(App) Samsung ChatON service

Free messenger service from Samsung. Works on Android phones, Samsung Bada devices, and feature phones. Also devices on other mobile platforms as well like iOS and BlackBerry. Also web client to work from PC.
Check http://www.chaton.com/
Check video on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMPEm147BPo
Reported first on: http://samsungtomorrow.com/1567/
Official Samsung blog: http://translate.google.com/transla...amsung.com/index.jsp&sl=ko&tl=en&hl=&ie=UTF-8
Rumored to be launched in IFA Berlin.

It's kind of like WhatsApp, but what I really like about ChatON is the fact that you can access it from the web.
I'll sure take a look, when it comes out!

Hopefully this is good sounds fantastic. We need more competitors rolling out messaging services to rival and or make a better product close as BBM.

sounds great.

When will this be available for download??

Wanna give this a try, hope it's good and catches on.

Market or Samsung Apps! Search 'ChatON' in Samsung Apps, or search for 'Samsung ChatON' in the Market, be sure to +1 it!

I was really looking forward to use this app but it seems its not compatible with landscape oriented phones. I have the Samsung Galaxy pro and it appears that its not compatible. I don't know how they didn't make it compatible with my phone being that it has a hardware keyboard and its mainly use for messaging. I hope they solve this because its not going to be my phone only but the two new galaxy pros.
Edit: I installed with the apk and apparently it works in landscape also. All that is left is that the verification code arrives in my phone.

Codes !!!!!
All verification codes (10) I received SMS are wrong

APK in Zip file
Please note, the Zip is NOT flashable.
Market link is here too https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sec.chaton

Bizarre. I downloaded the ZIP and installed on my device, but the market link says it is not compatible with my device model. Um, it's installed and running. Now, I still have not gotten the verification code via sms, but it is installed and running. Way to go Samsung.
Edit: It actually says it cannot be installed in my country (I'm in Canada), yet when I opened it, it knew I was in Canada and set the country code properly.)

I installed it first time using samsung Apps (where the APK is from) and got the verification code instantly.
I've removed it and installed from the market (so I can get proper updates) and yeah.... no verification code
I say give it time, probably too many requests

Yeah, that's what I figured. It most likely is not available in my country right now as well because they are trying to "roll" it out over a few countries so there isn't so many requests for codes. Us "geeks" jumping the gun

i can't get the verification code but the app seems to be working on my nexus s without force closing. the market says my phone is incompatible

Followed your way, and my watcht connected after reset its firmware to my 6s plus.
I installed some watchfaces and i do get notifications. Great!

Thanks for this. I just bought this watch today and hoped to use it with my iPhone until I switch to android next month. This enabled me to do so!

Connect via bluetooth , but I could not connect via app gear s2 manager lite

Is this sideloaded iPhone app safe?
Also, can someone confirm this will connect to iPhone via 3G connection? I'm on Verizon.
Also, do the notifications work just as they do on Android, or are there limitations?

Having lots of problems trying to install watch faces, kept getting stuck at 100%, anyone else seeing this? Did a reset of the watch but didn't help.

Guys, i don't have this problems. Did anyone have solutions, please help this peoples.

I cannot confirm this. I did on the watch the initial factory reset and my 6s plus connected. Installing watchfaces works for me but is terrible slow. I comparrision to an Android connection, I can install only one at a time. On Android I could click more then one at a time. Have you tried another factory reset of the watch?
What I also cannot change is the language of the samsung page. It takes the country settings, not the phone default. That is funny if you live in Malaysia and do not speak well that language.

Limitation is, you cannot answer on the watch. Under Android, one can answer pre-defined answers, not under this app on the iphone.
On notation you will get every one you allowed on your phone. Which is more then I could get under Android.

I can install some watch faces but most failed. Those failed I've noticed they are over 2 MB while the smaller sizes seems to be ok. e.g. Text Face English ok but WatchAndromeda or Eleonor II not as it downloaded quickly, install stuck at "Install xxx 100%" and just remains for 10 mins without doing anything and I can't install another as it says install in progress, has to kill the app and retried but again stuck at 100%

Working great so far. The only feature that i am unable to use is to block notifications for specific apps. Can't add any app to that category. Did anybody had success there ?

Works great
The Gear S2 works with my iPhone and, in fact, does some things better than with the Galaxy S7.
I can't figure out how to load my music on the device so I could use some help there.
Thanks for the help.

TestFlight email just arrived. Better app than the previous one, leaked months ago, but still has lots of limitations. But it's a good first step

Have any of you tried the sleep monitoring ? I slept about 40 minutes , but nothing happened on the Gear .

That's new (for Gear S2 with iPhone) after a first quick view:
- S Health integration
- load pictures to Gear S2
both working fine :good:
Others same as the lite version. There might be more at a second view

I had the previous beta and firmware for pairing my Gear S2 and iPhone. It worked great. I signed up for Beta.. couldn't connect to my gear for some reason.. The app suggests updating the gear software via wifi on the gear. I did that and then reset to factory settings. Now my iPhone doesn't see the gear at all in bluetooth settings and I can't pair. Phone defaulted to french language when I reset to factory settings. I think that has to do with the leaked firmware provided in the tutorial for downgrading to get the gear to work with the previous beta..

I reverted to AOJ3. I don't know what the firmware version was after updating the watch initially earlier today. I decided to downgrade and reverted back to the previously leaked iOS Gear Manager app and firmware. Now I can see my gear and connect to my phone, but the gear app can't find it even though it's connected to the phone. It was working fine before. Tried factory resetting, but that didn't help. On top of that, now it won't update.. it says I have the latest updates, but that isn't true. I had more default apps.. Disappointing..

OK so I reverted to BOKK firmware and now I can connect to phone and gear lite app.. I think i'll stick with this until the app is officially released.

I have installed this new version. I'm desapointed. It is still impossible to use somme app.

Are there paid apps visible in the store?

Failed after first sync and first update
I received the mails fast (1/2 day after signing on to the korean side) and first remove the leaked version from the iphone 6s plus.
Then I installed Testflight and inside Testfligh the Beta version.
Gear S2 I did a Firmware reset ( I was on the latest Firmware), on the iphone I unpaired the old Bluetooth connection of the Gear and started both the Beta and the Gear. A fist pairing happened, the iphone installed an update, and after this it tried to reconnect to the phone. And that is where I stay no. The iphone does not show the gear in Bluetooth any more, the beta does not connect to the gear any more :crying:
So I took a Samsung Phone, installed the gearmanager to update the phone. No it comes realy wired. Gear and Samsung Phone see each other on Bluetooth, pairing, but when the gear manager wants to connect to the gear, this fails on the Samsung phone.
So I assume, the Beta installed something on the gear, that failed to work.
Any ideas? The only way I can think of now is to connect over Wifi with Odin and to downgrade to an older version of the gear software :crying:
_________________________________________________________________________
Update: Downgrade worked, watch is up and running again.
My mistake: On the korean webside I selected propably the wrong software and tried to sync my clasic with the fit - drivers
Since the Beta download is closed, I am back for now on the leaked app on my iphone an need to wait till the official app comes :crying:

S-voice appears on Galaxy Store

Hi,
If you open Galaxy App Store, you will see that yesterday, samsung has updated S-Voice.
Did you guys see it?
It may be a start for Bixby Voice?

I updated but it didn't help Bixby.

Same here.
Which means we with T-Mobile devices don't get to use voice commands to answer or reject calls. One of my favorite features has been left out! WTF?!

Really REALLY not happy here... I use S-Voice CONSTANTLY.... I have (or had) the ICON on my desktop front and center... for years. Seriously use it 4 or 5 times a day to directions, to make calls, to make appointments. WTF ????
However... and this is the wierd part... It WAS on the phone until the latest update. I bought the phone Saturday.... migrated with switch from my S5... USED S-Voice Saturday evening... noticed an update had been postponed... did the update.... then S-Voice was gone. Again... I repeat... WTF????

I may be dead wrong and talking out of my a** here, but isn't Bixby supposed to replace S voice?

I believe that is what Samsung intends to do.

No S-Voice on Galaxy S-8+ which affects Gear Neo smart watch
I noticed that when I went to reply to a text on my smart watch, a Gear S2 NEO, there was no option to voice text, in fact S-Voice is no longer there at all. I could not find in the Galaxy Store or Play Store. This is a very valued feature on the smart watches to answer your text messages vs templates or emoticons. Please let me know if there are any other options or please bring it back!

I went to the previous link and a message appeared saying I could not download. I went to apk mirror and found this
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/s-voice-2/s-voice-2-4-0-00-17-release/s-voice-4-0-00-17-android-apk-download/download/
I was able to download and install. After the install it said it had to update the voice service framework which it automatically downloaded and installed.

Question Answer Whatsapp calls

Hello,
My friend has a Galaxy watch 4 classic and can answer Whatsapp calls on his smartphone whereas I can't on my Galaxy watch 4.
Is it because his smartphone is a Samsung and my isn't, or am I missing a setting?

I have a Watch 4 and can't answer calls either. Not only that, even when I answer the call on my phone, it doesn't send the audio over to the watch
This is disappointing as even a $10 "smartwatch" can do this ... and my phone is also a Samsung =)
I tried using Javascript commands to route the audio from phone speaker to bluetooth, but my bluetooth connection between the phone and watch only shows the Call profile, not the Media profile
Any ideas or solutions to suggest?

Found another solution, a full fledged Whatsapp for our watches. A guy called Joao modded below Beta to work on watch 4/5. Installation of file via ADB to watch, started WA to welcome screen, set wm density to 75 via Wear Installer app, clicked WA on watch to next screen with a beta info, reset wm density, was able to scroll down to QR code and connect watch WA via Linked Devices function to WA on phone. Works perfectly, almost all functions. Remember when playing around with wm density make a watch backup first.

You should have absolutely no problems to answer phone calls on your watch even if it's just Bluetooth. Have you checked permissions?
Otherwise you should reset your watch and restart it. (just do a complete backup of your watch face, settings and apps on your Samsung account).

There were updates posted in a Telegram chat, but in order to evade expiring betas these are based on you might as well install and sideload the regular app now, found on Whatsapp website under Package Installer link (it is a multi APK with arm7 and arm8 included). Unlike the modded beta the app will be shown in square however, but fully functional, and not expiring.

Hello! do you happen to know where this guy Joao originally released this version you posted and its updates? It's a quite more convenient mod than the regular apk since you don't have to modify dpi in the watch to syncronise with your account. On top of that it was modded to be fully displayed in the watch screen, not like the other versions which are cropped with the rounded screen making elements not completely available. Also he introduced some mod to open the apk from native notifications in watch...
For some reasons it seems to have been discontinued and it is not release into telegram groups etc.
