[Q] Nexus 5 and Galaxy gear

Hey everyone!
I am new here on XDA. So be gentle on me.
I have just recently bought a Galaxy gear. And i thought i would smoothly with my nexus. And it does.
I rooted the gear, and put on the Null rom on it.
My only problem, is that the ANT Manger app, does send notifications to my gear?
Has anyone stumbled upon that? Or may even have a fix?

Have you installed all the gear apks?

Samsung gear manager and Samsung accessory service for phones that can't install

Some phones can't install Samsung gear and Samsung accessory services from play store. The one plus 2 is one of those device.
Here is the two files needed.
Install gear and services and your good to pair. I hope Samsung makes this work with every phone.
Here are the updated APK's (as of this morning): 10/26
Gear Manager

Samsung Accessory Service

Samsung Plug-in

Hi, Where did you get these files from?

Nexus 6 and Google play. Copied the apk

Oh cool. I've just sent you a message

I got the message I don't have time to do any of that.

Samsung Pay
Does anyone when our what's up with samsung pay app for the gear s2 is it out yet my watch says no payment app installed in the tap and pay section

Same issue!!
Same problem here. I tried to use the tap-n-pay at a location where I normally use my Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S6 Edge, and nothing happened. On my Gear S2 watch I went into Settings/Connections/NFC, then scroll down to Tap and Pay - and I get a screen which says, "Tap and pay (then shows sketch of tap n pay) No installed payment apps"
And unfortunately there is no Samsung Pay app in the Gear app store. So upset about this.

Not for me. If the screen is on the always on clock then I get notifications. If its on the black only screen I get nothing. This isnt working like it should. Ive tired everything. Ive turned on always on mode and then turned of wrist gestures and the always on clock will only stay on for about an hour and then it will just be a black screen and Ill get nothing. With always on set to on and wrist gestures to on I will only get notification if the screen just turned off or always on clock showing.

Are you using the Oneplus 2?

Yes. You think thats the issue?

I'm also using the OPT. Are you on the stock ROM? I'm using an OPT 2005 running Grarak's CM12.1 port.

I need a real help from the experts in here please

Hello Guys,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy grand prime (SM-G530H) and I bought Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 classic smart watch. I tried to download the Samsung Gear from the internet. I can pair the watch with my phone through Bluetooth well, but when I use Samsung Gear application to connect to my S2 watch, a message appears "Gear Not found".
please, try to help me to connect my phone with the watch, since I can't buy another phone nowadays, since I'm really broke. I just wanted to try out that watch and paid all what i had to get it.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Are you just rooted our have you installed a custom Rom? Also have you disabled any apps/services?

Hello Tapatalk,
Well, my phone was rooted long time ago. I know now that Samsung Gear S2 is only compatible with Android phones with RAM bigger than 1.5 GB, but I'm sure there is a solution so that my phone can be connected to the my gear watch, since it's just useless now!
Kind Regards,

Try to pair the phone to the watch using the Samsung Gear app first, do not pair the watch to the phone under Bluetooth connections.

Also, there are files that many people remove when they are trying to lighten up roms. Your best bet is to backup your current Rom and flash a pure stock Rom. If you can't get things connected that way, you know it's a device compatibility issue

Hey guys I know it's unrelated but do you think there's an app that can emulate hard keys ie. Volume/Home, so I could like use it for the camera or some kind of camera app.
There're paid apps for it. But I have a non-samsung phone, I can't purchase any.

You may be able to do that with Task2 on the S2 and Tasker running on your phone. I use Task2 to set my phone on vibrate and to do some other things with it.

Thanks for the review

I can't find anywhere where the teste if it's possible to use and external hrm with this watch like the polar h7 (Bluetooth) do you know?

Is there any way to get access to Samsung pay on European S3 / S3 frontier, too?
We don't get the LTE version here.. sadly.

Please help!
I have Gear S3 Frontier & S7 Edge. My S3 is working great with exception of Samsung Pay. Actually, I don't even know where it is because it does not show up either on my S3 or Samsung Gear App. I tried many times opening the Gear App and select tab Settings and where Samsung Pay should be there is only the S Health tab and Samsung Galaxy App tab. Please help i have updated both softwares and even tried uninstalling and installing to negative results.

Yes, you can use the wall charger that comes with the S7E. I even use it for headphones & other electronics and is ok. The fast charging function will work only with the devices that have this function. In rest, the charger will be a normal (very good) charger.

What about hangout and whatsapp?
Hi, I couldn't find anywhere such an info. This could be a potential reason for me not to buy this watch.
Is it possibile to directly start an hangout chat or a whatsapp chat directly from the watch? I mean can I only answer to a recieved hangout or whatsapp message I guess, but can I even send a new message directly from the watch?
I own a Huawei Watch and, at least for Google hangout, I can start a new chat directly from the smartwatch.
Thanks in advance, this is really important for me.

Where can I download these watch faces? I cannot find them in the store.

Thanks for sharing.

Is there any sign of being able to assign any custom tone / mp3 / other for txt notification at all yet?

Samsung galaxy apps now working.

I have an S3 and have been waiting for this app to get an update so I can use facer. I had previously received an error that the ph1 isn't compatible, but this morning I tried again and it works! I've been very impressed with how fast apps have been getting updates to work with this phone.
So for anyone using an S2 or S3 or just want the app, it now seems to be working.

Screenshot of current version. Forgot to attach it and couldn't figure out how to edit original on my phone.

I run it through the Samsung gear app. It use to say incompatible but now works fine. It's not in my app drawer, however, and samsung pay doesn't work yet on the ph1 to my knowledge yet.

Samsung health and SMS reply from watch work alright?

It is working also with the gear fit 2

Gear s3 notifications and Samsung pay were broken with essential with latest update. Had to sideload a couple gear apps to my phone, but everything works now! More discussion and links here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/help/gear-s3-compatibility-t3699012

How are you using samsung pay? With the essential or directly with the s3?

Directly with the S3. You need special radios for it to work without nfc that the essential doesn't have.

Thinking of getting a gear s2 with a speaker in it. Can you confirm messages/calls work with the Bluetooth connection?

Anyone using Samsung Gear Circle bt headphones with this phone? Level U work fine (notification, music off when closed, etc. Gear circle does none of this
