C-NET review up - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones...05-6452_7-35117983.html?tag=TOCcarouselMain.0
first actual review of the AT&T model I have seen!

Good find.
Wait though, the AT&T version doesn't have S-Planner? Anyone heard this yet? Do you think it will be available in the market after we buy? That was really one of the cooler/features apps for the Note.
From the review:
The European version of the Note is home to S-Planner and S-Choice, which are two other S-Pen apps.

What are the stand out features of these apps? I see that u can add notes to the calander from S-note, what does S-choice do(edit:apps made for the pen, the article says
Samsung has programmed a pair of memo apps to work with the S-Pen, and is also encouraging other developers to create their own compatible apps as well. There will be about 20 of these apps at launch.

Im sure someone will port them eitherway.

S Choice is basically the app store for S-pen-enabled apps which there aren't many right now so it's not huge deal, although the S Planner was a far more functional/usable calendar than the native TouchWiz calendar just by layout alone.
Hopefully we'll see a port or it will be an optional download. Still can't really see why they would remove it though, especially after all the marketing they did behind it.

I saw a video of the ATT model and the calendar app looks to be the S planner app. At least it looked identical in the video.

Facebook kind of app optimized for Android tablet, here it is!

"Friend Me"
See if it does work on GT 10.1
nice find! it's not perfect, but it works better than the official facebook app(which is really embarrassing for facebook)
this looks great!
Not bad, But It would make sense for Facebook to add tablet support these days.
the ipad is just about to get one soon... so hopefully that means one for honeycomb as well

Can anyone post the apk? Thanks!
fb too busy for apps
facebook is too busy trying to sell users information and invade their privacy instead of developing apps for ipad and honeycomb
u can DL it from Andriod market for free
I really like it so far. I haven't tried the official facebook app yet but the layout of this one is really nice. Only gripe is that I can't seem to find the notifications.

I don't like how clicking on a friends name does not bring to to their profile. I don't wanna have to search for a friend that just posted on my wal
Agree deleted app
If this doesn't quite work for you, TweetDeck works fantastic for basic functions. No liking individual comments, and I'm not sure how it handles pictures, and there's no chat, but it scales nicely and the app is solid. Notifications too. You do need to make a Twitter account to use it, but it's a small inconvenience until Facebook gets their act together.

[APP] FBM - The best Faceboook client I've used

I wanted to share an app I found. It's free on the market (there's also a donate version). It's an incredibly smooth Facebook client. It has a nice UI and notifications (with a wide range of refresh intervals). Best of all, it seems really light on battery. In my opinion, it's worlds ahead of anything else available. Let me know what you think.

Hmmm... I don't allow "anything" permissions to do anything on or with my Facebook. If you choose "Allow None" it puts you in a loop consistently asking you for the same permissions. Just not going to happen with me. I'll stick with the standard one.
Why does this app look so close to the official app? I mean REALLY close.

It's modeled after the mobile website. The official app only recently made this change.

Haha after googling the package name this is the first thing that popped up. This is actually my app so thanks!
The app FBM is just a wrapper for "touch.facebook.com" that has been tweaked and had a few additional features added. I've actually just published an update which will hopefully fix the notifications bug (which have been a bit intermittent for some users). I still have a fair bit of work to do with the photo uploading and sharing but unfortunantly due to work I don't get to devote nearly as much time as I would like to towards it.
@Cozmo1 - the permissions thing is a little annoying and one day I'll get round to tidying it up. I added that loop in when I added the "Upload Photo" feature so that I didn't have to deal with different permission sets between users. Some of the permissions are not even used such as the access data 24/7 one but when I first wrote it I thought I might use it.
Anyway, thanks for the mini-review Simba501 If anyone has any issues just PM me.
I suppose I'll give it a go. Thanks for sharing
Hi
I can not push the button for upload a picture.
Is this a bug?
Yes this is a nice Facebook app

Groupcast support on S III and other devices

Hi,
I learnt the Groupcast feature today by chance and loved it. Me and my wife have S III, it's very useful for us. However, we also have other Samsung mobile devices (Galaxy S, Galaxy W and Galaxy Note) around and it would be great to use this feature all over these devices. Is there any chance to add the Allshare Play app to these older devices ? (At least the Note)
Has anyone tried it ?
Thx.
no ideas ?
Guys,
I really would like to ask this again since it's a nice feature and we'd like to see it on other devices as well. Am I wrong ?
I believe the note can use the allshare app... Don't know for sure,haven't tried...

I went to a Samsung event this week and saw this too. Pretty cool. Not sure what all you need to make this work, but I know it has NOT been working on my HTC EVO 4G LTE even with the ported TouchWiz 4/NatureUI launcher. Of course it probably would help if I was running a Deodexed ROM. I will try this again after I flash one of those and see if the ported SecLauncher2.apk provides enough of a framework to get any of these S-*/AllShare features to work.
From what I can tell you need at least/some or all of the following:
AllshareDMC.apk
AllshareMediaServer.apk
AllSharePlay.apk
AllshareService.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
SecMediaProvider.apk [?]
Try backing up the originals of those files on your ICS Note and then porting them.
I don't think these features work on GB as they are dependent on WiFi direct and I'm guessing Sammy's implementation for that is probably different on pre-GSIII devices.
Hope that helps!
I came across this app called Tapestry, that essentially does the same thing as Group Cast, but much much easier to use. My friends have the GSIII, and to setup a Group Cast, password and all, takes 15 clicks. With Tapestry, it only takes 3! Moreoever, it works on any Android device, not just GSIII's, so you can enjoy the experience with all your Android friends. It only supports pictures for now, but that's pretty much what I use it for anyways. Lastly, the coolest feature that Tapestry has that Group Share doesn't have it that in Tapestry, you have synchronized pinch/zoom/panning, and also direct Peer-to-peer download by swiping down on the viewer screen you immediately download the picture onto your phone! What a cool way to share photos! You can check it out here.

[Q] AOSP ROMS and the S Pen.

So, I'm absolutely in love with the Beanstalk 4.4.2 ROM for our phone. Problem is, I bought the Note 3 specifically for work because of how easy it is to take notes on the fly. What I'm looking for is a way to integrate Air Command and/or Action Memo into a custom AOSP ROM. Preferably a way to at least have Action Memo pop up when I remove the S Pen.
I've done a little Google searching and I haven't quite found an answer I'm satisfied with. I was hoping the community might be able to offer a solution or at least maybe we can get the ball rolling on a way to integrate this into future ROMs.

There is no way to use Samsung apps without touch wiz framework. .. Best you can do is to find a couple apps from play store to replace watch on will work but that is about it

GMD launcher launches apps or special functions when removing the spen. But its nowhere near as useful as the set up note 3 touchwiz roms. look up gmd launcher
here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodmooddroid.gesturecontroldemo
note buddy also works. you can set it to open a particular app once the pen is removed.

What are the must have apps for this?

This is my first tizen device. I know many of you have had the other watches. What are some good apps for this?

This all depends on what you want your watch to do. There are alot of apps but most are not formatted for our Gear S they are more of gear 2 apps that many/many not work for our phone. Apps will increase soon.

There are a TON of trolls out for the Gear S so thicken up that skin. In the meantime, here's a great video that is relevant to your question:
http://youtu.be/vebsY_puqmY
You're in good hands. Ignore the haters.
BTW, is there any tunein app support Gear S?
many thanks.
I found these useful
There is a lot of space on the Gear S and if you are not planning to add loads of music and photo's you can pretty much download all the free apps and try them out. But what I have installed and find useful are the following:
OPERA MINI Web Browser - ESSENTIAL!
GEAR NAVIGATOR - Very impressive navigation app with a gorgeous interface. Unlike the free HERE app, this can be used for driving. It also has street view, so ideal for walking directions too. It's a paid app but quite cheap
MY NOTES - really good for checklists and notes, synchronised with a nice looking companion app on the phone
SUPATIMER - Get 6 separate timers running on a cool interface
TIMER - Just one convenient timer if you don't like SUPATIMER
TRAVEL TRANSLATOR - Impressive voice recognition translator with loads of different languages
WEARABLE WIDGETS - Show any widget from your phone onto the Gear (Ignore any information that says you have to use the Wearable Widget Clock - the Widget Screen version does work)
COMPASS - Very cool and accurate compass
APPYGEEK - All latest tech news displayed perfectly on the small screen
VOICE MEMO - Very cool voice recorder and speech to text function
GEAR TASKS - Syncs with various different task accounts
FIND MY CAR - Haven't tested it completely yet but seems to save your parking position at least.
CALENDAR PRO - A paid app but definitely the best calndar app for the Gear
DOG WHISTLES - Just for fun this one, but drive people around you (and dogs of course) insane with this.
As for watch faces, I wouldn't bother with most of them as they just looked lost on the big 2" screen. But I did buy BIG CLOCK LAUNCHER which is cool for a big digital clock with a lot of customisation, with up to eight quick launch shortcuts.
I also downloaded DESK CLOCK, which I use as a more discreet clock and you can change the colours on that too.
Find these apps in the Samsung Gear Store, only accessible via Gear Manager.

Becareful thinking this, we thought the same thing with the galaxy gear and the gear 2/gear neo. ........... Still waiting for that amazing app. lol. The only app i think is really cool is the radar watch which will be the first app i get if its avail.
We also noted one thing and i hope this isn't the case with the gear s, in that. The amount of apps you had access was dependent on the "phone device aka Note 3, note 4, s3, s4" all had different apps or one had more then the other. So my note 3 gave me access to some apps i still can't see on my note 4. Including the killer update for flesky which was super cool on my note 3 and gear 2 but not avail for note 4 and gear 2? weird.

I have a Note 4 and Gear S the apps are about the same I have Flesky messenger on my gear S . Some of my gear 2 things are available for gear S but are not formatted for it. Gear S is still new and they had the "gear app challenge" so we should see more apps soon.
