Mates,
I don't know if the Kevo/Kwikset app folks are dumb, lazy or if there is some fee they have to pay to support new phones, but hear my tale of woe, with a happy ending (a minstrel on a mandolin is playing in the background as you read this).
I put Kevo locks everywhere when they first came out with android support. When they work, it is one less key I have to carry, one more thing my everpresent phone can do. They were announced as partners for the Gear S2 which, as we all know, is bull. The tech writers who said it worked were clearly Samsung lapdogs.
The Kevo website says that the app won't work on the Galaxy S7 edge but it did. Right from the start, right out of the gate. Then T-Mobile rolled out a patch last week and it stopped. Nothing. Bupkus. Google Play says the app is not supported by my device.
A little bit of searching led to the actual newest Kevo apk. I downloaded it, deleted the old app, installed it and voila! Back in business. The new version supports remote open and close, which I haven't checked yet- I bought an upgraded lock but it isn't installed.
So, there you have it. I have no idea why Kevo/Kwikset/Unikey didn't test with the newest phones, why they don't know it works or whatever. Their developers are much more interested in supporting iOS and the sheeple that use it, but it will work for us too!
where did you find the latest? i looked for almost 2 hours and the best i could come up with was the 0.99 beta in the google groups. had to sideload an app that lets you change your device to trick Play into letting you install it.
Googled Android kevo apk, found version 1.2.57.2p everywhere. I presumed that was the latest since it has the remote buttons on it.
yeah i saw those results as well, but none of the apk downloaders worked for me. several even said their 'device' was incompatible, which was the same problem i was having.
I'm in the same boat. I have an S7 Edge and while kevo still works with just the proximity and tap lock to open...I've never been able to get the tap to unlock/lock work. Even on my moto360 (gen1) kevo force closes non stop. Another problem I had was my old S5 was on Lollipop and it worked, but then Tmo rolled out the update to MM and now it doesn't even see the lock. I've had multiple emails to Kevo and the only thing I get is that "We're sorry, we have no plans to support MM".
If you got anything to help out with Kevo working on Marshmallow, then I'd appreciate it as well!
I might be a little late on the the subject but I had the Kevo app since the beginning from my Note 4 on KK all the way up to My Note 5 on MM. I rarely use my Moto 360 (1) to open the door but this time I did and the watch went haywire and kept showing a notification indicating that the app is no longer working. So I decided to uninstall the Kevo app and then proceeded to sync the watch and phone, stopping the annoying notification. When I went to the app store to reinstall I found the "phone not compatible"..
Well, decided to sideload to have the Kevo app to look and work the same way I had it before.. after several attempts I figured it out. 1st sideload the Kevo 0.9.58p apk, sign in, then sideload the updated version 1.2.57.2p and it will finally look and feel like the updated one on Lollipop. Sefar is right, why the devs were so lazy in checking for compatibility is beyond me but it works.!!

Anyone that's on Oreo experiencing any issues?
I got the 7.0.1 update today. I'm in Toronto, Canada. Hopefully most all the bugs are fixed from the last release.

Me too. Today get it. Germany.
Me too receive it (France)
Someone have issue with Play next ?
He's empty and I can't add nothing or i don't really understand how it works
I joined the preview program a few weeks ago when they tried to do the initial release and got the Oreo update yesterday. Everything seems to be working great here. I actually like the new launcher over the old one considerably. Now I only have the apps I want on the main page and you can reorder the apps in the app drawer too. The YouTube channel sucks because you can't put your subscriptions on there or your watch later which should be an option. Most of the rest of them are perfectly fine.
Got it yesterday afternoon in the US
Still nothing for me in US.
has anybody successfully used magisk with this update yet?
Oreo update made everything laggy and unusable
7.0.2 Developer images are now available.

I was one of the people with "a few issues" I updated mine last night and now I can't get past the Android boot screen (the 4 animated circles). Waited for 2 hours. I'm hoping I can get it into fastboot and FDR it.
New upgrade is CRAP, stay away and save your work
I HATE this update. It's ugly, like a return to Windows 3.1. There are fewer choices for what and where I can locate things on the desktop. I get one bar where I can put MY stuff, but YouTube and other commercial crap get front and center. I bought the Nvidia Shield TV so why don't I get the right to the real estate?
To initiate a restart, you now have to go to About and drill down to accomplish that. Every addon now takes 2 clicks instead of the previous 1 click. I also get the silly Android circles stuck at boot-up and I have to pull the power cord out to restart to get to desktop. Terrible, terrible desktop layout and menu function is haphazard.
I'm so sorry to have let this one into my unit.
I'd highly recommend avoiding this like a plague, stripped the device of useful features and introduced dozens of bugs and eyesores. If you don't have the update, don't get it.
I have issues to with Oreo.
My shield dosen't turn of the TV via HDMI CEC.
Model 2015.
Im thinking of rolling back to previous version.
Unlocked Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ owners in the U.S. can finally try out the new Android 10 and One UI 2.0 features on their phones.
Just registered myself. Are you in US with the update? Im curious as to what the turn around from registration to updating might be.

It was virtually instantaneous for me. Opened the Samsung Members app, clicked on the banner to register, then checked Software Update in settings and the update was waiting.
Indeed, mine is waiting for me. No notification because I have auto update off, manual check and it was there.
Must wait until I get home tonight
A few days ago Xfinity Mobile (or Samsung? I'm unsure) started pushing OTA update G965USQU7DTA5 (One UI 2 upgrade with Android 10).
I successfully updated mine SGS-9 but got stuck on wife's SGS-9 Probably, first attempt of download on this phone was interrupted (my wife went to store, and download was paused 'cause of no WiFi). But after that it's always stopped on 25% and saying "Couldn't download update: Unable to update the software. A network or server error occurred. Try later again". It's a bug in buggy Samsung software updater, I'm 100% positive, but how to fix that stuff without resetting the phone?
Phone is NOT rooted or unlocked; I googled for "offline update" instructions for stock, locked phones but can't find good, clear instructions.
Any suggestions, guys?
P.S. I've never done phone reset on SGS-9, how it works? Is it quick and safe enough? My wife's phone don't have sideloaded and/or pirated apps, everything by original, Google- & Samsung way.
Update: I resolved my issue by updating phone from PC, using Samsung's "Smart Switch" application - everything went smooth and easy.
P.S. Big thanks to this guide: https://thedroidguy.com/how-to-fix-...not-update-to-latest-software-version-1097987
Update 2: My question received no answers, even no attention but I still believe in people (generally)
So, after update to Android 10 on SGS9, my wife found what the new camera app is kinda downgrade: she doesn't likes new video mode full screen chooser (instead of "scroller") and some other small things. By the way, I clearly understood her: for example, on her SGS9 (updated via PC) video has, by default, bigger zoom than mine SGS9! It's kinda ridiculous but I understand, some parts of the software was written by Korean guys
My question is: could you provide some tips how to install stock camera app from the previous firmware (Android 9), without flashing back old firmware (I suspect what Sam-damn-sung and X****&nity will not support Android 9 anymore)?
Thank you!
P.S. I know how the google search works; I know even more - how xda-dev search works too but I can't find exact answer to my question, sorry!

I think it's more no one has xfinity. I was one of the few and first to have xfinity when I got my s8. xfinity is a weird setup compared to most phones. I had to ditch em when they charged me like 3 or 4 times in one month, it took me almost 4 months to get a refund.
With root you might be able to get the old camera working possibly. Or gcam I'm no developer so I wouldnt know the exacts. And I still run my xfinity s8 ???
I got call and text from other devices working on my Tmobile Tab S7+ 5G. It's super easy. All you need to do is install the apk below because apparently, all we were missing was the app. That's literally all I did.
WARNING: Just be warned as soon as mine connected, it resent a ton of old messages to a bunch of people in my history. They were all previously sent messages and I think it was due to using Pulse as a workaround. When they first sync'd up, the tablet resent them. Once that finished, it's working perfectly.
Enjoy
installed on my s10+, go to enable it, this app just crashes. but it did install and enable on my verizon tab s7+ 5g.
It's already installed on my phone by default. The issue has been with the carrier branded Tab S7 Plus not having access to this feature. Everyone thought it had been locked by the carrier or even Samsung but we're simply lacking the app. I can't help you with the phone but it's now working on the Tab S7 Plus 5G.

aren't you supposed to link it to your cell phone or something from your tablet? otherwise for me this is pointless to me because it just crashes on my S10 Plus.
Thank you so much worked for me on my tab s7 tmobile.
Guessing it would work if samsung default apps wasn't needed. Uhwell.
Yes, you have to use Samsung messages for this to work.
Anyone got the apk for Samsung messages? It does work for me on Message+ but that UI is ugly as hell.

I was able to get this installed and enabled on my verizon note 20 ultra as well as my tab s7+. However the messages and dialer app are missing off the tab s7+ and I cannot find an apk for them. The ones for the phones won't install. Even when sideloading.

I'm not sure why they're missing, aside from VZW being stupid. I have no idea if these will work but it shouldn't hurt anything to try.
I did this to my T-Mobile S7+ as well and messaging works fine. The phone app is in the list of apps but doesn't make or receive calls, although it shows when I have a missed call. I suspect there are other resources that need to be installed?

Any update? I have an unlocked ( originally TMO S7+ - SM T978U) I got the call from other devices ask installed and it appears to be active see attached. It does text.
But when I attempt a call it tries then immediately ends
Any ideas?
So I posted over on the other thread. But I was able to get all of this installed into my now network unlock S7 Plus originally T-Mobile. Everything seems to have worked correctly but when I initiate the phone call it starts the call but then immediately drops it. I remember some similar Behavior back when I was trying to do custom roms on my S7 edge. It had to do with trying to get AT&T to work with Wi-Fi calling and some other issues. But apparently there was some sort of mismatch between the modem and maybe something in the CSC. Has anybody had this experience where the phone calls are immediately dropped but with all else seemingly working?
Update to the previous post -- I got Calls from other device working but only when I am on the same WiFi network (and it would not work on a hotel network, only when I got home to my home Wifi)
Still would love to hear where the SM-T978U1 firmware is that has been mentioned here -- can't see to find it

why not use DIGITS?

It was a basic feature from the tab s6 had on default when tmobile sold it. Digits is an additional $10 with autopay/$15 without autopay monthly feature from tmobile. Samsung disabled calling on purpose with their agreement with carriers so they could charge their monthly charge version

Still won't let me install. Looks like I'm going to have to attempt to flash the unbranded firmware and hope for the best.

Did you get that software installed and also do you have a link for it? Thanks. I have the tmobile s7, if there is a way to unlock it before its done being paid off someone please let me know
I wrote about this in another thread back in either March or April. This works, but there are some quirks:
Your phone and tablet must be on the same network. This may not work in public networks because device discovery is unavailable (so your tablet can't find your phone regardless of being on the same network). And both devices have to be signed into the same Samsung account (not sure why this one is necessary, but if I sign out on either everything stops working).
Also, occasional updates of various apps in the store cause the phone portion of this to stop working. You should get a message when this happens that a default has been changed. Just go back to Settings -> Advanced -> Calls and Text on other devices, and then turn it back on.
