Today sees a really useful update to the Galaxy Gear.

BEFORE UPGRADING - Please note that V700XXUAMK7 will break exchange email notifications. At this point in time, no one knowns if it's intentional or not.

It provides:

- Full notifications for any app which can form status bar notifications
- Preset text message replies if you don't have time to write/voice one
- Rapid access to s-voice
- Better range between the phone/watch
- Better handling of notifications
- Better connection generally between the phone/watch

Your watch will need firmware: V700XXUAMK7
Phone software to version 1.5.111304

Couple of notes: I am using a UK (Mocha Grey) Gear with a UK Samsung Note 3 and the update was OTA.

Is this the new 09 base? And where did you get the update?

Well this update promises a lot of wondrous things. New firmware and galaxy gear app! It deleted all the software from my watch but I can select a whole host of applications for notification now. PHEW. Samsung are fixing things.

The BT connection seems more stable too!

OTA. Woke up and Note 3 said there was a firmware update: Version: V700XXUAMK7. It installed then wanted to update the phone software to version 1.5.111304. Reboot and bam

Did you update the software on your device as well, it's useless without. Make sure you turn on notifications and inside that box turn on 'Other notifications and select the software you want notifications from!

Here are some screenies

I still don't get the update on the gear... Maybe because im using a older version of GM that's compatible with my GS4 on 4.2.2?

I got the update notification and cancelled because I wanted to hear about what it consisted of first. Now, I want to try it but how do I get to check for an update manually?

Try a reboot? Or check the Samsung App store?

They roll things out over a frame of time..maybe yours will be with you soon...or it could be your software as you say. You will receive it eventually though...patience ;)

Confirmed no 'more notification' so I guess I need for the fw update..

Btw..to check update manually just click the gears name in GM and there's a check update there...

    Just updated with Odin using the new firmware on a Verizon Note 3 USA Gear combo and everything is working good for me, save Exchange as everyone already knows is bonkers ATM.

    For those that were lost like me initially, :)
    Downloaded the Stock Firmware http://uploaded.net/file/njroq150
    Downloaded this Odin http://www.4shared.com/rar/ZUA2B1FW/Odin307.html
    Once Odin was downloaded I just extracted to Desktop
    Once the firmware was downloaded I extracted the two files inside to the Odin folder I had just put on the Desktop

    Put the Gear into Download mode (at the watch home screen, hold power until it says watch rebooting, rapid press the power button until you get to a menu with three options, press the power button three times quickly, should move selection to Download mode, hold power about 3 seconds and release, should be in download mode! :D )

    Connect everything up via USB to PC (I am assuming everyone has the USB Drivers, if not http://hotfile.com/dl/247408965/8a6739d/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.27.0.exe.html)

    Launch Odin
    Odin should identify the watch as (0:[COMxx]).
    Check PDA and press the button. Select the file V700XXUAMK7_V700OXAAMK7_HOME.tar.md5
    Then Press Start
    Sit back and wait, Gear should reboot and show the upgrading android animation and Odin will display PASS in green if all went well and its safe to exit and disconnect.

    Hope this helps people that were confused like me. :D

    The U.S is now two updates behind. Just download MK7 from Samsung-Updates or the firmware list on the front page. It's a 280MB files so it only takes 20 minutes to download. Use any version of Odin to install it. Put the Gear in download mode by long pressing the power button until it says "rebooting" and then press it again a couple of times until the download menu comes up. Select "download mode" by pressing the button to highlight it. Long press the button to select it. With the Gear in download mode, connect it to your PC and open Odin. Take the .MD5 file you extracted from the downloaded MK7 .zip and put it in "PDA" in Odin and then click start. You should be done in about 5 minutes and your Gear will restart. When it does, unplug it from the USB cable. There's no downside to using another region's f/w on your Gear and the update process doesn't wipe your Gear's data or settings. I don't think Gear's are different h/w wise regionally so you can repeat the above process when an update gets pushed, even if it's for another region, to always keep your Gear on the latest f/w.

    In addition to the notification stuff, Samsung's added the ability to "go to the last page" under "Motion" so when you bring your wrist up it returns to what you're doing rather than defaulting to the home page (clock). You can also customize the S Reply messages you can send when you're on a call or responding to a text.

    The Gear feels snappier after the update.
