I believe the Share option will be part of a future software update and enhancement.

Initially it will likely only give us users the option to share with Samsung related social media apps like ChatOn, Pen.Up, and the stock messaging apps.

You all know that I don't know Jack.. With that said, I can see the pictures off my phone on my gear.. mini-manager.. A Samsung rep installed it for me.. when I hit the app mini gallery on the Gear it show the pics that were taken with the Gear camera, another pic I have store on the Gear, and shows me 58 beautiful pics that I have on my Note 3.

Thanks so much for the link, I was at the point where I was going to rip my hair out as I couldn't find this anywhere no app store nothing. I just got my Smart Gear on Friday as a promotion for getting a new Galaxy device, just so happens I recently had a S3 which was rooted and unfortunately became hard bricked & wouldn't turn on nothing so had to be sent out to tech support and they couldn't repair it, I was informed $250 to repair or pay an extra $50 & get out of my contract and start fresh as new 2 year contract get free S4 & the free gift of the Gear which was a cool bonus as I'm an electronic gadget lover! Lol Thank you again.

-Double-tap with two fingers on any screen to bring up volume control, brightness control, battery level and Bluetooth status.

Thank you, I was always curious about battery life and previously was plugging it into the charger to see battery life. thank you.

I got these faces from a very famous E-Commerce website from the sellers that were selling watch faces. I then right clicked on the photos and downloaded them. Used a photo editing program to cover the holes and wa-la the final result. Very, very easy to do.

If you're like me and use the event clock as your primary display, I just found out that within the settings the watch will scroll through and display all your meetings for that day. You can even select how long each event/appointment is displayed.

For Gmail look in the more notifications option in the notifications section of gear manager.

Gotta slide and go into the More notifications toggle and you will find Gmail there.

You can use Watch Styler from Samsung App store to make your own clock face

You have to have the FB app for your gear. It will send to twitter with the twitter app as well.

My gear isnt keeping my display timeout. I set it for one minute and it lasts for awhile then reverts to 30 sec even though 1 minute is selected ??

Mine acts up sometimes. The other day when I was on a long drive I noticed that it stayed on literally 90% of the time. I kept having to turn it off manually.

If it's in the setting where it won't apply then consider a reset from the settings area.

With the recent firmware update, I've noticed a lot of new notification options - some of which, like Hoot Suite - I've ticked. However, I'm not getting any notifications from these 3rd party apps. Is it the case that not all of these third party apps are supported yet, or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, this app is Great!

How are you guys getting the different fonts for the Watch Styler and rearranging the fields of the text? I loaded the app, both the latest, and then the one on the dropbox page, and there's only 4 font selections that I can see for the digital clock faces.

Are you sure that's not just the wake-up gesture kicking in as you turn the steering wheel? I find that happens a lot when I'm driving. Kind of annoying when it's dark. But of course you can just turn wake up gesture off, at least temporarily.
