I am unable to update the calendar app, I used smart switch and didn't check before hand. I have attached screenshots .Bixby says I need to update for features to work,and the app itself has an icon saying to update.
Ok, well the fix was to wipe and reload from scratch. I had went from Note 5 to Note 7 to Note 7 to S7Edge to Note8 using smart switch, and I believe that caused the trouble.
Just in case anyone else gets this trouble.

Since programs get updated constantly, there is a good chance something is changed, then you load old data into newer version of program and bug can show later in unpredictable places. I try to avoid smart switch and similar programs as much as I can. Contacts it's the only thing I export and then import to the new phone.

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.

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".
just installed new update cannot see what changed.??

I updated while running Null_16 all apps and Null working fine no loss of anything (Rooted stock Note 3)
I got the update through Samsung app store this morning. Don't see any difference. However, I did notice that two version previous fixed S-voice on the Note 2. The last update made s-voice worse and now with this most recent one, S-voice is again improved. Maybe its a bug fix? idk.
I've updated but... am i wrong or in "old" versions of Gear Manager we had Gmail notifications as primary and not under other notifications? I'm not sure...

Only an additional app in the utility called Sogou Voice Assistant, which is only usable if you are chinese ... However, that does mean it would be possible to perhaps integrate other voice assistants including Google Now at some point.
Other than that it might be more of a bug fix. I wish we could get a changelog though.
What I observed in the last update is the gmail notification rollup all pending mails when a new one arrive instead of showing last one only.
Took the update and now my gear running null 15 will not connect to my Note 3.

mate I had this with the last update... make sure you have a nandroid backup if on null_rom, if on stock it should restore...
I had to wipe cache and Data on Settings, Gear Manager to get to reconnect

GMail Notifications
After the update I am able to receive notification for only one gmail account. I have multiple gmail accounts setup and was able to receive notifications for all the accounts before the update. Is there any solution to this?
getting a notice/error
I just put nullgear_16 on the gear this morning, i had a hard time getting gear manager installed. I ended up using the earliest version i could find 1.2.131013. the watch paired and everything was good. then i installed 1.5120903 over top of it. I got the message that it needed to update with samsung apps. which i didn't have installed. so i found an old apk, installed it, updated it to the newest version. installed Gear Manager 1.5.121601 and now I get a notice that says:
Unable to connect to the Gear.
Connecting to the Gear is not supported by your mobile device, or your software needs to be updated.
Check that your mobile device is able to connect to the Gear, then update your mobile device software.
I'm on 4.3 eclipse, I don't know what it could be complaining about.
Updated to an MK2 rom (Eclipse) Works perfectly except for weather settings aren't available on the watch or Gear Manager.
Yeah this gear manager update is also broken. I was missing notifications from gmail again. It was nice for a bit and then stopped. I liked that I separated the subject line but would not notify on the 2nd email if I didn't clear the notification on my phone like atn did.
I really wish they would fix this foreclosed app issue when connecting to wifi on the note 3
The annoying change on this update is that once I get one email through Gmail, it sometimes will renotify me as soon as a new email comes in. So I could have it go off 5+ times from prior email notifications. Hopefully it's a bug.
Update also made me do a restore of my Gear and I'm running stock. It's a mess.

I wish there was a way to undo the update and go back to the previous gear manager version. Does anyone know how I can get back the USA gear manager version right before this new update this evening. I want the one that came out by samsung two weeks ago.
Also, my speakerphone is horrible with this update. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem
Like someone said this is a total mess!!!
So I just got my neo and am trying to load some apps on to it. I can load some such as the flashlight app and pacman but I wanted to add an rss reader like appy geek or feedly. Sadly, they say they install and then when I go to gear manager and look on the list, it's not there and I receive a notification that the install failed. I had to go to settings=>apps and remove the appy geek for gear app that way and the same for feedly. I have the apps installed on my phone and am running a GS4 with 4.4.2 and the latest Samsung apps from their website. Is anyone else having issues similar to these or know of a work around?
Thanks!
I'm having this issue as well. Anyone have an answer?

I am having a similar problem.
A friend used my phone to install an app from the samsung store. Now when I want to install the app it says view in gear manager instead of giving me the option to install on my gear 2. There seems to be no way to make the samsung store think it is uninstalled. I have fully reset my gear 2, phone, deleted my samsung account and made a new one, no change at all.
Super annoying. 5$ to anyone with a fix.

Same problem for me on kitkat
The app install on my phone but gets error after that to or when try install on the phone
Did you all mess with Samsung Hub? I know I had this issues when I uninstalled it.
I dont have any thing with name samsung hub.....
hi,
I have a strange bug that make me many times just disappointed about Samsung so much
I get message from Whatsapp. its a new friend. i press add, new contact, i fill the details in the contact screen. i press OK. i see it is saved on google as i wanted.
i go back and... it haven't been saved. I try to search the contact but no sign of it.
I tried another way, I add new contact from the contact built in app of the note 5.
same thing again.
been in a new study group, added all my friends, came home and no one added ...
if i wait a few sec after i add (before get out of the contact screen) or press edit after saved then i have a chance to keep the new contact.
it was a bug on the 5.1.1 ver and now same on android 6.
it is driving me crazy !!!
is it only me ?
is it Samsung ?
It was on many kind of Roms and now also on the stock as well.
and yes, sync is always work on my phone.
Please help !
Thanks
It has nothing to do with Samsung or with your phone. Just clean the cache in settings for Whatssapp then restart the phone. I have a note 5 also and everything is working fine. Eventually uninstall and reinstall Whatssapp.

Thanks for your answer.
clean is impossible while i have already had a full format and full wipe and i do it many times.
it is a bug i guess.
and what is the connection to whatsapp while the "contacts app is made by samsung and built on the google contacts database ?
Works fine for me. Nobody else seems to be having this issue.
Try starting your phone in safe mode and try adding a contact.

I just started having this problem few days ago
Happened to me 1 time but I just added them through the gmail contacts on the web and haven't had any issues since. Check the accounts on your phone, check the google account and make sure everything is syncing properly.
I have the same issue on MM Note5. Still no solution?
Ok now I've never had issues using multi window with my slingbox app but I cannot get it to work properly! I used to always watch the game on slingbox app and look at my fantasy team without issues.... Now when I interact with second app other than slingbox app it stops and goes to connect screen! This also happens while I search for opponent in my clash of clans game! It always worked before but same thing if I interact with second app it resets the game! This is frustrating the f out me so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated!

I also have this issue. I'm on Verizon. I used to be able to play nfl mobile and waze at the same time on my note 5 but the nflmobile will stop if I touch anything on the waze app. Same thing applies with nfl mobile and any football fantasy app (nfl, espn). Would be a shame for such a powerhouse of phone to now be limited.

I'm currently having the same issues. Would be nice to know if its just on some device or every device. Do you have a different launcher installed other than the native Samsung? I currently have Nova Launcher installed, not sure if that is the problem but if I remeber correctly when I first obtained my Note 8 I didn't have this issue. I just realized it recently, not sure if its because of the Update or the Launcher.
I was running the stock Samsung experience and had the same issue. I can't say if it did prior to the update though.

Same issues unlocked N8. If i open a game (Dominations) and Notes...the game turns all pink and it times out.
@On another topic - does anyone know if we can work 2 apps in landscape? I'm quite surpised that the note with its unusual long shape cant do multi window on landscape
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
I am also running Nova launcher but apparently that's not the issue! I have a feeling that the issue started when Android went to native multi window so its an Android issue! Apperently when Samsung provided the os with multi window everything worked! I could be wrong but it makes sense and I believe multi window came on nougat but it's just a hunch. Regardless it's really annoying and I hope someone knows about it and is working to resolve the issue!

I was thinking the same thing, but then was wondering why I can't find anything on the web regarding this problem. As if it doesn't bother anyone else or it might just be my device that is having this issue.
Yeah did a search before even posting a question and came upon this thread. I guess only a few care about this lol. Hopefully a solution does comeby :/

I have been running Waze and another traffic app next to each other in multi window mode (portrait and landscape mode works). Initially it was working more or less fine. It does happen that if the traffic app is the active screen, Waze would not show any updates on the map. Waze does show updates on directions as text on top of the screen. However after the last November update, only the active screen is working and the other screen does not update. I noticed if you have two apps that plays media, it cannot be played simultaneously. Using Whatsapp and something like Youtube doesn't freeze the media playing.
Anybody found the solution yet?
