You obviousely didn't read. The OP said in Standalone Mode. This means he doesn't have access to the store thanks to Samsung's stupidity.

No biggie, though battery life is good info. While I kind of wanted it myself, because it looks cool. Though, if it really hurts battery life, screw it. I rather keep my current clock and keep my 2 days of battery life without using the charger's battery to refresh it. If i used that, i could probably go 3-4 days without plugging it in.

What Clock do u use? I use Big Clock Launcher, and after 9h still got like 50% (reading notification, some replays, clock, sometims calls, timer/stopwatch). Last day I use default blue face on Gear S and watch died very fast - what is the point has good looking face if that make battery life shorter even if u have "small powerbank made for S"? The clock is only small piece of smartwatch - but for some people, this is imporat, they have a digital rolex on hand... There is also not much good apps, in Galaxy Apps u find many faces but not many good apps - but if u found it - pay 1€/2€.
Only normal Android like _NULL for first Gear smartwatch can be something more usefull like first Gear (secret recording, mxplayer, opera, quickpic and photospheres, etc) - when, we can unleash the beast, otherwise just just another good watch but limited because, nobody want make big improvments just small.

I'm using a digital clock with date and the step counter. It was on my Gear S when I got it. I originally wanted the one like it with weather, but the weather never updates in standalone mode. I can't stand how locked down Samsung made this thing. It's basically a smartphone on your wrist, but stupid Samsung had to make it tied to a damn Samsung smartphone. Good way to hinder sales and prompt many to just return the device.

it drains battery too much

I've Searched the Samsung app store and could not find this watchface? Did it get removed

Sorry I dont have any idea how to make it.
My version of Samsung Gear is: 2.2.15111841
and firmware of Gear S watch: R750AUCU1OB1

Sorry to revive a year old post here. But mozillaopera do you still have the holo watchface on your smartwatch? If so, I am looking for it also and I can tell you how to post it up here.
Or hardman247 were you ever able to find a copy?
*It's an OWSC file (not a wgt), and it's stored on whatever phone was linked to your watch to install it (because you install watch faces from the gear app on your phone and then they get transfered to your watch).
Thanks for your replies!
Here's the youtube video link that shows this awesome watch face in action!

I have it! Found it some time ago on a russian forum...
But I warn you, it will suck your battery faster than a regular watchface. But yes, it's awesome

frodone you are awesome! Thank you. Feels like I've been searching for this silly thing forever, and now I have it.
In case anyone else wants to install this:
Download the SDB kit
Put your gear s in usb debugging
Make sure your computer sees it "SDB Devices"
SDB Install the file frodone just uploaded, and it will appear in your watch face selector (long press watch face).
Thanks again frodone!
*Rename attached file with a .wgt extension (instead of .txt). XDA wouldn't let me upload a .wgt file for some reason. Not my file, but enjoy!

Hello. Still have someone beautiful watch face?

Extreme True Multitasking On The Note (Heads up from N7000 forum)

Hi all,
I've already posted this in the N7000 forum and I guess most of you are new here so I don't want you guys to miss out on this really cool find.
Since the note has such a big screen why not push the boundaries and try out some try desktop-style multitasking
Check out the video to see what it's all about.

cool, but in short, is there an app for that? underdevelopment? how can i do that on mine?
whats the name of that game? chine runner? couldnt find in market, looks cool
Wow that is pretty awesome.
Is this an android OS or just a skin? Also where can I get more info on this?

Hey I just want to say thanks for sharing this with us! It is very nice to have someone from the International Note forum share the true awesomeness of our devices! Much better than just "oh I forgot this is AT&T note, your device is crap"
coldfustion has the best vid's. tx for sharing it! i ASSume our snapdragon processor can do the same thing, maybe with a touch of lag, maybe not.
i was at a family dinner Friday and i can never think how to show off the phone as everyone is asking me about it. his vid's always give me new ideas
Halleluja! I've been asking for something like this for months. See my split screen/multiview thread in the N7000's theme/app forum. Now please add a couple features:
1. "Snap" like Windows 7 Ultimate has, but slightly different. Make it so that when you drag the app's title bar to a side, it snaps to fully fill the screen halfway on that side. Dragging to a corner makes the window snap to fully fill that 1/4 of the screen. If you have the screen filled with 2 windows (or 3 or 4), make it so you can drag the border between windows and they'll automatically resize at the same time to maintain the screen filled.
2. Have the notification bar pull down over all windows.
If you add these features and make it work, I'll buy a copy for $50.
P.S. Why in the world, if the Note's capable of running all of that at the same time, did Samsung feel the need for such aggressive RAM management that I can't currently switch from my browser window to email, one other app, then back to the browser without my entire browsing session being closed down!?
oh, didnt know this was a promotion for a bunch of PAID apps
thanks anyway

some ppl just expect things for free most of us are appreciative Jim.
Just bought the browser version. For $1.50, why not?
Honestly I can't see myself using this on my note even though we have the biggest screen size of any phones. I can see this being useful for tablets or for showing off to my iphone buddies!

Jim, could you work on seeing if we can get something like your 3D UI for our AT&T version
I just downloaded both, kept the broweser, returned the video player --- my keyboard doesnt work when the video player is up

I didn't think it read like an ad. Then I saw both were paid apps and read it again.
That said, for $1.49, I figured, why not?
Both work great on my I717. Stock ROM, not rooted, running ADW Launcher EX, and using hacker's keyboard. I was able to run two 1080p videos at the same time with the video program, and was able to run 3 you tube videos on the browser. No problems with keyboard. The only problem with lag is it seems as I run more and more videos the sound and video gets a bit out of sync.
Thanks for the link. I like the browser because I am often copy/clipping stuff, or re-keying stuff from the browser window to somewhere else and that makes it much easier. I don't know that I'll use the video thing much, but its neat to show off, as others have said.
Wow, thanks for the information, especially about the 3D UI. It led me to discover many cool apps that I didn't know about before. I really like the Windows-like Contact app and Alternative App Drawer apps especially. Thanks again!

The video app will come in handy for my use case. I like to use the Google Navigation while driving but also want to hear my language training video at the same time. Before there was no way to run my video app while running the navi app at the same time. Now I do! Thanks.
That is a great app and it shows what the future will be for smart phones. Big screens that are used in a Landscape mode for most functions. The only need for portrait is to hold it up to your ear to make a call.
People are making a lot less calls.

This is true, you can expand your phone as far as you want. I mean if you used a bluetooth keyboard and hooked this up to a TV.. I might just try that

No worries, I guess I still have some 3D UI spreading to do on other forums, it seems as if people have the mindset that the manufacturer UI is what your stuck with. eg, Once touch wiz, always touch wiz

[Q] n00b wanting to make a XMAS gift/app for my GF

So it's the holidays and I'm very very poor right now. I've trying to think of things to make for my lady, and one thing that came to mind was an app! lol, she's on her phone a lot and she knows i love messing with my phone so I thought it'd be a cool idea to make her a custom app, something simple, maybe with a splash screen that shows a pic of us, and then into a love note, followed by some pics of us.
So that's my idea, I've tried making this on one app maker, the crappy conduit one, but every time i installed the APK on my phone (nexus5) it never showed any of the stuff i made on their site.
So here's the thing, does anyone know of a good and easy app maker I could use that would allow me to basically design it, and have it make the code for me, and the APK? I have eclipse setup on my system so i may be able to any editing and whatnot...but, seeing as time is a factor (i only have a few days) id love to get it done in a matter of a day at least.
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated, im no coding genius but i can follow directions quite well lol. Thanks!

oh nah man, i dont need it on the play store. this is just a personal thing for her. I would send her the apk to install on her phone (i'll probably be right next to her to show her how) and then she would just open it, read the note and swype through some pics of us. I just think it'd be cool for her to have an entire custom app that's her and I, instead of just some slideshow online that anyone can do these days.

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.

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...

What about apps for Gear Fit 2?

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

They will be there soon!!! And lots from my team, Infinity Watchfaces. The app submission section of Samsung is currently down because I think they are adding new device lists. As soon as it's back up, you should see watch faces start streaming in left and right. Check us out on Instagram... We will be posting many of our new faces for the Fit 2 that will be available soon.

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.

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.

actually, when I do that, I can see the same list of 8 watchfaces which was always there before, not the new names you mentioned. Maybe related: I cannot find the spotify app either. I have the latest spotify on my cellphone and my fit 2 is connected. In another thread, someone pointed out this might be region related? FYI, I'm in Belgium...

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.

Still Worth Getting?

Hello Gear S family.
I need a honest advice on Purchasing gear S. I want to jump into smartwatches world but i am limited on budget. I selected No.1 G6 chinese smartwatch for $40 but then i looked around and saw Gear S in used for $100.
Is it still worth that price? I don,t want to spend more on a watch whose usability i know isn,t going to be much.
My main usage would be accepting calls, fitness tracking and notifications. Are there any issues with this gadget?
Looking forward to some good advices. Thanks

Thanks. I am happy with purchase.
Anyway to clear notifications from phone automatically once read from connected gear?
Yes it worth getting if you like the look
To clear notification you must select clear on the notification menu, not happen automatically.

Gear receive notification from android phone. So try to see if you can disable notification SIM2 on your phone settings ?
Go ahead man with gear s without thinking. It is a great gadget and will fullfill all of your mentioned requirements. I have just bought one recently and have found it an excellant machine. Only issue with my machine is that its sim card does not work in Pakistan, which means it can not operate for messaging and calling at its own. However, it works perfectly fine with your samsung mobile.
