Amazon Alexa on Samsung Gear/Galaxy Watch (Alexa Gear) - Beta thread - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hello everyone,
This is the announcement of our new Gear (Galaxy) watch app. It is basically a full-featured voice assistant using Amazon Alexa voice service running on your watch.
Today, we will be starting a closed beta and hopefully if we can solve all issues, the app will be released in 10-15 days.
The application consists of a GUI on the watch and a companion app which should run on the Android phone. (only Android , no IOS unfortunately)
The Android companion app is released at:
Alexa Gear
Without the watch app, the companion Android application is useless.
We have a few known issues, and before a full release including watch side application, we would like to identify and solve all issues.. That's the reason of this closed beta.
The app supports following Samsung Watches:
Samsung Gear S2
Samsung Gear S3
Samsung Gear Sport
Samsung Galaxy Watch
If you are interested in beta testing, please see below notes for beta testers, and provide your information in the form of following example by sending an email to mrmrmrmr(at)gmail.com
Email Subject: Application for AlexaGear Beta Test
Email body:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected] (your email address used to login for Samsung Galaxy/Gear App Store)
Phone Brand/Model: Samsung Note 9
Watch Model: Samsung Gear S3
Phone OS: Android 8.0
Notes for beta testers:
Beta application will be open from now on and will be closed when we believe all required type of users are selected.
Applying for the beta does not guarantee that you will be selected as a beta user. We would like to keep the beta group small with enough sample of various watch/phone models.
Beta process may continue untill the application is released.
Beta download link will be provided to selected users starting later today.
Notes about the current state of the application - also important for beta attendees:
The app is not fully released and this is a closed beta. It may cause application force-close on your phone.
The debug version of the app may cause high battery usage on your phone since it is not optimized.
You may have to install Amazon's official "Amazon Shopping" application on your phone to login, if it is not already installed.
The current version of the app outputs the voice response from Alexa on your phone and not your watch. Voice response will be sent to watch in a later release.
We expect from beta users to share their experience in the form of following only. All other communication attempts may be missed (i.e. different mail subject or wrong form of mail body);

Please test on Galaxy Nexus for us. If not working I will request this thread be taken down.

The unique design of the TouchOne keyboard can be implemented into a round or square interface. We have tested that the TouchOne Keyboard fits any screen size down to 3cm/ 1.18 inches.

1. Dedicated design for small devices, proven to fit any screen size down to 3cm/1.18 inches.
2. First ever designed with round surface. Square and round smartwatches are both compatible
3. Finger-sized keys, certified for fat fingers
4. One-touch typing experience, easy to tap to type
5. Improved design from the T9 input, which enables user to learn it within a minute
6. Up to 10 customizable gestures are supported from the central circle of the keyboard. Users could make typing easier by customizing their own gestures

do we install the apk like a normal app on the phone and sync it with android wear? or do we have to use adb to push/install on watch
Only have received the phone apk, when will the apk for moto 360 be mailed?
So in not understanding exactly how this works . I only want the keyboard for my watch not phone
The current version is only for your Phone. Once you install it from your phone, you will find TouchOne App Logo, click on it, and it will guide you to start.
Check this video to test.

Agreed, you should excited the post to to inform readers that the product is not ready
XDA friends, please forgive our delay. Our developers are working hard to build an universal APK which hopefully can distribute one file to most of you to test. Please check the video below for TouchOne running on Sony SmartWatch 3 and LG G Watch R

Appreciate the tester who have given us feedback on the Phone Version of TouchOne, we will keep up the good work.
Happy Typing
It seems very promising, liked the video on the round display. Are you planning to support multiple languages and accented (á é ç etc.) characters?

Samsung Galaxy Watch Faces and Updates

Hi, there. First my questions is about Galaxy Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces. Do you know anybody how to get these watch faces from Watch 3 to Active 2? Is any chance to get it with upcoming Tizen 5.5 software update for Active 2? For example (see added picture) i need this one, maybe someone know how to get it? I have Active 2 BT version with stock rom OS, and i will not prepare to flash other OS. I care my warranty which i have. I am talking about simple watch face file (can someone say exactly how named Tizen files .tnz or how???) installing to Active 2 if is any chance at all? I'm rookie about Tizen OS, so if someone can explain please write here. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Samsung Watch 3 pre-installed watch faces until now (i have Active 2 Tizen 4.0.0.7 OS) is not available in Samsung Store, but maybe who have Tizen 5.5 can download in Samsung Store? I checking it almost everyday or in a week several times. So about checking Samsung Store i know
Second question about Tizen OS update 5.5 for Active 2. I tried to check in youtube about this update for Active 2 (original, not fake update). But i found just one video. Which by the way is not so good as i thought (too less information about it, is showed just new some features, too short video). I know that this update is released nly for German users in Europe, but maybe someone can to tell or to do video what's changed after update in Active 2 (i mean not only features which already Samsung wrote in theirs web site, i don't need this information. I know about Vox2 while you running and etc., i mean is any others new stuff in Active 2 after update like new watch faces, ECG which was promised (some people writing is, some writing is not) and etc. All details is interesting). Thanks in advance again
Any comments about these things is welcome and the best write people which have Active 2 and got this update. Becouse rumors is full internet and i read it all them. So thanks, folks which will help me to know more

Dear M51 owners, could you please confirm that Link to Windows is supported with Apps feature ?

Microsoft recently updated Your Phone app to allow single apps connection to Windows for Samsung devices (beside Screen Mirroring). The official supported list includes almost all Galaxy A series devices and there is no mention of Galaxy M series, which would seem weird that Galaxy A51 and A71 are supported but M51 not.
If you can't test Apps linking at least let me know if Screen Mirroring shows up in Your Phone windows app.
For Apps linking you need to be in Windows Insider Release Preview channel at least.
I would really appreciate your input as this is a major factor in my buying decision.
Thank you !
