This is awesome! I don't have android wear yet, but planning on getting a moto 360 soon. I have a Hero 4 Silver and was thinking this would be an extremely useful app to have on your wrist, thanks for your work, can't wait to try it out!

Thanks, please keep in mind that I have tested this app only with the Hero3 White Edition, probably you will find issues with other models .

This is just what i thought was missing for the gopro.
I will be able to test it with a moto360 and a gopro hero4 silver in a couple of days and let you know the issues.
Thanks a lot for the work you've already done.

Very Very Cool
Hey. This is a great idea and thanks for your hard work to develop it. I tried to get the app to work but I can only seem to view the images saved to my GoPro and cant operate any of the the features which you described.
I have my Note 4 connected to my GoPro Hero 3+ via wifi and my Samsung Wear Live connected to my Note 4 via Bluetooth. I cant seem to be able to connect to my GoPro with your app. Any suggestions?? Thx much.

If you are able to see in your watch the images in your GoPro then that means that the connection between the GoPro and the phone and between the phone and the watch is working good. What do you see in your watch when trying to operate the camera?
I have released a new version with an option to send camera info and logs that will help me to understand the cause of issues like this. Please install the new version, connect your phone to the GoPro wifi network, open the App on the phone, selected the menu item "Send Log" and please send me that information with your favorite email app, you will be able to review the information that will be send or add anything you want.

I can not connect my gopro hero 4 Silver to the App. The Problem is that the App is Searching for a Connection (screenshot 1) and after ~ 5 seconds, the app will close. If i connect Via Wifi to my gopro (Screenshot 2) the App will closes directly.
Sorry for my bad english

It's working.
Thanks for the response. I went back and checked all of the settings and noticed that I had entered the wrong password for the Gopro Wifi Settings. User error of course. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks again for cool app.

As I can see in screenshot 1, you haven't configured the WiFi settings, you need to set the "WiFi SSID" field with the name of your GoPro Wifi and "WiFi Password" with the WiFi password of your GoPro.
Also you can connect the phone to the GoPro WiFi and open the app, it will try to set the settings automatically for you.

has it something to do with android 5.0?

my LG G3 also force closes and I can't seem to get it to auto-detect or update the fields manually
edit: I got it to update and connect, toggled my wifi off then opened the Remote app and it autodetected the settings, seems to work okay but I can't seem to get back to the main screen easilly, by that i mean my watchface

thumbs up, works pretty well

Lets keep it going
Hi everybody
I had a GoPro HERO2 (rusty one from 2011), I have a GoPro HERO3 Black, +Black, HERO4 Black cameras. Here is my work of documenting the commands of these cameras to control via WiFi: (damn I am new!!!) github dot com/konradit/goprowifihack
I was going to do an app too but there is this app too, why not merge? In the repo there are ALL of the HERO2/HERO3 Black commands for wifi control, will release HERO4 commands soon. The White / Silver / HERO2 work the same, this means commands are the same. The HERO3 Black and the HERO3+Black are more advanced and have different structures. The HERO4 Black and Silver are completely different from past structures.
Lets get this app up to date with all cameras and maybe voice commanding?

Thanks for this... I've never touched Android development, but this and WearBucks failing after AW5 update has pushed me to get my STS setup for it.
It's awesome to have some of this working so far on my 3+B.

great app!
First of all, thank you for this amazing it's really a great idea! :good:
I have, two question:
1) Why don't you release this one on the playstore? it would have a lot more user =)
2) I was thinking about a fonctionnality: would it be possible to add a "bookmark" button, during the shot of a video? (ultimately it would add a chapter in the mp4[limited by GoPro API I think...], but writing the timestamp in a file would be a nice first step) To help editing those video and retrieving the important moment of each video file.
[ If you have a public git for that, I would be glad to help implement that ]

Yeah same system, but for every H generation. And usable in any video editing software not just the gopro studio.
A simple text (or json xml etc...) file, with some timestamp, will do the trick.

Are reminders not possible on Gear S2?

I keep getting an error that my request could not be processed basically every time I use the word "reminder".
Has anyone been able to get reminders to work?

Where are you trying to put in reminders? Or are you just looking for a notification for a calendar event? If you are looking for notifications for Calendar events then just got to Gear Manager -> Notifications -> Manage Notifications and ensure Schedule is checked.

haha I saw that review and it actually doesn't answer my question because he is asking the same question.
"Is this an error that couldn't be processed, or are reminders just not supported? We reached out to a Samsung PR representative a day ago and have yet to hear back. So not only can we not create reminders on the Gear S2, it isn't even clear whether they'resupposed to be*supported or not."
I'm hoping someone on this site has more information.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/meeting-reminders-t3219499
That's the way I do it too.

I've had no issues with receiving reminders, it's creating reminders with S Voice from my Gear S2 that is an issue.

I have reminders set up in Google & they show up on the watch.

Yeah, I tried using S-voice to create a reminder and it was a no go. S-voice just runs into an error. Gizmag described my experience pretty well. Not really a feature I use, but it needs to be fixed.

Well S-Voice got reminders, so I guess it's just an error at this point.

As of about a week ago, I couldn't set a reminder like you described which is exactly why I returned the watch to Best Buy. sure wish it had this feature because it's an awesome piece of hardware.

I set reminders through an app from the Gear Store. It's called My Notes in Gear. I create a reminder on the phone and the watch goes off at the set time. Still wish I can do it directly through the watch through S Voice.

When trying to set a reminder from the watch (via voice command), S-voice replies, "Unfortunately, that is not supported."

Exactly what it did to me. For me personally, that was the one feature I used the most on Android Wear. If Tizen does not supprt this, I won't ever be purchasing another Samsung/Tizen device. (Not that I won't use Samsung products- just that I won't use Tizen based Samsung products until this feature becomes available.)

WHYYYYYYYY I want reminders!!!!!
Why has this feature not implemented yet? It seems so weird that no one actually can make this work.
The gear s2 has a mic, why cant they make a stand alone app/or integrate it with S voice that u can use with your watch?
Just record your voice command, set it as a reminder on your watch and bam! thats it! Instead of using your phone.
Im really disappointed with the lack of apps that are useful! Most of the stuff on Samsung Gear are watch faces which although cute they serve very little purpose.

reminders workaround
u need 2 apps (app launcher) and (s s voice pro)
I installed app launcher for my watch (called app launcher) and s voice pro for the phone ( this app will enable me to wake up my Phone, unlock it and open Google now without touching the phone device at all.
U can activate s voice through your phone but u wont eb able to get audio feedback from the phone itself (u might want to have a bluetooth headset to cummicate with the device)
I managed to activate google now and set a reminder note, however when asked what time I like it to be set, google now could no longer register my voice. (keep in mind that I was speaking to my watch and not my phone device). Prob something to do with my watch not the app.
Unfortunately my watch battery died before further testing. I will try and pair my phone with a BT headset and see if things get better!

I really hope someone makes something that works. Although the above solution works, its not 100% guaranteed that it will work as your voice might not register correctly every time, and without looking at your phone screen u wont be able to know if its working correctly. Seems like too much of a hassle for a simple task.
Really dissapointed this is not implemented as I use it a lot on my phone.

You can activate google now by installing app called wearable widgets and setting google widget as one available on your watch.

I use Google Reminders on my phone and get the notification on the watch. Doesn't work the other way though.

yeah works the same on my watch, tried some different apps but none of them are easy to work with.
I kinda gave up in the end. Just have to settle on the simple stuff that it does, and not recommend buying this to any of my friends.
I think in general smart watches are not there yet.

Set time without smartphone

Hi,
I received this gift (Samsung Gear S2) but at the moment my smartphone (Nexus 5) have some issues and i'm wainting that LG send me a new one or fix it.
I have a big issue, how can i set time without smartphone?
I have try all kind of reset but i do not obtain result.
I hope that this community can be help me to find a solution
thx in advance
bye bye

Hello KaiserOrn,
Unfortunately I believe there is no way to do that...
I recently found the need to do so because I rendered my Samsung Phone and replaced it with a brand new iPhone 6s Plus...
I tried and I tried and I tried but no joy...
I searched the internet for a solution for hours but I couldn't find anything or even that much people looking for the same kind of solution.
In my case I paired my Gear S2 with a friend's Samsung Phablet, reinstalled everything and now I have it in Stand Alone mode but with everything working as it should.
In my particular case I will have to wait for both Samsung and Apple to launch the Gear Manager for iOS and then we will see it from then...
For now I have my problem solved.
Although I solved my immediate problem, my Gear S2 serves as nothing more than an ordinary watch... LOL
Good luck on your quest.
Cheers.

Hmmm... not sure if this was missing in older firmware (I just got my classic 3G to replace my older sport 3G, so all I have to test is the newest firmware)...
On my watch I can go to Settings->Device and the last item in the list is 'Date and Time'.
Select that, and the first item is a toggle, 'Automatic'. If selected, the watch gets its time from the paired phone, and all the other items in the Date and Time list are grayed out, unselectable.
Toggle 'Automatic' off, and you will then be able to select Date, Time, and Time Zone items to set manually.
Of course, this may be a 3G-only thing, as it can always connect directly to the network and get the time. Still, since there is a manual mode, it makes no sense this wouldn't be in the non-3G versions too.

Dear dwallersv,
That option you mention above is only available on 3G models...
In non 3G models there is no point in having it since "automatic" mode will never have an time server to query...
The manual mode would work but they never made oit available.
Cheers.

Darn, I suspected that.
However, you're not quite correct, in that obviously the non-3G models DO get their time from the phone, so it is "automatic" in every sense that it is on the 3G. In fact, the 3G network can be turned off completely on the watch and it still get its time via BT (just as the non-3G versions do).
So 3G, from a technical standpoint, really has nothing necessarily to do with "automatically" setting the time on the watch.
Why Samsung left the manual setting mode out of the non-3G firmware is unexplained. It certainly has nothing to do with the functionality itself of standalone 3G capability, as is obvious in the way non-3G watches set their time to begin with -- automatically from the phone

I believe it is simply because samsung would like to have dependency on their products.
I would like to stop using a smartphone and I have a samsung tablet, which they choose to exclude from the Samsung Gear App. Samsung makes it impossible to use my watch without a phone which gives me the choice to use all or dump all while using a (Samsung) tablet with Samsung watch would be an ideal solution to me.

This is totally possible, that's how I roll. I use an Frontier LTE as my phone and keep a tablet on hand for tasks requiring a larger screen. I find that a watch & tablet combination is more convenient and efficient than carrying a smartphone.
There are a couple of folks on the forum who have installed the Gear Manager app on a Samsung tablet by modifying the build prop file. I want the flexibility of using multiple devices (iPad, Tab S2) without disrupting the watch's setup, so I have a disposable phone dedicated exclusively to managing the watch. It's permanently docked next to my home router and stays remotely connected to the watch, to pass along notifications. With a service like Digits, NumberSync, or Google Voice, all calls and messages are shared across devices. There is no need for them to to be paired via BT.
My setup is a little complicated, but your needs may be different. The S3 LTE (I'm not sure about S2 3G) does not need a smartphone. It can be setup without Gear Manager. Right out the box, it can handle calls and texts, provide basic info like time/date/weather, track fitness, set reminders, etc.
A watch can't do everything a smartphone can do, but it does some things better. A tablet can do many things better than a smartphone, but sometimes it's too big. A watch and tablet compliment each other perfectly.

I figured this out...
You need to go to "Settings", "About" and "Reset Gear" - note - you will lose all of your apps and watch faces when you reset your gear.
When setting up the gear, you will be prompted to install the gear software on your phone. Scroll down on your watch until you see the "?" for help in that screen.
Press the "?" (question mark button) and you will be brought to a new screen which gives you the option of using your watch without your phone. It says something to the effect of "If you would like to use your watch without a smart phone, press <u>here</u>.
Press underlined "here" and you will be able to setup the watch for use without a smartphone.
Again - this is a destructive reset! So make sure all of your apps and watch faces are synched in a phone first.

[Guide] How to use Tasker to fix all calls being sent to Gear S3

The Problem: On many non-Samsung phones, all calls, even when answered on the phone itself, get sent to the watch's speakerphone, requiring the user to manually switch the sound back to the handset every time a phone call happens. As a side problem, the watch conflicts with other Bluetooth devices capable of of being used for calls, like car stereos and headsets. Several threads on xda and elsewhere discuss these issues; however, the only solution posted is to disable the "Phone Audio" profile of the watch in settings. This is sub-optimal because it completely disables the ability to use the watch as a phone speaker.
The Solution: I have put together a series of Tasker profiles and tasks that utilize the BlueTask plugin to control the connection of the Gear S3. A convenient detail about BlueTask's disconnection method is that it only seems to affect the "Phone Audio" component of the Gear S3, leaving all other functionality untouched during a call. I use the proximity sensor to determine whether or not the call is being made/answered on the phone itself vs the watch. The assumption is that if you leave you phone in your pocket, bag, or face down on the desk, then you answered the call via the watch. I understand this is not a perfect method for determining which device is answering the call, but it works pretty well in my testing. In addition, an exception is made for when a wired headset is hooked up to the phone, as one may leave their phone in their pocket while answering using such a headset. Finally, an additional profile I call the "Car profile" will automatically disconnect the watch and disable its Tasker profiles while connected to specified Bluetooth devices like a car stereo, Bluetooth headsets, etc.
Setup:
Re-enable "Phone Audio" for Gear S3 if you previously disabled it (Settings>Bluetooth>Gear S3)
Install Tasker (if you haven't already)
Install BlueTask
Go to Tasker>Preferences>UI>Beginner Mode. Disable it (if it is not disabled already).
Go to Tasker>Preferences>Monitor>Display Off Monitoring>Proximity Sensor. Set it to "Yes"
Download the Tasker project attached to this post to your phone
Import the project into Tasker (Press and hold the home tab in the bottom left corner of tasker and then click Import)
Enter the new "Bluetooth" project and open "Car Profile" in "Profiles"
Delete the Dummy MAC address in the Profile and replace it with the MAC addresses of any car stereos and/or bluetooth headsets you use with your phone. If you have multiple of such devices, separate each address with a "/" (the magnifier glass icon does this for you). If you have no such devices, feel free to disable or delete this profile.
Open "Disconnect Gear S3" in "Tasks"
Open the "BT Connection" action
Replace the dummy information with your Gear S3's Name and MAC address
Repeat steps 10, 11, and 12 for the "Connect Gear S3", "Car Mode", and "Exit Car Mode" tasks.
Complete!
Let me know if this works for you. Also, suggestions for how this project could be improved are welcome.

Its works fine on #LGV20 so no need for this fix.

I've downloaded the project to my phone but when I launch tasker and try to import the profile I can't find the file, even though I can see it using a file explorer. I've changed the.Prj to .prf and Tasker sees it but when I try to import it it gives me an error that says the for contains multiple projects.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Is it downloading as a .prj or .prj.xml ? It should be the latter. If it isn't, rename it to have a .prj.xml extension. Otherwise, not really sure what is going on. I haven't had any trouble importing Tasker projects in the past.

Thanks for getting back to me. Im new with Tasker, the only reason I bought it was because of this issue and because I saw your post. All I needed to do was disable beginner mode in preferences, under Ui, and the house icon appeared, from there it was very simple to follow the instructions. Thank you for sharing your solution to this very inconvenient problem.
Once I get to test it ill make sure to give you feedback.

Hi i downloaded the App but seems it doesnt work for me. I set it up according your instructions but still no change. But i háve an idea i spoted that when i make call from phone i háve an option to choose which audio divice to use if i select my phone it doest work but when someone picks up and then i select it it Works. So i am thinking is there a way to make this automatic? That once someone picks up a call that it select this option right after.
Added 2 screenshots one from the Standard run and one of the option to select an audio divice when making a call.
Thx for any help.
Edit: Works Now thx alot i had an incorrect name set for the device... i will test it if it works always but so far so good. thx alot

I wanted to use this system as part of the automation workflow. The problem is that, when dialing someone, it switches the audio output when they pickup, instead of during Phone Offhook (the moment you hit dial). As a result, I can't detect the actual moment the audio device is switched, so I disable the watch audio entirely to prevent it from from happening.

Can you tell us, the other users, what you did to get it solved ?
As we are in a forum, others can benefit using your solution.
So please share.

I just got my Nokia 8 Sirocco, and I thought it was bad BT performance on my new device, when it probably is my Gear screwing me over. Thank you for this Tasker-project, I've just finished setting it up, and l am looking forward to seeing is effect!

Unfortunately, the macrodroid way don't work anymore for me.
Don't know why.
I am retrying the Tasker way. I get the error:
12.53.42/E FIRE PLUGIN: Connection / com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.action.FIRE_SETTING: 8 bundle keys
12.53.42/E Connection: plugin comp: com.balda.bluetask/com.balda.bluetask.receivers.FireReceiver
12.53.42/E add wait type Plugin1 time 60
12.53.42/E add wait type Plugin1 done
12.53.42/E add wait task
12.53.42/E Error: 2
Does anyone know what it means?
LE: When i am in the car i don't get this error. Everything seems to be with green dot. But the magic never happen. The tusker is not triggered. Should i make other settings to work?
I also tryed Bluetooth auto connect. Bad luck with that also.

Hi!
I've been meddling with Tasker for the past few days and discovered that choosing the Headset profile to connect to and disconnect from the Gear S3 works better for me.
I've started out with MehStrongBadMeh's guide and tasker xml file (many thanks by the way!), but found out my phone was unable to connect the Gear S3. It disconnected OK to connect the car bluetooth, but would not reconnect Gear S3. Running the task also gave errors as reported by few others on this thread.
But everything seems to be in order when Headset profile is selected for Gear S3. Will test out extensively and will report back if I need to change anything else.

I believe I created that xml was created before bluetask handled specific profiles, hence the need to explicitly set headset now. I don't actually use this profile anymore, as calls started being routed properly when I updated my HTC 10 to Oreo (and continue to be routed properly on my OnePlus 6).

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for this. I have just bought the Galaxy Watch and have a Samsung S6 Edge with lineageos. I was having the issue where everything was being rooted through the watch. Your guide has got this working as it was designed.
My notes would be for anyone trying this - do not change the device name as it doesn't seem to work (i am guessing this is referenced in other profiles) - just change the mac address to your watches Bluetooth mac address.

Any update on this I still get an Error 2 and it never seems to connect on its own to my car audio

Solved with MacroDroid:
Trigger: Call active (any contact)
Action: Kill application Galaxy Wearable
Constraints: Trigger fired Call active

Question Show incoming Caller ID on external screen - how to enable it?

Hello!
Right now when i receive a call, external display shows nothing. And i can't find any option how to enable it. When i open a lid, caller id shows as usual.
Is there an option to see incoming caller ID on external display at all? If yes, then how to enable it?
Thank you!

Under the cover screen section in Settings, there is an option to turn the screen on for notifications. I believe that needs to be enabled, but it will also enable turning it on for everything else.

Well, solved this. I didn't notice, that for many years i use not native Samsung dialing app. Till today used app "True phone", now switched to native Samsung app "Phone", and everything works fine.

Yep, I too have to set the Samsung phone app as default, but use True Caller wherever I can

May I ask what are the advantages of true caller? Being serious, I’ve been away from Android for several years now.

Off the top of my head I like the voice telling me who's calling before the ringtone, best spam call blocker I've ever used, easy call recording, great built in SMS, backup and restore and so on.

Thank you! Real quick, would you know of a streamlined way to transfer my data from iOS to my new phone when it gets here in Wednesday?

You might have to google that as I've never owned an Apple phone!

Smart Switch is available for iOS, but you may want to both back up the data using iTunes (or your preferred method) and double check everything it copies before deleting anything. It's not going to be the greatest because of the OS difference, but will work about as well as having someone at your local carrier shop do it.

Well I received my fold 3 and used Smart Switch. Worked perfectly and flawlessly. Thank you!

I have a gripe about the external screen and incoming calls. Seems sometimes it just plain old doesn't work and I have to open the phone to answer the call. Using the default Phone app.

Lame you have to use the Samsung phone app to make it work.
I guess change can be a good thing sometimes. lol.
