I plan on upgrading from my Note 3 to the Developer Note 4. I'm concerned of complaints I've read from Note 4 users that some apps aren't showing up in the Samsung Gear App Market to download due to not being approved for the Note 4, (possibly they require the dev to resubmit for approval with the new device) - is this really happening or am I wrong?
Can any of you Note 4 users please chime in on your experience with the Gear 2 so I can determine whether I want to make the jump or not?
I have a note 4 and gear 2. i can't get flesky messenger in the gear app store but that's a well known thing. Outside of that everything else works fine from what i can tell. I am not big on the gear store apps anyway.
I can confirm this; some apps I'd installed together with my Note 3, are NOT available for install on my Gear 2 in combination with my Note 4!
can any of you post specific apps that are missing for you?
I got a notification for KLWinkel a few days ago that his Multi-Watch app should work (and that's my #1 app right now).
Some other essentials I would like to make sure work:
Wearable Widgets
Smart IR lite
Toggles
Shoplist
Launchgear
LookBehind
Gearam Music ID (shazam-like music search on the gear)
I have a Verizon Note 4 and Neo 2, the only app on that list I have and confirm working is the gear music ID and it works well.

Thanks for reporting back - that's very encouraging! I do use the watch when grocery shopping so that's one of my essentials. I tried wristlist, but I don't prefer it without an option to make the background black, I feel it eats up too much battery with the white backgrounds. Shoplist actually does this and has the tickboxes I like.

So, I have a Galaxy S4 (sprint if it matters), and it comes with a pretty simple app called "Clock". This app has multiple alarms, a stopwatch, timer, world clock, and (if you rotate it sideways) a desktop clock. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2014 edition tablet. It does not come with this app, but comes with something called "Alarm", which I don't find nearly as useful. Thus, my question is, is there some way to grab the Clock app off my phone and install it on my tablet, preferably without rooting either device? Or, does anyone just have that clock as an apk sitting around somewhere that I can side load?
I've tried to find the app in the Google Play store, but with a name like "Clock" it isn't easy to find. Also, I am NOT looking for some other app that does the same thing or is "better"; I just want the one I have on my phone.
thanks
I purchased a Gear S to go with my S6 Edge and wanted to download and install all the cool faces, BUT looks like the app has been removed by samsung, and if you download the app from other sources it installs until the integration with Gear Manager and then fails, anyone found a work around for this?
How can I use Google Now from the watch to take a note via voice?

That's awesome share with us how
There is a "wearable widgets" app in Google play store, install it. Free version allow only one widget, paid many. Next install "wearable widgets" companion app from Samsung gear store. Set up widget you like on phone (for example google search widget) and that widget (s) will be available on your watch when you open wearable widgets companion app on watch. Use scroll ring to switch between different widgets if you use paid version.

Hi,
I figured a few days ago that when I use the vocal command to activate SVoice on the Watch, Google Now run in the same time on the phone and ear what I say in the watch mic. I haven't yet tested all the thing but maybe it will do what you want.
Is it not possible for someone to develop a google now app for the S2? I sadly can't code to save my life else I would do it myself lol but there's 3rd party apps able to add commands to google now, surely it's possible to create an app for it or maybe even port the android wear one over somehow? Be much better than S-voice.
One thing I've done with S-voice though is by using the text command, I've added my own phone number into my contacts listed as task so I can use tasker to do something when I receive a certain message from the contact task. All I do then is just ask s-voice on the S2 to send task a text message followed by what command I set up. For example I set it up so that I can say to s-voice "text task turn on light" and it will turn on my LiFX smart bulb. It's not fast at doing it being s-voice but better than nothing I guess.
It's kind of sad that "Volume up" isn't even supported by S voice. The gear S2 desperately needs Google Now voice, a sleep tracker, and official native apps for music services. The pull down screen needs an overhaul with common menu settings and bezel volume control too. I should be able to navigate my watch and phone settings with my voice. Volume, Gesture Wake up, Display Always On, Do not Disturb, Power Saving, Play, Pause, Mute, Lights with chosen intensity, and display brightness level. This should all be in the realm of possibility and should be standard in 2016 for an innovative top tier device. S voice is just holding the product line back as it is now. I dream of the day I can just talk to my devices and vehicles like a real person.
I have a load of third party edge panels that I use on my Galaxy devices, but it seems that the only ones you can use with the Z Fold2 are the pre-installed ones. I really need a calendar one but there are none coming up in the Galaxy Store.
This is puzzling, why would Samsung not allow third party ones? Unless I am missing something?

Same problem here. Hope a firmware update will fix this.

I didn't realize it's not an option.. Ughhh
I thought I was going crazy. I looked everywhere for the download link...

New firmware update didn't bring any link for Edge Panels in Galaxy Store ?

I have to say, the built in edge panel for Smart Select is welcome!
This was one S-Pen feature I missed on my Note 20
.
I use and app called Panels. It allows for 1 panel each for apps (which includes shortcuts, widgets, system apps, etc), contacts, & widgets all for free. For $1.99 you get a total of 10. This app has made my phone a DREAM I can separate work apps from home apps and/or vert from horz or whatever - 1 set up for front screen 1 for main screen

It's in addition to it. I use both. Samsung Edge for "paired apps" and then this app for customized edge panels
I'm trying to find an alternative launcher for my watch 4 that i can select as alternative launcher in watch settings. Does it exist? I would like to hide one of messages app ( Samsung messages and Google messages) from launcher but seems impossible...
I don't know, but I really hope they either offer a list mode like my Watch Active 2 had or an alternative comes along. I really despise the new launcher. I use XDrip (for blood glucose readings) on the watch and it has several components that get installed and they all have the same icon, making it impossible to know which is which. Not all icons are really self explanatory either.

Another fellow type 1 and xdrip user here!
I'm really hoping for an alternative launcher as well. One that is similar to wear os 2.0.
But when it comes to your specific problem have you tried just using wearable widgets?
I keep this as the first tile. I still get to have the watch face I want, but it's just a swipe to the right and there's my bg. It works very well.

I do use Wearable Widgets as well. It's also the first tile in my list just in case I want to change my watch face from XDrip. I find that it doesn't update that well or quickly though. I have to swipe to it and then wait for it to update. I should specify that I'm type 2, but bad enough I needed a Dexcom to monitor. It's been SUPER helpful to help control my BG and keep me honest.
