Missing Galaxy S III support for Samsung TV’s

For those with one of the newer Samsung Smart TV’s there no S3 compatible versions of the Samsung Remote or Samsung Smart View apps on Play, which I used a lot on my S1, and apparently we’ll have to wait until late summer for an update to get Allshare Cast working directly with these TV's. It’s a bit of a disappointment. I’m sure updates will arrive eventually, but it’s a shame the phone’s not feature complete at launch.

Yes, I wonder if it has something to do with the WiFi chipset or Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)? I used to run the Samsung remote app on all of my phones, but I noticed my HTC EVO 4G LTE (basically the One X with MicroSD and kickstand) is not compatible with either of the newer Samsung apps.
I guess I will keep my OG Samsung Epic around for QWERTY remote duties.

I got smart view to work on my galaxy S3, but I used the titanium backup from my galaxy S2
no idea what fixed it, haven't got it running on my gf's S3 yet...

Actually, I tore apart the Samsung remote apps to take a peek as I'm an Android Developer.
Anyone who does Android Dev will appreciate what I have to say next:.
The remote app consists of almost a 100 layouts all written using Absolute Layout, at best, the remote doesn't align on the screen buttons overlap etc, at worst, it crashes on startup from bitmap allocations exceeding the VM heap. Which is what happens on the S3..
Samsung got some really sh*t devs to write the remote and I've already emailed offering to rewrite it lol, but alas, the email, via the market url probably went direct to those devs.
I did get it working on my note by rewriting a few of the layouts but got bored after about 20.

My samsung tv recognizes my s3/comp but when i attempt to open the internal storage music or video folders, my tv freezes. idk what the issue is.

I just dl`ed the samsung smart view .apk after googling a while to find it.
It is version 3.2.0 and it works 100% for my samsung bluray player BD-E8300. Both the smart view and the remote control. I just dont see why samsung wont release it officially via the app store.

Is samygo an option for your tv? Just the remote or remote and hacked tv.

Fully working version 3.2.0

There is a version on play store released recently, that's compatible with sgs3.
Including working dual view feature for high end tv and bluray.
Note 2 not supported still. If you force install, like restoring sgs3 titanium backup, dual view does not work, but remote does. This artificial prohibition started with 3.2.1. So 3.2.0 works for both sgs3 and sn2, while latest works fully only for sgs3.

"S Note" application /samsung disappointment. BEWARE

I used S note a lot on galaxy Note.
Then bought Note 2 - used S-note even more.
Then I bought Note 10.1 - and got dissapointed, the S-note app for 10.1 were older and missed some fetures.
Now I bought Note 3 - a much newer "S note" app, that converts the notes to a new format. - that note 10.1 never got an update for...
So. using Samsung proprietary app, which they (dirty bastards) do not update using Google Play, is a big fail. It makes me stuck with old version of the app, something that would not happen to any normal Android app on google Play.
Morale of this story is: do not trust apps that are not updated via google play for all devices.
Solution ?
I've tried to copy the note3.apk from note3 to my note 10.1 , but for some reason, it fails to install every time.. and I do not know why ?

I was hoping that the update that just came out would of had the new S-Note app in it.
I hope someone can convert it over for Note 10.1 2013 use..

DAMN
just bought the 10.1 yesterday BECAUSE of the s-note?!??!?!!
damnit!!!
have you tried copying over the note2.apk?

I think it's flat out ridiculous that we have to be stuck with old versions of software because the companies are too greedy and only focuses on new products and selling new hardware/software. I mean we've been on 4.1.2 since release and 4.3 is rolling out to other devices. Couldn't we at least be on 4.2.2? Come on Saumsung. I love your devices but this is craziness.

Check out Lecture Notes, works well & offers may more features than all versions of stock software. Since when do the hardware mfg's have to offer all software? They don't provide updates via Android Store because they can offer updates via firmware, so why should they have to pay Google for a service they already provide? My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth.

Well, Samsung does not need to pay google for free updates via Play, - and could resctrict it to their devices.
On the other hand, they could provice updates using Samsung apps market, which they do not....
finally you write "because they can offer updates via firmware" - and that's the main problem: they did not.
- While you are prety cocky with "My advise open your wallet instead of your mouth" - you brought one great suggestion for an app... purchased.
thanks.

Trying to understand the issue ...
I must be missing something here. My notes work fine on my Note 10.1 (2012 edition) and my Note II.
There are some minor differences, but I can still read them on both devices.
OP is fruatrated because not all Samsung devices are using the same version of note-taking software, right?

My take is the newest version on the Note 3 will convert notes from 2/10 to a newer format. And the 2/10 do not YET have the newer version of SNote to use the newer format.

Ahhh, so when you work on things with your Note 3, they are no longer compatible with your Note 2/10.1(2012) ... that's no good.
What happens when you try to open them? Would you be willing to share a screenshot of an error or ... ? Your Note II/10.1 just won't see them?

The converted notes become invisible for old s note application. (not much to screenshot)
I would share the current s-note3 app if anyone is better at finding out why it won't install on the 10. 1

s note app with Samsung Apps Store

It will probably roll out with the next OS update. Samsung committed to take the 10.1 as far as 5.0. I'm betting it will go to 4.3 before Christmas since compatibility with Gear needs 4.3 and they want you to buy a Gear for Christmas!

Guess committed was a strong word . Saw a article about it but failed to bookmark it. Now I can only find a "leaked info" article.

2 or 3 weeks
I had the same problem called the dutch samsung helpdesk he told me this problem would be fixed when 10.1 update to 4.3 in about 2 to 3 weeks.

other differences
The new SNOTE stores its files in a differnent folder on the sd card and in additon, the old snote could handle folders of notes, but the new one doesn't seem to support this.
EDIT: It does support folder but you have to tap the "recent note" and then the menu allows you to create a folder. The only way to possible share between verison I can see is to export from Note3 to pdf and then import the pdf in Note 2. Sucks..

I was also quite disappointed with S Note. I used Samsung Note 10.1 (2012)'s S Note extensively, and sync them to the Samsung account. Just bought the 2014 Note 10.1, and to my surprise, the old S Notes don't sync over.
I resorted to Syncing with Evernote, and then opening up in Evernote in the 2014 edition. When I click on the notes, it says I have to covert them to the new format. When I did, it looked like everything was mucked up. Diagrams all went out of alignment etc.
Anyone know what to do to get around this??

The best would be if somebody managed to install note3.apk from a newer device, on the 10.1

Do you still have the old one? If so export the notes to PDF. Maybe lots of work but should get them moved.

[Q] No NOKIA HERE for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0

Samsung App Store say Nokia HERE could not be installed on my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 :crying:
I've seen around that that application is available for Galaxy's series with 1GB RAM : My tablet conforms to that spec, so why is it unavailable
What exactly are the restrictions to have HERE installed ?
Edit:
It seems HERE is reserved to Galaxy S smartphones, not to the whole Galaxy series

There is a leaked apk on sammobile.com. You need to download it, transfer to sd card and then install it. I have it on my T210.

S note 4.x application

I have Samsung Tab S3, I would very much like to try to install S note 4.x applications to make notes [not S note 5.x - I do not like it, he has less features and capabilities]. I can not find this version on the internet. Can anyone of you put a link to the S note 4 apk application? S note 4.0 on Galaxy Note 3 was installed.
Sorry for mo English.

I just set up the Samsung Kids Mode app on our family's tablets and it works quite well. If it's not preinstalled it should be in the Galaxy Apps store. It disables IAP, allows access to only certain apps, lets you set time limits and so forth.

BTW, T530 is a Tab 4 10.1 not a Tab A. 5.0.2 is the latest OS for T530. I had one and sold it to upgrade to the Tab E 9.6 T560NU, which I then sold to upgrade to the Tab A 10.1 T580. I modded all of them, mostly to get rid of Knox and other unnecessary apps.
If you do indeed have the Tab 4 you would be better off looking in the Tab 4 section.

Oh, that must be the T350 which is the Tab A 8.0. My wife has that tablet and I installed the Kids Mode app on it today.
Android 6.0.1 is the latest OS for that but it looks like Nougat is coming any day now.
