How did you get watch styler to work after the upgrade? I also confronted Samsung about the lack of apps for Gear 1 owners now running Tizen (14 available for me), and they said that unfortunately only a few Gear 2 apps are currently compatible for Gear 1 owners- even though internal specs of the 2 watches are nearly identical (not to mention OS is the same).

first time I installed tizen,it asked me to restore, I restored and everything worked good, ,just no apps in Samsung app store
watch styler worked and it was the last opion in clocks
it worked with all my rolex watches, analogs, I never tried digital ones before
then I found someone else had the no apps problem, I uninstalled gear manager, then installed the new version....then it told me it will restore my watch to factory settings, it did it,and then I lost everything
watchstyler everything
but now im thinking in the next few weeks there will be a watchstyler for tizen

That makes sense since I was in the process of installing a fresh ROM on my S4 at the time also and started out completely new with BT pairing to the newly flashed Tizen Gear and let it download Gear Manager from there.
Oh well, goodbye Watchstyler for now. :crying:

I was bored yesterday and wanted to see if there were any updates, to my surprise there was a update for the gear manager. I installed it last night and apart from the updating process totally bugging out and freezing my phone needing a battery pull to fix....after the restart it installed fine.
I am now getting much better battery life out of the gear...it's at 99% after 3 hours off charger and moderate use. And that's with a watch styler face! So definitely worth doing this upgrade. Also...I would highly recommend uninstalling watch styler prior to the update. Then 're download a new one from the store.
I hope that I see some differences in power management.. So far what was the main issue for me is EXACTLY the same-
1. no change in contacts => they are still listed BY THE FIRST NAME - for me useless as I have a lot of contacts (In CONTACTS - GEAR Watch displays contact names listed by first name – even if they are listed on the NOTE3 by last name - this is true bug)
2. Still no way to see "contacts" and "favorite contacts" => You can only see one OR the other - I need BOTH!
Please list here things You would like to get - maybe SAMSUNG guys are reading this forum... for me:
- predefined SMS answers for the incoming calls
- battery level on the main screen (can be done through watch styler)
- ability to display temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity… (all of those sensors are in NOTE3... but maybe some of them on the watch as well?)
- seconds on the main screen
- calculator
- compass
when going to the Samsung store it prompts to install on device.
On device it does nothing when trying to update. Anyone else getting this same issue?

I just installed on phone, then had to re pair and restore to the gear.
If your having issues, uninstall gear manager and 're install

Well that worked and fixed alot of the problems i've been seeing (Contact sync, Call history, etc)
I think i lost my root though. It did a reset of the gear. I probably could have stopped it but before i realized what i did...it was too late.
I just lost root as well, it tried to restore but got to 94% then error.

I've found that un-installing Gear Manager and resetting the Gear is the most reliable way to do the update.

Anyway I can get an apk of this somewhere? Still waiting for them to update my Mega to 4.3 and so far haven't gotten my brick watch to work properly on the older gear manager apps.
Can someone please upload the newest update. It would be greatly appreciated

v1.2.131013 (23 Oct): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46754713&postcount=10
I'm seeing v1.2.131013 (23 Oct) (This is the regular Samsung app store (search for Gear) not the gear app store (LOL so confusing)
The install hung on me at 3 of 19 but rebooted my phone and it installed fine over the other version when it came back up,

Interesting. They must've updated the app version number, but not the store version number. I just checked my app (the apk I posted before) and it is actually the 131013 version!

V1.5.121601 issue
so I woke up this morning all happy about the latest Gear Manager update and the fact that going into notifications and selecting more notifications showed the texting app I use Textra. Selected it and tested and sure enough it worked just fine, now that part happened on the 26th. Back to this morning (27th) and there is another update version 1.5.121601 and without asking me the little beastie proceeded to update. We all know the routine after the update, comes the restore question I answered 'yes' finished. Went into gear manager (yes the watch did install) and selected Notification > More Notifications, and that where the program froze. after about 2min it came up with an informational prompt "Gear Manager isn't responding. Do you wish to close it?" elections were Wait and OK. choosing Wait gets a 2min wait time and then the same message, OK closes out the program and then restarts it.
I have,
set everything back to factory resulting in same result
reset the watch and the note 3 resulting in same result
uninstalled/reinstalled Gear Manager same result
any ideas or is there a way to roll-back to the previous version
thanks for reading :fingers-crossed:
Hey guys,
Just got a Gear and trying to get it working with my Nexus 5.
I have read through the guides and always get stuck with connecting Gear Manager;
Flashes installing 0/2
Connect Manually; if I am already connected via Bluetooth it disconnects and never finds the device
Connects, takes me to a restore option.
Selecting either Restore or Reset will fail and start the process over.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I had that previously too. Thats because you have previously made a backup using Galaxy Manager.
Delete the backup file on your phone and factory reset your gear, it should work
That did it!
Thanks for your help.
wanted to advise where the backup file is but I couldn't remember so perhaps you can post it here for others to reference
Root of your SDCARD, .bs_backup or something.
Right now trying to get the latest Gear Manager to work so I can use Watch Styler but the phone won't seem to sync.

I don't think any apps work if gear manager doesn't work. And gear manager doesn't work (fully) if not on a touchwiz rom
Gear Manager 1.6.111801 works fine on my Nexus 5 but I can't get Watch Styler to work.
Well, I actually got it updated to the latest Gear Manager release by just updating after the previous version worked.
Reinstalled Watch Styler and Force Stopped Gear Manager but still no luck; I cannot see Watch Styler Clock under Gear Manager > Clocks as an option

Yes, gear manager will work on any phone, it just won't work as a middle man if not a touchwiz rom
It's working fine for calls contacts and logs, using ATNotifications for everything else!

Yeah, but they are just standard Bluetooth functions that don't require any 3rd party stuff
This is the issue we've always had since the start

You need to install watch styler on phone version 1.0.9 during installation keep paired the phone and gear manager status connected... After that you can change style clock, after installing it. Close all. Close hear manager and open again and going to the application menu and go back. Open clock and appear watch styler clock.

Dear i have galaxy manager installed on my nexus 5 and also have watch styler installed. But when i try to change face using watch styler it take me to the galaxy manager but i can't see the watch styler in the galaxy manager. Please guide me how i can use it
hello guys
today i bought a galaxy gear. Previous i read that it is possible to connect the gear with my nexus 5. But i tried many gear managers but by version 1.2 ans 1.6 connections fails by higher versions the app crashes.
I hope you can help me. Please give me the link to the gear manager that you use maybe a an ibstruction too.
Thanks
Hi im pretty new to everything about roms and so on, but i have a galaxy gear with null rom. And since my phone is a z1 i cant use the gear manager. I am using the apex launcher, and i got it working this night so i pretty much dont know anything about it yet. I have downloaded the watch styler and so on, but if i chose to use it, it only say "Download gear manager" So what i wounder is can i get it to work with my apex launcher without the gear manager?
Gear manager is the link between phone and watch. You need it
You should still be able to install gear manager on your phone, just check one of the threads on non-touchwiz (Samsung) devices
i find watch styler drains battery life so i ditched it.
I have just about banged my head on the wall with this dang gear watch maaaan. So I was trying to install null23's custom recovery (didn't stick) and I had to re download the firmware for my gear watch so I dl the latest one on the sammmobile website and I ended up on crappy Tizen maaaan. Since then life has been hell with this watch. I can't re root it and now my pedometer won't sync data to m s5. I get all my notifications just fine but my pedometer won't sync. On my s5 It gives me a error message to sync using the proper gear app which I already have installed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled samsung gear manager went into the pedometer settings and the share via button is grayed out. I don't know what to do like for real for real, I've did some searching around but no definite fix. I work on my feet and with my hands so it's really hard to do extensive searching on the clock and to be honest after work I'm beat so before someone gets on me about searching I thought I'd put that info out there. Thanks in advance:good:
Hi, i have same issue here, exepect all my stuff are stock non-rooted.
I can't get the sync to work between gear 2 lite & S-Health on S5mini.
I did factory recovery many times on both unsuccessfully...

Hey everyone,
I just got a Galaxy Gear 1 and updated it to Tizen. I paired it with my HTC One, and everything works fine, but I'd like to get a few more apps for the gear, maybe a calculator and a weather app or something. I searched google, but I can't find a place I can download Tizen apps or wgt files without using the gear manager, which doesn't give me an option to download apps on my non samsung phone. So my question is obviously where can I get these apps?
In the gear manager app on your phone there is an selection for gear apps, you may need to set up a Samsung account.
