Galaxy Gear with Galaxy S4

I just got the Gear and saw a video online showing someone using it with their S4. I couldn't get the app. Its not available on the Samsung apps store or Google Play. Anyone else get it working?

I have it with my S4 and can find and download the Gear Manager in Samsung APPS. Search for Gear and find "Samsung GALAXY Gear Manager".
Not everything working but ok.
Cheers, Jorge

I'm using Gear with my Galasy S4 and already when i was on 4.2.2 i found Gear manager at Samsung Apps.but now with leaked firmware 4.3 all works like a charm.

[Gear with Galaxy S4 or Any Galaxy Series] ... First of all, Galaxy Gear will only works with Galaxy (with Android 4.3), but at the moment they are with Android 4.2.2, so ... you will check out the apps for Gear and your Galaxy HERE below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476319
You will find all the apps (at the moment), and the main app to connect your Device with Gear is ... GEAR Manager (you need to download this first.
Good luck!

Yes, I'm waiting for it ... I'm using S4 I9500 (not I9505 with 4.3 leak.)
Thanks.

4.2.2 no go for S-Voice
Guess, this what shows up when your phone isn't on 4.3 JB, right?

Are you sure in 4.3 everything works. Because I tried 2 different touchwiz 4.3 roms. And none of them worked. Gear manger said device was not supported

I'm running Hyperdrive on my s4 and the svoice notification is as far as I get too. I'm tempted to try a 4.3 and see if anything works better

It works but not everything. S VOICE, weather, txt and email alert doesn't work on me using a 4.2.2 rom.
Media control, answer/make calles, change watch face, install apps via apk not using thw samsung app store all work. I'm sure that are other things that work and other things that don't work. I just can't remember all right now

Not that I notice anything monumental on saving juice. Maybe, there would be a significant change once my S4 is on 4.3 JB cuz I know I can check notifications, use S-voice as it's meant to be and what not so less time unlocking the phone and screen usage... although phone's BT is running all the time so Gear could remain tethered to it but i believe it's BT 4.0 LE*, right?
*LE, Low Energy... though am not sure it's got a real world impact or just a marketing scheme...

Nope I didn't see any faster battery drain on my note 3 9005

Alright, so I have been tinkering with my watch and have a few questions. I have rooted my watch and installed busy box, and all is going well so far. Additionally, I am using my watch with my S4, rather than my Note 3. I wanted this topic to be more of a few questions and general discussion/clarification.
I have installed the newest Gear Manager and when I go to Weather on the watch I get "Add city to weather widget on mobile device" but it never seems to sync. I have added a location to the weather widget. Is this by chance just a feature thats not quite working on the S4 yet, or am I missing something?
Pedometer - When I try to send my steps to SHealth it fails to sync. Also, known S4 issue, or missing something?
Gear Manager - Unable to install apps - When I navigate to My Apps > Featured > MyFitnessPal for Samsung Galaxy Gear (or any other app), I select Install, and I get "Product does not exist in this store(4002)". Im guessing this is because the Samsung store is reading my S4 build.prop and determining there are no compatible apps.
In re the last topic, could someone send me the APK from their watch for this app, Ill side load it.
I am at the office and want to install some apps via ADB, but don't have my cradle handy. Is there any way to get an APK to the watch that anyone can think of?
I am working on recompiling the stock camera app that does not have the shutter sound. Ill share when I get it done.
Update: Here is a thread with all of the APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468522
Thanks!

I got every thing working on my gs4, including svoice, text notification, and weather by using the 4.3 rom. I also downloaded the latest gear manager from a post in this forum and ot seems to work great, including allowing me to download apps from samsung.
Gear is rooted, running smart launcher, a few games, camera silent hack, and everything is still working.

i have an S4 and cannot get weather or texts to work! Samsung needs to give us 4.3 on the ATT i337 now!

Any cyanogenmod S4 users have any success using the gear ?

Omni ROM NO Samsung Hub

I recently installed the Omni 4.4.2 20140306-tolte-NIGHTLY on my Tmo GN2 because I need the Bluetooth tethering option. However, I need Samsung Hub so I can install gear manager on my phone. I tried installing the apk file with no success. Can someone please help?

I'd bet this is yet another case of Samsung designing software to break on anything than their own firmware.

Most likely. I've read that as long as I have a deodexed international custom ROM, I can make it work. The international ROM gives me the Bluetooth tethering option I need and a deidexed version skies me to install Samsung apps.

The whole point of many people working on projects such as Cyanogenmod and Omni on Samsung devices is to remove all of Samsung's bloatcrap.
In the case of Gear - Why would anyone purchase it when there are cheaper and better options that are fully compatible with all Android devices instead of Samsung's restricted bull****?
It's utterly stupid that the Gear, which (given all of its onboard processing resources) should be able to operate in a more standalone fashion than any of the other smartwatches out there is, instead, the MOST dependent on its host device!

I appreciate the feedback. When I purchased the Galaxy Gear, I guess I assumed I could make it do what I wanted to do since we all pretty much have those capabilities when it comes to rooting and third party custom ROMs. I'm sure there is another way, a back door, if you will to get through installing gear manager. My first thought was to find the APK file and install it that way, but the procedures I've tried doesn't seem to work. If there isn't a way yet, then this is something for the techies to try and sort out.

I think I might've found it, but I can't verify because I don't have my gear with me, but I searched aptoide, found gear manager and installed it to my phone. I'll reply later if this works with my device.

No luck. Back to square one. The application downloaded and installed and even paired to my device, but nothing else showed up on my gear.

I don't see anything new in Samsung apps, I have nowhere near the number of avalible apps you do. Maybe the uk is just lagging behind.

Turns out I needed to spoof my build prop so that my Note 3 looked like a Sprint Note 2. Seems Samsung are being weird with their restrictions.

Thanks for buid.prop edit solution. I'm in the USA on a Verizon S4, edited my build.prop to look like a Sprint note 2 and tripled the number of apps available in the store. I did notice I am not seeing a few of the apps that Phil999 posted pictures of and he is on a stock S5. I can see a clock face called Notification Watch that Phil posted but it is not showing with my note 2 workaround. Gotta do some more digging in the forums to see if someone has posted what the S5 build.prop edit is.

If Phil999 could post the values from his build prop we should be able to get the same apps as he sees.
Phil999 could you post the values for the following from your build prop
Code:
ro.product.model=SPH-L900
ro.product.name=t0ltespr
ro.product.device=t0ltespr
It would be a big help to us all.
I wonder if we could mirror some of the free app somehow , not sure on the legality of it though.

I think Phil is on a stock S5 probably not rooted so he may not be able to get into the system folder to look at the build.prop. The model number for the Sprint S5 is SM-900PZKASPR, so it may be we just need to change that in the build.prop. I will give it a try when I get home tonight.

I was thinking it might be useful to have an app that gave you a list of phones /models and set the build prop appropriately. This could significantly simplify the process.
I'll be looking into creating this over the next few days, the hard part will be building a database of models with settings that work.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

On Note 3 in Germany (all Stock) only about 30 Apps available at all.

If you have root access to go into your system/build.prop file then go to the below linked post. All you need to change is the model then save and reboot. You should have access to more apps. I change my model to a Galaxy S5 which I think gave me access to all the available apps.
ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SM-G900A (this is the only line in build.prop you need to edit)

Fleksy tips

Hello all,
Just playing around with the new version of Fleksy, and I found that if you are at the end of a word and you swipe down (or up) on the keyboard it will cycle between different words that are similar.
If you insert a period, and then swipe down (or up) it will cycle through punctuation marks!

Is there a known reason why I cannot get Fleksy to actually install on my gear. It downloads to my phone but not to the gear

Do other apps install ok?
Make sure you are logged into your Samsung account (and the account service is up-to-date). To log in, open the app store and touch the "Menu" in the top left. If you are logged in, you will see your login ID at the top of the menu. If you are not logged in, you should see a link that will allow you to do so.
I had the same install issue, however, my problem was that I had deleted some Samsung services (i.e. Samsung Account, etc) that were needed in the Gear app install process. Reinstalling those services fixed it.

This is a great hint! I was wondering how I could change auto complete words.

you have to launch the app on your watch first and then launch the app on the phone
make sure you install the language pack so you can use it.

While using the Note 4 and hunting for Flesky in the app store I dont see it. When I use my wifes S5 I see it.....
Contacted Flesky and they said it will be available with next update. Note 4 isnt supported at the moment.

at least they told you SOMETHING. when I contacted them they said it was all on Samsung. Typical "pass the buck" shenanigans

I'm not sure if it's because I had a gear 2 and then went to gear neo but fleksy we in my previously installed list and works with my note 4

[Q] Problem with Samsung App store for Gear 1 with Tizen + Note 3

Has anyone experience problem with limited app choice in samsung app store?
I've recently submited app for samsung app store, and it seems like samsung is categorizing gear apps by phone + gear model.
Everything is ok, but some models (notably Note 3 + Gear 1 Tizen) are missing from the list, so I can't download my (GetUp! Alarm Clock) and any other new app from the store. I just have some basic apps + watch faces which really sucks
Expecially that Note 3 + Gear 1 is quite popular combo.
Anyone can confirm this? What can we do about that?

That's strange.
I have selected all countries availiable so it shouldn't be the case.
It seems I can't be sure where and how my app is avaiable... And I don't have any way to verify it...
The only hint I have are two user comments, both written from S5 / gear 1 tizen.

I am running a nexus 5. I spoofed the Samsung s5. And am able to install the Samsung app store and browse apps. Sadley downloading/installing give me a fail. However the galaxy gear manager does not have a list for the Samsung apps market. Either the on android or tizen
