stock apps - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

Can the stock calculator, notes app etc from the samsung s6 be added to the samsung s10?

Not sure, but the worst that could happen is get "App Not Installed" message. Get an apk extractor from the Play Store and try it out. Upload it to Google Drive then download it with the S10.
Im leaning towards it not working but it might since it's a Samsung app and a Samsung phone

Voice memo & styler

When I save a voice memo from gear is there a way to insert a time and date to be reminded? I know you get a notification on the phone instantly but I'd like some sort of reminder if available.
Where is watch Styler? I have version 1.09 and I looked on playstore and Samsung apps but couldn't find the app at either place to see if there is an update. Even if no update I'd like to know where the app is (playstore or Samsung apps) ?
Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3

After Verizon lollipop, update Samsung apps

So on kk, I had the Samsung apps store. And I could frequently see my "purchased" apps and update them.
Now, the app is called Samsung essentials. No more "purchased" area to see if anything needs an update. How will I know if an app like s health is to be updated?
Thx

COR-AL00 AND Samsung Galaxy Apps

Is there a way to install and use Samsung Galaxy Apps, or fix for Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear), because GW can't login to my samsung account, so, I cant download any content...? When I try to download, , white empty window popup, and I can do nothing but close it without login. Samsung Health login properly to my account... Sry for bad english.
COR-AL00
9.0.0.184(C00E181R1P13) GPU Turbo
EMUI 9.0.0
Looks like Samsung problem. They will fix soon.
Same issue for me, can't find anything on the net to solve this. Happens on Nokia, freshly installed

Wearable not compatible

Yesterday I reset my Gear S3 frontier. On trying to pair it with my P20, Galaxy wearable wouldn't launch. I uninstalled wearable. It now will not show up when I search for it in the Play store, only the plug ins are listed
. I tried to install from my library and "not on this device" through Play store and it says the current version isn't compatible with my device. Samsung support blame Huawei and Huawei blame Samsung Wearable. In the mean time, I'm left with a watch I can't use, after it working fine for five weeks.
Any ideas on a fix. Or if anyone has had similar, I'd really appreciate a reply. Many thanks.
Hi mate. same happened to me with mi gear s3. if you have you bootloader unlocked, you won't be able to download many apps from playstore including galaxy wearable. download the apk from samsung offical page. it will work.

Need help cracking Samsung VR app

As some of you know, Samsung not only stopped supporting Samsung VR, they actually sabotaged the app totally by not allowing new installs to open.
Essentially there is a user agreement that you have to agree to but it requires an “internet connection” to accept but this is the part which was sabotaged.
I believe that Samsung took the verification server offline so the app always thinks you are not connected.
I need someone to look into how that verification happens and how it can be circumvented.
As a backup, if anyone knows a SPECIFIC version of Samsung VR app which does not have this verification process (sideloaded) please post the version.
UP i need too please somebody help
anyone who has a samsung vr app backup via titanium backup please share
Only the old ones work without Internet connection. The last working one is Samsung VR 1.59.4.
Check here: android-apk.org/com.samsung.vrvideo/
It also works with the Oculus Go.
Can anyone test this with an Oculus Quest 2 ?
this is backup from titaniumbackup

Made a little progress....
I was playing around trying to get Gear VR to work on my new Galaxy S20 plus, I tried installing Occulus from the app store but when I plugged the phone into the GearVR nothing would happen, so I Extracted all the Occulus and GearVR apps from my old S9 into APK's and then sideloaded them onto my S20, and now when I plug it in, it tries to load the setup program but it comes up with an error saying I have no network connection.... is there any way around this?
hi,
i found workaround
1. uninstall Gear VR SetupWizard ( 3.2.03.9 )
2. install version ( 3.0.21 ) from aptoide : https://gear-vr-setupwizard.pl.aptoide.com/app
3. run setup, configure, upgrade to newest version
and it works

Hi. We have tried to put the 3.0.21 version on and it has installed on phone but don't know how to get it to link with the Gear VR (SMR325) . Anyone with suggestions?
Hi guys, does any one have the full package of apps - I also got a S20 and wanted to try with my old Gear VR R325 headset - it works finr with my Galaxy Note 9 but is not rooted so cant extract the APK's.

Just tried. It doesn't work. It installs fine, opens fine (no messages), shows that gridded floor pattern (of very old versions of Samsung VR) but nothing else happens (no buttons to click on, no nothing. Just void.
Did you find a way to make Samsung VR to work on Quest 2 ?

I have the APK for version 2.12.7 and it works fine in my Gear VR with Samsung Galaxy S7 (yes, the phone still works too).
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but it's not only the verification server they shut down. The whole online video server was shut down. So, I do see a "No internet connection" message, but I'm still able to click the other buttons and explore my local media folders using this app, which is exactly what I want to do.
However I was not able to port this version (or any other APK I found) to my Quest 2. The closest I got was to install an Oculus Go APK on the Quest 2, but when I open the app and the "No internet connection" message appears, my Quest 2 controllers are not recognized, so I can't click anywhere to browse my folders. Is that your issue too?
Anyways, I'm in desperate need of a Samsung VR APK that works with Quest/Quest 2. Please let me know if you come across this APK.
I have the same problem with my new Galaxy S10+ now. I cannot accept the terms and conditions in Samsung VR because it says "no internet connection". I tried with SIM and wireless also, but no luck.
I have a Galaxy S9+ too, there i accepted Samsung VR terms and conditions long before Samsung switched off the verification server. So on the S9+ i can still use Samsung VR.
Even tho I noticed in the recent months that on the S9+ it also says "no internet connection", but probably in the appdata folder is a flag or file which they check if you accepted their ToS. If thats not there you cannot go forward to the main menu of Samsung VR.
So I see only one way and this would be you need a Titanium Backup from the Samsung VR app where the ToS are already accepted. Then you also would need to root the new phone that you can install Samsung VR with app data right?
Or is there any way to inject appdata of Samsung VR to your new phone without having root access?
Someone tried that if that even works?

Can confirm that restoring app+data won't work.... at least the backup I found in this thread not.
Restored app+data in Titanium backup and still asks to accept terms with no internet connection..

I just fixed it, the app checks a txt file in the root Android\data\com.samsung.vrvideo folder. I made a zip file of that folder from my Galaxy S9+, it works at the S10+ too. Just copy that folder with the subfolders and the file inside to "Android\data\"
This folder is avaiable even without root. Even tho I dont see any content in that folder with the normal file manager on the phone, but once you plug your Galaxy to a regular PC you can access that Android/data folder.
So when you unzip it, the path to the file should look like this:
Android\data\com.samsung.vrvideo\files inside that folder 2 files: "VR360Video_3_00_0_EULA_agreed.txt" and "MVRI.txt"
My Samsung VR App now opens without that EULA message and works in offline mode.
Let me know if its working!

This is working!!
Thanks a lot, never thought this would be this simple!!

Great! Yeah I was surprised too, that no one else found it out before. I almost deleted it while resetting my S9+ but then I checked that Android/data folder lol...
I must be missing something here. Aside from the Android\data\com.samsung.vrvideo\files directory and associated files, what other apk's should be installed? I've installed the oculus app from the Play store and it still does not launch when I place my S21 into the Gear VR headset.
The play store oculus app does not work with gearvr. It has to be installed by the gearvr setup app.
can someone explain/walk me through the process like i'm 5. Just pulled out my gear vr for the first time in a year and am trying to get it to work with my old s9+ that had to be factory reset.
