yes i tried all three ports...uninstalled the driver aswell from device manager

The Sony Smartwatch firmware updates automatically via the Bluetooth connection with the phone. My watch updated its firmware the first time I paired it with the phone and had the software installed. Is there a particular reason to struggle with the USB method?

Mine did the same. Checked this morning through USB just to see but was up to date.
I don't think it's necessary to struggle with the USB as it'll come automatically through Playstore and Bleutooth.
I uninstalled...

Hmm, that's curious, mine is still at .46, .80 is supposed to be the big update so I wonder what .60 is? Any noticeable changes on your watch? Could you head to the Play Store on your phone and check the version number of the SmartWatch 2 app from Sony, not Smart Connect. Mine is showing as 13 Dec, the 1.3.19 version.
As far as I am aware, there are no USB drivers for the smartwatch, so trying to plug it in to your PC shouldn't get you very far at all, unless there's some new tool from Sony I don't know about.

The one you quoted was the old firmware. Look carefully in your firmware version. There is a 3 instead of a 0 somewhere which makes yours the latest at the moment.

Best app for notification leds?

I've tried using light flow but never had it working properly or they would conflict is there any app out there that just works or works good after a little bit of messing about.
I hated not having it with my nexus S then when i got my 5 I thought I'd be able to use them the stock ones are not that good.
Sent from my Nexus 5

Cyanogenmod 12 has really good notification led support built in... But flashing a custom ROM just for that would be crazy ... ?

Haha prob yeah I usually stick to stock on nexus but I do want to install cm once theme engine is fixed, I like lollipop but it doesn't have material everywhere

Check out this one.

Thanks the screenshot earlier in the thread isn't the same as that one that's what threw me off

Thanks just bought it now do I need to disable the led notification on the phone its self so it doesn't conflict or is it ok

Well that's just the link of LED Blinker PRO. Don't know wether Light Manager Pro is better though since im using CM and don't need such an app
But you can get your money refunded if you don't like the app and uninstall it after testing

The Sound Mod Thread by ZuBi182

This is my Sound Mod Thread for S7
This is for Flat and Edge versions.
If your model is not compatible with the mod, upload your stock mixer_gain.xml and mixer_paths.xml located on SYSTEM/ETC and i do a specific mod for your model.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/themes/req-dual-speaker-t3339809

@zubi182 - Wouldn't we need root for this mod? I don't think we will be seeing root on our model.

Yup

Can we just remove this thread.

Can we revive this thread now that we have root, this sound mod looks amazing!!

@zubi182 Verizon has root! here are the mixer paths for SM-G935V

Now that we have root, just use Flashfire to install Viper4Android. That's what I did, and it works like a charm.

I don't recall all of the steps, but you need to disable stagefright in buid.prop, and the sound alive apk. I can't remember the page/forum I found it all on. Search S7 Edge Viper4Android on Google, that's how I found it. I had 8 teeth pulled today and am ****ed up on pain meds, at the moment, so I'm fairly useless. The amount of underlined words, due to autocorrect, on my screen, is ridiculous lmao

Facer on Gear S3 with iOS ?

Is that possible ?
If not, is there a way to install it OTA directly on the watch ?
Thanks !

Nope, not possible it needs to be running on the phone.
And Facer is crap anyway, it sucks the battery extremely fast.

Download failed. Try again

I just got the watch and i'm trying to pair it with a rooted v20 but it keeps telling me download failed try again. I used the most recent version of Samsung gear from the app store. Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
edit: I got that fixed but now the gear app keeps freezing and I cant finish connecting.

Anyone know how to resolve this? Fresh factory reset on both my phone and watch and get Download failed, try again

There is a problem with gear app and Custom ROMs or rooted phones.
Check this thread for a fixed version of the gear app.

I also had this problem with my HTC 10 (Custom ROM and rooted) and was able to fix it with this modified APK.

Nice to hear that it is working for you, too
I have this Smartwatch since a few days and was searching a lot, because I also had this "Download failed" problem.
I was about to get the watch back. I clicked from xda thread to xda thread and finally found this modified app.
Would be better if this thread is in the gear section ^^
