You searched for "GearCalculator" (one word) instead of "Gear Calculator" (two words). Perhaps that's why you couldn't find it?

The OP spelled the app as two words. I just searched for the app and found it, it's one word. I was only suggesting that maybe that's why you didn't find the app. Either way, it's not the end of the world; first world problems )
For what it's worth... I found the app by spelling the app's name as the OP spelled it (two words), but I also didn't search for it as one word.

Please post in correct place
There are already 2 other posts regarding apps for the GEAR S and they should all go in the THEMES & APPS section of this forum.
Also see this thread:

Could the moderator please consider moving all these over please?
That way we don't cross post and we can find what we want.

How to find new apps?
Hi,
Just wondering if there is an efficient way to search for new apps. I have 3 issues:
1. Interested in anything new just developed that may not have been available the last time I checked
2. Still searching for an app that allows me to control ppt slides on my laptop that are being projected.
3. After finding an app that I searched for, the app is being displayed with the header:"about 2 results" even though only 1 app is displayed. What is that about?
For issue 1 I have been going to the Gear Manager>Samsung Gear apps>Top>sort by new.
That shows me 300 apps. Is that really all there is? Using the category tab is not that useful, since you can't sort by date and many apps show up in pretty much all categories. I thought there were over 1000 apps available? So where are they?
For issue 2, I have tried PreGear, but it required download of additional programs and admin password, which I don't have for my work laptop. Someone suggested a YouTube video that promoted an app capped Air PPT for Samsung Gear S, but no matter how I searched for it, I can't find it in the Gear store and the video did not provide info on how to get it. Any other ideas as to this type of app? Is there another place to find apps for my Gear S besides the Gear manager?
Issue 3 is just plain irritating. If this is caused by something I am doing, would be good to know, because right now it feels like the gear store itself has no clue as to how many apps it has...

hi there,
just got my galxaxy tab 10.1v yesterday. and now i'm wondering how to find out in the market, which apps are written for honeycomb?
what i need is something like a filter-option, like with the ipad and the appstore. there the apps for the iphone and ipad are shown in different panes, and you can easily tell whether an app is for pad or phone.
thanks for your answers
Yes, a filter is definitely needed.
There is already a list of Honeycomb apps being built in this forum. It's pretty hard to miss - it's the thread right above yours

i do know this thread above, and there's a similar one in xoom-forum, too.
but those threads need to be updated by xda-members, e.g. when they "randomly" discover an app. so if no xda-member is willing to update those threads, you'll never get to know the latest apps for your beloved tab
such a filter in the market would automatically show those apps.
If you sign-on in the market and you click on the App name it tells you in the application is compatible with your device.

Not even necessary. If it shows up in the Market, then it's compatible with your device (according to the developer). Non-compatible apps are not shown.
HC optimized is another story. What people really seem to want is a filter for tablet optimized (not just compatible) apps. But for reasons I've pointed out in another thread on the same topic this isn't likely to happen anytime soon.

Somebody should start a google docs spreadsheet and ppl can update it by themselves.
Digita1One was right. The best way to check compatibility for now is logging into your market account on your computer and click on the app name, on the left side right below the name of the app, it tells it's compatible with your tab or not. Just showing up in your market on your tab doesn't mean those apps are compatible. Hope this helps.

As I said in post #5, its up to the developer/publisher to code the compatibility of the apps in the market listing. Google doesn't police the market the way that Apple does. Most developers do a good job and mark their apps appropriately; a small number do not.
Hey guys, just found a new app called Hovernote for $.99 in the playstore:
'It's simply a note app that hovers over whatever you're doing. In a world where it's necessary to launch a full-screen app on a ten inch device to jot down three words, Hovernote is a godsend. You can have multiple notes open, copy, paste and share from them, and even use the app on phones/tablets"
The more apps like these we get, the more I can appreciate what Android brings to the table!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tamxpbS5ob3Zlcm5vdGUiXQ
Very cool. I can see how this would be massively helpful for studying and taking notes from e-books.

Hey, yeah its a great app. Will do!
Thank you mjlim for creating another floating app to add to my arsenal . I bought it instantly once coming across the android police article to show my support for more floating apps (hint: I buy all floating apps )
Woot! Another floating app bought.
Really useful app, and if they keep popping at those prices I'm gonna buy all of them ^^
Read the save locally feature is being worked on... the app is looking really neat. Great work

Currently, no. I might do one in the future, but for now you can purchase the app and try it out for about 10 minutes; Google Play has a 15-minute return window in which if you don't like an app, you can have your purchase refunded (more accurately, never charged) via a button on the app's page.
great app..just purchased
It's funny how I and another person who commented on the Android Police post about the floating app library were just hoping for someone to make a floating note taking app and a day or 2 after, there we have it!
Too cool. Bought it in a heartbeat. Thanks dev!
Got this app and I love it. I works over everything, video, office, browser. Swiftkey is active on it so spellcheck is also available. Nice.
To the author;
New features that I'd love to see. A widget instead of status bar notification and direct text file save.
Thanks!

Hi!
Just so you know, I released an update yesterday that includes:
text file read/write
window transparency
an option to turn off the notification that appears after you close the last note
I'm not too sure about using a widget, since you can only access those from the homescreen... maybe I could display a list of recently opened files in a widget eventually, though.
I've gotten some feedback on there being too many notifications, so I'll see if I can come up with some alternative means (configurable, because I don't want to force it on people) to select individual notes.

Really liking this app. Its nice being able to use this app and sending the notes to my regular note taking app. I'm liking the floating window apps that are starting to come out.

Love the app. There is a method to get it free out there but after 3-4 days (when I got paid), I bought it to support the dev.
One thing I would like to see is an option to set a default open/save location. I usually save mine to sdcard/notes/.

Thanks for buying it. I didn't include any of the licensing or antipiracy libraries because it would be inconvenient, and the app is open source anyway; I definitely appreciate your purchase!
In the last version hovernote now remembers the last folder you were in when you opened or saved a file, and that's the default next time you open the file picker.
Thanks for sharing this. Its exactly was I needed.
Great job to the developer.

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.

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.
Are there any apps for Gear Fit 2?
There's not much but a few.

Open the Gear Manager app, then click Samsung Galaxy Apps at the bottom. Once in Galaxy Apps there will be a "Gear" tab which has the watch face section in it. Make sure your Fit2 is connect via Bluetooth or you might not be able to access the correct section of Galaxy Apps. Let me know if you need further assistance and I'll be glad to help.

Ah, yes - this could be a location thing. It takes time for the apps to trickle out to the different markets and they just hit in the US this morning. Another variable is the type of phone you are connecting the Gear Fit2 to. When submitting the binary files for the watch faces, we select compatible devices (aka: select all). This is what makes it show up in Galaxy Apps on that particular device. Right now it lists 62 devices - when the Gear S2 lists 126. What type of phone are you connecting to?

Shouldn't be a problem... Your phone meets the requirements. Hopefully just taking a bit to hit the app store. Let me know if you don't see anything within 24 hours and I'll put in a ticket with Samsung to find out the issue.

Can you make a simple one, just like the stock one, but featuring MM/DD? Seems like the only ones that have a MM/DD are super flashy.
Thanks!

I'll put in a ticket to see why they are not showing up in your location and when they might be available! Might not hear back until Monday depending on Korea and if anyone is working in dev support this weekend over there.

What "useless"? Searching for a useful answer and not for such a useless comment! Tried to find something in the web. Couldn't find anything regarding my request. Since my last device restart the Google search looks like in my screenshot. Square, simple and without the "G" logo and microphone.

Don't wanna blaim anything nor anyone. I just wanna know if it is normal and if someone else's got the same look of the search bar. Is it kind of new design or is it an ui failure on Sony devices. That's all. Hope some useful answers will follow!?

Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.
(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.

Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.
I'm on stock Android 12 with stock Sony launcher. Mine looks the same as always

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.
Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.
I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Found the same request in the Sony Support Forum but no answer/response yet.
Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange
I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...

FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
