Hi,
I just bought the phone and I am still mastering the beast.
I finally managed to install Kies and I downloaded couple of Samsung apps. Everytime I click on Samsung apps, I get a warning saying "This phone is not supported by Samsung apps". I am on JF6 firmware. I was able to download but unable to install as the install options seems to be greyed out. Also, in Samsung apps, under the "Select a phone" option, I get S8500L and S8500 as the two options.
Can someone please help. I have the stock phone as is.
That's because they (stupidly) don't have any Android apps on there yet, they are all Symbian or Windows Mobile.
Amazing! (in a wrong way). Thanks for clarifying. I will download Android apps directly through some other way.
the only way to install samsung apps, is via the samsung app itself inside the phone
don't use kies
then the rest of the apps are in Android market
Damn..i have the same question in my mind. I want to install Samsung Apps on my phone
any news if is it possible to install samsung apps on a galaxy s running ics from teamhacksung??
still no ...

A new update is available for kies. Launch your kies on pc and you will be promted to upgrade
to the new Kies 2.0.3.11082_152 version.
As normal with any Samsung kies update, you may receive "network disconnected" errors while updating.
Just be patient. Upgrade process takes about 4 minutes to complete.
On the outlook (UI), there is no notice change. But maybe new drivers were introduced to enable to "not-yet-known" upgrade process to bada 2.0.
After installing this hotfix every apps are signed as free of charge (of course they're not, and when trying to buy any of them error occurs).
Doublechecked by installing previous version and this hotfix (as there is still no standalone version).
that update didn't appear into my kies until now!!!!
A request from persons who updated : please check if sp**fing hole is patched or not
Is the installing app just once is still in there???
Is kies more buggy now???
Best Regards
@mylove90
Checked, sp**f works like a charm. The issue which unables reinstalling apps is still there.
But reinstalling the apps works in KIES 1.5.
It seems the problem is in KIES 2.0, not the server.
oh ****
they are fixing bugs with bugs or what?!
i don't get it !!!!!!
i think maybe i'll hold and won't update to this useless update
thanks Qron for the news
Best Regards
Updating now...
It's not connecting to my SGS after the update
new kies version detects beta and custom roms. bad thing.
Send a screenshot of the Bug to Samsung tech support
I got email from Samsung customer service since i complained about the reinstall bug.
They have no idea that kies is doing this and therefore they have asked for screenshots to prove it.
So go to the samsung website then log in then go to my page and then on the left click my q & a.
Send them the screenshot and make your complaint.
They are adamant that KIES is not supposed to prevent you from reinstalling your apps paid or free so its good that they confirmed that this was not their intention.
In the complaint mail I sent to Samsung on 22nd Sept, I included two screenshots.
They replied me that they are already investigating the case.
Maybe Samsung has no central co-ordinating unit to attend to complaints of clients,
each country attends to complaints separately. Just maybe...otherwise why ask for more screen shots.
Well..in that case i'll give them a complaint too & make them wake up
Kies Devs aren't working with Samsung Apps Devs
So maybe Kies Devs are making bugs while Samsung apps Devs have no idea what they did
i hope i am wrong and they are all connected
Best Regards
I have nothing but problems with the new Kies. Couldn't find phone after update, then it said drivers didn't work anymore, got it working by reinstalling drivers again but now it can't find the phone again...!
Didn't think they could make Kies any worse, guess I was wrong

You need to flash to any full firmware of your region.
After flashing, go to admin mode, pre-configuration setting, and install the correct csc for that region.
Then kies will be able to update your phone again.
Best of luck.
After updating Kies to 2.0.3.11082_152 on my Samsung Galaxy S2 , DeviceDataService crashes , cant do any file transfers, ironically kies reads the phones contact data. Whats going on with kies ? earlier before this upgrade it was slow but used to work fine...
I am having a problem which I think started only when I last updated kies, it gave me errors that phone not detected I restarted the computer then finally got it detected but now when I disconnect the media scanner on phone does not run hence the following problem.
1. From Camera / video camcorder window I cannot access the gallery anymore. My gallery is on External 32gb sd card.
2. Custom ringtone changes randomly then again (sometimes) its back to my preset default. (internal sd card)
I have custom folder named "my ringtones" in which mp3 files are there to set as my default ring tone & 2 of the groups use custom ring tone so I can identify which group is calling.
Now this folder is on internal SD card & its there for sure but the default ringtone set losses its setting & change to stock rom default ringtone & then I can even see my ringtone folder from settings/sound/phone ringtone & don't know how to set custom ringtone unless it shows.
Any way to force the media scanner, I don't know how it got disabled.

After my upgrade to bada 2 OS on my S8500 I was installing some apps on the cell via Kies. While doing that I had launched Samsung Apps on my cell and it asked to upgrade. I selected yes...after the upgrade I cannot launch Samsung Apps on my cell, it just shows the splash screen and then exits. I think due to installing apps from pc and cell at the same time might have caused this. Is there any way I can change the Samsung App application on my cell?
Try with hard reset....beckup first ofc
I've loads of applications installed, so was thinking if I could avoid hard reset.
So I rooted my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 8.0 (TM310) and started deleting bloatware. I restarted the device after deleting a couple of bloatware and think I deleted a necessary Google app. I kept getting a popup saying "android device manager has stopped working" so I think I deleted that. Being stupid I never actually created a backup (learnt my lesson) and thought if I factory reset the device, I'll have the original apps back; this did not work and created a problem. Now when I try to setup the the tablet, the google part comes up after setting up WiFi and it asks you for your first and last name to personalise the tablet. Considering I deleted an app, it just says android device manager has stopped working and just restarts the part where I have to enter my name. Essentially I can't setup or use this tablet without the app so is there a way to actually get it back? I'm willing to try anything as there is no loss. Tablet is useless otherwise. Thanks for your time!
Install a custom ROM?

Go to ( http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T310 ) and download a rom for your region , you can flash them with odin . And this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789510 ) might help you too . P.S idk how to hyperlink .
Hello everyone,
I've flashed LOS 14.1 on my S4 mini. When I went to add an account (my Samsung account), I discovered there are only few options like: Office, Exchange and IMAP ..etc. But I want to set up my Samsung account to get the backup. How to do this ?
Thanks
Have you found a solution?
Not very likely
Like most Samsung apps, the backup is probably going to be restricted to stock ROM configurations. HOWEVER, if you want to install select Samsung apps, you can (PROBABLY) find the .apk files for them at www.sammobile.com. SOME of them WILL want to use your Samsung account to connect and in those cases they will recognize your credentials if you have already defined them before you flashed a non-stock ROM. You also will likely have to add / edit a statement in your build.prop file concerning ro.config.tima if you have tripped Knox along the way. Not all of the Samsung apps will work completely, since some features apparently just don't and won't work with AOSP based ROMs. Hey, you can't have everything !! Good Luck.

I am really happy for your reply. Yeah, I can not have everything as I am running a custom ROM because I wanted to stick to my s4 mini 3g.
Anyways, I am visiting sammobile,com ,but I am pretty sure that I can not edit or add any statements for the apk as I am an electrical engineer with no experience in android development, but I will try and get back if I got results.
Just FYI I tried this myself a while ago without much success. If you download a stock-based TWRP-flashable rom for your device and extract the contents you should be able to find the APKs for Samsung account, the store, push service etc. (some are also on apkmirror, if you want to try newer versions). The Galaxy store does actually work, but crashes when you try and go to the account page (as there's no Samsung account on the device) so you can only install free apps. The same goes for the Samsung customized versions of apps such as Kindle, it works until you try and log into a Samsung account. The actual Samsung account service itself wouldn't work for me, it appeared in the list of possible accounts to set up but would just crash if selected. Fortunately, the best Samsung app (the internet browser) can be installed on any device directly from the Play store, so you don't need any Samsung account services for it.

I understand now that Samsung account service would not work on customised ROMs. I have tried to download the application from Sammobile and it did not even show to add a samsung account. And in your case even if it shows, it will crash once you proceed.
Thanks for your reply.
I just got a Galaxy Tab S 8.4" AT&T version (SM-T707A) to play Pokemon Go on it. It came with Android version 4.4.2. Pokemon Go does not show in Play store. I tried Calcy and other IV checker apps, and they show as "not compatible". I need to upgrade the device to play.
But I also don't like the stock UI and all the bloated apps starting on their own. If I was to get a new ROM like Lineage on it, do I have to root the device first?
I don't think Pokemon Go likes a rooted device so I can do without the root. But I would like to be able to use a Fake GPS on snow days if possible. Any help would be appreciated.
After searching for a bit more, I was able to find a Marshmallow image (link below) and was able to update using odin in a Windows VM. The tablet runs very well now. I have been able to install the apps that I need including PoGo and Poke Genie.
