Followed this guide and became beta tester to install latest Watchmaker (with support for S2/S3) - it's a bit of a ball ache but worth it

Yes you need the sign up for beta version. First join this community https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105639097153515068851 than use one of this links to sign up for beta
for premium version of the app: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/slide.watchFrenzy.premium
for free version of the app: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/slide.watchFrenzy
After signing up, if you have the app on your phone already, you should get an update for beta.
Thanks!
Now*where do I get the cool watchface of*watchmaker?
The app seems to be limited ...

Surely buying the note already gives us photoshop touch? so we should get the updates automagically?
I just got the update from going to samsung apps and searching for abode touch.
Says it's 1.3.0 though and mine was 1.2.0 but playstore version is 1.4.1

So I can update the included version of Photoshop touch on the Galaxy Note 10.1 from the Samsung Apps store? Mine is still v1.2 that came with it and I can't see how to update it via the Samsung app store. I am logged into the store and my download list is empty and there is no tab for installed apps. I click the Adobe touch icon in the Samsung Store and it knows it's installed, I can launch it from there, but I can't update the app.
I did a google search but I found a page on the adobe forums that said to update the Adobe Touch I had to wait for Samsung to update the firmware to get the latest version which doesn't sound right.

That didn't do anything unfortunately. It just asks me my location again, I pick USA and that's it. There is no tab for installed apps. I have a Downloads tab, I downloaded a app called star gazer, it shows up there. I uninstalled it and it's still listed in the downloads tab.

I am keeping my Note 10.1 stock and have checked for updates but there aren't any official updates at the moment. So maybe there is some truth to that adobe forums post. I might have to wait for the next firmware update before I can update the PS Touch app.

is just a firmware to process the commands from the app on your phone, not Android OS (ROM).

maybe you just misunderstood it
The box and manuals doesn't say anything about the firmware inside the watch, just how to update it. The only thing about Android that it is talking about are the SMART EXTRAS apps and the way to sync your watch with your Android phone.
see again the video promotional... Never talks about android on the watch, the market and the apps showed are for smart extras. What actually it does, is to show you what kind of apps you can get notifications on the watch but just that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7C-XuSEBPA
if sony would said that the watch came with android :laugh: I think a lot of people would have sued them for misleading advertising but it didn't happen.
This post makes my head hurt. Sorry. If the watch had full blown android it wouldn't require a phone to tell time.
Hi!!
I come from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-iphone-remarks-t3259155/page82#815
I have an iPhone with the Gear beta app, but i have the firmware R720XXU2AOJ3, which I have read is old. I need to update the watch to the latest firmware, but i have no compatible Android device to do that.
I have read this , so i think i could update my watch using this method. The problem is that i don't know what is the latest firmware and i don't know where i can download it. Anyone have the last firmware to download??
Thanks!
PD: Device model is SM-R720
Finally got my Gear S2 updated and working with iOS app. I had to reverse engineer the android app to force the compatibility with the android device and update the watch.
Maybe i could do a new thread with a tutorial about it
I dont know if i can close this thread, but if someone can, please close this thread.

I have seen it is a security measure included in latest Android versions (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...rmission-c2d-message#comment43278803_27043933) to prevent that two different apps declare the same custom permission with a different signature. The simplest way to fix this is get the APK for the GearPlugin app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.gearoplugin) and the accessory app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.accessory), decompile both apps, recompile them as you recompiled the manager app, sign and finally install them.
Now you will have all the samsung apps signed with the same signature.
I did have a compatibility device, but the Samsung Gear Manager shows that the S2 is running the newest firmware..:crying:
Does anyone know how to upgrade the S2 with firmware R732XXU2AOJ3 to the newest, R720XXU2DPFB, or where I could download it ? I guess I could flash it with Odin to get S2 back to the newest firmware.

I haven't. But I've only had the watch a couple of weeks, saw the dev scene was pretty much bill, and only installed apps through gear app & play store.
So can I just transfer the old apks with filesmaster and install them? I haven't installed from unknown sources yet.
Samsung pay isn't a system app? I can just uninstall then install the older apk?
