Samsung Hub - Where's it gone? - Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps

I recently got my S5 and was surprised to see there is no Samsung Hub installed. I tried the Play Store and it says app not compatible with device.
I tweeted Samsung to ask I how get all my purchased content from the hub to my S5 and their answer was to use Samsung Link on my phone, well that didn't work.
My next stop was at the new Samsung Experience store, to say they were clueless is an understatement, the advisor was tapping away at my phone trying to find it, he then resorted to using Chrome on my phone and Googling the answer to which he said I should download the apk file, well I've just done that and that didn't work.
Any advice on how to rectify this would be appreciated, I just want all the films that I've previously purchased in the past from the hub onto my Galaxy S5.
Cheers

[Q] Samsung Contact/Dialer

I was at the ATT store tonight playing around the with the Samsung captivate. I absolutely LOVE the dialer/contact app on the Samsung androids. I took a spin through the captivate forum here and did not find it, so I was wondering if anyone has managed to extract that program and use it on the TB or any HTC phone.

Like I said I've tried them all. The issue I have started like 3 weeks ago when I still had my galaxy s. It just one day happened and then just followed me around!
Edit: just tried yon on my parents Xoom. Same error. Is it possible that Verizon fios and T-Mobile are blocking the app data, but not the actual website

ICS Premium Suite Birthday Card Maker?

These may seem like a silly questions, however I was watching the premium suite and one of the things I saw was some kind of 3D birthday card app - My first question is where is it? I have upgraded to ICS and I am having a difficult time finding it. My second question is, does the person receiving one of these cards also need to have this app on their phone?
Thank you in advance for any help.
The app is called My Story. To the best of my knowledge, the recipient needs to have the app as well, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, the person you are sending it to has to have the app and be a friend of yours on it. How many people have the note though :/ seriously....
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.app.mystory
I have to download it from market manually on my phone and then my friend's. The above information is all correct. Neat app, but a little restricting in its use.

The app is now compatible with many Samsung devices, so it's not just Note to Note. My wife has an S3 and worked fine.

Hi! I'm new here, and was wondering how you add friends to the My Story app? I noticed that you were able to send something to your wife through it, and she doesn't have a Note. I REALLY appreciate your help!

I just got the official ICS update here in Canada...
I tried to test out the My Story App on my note and on my dad's note both running stock ICS that got released today but we were both able to send without any error to each other except we don't seem to receive the letter... Does anyone else have this problem or might know how to fix this? Tried on both Wifi and on data (connections are both really strong) so it is not internet problem.
Thank you.

Office 365 mobile

Can someone do me a favour and try downloading office 365 mobile from playstore? It's free. Link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub
My device is listed as not being compatible, am in support threads with Microsoft and Google to determine why, want to know if it's just me or a c6833 issue. If you don't see it in a search that means your not compatible.
Thanks in advance peeps.

Yeah. I got it off a third party store called 1mobile market, but of course I don't get proper updates, plus I hate using a third party store personally. Just wanted to get it sorted as it'll affect a lot of people especially business users.

I had to send it to Hong Kong as thats where I bought it from. New Zealand wont stock it. blah!!
I got an email saying they have signed for it, so maybe another 7-10 days??
so essentially 3 weeks without my Ultra. But I didn't have a choice. Wasn't going to have a device that thought it was charging all the time..

3 weeks! To be fair, that's about the same time it would take her in UK for a service. Jesus, being without the zu for 3 weeks makes playing with yourself the only real alternative :sly:

Hi SpyderTracks,
Same issue here when I had my Z Ultra. It says app is not compatible. I think this is due to the fact that it is identified more as a tablet than a phone. When I first was playing with the floor model, I noticed that the "Settings" menus look more like Android tablet style than the phone version. I've noticed that on my Galaxy Note 2, the settings menu is black versus white/gray on my Galaxy Note 10.1. I can't say if this is for certain all Android but it seems that way looking at other phones vs. tablets. Another app I was looking at was "mysms" and it shows main app as incompatible. Other apps it shows both the phone version and tablet version as compatible.
I've searched Google and run across a trick where you modify one or two elements the "build.prop" file to make Google App store identify your phone as a different phone (like a Samsung S3). I haven't tried this myself though I plan on doing it sometime in the future possibly.
Hope this helps.

Thanks mate. I'm in contact with Microsoft on this and they say the XZU should be compatible, they're blaming Google play store for the issue, but Google say the app compatibility is specified in the code of the app and they have no control over it. I've done a quick search and found some code snippets which back this up, so I think I'll escalate the issue with Microsoft.
Would still appreciate some more testers with C6802, C6806 to try? Will give me extra weight with Microsoft if I can point them to this thread.

I have a C6802 and it also says that "This app is incompatible with your device."
Google for office mobile 365 apk, install it manually, it works fine and great on z ultra big screen. I already tested it. I have not rooted my ultra but on wanam exposed module there is an option to trick the play store so that it shows all app.

Yeah, it's not a problem running or finding the app, but I don't like 3rd party stores and want updates coming from Google play.

Hi all
Thanks to those of you that helped out. Microsoft have admitted the issue and are looking into their specifications for compatibility within the app. As it's a coding issue, it'll need an update so may take a bit of time, but it's great they're looking into it.
If you want to keep up with updates on this, the thread is here
