I can't seem to find the app to connect my S3 Frontier to my 6t. It says the Gear app isn't compatible with my phone. Anyone have similar issue and/or fix?
Thanks.

Could it be the Galaxy Wearable app? Looks like they renamed it maybe? It shows Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear).

Just download it from the store on your phone. It works just fine, and I just did it with my Gear S3.

Installs just fine on my phone.

So I just checked under settings in the play store and my device is NOT play protect certified. Anyone else?

Samsung pay works on the watch if you don't have a Samsung phone? I didn't know that!

Did you figured it out ??? I had it working without root I just rooted and got the device isn't compatible

I transfered the app from my galaxy 7 to my oneplus 6t and it works perfectly with my gear 2..

If I root the phone, yes.

I don't know why it just dawned on me. I have an unlocked bootloader but not rooted, I see that root is the issue but I wouldn't think an unlocked bootloader would be.

On the Pixel 2 XL, Play store will be not certified if you unlock the bootloader.. custom kernels fixed the issue.. probably same for OP 6T as well...did you flashing custom kernels on this?

Hum. I'm rooted with magisk and have no issues using my S3 watch...
I have full scanning turned off on the play protect screen

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.

I'm here, my friend. Just waiting to see what devs do with this tab. It's lower-end, but it's snappy and feels premium. I hope we can get some CM action on this bad boy. Depends on the popularity, but I think the price point should help a lot.

The only thing low end is the price this feels nicer than my transformer prime. Does have a small lag from time to time opening apps though.

Yea well it does have *slightly* better specs than the Prime, but the Prime was released in 2012. The price can't be beat, tho. I hope people flock to it.
I think part of the reason there's no one here is because you can't find this tablet anywhere but a few brick-and-mortar Best Buy stores right now. I can't find a single online retailer that lists it in their stock yet. Once it's widely available, this forum should fill up. For now, it's just you and me, I guess lol.

True that. Im looking foreard to rooting, and opening up dual window to all apps. How does yours run?
Just picked mine up from BestBuy. Rooted with Towelroot and Xposed. I have found that the G3 tweaks xposed module works, haven't tested all of it but ehat i have so far works.

Wow. Can you post a guide?
Sure thing.
Here is towel root https://towelroot.com
Download the app a day run it, will give you root. After that download supersu from the market and run it.
Download xposed from here http://repo.xposed.info
I think latest stable is 2.6.1.
After that you can download the g3 tweak from the market. The g3 and 10.1 are very similar rom wise, I've been able go use some of the theme tweaks (every one tried has worked, but can't guarantee all of it works since it's for the g3)
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
I grabbed a 7" and hoping this picks up. Also a separate forum if necessary
I can confirm that this works. I even picked up an app from the play store that allows you to add any app to the duel windows. Ive wanted that function ever since i got this device! I havnt played with the framwork too much but seems to work.
I guess the only thing missing is a custom recovery. Any insight on that anybody?
BTW, towel root was the easiest root ever. One click app. No hooking up to a computer.

I wonder if LG threw in an encrypted boot loader on the tabs. Also I couldn't find any information on this but does the G Pad 10.1 support USB OTG? I plan on picking one up within the week and hopefully get a custom recovery going soon after.

Flex multi window mod
I got one and i rooted it with towelroot with no problem. Even installed flex multi window app and works fine. The only problem is that it doesn't support NTFS usb sticks. I don't have any FAT32 right now to try but i'll search if it's possible to add NTFS support.
coming soon my 7.0 !!
Can someone please see if you can enable Chromecast's screen mirroring after rooting the 10.1 by using the Mirror Enabler app?
I greatly appreciate it.
I just got the gpad 7.0 from att with the G3 bundle for 99cents. Im trying to decide if I want to keep it or return. The screen quality isn't all that great. I also couldn't root it with towelroot as it says its not supported. I wish there were more activity in the forums for the g pads too.
Update: I was able to successfully root the G Pad 7.0 At&t version using purpledrake. LG-V410
I got my mom a like new g pad 7.0 off ebay for nice price but didn't realize it's the At&T version. We are just going to use it with Wi-Fi. That shouldn't be a problem right?
also, is there a way to stop the pad from asking for sim card besides turning on airplane mode? thank you

Play Store and Fingerprints

Before I purchase the phone, I just wanted to know if you could make purchases in the play store using your fingerprint? I know on the Nexus devices you can and I thought it was a feature that was being implemented in Marshmallow. Hopefully Samsung tapped into Google fingerprint API's finally. Anyone care to help me out here?

Yup.
If you use PayPal app the fingerprint thing seems broken.

I can live with that for the time being. It's probably an issue on PayPal's end. The Play Store, however, is the more important aspect of the fingerprint functionality for me.
I have not tried to buy anything yet. The setting is there.

Same here.
yes in the latest google play update you have the option to enable fingerprint for purchases
It is definitely a prob on PayPal's end. I have several Banking Apps with Fingerprint Login - works perfectly on the S7 Edge. As I read in other forums (i know, i know, THIS is the one and only forum! ), they had the same prob with the Galaxy S6 Edge+ . Sit and wait... for an update to come :-/
I made a purchase on the Play Store using fingerprint security on the S7. It worked flawlessly.

Surround shot Camera Mode missing

Surround shot Camera Mode missing in Galaxy S8. Do the don't provide anymore?
Can somebody port it from s7 to s8 or does anyone knows a good alternative??
Many thanks for yor help

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.
Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk
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

[Request] Samsung Messages Port

Here's the deal:
I've got a Samsung Gear S3. For the messages app to appear on my watch, I normally need a Samsung phone to pair with, otherwise, the app won't appear, and you can only deal with messages only when receiving one, which is a limited and limiting functionality. The only way I could have it work is possibly by getting a Samsung Messages app, which can only be functional if ported for the OnePlus 6T. If there's anyone who can do such a thing and help me out, I would really appreciate it. Otherwise it's fine. Just thought I'd ask.
Thank you,
Savz
Just go into your S3 and pull the app, then side load it on the 6t, but I'm pretty sure you are going to need more than just the app

The app is hidden on my Gear S3. To become visible, I guess it must detect the Samsung messages app on my 6T, which is the reason I want a port for the 6T.
Mine is working fine with Google messages... Also using Gear S3.
EDIT: Nevermind... I misread your post. Yeah, no creating texts on the watch.

Use Pulse as your SMS app. There is also a Pulse Samsung wear app you can download. Both are free, I use them on my 6t and my Galaxy Watch. Problem solved.

Yeah the apps are free, but I didn't realize that you needed to purchase the account to use the wear app. Sorry I didn't realize that because I have a lifetime license for Pulse but I didn't realize it was required
I bought the lifetime subscription for Pulse and use it on all my devices. Totally worth it! Just do it and you won't regret it!

Samsung music app on lineageos?

I have been using my s8 for about 2 years now and i've gotten a bit bored of the normal firmware that was on the phone. Also due to the fact that i was unable to update made my choice into installing lineageos on my phone.
The only problem i've had untill now is the music app. I mean it just straight up sucks. So has anyone in the past ported the Samsung music app to another device? Or is it even possible?
