[Q] Samsung Android Apps Store

I updated my SamsungApps apps and found a banner on top under the tabs. It reads "Android Samsung Apps Open". Is Samsung opening its own apps store for Android? I suspect.
Not much apps inside right now, but if this apps store is real, do expect Samsung to add more and more apps into it later..

Samsung Apps has been there a wee while now
Similar to Sony Ericsson with their Play Store

I don't have this kind of problems at all. Maybe you should try a reboot of your phone.

Normally when I faced fc issues, I wipe dalvik cache.

Bada
Somewhat related - if you look in the terms and conditions of signing up for a Samsung account (the one in Software Update that is) the word "Bada" appears quite often.
It seems that Samsung account has been imported from there - maybe just the same update mechanism. But I would not be surprised if there would be created compatibility to run apps on the other platform - a bit like the rumored "blackberry running android apps".

[Q] Market Place

I have a GT and 5 minutes ago i tried to launch Market Place to see if i have any updates, and then, when i reached the Applications Section which it show which applications i have on my Tablet it shows me only Youtube and Google Maps, i have a lot of games and applications installed but only Google Maps and Youtube application show me the Market! I'm using stock version of Froyo!

If I'm understanding right, it doesn't show all the apps you've downloaded and installed, just some? I have that issue sometimes too, and I just fix it by turning my tab off and on again, and the list rebuilds.. If this isn't what you meant, I'm sorry. I hope it is, and it helps.

Right, the market isnt always right, but a reboot helps many things.

You pull out the sd card lately? If yes, try download an aplication who is allready in your tab and the problem will gone.

I solved the problem by downloading a new application from market, and then the list of downloaded and installed apps came back! And something else, before I post here yesterday I did about 3 or 4 times restart and again I had the same problem, but when I downloaded the new application the list came back again! Thanks for yor answers people!

[Q] How to delete downloads in Samsung apps

My Samsung Apps icon shows a "1" on the top right corner, which means that one of the apps has an update. It turns out to be the eBook app which I never could successfully install, and it turns out that I can't update it either!
Is there anyway I can remove the notification or delete that app from the list of downloads (in the Samsung app, click on the left menu button > my page > downloads). It has a history of all the Samsung apps that I'd previously downloaded, even the ones I've deleted. I tried clearing the cache of the app and force stopping but it didn't help. Even turning off New application notification doesn't help, neither does wiping my cache and dalvik.
I'm pretty sure there must be a folder somewhere where I can tinker with all these information. Does anyone know?

I am using Titanium Backup to freeze and delete all kind of apps.

The ebooks app doesn't even show up in Titanium, so I can't freeze it.

I do have the same "1"!!
tried to solve it but no luck

I had the same issue as you, and updating to the latest firmware solved the problem. I'm now on DXLC2, and SamsungApps maintains a history of what I have downloaded before, and also shows the ones currently installed. It no longer thinks that I've installed the Ebook app (which hanged halfway) and tells me there's an update.
If you're not rooted, the Kies way *may* work, as another poster mentioned from another thread. I don't know as I'm rooted so I can't verify that. But after you've connected your phone in Kies, on the top right of the screen, you should sign in, then go to MyDownloads. Do let us know if this works, as I'm curious too.

I think Changing samsung account will be final option.

UseTitanium Backup to freeze and delete all kind of apps.

I tried that, but it didn't work. Annoying, I know. Someone mentioned wiping the SD card, which I haven't done yet, and no longer need to since upgrading of firmware helped.
BTW, I posted in the wrong thread (Which is why "I wrote I had the same issue as you"); there was someone else who started another thread about this issue after me, and I'd meant to reply to that one!

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't work either. The issue here is a Samsung app that shows as having been downloaded, when it hasn't (e.g. stopping the installation before it finishes). So it doesn't even show in my app drawer. Anyway, I suppose the issue has been fixed, though I can only guess at how to clear the history of installed apps which still shows up.

I had same problem...change the samsung account helps me, hope it helps you to

APP's, management

Once that I'm a "noob" in Android, it's possible that one (ok, it can be more than one... ) of the Experts from the forum
publish what each APP manage on the phone?
Yesterday I turn on Navigon and it works but I did'n get Sat signal. Its started to work when I unfroze "Maps" .
I thought that App's manage the hardware independently, without need to interact with others.
How should I know with what I'm messing with, when I uninstall or I freeze some App ?...
Thanks in advance, and once more sorry for the bad english

AFAIK installed apps on android usually independent each other, except some apps which came default in ROM Or apps which designed as plug in or add ons.
You should remove them without any problem.

Soo... if we're not prisoners of the ROM's we are of the "exclusive" apps that works like a plugin or as a driver???

Google Service not responding

Got a strange issue on my Opti 4X
When i go into Play Store and try and access the 'my apps' section I get a
'Unfortunatley Google Play Store has stopped' message
I have reset my phone, uninstalled play store back to default so it could update itself, cleared the cache.
LG have advised me to speak to Google but if I can avoid that I will

Factory reset is my advice before that BACKUP all your data (contacts,pictures,sms etc..)

But I have done a factory reset and that google play store my apps issie still happens.
Its only on my Opti 4x
When I try on my Galaxy S running CM11 theres no problem?
Is it time to ditch stock?

I have the same problem and have read online that others have it too.
One work-around is instead of clicking on the button, swipe left to right, that will show the same menu as the button without crashing the app.

Yes, i have the same issue Google Play; regardless of what function it is presenting at the time (back, menu etc) the softkey in the top left corner of the Play screen causes the app to crash. It is very frustrating to say the least but as I see it the only viable solution seems to be to swipe left and right as mentioned above and wait for the next update from Google as it appears to be very much a bug in the app rather than any problem with the phone itself. I have a Nexus 7 also so I will check sometime and see if there are any issues with that (I use the Nexus mostly as an alarm clock and e-reader so it does not go online much therefore there will be just about every app to update including Google Play before I can report back).
I know my reply does not offer anything new or provide much help but at least you know that it is not caused by the phone and you can avoid wasting more time with backups, restores and factory resets etc.

Ok peoples, I have found this elsewhere in the XDA forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/lg-optimus-jelly-bean-play-store-fix-t2852146
I will give it a go at some point over the weekend and let you know if it makes any difference

I installed the Xposed module in the above post and hey presto, Google Play doesn't crash out when you press the top left soft key
