[Q] Use NFC while the screen is off?

Hi!
I have tried to search but i couldn't find any solution for the N5. I'm wondering if there's any app or mod that makes it possible to use NFC tags while the screen i still off? I know from a security perspective that it's not a very good idea, but that's a risk I'm willing to take

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance

yessmen!! I solved this morning:
1) Install the new Xposed Installer (2.4 b1 I guess)
2) Install NFC LockScreenOff Enabler module
3) activate and configure it

Dude! Thanks alot! Will try this as soon as possible!

Hi, anyone succesfully done this?

I'm curious as to if anyone has gotten this to work as well (just for my knowledge) - I've only heard of it working before with custom roms that had the feature built in, but never as a mod... Somebody let us know - a video showing it working would be really cool.

If anyone wants an unrooted solution, you can try widgetlocker. Although the last time I tried this was with my old S3, I'm sure it will work with the N5. You still have to bring up the lockscreen but you can use the tag without having to unlock the phone.

do not install it if you've upgraded to lollipop. it dosent work with ART yet.

Any solution without xposed under L?

Tested this one on the Nexus 5 Marshmallow 6.0.1

[Q] Still Having Problems with Apps

I have Feedly, Appy Gear and Vivino installed on my Note 3 , but they do not show up at all in Gear Manager or on my watch. In fact, no downloaded apps appear on my watch. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Gear Manager , reset my Gear 2 and still no luck. The clock faces download and show up just fine.

The apps will install for me , but only on my phone, not on the watch. I have not found an answer anywhere for this as well.

I solved my "app not installed" error. I was running a custom rom and kernel. Went back to stock rooted and solved the problem.

I'm fully stock and un rooted and everything works as it should be. If u are rooted that might be the problem.

I had the same issue on an unrooted verizon note 3. Solution was to install a different version of Gear manager via the link below:

My bad, it wasnt gear manager - it was Samsung Apps.

I have the venom rom for the htc one m9
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA-Developers mobile app

i have the same Problem with force close of Gear Software on Venom Rom 9.0.0.0 for HTC M7 with the Gear S3.
The only solution for me was to try different ROMS , now i am on Nougat 7.1 SLIM Rom and ist working .
But i want to stay with Venom (sense Rom) ..... searching for solution

I solve it by installing older version of Gear app:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsun...msung-gear-2-2-16022241-android-apk-download/

...and keep it out from updates.
Other way, it'll continue to work, but if you'll try to enter Gear App to manage applications or watch faces, you'll get the FC message you're used with.

Samsung S3 Gear VS Sony Xperia Z5 Premium

Hi all,
i just got my Samsung S3 Gear classic and i was excited to get it working with my mobile. I download the Samsung gear app and turn the watch on, found the watch in the app and followed the messages. It asks to pair the devices and then to download the Samsung plug in and accessory from the apps stores. After completing these actions, the Samsung Gear app tries to connect to the phone and then the screen changes and shows the phone is pair but not connected. See pictures attached. This means i can only pair the phone but i can use the app to enable the functionalities. Every time i tried to connect it just takes me to the same screen. I tried resetting the watch, installing again all programs, tried the watch with Samsung phone (works fine), tried other watches with my mobile (same issue repeated) etc but never made them work.
Does anyone knows how to make the gear app work with the Z5? Are these devices compatible?
Thank you in advance for the support.

My Gear S2 works with my Z5 Compact.

Hi dersie,
did you follow the process as described above and works with your S2?

Yes, installed the first Samsung Manager and it asked for downloading others part like accessory, samsung account and others. After manager searching Gear and after click on my Gear name it launch a screen like your shot, after a while it say connected and asked for loggin on samsung account....

I have a Z5 Premium and it works fine with my S3. Are you on the stock Sony ROM?

The problem might be a rooted or modified phone.
Try this modded version of the gear app:

Did you try the modified gear app in my link?

I started with the watch, then downloaded the gear app and let the gear app download its services. it was very straightforward

I just installed the Samsung Gear App. So yes, download them and just install them.
The other 3 apps are installed automatically from PlayStore. If not you can install them manually too.

Hi Maik, i downloaded the gear app and manually tried to install it. I got the message that cannot be installed because it conflicts with another package same name. See photo attached. I am not sure what can i do. I uninstalled all previous Samsung applications.

This means the Samsung Gear app from PlayStore is still installed.
Check settings > apps and uninstall it > Reboot your phone.

Did that and still get the same message. Does not allow me to install the app.
I always stuck on the same step, pairing the phone and while gear tries to connect then return to the previous screen and do not connect...not sure i got many options here.
