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.

All Tizen apps are .wgt files?

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

[Q] "None Samsung phones" Connect Gear S to GearManager & Samsung Apps Store

Hi Faccion.
There is a yes and no to your question.
Yes, there is a way to install the Samsung gear to your non Samsung phone (for that follow the thread in the other reply)
But some apps will not work on your watch anymore and you will not get any push messages, you also will not get any updates for your watch.
I have tried it with my mobile and since then I receive a error messages that something is not working in my mobile, I needed to reset the phone.
There is also a way to start your mobile without a phone but than as well there are some apps which will not work with the watch.
The people of Samsung were not completely honest in there advertising, you do need a Samsung to work properly with the watch.
good luck

Yes, I did this and it works. But the next step is to install the Samsung apps store. I was successful in installing it but it dose not work because its a lg phone. So I changed the manufacture, brand, model to Samsung in built.pro and the stores works fine, but now when I open gearmanager it crashes everytime and I have to restart the phone! So I can only use the manager or the store but not them 2 together. I've searched everywhere but couldn't fined the answer on how to make them work together. Maybe someone knows?))

I've got them both working together. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but I only changed the model in the build.prop. I'm on a Nexus 5.

Yes, Its working now. But I still don't see the store in gearmanager. And the apps that I install only are shown on my phone.
iHeartRadio is not to be found among available apps in the Gear S manager, but when I install it on my Galaxy S5 via Google Play:
1) iHeartRadio sees that I have a connected Gear device
2) proceeds to try to install iHeartRadio on my Gear S
3) generates an error message about failing to install the app on my Gear S
4) proceeds to remove the app (!) from my Galaxy S5.
Both devices were configured to allow for external installs. I'm guessing Samsung wants to retain exclusivity for Milk, but I hope it doesn't mean they will also be blocking the release of TuneIn. I'm more of a news guy than a music guy, and I'd really love to see a streaming radio app land for the Gear S. Right now I'm making do by copying news podcasts over to my watch, but that's a pain.

Me too, have the same issue. Not sure if samsung is blocking it or if iHeartRadio is trying to install a version that is not compatible with Gear S (Gear 2?? - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer...ar-2-and-gear-2-neo-smartwatches-is-available), as a result pulling off both the mobile/ watch installations!!

Ditto I installed iHeart from Amazon app store it stayed I do not have a iheart on my Gear S though not sure if I was supposed to have one or not
This is why I love forums. Thank you so much for the info. This worked.

I installed the Iheart app from the Amazon store, and it didn't install anything on my Gear S. Is there something I'm missing?
Is it still not working?
There is currently no fix for the gear 2, the app will only work on you phone at this time. I heart is aware of the issues and is working with samsung to get this issue fixed. Hope this helps.
I was able to succesfully install iheart on my Note 3 and Gear 2, when the Gear 2 came out. But on my Note 4 and Gear S, no success. Only option now is like whats already mentioned. And thats installing it through Amazon app store. That also wont install the watch app. But as a work around, you can use the media player on the Gear S to control the volume, skip songs, and pause/play.
