Galaxy App Store won't install - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had downloaded the galaxy app store from the web and it worked fine. Since the lollipop update the galaxy app store had disappeared and when I tried to install the app it would say unable to install, any one else have this issue? Or a fix to get the galaxy app store?

So odd. Same issue. Not sure how to update my galaxy apps like snote and shealth

I may be wrong but I think we're being required to just wait for them to notify us about updates. There's a way to check for an update in S-Health settings but that's the only one I found.

You can access the Samsung Galaxy Apps Store via the widget Galaxy Essentials.
Search for SNote and SHealth/SHealth services and update.

Make sure you're using the TouchWiz launcher so you can access the Samsung widgets. S-Health can be updated within the app itself.
Look for the “check for updates" option in the settings menu.

Go to the APPS folder and hit the three dots (menu) in the upper right corner, you will find Galaxy Essentials there.

After doing more research I called a Samsung number for galaxy apps and found that this is a Verizon issue (aka Verizon blocked the full app store) but it seems to be resolved. They gave me a link to follow which worked to redownload and install successfully this time. The link is posted below for anyone who needs it:

Help: Market enabler for installing apps which say 'not supported in your country'

I've Galaxy nexus, and the market is updated to Play store (latest android market). I've Codename Android ICS version installed. Need help installing apps from Play store which say "Not supported in your country". I installed 'Market enabler', and pointed it to T-mobile US, Verizon US, but still no use. Can someone please help me with this?
Having the same issues here ..
You should probably email the app creator instead of asking here...
I was asking if there's any alternative for market enabler which works with Play store...plz suggest
theres no alternative to that just yet...
if you really just want to uninstall apps just do it thru settings > apps ot download titanium backup and uninstall them from there

It worked for actually buying the apps ?

to purchase apps you need to have a Google wallet account registered somewhere that actually supports purchasing apps from the market.

Hi I have a question following what you said. I have a friend who wants to buy a app but he can't do it in his country. He said he found the .apk but somehow it still could not work. So I was thinking maybe he needs Market enabler. If he has it and I buy the app and give him the .apk file, could he then install the app?
Thanks

Google Wallet not updating to the latest version

Hello everyone,
I noticed the version on my Nexus 7 is 1.1-R67-v13 but the one in Play Store is 1.5-R75-v6.
Play Store on my device doesn't show any update available for that. Please help.

here is the latest APK
Wallet 1.5-R75-v6
Thank you very much, I was able to update the app through web-based Play Store despite saying "The app is not compatible with your device".
Oh no, Right now whenever I try to open the app it returns the "Not supported" error. It says "Unfortunately Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network"
How is this possible? It was working fine 3 days ago.
Where are you located?
Have you tried updating the app through the Nexus 7?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ajor-credit-and-debit-cards-goes-cloud-based/
Go there. There's link to the play store to update through there or get the apk through a few mirrors, which I think are still ok. Maybe clear data and/or reinstall?
I wasn't actually able to update my wallet either, even when I was on Stock. I live in the US as well, so region shouldn't be an issue.
Yeah region isn't causing problem, The weird thing is that I hard reset my Nexus 7 and now the Wallet icon is disappeared. But I could update it through the web-based Play Store. The Google Play Magazines' icon is gone too but the application is installed because I can see it from Airdroid. Anyone?
[EDIT]: Realized I disabled the app through wallet.google.com before hard resetting. Now I can't find any where to re-enable it.
Well mine is the latest version, but now says device not supported even if I unroot it.

Does anyone have a modified version for this device yet that works with root? I've searched a little for it and can't find one specific for a rooted N7 yet.... thanks in advance and one with a link in the right direction!

[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

I got it on the web too. I think it's apps.Samsung.com
Edit: they changed that page. Idiots.

How please tell me!!
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.

Problem: S Note

After flashing CM14.1 for my device sm-p605, S Note is no more available and can not be installed from play store. Does anyone know a modded S Note application that is compatible with CM14.1, or any other way to re-install it, please?
With the Galaxy Store app, and probably a Samsung account, maybe. But i want to stay clear from Samsung stuff and their lousy support.
Edit: Nope. S Note IS in Playstore! But I checked this with my S5(6.0.1)

I know it is there, but it still not compatible with the device after the cm14.1 flash. Even when I downloaded it as an apk file then installed it, it didn't start and continued to stop whenever I start it.
Then it's for Touchwiz roms only...

Question: Can I update Samsung Apps in the Google Play Store Instead of Galaxy Store?

Hi Everyone,
I've been searching the site and online for an answer, but no luck.
I have the Galaxy S20+, but this is really a question that pertains to all Galaxy phones. A lot of the Samsung phone's native apps (Camera, Gallery, etc.) will have a "N" icon in Settings, telling you there is a new update for the app that you can install. For this, you have to go through the Galaxy Store. I have disabled access to the store and most other Samsung apps I don't use (Bixby, etc.) because I don't want to sign up for anything Samsung and don't want to create an account with them since I already have my Google account attached to the phone.
Now, going to the Google Play store from the the Camera or Gallery apps, it shows that I have them installed and even allows me to open the app from their store. But unlike other apps that I actually downloaded from Google Play, it won't give me the option to update from Google. It just lets me open the app.
So my question in short is can I, or how can I, update these Samsung apps through the Google Play Store instead of the Galaxy Store? If they show up in the Google Play Store, there must be a way since they are linked.
Side note, I can't uninstall most apps (especially the Camera and Gallery apps) and them re-download them from Google Play, in case anyone was curious.
Any direction or help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
I did an update to the Samsung Members app in the Play Store just the other day after originally installing it via the Galaxy Store (S20U).
I know some of the Samsung apps appear on the Galaxy Store before they reach the Play Store and for apps I've checked I have both Uninstall and Open buttons in both stores. Don't see why it wouldn't be possible for certain apps.

Interesting. I just checked and I don't have the Samsung Members app installed to compare. But like you said as well, it should be possible.
Hopefully someone here knows how?
Just use samsung app store..

Short answer: Yes and no.
As you discovered, some Samsung apps are available in the Google Play Store. Those can be updated via the Play Store. The other Samsung apps must be updated via Samsung Galaxy Store or sideloaded (the best source is Samsung apk mirror).
Having a Samsung account doesn't force you to use their apps. I have a Samsung account, but I disabled all of their apps except for Calculator, Galaxy Wearable, Good Lock, My Files, and One Hand Operation+, and having a Samsung account doesn't affect my battery or usage habits whatsoever.

Thanks everyone.
Sublimaze, I think this is the most helpful answer. Thanks. I have a couple of follow-up questions from your response:
- I know a little about sideloading, but I'm not fully versed. But say I download the Samsung Camera and Gallery apps from Apkmirror, how do I install them if my Galaxy S20+ device doesn't let me uninstall Camera and Gallery? In the settings, I can't even disable them (it's greyed out). Maybe these two app examples are exceptions and I can't do anything about it? I will say many (if not all) of the Samsung apps I see on my device do not give me the option to disable or uninstall
- When you sideload an app, how do you receive updates or update the app in the future? Is it a one-and-done situation, or will I be able to do updates on Google Play moving forward? Or, will I be stuck and never be able to do updates, with the only way being is to just keep installing newer versions when they come out on Apkmirror?
- And finally, is Apkmirror reliable?
And thanks for clarifying the bit on the Samsung accounts.

Samsung app store is far more reliable compared to apkmirror.

That makes sense. I think what I'm just going to have to do is just tough it out and use the Samsung Store to updates the ones I can only do through there, then revoke permissions to the Samsung Store app after I'm done. Seems like the safest way to go.
Thanks.
