Gear s3 apps not in app store.. - Samsung Gear S3

Certain apps like modality and apps widget are not showing up on the samsung app store... why is that? Are apps country specific and if so why? Why would samsung cut of parts of the world on basic apps like typing apps etc? Why not have one big store... also is there a way to bypass this restriction?

I have the same issue. As if the number of apps for Tizen aren't already limited enough, Samsung limits app availability/visibility for different parts of the world.

Yeah dont know what they get from doing such a thing....
Is there anyway to bypass this?
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk

yes. you can bypass it.... first.... connect through a VPN app to a node in the USA. second, pull out your simcard.. third, go into settings --> applications --> galaxy app store and erase all data...
then go into the Galaxy App Store and BOOM! you're in the US store... there you can even purchase stuff using you samsung account. make sure you install purchases on your watch while in the US store...
after you finish, disconnect the vpn and insert your simcard. your purchases will carry over, meaning, you won't loose them... if you need to reinstall them or purchase anything else, just repeat the process...
Enjoy!

Hi. I used the Tigr VPN app directly on my phone. Remember that you have to clear the Samsung Galaxy App Store DATA from the phone before doing all this so when it´s ran through the vpn you do it with no old data or cache on the phone.

Indycar Mobile APK for non verizon users?

as the tittle states im looking for the indycar mobile app, you can only find it on the market or have it texted to you but only if you have verizon. I do not so please help
bump... anyone?
Anyone with Verizon please help?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Sprint User - Sucessfully downloaded Indycar App from Market
If you have root, Install Market Enabler: This will allow you to temporarily set your phone to appear as a Verizon phone and download the Indycar App. Just did it and it works.
Description of Market Enabler:
"A SIM Tool application to change the SIM issuer code in the running system (not permanent, will be original after reboot or flight mode)
This application is ad supported, please see my other applications to get a donate key that will remove the ads ;-)
Precondition to use this tool is
- Rooted phone
- su app
- busybox"
Works for download the app but after the app seeks for Verizon network to authenticate.
Yeah, I've got a rooted Cliq that I downloaded the IndyCar App with, but it needs a Verizon data connection to enable the app. I think this is probably a similar check as my girlfriends Evo3D's NASCAR app, which needed a Sprint connection.
1. Any way to fool the app into authenticating?
2. Any way to transfer an authenticated app?
Perhaps someone with a verizon connection could create a backup after it authenticates the first time so that others can restore?
Would that work?

I did this by downloading and running the app on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus, then copying the backup to my Transformer Prime (non-Verizon). It bypassed the check, but alerted me that I was running a non-supported device and closed. I looks like not only does it do a network check, but also a device compatibility check. So no-go for me.

Hmm, that stinks. I 'downloaded' the app on my Dad's iPhone. It looks like it was just a web page that added an icon to his home screen. It was originally open in safari, and in the menu, there was an option to add the page to the homescreen. After that it seemed to work like a normal app. On the iPhone, it seems like it was just a link to a webpage.
I wonder how hard it'd be to decompile this thing and take out these checks?
Also, if you want to stream IMS radio from the webpage on an android, it looks like you need to set your useragent to the desktop. The streaming audio didn't work on racecontrol.indycar.com until I did that. I used Dolphin to change the user agent.
I would like to run it on my Galaxy nexus.
Zulucap - any chance you can share your backed-up app with me?
I have a backed up indycar mobile apk that installs gets threw the network check but fails because my device is not supported. If anyone has the knowledge to figure this out I would make it worth their while. Let me know and I can send the back up files.

if you have root change the name in the build.prop. use adb or ROM toolbox pro app, there is a setting called build.prop editor. pm me if it works. i would do this with netflix app back in the day. you have the find the name of the phone the backup came from, and change yours to that. ---this is how devs change the device name when you see a crazy ass phone name ex DARKSIDE Galaxy it is cap sensitive. ex. to get netflix on my nexus i would change Samsung to samsung. hope this helps
Did anyone ever get this to work? Would be nice for the 500!

It's easy enough to get it installed on a non-Verizon phone, but when you open the app, it still complains about not being on a Verizon network. I'm wondering if the initial load has to happen over a Verizon IP connection to "verify" the app. If that's the case, I wonder if you could launch it with a data connection shared via a Verizon hotspot? I guess if it can force the initial connection via the cell radio, this wouldn't work.
To install it on a non-Verizon device, you can go to the webpage play store and push it to your device.

I've asked the mods to move that to general as it's not phone specific. I've also added a method of doing it from the address bar, so you don't have to either use Chrome or figure out how to do the same in your browser of choice.
Is My IP blocked by google? Playstore works fine on GPRS but when I try to download applications throug Wifi on note it shows server error. When i click download, it say country not supported. It lets me download through GPRS. Can anyone pls help?

Yes, just long press on the provider you would fake, choose your option,
Then, kill market (with taskkiller or long press back button or press 1 000 000 times the back button til the home screan appears) then open market again and now your specific privider is faked!

Thanks for this. Ive been wondering why all the market enablers disappeared.
cant get to work
ive tried it and all i get is t-mobile stuff still. I'm running arhd 2.2.1 which is based on the leaked ics build i believe. I've changed it through the app to different providers and it doesn't do much.
this app looks almost exactly like this one: Market Enabler. From what I saw, the only difference was the icon. It has the exact same markets to choose from.
This is their webpage: Market Enabler webpage. It's minimal, and pretty bare bones.
Other useful information:
Wiki Mobile Network Codes. This gives a list of codes for carriers world wide which can be used in the "set custom"
If this is the same app, then key information to know:
Market Enabler said:
Do I need to donate to get this working?
No, definitly not.
A donate is an appriciation to the developer/s but it's not the same as buying a software.
In case of MarketEnabler, a donate will get you a donate key that removes ads from the application and adds some beta functions that are still in testing.
I donated trough PayPal but haven't received the donate key
Please look into your SPAM folder as it is an automated script that sends you the key.
If you don't get an answer after 24 hours, please email me at [email protected].
I only get "we have a problem houston "
Are you sure that you have a working su binary and busybox (or at least the killall command) installed and granted root rights to MarketEnabler when it got requested?
Preconditions
#1 root
To be able to change the systems runtime configuration (what MarketEnabler does) you will need access as a root user to the system.
MarketEnabler expects that you will have a file called "su" on your system (and in the global path) that will open a root shell.
#2 busybox
The commands that are used, are not always part of the Android system.
Most rooted phones have busybox on board as it's common to install it during the rooting process or included in most custom roms.
If you don't have busybox, I recommend using the busybox installer from stericson on the market.

Make sure you kill Google Play Store from "Manage Apps > All" first.
Alternatively, you can do it manually:
1. Kill Google Play Store from "Manage Apps > All".
2. Go to MarketEnabler, under "Set custom" tab, input that specific country market code you wanted to visit.
3. Select "Set to this values".
4. Go to Google Play Store.
5. Enjoy!
or try this another MarketEnabler (previously MarketEnabler Codes) app: https://plus.google.com/110853353138524936530/posts

From what I've seen all it can do is track the phone and show it on a map, wipe and trigger the phone to make a noise in order to find it, Cerberus can do both of those plus like 10+ more so i would rather pay like 2 euros for a lifetime license

I already have activated the app. All is ok: in the account and also in my phone (green icon, google settings). My problem was that I believed that this ADM app was going to be like AVAST (with rooted phones, that do not need to turn on manually the GPS settings).
With this google ADM app must be always activated the GPS in a permanently manner.
We need to have always present that GPS doesn't use any data. It uses the 31 GPS satellites to determine the phone's position only, which is not a "data" connection at all. What uses the data is the app that is using the GPS (in this case the ADM).
Thank you very much for your help. This forum is wonderful, every day we learn many things. Nobody knows everything.
