Apps I want on the Fit 2...

1.) Alarm

2.) Camera Remote

3.) Photo Gallery

and I am also using a V10, and I cant see the new watch faces...=(

Also anyone missing the Find my Phone App? I see the Find my Gear App on my V10, but no Find my Phone on the Fit 2 watch.

**UPDATE** 6/21

FIND MY PHONE IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITH SAMSUNG SMARTPHONES + SAMSUNG GEAR FIT 2.

All other Brands will not have that functionality..eg...LG/HTC/NEXUS...
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
WTF? That second watch face is wat i like to have. Great...but i have no samsung phone....*ugly*

Alarm clock is also only on samsung phone aviable :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
as I know Camera Remote is for Gear S2, maybe write to author to ask for conversion for Fit 2 too
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
My shots:

1. Filesmaster (files transfer, files manager , music/video/pictures player. text viewer, storage usage meter etc)

2. Map navigation

3. In school or office some documentes viewer, for example Doc Reader

4. Good alarm app.

5. Web Browser
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Just got word back from the dev ticket. Of course they first were making sure we have our own apps checked for "devices other than Samsung," which we do. This is an automatic thing actually, when submitting apps - it checks all compatible devices and this check mark is present..... even "other than Android (iOS)".

They have confirmed:

"However, we would like to inform you that currently only free applications could be downloaded on a non-Samsung device, and paid applications will be available in the future. We would apologize if caused you any inconvenience. Your generous understanding and kind cooperation would be much appreciated."

They explained basically this: Samsung has to develop all the different device parings to work with the App store part of Gear Manager. Each device specifically to the watch. When they start adding these, paid watch faces will be available for the ones they have completed. All watch faces being added now by developers, since the option is available in the submissions, will be ready for other devices when Samsung is.

What I don't have is an ETA. But there are a few more support venues that will be responding soon that might give insight on time frame if we are lucky. In the meantime, my team will be churning out quality ones so when the faces become available for other devices, there will be a heck of a lot to choose from. So far the ones that have made it through the review process are getting great reviews!

Check out the latest watch faces from Infinity:

the main thing which I'm missing is a calendar app. I need to be able to quickly check my next meetings and where they are...[/QUOTE]

Have to correct myself - seems like there is already a planning app integrated. When you choose the analog watchface with the stepcounter on the bottom, you can customize it to show also the next appointment. Now when you click that appointment, you end up in a planning menu which shows all your upcoming events and tapping them shows you details such as location.

Anyone knows how to access this agenda via another way? I like to use another watchface, but want this info...

EDIT--> you can also show the weather there and tapping it brings you into a weather forecast menu. Anybody knows how to access this in another way?

That will explain the lack of watch faces to buy for non samsung phones but what's the explanation for tha Alarm app ? if I remember well this app is free...
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
and the spotify app? don't see that one either
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Ah, so it extends beyond watch faces as well - yes, alarm is free. Hopefully more answers will come soon - or just speedy updates. I'll keep reporting back anything I find out - as a dev with paid apps, I want my faces and all functionality of the Fit2 to be available for as many people as possible. I'm confident it will be sooner than later.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
Contacted #SamsungBelgië on Twitter - see what/if they reply...
[Samsung Gear Fit] lepaske:
I'm really curious of what they will say if they do.

Maybe they just want us to buy Samsung phones to not have the "limited compatibilities due to non-Samsung phone" answer...
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Just Tweeted at them. :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
they answered: we currently have no information on that subject - I answered that they should have and that it's called customer support... ;)
[Samsung Gear Fit] inzimam:
whats the use if we cant even connect to Gear Fit 2 with non samsung phones or tablets?!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
you can connect - not all features are currently available to non samsung phones, but hopefully will very soon
[Samsung Gear Fit] mjholtzem:
It's kinda ridiculous that this issue has not been acknowledged yet by Samsung and that aside from this thread it doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere else on the internet. I really hope they get it figured out quickly.

In a sort of related note, is anyone else with a non galaxy phone having issues updating the Fit 2 "Health Apps" app? it always says that the update was succesfully installed but when I open the app again it says there is an update. Many reviews seem to say the same but again, no acknowledgement anywhere online that this is an actual issue.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Very very anoying answer from samsung on facebook

"Hallo *****, die Weckfunktion ist ohne gekoppeltes Smartphone nicht verfügbar. Bei der Verwendung der SAMSUNG Gear Fit2 mit einem Smartphone eines Drittanbieters, kann es zu Einschränkungen im Funktionsumfang kommen. Dies gilt insbesondere für Watchfaces."

Google Translator

"the alarm function is not available without a connected smartphone. When using the SAMSUNG Gear fit2 with a smartphone from a third party, there may be limitations in functionality. This is especially true for Watch Faces"
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
Have exactly the same. Now I just look for the date to see if it is genuine...

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

as it says on the box :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] mjholtzem:
I'm not buying that that's the actual answer though. I'm pretty sure there's no technical reason you would need a Samsung phone to have an alarm. And even if there was that doesn't explain why only 8 watch faces show up for non galaxy devices.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Im not sure, but my experience with 1st level support ist that you can be happy if they can read and write ;)

I also wrote a mail to the adresse who are there:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager&hl=de

Its my first samsung device in my home (no tv, no smartphone, no something) because i have some prejudices for that company - looks like that im right and that will be the last one.
[Samsung Gear Fit] insty:
Same issue here. If these issues don't get resolved or at least acknowledged by Samsung then I'll be returning mine to the Samsung store and grab a Android Wear device instead.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Philippe0742:
:):good: Agree , clear digits and MM/DD.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Eddiemc:
I just got my fit 2 and same issue as the rest of the folks here. Nexus 6, and i got "nothing" in the gear store.

This is a crucial issue and it's very strange that nobody else has picked up on this.

It's a major drag and I too will return the fit2 if sammy can't solve this soon. The fit2 is marketed to work with all android phones and this is a serious limitation.

NOW, since this is xda, how about sideloading the apps?

I just want to get the freaking alarm clock app. Does anybody have the "apk" (or whatever format tizen is using) and a guide to install it on the fit2?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Here is the answer from that absolut perfect support from samung.....ähm, yes, whatever. I ask why some apps are only on samsung smartphone are there.

Languagetools

Guess i check my amazon account what time they need to give me my money back
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
It means there is possible to develop apps for Gear Fit 2? Your apps for Fit 2 passed Samsung tests?
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
That is correct. You can make apps and watch faces for the Gear Fit2. They approved our latest wave of faces last night - now have 18 on Galaxy apps, and have 6 more in review. Unfortunately they can only be seen on Samsung phones right now until they provide the market compatibility updates for other devices. I'm confident that non-galaxy phones and Fit2 apps will be working very soon!!

To see our latest and upcoming faces:

[Samsung Gear Fit] billyturf:
Can't we just put a self created watch face somewhere for download so others can import these via gear watch designer?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Can you ask them? Im short and i like to give that thing back. Nobody from Samsung react
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
I've already had responses on a couple dev tickets - they just say "near future." The option for "other than samsung devices" IS present for app submissions, so that means it should be right around the corner. I'm still waiting for two responses from other outlets I found to try to get an ETA. The delay is most likely because the Fit2 is so new and they are still launching it around the world. I'll report back as soon as I hear or find out anything.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mjholtzem:
It's good to hear them acknowledge that they plan to make it happen at some point. Seems like an odd ting to not have ready for the launch
[Samsung Gear Fit] mjholtzem:
Just looked at my gear app and noticed that the golf app is gone and a new one called "Fit Evolution" is now in the "store". So not really that exciting but I guess that's progress
[Samsung Gear Fit] zigismall:
Thanks for your answer. Good to hear your apps are available now for Fit 2 users. I am going to look at them and download one or two :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
That golf app is still here (opo) but that new app also. From a samsung user i heard that it is longer aviablable on a samsung
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Thank you! Looking forward to hearing what you think. :D:cool:
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
confirmed - non Samsung user in Europe. Seems like some progress...
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Yeah, like a dead cat on a highway.....
[Samsung Gear Fit] Dobromirr:
meanwhile ~25 new watch faces landed in the store

some of them worth purchasing
[Samsung Gear Fit] lepaske:
Not for everyone apparently because here in Belgium with a non-Samsung phone it's still the same usual 8 faces !!!

And most of all, no alarm which is a real problem because even if I put a silent alarm in my phone it doesn't work with the Gear... I tried the phone's native alarm and some from google play without success !

By the way, if someone find a workaround to that...
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
no new watch faces found in my case...
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Same here. Guess tha clock goes back - samsung is anoying with his work with customers.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Dobromirr:
broda watch faces for gear fit 2 > https://plus.google.com/103838123559423308673

true HQ work not the thing that is advertised in this thread broadly
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Guess on a non-samsung phone its not possibel to install/see/test. Thanks to samsung....

German Supportwebseite for praise and criticism tells me:

"We dont want that you are unhappy. We will send your wish to Korea" - Usefull.....in my word -> anoying
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheSapient:
These are all great. The Broda Endurance is especially nice, as it is easy to read and has 5 color options.

There are also a couple faces from other makers that I have no purchased which are interesting for their functionality. "Graphical Perfection" shows weather that it claims to get from a "hidden" Accuweather app. Calendar Fit Watch gives you access to your calendars. I haven't purchased with of these, but I hope they indicate some non-face apps are coming.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
Actually there is a 'hidden' weather and calendar app. Here's how to find them:

When you choose the analog watchface with the stepcounter on the bottom, you can customize (style) it to show also the next appointment (swipe right- there are three settings: style, color and what is shown on the bottom). Now when you click that appointment when the watchface is running, you end up in a planning menu which shows all your upcoming events and tapping them shows you details such as location of the meeting.

You can also show the weather there and tapping it brings you into a weather forecast menu.

Anybody knows how to access this in another way?
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheSapient:
That's very cool. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Dobromirr:
no idea when those will be open to not Samsung devices. but developer tickets and poking local S representatives should speed things up.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Still no new Watchfaces or apps. Applouse for Samsung mobile
[Samsung Gear Fit] Kinimod85:
Finally there are 144 Watchfaces shown in the galaxy app... now there are only the apps to show up as well

LG G4 in Germany
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Correct, Non-Samsung-Phone and see watchfaces. Nice.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Thiso:
confirmed!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Dobromirr:
172 for s7edge. but wow Samsung fixed that in no time. not their style tbh ;]
[Samsung Gear Fit] lepaske:
That's great !

And if they can make the Alarm app available for non-Samsung phone now it will be perfect !
[Samsung Gear Fit] Eddiemc:
lol, I'd happily trade all these watchfaces for a working alarm..

But this is definately progress. Hopefully everything will be accessible soon.
[Samsung Gear Fit] mjholtzem:
Yay I'm seeing watch faces on my Droid Turbo!!!
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Glad to hear - it's a start!

Woot!

:)

LOL!

Agree! This should be very soon I'm sure.

Sure it will be!

Sweet!

Woohoo! Our team has been buggin' Samsung like crazy at every outlet we can find to get answers... I'll take the fix instead! LOL

Anyone having problems login into he the Samsung Seller Office? I keep getting System Error Occurred.
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Same issue since late last night/early morning. Seems to be only affecting parts that have reports. Erase sellerMain.as off the end of the URL after you login. so it ends at /main/. This will pop the site's menu back at the top and give you access to reviews and apps - but the statistics area is messed up. Don't know about submissions though... I'll be testing that later this afternoon with some more faces we are about to load.
[Samsung Gear Fit] SRZ1977:
Thanks that worked. The stats area is messed up for me as well. I've got about 15 stuck in Under Test Confirmation right now, so hopefully everything does smoothly.
[Samsung Gear Fit] arniingi:
Same here, nothing new with Samsung S5 phone.
[Samsung Gear Fit] lucsbran:
App "feel the wear"

I would like an app simular to "feel the wear" from Android wear. Whit This app you can customise the vibration for several apps. Example : 3 Long vibration for text and phone, 2 sort for mail, repeat twice or multiple, ...
[Samsung Gear Fit] arniingi:
I found the Accuweater addon but it shows only Fahrenheit no option for Celsius,

is there any way to change this ?

Update: found it.
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Cool! Looking forward to seeing them. :) Everything seems business as usual and they fixed the stats part.

Coming soon for 4th of July celebrations, USA Fireworks Fit watch face!

See more on Instagram!

https://instagram.com/infinitywatchfaces
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
To much animytions and so on - for me. I bought Fit Chrono from Stefan Thomas because i like that screen. But on the GF2? Its to much. A good/nice Digi Clock, Date, maybe Day an the steps or so.....

Is all of that by Gear Watchdesigner? Unfortunaly it did not work on 4k Displays :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Lol - they are Fireworks and suppose to be animated as crazy as can be. Taking the extra step and pushing the designer as far as we can has made us popular on the Gear S2, and now for the Fit2. Thinking out-of-the-box awesomeness that brings a smile and a "wow!" is what we aim for. We will have a series of more scaled back designs... A Modern approach... Coming out soon. But there will be an animated component, every time.

The Gear Watch Designer has been great to quickly realize our creations. We are working on bringing them to Android Wear as well, along with a few other Tizen projects on the board. Also prepared for Apple if they ever allow 3rd party faces... We shall see!

[Samsung Gear Fit] djcense:
Looks like alarm was finally added for non samsung phones. This is on a OnePlus3
[Samsung Gear Fit] Kinimod85:
Confirmed! Can install it as well... LG G4 in Germany
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Nice
[Samsung Gear Fit] Eddiemc:
I'm after an app to quickly turn off both wifi and bt (to have it as a stand alone sleep tracker and alarm clock during the night)

I know I can do it in settings, but it's way too many clicks, and especially in the morning when turning it on.

The battery saver mode is nice, but it kills alarms and heartrate monitoring..

Does anybody know if something like that exist or can be made?
[Samsung Gear Fit] Hexxer:
Hmmm? Swip from top to bottom and activate the "Do not disturb" mode. Display stays off, BT is off, Wifi ist off.
[Samsung Gear Fit] lepaske:
Not for me! Display is off but BT still running and it says it will block all notifications except for alarm - coming from the phone I suppose... which is not useful any more if you have the stand alone alarm.

A real DNT that you can set for the night will be really usefull.
[Samsung Gear Fit] Eddiemc:
You're sure "do not disturb" turns off both bt & wifi? I thought the phone connection was supposed to stay on in this mode..

If it allows the stand alone alarm to work as well as turning those off it's what I'm looking for.

Edit:

No, it does not turn off bt and wifi, those are definitely left on in the "do not disturb mode"

It DOES however still allow for the stand alone alarm, so it's nice for those who want that.

I on the other hand want to kill all wireless during the night.

Battery saver mode does half of what I want, but it unfortunately kills both the hr monitor and the stand alone alarm too, so that option is out.
[Samsung Gear Fit] SRZ1977:
They added a US Export Law disclaimer in the "Country and Price" section, now I can't save it. They never had this before. Have you had any issues since they added this? I have contacted Samsung about this problem. I hope they get it fixed soon.
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Hey! The change happened last week while I was loading the Division Virus Detector watch face (12hr hit Apps this morning). Knocked me out and then the law check box was there. Saving the price section started failing so I left it alone. About 24 hrs later it was working properly, with the new check box. I'm not sure why you are experiencing this now.. Unless it has something to do with an error for everyone when they first encounter it... Or it might just be happening again. They have been doing a lot of updates to the site lately it seems.

I'll report back with what I find later - will be submitting another face this afternoon.
[Samsung Gear Fit] SRZ1977:
I got it to work using Microsoft Edge. For some reason Chrome browsers fails to save for me. Now I have to use both Chrome Browser and Microsoft Edge to submit something, it's crazy!

Also, do any of your faces have Calories burned? I had to switch to KCAL from CAL, because of the three extra zeros. It would show 159000, instead of 159. I forgot that what we call Calories is actually Kilo Calories. I made updates, I hope it works when they do tests.
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Interesting... I think I might know what to do to help... try clearing cache/cookies... everything in Chrome. I was having that issue in Chrome, but it went away... so that makes me think something is holding on in your browser and causing this to linger. I might have waited long enough for something to expire so it started working again. The Edge browser - no one should be subjected to that. lol

Yes - we've been experimenting some with calories, but want to test it some more before placing it on faces. Also found an issue with step percentage and extra decimals, as well as a timeline issue with step percentage and whatever is synced to it disappearing if that percentage doesn't fall on a whole number, then reappearing when it goes past the next percentage (confusing I know...). Overlapping on the timeline is a temp fix. At least finding workarounds on most things.
[Samsung Gear Fit] SRZ1977:
On the program, I wish we were able to test more than just the pedometer percent and battery percent. I want to be able to test HR, Calories, Floors, Water, Caffeine, etc... all of it. I would make this process much less painful and bewildering. :(
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheSapient:
What I'd really like is a classy watch face design with a hotspot or complication that links to the weather app. I bought one watch face with a weather complication, but I don't really care for the style. When I want to check the weather, I change faces, click to the app, then change faces again.
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
The emulator needs a lot more added to test - but regardless, main thing is to make sure to test directly on the watch for a day to insure everything is functioning as it should. Designing for the Fit2 got me to start running again - actually getting me back in shape. lol I would like to see all the items in the emulator that just read "0" to have something in them... for screenshot purposes at least.
[Samsung Gear Fit] arniingi:
I find it strange that non Samsung users are getting 140+ watch faces and

I see 43 on my Samsung S5, does anyone know the reason for this ?
[Samsung Gear Fit] kbboykin:
I have the GWD for my GS2. I now sport the GF2 and would like to design watch faces for it. Is there a way to get GWD beta for the GF2?

Thanks:D
[Samsung Gear Fit] archtech3d:
Just update your GWD. It is built in on the latest beta version. Just select a Fit2 project when it opens. :)
[Samsung Gear Fit] kbboykin:
Thanks!!!
[Samsung Gear Fit] Dobromirr:
Seeing +200 on s7e
[Samsung Gear Fit] arniingi:
It must be some region thing, Iam in Iceland, where are you positioned ?

Update: I changed DNS on my router with opendns now I see all the watch faces.

I set up on my phone fake gps set it to Miami and used also market unlocker.

Update 2: I think the market unlocker does the trick, soon as I turned it off

it went back as it was before.

[Samsung Gear Fit] SRZ1977:
How many faces are currently available for the Gear Fit 2?
[Samsung Gear Fit] TheSapient:
Does anyone have a feel for when additional apps (as opposed to watch faces) will be showing up?
[Samsung Gear Fit] arniingi:
I can see 292 watch faces, some packages have more than one, so it must be well over 300.
[Samsung Gear Fit] ZiCott:
Will Samsung bring the Snoopy Watch Faces to the Fit2? I see they are currently only available for the Gear S2.
