Their is a setting for letting you install 3rd party apps put a check in the box to set it. Don't know if that is it or not.

It's probably the app is restricted to newer versions of Android higher than 4.1.2

Instagram, Snapseed Are both compatable with USA owners of the GT-N8000
What country do you live in?

Possible Fix for Watch Styler not Appearing in Gear Manager

I'm a Note 3 (Beans ROM) / Gear 2 user. I was experiencing the issue that many others reported where Watch Styler doesn't appear to fully install, hangs at "Installing" and although Watch Styler would appear in my app drawer, it never would show up in Gear Manager under Clocks. I'm happy to report that it's working now and I wanted to try to help others experiencing the issue.
Essentially I followed steps 1-11 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52433453&postcount=9. I also installed the Gear Manager.zip from BeastSpencer. After the reboot however, my Samsung Apps wasn't showing up in my drawer. I was able to open Gear Manager and connect to my watch, but I couldn't install any apps from the App Store within Gear Manager. The apps would start downloading then the screen refreshed and the option to Install appeared again. When I realized Samsung Apps was missing, I opened Google Search on my phone, typed in "download samsung apps" and followed the links to download the app store from Samsung which took me here: http://apps.samsung.com/mars/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA. From what I remember when I clicked the "Phone" button to launch the installer, nothing happened...Samsung Apps never installed. I had to choose the Re-install Phone button. After this I was able to go back to Gear Manager and install Watch Styler. Now it appears to be working...well about as well as everyone else's anyway. I'm still experiencing the following issues, can't load digital watch faces I've downloaded from gearfaces.com (i think everyone is having this issue), and occasionally when I'm trying to switch from one downloaded theme to another, Watch Styler throws an error about being "in a call" even if I'm not. When this happens I just select one of the default watch faces that's included with Gear Manager, then click on the settings icon for Watch Styler, then I'm able to select and apply a new theme.
Good luck, hopefully this helps out someone else with the same issue.
you posted this on the other forum and I replied there that it doesn't work for users on the galaxy s5 ,maybe for others but im just saving others on the s5 some time and trouble going through all this to have the same results as watch styler not showing up in Samsung apps and watch styler not showing up as a choice under clocks then setting a theme.

I think you have me confused for someone else? I haven't posted anything like this before. Maybe this won't help people with the S5....but several Note 3 users have the same issue as me, so I'm hoping it might help them. Cheers.
Can Some one try the app Tunnelbear.. It lets you set your vpn to another country... Maybe than you can download the Gearmanager

I cant, for the life of me, ever find that .zip file that BeastSpencer is supposed to have.

This worked for me! Rooted Ricks ROM build 7 on the Verizon Note 3. Of course it was a process and a pain in the ass but I finally got watch styler to work and the gear manager is slight different looking. Downloaded the Samsung App file directly from Samsung though the zip didn't work.

Just a shot in the dark here how about putting the apk inside /system/priv-app then reboot instead ?

[Q] Gear 2 apps not showing up

So I downloaded quite a bit of apps for my gear 2 from the Samsung store e.g. appy geek. They don't show up on apps and if I click on the app from the store, it says view app in gear manager, but just shows gear manager home page. Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Same here! Did anyone solve this problem? Sometimes I download and install an app but it isn't visible in my G2. And in this way, I can't even uninstall it, since the problem is the same mrsimpson described.

Check your device is compatible, as the connection of your gear to your phone would depend on your version of Android. Also check in the samsung apps (galaxy apps) store instead of the Play store
Anyone found a solution yet?
I managed to run my gear 2 on my htc one m7, i installed apps to my phone but it creates no Icon on my watch as it should...
Anyone knows how to fix that?

I have a VZW S4 (SCH-i545), running Hyperdrive RLS19 and a Samsung Gear 2 Neo (SM-R381), Samsung Apps v14040104.21.007.1, Samsung Gear v2.2.14110499.
I cannot seem to dl and install gear 2 apps and have those apps show in gear manager or on the gear 2 itself.
I even tried moving the apk from downloads to system >apps, but move fails.
The process shows the black, "save file" then "install file" windows, that take up the entire screen
In what folder are Gear apps supposed to be stored, for use?
ETA: So I changed phones. I am now trying the Neo with an S4 on MDK and the Bonestock 1.1.4 ROM.
Every app I have tried has shown on the Neo. Both Watcher and Watch Styler.
The issue now is that when I get out of range and the Neo disconnects BT, it does not auto re-connect upon returning within range.
With the other phone it auto re-connected every time, but most apps would show. GRRR!

Samsung apps update problem (SM-G955U1)

Hey everyone...
I recently purchased a Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955U1) and I'm having some problems with it.
The Samsung native apps like Messages, Phone, Contacts, etc don't get updated, but in their "about" section which shows the version, says this app is up to date. I even tried going to Galaxy Apps and tried updating from there, but there is no update available. My phone itself is apparently up to date as well, but I'm not sure.
This is the software version installed:
G955U1UEU1AQH3
I went to apk websites and saw that almost all the samsung native apps on my phone are at least a couple versions out of date, and it's really bothering and annoying. To a point that my samsung messages app, doesn't even have "delivery report" option for sms. It's just not there...
2 of my family members have also Galaxy S8 pluses, and their phones function well, and everything is up to date!
So, how can I fix this problem on my phone without modding it or anything because I want my phone to remain mod free!
I will appreciate your help VERY VERY much!

What website you are using I'd like to see if my apps are updated.
load new versions from apkmirror.com, then for being able to install them without getting the "package exists" error you have to change the secure startup (off if on and vice versa), then you are able to update these system apps!

Still having issues after toggling the secure startup feature. Anyone have any other idea? Right now I still get the "package exists" error. I even try going up only one version at a time.

I figured it out. I was being too impatient before. Go to apkmirror or similar sites and download the apks to the phone. Once downloaded, you need to toggle secure startup (if it is on the turn it off, but if off then you will need to turn it on). After you do that, immediately restart your phone. Once booted, head directly to the download folder and install all of the apks. Do not launch any of the apps to verify until you finish loading all of the apks or you will have to repeat the process. Once you are done, you can launch which ever app to verify. I had an issue with the apps crashing at first so I rebooted and all issues went away for now at least.
Good luck. You can also set apkmirror to notify you when a new version comes out if you so choose to go that route.

OnePlus 6 incompatible with Samsung Pay plugin on Gear S3?

Just got the one plus 6 but can't get the Samsung pay gear plugin to install. Tried to install the Samsung gear and apps via APKs and got error saying this device isn't supported!
Same for anybody else
FIXED: Latest version of samsung pay APK doesn't work.
Downloaded much older version and it worked like a charm:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...-gear-1-5-6306-android-apk-download/download/
You might need to enable "install unknown apps"
You installed the Samsung gear app from the playstore? Are you rooted?
Same issue here. Not rooted. Stock Oxygen OS 5.1.5. Samsung gear app installed from Google Play store and everything seems to be working with the watch, it connects fine and shows notifications and such. Just try to open Samsung Pay on the watch and it says to open the gear app on the phone and install the Samsung Pay plugin. Click Ok and it opens up the gear app on my phone and then get the error as follows.
"Installation failed, try again later"

Im having sort of troubles..
#1 I had to install the apk for Samsung Pay for Gear but 3 times since launch my card was deleted, just like S-Pay was reset
#2 Samsung Pay doesnt show up in the Samsung Gear app on my phone, region restrictions? Beacuse I used the APK?
This is not working with the Oneplus 6 and the new Galaxy Watch ?
Hate to bump an old thread, but considering the OP6T in the next couple of days. Do you still need to use an old APK to get pay to work? And does updating it also break S-Pay? Probably going to stay stock at least for a while on the new phone either way, but it will influence whether I go forward with the OP or go with a Samsung instead...

The problem now is you can't get Samsung wearable app from playstore because it says "device not compatible". However, you can get everything from apkmirror. It all works fine.

I honestly am not sure about that. Can't say that I've had an update on the wearable apps that I recall... I do know that with the pay plugin, it updated itself when I started it up.
Ok regarding the question itself - my OP6 Worms l well with my Gear S3.

PSA: VOIP Calls (WhatsApp, Viber etc) On Gear S3 Working On Android 10

I recently switched to the Oneplus 7 Pro, updated to Android 10 and to my surprise, the calls made through WhatsApp and other similar apps can now be routed through Gear S3.
I also tested this on Pixel XL running Android 10 and so I assume it should work on all Android 10 devices.
Just wanted to let you guys know in case it hasn't been mentioned already.

Can you tell me how you got your plugin working?? I'm on a Pixel XL and it keeps telling me to check my software and update. I couldn't install from the play store it said my device was incompatible. So I downloaded the app but I get the update message... Any help would be amazing! Can't use my watch at all...

Hmm. Never ran into that issue. Maybe try hiding magisk manager and also using magisk hide for the three apps related to gear S3.
Also, in my case, the apps were available on the play store.
Are you sure you're using the latest apks?
Running Lineage 17 ROM may have been the issue as it was incompatible in the Play Store. Found a solution today figured I'd post it here as this was a top link for my search and hopefully it will help others.
Reset your watch and remove all Samsung related apps from your phone.
Install these two APK's and your back in business
https://www.dropbox.com/s/37untd7w3gkdlzs/gearoplugin_2.2.03.apk?dl=0
https://www.dropbox.com/s/en5dco911boyu17/watchmanager_2.2.27.apk?dl=0
For me, these plugins were incompatible in the Play store and many others I tried did not work. Only these 2 versions got me up and running again, so I figured I'd share them from my DB to hopefully help others.
