Samsung App Store and Notifications - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have one notification on the Samsung App Store icon, I launch it, I log in, the notification is there as well (on the little man at top-right), I click on the little man with notification, but all apps are updated, so don't understand what he's trying to notify me

I had the same; there's an update for Adobe PS Touch; look for it in the Samsung App Store...
After installation of the update, the notification is gone . . .

It is annoying. I used titanium back up to disable this samsung application. I am not hi on Samsung applications.

Found the second one, there is also an update for Polaris office which I found by accident. This is so stupid, there is no change log either.

That's weird, I just updated Polaris and Photoshop Touch and both notifications are gone for me.
It must be one of the apps that Samsung has included with the note and will probably be a process of elimination until you find which one it is or someone else points it out. The reasons the pop-up's are there are probably because these apps were not downloaded and came pre-installed and therefore not showing as needing updates.

Facebook notifications

ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

Facebook 1.3.2 messed up

Mine is still set at android, I tried restoring to default awhile back thinking maybe I accidently changed something but that didn't work either
Im sure there will be another update out soon to fix these issues. They have been quick to fix lately. No more contact sync options either, on my phone at least. Almost feels like a broken app on my phone right now.

Seems like whatsapp is serious into getting onto our phones

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)
how is it different to what its doing now?? i shall update soon after i finish charging

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.
ahh right so there would be better battery life too??
Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.
AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.
hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version
I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138
I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.
can we have a link to the apps apk?
Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.
http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google
really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.
Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!
it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily
updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.

I never had the beta. I was too late to register.
However, there are a lot of UI changes when compared with the leaked 1.5 version. ?
And the Bluetooth app installations in the watch are possessed much faster, although they are still slow as hell.
All I see is the Gear Fit app anything on the S2?

YES - in app store there is the old beta. UNFORTUNATELY the app has the same error that the last beta had (I have reported 3 weeks ago to the developers): when you call in S Health a training with recorded route the app hangs/crashes.
The same thing happens with other users or only with my iPhone SE?

i had installed on iphone 6 plus IOS 10.2
but as I said, unfortunateley, same that nothing is changed. only read whatsapp/sms, whatsapp no pictures, no contacts, no calls, no maps....
just downloaded the official app : works like a charm ! I got an iPhone SE (iOs 10) and a Gear S2. Here are the step needed :
- remove the leaked app from both your phone and your itunes library
- make forget the watch in the bluetooth settings of the iPhone
- reset the watch to factory settings
After the reboot of the watch, you just need to start the app and link them again. If this doesn't work, check the firmware of the watch, must be the last one.

I only reseted the watch. Nothing else.
Basically I installed the official version, and reseted the watch. Only then I uninstalled the leaked version. But there was a few minutes with both the official and the leaked versions installed and everything was working as it is now.
Ah, and I didn't make the phone forget the watch in the Bluetooth settings. Just left it there.

Awesome thanks! It works for both my wife's and my watch! Funny thing is we had been Samsung galaxy people for 7+ years and just switched to an iPhone two days ago. I run a business and the Samsung just couldn't hang with me and my business. I was extremely bombed because I loved my watch and so did my wife and thought we were going to have to go purchase Apple Watch is. But this saves me! Thanks

Question Google Messages notifications icon

So I just purchased a pro and coming from a 6a. I noticed when I switch to the 7 pro the notification icon was different. It was updated to look like the new app icon. I had to reset my phone and when I reset the notification icon went back to it's regular thing lol how can I get it back? Does anybody know what I'm talking about or do I just sound crazy lol please help. 🥹
current icon on the left
i want the notification icon on the right lol
Currently, you just sound crazy haha. But the notification icon should always appear to match the new app icon. If yours isn't after a drive reset, just give it time and it should correct itself automatically (maybe after a day or two).

Ehh, just give it some time. Whenever I do a full wipe before flashing a new update to my phone, certain features just aren't available for an unknown amount of days. For example, some of the Google Phone features don't show up for a week or two. And once they do show up, they only seem to roll in one feature at a time lol.
This delayed feature rollout after a wipe and fresh OS installation seems to be the current Google Mystery lol

No problem. If it never changes over in another week, feel free to reply to one of my comments and I can help ya out. You MIGHT need to do another wipe and OS reinstallation (which I can also help you with, if necessary) if the notification icon just refuses to change after more time passes.
We'll see what happens =D

10 minutes? In what universe? You cannot be serious! A few years ago it would take several hours for a factory reset/new setup! I'm assuming you mean "factory reset" when you say complete wipe???

APK version shouldn't matter. I have the exact same build as you and don't have the issue that you are facing.
For what I use my phone for (basic phone functions, internet, YouTube) I don't think it's worth the risk of pushing something through unofficially - as a user uploaded APK could
always be slightly modified in some way.
*Edit* - And you also have the latest build of the app, haha. We're on the beta build - which may have been confusing my man Stano.
*Edit 2.0* - @jaseman I mean flashing the entire OS from the most up-to-date factory image via fastboot - which does indeed wipe the user partition of the drive unless you choose to modify the default flash-all document or choose to do it all manually without wiping that drive partition. But regardless of which method you choose, it still only takes me around 10 minutes to do all of that, restore my data and to grant myself root access again.

Máš pravdu, pomýlil som si dátum vydania. Myslela som, že aplikácia je od 6. mesiaca.
