Is there driving mode or car mode anywhere on here?
Yep, think it's an optional install from the Galaxy app store. Uses Here for mapping.

I know this is a fool question... I am (also) new to the Galaxy...
How do I get to the "Galaxy App Store" (It is not something in the pre-loaded apps... Nor is it something I see in the Samsung group... Nor did searching for "Galaxy App Store" find anything particularly inciteful)
And the name of the App we are looking for is?
I have 'Galaxy apps' installed by default.

Is there a reason you don't want to use Waze for driving or GMaps for nav?

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.

no i mean i got the "Samsung apps" app to install on my htc one and it opens but doesnt show any content. I will try changing my build prop entries for product name/id model no. and what not to see if I can trick it into thinking the app is being run on a samsung phone

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

Probably because your using Japanese internet, you can also Google for the apk file! Googling, I found the file but I don't know if I'd trust it

Is the apk for the watch ??? I have Here apps in the J play store but not on the watch
The apk is not for watch, I thought the gear uses another .ext for gear. You might be looking at japan's here map, through their store

ok thanks ! I need the one for the watch but cant find it anywhere on google
No prob, I think you can't find it because it was pre-installed on our gears. Maybe someone knows how to extract it from there...good luck

That would be a big help !!
Have you checked apkmirror.com? Whenever google puts out an update to an app, or any app is updated in stages, normally this site already has it for people to sideload.
What about vpn? Have you tried opening your store via a vpn tunnel? You can set your vpn to other country. Tunnel Bear is a great one, give it a try.
Hello!
I was wondering if someone who owns the device already would let us know what applications are available right now. I read somewhere that there is nit too many besides some watchfaces. Samsung claimed 10000 apps, maybe for S2 but are they compatible for S3?
Specifically the most used apps on my Android Wear are like remote phone camera control Pixtocam, loyalty cards barcode display Wear Codes, Glympse, Backcountry navigator, Endomondo, Nest, Shazam...
Are the apps equivalent to any of those available?
From what I could find in the Gear store...

Endomondo is a bummer as it was available for Gear S....
Other than that-is there a decent selection of apps? S2 had almost nothing at launch that's why i switched to Android wear a year ago. Now i am finally returning lg urbane 2 under recall so i have a chance to try s3

It looks like a lot of the S2 apps are compatible with the S3 so there is already a decent number of available apps and watch faces.
That's good news, might be a keeper then!
Thanx for checking.
One app I would really like is Spotify but it's not there. I haven't seen anything for the S3 that I want and the choice is limited at the moment. Gear navigator is a must app, most turns show up as street view using Google maps, it cost £1.99.
I am not sure about 10000, but there are a ton of apps on the Gear Store. Some are rubbish but there are some equally useful ones too. People complain that there are more watch faces than apps, this is true, but it's not a bad thing! The watchface after all is the thing you look at most so having a choice that suits your taste is essential.
I installed:
Here Maps
Navigator Companion
Yelp
Calculator
Gear Browser (Full function web browser!)
Flashlight Premium 2 (Torch)
Brrr (This cool utility makes the watch vibrate like crazy when you leave your phone behind!)

Got the watch, it's awesome.
FidMe is for the phone only though, for the phone I use Beep'n'Go... Loved the WearCodes... Hopefully someone will come up with a similar app for Tizen

Save your barcodes as images, send to Gear. I've added Starbucks barcode, it scans from watch without a problem.

Hi, what image size did you use for picture of the Starbucks code? I'm sending the screen shot of the Starbuck barcode to the Gallery on the S3 but when displayed on the watch code does not fit the screen

hey i would like to know what is the reason why I am not able to find the camera controller or camera gear and App launcher widget apps from the gear app store.
I have a Samsung Gear s3 and phone i have a Oneplus 3
Is there any apps to see movie showtimes and reviews? Sort of like Flixster with Rotten Tomatoes for your cell phone.
In all the Reviews from the watch they talk about the BMW connected drive app... where is it!? I cannot find it in the store ore on the watch!?

You can try the VPN method for accessing spotify app. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72692451&postcount=2
Is this app still available for the Gear S3. I can't seem to find it anywhere, regardless of whether I use a VPN or not.
I got a frontier update yesterday, said it enabled here we go access, browser from the watch access, etc, all that stuff. once the app as done, I wen't to download here we go, and it's not in the app store, anywhere, samsung says it works in the USA on the here website, but I can't find it -anywhere-, anyone have any idea what's going on with that? that's the only reason I planned on keeping the damn thing, without proper nav, it's basically useless.
I just found it. I searched for "here".
I did not find it when I searched for "map" unless I did not scroll down the list sufficiently.
Well, it took quite a while to download it. BUT it only seems to show WALKING routes and I do not see any way to change settings other than Units from metric to imperial. No mode setting??
I've search the gear apps section for "here" and nothing pops up.
Strange!

It shows up under the phone section, but not the gear section.
I reached out to " HERE " on twitter, and they basically showed me some screen shots and said it's there. However.. it's still not, so they are mistaken. Something seems to be going on with it, but with little to no information, it's frustrating.
In the Gear App and looking for apps I searched for "here" and it showed up.
By the way when I used it again, I was able to chose a mode of travel and was not limited to walking. I'm in the US if that affects where it is available.

I have it installed on my S3, but it doesn't show up in the application search for me either.
