Hello, Need a little favor

Hi,
I'm interested to buy the samsung galaxy tab but I first need if someone could tell me:
can the samgung galaxy tab run the Villohelper?
It is available on the market right now , if someone could please download it and post here if it works.
thanks,
PD: and how about the gps, is it completely functional?
Villohelper installs fine. I'm in the UK so can't fully test the Belgian aspects .
GPS is very good on the Tab. No problems found.
Gps is good. I mean it locks on to ur location and everything in seconds. Also the working gps combined with the tab and the google maps recent update is awesome.
Not to mention the new Google 3D maps are awesome too! - Chicago
all of you Thanks for your replies! I'm getting one of these babes very soon, so we will see again.
thanks

Looking for the original bundled News & weather apk...

Hi,
After successfully updating to the official Gingerbread for the U8800 I removed some bundled apps including the News & weather app.
I actually liked this app and other News aggrigators just aren't the same. I thought I had backed up properly but it looks like I didn't.
If someone can kindly either share their app or show me where I can download it from I would appreciate it.
I've tried looking for it on the Market even trying a few they had on offer (Pulse & News-Australia). Pulse sucks up too much power and the others I have tried just aren't as good.
Thanks

[Q] ocr?

I finally got excited that I'd have a use for some of the Samsung bloat by ocr'ing some receipt numbers. I remember seeing ocr video on note 2 but it seems note 3 has none?
So I read up and apparently Google drive can do it. Nope they have removed the feature for some reason.
Does anyone know if I'm missing something here I don't want to download another specialist app just for this feature that used to work in Drive.
Thanks

Gear S3 compatibility

Just picked up an Essential yesterday. Someone on Reddit claimed that most recent OTA fixed Gear S3 compatibility. This is only partially true. Here's what I've found:
Working:
-installing apps
-installing 3rd party watch faces
-updating watch firmware
-connect via Bluetooth
Workarounds:
-Samsung pay - install this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Samsung+pay+gear
-No notifications - install this: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=Gear+plugin
Everything works now, enjoy guys
have you received every update? Including the latest build and the essential apps from the play store??
I have the Fit2, notifications always worked for me, but installed apps and watchfaces started working last week
That's odd, I receive notifications on my S3 just fine. Samsung Pay still crashes for me as well.
Yeah, from what I've read Samsung Pay is the only thing not working still.
Sounding better. I saw somewhere the S3 was not working so I have not even tried mine yet. Using my Fossil Q Marshall at the moment. I really miss the screen on the S3.
I'll try factory resetting my gear S3 to see if I can get notifications working. Tried playing with settings, but couldn't get it working. Will report back later tonight.
Notifications definitely do not work on the gear S3. Factory reset the gear S3 and still no notifications at all. Have fingerprint gestures, so definitely on latest update.
Update: got it working! Downloaded the latest Gear Services apk from apkmirror and everything works! I installed Samsung pay apk from apkmirror and that works too! Everything works, woo!
The links don't work for me did anything change?
You can search and they show up on apkmirror. Also for the brave you can get text messaging to work with any text app on your phone on the S3. It takes a bit of work but I did it this morning and it works. You have to install Tizen studio and an apk on your phone. The apk for the phone is in the thread so you do not have to build it with android studio though. I used a guide in the thread for the pixel to get it to work for me.

Thanks for this! Samsung pay works great now. Haven't tested it on a purchase, but was able to install, add my cards, access it on my S3, and initiate the payment process!
is there a way to get Samsung Messaging and Notes?
S3 Gear Currently Incompatible With Android 9.0
Samsung is working on a solution, but the S3 Gear currently lacks the ability to connect to any device running Android 9.0. In the meantime, I simply connected my S3 Gear to my old S7 Edge phone & set up all the stand alone features before officially retiring the phone. Until Samsung fixes the problem, I'm able to use Samsung Pay, make calls/sms (assuming you have separate line setup), and use basic watch functionality without any problems.
Samsung, hurry up and fix Android 9 break!
I'm having trouble connecting Gear Fit 2 Pro on Android Pie. I tried Gear Wearable & Fit2 Pro plugin but still not working. Any help?
I don't use my watch for "a lot". Mostly notifications. I've never used S-voice, although it does work and I have used it to talk on the phone once. Haven't used Samsung pay but it is set up. Guess I'll have to try it.
Anyone else not able to get Samsung health to recognize the watch and capture it's steps?
here works all fine on stock pie rom also on cm pie ROMs I had np with gear sport etc

Thanks for this.. btw the old Pay link is not working.. Now the app is called "Samsung Pay (Watch Plugin)" https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-pay-watch-plug-in/
---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------
After installing Pay plugin, I was able to add the cards, but once I closed the app, I could not find the app anywhere? Can someone please help me how to get this app show up inside Samsung wearable? I am using PH1 with latest Pie release. Samsung customer care basically said "Your phone is not officially supported for Pay".

Google App Keeps Crashing-FIX

hey guys
i have a 5t rooted and today i was checking some apps and after sometime i found out that google app keeps crashing
Google app never opens . I was ON BETA program so i thought it might be due to that . SO i rolled back to stable but still the app crashes
when i checked all i did was made a parallel account for Whatsapp.
So , when i checked for solutions i found out that its the culprit.
so heres a fix i found out somewhere , and it works on Oneplus 5t confirmed by me .
1. connect yor phone to the pc with USB debugging on
2.Start ADB in your PC
type adb shell pm list users
Now remove the Parallel App user from your device:
type adb shell pm remove-user 999
This hot-fix will remove all your parallel apps and its data so be careful!.....
YOU HAVE TO SWITCH ON THE ASSISTANT AGAIN to get it working on command .
ALL THANKS TO paritosh9199.:good:
If you want the parallel apps and Google to work together ,I suggest you uninstall all the updates of Google app .
It will work fine with parallel apps and wait for Google to release the update !
Will it work for non-rooted users also? Any other way to fix it as I don't want to remove the parallel apps?
Why is this issue happening only in oneplus phones? I have sent the devs logs 2 times but no action has been taken. Never ever a op phone again.
Can you please confirm if Bing is showing news feed in your phone or not?

Bing is working well for me
I don't know if this works on non rooted . Why don't you try it and tell me !
I have no idea why this is happening on OnePlus phones .
What I told you is a hot fix , more over our phone is outdated. Devs don't care about us anymore . Yah I know Q . But that will be the end of it ! If you want you can wait for the Google to fix it ...
Otherwise , uninstall all the updates of Google app . It will go back to the old version and it will work fine with parallel apps .
That will be the best choice for you until the Google releases the fix !
Weird , its not working for Bing here too. Have tried in different 5t's.
Even if I buy a new op, expect regular updates for 6 months only. Then a new phone or the T version will release and this cycle will continue. They took 2 months to fix the last bug. This is the only os which always has weird and tons of bugs.
Uninstalling updates didn't help.
Google has nothing to do with it, issue is with op.

Un installing the updates worked well for me actually !
But I didn't care about parallel app so I did what I wrote .
And everything works like a charm for me .
May be you should root it and fix it !
