Thanks for this announcement, but I don't see Frigidaire as a selectable brand

It would be nice if you can 'create' your own remote model and then 'learn' the IR right from the original remote. Just need to wait for more apps to be developed.

I use a 3rd party app for my remote control on my Note 3, but having the remote just on my wrist is super handy. For my wrist, all I need it to do is power my projector on/off, switch sources on my receiver, and control my XBMC and other media playback on my HTPC.

I'd like the option to add multiple TV's instead of just one. This is on my wish list of things to tinker with if I can get the dang SDK to function.

A menu button is desperately needed as well. You can't check sky channels properly with only channel up and down.

Anybody can upload installable file(may be .wgt) for this WatchON app?
People like us with non-samsung phones don't have Samsung Apps and cannot update or install new apps.
Thanks.

Agree, gear2 with nexus4 here.

Yes please! upload whatever you guys can because we non sammie phone users dont have access to samsung apps so we cant download the apps
If anyone knows how to get samsung apps apk to work on non samsung phones, let us know!
I got as far as to install the apk and have it show as a tab in gear manager but no luck beyond that
Edit: changing brand and manufacturer to Samsung and model to GT-I9500 in build.prop lets me open samsung apps and download them to my gear!!! woohoo!

Wont work with either my vizo or shar big screens. Does work with directv but need tv

I went to Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps
I cant find WatchON there

Same problem here! I run stock ROM on GT-I9300 and there is no WatchON in Samsung Apps (launched from Gear Manager or app drawer, doesn't matter) or Play Store (didn't expect to find it here, but I looked anyways). Force checking for updates shows nothing.
Is there a way to download the new APK? Or should I just be patient?
EDIT 20140507:
I got it today! I just had to be a bit patient. Apparently new updates aren't rolled out for everyone at the same time.

It can be found in Utilities in Samsung Apps in the Gear Manager.
Today a new update is available, v1.2.4:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

WTF? The update just adds the ability to control air conditioners?
How about the ability to add my surround sound receiver already? The only thing I can do with this is turn on/off my projector. I'd like to be able to at least control volume and switch sources. Smartwatches are usually purchased by early adopters that have a little more sophisticated setups - which means we have home theaters with separate receivers that need controlling not just the TV and STB.

who has the previous version ? In de previous version My airco was listed (fujitsu). It worked perfectly ! In the version 1.2.4 it isn't listed anymore ! Can somebody send me a link where ik can find it !

Good day! Tell me, what sets the APK on the phone when you upgrade WatchON? I can not update the version on the clock ... In Gear Manager instead of [Update] - select [Open]

I bought the Pik2usa version and it does not work as advertised. When I tap once for pic it shows the pix but cannot get back to clock in 5 secs and when it finally goes back to the clock, the clock is frozen. No second hand movement at all. I had to go to watchface and choose another clock

Hi bonniedarby,
We are very sorry about that. We experienced a weird problem with the Gear S2 and Pik2TimeUSA watchface. Several users complained by Christmas and we had a week investigating the problem and testing the app again. The problem was solved and we created an improved version 1.0.1.
We hope on Monday or Thursday the new version of Pik2Time-USA will be available in the Samsung Gear Apps store. I will update this post when Samsung notifies me about it.
Thanks a lot for your feedback and please if you have any problem in the future or any problem with any of our apps send us an email. We are supporting our apps 24x7 to better satisfy our customers.

Did you try to pair the gear with new firmware with iphone? It's working?

Just got this update on my s2 classic.

It's just temporary. In a couple of months it'll be "Samsung's abandoned the Gear S2 - no updates since February."
This is my third Gear. Samsung gets the os and s/w stable and then leaves it there. That includes Samsung provided apps that run on the watch. It's rare that third parties update their apps too. When the Gear S3 comes out it'll have features the Gear S2 doesn't and that won't be pushed down. That's just the way it is. If people don't like that approach they shouldn't buy a Gear. *****ing to fellow owners who can't change that via this forum is just futile.

Just upgraded my Classic. Nice that they added a notification when the watch is disconnected but I like the functionality of Brrr (under Utilities in the app store, be sure you add the widget to your list otherwise it won't work) better: the vibration is stronger and there is a vibration when the watch reconnects as well.
Everything else is great, the unread notification colored dot is especially welcome.

Just got the update here in TN for my Gear S2 Classic!

Just got the update here in NC for my Gear S2 Classic!

Display Timeout
I just got the update in KS for Sport edition - went through and set watch to 5 minute display timeout. Turned watch off and back on to reboot and it still only stays on for 7 seconds when I bring it up to look at. Frustrating!!
Update - if I press the home/back button while bringing up to look at, it will stay on. HOWEVER, as soon as I rest my arm, the display goes off. Not at all what I was hoping for. I want it to stay on for 5 minutes even if I look away no matter what!!

How do I check for the update? I have a S2 3G with a nexus 6. Is it just in the gear manager?
---edit---
ignore or delete this post, I found it.

Anyone getting a hoover over remote control looking app on their phones since the update? I updated this am and this app keeps popping up on restart. Sorry no way to send pictures right nowl.

It's probably peel smart remote. Open up the app then go into setting and turn off the notification or whatever it's called.

I am finding that the little dot that shows that there is an unacknowledged alert is only working for some notifications. For instance, it is not working for Textra or Business Calendar. Anybody else seeing this behavior?
Fred

Another finding - I have Display Timeout set to 5 minutes, Gestures turned OFF and Always on set to ON. What I am finding is that if I move the watch to look at it (gesture), it comes on and will stay on for 5 minutes then turn off. Although completely bass akwards of what I would have thought, it is doing close to what I want. I am open to hearing what others are seeing. Thanks.
Update: This was noticed, while NOT on my wrist, had it sitting on a desk and would see it go off after 5 minutes but could get it going again by shaking. On my wrist, it is hard to tell, as I'm moving around to much.

And yet... Here you are!

White Light - the simplest "flashlight" app (free)

The app turns the screen white, cranks up the brightness to 100%, and keeps it this way until the user presses the back or home button. The display of the Gear S2 can actually get pretty bright, producing enough light to see everything in a 4 x 4 meter room. Here is the source code:
Code:
<html><body style="background-color: #ffffff;">
<script>
tizen.power.request("SCREEN", "SCREEN_NORMAL"); // won't work properly without this line
tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(1);
setInterval(function(){tizen.power.request("SCREEN", "SCREEN_NORMAL");}, 10000);
window.addEventListener('tizenhwkey', function(){tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();});
</script>
</body>

Off topic:
This is my most popular app by far (2,610 downloads since Mar 29, 2016). Surprisingly, only 7 people rated the app. I was wondering why I don't see the comments on the app store page, and it turned out they only show comments that were posted by users who live in the same country (I live in Canada and no one from Canada rated the app, hence no rating). That's why if you live anywhere but USA and Germany most apps in the app store will have no rating, which is stupid :silly:

install hangs
hi - I've tried to install your app on my gear s2 classic but it hangs at the 100% mark. I know some installs can take a bit of time - the longest I waited was 10 minutes though which I think should be sufficient? Can you lend any advice to what the issue might be? thanks! :fingers-crossed:

I would factory reset the watch (there is a quick reset option), because the problem is not in the app/apps. 7000 people installed the app so far and no one complained.
If you are not installing from the app store, make sure you have this line in the config.xml:
Code:
<tizen:privilege name="http://tizen.org/privilege/power"/>

Finally a flashlight app that stays on if you move your arm. (auto wake). love it, will rate you. #Belgium

Great app, thanks a lot for sharing
I have just one little issue with it: leaving the app will not reset screen brightness to the original value

Thank you! The next update (coming some time next week) will fix this issue

The update has been submitted to the app store and is awaiting approval (usually 2 days). Here is the updated code:

tizen.power.request('SCREEN', 'SCREEN_NORMAL');
originalBrightness = tizen.power.getScreenBrightness();
function terminate(){tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(originalBrightness); tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();}
tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(1);
setInterval(function(){tizen.power.request('SCREEN', 'SCREEN_NORMAL');tizen.power.setScreenBrightness(1);}, 10000);

How to find in app store
Hi
Sounds like a useful app. I search for "white light" in apps store but only find one for phones.
How can I find the app for the s3 gear?
On the watch I found an app called torch. Is that it?

Hi Eveman,
I have not released a version for smartphones, so the apps you found must have been developed by someone else.
If searching under GEAR tab in Samsung Galaxy Apps store brings no results, I can only suggest trying it again in a few days. Once I tried searching for my Always-On apps and it brought no results, tried again later - and it worked.
Please let me know if that helped.

I have the app, thanks works great. Do you know the shortcut I would use in GWD to make it a button (like com.samsung.weather is for weather)?

Hi andrewtac, thank you very much for your feedback! Try this and let me know how it works: 55V5m8QGTw.WhiteLight

Thanks, worked! New to the watch, love it. Especially showing it off to my apple buddies.

I cannot find this app in the Play store for Android anywhere. Can you put a link up so I can use this flashlight app. I love this app and my new pixel 7 pro didn't copy it. I'd like to have this app on my phone because it works and that's all it needs to do. Pixel 7 pro and everything thereafter is going to be 64-bit architecture, so update it to that and please put a link here so we can get the thing.

You must be confusing it with some other app, because this app was developed only for smartwatches running Tizen OS (that is, Samsung watches released before 2021). I might develop a Wear OS version of the app some time in the future, though there is already a built-in "flashlight" app that works pretty well.

Gear S3 screen problem

Hello experts;
I've got a gear S3, it was working fine since the day,I notice the screen is off, but the watch was connected to the phone via Bluetooth and I can gear sounds off notifications in the watch.
The touch screen was responding as well as the bezel. I turned the watch on and off several times until the screen come back, but it start first from pixel to white screen.
It was looking like an old TV with some pixels like noise. And finally stabilize to normal.
I've found some threads like that but none have solutions or details why this is happening. Only due to watchmaster, application that I don't have
Does anyone got solution or idea about that problem?
FYI I have the latest Tizen 2.3.2.1 APK6
Regards

Static on screen is caused by watchmaster, even if you don't have watchmaster app itself, some of the popular watch faces in store (Detector by Liongate or Timeless by Pluto etc.) actually comes with their own watchmaster embedded. Try with a stock watchface.

Call Samsung and speak with them. "Usually" they can tell if it is still under warranty and will fix it. It doesn't matter where you bought it. ymmv
It doesn't hurt to try.

Have you done a factory reset?
If the screen is unresponsive, this is done by holding done the Home button until it says "Rebooting" then tapping the button continuously until the boot up menu appears, then tapping it down to the "Reset" option.

any idea whats causing this using it since 3 months i had a normal stock watch face but i recently turned brightness to 10 and turned on always on display for about 4 hours before this happened rebooting and even factory resetting doesn't solve it has been 2 days
