Kiescast for Tablets by Samsung Electronics MSDG - Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus

OK, so now that I have Android 4.0.4 ICS on my shiny Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Samsung has the Kiescast for Tablets app in the Google Play App Store that requires Android 4.0 or up, "BUT", it is telling me that 'THIS ITEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE'. Really??? A 'FREE' Samsung app for Tablets isn't available for my Samsung Tablet??? Come on Samsung!!!
Anyone else able to get the Samsung Kiescast for Tablets app? And for that matter, what 'tablets' is this app 'compatible' with? Letme guess, Asus, LG, Motorola, or Sony??? :cyclops:

I see exactly the same problem. When I go to Google Play via browser, it says "incompatible with all your devices." When I search in the Play app on the Tab, Kiescast won't appear in the search results no matter what search strings I use.

I was able to get a copy of the Kiescast app phone version and it installs and runs fine so far on the Tab 7 Plus except I had to use the Samsung Keyboard which came with my Samsung 8.9 tablet to get into the 'Menu' of this version of the Kiescast app so that I could get into settings of the Kiescast app since it didn't display the menu button on the screen.
I just noticed a rating post on the Play store that it apparently is available to the 10.1 Tablet. Now I just need to find someone with that tablet so I can bum a copy to see if it works on the Tab 7 Plus.

Well, got the ICS update for my 8.9 Samsung tab and the Kiescast for Tablet was available for it in the Play store. Sideloaded it onto the 7.0 Plus and it doesn't work. Screen resolution problem big time. Looks like the phone version of Samsung Kiescast is the only way to go for this app.

[Request] WSJ Tablet APK file compatible with Galaxy Note

I had a functioning version of the WSJ tablet app on my AT&T Galaxy Note before I had to do a hard reset on my phone.
Apparently, the WSJ tablet app in the Google Marketplace is no longer compatible with the Galaxy Note.
I was wondering if someone had created an APK file of the WSJ tablet app (black app logo) that would work with the Galaxy Note?
I tried using the APK version that has been created for the Galaxy Tab, but it did not work properly.
I appreciate any help that members of the forum may be able to provide.
Thank you for your time, and have a great day.

I would also be very interested in this. Enjoyed it on my Xoom so missing it now.
I have just sent an email to [email protected] to see if plans to make the tab app available with the galaxy note.
Stated the phone works perfectly with FT app, Kindle and Zinio.
Doubt I will even get a response.
Search forever, finally found it. Thought I might share. It's not as nice as the version I lost from my phone, but it's workable until wsj decided to be customer friendly.
update
Actually the current wsj apk will install on the note.
Thanks tin_doan
I have just tried the Google Play store again and I still only see the China and Japan mobile apps. Where did you get the current wsj apk?
Please can you upload or is that what is in your previous post?
I want the following https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wsj.reader_t3

[Q] How does Google Play Market identify a device and filter its app list?

I am on a Galaxy Note i717R (Rogers variant) and I am running the OnlyOne Update 3.5 ROM. Since rooting and ROM'ing my device it is no longer able to see and download the tablet specific apps that I used to be able to. Specifically, my Swiftkey X Tablet keyboard is no longer visible in the Play Store.
When I run this app in landscape mode it no longer shows the keyboard. I strongly suspect it's because this ROM has many elements taken from the GS3 including whatever unique Device ID that the Play Store uses to filter its app list.
Are my suspicions true? If so, how does one change this ID so that I can re-install my tablet specific applications?
Many thanks for your help!

Galaxy App Store missing?

I just bought my GN5 and noticed that the Galaxy app store is missing. I had it on my GS6 edge. I've searched all over the web looking for the apk but can't find a download link. Anybody else missing the galaxy app store?
It's a widget now, galaxy essentials I think. You can access galaxy apps from there.
Was a common issue for a while. When asking Samsung customer support they controlled my phone and could only way to access it through the gifts widget...... The new phones have it normally now. But the place we had to get it before was app.samsung.com or try this http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=11453714992468383350

Samsung Gear Apps [store]

Why can I see paid apps in the store only by using a Samsung phone?
Anybody? And will Samsung change that soon?
I have the same problem with my Oneplus 2. Hope anybody can help.

Got the same problem, with HTC One M9 + Gear s2...
The reason is, that the Samsung App Store has an own payment method instead of goole play store's method...
At the moment, you cant pay for samsung app on a non-samsung device, so it doesnt listing the paid apps, only the free ones...
BUT: today, i've signed in with my accounnt on a samsung mobile device (galaxy 24 mini), paired my watch, paid some apps, installed it.
when i have paired it back again with my M9, the installed apps disappeared (soft reset when pairing a deivce), and the apps that i paid on a samsung device, still doesnt appears on the M9 store
Just an idea, tried it out, but doesnt work
is there any way, to save the app from the watch (when i bought is, and installed it from a samsung device), and re install it (with the saved installer) from the non-samsung device?

I imagine there are technical problems for Samsung to make paid apps open to all, but it can't be an insurmountable problem, and it would be good for consumers and developers if they opened the paid apps to non-Samsung phones. Samsung is a giant corporation and so not particularly easy to contact or persuade, but I wonder if developers started a petition that might help persuade Samsung to fix this situation.
I've got a oneplus one - just wondering if they're are any worthwhile paid apps that I'm missing out on?

It mainly depends on what you want to do with your watch. I bought the app My Notes in Gear. It let's you create notes and task lists on your phone and sync these with your watch. I am also using komoot which is a free app but didn't show in the Gear store with a non Samsung phone. For me it was reason enough to switch the phone...
I am not hundred percent sure. I was having the same issue (not a big deal as I also had a Samsung phone, so I switched). When utilizing a Samsung phone, there are way more free applications and the paid applications are accessible too. Also, I believe the store has a slightly different layout.
I read somewhere that said someone contacted Samsung. They replied saying that they were working on a fix, but the reason was that they weren't able to accept payments (or some other payment issue) on non-Samsung devices.
I am sure it will be fixed soon. Hold tight!
If I connect my gear s2 to a Samsung phone to get access to paid apps and watchfaces and download them to the watch will they still be there when I switch back to my non Samsung phone?
I'm mainly talking about watch faces at this time. It seems like all the good digital ones are hidden to me now.
And maybe ultimately a good thing, but with the most recent Gear app update (for your phone), the layout of the app changed, and I noticed a recommended app at the bottom that wouldn't install. I suspect this app (can't recall which one) was an app that Samsung phone users can install, and the rest of us can't. My theory is this was either an outright error, or may portend non-Samsung phone users eventually getting access to at least more apps, if not paid apps.

no, i've tried this solution.
if you pairing the watch to other device, every time you need to soft reset is (than the installed apps is gone). :crying:

Samsung Gear s3 and apps (ios or android)

hi
i have just bought a S3 and i paired it with my iPhone 7
it's works pretty fine but i miss mail, reply to sms and so on.
so i looked into the app store and there are nearly Nothing in there..
i tried to connect the Watch to the honor 7 of my gf and there i can get much more apps!! like working hue apps, email, more faces and so on.
how can i get all this app from iPhone? and why the store is different? the device is the gear and not the phone !
i tried to download it from the honor then reconnect it to my iPhone but it restores the Watch before pairing and i don't know why but apps i downloaded from the honor doesn't appear in the "my apps" section on the galaxy app store from the iPhone
any idea how to solve this problem?
thanks
This problem cannot be solved from your side.
The problems are:
1. Some apps require a companion app, which only available on Android, in order to work. iOS will probably not have these as Samsung does not provide any SDK for devs to work on.
2. Samsung use manual filter for apps. A filter is like this: Gear S3 & iOS devices, S7 Edge & S3 BT and so on. If apps do not include this filter, they won't show up on your device. You can ask devs to include this filter if the apps are standalone.
