I was also able to find a link for the 4.3 update, however it still links to the MF3 update page. See the attached screenshot from AT&T's website.

This is the link to the i537 Specifications page that has a link to the 4.3 update. However, when you click on the 4.3 update link it takes you to the MF3 update. So it seems like they're ready for the 4.3 update they just haven't released it yet.

There isn't a way for me to get this update other than to flash it if I am on Tmo using the i537, right?

They either jumped the gun on posting it or there is something wrong with the firmware. I would say they found something wrong with it.

AT&T PR's response: "Nothing to announce at this time - will keep you posted when the update is ready."
Looks like it's not ready just yet.

Check again.
The link is there and it works.

That's not a solution to the problem this thread is trying to address. Please stay on topic.

Has anyone found any information on this yet??
I still can't find anything on this at all.

Have a read of the threads around here. You need to install gearmanagerstub apk into system/apps on your phone
Check my gear manager thread for a bit more info. Will only be limited in what it can do as it is not touchwiz based

Thanks for your reply.

What thread are you speaking of? I have been desperately trying to get my gear 2 neo to work with my note 2 on an aosp based rom since I bought it, but I can't get anyone to help me and I can't find any useful threads.

You can try something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862 (gear 2 though)
Otherwise any [insert non-Samsung phone] thread will help (eg. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723862)
Check my gear manager thread also

So what's the purpose of the gearmanagerstub.apk? Is that specific to the Galaxy gear or do I need to do that step for the gear 2 neo?

btw best to start with an older version of gear manager (eg 1.6 or 1.7), then once setup you can try newer ones and see how you go

Ok so here is the best i can do. First of all the credit for this goes to Brendo, without him i wouldve had no chance of getting it to work.
Here is the link to all the files you will need.
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/e7h23e12rzesi/Gear_Manager
1st step... download gearmanagerstub.apk
2nd step.... find the version of gear manager you would like to use. I got it to work on v. 2.0.14040401, but im sure it will work on most of the versions.
3rd step... download that version of gear manager, then open the folder that says extended. inside of that will be two more folders (gear2apks and preinstallapk), open both those folders and download all the contents of them.
NOW YOU HAVE ALL THE FILES YOU WILL NEED
IMPORTANT!!!!!
TURN DATA AND WIFI OFF BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THE NEXT STEPS OR IT WILL FORCE YOU TO DO AN UPDATE TO THE GEAR MANAGER APP.
4th step... use a root file explorer to copy gearmanagerstub.apk to the /system/apps folder of the root directory. I used rom toolbox root explorer app to accomplish this.
5th step... install the gear manager, then pair just bluetooth.
6th step... install all files that were downloaded from the preinstallapk folder
7th step... reboot
8th step.... install all files that were downloaded from gear2apk folder
9th step... open gear manager and do a normal setup of your device
YOU SHOULD BE DONE!!!
Now i may sound like a total moron for telling you to do it this way, maybe its too many steps, maybe i just did it wrong. who knows??? it worked for me though. good luck to you and I hope this helped. Make sure to thank Brendo, this was all his stuff and he helped me a ton when no one else would.

THIS IS DISGUSTING!!!
They made this 'downgrade' on purpose so that we switch to Tizen or buy new watch...
I'll try to install old gear manager.
