Samsung movies app, what a joke!

Has anyone else had a problem with Samsung movies app? I buy an Al Pacino movie and get a Will Ferrell one! My friend also had similar problems with the portal...NO email support either.

I dont have a movie app

Not on mine either .
Delivery of movies is it i wonder via a third party .

No movie app here either.

Are you sure is Samsung App?

OP probably downloaded something from elsewhere because I can't recall a Samsung movie app at all and can't find one on the Samsung Apps store.

Lol there isn't any samsung movie app... as others have said. Are you sure you didn't download an app by a dev named Sansung or something?

OP be trolling

Is he an iPhone user?

i had a samsung movies app when i fist got the phone, has now been removed.
Probably due to being rubbish!!

From where did you get the app .
This may help others check it out .
Would it be the Flixter Movies app from Samsung Apps download .
jje

it was available to download from samsung apps.
The icon was similar to the flixter one however the app appeared to be a pay per view / downoad type app.
I didnt bother to download anything so cant comment on the quality of the app.

I dont think samsung apps has a dedicated movie download service. Flixter is for reviews and show listings.

Yes i have a samsung movie app as well, not used it because they hardly have any movies! Also have a samsung music and ebook app store, both equally useless.

EDIT: you need to sign up at the above site. If you rent you get a phone copy only, if you buy you get a phone copy and a PC copy which i dont think is DRMed but havent checked. Actually the movie choice isnt too bad, but its still not a match for other sources.

I had problems registering via the phone...you need to go to the webiste via PC, register, then log on with mobile. Be careful though, as I mentioned it is flaky and sometimes wrong movies get downloaded.

Samsung Apps market is country specific so nfs may show up for Euro countires but not for US in the case of TAB...similarily for the movie app. So just because one cannot see it in their market does not mean its not there...
Stop being such defensive trolls!

Never had the Samsung Apps app on my galaxy tab :(

I don't have the "samsung Apps" app. I am rooted I even did a factory refresh. Can I downloaded it? Could not find on Samsung site. Thanks.

Google I/O tab ?
if not check here

Unless there's some hidden features that I don't know about, I would say the Samsung App" app is pretty useless. It shows some pretty lame looking apps that you can easily find on Android market. Don't worry, you're not missing anything.

Agreed Samsung apps is terrible

Transfer data from iPhone to Galaxy S3?

Hey everyone! This is my first post to xda. I have had an iPhone since it's first release. I've owned every generation up to the 4s. Anyway, I've finally decided to make the switch to Android. I think the Galaxy S3 is an incredible device and I am quickly falling in love with it. That being said, I am having a hard time finding a way to transfer my data from the iPhone to the S3. I would like to transfer my:
Contacts
Pictures
Messages (sms and mms)
Email accounts
I know that Samsung released an app for this named "Easy Phone Sync", but it is only available in the UK to download. Other similar apps only seem to sync itunes music and play lists. And not the contacts or messages. Could anyone please help me on how to make this switch? I'd really appreciate it.

If you said the Samsung app is only available in UK, google the apk and install it yourself

Thank you for your fast reply. I did try this and wasn't able to find the apk to install.

easyphonesync dot com
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.galaxysync.android.app however it says it cannot be installed in my country. UK only. :/
I use a Mac and had my contacts synced to Address Book, so I ended up syncing that with google. That takes care of the contacts. Could also copy the contacts to the sim, if youre going to use the same sim.
Photos I had syncing with iphoto, so if I want I could just copy the pictures to Dropbox and copy them over to the phone.
Email accounts I just put them in manually. @me accounts can work with imap and is working on my device.
SMS/MMS I lost which isnt a big deal for me.
*edited for the apps not working outside the UK.

It says it is only available for download in the UK. It won't let me download. Is there a way to be able to download UK apps?

On your PC do a sync with itunes from your iPhone, and also do a back up in case your iPhone backups to iCloud.
Once you have that done download and install Samsung Kies it should detect you have an apple device backup and it will read that in and allow you to transfer the items you ask for into your Samsung galaxy s3 phone. This is the easiest way. No need to download any other apps.

For music its not so good. The transfer speed is slooooooow..lol

Music I would do it through the itunes, air twist in angroid. The contacts I would import them to Gmail account since android is based on google. Pictures can be upload. To the cloud. Other options is that any authorized store can sync everything on your phone

try out MoboRobo, it performs some sync operations between iPhone and Android - http://is.gd/VvSEDm

s4 samsung apps different to s2 samsung app?

Hi,
For some reason i cant seem to have my purchased apps listed on the samsung app store on the s4 but it is listed on the s2.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Clear data on S4 and sign in again... If doesn't work,use backup-restore app to generate apk in new folder, then send apk via Bluetooth wherever you want.

hi,
thanks for your advice but it doesnt seem to work. The app i need checks for licenses of the app so i cant copy the apk

If you are root user, u can remove license verification, or install cracked play store to verify all apps... If you are not,contact Google.
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

You can't have it unless it is set to be compatible for S4. I can't find Polaris Office there too.

My answers were based on "compatible with both devices apps" if it is with one and not the other... Of course you won't find it -___-

Using Google Hangouts on One with Bloatware

I guess some of you noticed that google just updated Google Talk to replace it with Hangouts. A nice WhatsApp Clone with some beautiful features. I guess cross platform chat (Phone <> PC) is the most interesting part.
If you are an owner of an One which has Google Talk preinstalled as bloatware there is no chance to update this via Google Play unless HTC delivers an update. Too bad we're not able to uninstall bloatware / preinstalled stuff on non rooted devices...
But if you open the Play Store via browser on your computer to instruct it to install Hangouts on your phone, it will overwrite the Google Talk and you're able to use the new Hangouts app

That's what I did myself I wondered why it wouldn't update
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

I really wish they integrated it with sms/mms app like Facebook Messaging can do... or just made it like iMessage. But I'm happy for the upgrade.
It might not be showing up for folks because it is probably still replicating across the Play servers.

UI Layour is quite nice, hope it gets popular, but i really wanted that it could send sms , like imessage , or sms atleast so i can use that app for all.
edit.

Yep, but it is there don't worry. It launches when you start Google Talk

For me Talk was completely replaced after I started the remote Installation.

Strange. I'm on an att HTC one and it installed as a seperate app. I'm guessing it has to do with being on a non stock rom
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

I just got the phone today , it wouldnt let me install from Play store on the phone , it just gives me an option to open.
i went to play store on my pc and was able to install it from there on my phone and it replaced my talk app and it seems to work fine.

I opened a thread like this, Hangouts, with how to install and other stuff.
I saw this thread after.
Sorry

What I did was uninstall Google talk with titanium backup and then just install hangouts from the store later

Seems if ur rooted than you can get it or if gtalk wasn't a system app bloatware, like on sprint so I suppose I just have to wait
