Gear Manager Update 1.5.120902

I received the same update this morning, but it didnt touch the UK firmware I had installed on the Gear.
The one thing that is really irritating is that when I have more than 1 gmail email, the next time I get an email it will read "2 messages" and then it will only have the first few lines of each email.
Anyone have the same behavior???

I'm on a note 2 with the leaked 4.3 Synergized rom. My gear is on the newest MK7 null_14 rom. When the gear manager update came in this morning on my note I was able to install it without wiping my gear. After it installed I clicked the restore button in manager so it can do the pairing but it kept getting stuck at 95% of the restore. (Kind of ironic that Samsung calls this a restore when it actually wipes the gear) I forced closed the manager and since I was already paired and connected before I started the update the gear manager didn't prompt me to restore the gear when I launched it again. It went right into the app without wiping my gear. Maybe this is a way to prevent the gear from wiping on every single gear manager build update. I see no reason why a wipe would be necessary anyway. Just a thought...

Really?? That's interesting. What version rom did you have previously on your gear? And what version did it update to? Where you rooted of just full stock?

Ok then you were probably upgraded to mk7 which is what I'm on now. It's just the UK version since Samsung was slow out the gate with the U.S. update

Good they fixed the exchange issue, as that was all on the gear manager side anyway. Need to test the speaker to see if it's louder...

That's what I'm guessing. We need one of the folks that got their gear updated to post their build number. I'm in the US but but installed the newer UK version also and I'm curious if the louder speaker is already a part of my mk7 rom. I Have nothing to compare it to since I put the uk rom on it as soon as I got it.

There is a collection of stock roms posted in the first page of the main Gear thread

Im going to test this rolling back to US rom and will go through update to see if I end up with MK7
Calls ARE actually alot louder even without updating Gears firmware
I just made a call and can confirm that the in-call volume of the Gear is much louder after the Gear Manager update last night. The firmware on my gear was never updated since Im already on the UK version of MK7 so its a safe bet that whatever changes were made to make this volume increase was done in the call routing from the phone to the Gear. Kudos to Samsung. The low call volume was a real PITA.

On second thought I'm not sure what gear manager has to do with call routing since you can use the gear bluetooth speaker function on any phone without even having gear manager installed. But I swear the in call volume is definitely louder. Can anyone else confirm?

It's definitely louder from just the Gear Manager update. Almost booming loud now. Love it!!
Got the Gear on the day it was released (and have gotten Google Glass since and own a Pebble) and the Gear is by far the best wearable device.

You need the paid version to do batch restore. If you have the paid version on your phone copy the license.txt file to your sd on the gear.

You can do a twrp restore. Just make sure you only restore the data partition and you'll be fine. That's what I did.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 21One thing I am currently noticing is a massive drop in battery life since installing the update a few hours ago. Over the 15 hours since I unplugged this morning there was a steady drop from 100% to about 70%. At which point I did the gear update (about 3 hours ago) and now I'm at 37%. Ouch.
I hope this is a misbehaving app or something. Battery meter culprits are screen and android system.
