Several new apps showed up in the Samsung Zone last night:
Video Call
Basically what it sounds like, a 3G-based video calling app. Unfortunately, it apparently requires a FFC, so all it does on the Focus is display an error message and quit.
RSS Times
A pretty nice Google Reader app
AllShare
Samsung's DLNA media sharing app. But again, on the Focus all it does is display a "not supported" error and quit.
FunShot
An interesting-looking (haven't played with it yet) photo editor with some "funky" effects.
MiniDiary
A diary app with text, voice, drawing and photo support.
I'd have thought OEMs would be allowed to only target certain devices for their apps, so either they can't and theyre for the omnia w (etc) or we might be inline for some driver updates...
I use Minidiary which is a good app... we cannot use vedio call app but i think its prety amazing specially cos we can make vedio calls to iphone and android phones even if they dont have this app...
i want to upgrade to omnia W phone, but i will loose all my texts and have to unlock all levels again from begining in my xbox games.. which is the only thing preventing me from switching phones..
There is also an Advanced Text Message app if you tap on "more from Samsung.." but it doesn't work either.
They should let the video call app work on phones with no ffc. At least we can see the other person or we might use a mirror.
Working dlna would have been very good.

I can't see that one on my Focus, but I do see the new high fidelity positioning app, which is the first new app from Samsung that installs into the settings screen. It has two settings, one that increases GPS accuracy by using other sensors such as accelerometer and compass, and one that enables use of GLONASS (for users in Russia).

I downloaded that app. Interesting how it installs itself in your settings. My question is, what if we want to uninstall it? How do we? Holding it down doesnt give us the option.

if you can sideload the xap this worked for me.
get XAPDeployX.exe
load Zune and have phone plugged into USB
start XAPDeployX.exe
load the app you want to remove from settings page
check options "force uninstall if application is already installed"
click deploy. at some point XAPDeployX will tell you that it found and successfully uninstalled the existing application.
right then you unplug the phone, just in time before it installs the new one.
voila, the app is gone from settings.

There is really no need to uninstall it. It takes up very little space, and if neither option is turned on, it does nothing.

Oh, I am. OCD is my life . I just look at it as Samsung providing an app to install a Mango setting that didn't make it through development in time for the official Mango update. In other words, if the setting had been part of the Mango firmware update, there would be no way to "uninstall" it without uninstalling Mango, right?
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the setting is automatically included in future Samsung firmware updates.

Why not use Mighty Text, Endless Jabber or even Pushbullet?
Is it possible to get this on custom ROMs?
Not working here also.
Endlessly tries to sync then says "Couldn't connect to your phone using %my acct%". Using correct account, it simply never syncs.

You can still use the watch without the ZenWatch manager... Honestly, you're not missing much. All you need to use the watch is the Android wear app to connect it to your phone. You can probably side load the ZenWatch manager though, but I don't have the apk the pm you. Maybe someone online will post it somewhere. Either way, the watch isn't useless without it. I have most of the features in the ZenWatch manager turned off anyway because they are battery hogs.
I agree. You don't really need it as long as you have access to android wear app.
I use zenmanager for customization of watch faces. But the watch is pre-loaded with faces. The manager just allow you to add different features ie, weather, steps etc.
But there are a lot of other watchfaces programs on google play.
The other feature I use was to cover my watch to avoid interruption if I am busy. But I think there are 3rd party programs that does the same.
I do use wellness manager to check my heart rate which works great.
I think you can do well with all just 3rd party programs.
Hi mate:
do you still need this apps? one friend on this blog send them to me (Asus Zenwatch Manager and Wellness app), if you are still lokinf for them tell me and I will send it to you

Too bad I still can't change the backgrounds on the watch with my Note 4. I've even tried apps like Facer etc. and everything fails/crashes/or resets whenever I try to use a custom background. It's mildly infuriating.
Same issue - Zenwatch Manager App - not available in my location
I know I'm not missing out on much, but I'd like to use the app anyway. Anyone still having this same issue? Is there a place other than mediafire to get the .apk?

I just bought/received my ZenWatch 2 today (2016 Feb 03), loaded the ZenWatch manager and Android Wear software. However the Manager app was saying "disconnected" and showing dashes for battery level/storage space. I also could not configure any faces and have it send it to the phone. So, I uninstalled it and installed the version shown here by "CSX321" which worked because it showed "connected" and the battery level and storage but appears to have less features. I wanted the latest version to work so badly I upgraded it after this version and it worked! Yay!
So perhaps install the version by "CSX321" first and then do the upgrade to get Zen Manager working correctly.
I have a Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus rom running on it.
Afternoon all,
I'm hoping someone can help me before I smash my watch into a million pieces ...... I've had the watch now for about 3 days and still have found no way to put apps on it. If I try and open maps or Whattsapp it opens them on the phone. I have little icons in the start menu for music, find my phone, Fit and Google keep but nothing else.
I've seen a few YouTube videos where program icons can be accessed by swiping the screen left or right but mine doesn't do that. In the instructions I got it said compatible for apps for Android Wear would automatically appear on my watch..... this hasn't happened either??
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
You are correct the apps will automatically show up on the watch if you have them on your phone. Try downloading "Wear mini launcher" for quicker way of opening apps. That's probably what you saw on the video. Android Wear 5.1.1 will have a better start menu and will probably hit the Sony watch in the next week or two.
Is your watch connected to the phone? I'm guessing it is but if you're not seeing wear apps that should be there maybe go into the Android wear app settings and click "resync apps".
Also you should be able to open apps by getting to the OK Google screen and going all the way to the bottom and click "start...".
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the quick reply, I can see everything now apart from a icon for Whattsapp, any ideas?
It probably only displays notifications and isn't actually a standalone app. I don't use it myself so can't say definitely. There's no standalone hangouts app either but you can still send texts through it.
Thanks, your reply makes sense.

You can use adb to install standalone Android apps. Android Wear is still Android at its core. A lot have issues due to screen size and UI differences but you'd be surprised what apps will work. Got a few emulators running. You can push any file you want to the smartwatch using the adb command adb push filename /sdcard/.
You may have to be rooted but it's incredibly easy to root the watch. Can get a lot of cool apps running by playing with the DPI and such. Although some apps (games especially) will kill the battery rather quick as it's not meant for that stuff.

Hello,
I've recently bought a sw3 bit i have an iphone and when i par it with my sw3 it's missing a lot of stuff like wifi, Bluetooth ando i can't install apps.
Is there a way to walk around it? Is it possible that the app Android Wear will be as compatible with IOS like it is with Android?
push app with ADB in developper mode.
A watch made to works with android will probably never works well with an IOS system

In the description for android wear in the app store, it says that the smartwatch 3 is not compatible.
EDIT: actually it doesn't now. It did when I installed it on my work iPhone last week.
Try adb to install apps.
To push with adb it's necessary to make a root?
Is there a tutorial to do it?

1. Connect watch via USB. You need to have ADB debugging enabled in developer settings.
2. Open a command prompt window in the folder where ADB is installed on your computer.
3. Install app by typing "adb install appname.apk". Substitute "appname" with the apk's name.
The app Works if the smartwatch is paired with an iphone?
