This is not true. The one on the s4 can add more than two. Go into setting on watchon and select add another device. You can also add another room also. I have mine set up with cable tv and onkyo receiver.

You could also try out Touchsquid. It's a Samsung app for the IR Blaster. I've been using the paid version with great success.

Touchsquid is not a Samsung app.
The app name is 'Samsung remote by Touchsquid' and it works amazing the new version is able to go in portrait mode. I've used I only my tab 2 7.0 and S4.

Hi Guys
So I just tested with note 2 with android 4.3 with a Galaxy Gear on the store and it works.
Here the link with some photos
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/cxv3vsjba9i4gf3/zE9V6P-mnn
I was able to play music,change watch on the screen saver,install some application,run the music player and make a call.
Will make a video later when I get my Galaxy Gear

Thats great. Thanks for testing. So sammy is all set to sell these smart watches to Note2 users.

I dont want to sound like a noob but how the hell did u get 4.3 on the note 2 u know how long its been 1 full year and how did u get the update
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Having everything stock. S4 with 4.2.2 Android, 32LTE international unlocked.
Downloaded Gear Manager directly from Google Play, and everything works with the Gear just fine. From display control to syncing, data transferring, notifications etc... All apps within Gear App Store also available to download. Not too great selection just yet, but my hopes that the XDA community will introduce some new, cool stuff, once the Gear is widely available.
Cheers

Which 4.3 ROM did you use on the Note 2 that works w galaxy gear. I have paranoid android 3.9 but there are issues. Would really like to get them working.

I have the leaked 4.3 on my Note2, but the only thing that works on the Gear-watch is incomming calls. No watchfaces or apps work.

If you're using windows 8:

Microsoft just launched a inbuilt remote desktop app with windows8. Don't know if it's 8.1 exclusive as I haven't tried it yet.

It's not 8.1 exclusive but it is W8Pro version exclusive, and he said he has the regular version. It's a shame because I use it and it works flawlessly.

Ah. My bad. Posting stuff too hastily. To at least add some value to this post:
I'm using teamviewer as well. Works really really well, and it's perfect if you have many devices since you can log in to connect to other previously connected devices.

Otherwise "MirrorOp" would be a choice, however the free version is only limited to 5minutes.
I used it on one of my tutorials and you can click and write/write to your android device using the computers screen. I used it on one of my tutorials here:

Thanks both - the Barclays app doesn't like (won't run on) rooted phones, or CyanogenMod (I believe), which is a real pain.

Just did a live chat with OnePlus, 'Danielito' assures me that it will run!

If it can't, install xposed then install RootCloak, configure it to work for Barclay's app then reboot. Worked for me for my bank app which doesn't work on rooted device before

Thanks for your interest. I have never found a way of getting the Barclays app to work on a rooted phone, and as far as I'm aware neither has anyone else. I actually have a rooted phone right now - Jiayu S3 - and whatever I've tried, the app still won't run (it says it can't run on rooted devices).
And to be honest, I just want to be able to install the app without having to do anything else!

I've tested myself and yeah, rootcloak no longer works. U may have just to settle on www.barclays.mobi if you wanna use on rooted devices.
The developers of rootcloak stated that Barclays app was updated to utilize the method of detecting through native library which is very difficult to bypass/hide away.

I have updated my post above with the explanation. Basically at the current moment the app wont run on any rooted device unless someone found a new way to bypass it. This is not a device specific issue. It applies to all rooted devices by how the root binary logic works.
And if you're not gonna root, yeah it will work
Sent from my ONE A2003 using Tapatalk

Just to clarify, the OP2 doesn't come rooted so you should be fine with the app.

Very wrong. The Barclay's App wouldn't run on dual SIM phones. They're such clowns.
I left Barclay's over this final straw and went to Lloyds.
But you still have to manage without root.

Exactly! Barclay banking app developers are f**king clowns!!! bought my self a zenfone 2 today (which is also dual sim) and the app wont even open. it just crashes. Spoke to barclays customer services and tech people and guess what they said?.... Said their app does not support Intel processors..... I MEAN WHAT THE ACTUAL F**K!!! what do they want me to do? sell my £200 phone and by another crappy spec one just to run there app? Absolutly ridiculous, iam fumin!

I ran Barclays app on my stock OnePlus 2 for over 2 years without any issue.

Finow x3 plus

So, I bought this watch 6 days ago. My first smartwatch. Now, its looks nice and is fast and smooth and all! But I am pretty shocked to see that, there are so few apps which are compatible with this device! Howcome an android device not be compatible with android watch apps? I mean what the fish? Even official android wear app doesnt connect with the watch. I mean wtf? Ah and theres no pull down notification drawer at all! I am not getting it!
But honestly the watch looks cool. kinda like moto 360. which is why I picked it!

That's because it's not an Android Wear Watch but a Android Watch.... It means that it's a phone in your wrist...

Well I dont mind the app not connecting. Finow has its own pairing app. But if its an Android phone then how come so few app are compatible?

Actually almost all apps are compatible... Don't you have Google Play Store installed? Anyway, you can download whatever app from Google looking for "app name"+"apk" ... That is the file that install any app

ya. I know mate. Most app I install are not even shown in app drawer. When I try to open them it says app not found. Means its installed but not compatible. Only the apps I found compatible are below. Amongst them even the calculator doesnt work.

I have quite a lot apps that says Not Compatible in Google Play and after installing them via APK I can use them

Playstore doesnt say incompatible. I just simply cant open the apps.
You using X3 Plus? May I take your assistance further? may be add you on hangout or somewhere?

I'm using the "Lite" One... The K9... Anyway tell me what do you need... Try to look for those apps you cannot open in Google and download previous versions. That happened to me with a keyboard app and I managed to make it work.

For now, please tell me how I search for an app in playstore?

No, yo dont have to do it in playstore... You have to do it in Google... You have to look for "whatsapp APK" and have to download an APK file then install it...
For old version do the same and try in "Apkmirror" a website of apks... It usually has a history of version of every apk

I know exactly what you mean. It keeps going of when I have my phone right with me. Went off really loud in a meeting the other day and I couldn't switch the damn thing off. Bit embarrassing!! If you find out I would be very interested to know as it puts me off wearing my Finow Q1.

Ok. I manage to edit watch helper apps form the phone and watch. I've installed phones apk aaaanndd... No more link loss sound on my phone. I've transferred watch apk but I can't install it cause of circular screen o_0 It asks me if I want to update system apk but I don't see the button. Any solution for this?

Is there any way to root this watch? Kingroot is not working here.

Its just a click to turn off the alert. On phone u press ok. It stops. On watch you press the down button it shuts off. It never lost connection when my phones around but when im out of range it did. And its a safety for not loosing my phone.
By the way, im getting around with the watch better. My batt is decent now. Turned off gps and wifi. And it boosted up 25% batt.
But I have a question. I cud receive calls on phone when paired with my phone before. Now I cant. Any idea how?
