Google maps can do offline, check the play store for the add on.
Of course GPS is required for navigating...but there's a few that don't need data. I'm assuming maps can do it with the ad on. I haven't tried it tho.

Not even if the maps for the area are downloaded? Hmmmm...kinda dumb.
I've tried every navigation app out there.....wasn't happy with any. That's just me. Get the trials and try them. That's all I can suggest.

All good apps but if you don't pay you haven't got nothing :crying:

I've always liked Copilot as an alternative, but the geography it covers is limited. I'm taking a trip to Belize soon and I'm having trouble finding an offline navigation solution for that.

Eh, if it's a free app that will get me basic offline directions when I'm in a country where I can't get data, I'll be happy. .

I just ... do not get Minecraft. I tried the free version a while back on my phone, and I couldn't imagine anything more BORING.... I guess I'm not the target market.
I already owned Swiftkey, bought it when it was brand new on the Android Market as an upgrade from their earlier free beta. THAT was a long time ago! And, I have it free from Amazon LOL....
Have Sketchbook Mobile from Amazon's free apps.. and I do not use it at all...
Soundhound is popular, yeah, but I do not ever see myself using it. I never feel I just have to know what the name of a particular song I hear in public is...
The others? Meh.
I hear from a birdie that ADW-EX is gonna be one of the 10 centers soon though!

[Q] ok google not working

Hi,
How do you get the Google Now functionality to work?
I thought all you had say was "ok Google" with the screen off?
It doesn't seem to work is there something that needs turning on?
Change voice search to English US in settings, then it will work

So Google Now does work with the screen off on the Nexus 5?? I haven't received mine yet but from all of the reviews I've read online, they've all pretty much have said that it only works with the screen on, which I was disappointed about, and couldn't figure out why Google would leave that type of technology off their flagship.

[APP] SmartMote - music remote control

Hi, i just published my sony smartwatch 2 new app. It's called SmartMote and it is for player remote control.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.zalsky.android.watchremotecontrol
great!
so pitty you haven't done it yesterday when i bought similar plugin for poweramp.
That universal control is what i was looking for
edit:
bought it. App is working as described. Love it. Now i can listem to my audiobooks with controls on my watch. Thank you
Just bought the app myself, seems to be working very nicely. The album art is a very nice touch. Speaking of touch, you've gotten the targets spot on almost for the size of the display, and removing swipes for volume is good too, as swiping is notioriously fiddly with the SW2.
Well done sir!
Tom.
:good: i'am glad you like it. Please don't forget to rate app on Play Store, also comments are welcomed. It's the best way to say thankyou
just have one idea. Can you make something similiar as in poweramp widget? When app is launched screen doesn't lock to clock mode, but dim and for example put small clock ontop, or even not. When i often switch music it is a little bit annoying for me to unlock watch to click 'next'.
Thank you
Sounded good until I got to the "only works with 4.4". Nice work though...
Works great! Nice app!

4.4 kitkat is required do to some APIs app needs to exists, sorry for that. i will be much happier if there will be some way to avoid that
Fantastic App! This is the only one that i have found to work with google music perfectly and the ui is great. Well worth the price. Ill be writing a review on the play store for you soon.
Works great with Audible and pocketcasts. 5 stars.
Unbelievable! The best app on my watch! Thank you.
Edit..I have one request. Could you sometime in the future add low power mode to keep the screen on?

Edge Panels/Feeds

Since the Samsung Galaxy App Store is horrible when it comes to finding what you are looking for I'm making this OP to discuss/share Edge panels/feeds. If you have one that you find useful, or jsut want tot alk about them feel free to post below. I would like to see what types of extra functionality we can get from the edge besides media controls and other small things (edge feed)
I'm looking to try new things ones assuming there are more than the half dozen or so on the Galaxy App Store. I would like a edge feed for Google news, or maybe Google fit of possible.
I have there already a question. I saw in some Videos about the Phone a Football App but i couldnt find one on my own. Is there something like this?

That's also a possibility. I checked the Galaxy App Store and it doesn't have the Yahoo panels, so maybe someone could pull the files for you from their phone? If you know how I can do it, but this is my first Samsung phone in a long time

What carrier? Many of the U.S. carriers delete and/or add pre-installed apps. Especially Verizon. Might want to search on Yahoo and see if you can find anything.
Got the phone this morning and here are my thoughts on the Edge...
I'm coming from an LG G3 which is the same size screen but because of the Edge the Samsung screen is definitely small but I guess it makes the phone narrower too.
Now, on to the Edge panels...
Why are there only 5 spots for contacts when you can have two columns for other things?
My feeling is the Edge panels are just a gimmick as I have been using an app called SwipePad for years and it gives me short-cuts at a swipe and very customisable too with add ons.
