Missing gear fit manager in Samsung app store. - Samsung Gear Fit

Anyone else have this issue. I have a note 3 on sprint. The gear fit manager use to show in the app store. Now it's gone. I have the apks saved. It's just strange that it gone. Regular gear manager and gear fitness show up just fine. I've reset the app data. Un installed the app. Idk ??

Samsung pulled the app for some reason, probably a last minute bug they found in it.

That's what I thought originally. It's been missing since this past weekend for me. But I can pull it up on my s3 just fine. I tried today at work on some co workers phones. One being an s4 and another s3. I'm wondering if it's something note 3 specific.

I think they pulled it because it was sapping the battery something fierce.

Office 365 mobile

Can someone do me a favour and try downloading office 365 mobile from playstore? It's free. Link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub
My device is listed as not being compatible, am in support threads with Microsoft and Google to determine why, want to know if it's just me or a c6833 issue. If you don't see it in a search that means your not compatible.
Thanks in advance peeps.

Hehe... Thanks mate, I had a sneaking suspicion this will affect all Z Ultra users.
Can some others try also, especially other models?

Yeah. I got it off a third party store called 1mobile market, but of course I don't get proper updates, plus I hate using a third party store personally. Just wanted to get it sorted as it'll affect a lot of people especially business users.

I had to send it to Hong Kong as thats where I bought it from. New Zealand wont stock it. blah!!
I got an email saying they have signed for it, so maybe another 7-10 days??
so essentially 3 weeks without my Ultra. But I didn't have a choice. Wasn't going to have a device that thought it was charging all the time..

3 weeks! To be fair, that's about the same time it would take her in UK for a service. Jesus, being without the zu for 3 weeks makes playing with yourself the only real alternative :sly:

Hi SpyderTracks,
Same issue here when I had my Z Ultra. It says app is not compatible. I think this is due to the fact that it is identified more as a tablet than a phone. When I first was playing with the floor model, I noticed that the "Settings" menus look more like Android tablet style than the phone version. I've noticed that on my Galaxy Note 2, the settings menu is black versus white/gray on my Galaxy Note 10.1. I can't say if this is for certain all Android but it seems that way looking at other phones vs. tablets. Another app I was looking at was "mysms" and it shows main app as incompatible. Other apps it shows both the phone version and tablet version as compatible.
I've searched Google and run across a trick where you modify one or two elements the "build.prop" file to make Google App store identify your phone as a different phone (like a Samsung S3). I haven't tried this myself though I plan on doing it sometime in the future possibly.
Hope this helps.

Thanks mate. I'm in contact with Microsoft on this and they say the XZU should be compatible, they're blaming Google play store for the issue, but Google say the app compatibility is specified in the code of the app and they have no control over it. I've done a quick search and found some code snippets which back this up, so I think I'll escalate the issue with Microsoft.
Would still appreciate some more testers with C6802, C6806 to try? Will give me extra weight with Microsoft if I can point them to this thread.

I have a C6802 and it also says that "This app is incompatible with your device."
Google for office mobile 365 apk, install it manually, it works fine and great on z ultra big screen. I already tested it. I have not rooted my ultra but on wanam exposed module there is an option to trick the play store so that it shows all app.

Yeah, it's not a problem running or finding the app, but I don't like 3rd party stores and want updates coming from Google play.

Hi all
Thanks to those of you that helped out. Microsoft have admitted the issue and are looking into their specifications for compatibility within the app. As it's a coding issue, it'll need an update so may take a bit of time, but it's great they're looking into it.
If you want to keep up with updates on this, the thread is here

All respect for the USA, but is the rest off the world not good enough?
this is not correct.
I can't post the way to fix this but there's a way, (2 ways that work) but I think it can be mod in the app itself.
will give it a try 4 sure

It is about licensing issues. To get around chasing up their own licensing deals they went through a company called Slacker (according to Engadget). Slacker is unavailable in my country (Australia) and so Samsung Milk is too. I believe Slacker is available in the UK but obviously I can't test this and frankly I'm too lazy to check. If that is the case you could reasonably expect Samsung to expand to the UK shortly if they make a deal with Slacker. Countries that don't have Slacker are probably in for a much longer wait.
Is it Samsung milk or coffee?

It's ad free "for a limited time" but it IS compatible with Viper4android... unlike the stock Samsung music app.

[Q] Use the Gear Fit as standalone

Dear Community,
i'd like to know if someone uses the Gear Fit as standalone device? Is it possible, or do i have to connect it certain times a day/week with a supported samsung device in order to keep it going? Does the Fit also displays the fitness statistics of several days?
Thanks for your answers,
brgds, zack
You do need to initialize it when you first get it so you would need the fit app at first but technically you could use it by itself afterwards. I feel it has enough options and self tracking to be a stand alone device.

Thanks for info!
Do you use a Gear Fit? You may have some screenshots of the fitness statistics displayed on the gear? Would be very nice
I haven't used the exercise app this month since I have been on vacation but here is the pedometer and the sleep tracking.

One last pic. The exercise activity and the pedometer are definitely off by a good bit. For a 2 mile run it says I went 2.2 miles... Hopefully samsung will recode it and make a little less sensitive.

I'm getting rid of my Samsung phone but want to keep the Fit. I just want to use the watch feature as a stand alone. But when I disconnected the fit from my phone, the time went off by a few hours. Is there anyway to adjust the time without the phone?

Issue with apps

After rooting my note i717, I noticed xEbay app doesnt show ANY images of items anymore, just a square. And now, even the xda app is now just holding on the splash but never goes any further. The other day, my buddy asked me to root his note i717, so I did, took it back to him, and as I was leaving, I remembered and asked him to check his ebay app if the images of items show and nope, same as mine, just squares. Any ideas besides starting my phone all over again?

Galaxy s6 NFC

Hello xda community,
I have a problem with my nfc always scanning for tags, even when turned off. The best would be, if I could get rid of nfc as i don't even use it anyway. My s6 is rooted by the way. The whole situation is, that I'm using a case for my device, which holds my gym member card automatically triggering a sound+msg saying "tag type not supported". I already tried using or finding apps for this and even uninstalling the nfc app, just making the app crash and show error messages(i restored the app after this).

Is there nobody, that has some kind of advice? Am I the only one with that problem?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Sorry, I haven't tried NFC on the S6 yet. From memory, Samsung had their own version of NFC on the S4 that wasn't stock standard. Might be worth checking that out?

I also possess the s4 , but I don't understand your suggestion. Do you want me to use my other phone instead of the s6?
Sent from my SM-G920F using XDA Free mobile app
Did you ever sort this out? I have noticed I can get messages for no reason which stopped when I turn NFC off suggesting there's a problem somewhere.

No sry I didn't. I got used to flip the back cover containing my problem issuing card, to just ignore the problem. Even while I'm calling someone.
