Pretty sure you have to download it.

You can download it in the Galaxy Apps

I can't download it from Galaxy Apps because I got a message that it is not available there. Here is a Link for the Galaxy App.
But you can download it from APKmirror.

Interesting i couldn't find it in galaxy store or in the camera addon download section, but the link worked thanks.

If you going to Samsung store, then go to the settings you will see my apps click it. Then you will see all click that then look for the surround app

I had the same problem. I got to it with the link. However when trying to install it, I get an error like you. Thanks for the apkmirror link.

It is my first Samsung device, so I have no surround app there. And the APK from APKmirror is not the last version. :crying:

That linked worked thanks! I used the one from the apps store and it was the latest version. Wonder why you can't download it from the camera app itself like all the others??:silly:

Also if you search in the Galaxy app store for "surround shot" nothing comes up, but if you use the link to the app store page posted above it works. It's like Samsung doesn't want you to find it and use it....weird

Thanks for the link, this is a neat feature I enjoyed using.

Thank you guys! Interestingly the gallery app doesn't detect photospheres taken with Google Camera as surround shots like it did on Galaxy S6.

I followed the link and get "Product does not exist in this store". Even though the page and install button show.
They must have removed it.
Clearly pushing for the Samsung Gear 360 camera, which I won't buy if I can't try out that sort of thing at lower quality on my phone (S8+ by the way).
Shame.
I will look for an alternative. Don't really want to root my phone just yet though as I have only had it a couple of weeks.

S9+ APK
Hi. Just got my S9+ and trying to use the Surround Shot download. I added it, seemed successful but it doesn't seem to be available Any thoughts? I can't actually find the setting on the phone to turn on/off the Unknown Sources either (albeit it still installed).

Word - same with my S9. It's insane that Samsung doesn't know how functional this feature is. I'd trade a million AR Selfies for one good photosphere

I fully agree! Why does Samsung get away with calling the AR selfies as a new feature of the S9? Clearly this is merely a software gimmick that has little to do with the new hardware.
If no alternative option becomes available for shooting 360 pics on the S9, I'd like to point out that you can also take that type of pictures using the google streetview app.
just know that you're not alone in this battle

Flipboard tablet .apk

Hi,
there is said to be a tablet version for 7" tablets.
Could someone of you install Flipboard and mail me the apk?
Thanks a lot!
(You can save the apk file with FileExpert for example)
I'm not aware of any tablet versions of Flipboard. Do you have any references?
I wrote them and they said they have a 7" version.
If you mean that the devs told you that directly, then they should also be able to tell you where to get it, and I'd imagine that they would make it available on the Play Store. I'm going to assume that you asked them something along the lines of "Is there a version of Flipboard for 7" tablets?" and they said yes, but what they really meant was that Flipboard works on 7" tablets and there's only one version.
I do not want to discuss this further.
If anyone has it, I would really appreciate if she/he could send it to me.
End of story
No discussion needed, just ask the dev again.... then u know for sure because I also think they misunderstood u....

I just looked on the Play store and it says it's Flipboard is compatible with my Nexus 7. Is the Play store version not the one you want?
I guess it may not be downloadable/available in certain countries.
Have you tried the apk from this thread?

Yeah I just tested it and it's portrait only at the moment. On the bright side--cool app! Never tried it before.
It looks like 7" is where they draw the line between phone and tablet currently and tablets arent supported yet. As a new user I cant post links here yet but if you go to the official flipboard support page and enter searchterm "tablet" you can see where i got this from and add your voice to the requests.
There is a workaround using some rotation control app but feel free to add to the thread asking for a tablet version.

[Q] Does Google Cardboard work?

After watching several videos about how awesome this thing is online, I was hooked and totally ready to buy one. However, after reading around, I've noticed some people saying that you can accidentally shut off the screen with the magnet on cardboard. Does anybody own cardboard that can confirm this is in fact an issue? I'm ready to buy this thing, however, that's holding me back. Thanks!
Why would you buy one? There are free plans online to make your own.

I think the OP probably means a kit. I've ordered a kit (ie card template, magnets, nfc tag and lenses) for not much more than the lenses on their own.
With regards to the OP's question, I'll let you know next week as I hope to build it this weekend.
Yes it works wonders on my M8 GPE! No issues whatsoever.
100% of the functionality is there and works correctly

I only have the Google Camera since I have the GPE phone, so I'm not sure.
I have a feeling it will work, though.

It doesn't seem to recognize them. Ive tried changing the name to match that, and make sure its in the same folder as ones from android camera.
Not sure what its looking for. It loads up any i've taken with android camera fine.
I have some cool ones from htc camera of places ill probably never go again and would love to check them out with this.

Yeah I did one on a dirt road in the redwood forests of California and it's great to see through Cardboard!
Probably a different format used by the Android camera I'm guessing, so that could be the issue.

Following up to answer my own question.
Changing the name, and moving the htc camera photo spheres into the same folder as the google ones worked, it just needed to be reloaded.
the name format is PANO_{DATE}_{Image number}.jpg

Glad you got it working! It would make sense that the Cardboard app just looked it one folder for the panoramas.

So does the Google Cardboard only work with GPE? I've read that the dotview would come on because of the magnet on the Cardboard. And you have to root the phone to disable it...

Yes i too want to know this..there is no video either. Does stock HTC M8 work with google cardboard or does it trigger the htc dot view?
Should work
I don't see why it wouldn't work on stock htc m8.. I had ATT sense with the dot view case, switched to GPE and the dot view case works the same way. Even the same features. So since dot view works with GPE fine and GPE users have confirmed that cardboard works, cardboard should work with sense as well.
Ok thanks for the input..will buy cardboard now
It definitely works on a stock M8.
The magnet doesnt seem to do anything for me. I push it down and release it to select an option in the cardboard app. But it doesnt select anything. Nothing happens. Can someone help?!
Make sure you do it in one quick movement down and back up or it won't make a selection.
Just wanted to say that sincr i updated my GPE M8 to lollipop, the magbetic switch stopped working. Worked 100% perfect before though so i hope there is some update that will fix this.

Oh really? I didn't get my cardboard until after I updated to 5.0, so I just assumed the magnet switch didn't work on the M8, google even list it as so.
That's interesting then...
Whats even further interesting is that the magbetic switch works with some apps. The hobbit VR experience works with the magnetic switch while others dont

Don't be a jerk. I understand this issue may be frustrating you but don't allow that frustration to cause you to be rude to those trying to help you. I've actually got both my Samsung Wireless Ear Buds and my Frontier watch synced and connected to my 6T. During the process I was actually led to the pages to install what I needed. I'm between classes right now. Let me get home later this afternoon and walk you through it. I can PM you or just post it here in case anyone else needs to see the info.

Got a question about features, functionalities and how tos? One offs that don't deserve a full thread? Let's try asking it here.
Let me start.
Anyone know how to have a banner as a notification? One that you can swipe away instead of a little bubble you can expand and have to drag into a little garbage.

Not that I know. I know that good Lock adds functionality to edge lighting but not that function in particular. Maybe someone else could chime in. On a brighter note I saw in a Samsung forum that Samsung was working on giving the lights around the camera some of those led functions. It didn't come from Samsung officially so who knows. That being said RIP phisical LED!

Well that's normal behavior. The only progress bar you'll see is in the app store itself and if you happen to be using one of the apps being updated it might force close. I'm not sure sure what the question is. Maybe a bit more details in regards to what you're trying to accomplish might help. ?

Hi All
Im experiencing a drop in data connectivity once in a while, be it with browser, fb, ig, youtube etc. BUT my 4G icon is still available and present at the navigation bar with full service reception.
I called my provider if there is any issues on their end but they said all is fine up and running.
Anybody having this issues or isit my baseband faulty or some kind? Snapdragon hardware btw. I have hard reset it by using the buttons but still no use.
Im an avid android geek having 3 4 phone changed in a year but this is by far the most frustrated device yet
Please help do i need to turn off some settings or what not?
Hopefully its just a software glitch or something it would be a hassle to send in for investigation.
Did you try a "Reset network settings"? That would probably be my first step in troubleshooting.

Depending on the keyboard you're using just press + or whatever you do if you're adding a picture and select the AR emoji you want from your album. Is that not working for you?
Sent from my SM-G975W using XDA Labs
I can do that but I cannot find in gallery, or anywhere else, the AR emojis. It only seems to work in the stock Messages app as it puts a dedicated button for this purpose in the input box.

Samsung Galaxy A20 Google Camera

Hi,
Can anyone share fully working google camera apk for Samasung Galaxy A20.
Thanks
check here: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-port-hub/
I ran Camera2 Probe and found that the A20's cameras do not support RAW (DNG) photos.
It's a pity, because the back camera is f1.9.
It makes me wish I had bought the A6.
I've contacted Mike Channon from xda and he told me that we need 40 to 60 threads before we get our own forum.
