I've samsung galaxy s wifi 5 media payer. For some reason android market is not showing whatsapp messenger, how can i get that one.
I have the 4.0 and I can't get that app either. What you can do is go to 4shared.com and get and download it from there. just search for whatsapp apk.
You need a phone number for most free messaging services...impossible to get on a non mobile device...

Not true. I have the Galxy S Player 4.0 and I have a messaging app called Heywire(which is in the market), and they give you a free phone number for messaging only.
I said most...whatsapp and other popular apps require a phone number

And Google Voice works just fine. That's all I ever used even on my Optimus phone.

That's true. Whatsapp for android needs a real mobile number, so it doesn't work on the Player. However, Whatsapp works in iPod touch (¬¬).
Flash Meticulus' rom R5 and you are able to use whatsapp.
If whtsapp cant confirm your mobile number, just ask for a callback to your phone number

I really really want to have Whatsapp on my Samsung Galaxy player 4.0 because on my smartphones in the past I have always had it and I have family all over the world.
Long story short, I made an account on 4shared, downloaded Whatsapp, and now it tells me that I cannot use it since I don't have a phone number.
How on earth do you ask for a callback? Is it just impossible to have Whatsapp on a phoneless smartphone (it's like an iTouch).
I emailed Whatsapp as well but they're having technical problems with their technical support (not sure I understand that).
Any advice?

Basically you need to have a hacked framework and give your Galaxy Player a faked device ID (IMEI no.). Then Whatsapp will think that it is a phone and let you get through the installation. The usual SMS verification will still fail because Galaxy Player is not really a phone. However, after the SMS failure, Whatsapp will offer you the callback option.
There are a number of custom ROMs for 5.0 have the hack but I am not sure about 4.0.
Klin's Klassic has a version with the deviceid hack but it's not the latest version... It's included in R3 but removed in all later versions

oops it works!!!
Ok so I am using Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds and have recently bought a Smart TV and want to share my data i.e (Video, Pictures, Music etc)
I am trying to install the Samsung Link software (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.pcw) and its failing to do so. I managed to download the .apk from an alternate source and tried installing it.. That failed too.. Is there no way to get this app working on my phone with Cyanogenmod?
Alternatively anyone who has a smart tv with inbuilt WIFI and Bluetooth is there any other way to connect to the tv? What are the features I will lose if I use these alternate methods of connecting? like WIFI Direct, Bluetooth or Cloud storage!
you could not install samsung stock apps on CM roms as they require framework. that's almost impossible.
-------------------------------------
please let me know if i'm wrong and CLICK thanks if i help

Overall must say CyanogenMod is awesome but i simply do not understand why the HDMI connect is not supported and why it never will be. Everyone has SmartTV and everyone eventually will use that feature sooner or later. It's so frustrating. I even installed CyangenMod on my brothers phone recently and he is cursing me because certain apps do not show up in Googles app store. He is a doctor and he needs some of those apps.
For example i have latest nightly installed on my HTC One M7 and i even cannot connect via Wireless Display on my Samsung Smart TV UN55F8000.
I love cyanogen and its update policy is the best but Day by day things i cannot do which become more and more common cannot be done because CyanogenMod won't recognize apps or simply does not work with certain devices. Sooner or later it will become big issue in the future if the list which can't be done will become bigger and the things which can be done will be just like checking the facebook status.
It's just sad.

Where can I find an APK for SideSync application which has been released recently by Samsung along with its Tab-S & Tab-Pro serious?
I wish if I can run it on Note 10.1 to be able to Sync with S5 mobile.
Any help would be appreciated.

Has any one gotten it to work with earlier version of Galaxy S3 and S4 phones?
I got the app to work on Note 10.1 (2014 edition). I installed the app on S3 phone. Comes up on both devices then instantly closes on S3 phone. The reason I am asking this I believe there a lot of users of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 phones that might like this ability to work like on the new Galaxy S tablets and Galaxy S5 phones.

Also got problems with running it. Only old version can be installed on my Note P605 and on PC there is only version 3.0 available. After connecting tab to PC nothing happens.
Soft do not find my tablet. If any of you make it work please share how to?
I downloaded SideSync 3 from Aptoide to my P-605 & using it with my S5 mobile. Works normally

Is there a way to load this app on my Note and view the screen from the a PC? It seems the app can only view a phone's screen and not act in reverse.
You can change the product name in the build.prop to sm-p905 too, this will allow you to install anything that installs on a note pro

It works fine on my S4. The phone must be running kitkat. Unfortunately you are not able to make or receive calls through the tablet, but all other features work fine.
i was able to download this on my p600 with the play store no problem but it says not compatible on my s4 active for work. i cant root it so i hope i can do something.
Does any1 have a problem with call forwarding ?
I've got note 10.1 2014 edition and note 3 lte stock rom, stock kernel.
Sidesync 3.0 works great beside call forwarding. When some1 calling me I only can see it on my phone. On the tablet is jus black screen.
Any1 got the same problem and solution ?!
Hi,
I have SideSynce running on my phone and tablet. I can connect to my phone from my tablet and can control the phone within the tablet.
I only have one problem. If I try to write a text for example in Whatsapp the keyboard doesn't get shown if I tap into the textfield.
Does someone has a solution ?
Thank you!

Hello guys,
So, i just bought a Samsung Gear S for my HTC One, and yes i know this is not 100% fully working, but i'll get a Samsung Alpha in few months.
Well, i followed your tutoriels and guides, and nothing went as planned.
The most embarassing thing is that i can't acces the Samsung Gear Store : is this a normal thing ? Or did i just mess up somewhere ?
Surprinsingly, S Voice function works 100%. I can't control my music tho. And the phone calls works very fine.
So, do you guys have any idea how i could fix this store issue ? Cause i would like to install something like Opera Mini or some other apps.
Thank you for reading, and sorry for my poor english
You need a Samsung phone that you can pair with the Gear s in order access the Samsung app store to install apps on the watch.
Best to find a friend with a compatible phone , pair it with theirs, then add whatever apps you want.
Or go to an electronics store that has compatible phones on display and pair your watch with one of them if you can.

I have an HTC M8 too and tried the workaround. This caused various issues and a few things didn't work post install of the Gear Mgr. I wanted something better and needed access to the gear store. And the last thing I wanted was be forced to buy and use a Samsung phone.
This isn't for everybody, but here's my fix...
I just bought a cheapo Samsung Gear S compatible phone off eBay and turned it into a notification relay point. You can get one for as little as ~$70:
Plug in it, connect to Wi-Fi, download Gear Mgr, clone the apps/email (from HTC) you want Notifs from, and set it up to remotely send the chosen app's notifications. For your HTC's texts, there are a handful of SMS forwarding apps on Play that work great. One app allows for you to reply with the native mobile # just as if it came from your HTC. Last step, set your watch to be standalone.
Everything works, including S-voice.
Thanks a lot guys ! A friend of mine has à Galaxy Note 2, i think it will be fine !
I'll keep you in touch if anyone wants to know what happened next !

Could you explain this a bit more, please?
I have someone who would love to get the Gear S but is a hard core iPhone user. I guess he could get a cheapo Galaxy phone, connect it to Wifi at home, but I don't understand the clone part, and how the cheapo gets the HTC notifications.
Guessing it may not work at all with an iPhone, but still interested in understanding the process.
Samsung could have really tapped that market by releasing a Gear Manager app on the Apple app store, and advertised a bit more.
No one knows what's on my wrist, but once explained, a lot of people would be potential customers if only the friggin Galaxy phone wasn't a prerequisite.

What you need to do is basically put the same apps on the relay device as your daily driver. Sign in to each app and then go to the Gear Mgr and make sure that app has a check mark.
As far as email. Use the stock Samsung email app and/or GMail . Enter all of your account info and, again, make sure the Gear Mgr is set.
So basically, all your doing is taking a dummy S compatible phone and creating a clone of your phone's app and email configuration.
Not sure if the iStore has an app that will forward your texts...but, hopefully, they should. If not, Google voice is another way to go.

On November 2014 I bought Gear S which i paired with my samsung galaxy s3 neo. Sometimes the smart watch stopped to work and I was able to reactivate the Gear S only after resetting it.
On 23 February after experiencing another arrest of the Gear s I downloaded from Galaxy apps the latest version of gear manager (2.2.14110499). After I have installed the gear manager I wasn’t able to reactivate my gear s although it paired with my galaxy S3 neo. In particular the gear manager is not able to download the additional software and I receive the following message: “Unable to connect to the gear. Connection to the gear is not supported by your mobile device…” Moreover just beneath the above message appear a writing during just some seconds stating: “Download url not available, can’t launchPlugin!”
What is not working? My gear s or the new gear manager?
Can someone help me? Thanks

Hmmm. Well, in order for the S to be compatible with your Samsung phone, you have to have 4.4+, non-mod touchwiz, and the gear manager (and the supporting apps... Sam Store, IAP, etc).
Is it a custom ROM or stock? If stock, when was your last OTA update?

I think I found fraud. For some days now in the official Samsung website (at least in the Italian site) neo s3 is no longer listed among the smart phones compatible with Gear S. Is this behavior legal? I hope Samsung solves this mess as soon as possible.

Problem solved! I followed the procedure reported in another thread :"Tutorial: Install Gear Manager and connect to Non-Samsung Devices" and now all seems to work perfectly. Fortunately XDA exists. Thanks
