List of cool apps NOT found in Market & cool unknown Market Apps!!

Step 1: Go to Settings, Applications, and check download apps from unknown sources. This will enable you to download third party apps not found in Market. You can download all these apps from the Internet Browser directly on your phone.
I'd recommend getting a Dropbox account and downloading Dropbox & Astro File Manager/ES File Explorer (any other file manager should suffice) on your phones.
Here's my referral for Dropbox (You and I get extra space!):
https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTkwNzUxMDk
When you download the apk's use dropbox to store the apk files in the cloud. You will use the file manager of your choice to direct Dropbox where the file is located. This helps with having to re-install apps and avoiding having to search for them again. Dropbox is handy for a grip of other uses such as storing your class papers, pictures, presentations, documents, resume, etc.

Recommended augmented driving app

Hi guys
I want to share with you i recently installed an app i really really like and is working perfectly on our device.
IonRoad is an augmented driving app. I know it is illegal to mount phone to the car windshield in California, but everywhere else, that's a must have app.
It has phone dialer, navigation, music and gallery shortcuts you can define, and it has visual and sound alerts whenever you're too close to the car in front.
Try it and share what you think.
Here's the video :

P.S it's N/A on Appstore )

Rage comics apps?

What are the best rage comics readers apps?(with swipe changing)
Also the best all for 9gag?

None?

I personally use Google Reader to synchronize all my web/rage comics. With a little bit of effort you can find the rss feeds for nearly everything... After that, you can read them on your PC, cellphone, tablet, etc using an app of your choice (I personally really like this one).
The cool thing about this method is that everything gets synchronized across all your devices, so you always know what you've read and what you didn't. You also can add any other site of your choice other than rage comics. And finally, the average quality of Google Reader apps is much higher than dedicated rage comic apps, IMO.

Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.garciahierro.ragecomics

i installed it but it keeps crashing

I use sharepic, really good, but the button bar is really hard to click on, even with 4“ screen.
But it seems you got an SIII so that shouldn't be a problem.
Otherwise just get a fun site with an RSS stream and use a news app like Pulse or Taptu.

I really like Amuse -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.amuse
You should really check this out.

The best app for rage comics?

Gear S2 app wish list

Alright guys, let's hear it. So far the app catalog on offer is quite simply appalling. Granted, you don't need a lot of apps on a smartwatch to provide a great experience, but there's some obvious things missing for now.
Here's my wish list for a full package.
Messaging apps: Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger. I don't need a fully fledged app, just the possibility to send a NEW message, not just reply.
Music apps: I use Spotify and would love to be able to scroll through my playlists and the other ways of selecting music. Not just basic music playback controls.
Sleep tracking: There is an app in the store, but looks so amateurish I find it hard to trust it.
Shazam: Would love it!
Google search...: I wouldn't even care that the speech to text would be handled by S-Voice, but give me a way to quickly search something online. Cortana/Siri/Google Now style

I would add these to the list:
Navigation: Being water resistant, this watch would be perfect to keep track of your speed and bearing while sailing. A GPS speed app and a simple Compass app would be lifesavers.
Web browser: One can dream...
Productivity: A decent pdf reader (the one in the story is nearly unusable)

I understand the Navigation and Productivity, but why would you want to browse the web on a tiny watch screen?

Besides the cool factor, i reckon having a web browser would reduce the need for some apps. For instance, we would be able to go on facebook and send messages, use online RSS feed readers like feedly, use WolframAlpha, browse forums, etc! Obviously, using a web browser on such a small screen is bound to be a cumbersome experience. However, on those rare occasions when you cant take your phone out of your pocket (either because it's inappropriate or because you're afraid it will get damaged or lost) having a web browser on the gear s2 would be pretty useful!

Navigation using Here Maps is readily available, but I hope we can get google map or waze available too for navigation....

Will receive the gear s2 in a week or two. Would love to have...
Paypal
Whatsapp and/or Line
Spotify
UBER

tasker (with widget), whatsapp (view conversations, reply, create), alarmpad (/set phone alarm, with tasker alarm) gmaps (preferably without companion app), google now Ù

I saw on the spec sheet it has a barometer, I have the 3G version on Verizon, I would love to have (as mentioned above on the first):
Speedometer - as I have an old diesel truck with a speedometer that doesn't work, been using Ulysses Pro
Better Weather App - Would be nice to see the barometer measurements within the weather app
Internet Browser - For those with the 3G version, would be nice on a rare basis, although I agree it would be cumbersome, having the functionality would be nice.
Google Play Music All Access - I pay $10/mo for Google Music, would be nice to have support for that, but I doubt it ever will since its not Android Wear
EDIT: Just looked through the Gear App Store, I see there is a barometer app now available, my bad.

Uber is now available on the gear app store (wasn't there a few hours ago, so seems like it was just launched). Just installed and seem to be working nicely (didn't book a car, just checked it's running, finding location etc)

remote camera control

i only wants a countdown app, like the "final countdown" on android.
plus one (or more) watchface, witch count down till the date / time witch i added.
It would be pretty useful for me.

remote camera control. I also use Handcent and currently the app isn't compatible with the S2. I get the notification but have to read it and reply from the phone. For that reason, I had to switch back to the stock messaging app which I hate. Handcent is totally non-responsible on the issue (well on any issue it seems). They quit answering questions/concerns on their facebook page. They now have a google page but you have to request to join. Been waiting 2 1/2 days to get approved to make a comment.

Better KeyBoard

maybe not considered apps, but...
have Wake Up Gesture option: Last Viewed.
ability to add custom ringtones (for 4g model).

ENoteGear: Evernote on Gear S2!

I am not affiliated with the developer.
Finally an evernote client for our s2s! It will list your folders and display notes. I must say it needs some work with display of text. Navigation is seemless. I would vote for a recent list as well as a voice to text note taking story.
Cost is $2 and a bit deceiving since the cost is incurred in the host app.
Im posting here to see what people also think and to rally the potential users for the dev. Maybe he is an xda member his dev name is Rumata on the galaxy store.

Good to hear!
I use Evernote every day. Having it on my watch would be terrific. Someone was saying in the "wish list" thread that they wanted a shopping list app. I use Evernote for my shopping list so if this app provides the ability to check things off, then that would be wonderful!

I installed it on my watch but have no idea where to download the EnoteGear app on the phone! It's not available in the Play store.
As for the additional charge, I don't think it's deceiving, it's the only way they can sell the app to people like me who for some reason have no access to paid apps in the Gear App store. I have contacted Samsung about this issue and after a week all I got is an automated reply. It seems that paid apps are not open to all markets yet, I would just like SAMSUNG to confirm that.

actual I use both evermore and google keep, would be nice to also have a google keep gear edition.
Thx. Will try enotegear later

I have 2600 notes in my Evernote notebook and the gear app freezes every time I choose the notebook. With a smaller notebook with 220 notes on it I don't have any problem. So if you're planning to use this app with large notebooks save your money this app will not work. I hope that the developer will find a solution. At the moment the app is useless for me.

Where did you find the app for the Gear S2? I can't find it in the Galaxy app store. Maybe a location thing as I am in Canada.

It's better to pay on Google app store than Samsung app store so that you can use Google's refund policy. There are no refunds on Samsung App Store.
