsung support but am not holding my breath

I do have notification but I don't get any details about it, no preview of the messages at all, just that I should check details on my phone... ridiculous! they do it on purpose...

With the new gear manager update i seem to be getting my notifications more consistantly, but also, like you, have lost all detail to them. Only the fact that I got a notification and what it came from (text, email,...). It no longer gives the text or email body.
I would love to hear if someone has a fix for this.

I'm getting exactly this issue.
Hopefully we'll see a fix for this. I'm sure Samsung is right on top of it.
:/
The issue is you updated galaxy gear manager.
There is a new setting in it to control it the notification has a preview, or just to tell which app gave the notification.
Seems like this setting only works for tizen os.
I updated to tizen using these instructions and all works again.

Good luck.
I didn't feel the need to update to tizen. I liked android and my watch styler. But preview of messages is a necessity.

Weird. That option has always been available
I dont rememeber which thread i got this File saprovider , all you have to do is Force close GearManager , then uninstall Saprovider "settings > application manager " then install the one from link.
this should fix everything , stop battery drain and make it works as it should be, notification and media control ... etc
Just incase , stop auto update from samsung app market.
Tried the saproviders.apk mod, and it still didnt bring back complete notifications.
All WhatsApp notifications show as "WhatsApp" instead of the senders name, which is kinda useless.
Cant stop Gear Manager from updating, as there is no option.
If you hit cancel, it will exit. If you hit update, it will update even without samsung Apps, as it's updating independently now.
I know this because I don't have Samsung Apps on My phone.
yeah its damn force update again and mess up everything again
I'm getting notifications, but no popup on my gear. They show in the notifications app on the gear, though. Sad days...
