I found a few threads elsewhere on XDA, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask here in Note II land. Is anyone streaming Amazon Instant Video (Prime) on their Note II? If so, what are you using? I've seen the "install flash and set browser to desktop mode"method, but wanted to see if anyone had some reasonable success doing this.
Install flash player.

Then play Amazon video from thier website on the Android's default browser. Yes, you do need to setup the browser as "desktop".
It works fine for me. Though still have the same quarks that you get from any Android device.

Hi,
Is anybody running smart view on a tab s 8.4? I used my samsung tv in combination with a galaxy 7.0 n plus for a long time. But for my new s 8.4 I am not able to find any working smart view version.
Anybody the same problem or knows anybody a solution?
Thanks for help

I cannot believe that nobody wants to use a tab s in combination with a Samsung tv!
I have an 10.5" and a Samsung smart TV, where do i get smart view from.
John.
I seemed to have it in the past, but can also no longer find it. I have both a S 8 and S10, and neither view it as a working title. I searched high and low to find out why, and it seems that it no longer can connect to newer Samsung TV sets. The iOS app works great, so its really annoying that my brand new samsung tablets cannot connect to my brand new samsung TV's, despite the fact that my much older iPhone 6 and iPad Air2 can connect without issue.
I did find a lot of people saying SmartView was also killed off for WatchOn. But, opening watchon on a brand new tablet gets an error about not being able to connect to the server. After doing some more digging, it appears Samsung killed this app/service at the end of 2014. So, if anyone has any ideas as to what I can use as a replacement, then please let me know, as this is the last missing piece for my Smart Home controller
I cannot find an Samsung app, I thought it was called allshare, I did download an app called "play to samsung" and it does work with my tv to an extent.
EDIT: Try This.

Allshare allows you to send data from your mobile to your TV (videos, pictures, music). Smart view does the opposite and is sending your TV screen to your mobile.

There are 2 versions:
Smart View 2.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.companion
SmartView 1.0
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.smartview.tz
Just give them a try
None of these versions is working on the tab s. That's a shame, cause the only reason to have a Samsung tab was smart view and my TV at home. If I had known that Samsung apps are not working on a Samsung tab, I had choosen definitly a tab from another manufacturer.
I tried also the customized versions you can find using google or here in the forum.
Did you read the link i posted earlier showing you have to activate the feature in the setting menu.
John.
Yes, I saw your link, but I think, you didn't read my postings: allshare allows you to browse content on your phone using your TV.
Smart view allows the other way and is able to send the TV signal to your mobile device.
You can follow the TV program that way in another room than your TV is localized. That is the feature I am searching for. You cannot do that using allshare.

Remote Control works using Smart View 1.0 with T800 but nothing shows up in dual view. It works fully with T520. I do not have the 8.4. (I had to use my smartphone to download a copy of SmartView 1.0, send it to dropbox then download/install in tablet).
Same here, remote control works with several versions, but no dual view...
I wanted to ask which browser you use?
The Samsung Thing?
Chrome?
Firefox?
Other?
Your experience?
Chrome, just because of the integration between phone, Chromebook and PC.
I use Chrome mainly but at night I use Samsung's browser for its night mode.
I've voted Chrome. I use it on all my Androids, on my Mac and on my PC and the history & password manager integration between devices & platforms is great. However, I find the Samsung browser to be much faster than Chrome.
I switched to Firefox for a few reasons on my desktop about 6 months ago but mobile Firefox is still trash performance wise and has weird scrolling so I'm using Chrome. I miss having my bookmarks synced
I use Samsung Internet :good:
I use Mercury and Firefox.
Hi,
Sorry I am new to Samsung watch, Samsung store, and Tizen OS.
I did some research, Samsung Galaxy Watch Active could fit me because I like its stable OS and smooth operation. Before purchasing it, I'd like to make sure if I can find below app in Samsung store and install it into Galaxy Watch Active because one-button inconspicuous voice recording is one important feature I need.

(Sorry I have to put parenthesis in above link because this forum does not allow newbies to post http links)
Can anyone help me check that?
I tried to look for it at Samsung store online but to no avail. I did not know how to find app from there. It seems I have to buy Samsung watch as a gateway to see the app available.
Thanks a lot!:highfive:
I don't remember if it let you search for watch apps without having a watch. With that being said, its a paid app and if its in the galaxy store it should fine for a galaxy gear watch regardless of version

Secret Recorder and Secret Recorder Pro both appear in the Samsung Store app with a Galaxy Watch.
I believe that both the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active run Tizen 4, so the app should be available for the Active as well.
I would like to check out apps for my Active 2 watch via PC/Browser. Would like to browse for apps, specially for watch faces. Looking at them on the phone they are just too small. I'm having trouble finding it
When I do a search I end up on samsung.com, and I don't see apps there.
