[Q] Samsung Apps missing from new phone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The icon is not listed on the app screens. From screenshots I've seen of the phone, "Samsung Apps" should be right between "S Voice" and "Samsung Hub". It's definitely not there, and I can't find it anywhere else.
I just got my phone 2 days ago from a Verizon store.

It's a good thing it's not there because the samsung apps is just bloatware,
if you had it and wanted to use it you would need to "sign up" and after
that not a day would go by without samsung emailing you about all of
their "special offers" . LOL

Nexus 7 Gone From My Apps After Root

After rooting my Nexus 7, the device is now missing from the "My Apps" section of the Play Store.
Has anyone else had this problem and know what to do?
Possibly not the right answer, but;
Hit the arrow that is sitting next to the search icon at the top of the market home page. That takes you to your downloaded/installed apps, and you can scroll across to see all apps from there as well.
Umm when you root, you lose all your apps, you gotta restore them
The biggest issue is that Google doesn't think he has a nexus. I give it a day or so, in the meanwhile install off of the nexus.

Umm OP is not referring to missing apps. He/she is referring to his/her device not appearing anymore in Google Play. this means he/she cannot use the Play website to install apps on his/her Nexus 7.
As someone else mentioned, just give Google a little while to update itself. another thing to check is to login at play.google.com, click the settings icon (looks like a little gear) at the top right of page and goto 'My orders and Settings' then click the Settings tab, and check if your device is listed but not selected as 'Shown in Menus'

Samsung/galaxy app store icon

I must be blind, because I cannot find the galaxy app store icon in the drawer. I see the one on the desktop, but if that gets deleted, where do I find the store?
Thanks,
Jim

Nope, not in application manager, either. This is a Verizon Note 4.
I have widgets for it, maybe there is no app specifically in the drawer?
I'm on AT&T and didn't have a Samsung Galaxy Store icon or app until I downloaded & installed it. IIRC I got it from Samsung's website. I was thinking I got it from the Play Store but I checked and it's not there.
So strange
If you have galaxy widget gift it mean you have that app.
Almost all galaxy device have galaxy app as a default app

I have that widget but I didn't realize it included the Galaxy App Store, really I don't think it did, maybe it gives you access to download & install it. I only looked at once before I removed it from my screen but I'm thinking when I downloaded it & installed it from Samsung's website if I already had it installed it would not have installed a second time. Installing it was one of the first things I did because I wanted to install Here Beta maps.
If you have a Samsung folder, it's probably in there. Another reason why I use Nova Launcher.

Ok so you have to manual install from samsung website to use that app

Evernote for one year

FYI - this wasn't in the list of Galaxy Gifts, but showed up and activated when I opened Evernote.
It was on the list of galaxy gifts in an email I received.. that's odd
Yup. Just installed and 12 months free.
We're you guys previous Evernote users? I never received that message and I'm still on the free plan.

I was a previous Evernote user, canceled premium a few months back.
Is there a list of 'free goodies' from samsung; also do we need to register to get them? I know with the tablets they were giving you google play $$.
Yes, where is this list of galaxy gifts.. how do you get them?
There are two widgets called "Galaxy Apps," one shows gifts, the other shows essentials. At least on the Verizon version.

installed and logged in, and got nothing. oh well lol
If you're not seeing it, make sure you go through the welcome/setup. The first time I installed it and logged it, I quickly closed out of the welcome card and wasn't prompted for the free year. Cleared cache/data, relogged in, and took the time to do it more slowly. Was prompted for the 12 free months with a card to activate it, one or two screens later while going through the welcome messages.
FWIW, have previously had Premium, but had a free plan at the time of activation.
Great tip - It worked for me!!
Even though I had Evernote installed, it prompted me to update it from the Samsung store which I did. After that I clicked on the Premium button, but all the buttons on the screen that popped up were grayed out (pay monthly , pay yearly) so I cancelled and a card was waiting for me in the main notes section offering the 1 year of free service.
Anyone know how to get the other gifts? Tried the widget thing but doesn't work
Finally got mine to work. Cleared data and cache and logged back in. Once I was logged in I clicked the 'Evernote has changed' card and it was displayed beneath that.

Download the Galaxy App Store from Google Play. With all the other bloat that comes preinstalled, I'm surprised they didn't add that.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Galaxy+App+Store&hl=en
There ya go
Here's the answer:
1. Go to "Settings" - then go to "Application Manager"
2. Select "Evernote" from the "Downloaded" or "All" tab.
3. Select "Uninstall updates".
4. Open the app when this is done. It should show the 1 year premium subscription right then. But, if it doesn't, then:
5. Go to "Explore Evernote" from the slide menu on the left (the last option in the menu)
6. Select the last option named "Special Samsung Upgrade" (shown in the image)
7. It will then upgrade your account to a premium Evernote account.
8. You can the update the app from "Galaxy apps" in your app tray!
Thanks.easy enough
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but it's not working correctly for me, I don't see it anywhere
Got it without any trouble.
Didn't see the offer on the widget. Didn't see Evernote pre-installed on my Dev Ed Note 4.
Installed fresh from Play store and got a message in the application that I could upgrade to 12 months of Premium for free courtesy of Samsung and Evernote.
Hit a button to activate and it was done.
Activated today (03/18/15).
Thanks for the thread. I wouldn't even have known about the "gift" since it wasn't in the widget.

[Q] Iheartadio won't stay installed!!!

I'm not sure this is in the right forum, but here goes, anyways.
I can't install Iheartradio and keep it installed!
I have my Verizon S5, and have Samsung Gear app installed, too, since I have my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch.
I can install Iheartradio, and open it. Once it opens, it immediately closes, and I get a message from the Samsung Gear app, saying "Failed to install the app." I check "Unknown Sources" in the Gear app settings, but I still get this.
I even restored to factory settings, and, before Samsung Gear was installed, installed Iheartradio successfully. Once the Gear app installed, iheartradio disappeared, and things were back to normal.

I'm having the same issue. Installed while the battery was dead on my G2neo and it iheart worked. When i charged and booted the watch, later i noticed it uninstalled. Tried reinstalling and i get the same message. It must have something to do with the watch. I wish i could tell iheart to ignore the gear app and watchwhen installing. Mine is a att s5 paired with a gear 2 neo.
Same problem here, but with Note3.
Any luck solving it yet?
This thread is a little old but just wanted to let everyone know we'll have this issue corrected in our next update.

Thanks for that update. I am now having that issue myself. Any idea on when your next update will be releasing?
Can't give a specific date as that can be subject to change, but it is fixed in our latest internal build so it should be in your hands soon.

Updates Galaxy apps question...

I know updates system appear in the settings -> about
And updates apps appear on Google Play.
And updates of apps Galaxy, for example to edge or always on display...
Now these updates should appear in galaxy apps, I just don't see it there.
We assume it's already updated, I don't even see those apps, not even with the search, make sense?
Another question: besides the 3 options these updates.. is there another place for me to track updates for my device?
Thank you very much.
Are you going into the menu within galaxy apps or do you think they should show up on the main screen?
