I am trying to decide on what has a greater app support and is a better buy. I can not decide on either the Gear 2 Neo or an android wear smartwatch. It really is about app support for me. Has anyone had experience with the two platforms? I have the Galaxy S5, so compatibility between the watches is not a problem.

That's not a difficult question. One is supported by the mighty google and all the Android developers in an open way. The other only works with Samsung phones and has a limited audience.

Yeah, I'm now trying to decide if the "Okay Google" is worth it, and what has more features.

Question:
Why do I see apps like SiriusXM and Sonos in the Market from my phone, but not the Market from my XOOM. I must be missing something really basic. Is there a process to move apps from an android phone device to an android Tablet device.
Please educate me!

It has to do with the devices Finger Print. Certain apps are designed for specific phones/devices and the developers can limit what devices can get it.
Gotta love it. Thx!

One for the UK mainly...
Anyone notice the current BBC promo for their BBC Sport app? It's the one with the woman walking down the street looking at the new app with a load of people following behind her trying to read the screen. That's definitely a Note she's holding, obviously so everyone can see the screen. Presumably the Note 2 was just that bit too distinctive to use.
I find this somewhat ironic given the BBC's attitude to Android and that the Sport app was available for iOS several weeks before the Android version came out. Not to mention we're still waiting for local caching for iPlayer...
Anyway, always nice to see one's choice of tech vindicated by a large, faceless organisation

I've just seen the ad and thought the exact same thing.

Great that you mention this
Could anyone please share the BBC sport app?
Don't stay in the UK and can't get it, even using a VPN on 4.2.2.

I wouldn't bother - offers nothing the mobile version of the website doesn't already give you.
I'm trying to decide between getting the Pebble, i'm Watch, Agent, or Kreyos Meteor. Which of these do you personally like the best?
Wait for the samsung gear? Should be announced September 4th.

Kreyeos Meteor smart watch looks like the best option right now.
They're all good for certain purposes. I personally backed the Kreyos because it was waterproof and has a speaker + mic.
What's the key decision criteria one should be looking for when evaluating these watches?

Your needs/wants, and whether the watch fulfills them.
I guess what I'd want in a watch...

A few features I'd like to see:
- A virtual security tether to let me know when I'm walking away or forgetting a phone / tablet and to bypass lockscreens
- reminders and basics that I don't even need to open my phone for
- profile management to advise my of locations and what my wifi devices are doing (what Android profiles they are on)
- health and fitness.... not so much but ok I get that this would be the best device to record my movement or how much I'm stuffing my face at meals...
I can find nothing on the ir blaster. I am using the Samsung Verizon Note 3. This is supposed to be a feature of the phone. Did Version block it out am I just not finding it?

Look for an app, perhaps in the Samsung folder called WatchON?
Yes, WatchOn is the stock app for using the IR Blaster. After setup it will let you control your devices with a remote icon in the top right corner of the screen.
If you look up top your phone and see a little black dot in the right side you have the ir blaster but I wouldn't recommend the watch on app, look up for the Smart IT Remote Samsung/HTC app on the play store it's just worth it, i have configured more than ten controls and controls like my DISH one aren't supported by the watch on app

Great advice, Thank you.
I couldn't find it because I disabled watch on when I first got my phone because I didn't know what it was. Next time I won't be so stupid.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Yea, you need to use WatchON or a different app.
I ditched WatchON, as it kept running even if I didnt use it. (also, the puns were starting to become too irritating.)
Plus it only works for tv, and the media guide only works in the US. Where at least 750 million of us are not.
Swapped it for this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy
This controls everything with an IR reciever, even my DSLR and the lights.

Im not a developer , but if there are some mates out there that can port the samsung camera app for the nexus 6p...I would be over the moon...thanks in advance...
Samsung apps are rarely ported to other devices as they are typically heavily tied into framework
