Is anyone having trouble downloading apps?
As an example:
I goto Gear Manager, Select my device, Goto Samsung Apps, Goto Utilities, Click on free at the top, Click on Neon : Digital Watch, Click on Install...it flashes like it tries to install and nothing happens...the install button pops back up.
I'm using a Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with my Gear 2 Neo.
Fixed. I had to got www.samsungapps.com on my phone and reinstall Samsung Apps which is separate from Gear Manager.
I have the same problem...only I do have Samsung apps installed. I can download the apps to the phone and it will attempt to install...just says "Installing" forever. I literally have to reboot the phone to get it to stop.

I am running the latest officialrelease of ICS 4.0.4 on my GN, the one that was made available OTA two days ago or so
I tried updating my installed Tasker software.this is the version that was sold outside the market. In tasker one can go to Settings/more and download the latest, it then calls the install tool.
The install tool starts, shows the required permissions etc, and then offers two buttons "install" and "cancel".
The install button is not reacting at all.
I have the same issue with other apps downloaded outside the market (pimlical)..
Of course the security option allowing external apps to be installed us activated.if I turn that if the install tool won't even start.
So what makes that install button block? There us no visual indication of an issue, no error message our such..
Had anyone seen this and has a to on how to solve this?

Did you enable "Unknown Sources" ?
Settings, Security, Other sources.
Above is translated from Swedish so that may not be the exact words.
It happen to me also. I only reboot the phone and it went fine again.

Remove the previous version and install the latest version again. it should work...
what is the error message you get....if it says ( an application with the same name and signature exist)
then unistall the old version of tasker and download the new version from the website u downloaded the earlier ver.. and install again
you have a screenfilter app most likely running

Have the same issue. The only way I get around it is to close as many apps as possible with a task killer until the install happens. One of my installed apps is causing the problem but haven't been able to pin down which one.

I have been away from my gear watch for two months and I forgot how to do some of the basics I did before. I know how to use Odin to flash over the files for the new firmware for the gear watch itself. . But there is a Gear Manager update that has to be installed separately. The GR Manager update has been available for a week and it is posted in this forum. It has to be installed on the phone separately from ODIN. I simply forgot the process for installing the Gear Manager software. SInce I have a rooted phone I have done this before, but since I have been away from the watch for months I forgot.
Can someone remind me of the process for loading or installing the Gear Manager software onto the phone itself. I can't automatically do it thru the software itself because I have a rooted phone with Null custom rom

You mean you forgot how to use adb and sideload? Or you can use wondershare.
Here's the null rom tutorial using wondershare.

Bear with me. I do know well how to side load apps both with and without wondershare. I can use ADB quite well. I guess what I do not recall is if I have the APK for the GEAR MANAGER software that goes on the phone is that loaded by way of adb. I have gotten myself all turned around in that i know how to load ape's onto the watch itself using adb, but I do not recall if that is the same process for loading the apk for the Gear Manager onto the phone.
Perhaps I should attack this from this perspective. I have downloaded the latest GEAR MANAGER software from a thread on this forum. How do I get it onto my phone. I no longer use Wondershare as my trial ran out. But I know the adb process quite well. I just son't know if I install the apk to the watch or to the phone, and if to the phone where
Thanks so much

Sorry I misunderstood you. I thought you wanted software onto the watch, but you need it onto the phone! I think? If so, what kind of phone are we talking about here, and what android version is it running?

Thanks for your patience in trying to help me.
I have a Galaxy Note 3 and running the latest android, but not KitKat. Would You believe i have actually loaded Gear Manager software before But I simply forgot how I did it. I have to load the updates for Gear Manager manually because I am running a custom rom with Null 19. I just don't remember how I loaded the updates in the past

The update your checking is the firmware in gear manager for the gear. You need to go into the Samsung apps on your phone and update gear manager from there.
That's Samsung app and not play store lol. Good luck

Click the link below for gear manager application install/update. At the prompt choose to open with "Samsung apps" which should be previously installed.

I did as you directed and went into Samsung Apps on the phone and I did not see anywhere a vehicle to upgrade the gear manager. All I had was a bunch of watch faces
Or just download the apk

I had this app working perfectly on my gear and my note 3.
When I opened it on the watch, it also opened on my phone.
Now, it has stopped working. When I try to open it on the watch, it says "install map my run from the playstore on your phone to continue"
It IS installed on my phone and works fine there. I tried deleting and reinstalling it on both the phone and the watch, but it still does the same thing.
It sounds like you need to either update your Gear to Tizen or rollback Mapmyun on the phone to a pre version 3 version if you want to stick with Android on the Gear.
See my post about mapmyride here

Thanks for the info, but where did you find a pre 3.0 version??
I restored a previous version backup from Titanium Backup.

Do you have a Samsung phone? If not, did you install the actual Samsung apps? I believe there is one that has been modded to work with non Samsung phones.
Yeah. I'm running the official gear manager on the note 3.

I loaded the Great Britain tizen on my Gear, and all works, except the gear manager shows a blank screen for samsung app. Is this normal? are there any apps to sideload, and how do you do that?
Thanks!
Jim
No that's not normal. What build version did you flash?
There's no sideloading because it's Tizen based not android. Unless someone knows of Tizen apps not on the market.

Thanks for any help!

You might have a bad download, or flash of NE9. Try downloading and re-flashing again. Or you can possibly download and flash the latest update ending with NF1.

OK, I'll try it. All I did was use odid v3.09 in defaults to flash over the android os. Could I have missed any steps?
I'll put the canadian (XAC) NF1 on it tonight,
I believe you did everything right. It's a simple process. Sometimes file downloads can be corrupt. I had one that kicked my butt for 2 days. I downloaded and it was fine.
Try the Canadian NF1 and see what happens. It's the one I'm on with my note 3 and all is well.

OK, thanks. It's just strange the error shows up on the gear manager, the watch is solid. should you remove the watch from gear manager before the update?
It's a good idea to do a complete fresh install and pairing. So when the gear connects uncheck the restore box so it doesn't try to reload old android apps.

define "fresh install"? I cannot uninstall gear manager. I did uncheck the restore box.
Thanks
On the gear enter stock recovery and perform a factory data reset. Use Odin to flash new firmware. When gear pairs with phone for first time do not restore old gear settings. Start fresh.

I factory reset, and flashed the latest Canadian one, and there was no difference. Gear Manager shows no Samsung Apps. All else is fine. except I cannot get it to connect to bluetooth headphones for the media player.
Puzzled,

There appear to be a few of us United-Statesians who are having this problem, Jim. I experienced this issue on my Note 3 when i prematurely flashed Tizen, and another user in response to a thread I posted a week back noted that he experienced the issue as well.
At least you can rest assured that it is not just your phone or Gear.
I even flashed the XAR version of NF1 today, and still no luck.
Oddly, though, I was able to see the apps in the store for a short period of time, when the app store notified me of an update to watch styler. I've been able to reproduce the effect by installing an old version of watch styler, waiting a few minutes (anywhere from 15 to an hour), and then going into the app store for the update. For some reason, when the gear app store sees the need for an update, it allows you to view all of the apps on the store. Not sure if it works with updates to any other apps, but I don't see a reason that it woiuldn't. An odd workaround, I know, but it may work for you as well.
Good luck!
No apps fix
In my case I had my Samsung Gear updated from Android to Tizen (NE9 version) and my Note 3 updated the Gear Manager automatically, when detected Gear with Tizen.
I tried all the steps above with no luck, so I uninstalled the Gear Manager (from Galaxy apps application) and rebooted the phone. Installed a fresh version of Gear Manager from Galaxy Apps and after connected with watch everything worked. Now I can see many apps for my watch on Samsung Gear Apps.
I hope this helps!
