Hello
I have my gear s for about a week, and I think it is a Nice gadget but the must learn by tizen development.
Maybe there are clarified reasons fot the tweaks I am missing.
When I set the alarm it is not sync with my s6 edge.
And what about the notes in the phone it is not sync to the gear.
I know that there are aftermarket apps that can do the trick with an external app and I dont want it external.i want it simpel sync with my phone.
So is there a good reason and am I the only one that missing that simpel things.
Firstly, the Gear S Alarm app is completely individual and is in no way synced with your s6. Secondly, My Notes in Gear is the recommended app for cross platform note-taking.
And Samsung Alarm on phone ring on the Gear S same way to the Gear S internal alarm (dismiss and snooze). When alarm ring there are a little icon on top right of screen to show if is a phone or watch alarm.
Gear Note for example is synched between phone and Gear S, Same for Note for Gear......
R u using the Gs as stand alone?
My alarm does show up on my Gear S ... And I can dismiss it using my watch but you have to enable notifications from the clock app in Gear Manager.
The rest, I'm not sure what he is asking about.

Got a brand new Gear Fit and got it updated with Gear Manager v1.67.0523 and attached to a VZW Galaxy S5. For some reason I don't get any notifications, no alarms, no emails, no missed calls, nothing. Is there something I am missing?
You do have gear fit manager? Are notifications turned on in the app? Is the fit and phone paired?

Does anyone know if you can add a calendar event on the Gear S directly, not through the phone?
Schedule is Read Only

The manual states, "View the events scheduled on the mobile device." The watch only allows you to scroll left or right to see what is scheduled on a particular day (info from phone). You do not even get a month view. However, you can download a separate calendar program.

Thank you.
Does anyone know of a calendar app that allows you to add directly from the Gear S. I have been searching but have not come across one.
I have also been trying to find an reminder app that allows me to quickly talk to the GS, using the S Voice, and set a reminder. I know i can tell it to set an alarm but it won't let me have a note added to let me know why I set the alarm.
I am sure a plethora of new apps will be coming out soon.

Since when can you schedule an event on the calendar via S Voice on the Gear S? I get feature not available. It work fine on the Gear 2 but not the Gear S. Did I miss an update?

I get the "adding tasks is not supported" and "adding calendar appointments is not supported" when I try using S Voice on GS.
I am using it with the Note 3. Is it supported with the Note 4 and/or Note Edge?

I am able to add an alarm using S Voice but I would like to have a title or description with each alarm.
It would be nice to say "remind me to ......" and state a time. That is when it says it does not support adding tasks. I hope it is available in a future update.
Sorry, you are right. It do not works on Gear S, only on Gear 1&2
I got Moto 360 last Friday and I'm already "meh" about it. All it really does is show the notifications and give you the default actions. Gear S looks really sexy and after watching some videos, it seems it can do a lot more. However, there are a few things I can do with my Moto 360 that are very useful to me:
1. While driving/in a meeting, I can text/reply to e.g. my girlfriend. I can say simply "Ok Google, text my girlfriend I'm on my way". Can I do that with Gear S (don't care if it's S Voice)?
2. Can I retain the same functionality from Android wear in terms of notifications? I.e. reply to a text message, dismiss a Hangout message, etc?
2. I use Google Keep for note taking - does tha work on Tizen/Gear S? If not, what are some good Note taking apps?
Thanks a ton!
1. You can use S Voice and say "Hi Gear" to get it going.
2. If you get the app Gear Notification Extender (GNE) from the Play Store you can reply to and dismiss Hangout messages. GNE also lets Google Maps update to your watch and vibrate every time there is an update. Like when I'm driving and using Maps every time the directions update my Gear S will vibrate and display the new directions on the watch. I find this useful when I'm using my phone to stream music and don't have the maps on the screen at the time. So it's like having a second screen for your phone while your using it.
3. Don't know about note taking as I don't take notes on the Gear S. I saw some note taking apps in the Samsung store tho. It sucks we have to use a separate Samsung store. None of my Google Play credits transfer over.
Thanks for the answers. How is S Voice? I've used it only a few times on my Note 4, it seems to take much longer to recognize what I'm saying (e.g. I'd say "weather tomorrow", then wait 3-4 seconds for it to recognize my voice vs. Google that seems to recognize it immediately).
I've heard of this GNE app, hope it works fine. Anyway, I just ordered the Gear S from Amazon and it'll be here tomorrow.

Yes. When the G-S' display is on you can say "Hi, Gear" and tell it what you want it to do. Also, if you're trying to input something using the keyboard you can invoke voice by long-pressing the settings button and selecting it as a text input option. Coming from a Gear I I'm impressed (so far) with S Voice's performance (speed and accuracy) compared to the OG.

Sort of. All the G-S' inbuilt apps are designed to work with their Samsung equivalents on your phone (EG: Samsung's Mail client, Messaging client, etc.). If you're using those the comprehensiveness of managing, creating, and responding to notifications is light years better on the Gear. If you're using GMail, Hangouts, etc., you'll get notifications in the same generic way all non-Samsung apps get them. They appear in a list you swipe left from the home screen to access. You'll see them and sometimes with great detail. But you won't be able to respond from your Gear. There's a "show on phone" icon in the notification message (as well as Smart Relay which displays what you're looking at on your Gear on your phone when you pick the latter up) but if you're a Google Apps user you're better off with Android Wear.
2. I use Google Keep for note taking - does tha work on Tizen/Gear S? If not, what are some good Note taking apps?

You can launch the voice memo app with S-Voice and it starts recording immediately. Whatever it records it transfers to the phone and also transcribes it. If I need to use whatever the note is in another app I just paste it there. For getting lists on my phone I use Exchange tasks. They show up in the calendar app. A lot of note/task apps for the Gear require their own companion app which I loathe. I want to use notes/tasks where I normally use them and not have to introduce another app to keep track of just to get notes/tasks to my Gear. For those using Google's apps there are some third party apps in Samsung Gear Apps store but none seem too highly rated.
Bottom line is if you're an "all in" user of Google's stuff you're better off with Android Wear. If you're a MS/Samsung user you'll get a lot more functionality with the Gear family.
3) "Notepad+" app have keyboard and voice input to take note in Gear.
almost every other note app have a keyboard and voice input.
With "GearTasks" you can add Task/Note by keyboard or voice in Google Tasks.
I got the moto 360 for a few days then returned it to the store. Personally i think its a joke compared to the GS
In every way! Sure more google apps no doubt. But its a watch!!!
And the android wear system is horrible in my opinion. Tizen u get more controll. Gs beeing a phone on its own is a winner for me
Just the fact that i can leave my phone at home and get all my notifications and calls fowarded to the watch is what makes the Gear S miles ahead of any other wearable in my opinion...including the apple watch. And if set up correctly it does it all seamlessly
Hello everyone! I'm new here
I had a question before purchasing the Gear S... I have a Galaxy S5 and I use Textra for my SMS app and I love it. I was wondering if the Texting feature on the Gear S can go though Textra or will it make me use the Default SMS app that same with my S5?
If it does require me to use the default app. Can I install Fleksy Messenger like I did on my old Gear 2 to replace the default SMS app on the Gear S?
Thanks
Did you figure out these questions? I'm thinking about buying it but would prefer to use Google Messenger instead of the factory SMS app on the phone I'm also thinking about buying (Note 5 AT&T).
Kinda.....
I ended up buying it and when I go to the messaging app on the watch it says I have to change back to the default SMS app on my phone. HOWEVER when I look up a contact and the hit the messaging icon for whatever contact I wanna text it works just fine with a 3rd party SMS app. Let me know how you like the Gear S!!
When you say looking up a contact to text, you're doing that on the watch & not the phone? Still debating on getting it. Love the gorgeous & huge curved screen but not fond of Tizen OS whatsoever besides being able to make/receive calls.
Yup
Yeah on the watch. This version of TIZEN is way better compared to the one on the Gear 2. I love the screen and the standalone capabilities. The apps are ok but could be improved..
I've never used previous versions of Tizen. Just the current version on the Gear S at retailers. Don't really care/need other apps. Just want notifications (in addition to the gorgeous & huge curved screen) for calls, texts, emails, voicemails & calling feature. Opera browser is a nice bonus.
Just go into your gear settings app (on your phone). Go to notifications and select whatever third party app you want (includes sms). I use Textra for my SMS. I get all messages on my Gear S (except for MMS...just alerts me I have an MMS, doesn't physically show it like using the stock app). You can respond using the built in Samsung keyboard.

Anyone found a way to get the messages app and the email app working on the gear s2 while paired with the v10? I am able to respond to text from the notification area or buddies list but i dont have an email or messages app in my app circle. I was told that its only able to use those app on the watch when paired with a samsung device but if there is no way around it i am gonna take the watch back.
