Gear Manager + Nexus 5

Soursamo · Feb 3, 2014

Hey guys,

Just got a Gear and trying to get it working with my Nexus 5.
I have read through the guides and always get stuck with connecting Gear Manager;

Flashes installing 0/2
Connect Manually; if I am already connected via Bluetooth it disconnects and never finds the device
Connects, takes me to a restore option.
Selecting either Restore or Reset will fail and start the process over.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I had that previously too. Thats because you have previously made a backup using Galaxy Manager.
Delete the backup file on your phone and factory reset your gear, it should work

That did it!
Thanks for your help.

wanted to advise where the backup file is but I couldn't remember so perhaps you can post it here for others to reference

Root of your SDCARD, .bs_backup or something.
Right now trying to get the latest Gear Manager to work so I can use Watch Styler but the phone won't seem to sync.

I don't think any apps work if gear manager doesn't work. And gear manager doesn't work (fully) if not on a touchwiz rom

Gear Manager 1.6.111801 works fine on my Nexus 5 but I can't get Watch Styler to work.

Soursamo · Feb 4, 2014

Well, I actually got it updated to the latest Gear Manager release by just updating after the previous version worked.
Reinstalled Watch Styler and Force Stopped Gear Manager but still no luck; I cannot see Watch Styler Clock under Gear Manager > Clocks as an option

Yes, gear manager will work on any phone, it just won't work as a middle man if not a touchwiz rom

It's working fine for calls contacts and logs, using ATNotifications for everything else!

Yeah, but they are just standard Bluetooth functions that don't require any 3rd party stuff

This is the issue we've always had since the start

You need to install watch styler on phone version 1.0.9 during installation keep paired the phone and gear manager status connected... After that you can change style clock, after installing it. Close all. Close hear manager and open again and going to the application menu and go back. Open clock and appear watch styler clock.
