[Q] Samsung App Store?

I see everyone referring to it all the time, but I have no idea where it is.
It's no where to be found on my stock T-Mobile Tab.
Do I have to download it from somewhere? Couldn't find it anywhere.

Its just called Samsung Apps. Have you done a manual update since you got your Tab? Sometimes thats caused apps to go missing until a factory reset.

Nope. Haven't updated it at all, says there's no updates available. It was activated at the store before I bought it, maybe they updated it?
So if I factory reset it, then update it again, wouldn't I lose the app again?
How would I update it and keep "Samsung Apps"?

I don't think the USA based Tabs have access to the Samsung App Store.
I would like to know also if this is not true.

Erm, thats basically what Samsung Apps is. AFAIK, every Galaxy phone has it and ot provides apps made for the phones.

can someone post the app, let's see if it works.

Well it looks like the first app appeared for me... Blinx beat... I was hoping for asphalt... But who doesn't appreciate there little doesn't deserve the good... Patience is the key here

I believe this did get left out of the north american tabs, at least the t-mo. Mine did not come with it. I also did not get any stock e-reader apps I see others with. Nothing for books our magazines. I did get the media hub put it was promptly removed after root. I also work for tmo and our official documentation says nothing about these apps.

Generalistic and wrong statement.
EU tabs come with it

I purchased my device from Orange Austria. Also on my Tab some Apps were missing (as far as I remember Samsung Apps, Ebookreader, calculator)
It seems that the tabs sold through providers are limited.
I have flashed latest firmware and now have all apps. But in Samsung Apps nothing is shown. Is there anything I can change to make it work?

Ah.
I always hear people refer to how much better the Facebook app is in their app store, and other free apps that I never knew how to access.
I wish we could get the apk for the Samsung app store, or for these free apps.

after i update few in the samsung app, thats appear no more update, n i connect my tab to the Kies, its showing that tab is not compatible to it, so i cant download anything from it

Verizon tab
I have a Verizon Tab and I was wondering the same thing. Everyone is talking about getting the free need for speed game and I can't get it because I don't have the Samsung Apps. Very frustrating! You would think when you spend $600 for an oversized phone that it would at least come with a few more apps. Don't get me wrong I think the tab is pretty cool but when you get down to it this thing is really nothing more than a big Android phone with the phone part. I'm a bit disappointed with the lack of tab specific apps.

yes please someone post this apk because i would like it as well

Even if you can bring up the learning hub, if you're rooted it automatically closes "due to copyright", and also as your country isn't supported it will close. Tried by flashing a UK rom onto my note. Has it but won't allow me to use it...
Shame as it would be a good distraction for my young nephew...

Here itis the app http://db.tt/rh64Cyzu now wating for the apks themself . buy the way what other hubs avaliable on the uk rom
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

I believe it was the music, video, learning and game hubs. Wasn't really paying attention as was only interested in the learning hub. As it wouldn't work I reflashed back to another rom pretty quick....

set your note's country to another country and switch off your gps not sure if it will work for you but it worked for me

Well that sux, what happens if you go on a holiday overseas and want to use the learning hub... You have to turn off the GPS, and lets face it, that's when you need it most...

Apps not showing in Samsung Apps

I have a Gear 2 running on a Galaxy K Zoom in Texas. However most of the apps mentioned here don't shop up for me in Samsung Apps through Gear Manager. Is the Samsung App Store region/carrier/device specific? Can't find Paypal, Gear Navigator, etc. Anyone know how I can get the apps to show up?

Here the same. Before ugrading to Tizen I had Eevernote, Glympse and MyMyRide on my Gear1. All gone now and not showing up in the store in Gear Manager. I think I didn't upgrade, but downgrade to Tizen :crying:

No problem

I have a good news for you , downgrade from tizen to Android is possible and very easy, it's toturial ( how to )
If after downgrade your touch screen isn't working, don't panic You must flash evrything again and evrything works perfect, i too update, to tizen and back to android.

same question is here ...
any solution or idea ?!?

Think it might be device specific. I have a note 2 with gear 2 Neo and no Golf Navi, gear navigator, etc. Decided to reset and pair neo to my work phone (galaxy S4) and they showed up. Tried downloading application to S4 then backed up apk and loaded on note 2. Application installed on phone OK but failed to install in gear manager. Not sure if this applies to all scenarios but this was my experience.

I am a developer and I have published Gear apps
Developer can choose group of devices and can also select regions and countries
I do select always all devices and all countries.
If the developer decide to select some devices and only one country, the the app will be published to the selected devices and to that country only
Why? I don't know!!
If you can't see my apps, then the problem is in your side
check "My Gear Apps" topic

Actually can see your apps in gear manager Lux and Thank you for your work on them. Looks like some GPS based apps (at least in my case) are being excluded from the Note 2 running 4.4.2

The previous version of my app (Multi-Watch) was compatible with 89 devices.
The current version only 55....
I didn't change or add any permissions.
Its a complete mystery to me.

this is what the developer console of the app store shows to me now:
<see attached screenshot>
I tried asking them what is the reason for it, but got referred to a standard app publishing paragraph..... as usual.
In total I have asked them 13 questions now, never got a real straight forward answer on my questions.
I wish there was a way to call them and speak with them on the phone.

hi could you please post the model number i should use in the build prop please

It is a filter problem caused by the Samsung app store. Currently, they filter the devices manually like so: Gear 2 + Galaxy S5, Gear 2 + S4... and so on, which I think is kinda dumb. My apps on there are filtered for 55 combinations. I'm sure they are missing a lot!

Google Fit on Galaxy S5?

I recently bought a Galaxy Gear Live and was excited to use it with S health on my Galaxy S5. Turns out, though samsung claimed they would update their software to be compatible with their watch, it still isnt. Not a problem, though. I thought i would still use the google fit app, as its an android wear device. Turns out my phone isnt even compatible with the google app?? Im not sure what to do as both company apps are not supported. Any ideas?

Just because it says it's incompatible doesn't mean it won't still work on your device. You could download the apk and attempt to install, worse case scenario is it won't work

Tried that now, it seems to glitch my phone and freezes it. Also, i just found out other S5's ARE compatible.

That's very odd. Normally Sprint phones are pretty flexible with most apps. Is your S5 on kk or LP?

Tips on migrating from note 4 to note 5

Could you guys please post some tips when migrating from note 4 to note 5. I'm thinking of the best way to bring over my apps, documents and music. Contacts obviously carry over with google. No need for photo/video transfer.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

Verizon cloud or Samsung smart switch. Btw, apps are also transferred via google. So you've just got docs and music. Buy yourself a $5 otg usb and transfer them manually.

I went from the DE Note 4 to the Note 5, and used Helium. Some apps aren't able to be backed up, but for the most part, Everything gets moved over.
Here's an XDA video link.
