I have the wifi version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I found an apk for the Google Videos app, as it is not yet available in the market for this tablet. This apk installs and runs "normally" on my HTC G2. The app will install on the Galaxy 10.1 but force quits whenever I try to run it. I read in another topic here that the LTE version of this tablet comes with the Google Videos app, so I am assuming it works there. Has anyone gotten the Google Videos app to work on the Wifi version of this tablet?
My guess is the model number is not setup in the Android Market. As you will notice we have the "Books" app and can see and search on books in the Android Market. Your Movies app is probably force closing because when it tries to load the initial screen, the Android market cant match the device model the tablet app sends. It sends this to retrieve content compatible with the app and device.

Thanks for the file. I must have had an old sol. The file sizes were different, but the one I first got works on my G2. All set now thanks
So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

You can "fix" market links with it by long pressing on the app in question.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

Yeahp. It works.
I deleted some yesterday on my mobile, but they were still on my web "Other apps in my library".
Today, I deleted some again and reloaded the webpage. They disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
Ok, maybe it needs some time to sync. Great it works!

I have this issue as well--phone app has no provision for deleting the apps, on JB ROM.
Can anyone tell me how I can find a list of all the apps available on the Gear S? There's a few I would be very interesting in installing and without a Samsung phone cannot access Gear Manager. Would the watch run a fitness app Strava? Or Facebook?

There are estimated to be a thousand Tizen apps, and as the store grows obviously that will increase a fair amount. So a list is not really going to be do-able. There are a number of fitness apps (not familiar with Strava) There is no facebook app as yet, but you can get relayed notifications from your phone.
Although the watch can function away from your phone, it's still tethered over Samsung's servers. So you will still need a Samsung Galaxy phone to be able to use it and also to install apps.
Is there anywhere that I can search for the apps. Obviously hard to do with out gear manager. If anyone has a gear manager linked then could anyone tell me if you can install Strava onto the watch?
Yes, there is Strava Running and Cycling in Samsung app store. It works on Gear S but require Strava app installed on phone. This is not standalone app for Gear S.
There is no Facebook app for Gear S. You can only recieve FB notifications from phone.
Thanks for that, much appreciated. Getting access the the samsung apps store is okay without a samsung phone but trying to find out which apps translate onto the watch has been virtually impossible. Samsung support has been terrible for this.
whatsapp for Tizen Gear S ?
available?
Thousands of apps?
I just got my Gear S yesterday and while it seems a definite improvement over the original Gear watch I'm still waiting for there to be more a variety of apps on Samsung's app store. It seems like there are a ton of apps that
are duplicates in functionality. I'm sure more apps are on the way for the Gear S. Can't wait to see what all this watch will be able to do once the right developers get involved.
I heard it was going to be very easy for devs to port Android apps To tizen. if that's true we should see a lot of good apps down the road.

I'm curious to what apps you're particularly looking out for? I only ask the question as I was wondering the other day when I was reading a post about the lack of apps on tizen and at first I agreed then I thought some more and really couldn't think of anything I wanted part from full reply to notifications which I already kind of have with notifications for gear s.

Missing apps.
It's not that anything is missing from the store. I guess I'm thinking there could be a lot more that the watch could do. I was thinking apps more around the remote sensor api. Maybe an app to control a thermostat or lights. Maybe one to control the IR on the Note for people like me too lazy to pick the phone up or the remote up to change the TV channel. Honestly if I had any good ideas I would write the apps myself and make a buck. I'm just thinking we could have some more imaginative apps in the market place for this device. Also I would like to have a torrent down loader or a way to view my jobs in utorrent or atorrent from the watch. I'm not complaining though. Like I said the S has been a definite improvement over previous gear watches.

Strava running and cycling the app is an orange color
There aren't thousands of apps for the Gear S. Not even close. If I were to make a guess there is between 150 and 200 apps for the Gear S and many are total garbage.

That would great but I have yet to find it. From what I've researched Strava doesn't work with Tizen anymore. Stopped in the Spring.
You can use facebook , twitter easily with opera mini browser

You have to go to Samsung gear s store and search for opera mini web browser and install it then set it up and on your gear s apps open opera mini and enter any long you want.
Enjoy

Might want to try wearable widgets in the google play store. It allows you to see and control widgets from your watch. So if you can have a widget on your phone that does the stuff you are talking about then you can access it from your watch with the same functionality.
Has anyone tried the new gear s instagram app on the appstore. It's a new paid app for £0.69 so very reasonable but was just wondering what it was like. Cheers

You're using the wrong tool set. This watch is not android, it's tizen.
1) You don't install APKs on the watch, you install .wgt files or you install APKs on your phone and then if it's a combo app it installs the .wgt
2) to install wgts manually on the watch you need the Tizen SDK and IDE. This will come with an "sdb" tool.

They are generally combo apps. The android app on the phone is and apk which installs a wgt file to the watch. But everything that run on the watch is a tizen wgt.
i dont really get it, as i checked some post about gear 2..also can install some apps on the watch thru adb directly, so i thought gear s which is similar...
if so, could u pls tell me how to install like whatsapp, facebook on the gear s, not just display the notification. its because the watch itself can be stand alone without phone, but if not connect with bluetooth, no other function, except phone call or sms....a bit useless!
thanks.

you can't install those apps, they are android apps. There are no app for those for the gear s. Any post you saw saying you could install APK(or any android app) on the Gear 2 was lying. You can install some app on the original Gear because it was android, but the Gear 2 and gear S are both Tizen.
you can "sdb" certain wgt files to you watch manually, but that's extremely limited because most wgt files need to be signed and authorized by Samsung, which means they have accompanying android apps to go with them.
Anyway basically you are limited to what is in the Gear App Store, unless you start writing your own.
If you need to run android apps on a phone, then about your only options are the Original Gear(Make sure you get one not updated to Tizen), or the Sony SmartWatch 2
thanks...
then is there any tutorial how to make the apk to wgt, and how to install on gear s???

The same post you've been reading for gear 2 apply to Gear S most apps are not optimized for gear S but it's the same concept Tizen is tizen adb out sdb inapk no wgt yes

You Can't. Think it like asking how to run a windows app on your android phone. The two can talk together, but they are COMPLETELY different application technologies. An Android App can communicate with a Tizen app, but you can not run or convert Android apps to run on Tizen. The application needs to be written specifically for Tizen.
The only apps you can install on the watch alone are .tpk

I haven't paid that much attention to root on the gear 2, but I don't think that having root has enabled installation of tizen native apps. My guess is the support frameworks and services are not there.
is possible somewhere download wgt files, that non samsung users can install them on watch?
moste of Samsung apps are paid. how can I download it for free

Hi Guys I just bought a second hand Gear S. When I got it, it had a load of programs on it, including Whatsapp Facebook Gmail Cerberus etc..
As agreed with the seller I reset the phone to factory default, and now I cant get any of these icons or programs back on. I read your posts with interest, especially the one that says it can't be done. Has anyone worked out how to do it yet?
any help would be gratefully received.
Thank you for taking the time to read this

I have been using a password manager program called Safe+ for years. I like the app because it has no access to internet, and I just manually export the data file and import when switching phones. Today I was switching from my old Note to the S22 Ultra, long story short, the app is no longer on the Play Store. I have years worth of data. I really don't want to go down the road of manually switching to another password manager.
Is there any way to manually move the app from my old phone to my s22 ultra? Or, is there a site that has old copies of android apps that might have this app on there? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck in limbo right now. Thanks!

The only thing I can find on Google is a Safe+ app for iPhone & iOS. Same thing for alternate app stores.
Edit: I found this app extractor article if it helps. It's available on the Playstore.

Thank you for showing me this article! I was lucky enough, that after using smart switch, the app appeared on my new phone ( it took a while for apps to actually make their way to my phone, I had a lot of apps that were downloading in background ) -- So odd that it was moved ( which means it was downloaded from the playstore but for some reason, I can't find it on the play store). I am at a loss for words. But this gives me a back up plan. Now I can save the APK file to SD card as an emergency backup option. Guess now is the time to start searching for another password manager. This is going to be a painful migration. LOL

Glad to help. Personally, I use LastPass to manage my passwords. I even pay for it because I want to support them. It has it's problems, like every password manager, but overall it's a good choice.
Edit: The suggested app in that article is, itself, no longer in the appstore. A free, no-ads alternative is here.
