Is there a way to make your phone go into the desk mode (clock.app) when its plugged into power/computer/cheap dock or something specific?
It already does this when plugged into a genuine dock, but there problem is its expensive and im poor, therefore dont have a genuine dock.
There is a way to add an option to your desktop in other launchers, but I'd rather it be automatic.
Thanks

You already have it. Open your stock Clock app and there is a Desk Clock tab. You can run it full screen too.

Just an fyi, docking is a sure fire way of wearing out your amoled pixels. Why would you want to deliberately destroy your screen?

You can use Tasker to create a profile to do this. And you can use Tasker to do so many other things too.
There is also on{X} which a fairy new app that allows you to make your phone do certain things based on conditions you set it to do

get some NFC tags, you can have tasker turn on bluetooth and launch whatever, you can then differentiate between car charging and home charging
Hey guys, is there any way to share a picture that you have taken with the watch (or video) The share button is greyed out. Why would i take a pic if i have to open my phone to send it? I would just take the pic with my phone. It's strange..

Used to work for evernote i think.

I noticed this app in the Samsung store under entertainment, it works brilliant to control your TV from your gear. Your phone needs to be near by of course. Just thought I would share.

Good good. Don't use IR remotes anymore. But this is definitely a brilliant way to use the Gear (or any smartwatch).
My hope is that Logitech will do something similar for their harmony app for the harmony smart or harmony ultimate. (or published a sdk for it). A big big advantage of the Logitech solution is that the remote app communicates via Wifi with a wifi hub which in turn translates the commands in IR code. Especially for a Smartwatch setup this works great. You don't need to point the phone because everything is send via Wifi instead of Infrared.

If it were available to me in the store I wouldn't have asked for the .apk but thank you none the less.
I just checked again and it's in the store for me now...
I don't have this either In the UK.. Maybe because I'm using a Note 2?

A trick, i'm not sure if it will work.
Access the Samsung Apps via the Gear Manager. I did and live in Venezuela and no problems, downloaded the remote from peel.

WatchOn need IR.
It never connects for me. I am running Null 11 though so I wonder if that has something to do with it??
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
Its working for me, but it always acts like a DVR and I can't get it to show me channel change, just volume and dvr controls. My cable box is also a dvr.
Anyone else install SlingPlayer out of curiosity? It installs and works well w/ BT tethering. The one thing I cannot seem to change is the app auto-rotates the image 90 degrees, so you have to take the watch off to watch it. Is there an Xposed mod or another way of rotating the image back?

You can set orientation with app settings (xposed module).
Would have never guessed this works well? Which slingbox do you have? I'm very doubtful that the stream would be good enough via BT tethering?
I am also running slingbox..... It will take a minute to adjust to the speed but after that it works great! Only negative is battery..... but really That's a given!

Worked great. Thanks! And thanks for the great ROM also!
This surprisingly works really well. Is anybody else unable to change the channel using the keybpard though? The right column is practically gone, you can't use the "3, 8, and enter."
Is anyone able to post a picture of sling player running in their gear? I don't doubt that it works just want to see the scale of it. I think it is pretty freaking awesome to have TV on your watch.

Not a very clear picture, but this was one of the playoff games from this weekend.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post that. Looks like I sold my gear a bit too soon. Probably would have kept it if I had come across this sooner. Oh well!

IP Camera Viewer
Since it's a similar idea, I figure I would just add this to the Slingbox post. I also set up IP Camera Viewer with success on the Gear. Now I can view my home cams from my watch as well.

I also got this to work, but come on, how practical is it If you have your watch, then your phone is close by and the screen size difference is huge.

I used it while at work to watch a playoff game! I was able to keep on working because my hands were free..... I would listen to the game and glance over at it when I heard the crowd or announcers speak up, Of course this is not practical for every job type!

Lol. True, but that could be said for must of the things being discussed here I do actually plan to use it when I know someone will be stopping over and I can keep an eye on the driveway while working around the house.

Yes.
How do you all get it side loaded?

Am I missing something or was the "Car Mode" option removed in the Note 5?
I used this when docked in the car on the Note 4 using a NFC tag.
I just got mine today and I see Car Mode listed in the "Galaxy Apps" as a download.
Are you on Verizon? I don't see that.
It looks like Verizon has removed the Galaxy Apps. I know the link refers to the S6, but I think it is relevant.
I will start looking at third party apps.

What dock/tag are you using? I'm interested in finding one with that + wireless charging built in
I am on Verizon and I have Galaxy Apps. It was on the 3rd homepage. If not there look in your wigits drawer.

Looks to be a flashable ZIP? Any way to get this as an installable APK for the unrooted/Verizon guys? Thanks.

It's not a flashable ZIP, just a few APKs that I zipped to upload as one file.
I have seen it in samsung app store. Also going in application list i see car mode apk still present. I have Note 5 with Verizon!
