I've managed to connect my Galaxy Gear to my Acer Liquid E3. Everything works fine besides (obviously) S Voice and Weather, and contacts.
Whenever I try to access my contacts via my Gear it just keeps loading and can't read my contacts from my phone.
Another huge issue is that whenever my watch gets disconnected and I want to reconnect it, Gear Manager keeps asking for either restore via Backup or a complete Recovery.
Restore doesn't work and stops at 95% so I always have to do a complete recovery, which is kind of annoying. I've had a few instances where the Gear would connect again normally,
but most of the time I have to do a complete recovery.
Is there any fix for these issues? Can I replace the stock contacts app with the samsung contacts app (+ the framework).
Do keep in mind that I'm connecting my Gear with normal Bluetooth 4.0 and not BLE.
The Acer Liquid E3 will receive kitkat as soon as next week though (which will enable BLE), so maybe that will fix it.
I hope somebody can help, the watch is still usable (facebook, twitter, all work fine), but having to do a complete recovery and not being able to see a contacts list is extremely annoying.
Cheers!
