Galaxy Gear and Galaxy S6 - No Notifications - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Hello Internets, new poster here.
After many hours of trawling through the internet and coming up short I thought I'd register here and see if I can't get to the bottom of my issue. I have a Galaxy S6, and a friend is lending me his Galaxy Gear original as he doesn't have much use for it anymore (switched to a Nokia running Windows). It's been fun to have and play around with, apart from one small problem; no notifications aside from SMS'. None whatsoever. I've gone through the gear manager and ticked every box for every notification setting and still I get nothing apart from texts and calls. Does anyone know why this is and how I should go about fixing it? I'm aware that it's an older device, but I see no reason why I should have these problems, its a watch DESIGNED for Galaxy Smartphones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

I should also mention that my phone is running Android 5.1.1 and the Gear is running V700XXUBNC1.
Coincidentally, I might put this forward, am I better off trying to flash Tizen? I've seen a couple videos on it, and it seems far far better than the Android software.

Hello,
I have a Galaxy j5 device (also a 5.1.1) and was also wondering if it will work with my gear1, did it work for you on your S6 ? Did you stay on android or switched to tizen, and which gear manager did you use, the one in the Galaxy App Store ?
Thanks

I still don't get notifications for anything but SMS, but it "functions" with me S6 fine I suppose. I've kept everything stock android so far, and the gear manager I'm using came pre-installed on the S6.

On my J5 I can download the latest Galaxy Gear app from the Galaxy store and it works but don't know if it will pair with gear 1, will be getting it next week, for sure the google play Galaxy gear app only supports the s2 and doesn't work on 5.1.1.
Also if I remember well for notifications to work on 5.1.1 the is an option in settings that needs to be flipped.

Notification access
Try enabling notification access in settings-security

Galaxy Gear work on older generation phone running kitkat?

I have been going through this forum trying to get my samsung galaxy S2 running 4.4.2 (CM11) to work with my galaxy gear. Tried installing gearmanager/stub but it loop at connecting to gear even though it is already paired. Can't get pass this. Anyone got this working with older generation phone want to shed some light? Don't know if you need to get your GG rooted first as it doesn't seem like you need to install any specific app on it. Is it possible to get older galaxy phone to work?
Well I guess this is a long way to get a no as a answer..:cyclops:

You can't do it the Samsung way, you would need an official 4.3+ android build from samsung for that. You can, however, try it using a little project I'm working on (porting Kitkat & Google Wear to the Gear) when it's finished, so don't abandon all hope just yet .
I got it working on a galaxy nexus. Put stub into system / app and install stub from there. Then take gearmanager.apk and change its extension to .zip extract all the apps from the zip and install them all. Then install gear manager and reboot the phone. It'll work
If your phone isnt rooted, you cant write to the system folder.

Does not work either on my Galaxy S2 running CyanFox 2.0.2 (CM 11, Android 4.4.2).
Can't run Gear Manager from XDA.
I ended up installing NULL on the Gear, so I have an Android device up and running.
Tried ATN Manager as well, but no luck in receiving notifications on the watch.

I have a feeling you may need a device with Bluetooth 4 le?
I am running with null rom on my Gear and AOKP KitKat on my Original Galaxy Note (same generation as the Galaxy 2, not sure which bluetooth version) with great results.. They pair nicely. I am able to make and receive calls hands free with Google Now launcher and offline voice recognition. I can send and receive texts via Tablet Talk without being tethered to the internet (not completely hands free but with excellent voice dictation- again with offline voice recognition). I receive notifications without having to do anything special (In fact, with Google Now Launcher, I can read the incoming text when I pull down my status bar..When I click on it, Tablet talk opens for me to respond).
While I have Gear Manager loaded, it seems to be useless to me for the most part. None of the Samsung apps seem to work with the exception of the dialer and the contacts on ver 1.6x. I recently tried to update to the latest version in an attempt to get the runtastic pro app working. While I got it running (the latest GM), all I really suceeded in doing was wiping my Gear and losing the samsung contacts app working. I would eliminate GM alltogether but I suspect that the phone application has some dependancy..lol..
Here's a video of my setup working for making phone calls..

Hey android01, what galaxy nexus do you have, GSM or CDMA? I have the CDMA running CM11 and can't get my Gear running tizen to pair with my Gear Manager. I have installed multiple versions of the Gear Manager. I moved the GearManagerStub.apk to the /system/app folder on my Nexus and installed it from that directory. Then I installed the Gear Manager apk's one by one and then installed the app and it doesn't connect to my Gear. Any suggestions of what else I should try? I even tried installing the apk's using adb. It connected when I was running null_23 and on the stock firmware. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot pair Gear 2 neo with my phone
Hi, I just JB my gear 2 neo. The jailbreak went out OK, the problem is that when I try to pair it with the phone, cause it wont pair, my gear 2 neo is just stuck in the "Selct device on gear manager" window and my phone is stuck at the "connecting to gear" window. Now, this phone is a chinese one running kit kat 4.4.2 and it's temporary (I'm getting an LG G3 soon). I was wondering if that issue is caused by my phone model (solone SL-SA5) or if I did something wrong.

Thank you for replying. Well, actually, it's ticked. Turns out it is paired with my phone but can't get synchronized with the gear manager. Let me explain myself: My gear shows as linked in my bluetooth seetings on my phone. The audio thingy is ticked, but when I start the gear manager and I try to synchronize it, my phone supposedly starts syncing but the gear beeps twice and it won't sync, it wouldn't do anything. Anyway, I'm buying an LG G3 soon and I'm giving away this one to my father, but still I'd like to be able to synch it with that phone in case I decide to give my dad my gear 2 in the future.

I installed the latest gear manager available in this forum, but I can't seem to find the multimedia control. IDK if it has to do with my phone model (LG G3) Or just the gear manager version I installed. Does anyone have info bout this issue?

Did you ever manage to get Gear Manager to connect?

Modded apps. Are installed via your phone. And pushed through gear manager as an apk
Has there been any discussion on doing a cosmetic overhaul in the rom, such as replacing the icons for pedometer, messages, etc? The basic icons on the fit look okay, but for something larger as this watch, it would be nice to see something colorful and more stylish. Especially if people are using the watch styler app to try and get a premium feeling look watch face. Thanks for everything you have done!
Gear 2 Neo with LG G2
Hi, I got my new Gear 2 Neo over the black friday weekend ... I'm using it with my LG G2 and it works good for the most part.. I'm using the Gear Manager APK version 2.1.14062401
installed on my phone.
Following works fine:
All notifications (Email, SMS, Whatsapp, GMAIL etc)
All the stock apps like pedometer, exercise, sleep, heart rate etc..
Dialer (dialing out and answering calls)
Clock
what doesn't work:
Alarm
Weather updates
Answering to texts (I understand this wouldn't work anyway)
Sync with S-health (or any health app)
My question is 1) Does upgrading to Tizen 3.0 mod fix any of the issues that isn't working on my phone ?
2) I don't care about alarm or weather updates, but the Gear 2 Neo doesn't provide too much info on steps/exercise or Sleep.. Does the tizen mod address this issue? Can we sync with S-health or any other health app from non-samsung phones..??
I'm asking this purely because if the new mod doesnt address my issues, I wouldn't bother upgrading it (as I'm worried I might brick it)... Please advise.. Thanks

This thread is for the Gear 2 Neo, which does not have a camera. I believe the dev has another thread for the Gear 2 with the camera. You should probably use/install that one and hopefully it fixes your problem.

Switching between apps

Hello.
Today, after update of apps on my galaxy tab s 10 lte, I did some research on just instaled updates, and suddendly, I got supprised, that switching between apps worked in other ways than always - on bottom of screen I got 3 icons on black background (just like here: aboveandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/android-5.0-L-1.jpg]) and while swapping on that bottom I was switching between currently working apps
I don't have idea, how I got to that mode, and I don't know in which app I activated this mode, but it looks like somthing from andoid 5.0, which unplanned got to some app (on my tablet I have only applications from andoid market, from offical google profile). I have andoid 4.4.2 on my galaxy tab s
Have someone got the same mode? I liked it very much (it is much easier to switch between apps than standard button and choosing app), but I don't have idea how I got to it.
Can someone help?

Can someone help me ?

Gear S3 with MI Mix

Has anyone tried Samsung Gear S3 (Frontier if it matters) with Mi Mix? how was your experience? i'm thinking of getting an Gear S3 Frontier but i want to make sure it works properly. The reason i'm asking is that i've had some problems receiving notifications on my Moto 360 with android wear. i'm wondering if the same applies to the Gear software/watch aswell. i'm using Fenix 3 with Garmin Connect atm and haven't had any problems. Thanks in advance
The notifications etc come through fine when using the Gear S3 with the Mi Mix. The problem you will have is the Gear Manager app doesn't work correctly do you won't be able to install new watch faces our new apps on your Gear S3. All the pre-installed apps work fine.
Sent from my MIX using Tapatalk
I've been using the Mi mix with the Gear S3 for about a month now. Notifications work fine for the most part including whatsapp and other 3rd party app notifications. A couple of things to keep in mind are that as mrjubei72 mentioned the app store will not load apps so you cannot download any additional apps or watch faces and can only use what came by default with the watch. I started with a vendor rom tried the Global stable china rom and now I'm on the EU rom and have this issue on all roms regardless of root status. Another minor problem is that you cannot browse your phone's music library through the music app on the S3. It shows you whats currently playing and gives you the usual volume skip/repeat controls etc but wont let you browse other artists and chose a different song. The S3 music app widget does however show now playing on youtube and soundcloud which is handy. The last issue I've encountered is that unless you set up all 3 gear apps to be allowed to run in the background on MIUI it will keep disconnecting from the watch. This can easily be solved by tinkering around with the permissions and power saving settings on the Mix.
Besides the limitations while using it with the Mi Mix the Gear S3 is a fantastic watch. S health can be downloaded and works great to track activity. The battery life is phenomenal will get through almost 2 full days with the screen always on and on high brightness. The included watch faces are excellent and the Tizen interface along with the rotating bezel make it a pleasure to use. If you're considering it I'd definitely suggest getting the watch you will not regret it. As far as the app store problems we're hoping they will be solved with the official Global rom when it is released but I wouldn't count on it.
I am using the Gear S3 with my Mi Mix and I don't have any problems. I was also able to download apps, but now it looks like the samsung store won't open...
But, I am encountering a real problem (due to the Mi Mix way to handle bluetooth) where if my Gear S3 is connected, I can't use any other bluetooth device (such as my car audio system). I will have to force the connection to my car system and won't get any notifications until I manually connect to the Gear again...

Does Samsung pay work with the gear s3 and mi mix?
I don't think any Samsung market app will work on non Samsung devices without some sort of intervention. If you buy or use Samsung watches you will need to keep this in mind, having come from a number of Huawei devices I had to let my Samsung watch go [sold it] and moved on to a more generically compatible watch [in this case a Moto 360].

I was running the China ROM up to 8.2.3 and everything work including installing new watch faces. I recently switched to the Global ROM 8.2.1 and I can no longer install watch face. Does not make sense as to why it won't work other than a Samsung control issue.
Any workaround for this? Can't install any apps on my Gear S3. Any ROMs currently compatible with Gear Apps?

I took the plunge and got a Gear S2 and so far everything works fine, notifications, calls, etc ... between the watch and the phone. You MUST give the three apps permissions and take them off battery restrictions. I have them all on auto start too. The ONLY issue is if you want apps or new faces you will have to find some way to side load them, as the Samsung App market will NOT run on the mix. Otherwise I am pretty happy with the combination of the two, I do use S Health also and so far no issues there.

The app doesn't run because its checking for things a Samsung only has [proprietary things], it can be fooled but its a lot of work and often makes things unstable.

Well, it shouldn't​ be checking for anything proprietary as the Gear S3 is designed to work with all Android devices. From what I've seen, only the Mix is facing this issue and not other Mi devices. So it looks like its something about the Mix that's causing the incompatibility.
The gear app just started working for me on the unofficial RR build. I'm not sure how or why because i didn't flash a new build, but it works. Hope this helps
Same here out of the blue the Samsung app built into the gear manager started working. No idea why.

Not referring to the Samsung Gear App, I am talking about the Samsung Galaxy App Store. Which does check to see if it's a Samsung running the app.
Mine randomly started working as well.
