I've read there is a multitude of apps already available for Gear 2. From knowyourmobile.com: " eBay, Expedia, News Republic, CNN, Conde Nast, Sleep Genius and Runtastic are all currently available on Samsung's Tizen OS". I've read there's a paypal app for it as well. In the gear manager there's only like 20 apps (many of them are college themed watch faces for $2). Am I missing something?...
I would have thought would all be in the Samsung apps but looking and a search in there im not seeing paypal or sleep genius in there

I see sleep genius but it wont install, I get a WO:WO Failure.
I saw the app late last night, sent developer email but haven't heard back and still won't install on my GS4
FWIW, if you go to the Samsung App Store (not the Gear specific one), there is a newer version of Paypal here vs. what's in the Google Play store. I installed it but I didn't see anything Paypal related on my Gear 2. So maybe it's only used by select merchants or the Gear interface is only utilized for certain scenarios? I would think we would have a Gear specific Paypal app, but I'm new to all this so not really sure. Just found it odd that Samsung has a newer version vs. the Google Play store.
Yes. Like stated above. The trick is to open gear manager. Go to samsung apps and search from there. There are just a handful. Sleep genius is one of them

i deleted sleep genius. very basic app but the dev said a full featured one will arrive May 1st with tracking and lots of additional features. as it is now not much more than a white noise type concept

how come this works like this ? I just don't understand why accessing Samsung apps from within gear manager would make it different but it does. blasted thing. hehe

It was there, but anymore. I didn't think it did a good job. I set the alarm to 6am and when I go back to the home screen and then back to the app, the alarm shows 815pm. Think they pulled it to fix it or something.

they are releasing a full featured app on May 1st with lots of stuff including tracking and other goodies per comments from the devs. as it stood it was nothing more than a white noise streamer more or less. I'm not entirely sure why they released that version as it wasn't very useful. They are aware and the full app should be awesome.

If you have a rooted phone maybe you could try xprivacy and app privacy settings to fake a samsung serial number etc...

Dont have my phone rooted, I would but it wipes all the data.
I'm not a COMPLETE nub (although this may be something easy to fix, I'm just not sure how to, if at all.)
- Google Now version: 3.5.15
- Google Play Servces: 5.0.x
Cleared data for the Google search, not quite to google now launcher, although I'll try that now.
Restarted the device.
The Ok google hotword is still there, however, the extra settings are not there, almost like it's registering that I never updated it.
Could this be a custom ROM issue?

Is your language English (US)? For me the extra options were grayed out until I changed the language to English (US).
from what I've read, its a server side option that Google needs to activate on your account

LanguageInput/Voice search/OK google detection
check all the 3 boxes and say ok google 3 times, click OK.
Just for info. After enabling OK Google everywhere you cannot record any sound using voice recorder as microphone stands by for any response from Google. There needs to be a kinda white list to exclude voice recorder. Maybe "ok Google for 3rd party activity" module (already available) be helpful in such case.
The problem that I don't have the 3 boxes I have only ok google from Google search app and I tried everything even ok google everywhere method ?
Your Google now hasn't been updated to latest version yet.

Sounds like you have the latest version. From what I understand, Google is activating ok google everywhere on an acct basis so that probably means you have not been selected yet. However, there is a workaround that you can try. Open the google now app and type in "ok google everywhere" on the search bar. This apparently activates it. Personally i haven't tried this method as i was activated before this workaround was posted.
Make sure you set language to English (US) in case you're using the UK version. Otherwise it doesn't work. Weirdly.

Try this, it worked with me:
1- Open google search app
2- type in : Okay Google Everywhere
3- Hit search
4- Hit menu key and choose settings, then choose voice, then choose OK Google word detection, you should find multiple options including "Ok google from any screen"
Best of luck

I think there's a bug with the Google Search app, if you turn on the ok google on any screen the voice recorder app won't work ?

Hi everyone,
I've been seeing many people having issues with installing Google framework on the AL00 variant.
The fact is that Google framework is already baked in and it is just a simple update to enable it.
1. Open app gallery and change country to China
2. Search for Google play store and click update
3. After update, click on open
4. The usual setup will appear
5. Done.
After the above steps, the majority of Google services and sync, etc should all be working.
* Update - OK Google does not work out of the box.
Have a good time with your new baby ?
Cheers!

I should say Google framework instead of services. I need to test out Google assistant as I don't use it but "OK Google" might not work at all due to Hivoice.
I'll update this thread to reflect more facts.
I just used the browser to look up "Google play store" and it gave me an option to download/update it, I've never opened the app gallery and everything works fine ??
I do the same? thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the suggestion above. I have legit fried my tiny brain on all aspects of getting google play to activate/update install what have you.
My location in the App Store ALREADY says China - and I am still unable to open or update the Google Play Store.
Any other suggestions? I am also unable to create a Huawei ID for the phone, it keeps saying "Restricted" and won't let me. Any work-arounds for this?
There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.
The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.
Releases ยท blunden/SPayToGPay
A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay
github.com
NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.
EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.
I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.
So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything
sorry mate have to let you know I tried everything but it doesnt seem to work

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?
Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

yeah the package name, not an app. Also, I'm the same person over on reddit so it's pointless to have 2 conversations using both reddit and xda, I'll keep you updated on reddit
It appears that restarting the watch after installing the app is required.

It doesn't hurt to launch Google Wallet once, although not sure if that's actually required or not.

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
