Anyone know where I can get the extra s III apps I keep hearing about. i.e. movie and photo editor, etc? I've looked for the Samsung app store and cant find it.
Thank you.
Where do you keep hearing about these extra apps? I don't recall anyone mentioning any extra apps.
I'm a new Samsung user. I think I have to load Kies to get it. So different than HTC.
Disregard. Appstore doesn't show in Kies.

Just wondering if anyone has thought of or better still started to build an XDA App Store.
I am thinking of an app we can all download to our phones, it will auto see what phone you have and only show those apps from XDA users, auto download updates of installed apps, auto download dependancies etc.
I have used an iphone hacked with cydia and such and it is much easier for downloading programs in this manner.
Just my 2 cents guys, I do hope we see something someday.
I know that you said that it should be XDA-specific, but another option is called App2Date.
Take a look here:

I was thinking of making one myself, but I definitely do not have time to even start such a project. I'm fairly busy with other ones.
Its not quite what I imagined.
That program does the updates, but like cydia for a hacked iphone you should be able to download new programs as well.
I honestly don't think it would be too hard or dificult to make.
All we really need is an app to list the programs based on the device and wm version your currently running.
The only problem will be to find somewhere to store the apps. A solution could be a simple databased maintaned and hosted by XDA, that will list the program name, details, OS and device information (so you can get the correct version for your phone) and a direct download link to the cab file. This way the apps can be hosted anywhere and we can avoid having to run and pay for a huge data transfer of programs.
I can possibly help with the database if anyones interested in helping to write the actuall app. Then the listings can be maintaned by xda registered users.
Hi,
i am one of the developers of mobile2day.com an we have the possibility to provide a big database with applications mapped to several devices. So we can show only applications for a specific device.
We have allready a mobile solution running on http://mobile2day.mobi/en/usd/index.html where you can buy and download applications. Maybe we can think about to add beta software, too.
Please, if you are interested feel free to contact me.
I was owner of an iPhone before I bought my Touch Pro and besides the fact that the iPhone is not that good it has one big advantage: The AppStore
I would love that kind of store for WM Apps
When will kies support my phone. It is shameful that everytime you click on application in kies it keep poping up that this phone is not supported.
It had been months since launch.when will they fix this? Also it would be really nice if kies would allow you to organise your app in the application screen as well as implement some sort of folder system. Over 11 pages of apps. It is starting to look like yellow pages.
Sent from galaxy s. JG4 + oneclick lag fix version 2.3
to ask the stupid question that I think you're smart enough to have already done since you have lag fix and other fixes...
you have the drivers installed, right? I know it's automatic, but some people didn't have success with the auto-install and had to go a manual route.

Well this isn´t such a stupid question since he asked when the Galaxy S will appear in Kies for the Samsung Apps and it will be possible to download apps directly in Kies and not only with the Samsung App Store on the phone.
But unfortunetely i can´t respond when Samsung will implement Android Apps in Kies. Maybe there are to less Android Apps for now, so there is no need right now for this.
Upon re-reading, I think I misunderstood the question almost entirely. So, there are two issues, on is the platform. Samsung apps are largely meant for Bada. However, there are some Android apps as well. But there, I think Samsung's apps are mostly regional dependent, and it depends on carrier stores prevalence in the area.
They probably reached agreements to not offer Samsung apps in areas where carriers have launched, or will launch an app store of their own, and Samsung will integrate into that. There are at least 3 countries I've heard of this being the case in. I wouldn't expect the fix you are hoping for anytime soon, but you can look to see if your carrier has a store that contains the Asphalt 5 and other apps that Samsung has available for distribution.
There's a couple live wallpapers out there that I've been looking for. They show up on appbrain, but when I search them on the market they can't be found. I was thinking it's Vibrant specific, but appbrain shows that some of the users are vibrant phones. What gives? Why do some apps just not show up for me, and for other people?
There are several I've had this issue with, but the two in specific I'm looking for are Particle Storm and Giraffe Live Wallpaper Free. They're both free apps in case anyone has a backup of the APK files they could throw my way.

I have a couple of quick questions. Firgive if already asked.
Why are the markets so different? Many of the appa I use on my phone are not there. For instamce I can't find words with friends. I did some google searching but could not fine the apk.. any help with that, I would be thankful.
I like the tablet just lots to get use to.
If I wanted to read about rooting this device what's the best site? Instructions. The only reason I would want to root is to get the real market ..
Sometimes it is because the apps aren't compatible. Other times the reason is hard to figure, because they work fine as they are.
One thing that you might try is to grab the app (.apk) from your phone and move it using something like a Dropbox app, or a simple file transfer through your pc would work too.
first things first. I need to find the apk. Do you happen to know where i might find it? There must be a repo of some sort somewhere?
I relly like the device tho. Seems a little disorganized ... maybe thats true of android as a whlole. Not Android s fault but manufacturers not sticking to the spec?
Anyway. Thanks for the help
if your phone rooted, u can install the app and grab pk from /data/app
could think of a few ways
Most devs have a web page for their product out there somewhere - a lot of them will offer the .apk for you to download there. You can also try browsing the android market via web browser or trying one of the many external markets available (Appbrain/Amazon are great!)
Hope that helps.
Hmm... I have words with friends, and it coordinates with my account on my Droid, up to date... I have no advice, but wanted to say it works great.. was on the market for the tablet for Me... still is I just checked.
I find the web version of android market to be wayyyy better than the app...
Samsung released a new version of WatchON called WatchON Plus, that is basically the S5 version of WatchON, compatible with the Note 3 and Galaxy S4. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...axy-s5s-revamped-watchon-ui-galaxy-s4-note-3/
Problem is... no one is able to download the app outside of the US (Device not compatible, blah bla blah)
Can someone install the app and provide us with the APK? It would be awesome!

I am not so convinced that the new US-only version will start without some tweaking but I think that story is somehow interesting - has anybody tested that new version?
I'm not sure how this could be useful for anyone outside US, even if it was made to work. First step is to pick up zip code and choose your provider, after that you have nice tv guide with list of programs, either by topic or channel, you get option to install netflix, rent pay per view movies, some link to youtube videos and basic remote control. When properly set, you can pick the movie to watch, point at tv and it sets the proper channel on tv. Without proper programing, that won't work outside US, so what am I missing? I have a program from my cable provider (FIOS) that at least let me watch some of the channels on my phone, useful when kids watch their programs on main tv. Watch on plus has connect to tv option, but it does not work with my tv, so I'm not sure what it does, but I think you guys are better off with app designed for your local programing.
BTW I have original watch on on my Note as well and it seems, they're 2 separate programs and don't exchange any info or data, had to do full setup for each.
how resourceful does one need to be to find something on the internet? i mean, google has made the internet idiot proof guys?
it takes more time to open a thread and maintain it rather then just searching around, please dont take any offence, but this forum was meant for at least people with intermediate attention and knowledge to technology, especially for what you own.

EDIT:, ps, since you've noticed the fragmented versions, there is a Smart Remote as well, same GUI, then theres PEEL, same GUI, they dont differ at all, and now u cant even add a 2nd TV, stupid.
