If the limited compatibility of the smart watch Samsung has disappointed many when it was announced at IFA, it is now only a bad memory. While the Galaxy S4 Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 are gradually been added to the list initially consists of three Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, now another device, this time a brand competing now works with the Galaxy Gear: HTC One

.

As you can imagine, this compatibility is not done automatically by the official channels but through a small APK, very simple to install and designed by the XDA developers forum.

Once the Gear Manager application on your HTC One, it will detect immediately your Galaxy Gear . At the launch of the APK, an error message will warn you that the verification has failed and your watch can not interact with your smartphone, but you do not absolutely have to be taken into account because in reality, everything works.

Finally

almost as though in theory, HTC One and Galaxy Gear are now compatible, one feature of the smart watch will quite naturally not supported. And for good reason, since it is the voice assistant S Voice, exclusive to Samsung.

very good news not only for the owners of the smartphone aluminum but for all Android users because if the watch connected Samsung is now able to work as a duo with a device developed by the competition, it should Futures offer compatibility with all smartphones and tablets from Android 4.3, all manufacturers.

It is in these moments that we appreciate both the libertarian and unlocked mobile operating system from Google.
