I did some looking around today, to no avail. Im looking for an app that I can use while driving that has quick links to music, calls, gps, etc. I found like 1, but it was really really ugly. Has anyone seen anything like this?
I just want something so that I dont have to navigate all the way through my phone while driving.
Search the Market for Captivate and there is a free one from Samsung called "Car Home"
Youre my hero. Ive never done that, I didnt know samsung had any device specific apps. Thank you very much for the fast response =]
I can't find this for the life of me, and tried various ways to search for it in the market.
I just cant seem to get it.
maybe its AT&T restricted?
does anyone have the apk for this?
FYI i'm using an Australian Telstra Sim, and stock JH7 AT&T
I'll probably be told off for this and accused of not searching first, I have and still can't find an answer.
No matter how many times and what file management app I use I'm being asked what app to open say flac, mp3 etc....
I've got my music app and that's what I want to use, nothing else and that goes for all my other files as well.
Is there a reliable method that my phone and tablet will remember allowing me to dedicate an app to each particular file.
Please don't advise for me to clear defaults as I do this then the next day or after a reboot I'm being asked again.
It's a lovely option being asked but it just goes too far, surely once I choose that should be it, period.
Regards,
tj
ps. If this is a common issue can someone steer me to relevant threads as searching has found me very little information.

I'm no expert in this but i suspect you need to tell each file type what YOU want IT to do and it should remember.
Unless you have conflicts going on.
I uninstall **** if it starts causing problems like this.

You can dubbleclick/tap the app you want as default when the dialog pops up.
That should work, if youre asking what i think youre asking.
Peace.
It seems fragile remebering my choice
Thanks for the replies.
I've always been aware of how to apply a permanent app to open a particular file but it seems pretty fragile. Within weeks I'm being asked again, the phone has always done this since new some 18 months ago.
Just wondered if there was a way to really make my choice permanent. This has all become a bit of a saga for me as recently purchased a Corsair Voyager Air 1TB wifi hard drive.
All my music has been converted to flac and put on this drive, I'm apparently able to select my music playing app in preference to the built in Corsair app but when I try the screen flashes and fails. I know this could be all sorts causing this but thought if I could tell my Note to only use a particular app to open say flac files that would solve the problem.
Or has anyone else got this type of set up that might know of an alternative app that can connect to the drive via it's wifi signal and then open the music playing rather that trying to download.
Or
Could I work with Tasker to correct the problem of not being able to play my music through my preffered app rather than being forced to use the in app player.

I think where I'll be going next with the watch is to learn more about tasker and autoremote. Anything that pushes what the watch can do really. I need to sort out share gps by bluetooth and get maps and navigation going. I think it'll be much nicer if I could use the watch to navigate whilst walking rather than the phone

i made a video explaining how to use the Fit on the Nexus 5. this also may work with other phones im unsure.
mediafire.com/folder/05n572epblf4v/Gear_Fit_Nexus
youtu.be/Sk0vsx6k-cU
download those files
install GR.gearmanagerstub.apk
then install gear fit update 1.25.apk
open the app and pair the fit. it should connect. you can use it like this but the update ads a few features like screen rotation.
now you need to get a samsung phone that is compatible and update the fit to 1.49
now you uninstall GR.gearmanagerstub.apk and gear fit update 1.25.apk
now install gearfitmanager1.49update.apk and gearfitinstaller.apk and pair your device. everything should be working perfectly.
i am also claiming the first nexus 5 working with the gear fit
Edit: I just found a "lite" version of s-health that DOES work. Here's the link
App: http://www.mediafire.com/download/hbycvq5br1qbbly/com.sec.android.app.shealthlite-1.apk

Thank you for posting this guide. I will try it out.
Do you also have an idea how to use S Health on the Nexus?

I haven't figured out how it get that working yet. It force closes right away. Nor have I figured out weather. But if you have a problem with notifications just go to settings > security > notification settings and enable it for the gear fit manager. Also still can't figure out how to change the time to 12h instead of 24h.

Scratch that last part. I figured it out right after I posted that. All I did was go to the clock settings on my phone and toggled 24h mode on and off.
Edit: I updated the OP with how to use an "lite" version of shealth.

That's awesome man. Crazy world, I discovered a very similar process with my HTC One M8 and M7. I just sideloaded the apps downloaded from Samsung's App Store onto the M8 and M7. Connected the Gear Fit and it worked. Only thing I couldn't get working was quick reply and alarm notifications. Just goes to show that it's totally possible though. Great work! I hope Samsung decides to open this up to other devices officially.

Yep quick reply and alarm don't work for me either. But I'm thinking we need the Samsung clock and SMS app and then it should work.
WooHoo!

Hey dude! First thread I've found that got things working more or less! Good job and congrats on your mad ninja hacker skilz!
Question 1: Where's the video link? I'd love to see it.
Next... I just went through loading 1.25 and pairing as you described. Amazing! It worked! WooHoo!! Thanks!
During the loading process my Gear Fit decided it wanted to update it's firmware over Bluetooth.
After the update, the Gear Fit says "Software Version R350XXU0ANCF" .
Question 2: Do I still need to track down a Samsung phone and do more upgrading for the Fit's firmware or do you think it's already updated it's self as much as it needs and I can install 1.49 now?
I did try to install the 1.49 apk but at that point things fell apart and no more pairing. I went back to 1.25 and all was well. I hear 1.29 also works.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk0vsx6k-cU&feature=youtu.be thats the video its in the OP.
my fit firmware is R350XXU0BND8 which i am pretty sure is a newer version because my fit works with the app version 1.49. if there is no option to rotate the screen in the settings on the fit then you are not on the newest version.
also im pretty sure you heard that 1.29 works from me in another post. that was a typo, as far as i know there is no 1.29.
Thank you very much. I tried it out and it works!
I can also install and open the lite version of S Health. But how can i sync it now? I can't login with a Samsung account. Wh i click on the login button, nothing happens....
Thanks again.
Wohooo, you are great. I could follow your steps.
I have only 2 problems:
a) I have no supported device to upgrade the Fit to 1.49 - will have to ask around in office if somebody has a supported Galaxy. Anyway, it would be great if we could manage to get the upgrading function working so we are independent of any special device requirements... not sure, what's missing here, because as somebody earlier mentioned: when pairing it with 1.25 the first time, it downloads a huge firmware update and pushes it to the Fit who afterwards reboots... but either it didn't work or it is not 1.49
b) Have the same problem with the S-Health lite - it can be started, but it is not able to logon to a Samsung account or sync with the Fit
Anyway, this is a huge progress so far. I bought my Fit today. It was released yesterday and only one single store had it on stock - when I found your thread, I immediately rushed to the store
Thank you so much for all the details you figured out so far.

Partly also works on Nexus 7 (2013), but I can't set up any notification with Gear Fit Manager v1.49.

a) try going to bestbuy or another store that has them on display. They won't bother you about it. The guys at my store were trying to help! And the firmware update to 1.25 isn't an update. Its part of the fitmanager apk. There's also a firmware update in the 1.49 apk that is different. Originally I was trying to move the firmware from the new one to the old one but it wasn't working so I decided to just go to bestbuy and do it with their phones.
b) it doesn't work for me either. Neither does weather. But I'm still working on it.
And I bought my fit when it came out. I got it at the att store. At that point I didn't even know of it would work with the nexus but I decided it would be worth a shot and if I couldn't do it or someone else couldn't either then I'd just return it.
Also to the other question about notifications. Did you try to enable notification sharing in settings?
Hehe, I am really thankful that you tried and posted. You were the reason I dared to buy it. I'm from Germany, so no Best Buy. But not a problem, I work in a huge software company and there are several of these devices for internal tests available, so I may get a grip on one of them tomorrow to do the update. I am so interested to check the sleep tracker.
Notifications works for me like charm. Caller notification worked immediately, for the rest you can enable the general notifications and choose all applications you'd like to receive notifications from. I tried it with WhatsApp, it worked immediately, even showing the text including Chinese characters which are tricky. I am really happy.
As I can workaround the FW upgrade issue myself, my biggest dream would be to get the S-Health app working as this is the way to check your data and statistics. I am happy that the big display also lets you read most of this data, so it is not a total show stopper for now. We must keep in mind that it might happen that we never get the Samsung tools working. They are using TouchWiz stuff and Samsung accounts. So Samsung also would possibly not being happy that people not using their devices (that might also cross-finance the cloud servers) could use their infrastructure and trying to hinder this.

Samsung should be happy we're buying their smartwatches. i dont know if theres a way to get touchwiz on the nexus, but if you could it would probably be possible to get everything working.
is anyones working with alarms set on your phone? i cant get that to work either.
At least I can confirm: having connected it with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Gear Fit Manager 1.49, it immediately downloaded a new FW for the Fit and now GFM 1.49 can connect to the Gear Fit and sleep tracking is also available now. Great!
would you guys say this is usable enough to buy?
Depends. For me it is. If you are not interested in alarms to wake you up and can help yourself by borrowing a compatible Samsung phone to make the firmware update and receive new functionality like sleep tracking, then you only will face one important issue:
you cannot sync the measured data to your phone, as this is done by S-Health which currently does not work. The Fit with its big display can still show you all relevant data and also historical data, so that is not a 100% no-go. But for the people who like to browse through fitness stats of past months on an app or in a browser, this is still a show stopper.
Hello people!
I want to address to everyone who can help!
I need an app for Android Pie with very simple but hard to find feature. Auto answer phone call from pre selected list of callers.
I have never thought that it could be a hard to find app, but my friend who drive a bike and already had 2 tickets for using his phone when driving asked me to find an app that can automatically pick up the phone when his boss, wife and son call him. First moment I thought I will need like 10 seconds to find it but, after trying about 15 apps I found that none of them actually work. The one that works on my phone with android 8, but is not supported by android 9 and we could not even install it. He has SM-G955U - galaxy S8+ and he updated his phone recently to Pie.
If anyone knows working app could be free or paid which support this feature I would really appreciate your help.
Most of the apps that claim they support it are outdated and were updated 2-3 years ago. We tried about 15 of them and none of them work. It could be simple app or complicated project with tons of features it doesn't matter. We just need phone auto answer calls when this feature is active.
We did it already
