If Sony are saying something is available and it's not available that sounds like something which your country's consumer protection regulations are there to handle.
Try downloading the .apk and sideload it and see if it works, if its blocked server side then its a no go.

What is your country, anyway? If I was a gambling man I'd guess Jordan, which literally today was added to the countries supported by Google Play, so try again!

Have you tried downloading and installing apk? You have link for remote play apk here http://www.gizmobolt.com/2014/09/13...-remote-play-port-android-4-0-xperia-devices/
You need step 2 only.

You can do it by these simple steps
1-download and activate a vpn from the play store
2- uninstall all updates for Google play store through Settings > apps > downloaded > Google play store.
3- enter playstation app go to the ps4 remote play and it will send you to the app where you can install it
It took me 5 mins untill download started I think it has to do with the vpn you use.
I managed to purchase some watch faces that were previously not available to non Samsung devices. Have Samsung note allowed those with non Samsung phones to buy apps?
I had to register a credit card with them, but it was easy.
Using lion gate watch face at the moment, was £0.98
Seems like a good news for non-Samsung users Which phone are you using?
Seeing paid apps in the gear app store on my LG V10 and have access to prevously bought stuff as well.
Edit: Tested purchasing as well and worked fine.

Were you able to able to register your credit card on Gear App itself or did you have to do it somewhere else online?
I have it paired with a Huawei Mate 7 and can only see free apps with no apparent option to add any credit card details.
Thanks.

I managed to register with the Samsung gear app store via the app. Didn't have to register anywhere else.
I had to do it on my computer. I kept getting error messages on the phone.
In my case it never asks for a credit card. I have even tried creating a new account on a PC. It must be geo locked or something of the sort.

Can you download the gear manager in playstore? In my case it started working with payed apps as i could download the gear manager from playstore. As long i used the app offered here in forum i only got free apps.
Sadly there are still free apps i can't see in store, like ntv, kommot or golfcard.

Hi Javan, I always downloaded the gear manager app from the play store. In the meantime I finally got a reply from Samsung and they basically said that paid apps are not supported in my country (Malta).
My problem is that I don't know at which stage this "country check" takes place.
1) Is it when I am creating the Samsung account? In this case I would be able to use a VPN workaround when creating a new account.
2) Is it when I download the Samsung gear app from the Play store? In this case I will need to root my phone and use a market unlocker.
3) Is it when I am accessing the Tizen store? In this case I have no idea ... it would be too cumbersome to workaround this [emoji22]
One way or another there has to be a workaround, I just want to avoid rooting the phone as much as possible.
If anyone has any ideas or managed to access paid apps in the store from a non-supported country, I would be forever grateful if you can share your solution.

Hi guys.
1 week with a gear sport paired with asus zenfone 3 and I can't access any paid apps from Gear app... Just free apps showing to me.
Tried everything, reset, another phone (Nexus 5) and nothing.
Paid apps just show to Samsung phones?
The country that I'm in (Japan) does not have navigator (here maps) available in the galaxy store.
Would someone please post a link or provide the gear s2 app so I can install on the watch to use here maps ??
Thanks

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!)
Guardian News
My Notes in Gear (excellent notes and To-Do List that syncs with your phone)

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.

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.
Have not had the Gear S3 long but already I get the impression that the watch face choice is maybe not as wide? at least in terms of official replica ones. I am guessing that copyright issues mean that a lot of very nice faces were either removed from the gear store or never made it there in the first place?
I did find the watchland app but I cannot install the gear companion app in the UK (just says not available in my region) From browsing the phone app though there are some nice faces on there and it got me thinking that surely there must be an unofficial repo somewhere of .gwd files? ones that have been removed or did not make the official stores.
Any ideas?

new to this and trying to get watchland and install it where did you get it from
Fingers crossed...
Could not get watchland installed on the S3.
There are lot of nice looking faces in the watchland phone app, would be good if they could be accessed elsewhere.

I have Watchland installed on my S3 just fine. You have to load the companion app from the Samsung app store and then change the face widget and then load. It's kinda cool because I use it to sideload the faces I make with Gear Watch Designer. I also use Mr. Time Maker. It has an online design tool which is a little limited but it has a big repo of designs made by the community. None of the design apps I have used are very powerful but not bad for basic designs.
I tried this app but fails when trying to install the watch app by saying not available to purchase or not available to this location?

With the watchland app, it will download the .gwd files to your phone. Just open those files with Samsung's watch designer and send them to your watch. Nice thing is you can change up the design a bit if you want.
Great idea Any idea where the files are stored on the phone?? - Ignore this - they are under "watches" in the download folder

You can download the S2 version from their facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/DaragonTech/, it should work for with the S3 if you manage to install it.

Probably need to sign the .wgt file with your certificate which holds your Device Unique ID (DUID).
