[Q] Broken "Samsung Apps" app? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

My Samsung Apps app shows only two apps:
Angry Birds Space_WVGA
Tetris (test4)
Did I somehow get a preproduction version of Samsung Apps? Anyone else having this issue?
For what it's worth, I can actually download both of these. The Tetris app just says "premium game app test" when you open it, but Angry Birds Space seems to be the real deal.

Same here... This phone seems awfully rushed since there was only 4 in stock @ my sprint store.

damn!!!
SAME WITH ME (JUST TRIED IT)... (opps, sorry about the caps lock)
hmm, http://www.samsungapps.com/mars/mw/main.as
maybe this doesn't work on the Note ll because it doesn't work on the note ??

I downloaded Samsung Apps from the website even though the Note II isn't listed (I know, I'm such a rebel), but the app won't get past a loading screen.
I tried again, killing the app and then clearing its cache, and now I'm right back where I started--updated Samsung Apps app, but still just Tetris and ABS.

Samsung, why'd you ship me a debug model?

yes I've been using prior since I've haven't ever had issues at all
Yeah the app is nothing weird.
This is not anything malicious, this is legit in every way.
Pleased with GuerillaBob, Samarai II, Smart Office, Tapatalk, TuneIn Radio PRO and Splashtop Remote (all seem to be working - I just opened to see if they forced closed)
Orbital force closes upon opening, which is a shame.
Nice, but how does getjar work with updates, can I uninstall the getjar app and the apps show up in market on my google account?

I'm not sure. The apps I just installed do not show up in the "my apps" part in the Market.
But searching and going to the apps individually in the market shows I do have them installed as it says "uninstall".
I'm unsure whether updates will come through. However the GetJar app is simply a portal to their website, it's 436KB as well.
I think they may add more free apps so keep the app installed for a bit longer - unless it bothers you seeing the app congesting your already-congested menu
Well, it's not that it bothers me that much.. But I feel like it would be nice having android market updates for these apps aswell.
More nice with 1 market than 2 imo

Yeah it's true, I get what you mean really.
I guess we'll have to wait for an app to get an update and then see what the update process is like
Would have been soooo nice if they popped in to your google acc on market!
I tried the GetJar app, and the one app I downloaded had too many adds so I uninstalled it. I also uninstalled the GetJar app. Now I keep getting the GetJar.apk file downloaded again. How do I make this stop?
Welcome to 2010.

[Q] SamsungApps

I'm not sure if this has been talked about or not.
I tried to search & came up empty.
I recently switched from EC05 Bonsia to CleanGB MTD.
I am trying to put the finishing touches on rebuilding the phone & when I tried to used SamsungApps it wouldn't connect, says no network connection.
Does this program no longer work under Gingerbread?
Or is there a newer version?
I restored a backup from EC05 (I know BAD!!) that's all I had for that app.
Looking at Samsung's site it looks like the Epic is no longer supported.
Anyone have any input
just keep trying, i had the same issue. and it worked on wed.

Thanks, you were right. I had been trying for a few days before I posted & it finally picked up this morning & wanted to update. Now it works fine.
Are you guys getting a bunch of what looks like full games in there but they say for SGSII only? I wonder if there is anyway to get those running...
Does anyone have the apk for the SamsungApps that works for our phone?

Yes, I can see several I'd like to try, but it wil not download them because it says for SGS2 only.
The game is in the market for the Epic so if there is a way to get it to start the download they should work, I would think. Samsung wants everyone to get the new product.
Anyone have any ideas on how to trick the SamsungApps into downloading these?

Ok, got it.....
I pulled the apk out of my phone, I am running CleanGB MTD 1.0.3 & the apk just updated, so it should be current.
I hope this helps ya......
Thanks, I actually had that apk but it wasn't working. So I thought maybe someone had a different one. Turned out I was just being dense and was trying to install it on CM7 and it wasn't working. Once I switched to another ROM it worked. Thanks again!
Angry birds & Seasons, and Riptide are full add free versions.
NFS Shift and Bejewled are 60minute trials (lame). Post if you find any more full titles.
As for the sgs2 games, I'm thinking a build.prop hack might allow those to install but I haven't had time to try yet. Basically just like how a bunch of us got 50gig box accounts for "LG phones"

Amazon Appstore vs. Play Store Updating Conflict

I don't know why I'm posting here as this is also happening to my Galaxy Tab 10.1, but for some reason, Angry Birds Rio and Pocket, are caught up in an updating loop between Amazon Appstore and Play Store. Whenever I update it using one market, the other market says that app needs to be updated. Doing so, will revert the update-needed status to the other market, and so on. I know it has nothing to do with each of the markets as I have tried originally downloading the files from one and the other and this still happens.
The weird part is that it only occurs with these 2 apps. All other apps that was updating using one market, cleared the update status on the other market as well.
Anyone know what I'm talking about?! I know it may sound confusing, so I can explain it a little better if needed.
Thanks in advance...
I get the same thing, only for Pandora though. Really annoying.
It burns when I Tapatalk...
I have had this problem for a long time. Here is the issue. If you ever "bought" it in the Amazon store, it will show up there. I have 5 apps that have this problem, and it is because I must have installed them at some point from the Amazon store, so they are on the Amazon list. There is no way (that I am aware of) to remove something from the Amazon store after you have installed it. It will always show up on your list, and therefore will always show a conflict even if it is the same version. It is VERY annoying, and I wish I could fix it, but I can't.
maybe someone else have a solution, but I don't.
I think you are talking about the "Available Apps" list in the Amazon Appstore. I am talking about the "Update List". I have never bought Angry Birds Rio in either store and this loop is found between them.
Amazon appstore is crap. I won't even install the free apps anymore. The apps I really like I repurchased from the play store.

Actually you can remove apps from the Amazon App store if you log into your Amazon account (NOT in Appstore). Once logged in, go to Your Account, then to Your Apps and Devices. There you should see a list of all your apps you have purchased as well as any free apps of the day you may have downloaded. Click on the Actions button beside the app and select Delete This App. Easy peasy!
And as an aside, I have had the exact same problems with updates between the Amazon and Google Play stores.
My quick answer is choose one market over the other.
Amazon and their penchant for DRM is enough to keep me away. The lack of support for e-pub format on the kindle is also annoying.
I could go on but no one wants to hear it.

Oh **** they added that finally? Nice
Well, I removed Pocket from my app list in the Appstore site and it is still showing it in the Update tab for Amazon Appstore. Even though I downloaded it from the Play Store.
This is so annoying. Shouldn't the markets verify the app version somehow and work with each other?
Wow! The new update for Amazon Appstore from today fixed my issues with Pocket. The only problem is with Angry Birds Rio now. I think it might have something to do with it being ad-free from Amazon and not from the Play Store. Anyone else can confirm that Rio is giving them this issue?
How weird that the update came out today. It's like they're spying on us. =)

I have had this issue with k9 mail forever. The problem lies with amazon using older versions of most apps. Unless it is a FAOTD I don't even bother getting it from amazon. Play store ALWAYS has a newer version

[Q] low fps on PvZ 2

Anyone installed Plants vs Zombies 2? It doesn't hang/FC but runs with low FPS.
I'm using X-Gamer+LuPuS and HD games like real racing 3, bladeslinger, MC4, Nova 3, Gangstar Vegas runs perfect. So I think it isn't in the RAM problem.
Should I upgrade to JB? I tried CF3D but no effect.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

hey got it now. I installed before version 1.4, which is third party because PvZ 2 wasn't incompatible in Play Store before. EA now made PvZ 2 compatible to arc (currently version 1.5). Smooth gameplay for now. My data was lost though. :crying:
Excelent news!!!
Thanks, i was about to unnistall it because of the slowness.
Edit: Still cannot install from play store (v1.5.25), how do you do it?

weird. If you search in Play Store but none was found, it is incompatible. I just searched the app, then install.

Yep. It is needed. apps from google play will not 'overwrite' third party apps. But, i lost my data.
If /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.game.pvz2_row is still present after you uninstall v1.4, delete it. I got a bug in 3rd mission that i cant plant peashooter when i tried to retain the data.

This is what i did:
1 Made a backup of the data
2 Erase Data and Unninstall the app
3 Erase the obbs
4 Reset and wipe dalvik and cache
5 Erase Data and cache of the play store
Still no use, its says incompatible...
Im going to download it from "another place" and see if it really improve the speed.
___________________
Yep, that version 1.5.252752 really improves the speed!!!
It not perfect (some lags occationally) but comparing it to the old one it is really good.
Still wondering why i cant install it directly from google...
Bump!
There is a new version: 1.6.257161
Does anyone feel an improvement?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy App Store, where is it?

So I have a stock unrooted Note 4. On TouchWiz I have two widgets, Galaxy Apps Essentials, and Galaxy Apps Gifts, both of these widgets take me to a page showing some apps, and then there is a see more Galaxy Apps link at the bottom. Clicking that link takes me to Samsungs App store. I can not find an App just for the Galaxy App Store though. Is there suppose to be one? Is there a way to get to it that I don't know? On my Note 10.1 2014 there is a Galaxy App store apk and app installed that lets me update these apps.
Going to the Samsung page to download the APK like I found elsewhere, there is nothing there for my phone.
Any ideas? Right now I want to use a non stock launcher, but that disables the widgets to get to the store.
As you indicated, you likely have to be using the stock TouchWiz launcher and place the Samsung Apps widget on one of your homescreens. At least, that's the only way I've been able to access the Samsung app store.

Seems weird. Like I mentioned, on my Note 10.1 2014 edition tab, there is just a Galaxy App store application that I can run. I tried to install it on my phone.. bad idea.. So is the only way to access the app store literally through a widget? That seems bad, cause I don't want to waste a spot on a screen for a widget....
The Note 3 had an apps store shortcut in the app drawer. Don't know why but they only included the widget on my Note 4. I believe that with the Note 4 Samsung has begun de-bloating their mobile devices and I'm guessing removing the shortcut is a result of that.

You can download the apk on the Web. That's what I did

Yeah, Verizon strips the Galaxy Apps shortcut out of all of their Samsung devices. You can get to it through the Galaxy Apps widget, or by tapping the three dots in the upper right corner of the apps screen and selecting "Galaxy Essentials".
Or you can download the full version of Galaxy Apps from http://apps.samsung.com/jupiter/mw/apk_en.as
Once downloaded and installed, you'll see Galaxy Apps displayed with the rest of your apps.
