Got the uae version and until now i did not get the update which has screen recorder. Is there a way to get it?
I'm wondering the same. .. It was a feature that I really wanted.
And the ocr app is missing too. Did all the reviewsites get a different firmware?

Any update/s on these two missing features (OCR and Screen Recorder)? I'm curious as to why this hasn't generated much buzz considering these features were highlighted and yet they don't actually exist on the Note II!

Samsung said that screen recording will be in a future update (confirmed by an xda member through an email from Samsung)
For ocr, download the app "photo reader" from the Samsung app store and it will add ocr to your gallery under "detect text" when viewing an image. Not what I expected, but it works ok. Google goggles or upload to Google Drive also give you ocr options.

Thank you very much for this tip!
As another tip I can also confirm that the "Photo Reader" App adds OCR as an input method to the stock Samsung keyboard:
Also you can use Photo Reader as a stand-alone app for following links, adding contacts, instant translation (after downloading free additional dictionaries) and searching text. Cool!

What I'm looking for is an app or maybe a settings where when I read a text message on my watch and dismiss it would be dismissed as read on my phone... Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

I use Hangouts, SMS only no Google Voice. Seems to work great. I see a lot of people like Textra.
Personally I'm a big fan of the new stock SMS "Messenger" app that comes with 5.0 Lollipop (you can easily sideload the APK); it works a bit more seamlessly with the watch in my opinion, and I like the app itself better than Hangouts. In terms of having the message marked "read" when you dismiss it, I haven't found one yet that has that functionality (not completely anyway) I've used the stock Samsung S5 Messaging app, Hangouts, and the new Lollipop Messenger app; usually they all behave the same way, when you read and dismiss it from your watch, it dismisses the notification on your phone, but when you go into the messaging app the message is still "unread" within the app.

The stock Messaging app on the Sony Z3 has the option to Mark as Read on one of the left swipes - and also to read the whole message thread, and Reply or Open on Phone. I actually prefer it this way, personally, as I might want to swipe away the clutter on the watch while also not losing track on the phone of any messages I need to return to later.
In some ways it's more like reading an expanded notifcation on the phone, then optionally tapping Mark as Read there if you don't care about it.
* Textra allows you to mark as read, and reply by voice only (not with WM, i.e. no Minuum support)
* EvolveSMS (I haven't tested this in three months) allows you to select up to three 'buttons' which then reflect as actions on your wearable
* Hangouts can reply with Minuum, and can view full conversation, but won't mark the conversation as read
Basically, in my opinion, there is no perfect Wear-compatible SMS app out there.
EvolveSMS allows mark as read and voice reply through android wear and has high definition contact photos.
I use it in combination with wear messenger to be able to view full conversation lists. However, it also works great by itself

Does it sync with contact photos that are taken from the Google contact joins? Or does it require the premium IAP to manage its own sync?

Yep contact photos will sync automatically with whatever photos you've got on your google contacts. I believe the IAPs are primarily for themes - haven't purchased any myself.

Thanks, I might give it another try. Last time I asked the developer, he said it wasn't possible (despite other apps being able to).

I have that one, but was looking for a text app, with canned reply. I found Google messenger. It's a ripoff off Textra just with fewer options.

Ahhhh Okay LOL
I can not wait for a working Philips Hue app. I am checking the Gear store every few days. A few have been added since but there are either issues with it working on and off or the Widget not working. I need the widget!
Also, a Samsung Multiroom speaker update for Tizen 4! I searched this up before getting the Galaxy Watch and it looks like there is one for Tizen 3 but nothing for Tizen 4 yet.... Boo
What are you waiting for?
Yeah, it's frustrating to see so many apps available for WearOS that are not available on Tizen. I have the LTE enabled Galaxy Watch and would love to be able to leave my phone behind at home sometimes and still have access to the functionality of my favorite apps. Hoping these app developers start getting us some content on Tizen! Here's my wish list: Alert360, Amazon Music, Uber, Lyft, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, Skype for Business, Google Maps.

I thought I knew what I was getting in to when I bought the watch but with many devs not updating their apps, the app list for the Galaxy watch is less than the already sparse Gear S3!
The Spotify app is pretty good so my local music needs are fulfilled but apps like Skype, SfB and Uber would be an excellent addition to the watch.
WhatsApp, I can do with the replying to notifcations. I don't need to look through previous convos.
Google Maps, I paid £1 for a companion app. Works really well for turn by turn navigation. It dosn't give you the birds eye view but it guides very very well and hasn't failed me yet. Start a journey on Google Maps (On your phone) and it will auto start the compantion app on the watch. Its called "Gear Navigation". Free app for watch but paid app app on Google Play.
Having Uber on my wrist.. Might make it too easy!
I think there is an Uber app for Tizen now
Having just transferred from gear s3 to Galaxy watch, ALL my apps (and they are a lot) that were bought for the gear (tizen3) now work for Galaxy watch (tizen4). There is a Phillips hue app in the store and an Uber app too also for Galaxy watch. You may need to change your country store to USA to see them all (there is a topic for this under the gear forum). The Uber app only though works only with a Samsung phone.
I would like to get a podcast app.
Spotify don't have podcasts on the watch app.. Why, just why?..
Audible would be another app, then I can leave my phone @ home.
I believe Tizen has a bigger market share than WearOS now, surely developers will notice?
I talked with customer service at Audible.
They have an app for the apple watch.
I sugested that they make an app for the Galaxy watch too.
They thanked me and forwarded the request.
If there are more Audible customers here, it will probably help if you did the same.

Is there any application that I can use for remotely turn on or off Wi-Fi, flash light, sound... On my Samsung device from my Galaxy watch? I think there was some application on Gear S3 but I cannot remember how it calls....

Personally, I just want an app that stores notification history so that I can access old messages. There is 1 old app called NWS that does this but it drains the watch battery like MAD (5% per hour just from this app).
I am getting so frustrated by the lack of this simple feature that I will either make the app myself or return the watch.

I can't seem to find how to change my store country to US. Can you give me a link or tell me how I can do it? There are two apps which I want from the US country store: Spotify and Twitter Trends.

Hi, please see below, this is one of the several threads on the subject, basically you need a vpn app on your phone to produce a US IP address and the Sim card removed:

you could use notistar to check back notification history.
install good lock or nicelock first.

There is no solution as you do not understand what is happening. Let me explain:
1. when you used GW with IPhone or any other then Samsung android phone ( like me previously ) you got only notifications. Yo had no active mail app in the watch
2. when you connect Samsung phone to GW then watch mail app apperas . You can work with emails in 2 ways:
a) notifications - like with IPhone. You may dismiss, clear notification. Email messages are left intact
b) thru watch email app- and this is really simple mail app. when you delete something it is deleted from your mail account
Maybe I explained you what is happenieng

Yes. There is a way. Enter Galaxy Wearable, Apps list, setting for e-mail app, disable email accounts. So you will only get notifications. You must set them properly in Notifications section. I think this should work but have not checked.

It is not possible, GW e-mail app is a simple extension to Samsung e-mail app on the phone. All important settings ( POP3, IMAP etc. ) are done on the phone app only.

Hi guys, is there a way to sync the tasks (reminders) on the watch with the phone? Is there no app that I can do that with?
The ideal would be to be able to synchronize it with google tasks, but I think that would be even more complicated ...
You can use Todoist or also myNotesInGear to sync task.

Unfortunately I have searched those applications in the market and they are not ...
The App name is "TaskGear" for Todoist and "GearHub" for Android compagnon. And "My Notes In Gear" for watch and a compagnon phone app.
