Spotify App - Samsung Gear S3

Has anyone been able to find the Spotify app? Can't seem to find it anywhere.

I have the same issue, I think the app is geo restricted

same here.
Through the music player it controls spotify on the phone and any connected device running spotify thats on the same wifi network, but where is the app as shown on Samsungs advertising literature eh?
the spotify icon is shown on the Gear S3 website fgs!!!
btw, im in the UK.

Spotify was up there as one of the reasons for purchasing the Gear S3.
Yes I wouldve bought it anyway, but seeing spotify heavily linked with the device was a definite biggee for me. A sweetner for sure!
Bit of a con no?!?
Can only hope its in the pipeline.

I'm in the US and i cant seem to find the Spotify App either, this shouldve been a day one app in my opinion.

Have the t-mobile frontier, spotify is not in the app store for me either. Again probably the top reason I bought the watch. Hopefully coming soon.

Looks like December we will receive it.

Response I got from Spotify Support today:
"Hey there,
Thanks for your email. We're happy to hear that you're interested to have your music with your Samsung Gear S3. We'll look into this for you.
We've taken a look at the advisories about partner devices and confirmed that the integration between Spotify and your device is being tested at the moment. As announced, we're looking to launch it officially soon.
It will be released globally through the Samsung Gear Store and the Gear S3 should be rolled out globally, as well.
At the moment, work is being done by Samsung on developing an offline caching update to the Gear S3. The aim is to have this released by end of the year.
This integration will support remote and local playback at launch as well as offline in the future. It is not live in their app store as it is yet to be tested and certified by us. The aim is to have it live globally in their Gear Store by 1st week of January, at the very latest.
Hope this answers your question. If you have other things in mind, you know where to find us.
All the best,
Stephenne
Spotify Customer Support"

Dang, this was theeeeeee sole reason I bought a Gear S3, so I can jog with my music and not with my phone. I hope they come through soon, I may return the watch under buyers remorse until the app proves to exist and work well. Otherwise, I couldn't care less about step counters or seeing texts on my wrist..

Same disappointment on the lack of Spotify, my only issue with the device.

Spotify is now in the Gear app store.

Yes but no offline mode...

Apkchest.com has Spotify Premium App

The app makes the watch connect to wifi even when connected to phone via Bluetooth therefore draining the battery fast.

Actually it has offline mode. In the settings you can select Stream over Wifi, and then it can work independent of the phone.
I justed tested. It stutters a bit first but then it works fine.
Awesome. Finally we have Spotify!

I love having Spotify on my watch a lot!
But it seems like there are some bugs in the app.
Once I selected Stream over Wifi, I cannot go back to Remote mode anymore. It says "BT disconnected" although phone connection is working fine.
Anyway, this is a good start and I hope they will release a fix soon.

Sorry, I think I confused offline with standalone mode.
I have a non-LTE gear S3, and I can stream video over WiFi without connecting to the phone.
No offline (downloaded) music though, you are right.

BBC iPlayer App

Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far
Top Job BBC !!
Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.
Hopefully it will work for you.
Def gonna be one of my most used apps
Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?
EDIT: i have tried using market enabler but still can't find it on the market, i need a UK provider or the .apk

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

Dave

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..
I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.
The apk is attached

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.
Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

we can trick the market app with marketenabler, can we do the same with this?
can anyone send me there uk service provider id number, the thing that gets changed in the market enabler, so i can try it out?

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.
and do these vpns work over 3g?

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?

[APP][2.2+] CheapCast. Turn your Device into a ChromeCast Dongle

Ok, here it is. The first public beta of CheapCast, an App that let's your Android Device emulate a ChromeCats Dongle. I decided to put this up for free since I believe it could potentially useful to a whole lot of people. If you like it and it works for you, feel free to just use one of the Donation options within the App.
I will also make the Source Code available in the near future (I'm still cleaning it a bit up). Just watch this space: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast
I hope to further improve the App and welcome anybody who wants to contribute.
In my first PoC-Video I've showed CheapCast with YouTube, I've just uploaded another video showing Google Music streaming to a Nexus 7 running CheaCast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ktmrXgj9qQ&feature=youtu.be
As this is the first public Beta please expect things to fail. I appreciate your feedback. Please log your issues/bugreports here: https://github.com/mauimauer/cheapcast/issues
Hope you enjoy it.
Get it on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.maui.cheapcast
or download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877489999237
Awesome thanks. I'll be testing as soon as I get home.
very handy!

Awesome concept, but I cannot get my Revue to cooperate at all. It force closes every single time I try to start the service. I've tried multiple reboots and re-installs. Blah this Revue is a POS.
Awesome. Planning to try this on my Nexus Q running CM. Finally give the Q a purpose in life once again
Thanks!
Works on my SGS3 and my Xoom.
Not on my HPTouchpad or my Ouya but I haven't tried very hard yet.
Like it a lot!!!!
Works OK so far. Great concept for sure!! I can get all 3 of my Samsung device to connect but can only get you tube to play. I keep getting errors when using Google play music. Says unable to play requested song.... Anyway, I have my galaxy note 8.0 and also a galaxy s4 connecting to a galaxy s2 skyrocket. I've even tried connecting just the note 8.0 and s4 and have the same issue. Hope to get this fixed soon... Would love to stream to my surround sound when I feel like jammin!
A explaination on what this does exactly would be nice.
concept
i dont know why people are using both sender and receiver as mobile devices i think the concept of this app is that your suppose to install this app on a android tv hdmi dongle and transfer content from your mobile device to you tv
This is really awesome can anyone recommend some good dongles? works great with my gnex via MHL, but still a bit troublesome

Reading this might help, Turn Your Extra Android Device into a Chromecast Receiver with CheapCast.
its to use one for sending and one for receiving, could be useful if u have a spare fone with hdmi.

I was just wondering if such service will be available on other platforms like, Linux or Windows. So it can run on HTPCs.

Try https://github.com/dz0ny/leapcast/
Both seem to have the same problems at the moment though, single channel? Loses connection with the sender after one or two tracks of a playlist.
Very much looking forward to seeing how this develops.

Tried loading up Cheap cast on a second device. (MK802 and ATV1200) It didn't like that at all, none of my phones could see any CCs in Music.
Why??

Same problem here, losing the connection after a song. The only way to get it working again is to either disconnect and reconnect the sender, or to restart the service on the receiver. Bar that, this is class

Had this issue as well. I found out, that CheapCast is registered as another device for Google Play Music. I already had 10 devices attached, so killing some of the old and not used ones fixed that problem.
Maybe you got the same problem, if its only Music that is not working?

Hulu play issues

Anybody able to use Hulu and play it? I can stream it to my Chromecast, but I can't play it on the Mate 9. My mate 9 isn't rooted or anything. It can play the advertisements, but after the ads the screen is dark. Anybody have similar experience?
Network instabilities apart, It happened to me for a while on a Samsung galaxy tab A 2016 10.1 running marshmallow. It stopped after webview got updated.
It can be related, but I ain't sure. Haven't experienced anything similar on the mate 9, but since on nougat webview is handled directly from chrome, just for the sake of testing, go to developer options and check out which webview implementation you are using. If it is chrome stable, install chrome dev or canary on the play store and change webview according to it.
Another small option that is worth trying is "enable multi-process webview".
Still stuck

THANKS FOR THE INSITE! Really learned a bit by diving into those dev settings. Sadly didn't work in either case.
Ever verify a solution for this problem (O.P)?
I wonder if our slissues are the same.
US Mate 9
Current ROM
Current Hulu Build
Everything works but the show. Even stranger...I get navigation, pre-rolls, and the icon in the player (NBC, or ABC, Fox...Whatever) and if I seek on the OSD the thumbnails show the scene. All of that and yet the screen is black, aside from said logo.
---------- Post added at 03:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------
Just enabled CLOSED CAPTION to see if it were somehow playing behind a black box, of sorts, and it wasn't. C.C. revealed that the show or movie simply won't start. It does all the other roll and the screen goes to the player, but their player won't initiate no matter what I do.
Same hulu won't play
Just got the Mate 9, MHA-L29 and I am unable to watch Hulu, black screen forever, any fixes out there??

GOOD NEWS. After an hour with Hulu support on chat they were able to resolve the issue. They have to change the player that your phone uses. They tried a few different ones and finally it worked. Been playing various shows now with no problem. So when you talk to them tell them they need to switch your mobile devices app player
It's an internal player thing, they change the app inside the hulu app itself.

Unfortunately not, let's say the app receives an x264 stream from Hulu, they have to change it on their end so the server pushes a different format the Mate 9 supports.

I tried that 100 times while on support with Hulu, with no luck. It wasn't until they told me they had to change the player that it started working. I can tell the stream coming to my Mate 9 is different because I can no longer toggle the quality option, it sets the resolution depending on the available bandwidth.
I contacted them and implemented the fix but the quality looks like crap. I might be getting rid of the phone since it has many quirks that kind of irk me. Gonna miss the battery life though.
I called and they need to change the player on the backside but the quality really isn't good
I finally got it working. I can select quality, etc.
Ended up flashing to B183. I have the 6GB version now from China. So I went from China->International->USA (C567)
Now on 183, works perfectly. I was extremely surprised
Let me know if anyone gets it to work on the 181 firmware.

Dish AirTV and Adapter, post your findings! Here's mine...

After searching around, I couldn't find any place people were really talking about these things... So here we go.
After finding out about the AirTV player and adapter from Dish, I purchased one. Here's what I've learned.
The adapter is a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-955Q. I tested it on my laptop and it works just fine. Best Buy sells that model for $59. Dish sells them for $30. Bonus.
I haven't tried sideloading the Amazon VOD app, but that's next on my list. Also, hoping that AT&T will release a DirecTVNow Android TV app soon. My question is, when they do, is there any way for Dish to block it on their AirTV box? Considering it is their direct competition. Or can we just root this thing and do it anyway? I'm thinking about just keeping the AirTV adapter and getting a SHIELD and going that route.
Anybody else messing around with these things?
Can you tell me what chipset it uses and how much RAM and storage space it has?
CPU: 4x ARM Cortex-A53 @ 1200 MHz
64 bit ARM
Ram: 1GB
---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------
They don't have any factory images available, but I got word that they are planning to push an update OTA by end of February.
We'll have to grab that when it's downloaded.
You can access recovery by plugging it in and holding down the "find remote" button.
Android recovery
Technicolor/uiw4010ech
6.0.1/MUF05/1.0.2.111816
Then you can reboot to bootloader, which then just starts up Android.
You can disable the sling app in settings and it won't then auto launch.
I like the remote of n the device. It automatically integrates with your TV using infrared. I am going to try it on the Nexus player to see how compatible it is.
Can one of you pull the sling apk from your airtv box? TIA
**edit
Guess that was too difficult for you guys, thanks for nothing

Could you get the sling apk for this. I'm having scaling issues with SD content on Android TV version. Want to see if this is any better.

I'm curious if it's possible to get rid of the built in interface and move to stock android tv. And still allow us to use the OTA dongle

I was wondering the same thing, and how close this is / can be to vanilla Android TV. Thinking of taking advantage of the SlingTV promotion to get one.

I have been using it for about a month and purchased because of the Sling promotion (Model UIW4010ECH). Works pretty well and has a good tv guide interface that combines the Sling and OTA channels. I am very annoyed that it blocks several apps including xfinity and amazon video. I'm trying to get amazon to work. I have ES file explorer installed and pulled the amazon apk from my nexus. Tonight, I plan to spend some time tinkering. If there is anyone with advise, I'm all ears.
I downloaded the Amazon instant video for android from API dot.com and side loaded it. it was version 4.1.20 which I think is the apk for Sony smart tv and after reset of airtv player , it has worked fine.
DirectTV app for tablets works, until I click on a channel to watch....lol

Has anyone figured out how to record OTA channels on the AirTV? I got the tuner through the Sling promotion and it pulls in all my local channels fine in both the Sling app and the Live Channels app. I put a 32gb USB thumb drive in the second USB to test if I could record anything but there does not seem to be an option to do that. My understanding is that in the Live Channels app guide shows that can be recorded should say something like "DVR recordable" in their listing. I didn't see that for any of my OTA channels.
I also tried sideloading the Plex Server app from a ShieldTV just for ****s and giggles but that wouldn't even install.
Has anyone had any more luck than me?

Has anyone figured out how to record OTA channels on the AirTV? I got the tuner through the Sling promotion and it pulls in all my local channels fine in both the Sling app and the Live Channels app. I put a 32gb USB thumb drive in the second USB to test if I could record anything but there does not seem to be an option to do that. My understanding is that in the Live Channels app guide shows that can be recorded should say something like "DVR recordable" in their listing. I didn't see that for any of my OTA channels.
I also tried sideloading the Plex Server app from a ShieldTV just for ****s and giggles but that wouldn't even install.
Has anyone had any more luck than me?

I'm also curious about this.. I have seen a couple reviews indicating they have disabled any kind of external USB support.. however, they do say on their website, "OTA DVR coming soon". That leads me to believe that they are looking into allowing external storage but that that haven't made it that far yet, which makes me sad.
I'm going to try and see if it can locate my NAS drive and get a 3rd party tuner app to record shows to it over my network. Other than that I don't think there's any way to get it working unless someone roots it and gets USB storage working natively.
Sorry if I am not knowledgeable on these things. I want to download and enable the apk for setvnow on the AirTV. Right now it only allows apps from the play store. I need to access the apk via a website. If i can then this box might just be what i need to combine IPTV and OTA TV.
Maybe the wrong spot, but I was trying to get the USB tuner to work on my Nexus. No such luck. I plugged it into my window 10 comp and had to manually download the drivers to get it to work since it's a Haupaugge (sp) adapter. Any idea to get it to work on the Nexus player. Those adapters are cheaper than it's own ones. Thanks
Edit. Just a thought. Been playing with it (Xbox one, etc) I wonder if dish blocked any device from Auto detecting it to find drivers??

Re the battery status what do you mean?
Re the Widget - I did think of that but I wasn't sure what value it would add ... you mean to more easily launch it?
What I *really* want to do is create a Tizen 5.0 complication so that people can place the launcher on their watchfaces ... hope Tizen 5 devices come out soon!
Amazing job.
anyway we will have this for google assistant too?

My reading of the Google Assitant terms of service is that it is for new hardware devices only, but I'd love to be told I'm wrong, since I'm pretty sure I've done a lot of the hard work with the low-level audio and http/2 connections already.

In the watch app you can swipe right to an empty screen. Why is this there?
Registration
Hello. Just bought the app from the GalaxyApps Store. However, every time I launch it from the watch, it gives me a new registration code. I enter it, I get the message saying it was successful and my registration is now complete. Then it happens all over again. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: OK, it seems to be fine now. On the 9th or 10th try, it stayed registered. I don't think I changed anything from one instance to another, so I couldn't tell you what caused the different outcome.

It shows visual feedback for some questions, such as "How deep is the ocean". I'll add an explanation on the page in the next release since you are not the only one who has asked about this.

I can't find the app in Galaxy App Store.
I just downloaded and set it up, and it's working quite well! Kudos for the good job, finally a decent assistant on the Galaxy watch !

Hi,
Which phone and watch do you have? I know it does not show up in the iPhone Galaxy Apps because they do not list paid apps there .
If you have an S3 or Sport can you verify that you have the Tizen 4.0 update applied?
Also could you let me know what country you are in, and what country your account is registered to? I've enabled it for everywhere except China, but I've had someone from Costa Rica that was not able to find it either.
I'm still trying to find my way around the Samsung store.
Regards,
Damian

Hi I replied below to someone with the same issue ... can you take a look. Thanks.
Hi, am using an S8 on Pie and S3 sport.
Looks like watch is still on 3.0, with no update available. Registered in UK, and used in UK

That will be it then ... I think I saw some UK receiving the update in this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GearS3/ ... fingers crossed.
Is Alexa or your app able to write and send messages using voice recognition ? It's a pain with "period" and punctuation signs in S-Voice ...
Which languages are supported ?
Thanks for your work anyway.

AFAIK you can't use Alexa to write and send voice messages ... the app doesn't "know" anything about your Watch or Phone ... it just provides Alexa functionality (general questions, home device control etc.). It should support any language that Alexa supports .. the language it uses depends on the Amazon account you use to sign up. Definitely English, German and Itialian .... but all should work (if Amazon Alexa supports them).
Will this be possible in future updates??
I love it ! Are you able change the voice output on app ? I.E. Different voices ? The current sometimes is a little low and hard to understand. Thank you and amazing job !
