Hi. Im having issues purchasing watch faces for my gear fit 2 that i recently received. I go to the Galaxy App store and go to watch faces and try to purchase one and it seems to fail but with no error message. I have credit card stored as well as paypal methods. I can purchase other apps from the app store no problem, seems to only be watch faces that is giving me issues. Once i click the down arrow it asks for a payment method, i click on my stored credit card and it shows the progress bar that it is trying to complete then it just goes away and nothing happens. No message, not complete purchase, nada. My phone, gear fit 2 and galaxy apps are all current versions. Anyone have any ideas? I also tried allowing unofficial apps to be installed as well. Thanks in advance for any help.
Having the same problem since I got my note 7 and free gear fit 2 yesterday, 2 calls to samsung and 1 reset later and still nothing. I can purchase apps for the phone and grab free watch faces for the gearfit 2 but I cannot purchase a watch face, it times out with an error message via paypal payment and if I try to use a credit card it just fails at purchase and goes back to the product page without any freedback as to why the purchase fails.

Thanks for calling support, was just about to do that. Guess i still should to get more attention to the issue. I feel your pain but somewhat relieved its not just isolated to me. Hopefully we hear something from Samsung soon. In the meantime i will keep trying here and there and report back if anything changes.
On my 5th tech support call now.. finally getting sent to advanced tech support since the last two times i called and they were supposed to file a ticket with them, they had not..
Thanks for the update. Sent support an email and received this in return:
In order to solve this issue, please try the following:
On your device open Settings > Application manager > All > Samsung Gear Apps (or Manager) > Force stop, Clear cache, Clear data , Disable then Enable."
This did not work for me. Hopefully you get somewhere with advanced support.

So advanced tech support sent me to galaxy app store support and they have heard of the problem and I guess the devs are working on a solution, they will email me when they figure out what the issues is but they say its 100% on their end and that I don't need to return/replace the phone nor the fit2 which is a good thing I suppose
Guess we wait then. Thanks!
I'm having the same issue - chatted with support to no avail. Did hard reset last night, still can't purchase faces. I'll wait for an update, too. Thanks!
Galaxy apps just updated for me and able to purchase watch faces now. Enjoy!
wow, awesome, thanks for the heads up!

I loaded it and it runs fine. When I try and download an app it starts then immediately says failed and a box that advises me to check my one click setting and try again. It appears to be comparing my one click setting phone number with my device but my gtab does not have a phone number? Anyone get it to work or seen this?
TIA
Yep, works and even updates itself. Your one-click settings are part of your Amazon account, and need to be set from their website.

Ya I did that and turned one click on but it wanted a phone number. I put in my home number but still seem to get the same error. I even turned both one clicks on with the same result. I'll keep playing with it...
Thanks
Do you have an Android phone that you can install from first? The app was designed with phones in mind, so that might be the issue.

No I sure dont. I think that is part of the problem. Was wondering if there was anyone in the same boat as me that got it to work. The Amazon site gives away freebies all the time so I wanted to take advantage of that.
Thanks
need to be install on phone first
yes it DOES work on the gtab
but you need to download it on a phone first, and after that you will have to setup your 1click setting and you will be good to go.

Yes the freebies are nice. You might be able to do some hoop-jumping with SIP and all of that crap, but I doubt it.
I have a phone with the Amazon app, so i made a separate Amazon account for my gTab. Helps keep the two separate, as I want different apps on my phone than my gTab.
If you don't have a phone, I believe you can enter an email address and do it that way.
Don't need a phone
I don't have an android phone and have a stock ROM on my gtab. The amazon app store is working great. I don't think it ever asked me to enter a phone number.
I gave it my email, they sent a direct link to the APK, downloaded and installed. Then went in to amazon a/c and turned 1-click ON. That was it. I have installed numerous apps and they work (except 1 or 2 which I guess were meant for a phone).
No phone here either and Amazon market works for me on Vegan.

That's how I did it as well. It asks for a phone number OR an e-mail address. Just provide your gmail address and you'll receive the e-mail on the g-tab (if it's set up as your default account) download the APK, install, and it should work fine.
I have the same problem as MikeJJ from Samsunggalaxyforums:
[SGS II] Samsung Apps Updates - Samsung Galaxy S Forums - Galaxy S II Forum
He wrote
'Hi,
I got the Samsung Galaxy S ii yesterday and i'm a bit puzzled by the Samsung Apps updates.
Firstly there was an update for Retail Mode for Samsung Galaxy S ii. I couldn't find this app installed, so i downloaded the update anyway.
Now there is 1 update in Samsung Apps. When I click to show this, it says "No Data"
Any ideas of either how to see this update, or get rid of the "one update" ?'
My query is do other ppl have this app (seemingly) preinstalled as well. I just wonder if my handset was intended to be a shop demo unit.
Otherwise I have to say this phone is even better than my high expectations.
Can some of you please look in the Samsung Apps and see if you have this Retail Mode For Galaxy SII app requesting an update? And report back if you do.
I had the exact same...
The Retail app is for shops to show off the unitbut needs a pin number to open it, so i uninstalled it.
it now shows 2 updates again,but only the retail app with an actual update.
It seems most people that bought this phone early from phones4u or unlocked from another source seem to be having this. I ended up turning the notifications off.
If you really want to try and get the password, someone upload the APK please and I'll see if it's stored within it, or on a server somewhere
EDIT: Someone else uploaded it... let's take a look =D
Try passcode 5444 please someone. I don't know what the app does so it's "at your own risk". I just took a look for the code
How do I turn the notifcations off on this I bought this from O2 and have this on there to
How do I turn the notifcations off on this I bought this from O2 and have this on there to. I've got notifications turned off I think but I still have 2 showing for updates. Also did post on other site is there any harm to installing this app and then in affect just ignoring it? Please help as tried Samsung and no use at all

I got the same update available notification and turned off all Samsung App updates.

Not a clue... As I said, these people asked for the password for the app - I've not got an SGS II yet, but I just gave them the password as they wanted it. I haven't a clue what the app is or does, but it sounds safe.
You are aware it just plays a demo video essentially?
Retail mode - Don't install
Luckily enough I found this post whilst turning on my S GS2.
I click on more info whilst it was downloading and this is what come up:
Shop Display use ONLY - Not for user
For regular users running this application anyhow we cannot guarantee for any malfunction
Retail mode offers the following:
1 Screensaver
2 Screen time out setting
3 web browsing homepage url
4 Locale Setting
5 Password setting
Subsequently I aborted the download!
If you stop the update notification then any programs you do download and install via Samsung app site, you won't any info on updates. Probably easiest to just ignore it, unless anyone else has any ideas?
Hi,
I'm running official AT&T ICS build in my Galaxy Note.
Long story short, I was trying to buy FIFA 12 for 0.25c in the latest sale at google play but it didn't show in my Note's Google Play. Looking in the web I could see that FIFA 12 was on sale for 0.25c but when trying to buy it would not let me add it to my device (SGH-I717) or if done from the Note, it would tell me that the app was incompatible with my device. I looked around and there are plenty of posts and web sites with related info but I just wanted to post here a set of simple steps that worked for me for the AT&T Galaxy Note so people don't have to go and try a million things like I did.
- First I rooted my device. (I'm not going to post any instructions for this, search in this forum.) (and I'm not sure it would work without rooting since we will have to modify a system file)
- Second I installed ROM Toolbox Lite (the free version),
- I run the ROM Toolbox and went to the Root Browser tool.
- I went to the folder system and then I opened the build.prop file with the "Build properties" app (when you select the file to open, it will show a bunch of apps to choose from).
- I changed the values from the following two properties (it might work by changing only the model property but I did both)
from:
ro.product.device = SGH-I717
ro.product.model = SGH-I717
to:
ro.product.device = Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.model = Galaxy Nexus
I restarted the Note and voila! all the applications that were not showing before in Google Play are showing now and I could buy them. Not only that but I could also buy them online away from my Note.
The only draw back I noticed is that Swype was not working after the change, I assume the app was checking for the right model number since it's an app that came exclusively with the Note. But you can just revert back the changes and the apps the were supposed to be incompatible will still be working.
I'm sure there are other models we can use and will still work and that some apps will show for some models and not for others so it's a question of trying.
I did not change the dpi in my phone, still as default 320. I tried to change it and it actually made the apps to not show up in Google Play even with the right changes in the properties.
I hope it's useful to somebody.
Cheers.

wow! thanks for that!
I was frustrated because i wanted the video maker app and a few others. now i can try for them again!
maybe you can help me with a problem i am having with google play...specifically the option to bill for apps thru my carrier (it is missing)...i wanted to get those 25ยข apps. i called at&t and google and after various cache and data clearing and making new google account and much research on here and many other things, i still have no answers. i get the option to use credit card or redeem gift card and at first had option to bill my carrier, but that led me to "there was an error, please try again bla blah blah". when i cleared the cache and data, that option to bill thru the carrier disappeared. Like you i am also runningon my i717-- the at&t ics upgrade (never tried any other roms) and my note is rooted - of course. i had some apps frozen but have restored them. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling google play updates. i did the root first then upgraded to ics (i think...anyway i followed directions i found at xda to the letter. i never deleted any apps just froze them. i never had any prroblems after root and upgrade to ics till now! any ideas? thanks for your time...really!
@mamaboo....you are using cellular data and not wifi to download and purchase the apps?
carrier billing....
Thanks for your suggestion!
i am using cellular data with wifi turned off. i reconciled myself to using a debit card but i really want the billing thru at&t and it just wont work...i have tried all they have suggested at at&t tech support except a master reset. that is just too time consuming right now although imay do one soon just to start fresh. i researched and saw that quite a few ppl have this same problem.
If i find a solution, i will post it here. Maybe i just ned to unroot, i dunno!
i am glad i had the debit card, there are some great apps for a quarter! i missed the first two days and there were some apps i would have definitely gone for. you just cannot beat that price!
i feel like a kid in a candy shop, i bought 8 really good apps and spent only $2.00! and a 900 plus page book--a really great read--for $3.99!
Funny thing is......I am using a Rogers Note with the stock rooted Rogers ICS ROM on it. I am also on a non smartphone data plan. Also I have carrier billing blocked on my account. And I have the carrier billing prompt available. Are you sure you are looking in the correct place?
After selecting the price you get the screen with the "Accept & Buy" prompt. Before selecting "Accept & Buy", right above it you will see the line with "Pay With." All the way to the right will be a drop down menu arrow. Select that arrow and I get a new menu with: Bill my AT&T account, Visa xxx-xxxx, Add card, and Redeem.
Seems strange if it is not there for you. Help file says it should be there as long as you are on cellular data, you aren't behind on your cellphone bill, and you do not have carrier billing blocked through ATT.
carrier billing...
my phone at first gave me the carrier billing option right where you said it should be. but clicking on it gave me a message that said something like "THERE WAS AN ERROR....PLEASE TRY AGAIN" no error number or other info. i called at&t and they had me clear the cache in the google play app...nothing...then clear data...nothing except now there is NO option to carrier billing anymore. i did a battery pull with phone on, i uninstalled google play updates then reinstalled, then i made a NEW google account. between each thing i tried, i checked for the carrier billing option and nothing again. the last resort is a master reset....unless i find an answer here. i have been using google play all morning and with a debit card...at least that worked. i am so mad i missed those first few days of apps because if this. i actually went out and got the prepaid card from walmart....only other thing i can think of is the purchase block i had put on the other phones on my account. at&t says it is not blocked on my phone, but maybe i should have them remove it from those phones just to see...sorry about typos (I think i got them all corrected!)..i am waiting to see if tapatalk goes on sale! think i will just get it anyway....
You say your phone is rooted, right? How about replacing the google play with an older version from the gingerbread ROM?
Hmmm, that sounds like a project to try. everytine i uninstall google play updates, it goes right back and installs them. I am not sure how to do it but i am willing to give it a try. anything but the dreaded master reset for now. and i know that is something i probably should do just to 'clean house' sometime soon..

Hey
I changed the file to the galaxy nexus for my rooted telus i717d and it bricked the phone. I was unable to boot and unable to flash to recovery. I had to send the device in for repair. I got the device back , but just a warning!!!!!
I changed my sgh-717 att to galaxy nexus and only difference was it went just as far but with new error saying file can't be found. Then changed to sgh-747 sgs3 which I also own that was compatible withe the apps I wanted. But same outcome. Ended up just restoring apps I wanted with my sgs3's backups. Also try an app that spoofs the phone to another which ended up bricking phone but I still was able to restore my boot and system files from a nandroid backup. So I'll just use blackmart for now which doesn't check phone Id. Must be because I'm running slimrom 4.1.1 your method might work only on ICS builds. Thanks anyways

Wrong! That's NOT possible by changing build.prop. You did something else that broke it. Please don't mislead people with false statements and bad information.
95% of problems are user related.

Final Steps!!!
I was trying to do this for my Note 2 with Saurom ROM, but it didn't work, until I did the final step found in another forum.
Go into the Settings screen, select Applications, select Manage Applications, tap the All category, and select the Google Play app. Clear its cache and data, and then restart your device
It works now and I'm prompted to update 50 other apps, lol.
I'm using cyanogenmod on a s3 and on my phone neither of those where in that file, closest one was brand and that was associated with Samsung. Any suggestions?
I would like to complain about my current struggle with Google (since I have no one here to complain to. So I wrote Google a message and said I have a number of purchased programs that give me a download 403 error when i try to download them (geocaching, root explorer, titanium pro, gps status and toolbox pro etc.) and can they help me fix the issue. So they send me a canned response that says that I cannot install the programs because they are from a different userid of mine. So I respond and say that i have both user id's added as accounts on my phone so thats not it. So I get a canned response back that tells me there process of how apps are bought and how they are good forever and how you can install them on any devices. So I respond again telling them this is a download issue that I need help with. So I get another canned response that says during these issues you should try to wipe data on the play store and download manager. So I think, ok, this makes sense. I try that and nothing happens. So I respond again and tell them It didn't do anything but I have tried this on at least 6 different devices and it happens on all of them. So I get another canned response that says during issues like this you should delete your account and re-add it and if that doesnt work then wipe your phone to factory reset and try again. Now I am getting pissed. So I respond again and tell them that I just told them that it happens on many devices not just this device and I included a screenshot of the error this time and suggest maybe its having an issue looking up if i bought it and could they reset it so i could buy it again and see if that works. I get another canned response that says, it sounds like you are having issues with these apps, You should contact the developer so they can explain any issues that you dont understand on how their software works. NOW, each one of their responses comes with atleast a page of "We are sorry, we know this is frustrating, blah blah blah" with more detail on how to find the developers address etc." So I have this mile long email trail that's all canned bull sh!t I realize. So I responded again and told them to quit sending me canned responses and to read my damn issue so you can address it. I told them they should be working with the developer, not me, because this is their issue. Well - Stay tuned for there next canned response. I am going to blow a gasket if its another one that addressess nothing.

You must have skipped the original message like google did. It happens on 6 different devices which means its not device specific.
someone in another post fixed the issue for me. little did I know that just having both accounts added to your device isnt enough, you actually have to pick which account inside google play that you want it to install from. Who knew. 1 year problem solved.
Note to self. Never ask google for help, always ask xda friends.

I think this is a good thing to remember for all of Google's apps. Most of their apps, it seems, can be used with multiple accounts that is set within the app, independent of what the main account on the phone is. Recently had a related issue with my Hangouts activity going to the "wrong" phone, just had a set the accounts correctly within the Hangouts app on both phones and all is well again.

So relevant to the Note 3 that I read it twice. Only I didn't. Because it's not relevant at all. Yup.
Never had any issue with multiple accounts and downloading apps from Google Play. Always uncheck all the sync options for the non-primary account.
I was on the note 3 hence the note 3 post. But thanks for piping in.

I think Google Support is non-existent, and that's the way they've always wanted it. Why do you think Apple does so well? You can walk into ANY Apple store with an Apple product and get fairly good support with $0 cost pretty much anywhere in the USA. I've owned apple products for 4 years and when I've had a (hardware) problem with my device, it took 5 mins at an Apple store to get it replaced. I see why people like Apple. (Left iPhone 5 for Note 3 and am in heaven).
I had a problem with my Google Drive storage - I had that paid user bonus (95gb) and it disappeared one day without warning. So I contacted Google Drive support for paid users. First support guy I talked to responded: "Looks like you don't need the space, bye." LOL, really? That's not the point, it's free space that was gifted to me, I'd like it back. So, I summoned up the courage, contacted support again - and this time got someone who cared and in 2 mins I got my 95GB paid user bonus back. All depends on who you get I guess.
I've always dealt with two user IDs when I had my iPhones (mine and my wife's) and my Google Account (work, personal). Google's double account setup seems a bit more buggy - but I mostly just use it for gmail and hangouts (not apps).
And yes, moral of the story... You can almost always find a quicker, cleaner, faster solution online than contacting support.
Been using multiple accounts across eight devices for the last several years without issue. All I had to do is set up a primary Google account and secondary account from phone settings and didn't have to do anything within Google Play Store app. Can't get any more idiot proof than that.

There is no such thing as idiot proof. Just when you think it is you'll find a bigger idiot.

Anyone not using a Samsung phone with the Gear S? What certain limitations have you encountered and what phone do you have?
I have an HTC M8 so I'm hoping I won't be too limited to anything.
Someone posted about that on g+. He was able to get it to work with his moto X but said it was a pain to do. The setup process seems to be a big challenge.

If you are up to the challenge just follow the same method used to get the Gear Manager for the Gear 2 onto your M8. Then take it from there and see what happens.

So I went and picked up a new black Samsung Gear S today at the local ATT store. they only had one in stock and ordering through best buy produced a shipping date of March 2015.... I know its off subject but I havent kept up on the release and was wondering if it is fully released yet?
But anyway... Back to the topic.....
So like I said I just got it today and havent had much time to mess with it but I havent been able to get any of the paired functions to work with my M8. I also have a Gear 2 and a Gear Live. The Gear 2 I have working with a Gear Manager APK and like most with non Samsung devices, everything pretty much works with the exception of the S-Voice, weather. and any third party apps as I have no access to a samsung phone whatsoever..... Last night though through alot of reading I was able to successfully start installing new watch faces and some third party apps through the Tizen Wearables SDK using .wgt files... This is on the Gear 2 however and I was able to pair that one using the Gear Manager. The Gear S.. even though I am doing the same process to try to pair it I cant for the life of me get it to pair. The bluetooth connects and then it says connecting in the GManager app and just gets stuck there.. Something else that struck me as odd, after the first time you connect to gear manager we know of course it will automaticallys start asling to install something like 10 - 15 apps , I guess they are plug ins of some sort. Well when I connected the gear 2 it installed one called "Gear 2 plugin".... Now today when I tried to connect the Gear S. it installs the Gear 1 plugin. Anyone know if that sounds right?
So I too am constantly looking for info to get more functionality out of the Gear watches without going to a touchwiz POS phone, if you or anyone else has anything to share it would be greatly appreciated. I am also now looking for some sort of dump or repo so to speak, just an archive really of .wgt files so that i can have a bigger collection of standalone apps that I am able to install because that is the only way I know how to be able to add any appps to the Tizen watches so far. If anyone knows a better way to get to customize more please let me know. I have to be missingsomething..... or alot of things.... I read somewhere today that Samsung was claiming that the Gear S would have one thousand third party apps available at the time of launch.... I have yet to find one....

Well it definitely doesn't have what's app pre installed on it. There really isn't much on it for apps. Only new ones from gear 2 I think is that Nike health app like on the iPods a few years ago (not sure if they still have that on iPod) and some thing called"milk", I believe it's something for digital music like Pandora perhaps, email app and a messaging app... Oh and nav app. So did you want the wgt files so you could side load the faces and the few apps igot? They have to be installed via sdb unfortunately.... Unless you know aa better way?
