Seen mention of this app on other threads but have searched the Samsung Galaxy Gear store and the Google Play store and there's no mention of it. Can someone confirm how/where I can get it,or recommend another web browser app that works with the S3?
It's definitely there (unless it's market dependent )

OK found it at last. It's very tricky to use as entering text using the watch is hard work. Also not very intuitive. Do you know if there are any instructions for how to use it?
It's more of a gimmick or something to show off than a serious web browser, so yes it's not easy to type or use.
Not sure why you need instructions, all the navigation buttons are on the edges of the screen. The rest is exactly the same as any other browser.

I've searched forums and the market.
Im looking for an app that will allow me to specify an application to launch on startup.
So, boot the phone, home screen arrives, app launches (in this case Browser).
If no app is available id be happy with a script or something as my device is rooted. just need a means of auto-opening.
Suggestions?
Many thanks!
Anyone? =/
Tasker will do it, ull find it ob the market, its not free but on the devs homepage u can download a 7 days trial

I want to run Google maps and YouTube apps rather than the browser versions, but there is no option I can select like my p1000 had when I clicked a link. Any way to do this? The browser versions suck.

I have no trouble running the apps. In fact, I think it came with the YouTube app installed.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Yes they're both pre-installed it just doesn't goto the app when a YouTube link is pressed, it just plays it in the browser and no choice to use the app instead

I don't have my Tab at work, so I'll check when I get home, but I didn't think that they opened in the browser. Youtube may (I don't remember for certain), but I'm almost certain Google maps does not. Of course, I may have just be oblivious to it, so I'll have to check to be sure.

Have you tried updating or reinstalling the apps from the Marketplace?
Just took a closer look. Maps is a standalone app (I think it was around 30 MB). YouTube doesn't open in the normal browser, but i do think it's possibly just a link that opens the browser with certain functions disabled as it's only 68k, but doesn't have the normal browser menu options.

I don't think I am getting my message across clearly. This is an example. If you install a new browser and then do a Google search, it will then ask you which browser to open up the search with. This is how it is on my p1000 with map links and YouTube links when browsing and pressing links. On the p6200 it is not giving this option. It just runs them inside of the browser.

YouTube is pre-installed and not on the market here with Honeycomb. Maps is up to date and reinstalled. I just think its something usefull that has been removed from Honeycomb. Maybe Google think the web versions are just as good on honeycomb which I would disagree with.

Seems to only be from the browser. If I open a link outside of the browser it gives me the option for the apps..Its odd why they have made it this way.
OK, I did misunderstand you. I see what you're saying now, and I think mine does exactly the same thing. Not sure if there's an option to change that default behavior or not.

Weird. Mine works exactly as it should. When I click on a YouTube link from the Dolphin browser (don't use the stock browser), a pop-up will ask me what I want to open it with and the YouTube app is one of the choices. Same thing with Maps. Maybe it's a browser setting in your tablet? What browser are you using? Or is the problem that you have a non-US tablet model (different stuff set up for international models)?
Yes it's a browser issue, I use stock. I've tried dolphin browser and it works fine with links to external apps.

I'm getting "not available in your country" even though I'm in the US and it's supposedly available through the Amazon app store. Anyways, if anyone could post the apk that would be great!
here for everyone
brilliant, thank you!!
Strange...I got a Epic 4G Touch and I can't see the app in mt Play Store and when I go to the online Play Store, I get the message that my device is unsupported.
However, I downloaded and installed the app with no issues from the Amazon Store.
Thats because they have disabled google play download for US customers for this app. US customers need to download from Amazon store.
Thanks WingnutStrikesBack for the apk. But it does not seem to install on my galaxy nexus. Anyone else have this issue?
Same Problem
I´m able to install it, but have force close issues everytime i try opening it it.

Thank you

awesome!
I installed the app, signed up for the service, etc. How do you link pages from your phone browser to it? As far as I can tell the only way is to copy the URL and paste it into Readability which seems like way to many steps. It doesn't even show up in the list of browsers in the "Open with" menu. You need to be able to share the page with the Readability app directly from the browser. It's actually faster to just save the page directly to your SD card to read later. If I'm wrong about steps to adding pages please correct me. This seems like it could be a really useful app but at the moment it needs a ton of work IMO.

u can use the integrated browser too. but it shoudve been showing on the share list as u said, that wouldve makde it a very practical app
Sent from my Red Streak using Tapatalk
I know you can use the integrated browser, but most of the things I would save are links I'd open from Twitter, etc. and since you cant choose it as Open With it's worthless. This app looks nice but that's it. It is very poorly executed.

Does anyone have the app for the updated version that was released yesterday? I believe it is version 1.0.1.
Hi,
Is it possible to program trigger with tasker or any other app to auto start an smart view connection when I read an NFC tag?
i've searched for this function but couldnt find it anywhere.
Thanks,
Did you get a solution for this. I am wanting to get this to trigger as well
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Hey guys, did you find a solution to trigger smart view?
No nothing.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Install an app called "Miracast Shortcut", then run the app in tasker.
This app is nothing more than a shortcut to open the system miracast menu. When the menu opens, it'll automatically start connecting. Well, I tested this on my Samsung device, I don't guarantee it will fulfill your needs for non-Samsung devices.

I'm not sure why you would need to disable It? Just set Chrome as To The default I think...

You can use package disabler pro to disable if you really want too

Only had the device several hours. I downloaded chrome and even my favorites list came with it. I deleted the Samsung internet app. For sure you can do the same. :good:

Lol I was literally just about to post that I figured it out when I used package disabler
No 3rd party app needed for me, I just went into app mgr, found the Sammy internet and cleared the default. Then was going to click a link hoping it would prompt me to choose Chrome, but when I went in app mgr to check Chrome settings, it was already default...
Why would you get rid of Samsung Internet?
You can use your fingerprint reader or the Iris Scanner (i think) to log in on websites and so on with it, which is a really nice feature. You can't do that with Google Chrome (correct me if i'm wrong on that).
Big Chrome user here but I honestly prefer the UI and the look of the samsung browser. Would definitely switch over to it if I had all my bookmarks and settings synced as easily as Chrome does.

I agree. Samsung browser is also a smoother experience.

Few Key differences between chrome and Samsung Browser.
Chrome : can easily sync your bookmarks, history across devices and is very convinient.
Samsung Broswer: History and bookmarks are synced under samsung email ( I really hate this and want to sync eith google) but fingerprint login to websites, ad blockers which works like a charm and video assistant which works grest on many anime sites is a big plus for me.
I use chrome on my work and personal laptops but samsung broswer on mobile.

Actually just tried this and it worked surprisingly smooth. I may just end up switching to the Samsung browser now to give it a try.

Google chrome autofill Passwords and that is cross platform if you login.

Just uninstall it. On my international version i am able to do it out of the box.
Thanks for the post Sammy Internet is crazy and glad it's gone, use package disabled. Look at this insanity using sammys 'smooth' brower, never had a ad in years, all rooted up and then this thing pops up using sammysnet!
App I used was called
'Service disabler' and it was free, disabled 48 foul things associated in Sammy net
