Gear app not in app store? - Samsung Gear S3

I have to rooted Nexus 6p running 7.1.2. still, but can't find the gear app in the play store? Is it because I'm rooted? I had to manual download the apks to get the phon and watch paired.
Side note, gear sport will be coming out next month. So I'm tempi tempted to try that if my test week with S3 goes well.

My phone is also rooted, but I can see the app in PlayStore. So it's not the reason.

Then what would be the reason? I have a Nexus 6p, which meets the requirements according to Samsung's site.

Try this:

Any clue where to fix to make visible App and Plugin on Custom ROMs? Maybe build.prop
I use Resurrection Rom on Nubia z11. App and Plugin not available to download in market. I have to manually download apks to phone and install.

Quickflix APK

If you have come across this thread I am sure you will know what Quickflix is. Now you would probably also know that the Android app is only available on the Samsung App store (so that's ONLY on Samsung devices). Fortunately, my mother bought a Note 10.1 and I downloaded the .apk, ripped it and then popped it into Dropbox and installed it on my Nexus 10. Works like a charm. Not sure how this would work on devices with different form factors but it wont hurt to try.
Below is the APK. Enjoy.
Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qucbwmslbzen9p4/com.quickflix.library.apk

Please post below your experience with it on your Device and I'll try keep a list of working devices.
NOTE: Quickflix is a PAID service. It costs $15 a month, excluding new releases.
Working Devices:
All Samsung Devices (download on Samsung App store)
Nexus 10
Its a subscription service though right?

Yeah but you can get a 14 day trial to start with, and if you buy a qualifying Samsung device you get 3 months free.
quickflix app
Thanks for the great work, I've been hastling Quickflix to release and app for all Android devices. I can confirm that it runs on both the Asus TF300 and Nexus 7 running stock firmware and jellybean. The only thing I could fault is the volume is low on the TF300. If you have the fix for this it would be amazing.
Keep up the great work
Works on my non-rooted G7.
Successfully installed it on my Rooted Acro S, but when I tried to play a video, the app checks for root and comes up with a message "Videos will not play on rooted devices"
((
If you go here you get a free 2 months.

I use Root Cloak and that works for a lot of things but this isn't one of them.
Does anyone know what Quickflix actually looks for? That way we can block it in RootCloak and it will work.
And BTW, its $10 a month for streaming only

Have you tried the hiddenroot apk? There is a module for this too on xposed framework.Give it a try! Good look!:fingers-crossed:
Thanks all, but apparently QuickFlix just released a new version of the software that now works on everything! I have been using it for the last 4 days and it is great! No more need to hide the root and it is a legit app off the Play Store!
Thanks for the suggestions anyway

I got it from Google play. It is version 3.1.3, which actually also supports Chromecast now. I am streaming to my TV and I love it!

New update apps not installing

So with the latest firmware and fear manager update I can no longer install apps like toggles gear and watch styler like I'll down load them and able to open them on my note 3 . But won't work on gear 2 . Any one else experiencing same issue ?

I am having the same problem since I originally bought my gear 2 neo. I have searched high and low with no solution to be found. I suppose its just a matter of waiting on more support for tizen or a good working port of android or wear. Till then its at least usable.

Apps not showing in Samsung Apps

I have a Gear 2 running on a Galaxy K Zoom in Texas. However most of the apps mentioned here don't shop up for me in Samsung Apps through Gear Manager. Is the Samsung App Store region/carrier/device specific? Can't find Paypal, Gear Navigator, etc. Anyone know how I can get the apps to show up?

Here the same. Before ugrading to Tizen I had Eevernote, Glympse and MyMyRide on my Gear1. All gone now and not showing up in the store in Gear Manager. I think I didn't upgrade, but downgrade to Tizen :crying:
No problem

I have a good news for you , downgrade from tizen to Android is possible and very easy, it's toturial ( how to )
If after downgrade your touch screen isn't working, don't panic You must flash evrything again and evrything works perfect, i too update, to tizen and back to android.

any solution or idea ?!?
Think it might be device specific. I have a note 2 with gear 2 Neo and no Golf Navi, gear navigator, etc. Decided to reset and pair neo to my work phone (galaxy S4) and they showed up. Tried downloading application to S4 then backed up apk and loaded on note 2. Application installed on phone OK but failed to install in gear manager. Not sure if this applies to all scenarios but this was my experience.

I am a developer and I have published Gear apps
Developer can choose group of devices and can also select regions and countries
I do select always all devices and all countries.
If the developer decide to select some devices and only one country, the the app will be published to the selected devices and to that country only
Why? I don't know!!
If you can't see my apps, then the problem is in your side
check "My Gear Apps" topic
Actually can see your apps in gear manager Lux and Thank you for your work on them. Looks like some GPS based apps (at least in my case) are being excluded from the Note 2 running 4.4.2

The previous version of my app (Multi-Watch) was compatible with 89 devices.
The current version only 55....
I didn't change or add any permissions.
Its a complete mystery to me.

this is what the developer console of the app store shows to me now:
<see attached screenshot>
I tried asking them what is the reason for it, but got referred to a standard app publishing paragraph..... as usual.
In total I have asked them 13 questions now, never got a real straight forward answer on my questions.
I wish there was a way to call them and speak with them on the phone.

hi could you please post the model number i should use in the build prop please

It is a filter problem caused by the Samsung app store. Currently, they filter the devices manually like so: Gear 2 + Galaxy S5, Gear 2 + S4... and so on, which I think is kinda dumb. My apps on there are filtered for 55 combinations. I'm sure they are missing a lot!

Is there an app freeze?

Since the new version of the app store earlier this week I haven't seen a single new app available. anybody know if there's a freeze on while Samsung check the new store works properly? There was a steady stream of new apps before.

As a developer I have noticed that previous versions of my apps were compatible with much more devices(89) then the latest one does (57)
Maybe new releases of apps are at first available for a limited number of devices and and Samsung is certifying them in the background for more devices.
with devices I mean phone/gear combinations.
Please check now as loads of apps have joined.. well as the saying goes .. lull before a storm of apps
Haha, no sooner did I say anything...
There's a couple of task list apps too , just what I wanted

Google Fit on Galaxy S5?

I recently bought a Galaxy Gear Live and was excited to use it with S health on my Galaxy S5. Turns out, though samsung claimed they would update their software to be compatible with their watch, it still isnt. Not a problem, though. I thought i would still use the google fit app, as its an android wear device. Turns out my phone isnt even compatible with the google app?? Im not sure what to do as both company apps are not supported. Any ideas?

Just because it says it's incompatible doesn't mean it won't still work on your device. You could download the apk and attempt to install, worse case scenario is it won't work

Tried that now, it seems to glitch my phone and freezes it. Also, i just found out other S5's ARE compatible.

That's very odd. Normally Sprint phones are pretty flexible with most apps. Is your S5 on kk or LP?
