[Q] Endomondo Google Play / Amazon App Store - LG G Watch R

I recently installed Endomondo via Google Play and on my watch it appeared as an App with a start and stop button, however I then realised that I also had from the Amazon App Store Endomondo Pro, so I removed the initial Endomondo and installed the Pro version, now however the App has gone from the watch.
Does anybody know how I can get the Start/Stop app element back on my watch with the Amazon download of Endomondo?

As far as I know, Endomondo no longer support the pro app, since they have merged both apps in the free one. As Endomondo Pro user (adquired using google play) I received an e-mail informing me about this, so pro users are identified by the free app as "pro" and can use the free app with no ads.
So the answer to your question could be that the pro app you installed may be outdated and does not have wear support. Try using the free app and check if you're "pro user".

Thanks for this news I'll remove the Pro version and get to installing the normal Endomondo one now. Thank you

Amazon Instant Video App Works with Galaxy Tab S

As most folks know (at least if you're an Amazon Prime member) The Amazon Instant Video App does not work with most Android Tablets (except, of course, the Kindle Fire). Well, it works fine on my new Galaxy Tab S (SM-T800) that I just purchased today. (At least I can verify that it runs on the stock ROM, build KOT49H.T800XXU1ANJ6 - Oct 24, 2014) All you have to do is download the two Apps below and install them. No other alterations are necessary and no Flash conflicts appeared. Neither of these Apps are available from the Google Play Store.
Here are the simple instructions to get Amazon Instant Video working....
1. If you have already installed the Amazon Shopping app (the one without "Amazon Instant Video" on the menu), first uninstall it. The version below has a menu that links to the the Amazon video add-on.
2. Download these two apps from "The Digital Reader" site, and install them...
Amazon Shopping
Amazon Instant Video
3. Open the Shopping app, log into your Amazon account, and then click on the menu icon in the upper left corner. Then select "Amazon Instant Video". That's all there is to it.​

WORKED PERFECTLY! Thanks you so much. Just called Amazon last week about this issue after I purchased my table from Sprint. They told me it was nothing they could do. It was a Samsung issue. Then I called again they said they didnt support the GTS
Thanks very much Robin!
Works a treat here in the UK.
Is there a way to download the prime videos? On my kindle I could download 4-5 shows and watch them later. On the tab s, I can't seem to find this feature.
I thought the idea behind Prime instant video was that you stream videos for free if you're an Amazon Prime member. There doesn't seem to be a way to DL them unless you buy or rent the video. I didn't know you could do that on the Kindle.

On the Kindle certain shows can be downloaded for offline availability.
Adding offline ability would be great

Thanks!
Robin you are THE MAN!!! Worked perfectly on my retarded Fujitsu M532. The only reason ama-a-zon chooses not fix this or redo their files/apps must be because they don't want it to work for people. That sucks.
FINALLY, prime instant video on my Tab S 10.5! thanks
Just a quick note on this. I just went through it. If you have the amazon shopping app for tablets installed from the play store, you will go around in circles trying to get it to work. What clicked for me was the reference to phones only in the amazon documentation. The play store will not show the amazon shopping app for phones if you have a tablet. The key is to first uninstall the shopping app for tablets then load the amazon app store then load the shopping app for the phone and the instant video app from the amazon app store. Then it all works. I am guessing if I loaded the apks here in post 1 it would do the same.
FYI, YMMV
Sadly the app crashes on the lollipop rom. App install fine but once start playing a movie the player crash. Hopefully there will be a lollipop version out :victory:
To the OP thanks for posting the apk links
Worked on my rooted stock Tab Pro 8.4
Thanks, I have been trying to get this to work for 2 weeks. This solution worked!
Thanks much. I also have it working on a SM-T707V but can not download my purchased movies on Amazon Instant video like I can do on my Kindle Fire HD.
Anyone find a source that can do that?
I was playing them with dolphin browser and the flash apk. Worked fine. So does this app but I think quality is a bit better with flash and dolphin
If you have a rooted phone, you can just make a backup and install the amazon phone app beside the tablet app. The instant video app will then start working.
Awesome. Thanks for its tip!
You are welcome.

This works well, for those of us that don't want to remove any apps and whatnot, I simply added the amazon app from the app store, while still having the tablet one enabled and then instant video started working
Regarding the Amazon appstore itself - how to get it first
Sorry for the slightly off-topic swerve.
Brand new Galaxy Tab S 8.4 owner. I've tried installing 2 different version of the appstore apk that I have from other Android devices with no success - keep getting prompted to enter a valid email and password (which are definitely correct because they do work with regular Amazon site via Chrome). Installing the tablet shopping app from Google Play didn't give me an option for the appstore.
So -- how do I install the appstore itself? I have a bunch of purchased apps that I want to install on my Tab S so that I can retire my old semi-reliable Xyboard. This is a dealbreaker because if I can't install these apps on the Galaxy Tab, it's useless to me. Thanks for any advice.
"Slightly" off-topic?!?
This thread is about the instant video app. The shop app is anot other story.
But long story short: Get in touch with amazon support, the shop app should work without any tricks on the Tab S.

[NEW OFFICIAL METHOD TO GET LATEST]Amazon Instant Video & Store app working no APK's!
Hello everyone have you been trying to get Amazon Instant Video working on your device and the APK and Dolphin browser method have failed you? Well I spent about an hour figuring this out and man now this is legit and a way to get the latest updates on the Amazon Store app on tablet and the Amazon Instant video app working on any Android device flawlessly without errors.
Step One: First you can Google ; amazon app store download android, the first one on a Google search should be
Install Amazon Appstore - Amazon.com once you click it it will take you to a download page for the Amazon app store. Just make sure you have
unknown sources checked in security to install it.
Amazon App Store Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get-appstore/android/ref=mas_rw_ldg
Step Two: Log in to the Amazon account you use preferably the one with Prime and Amazon Instant video(for those with multiple Amazon accounts, you can easily switch Amazon accounts in the App settings. )
Step Three: Once logged in search Amazon store app , then select and click get and then install the "Amazon" titled app not the Amazon for Tablets that wont activate Instant Video for some dumb reason. It must be the Amazon app store application officially.
Step Four: Go back or stay in the Amazon app store app and then search for Amazon Instant Video, tap to install it.
Step Five: First go to the Amazon store app (my preference/ recommendation) then it should say welcome your name and continue for the account you signed in with on the Amazon App Store application. If you click sign in as a different user it well on all of the Amazon applications. (In the settings of the Amazon App store you can switch accounts just scroll to the bottom of its menu.)
Step Six: Now do the same as step five for the Instant Video app! Just click continue or sign in as a different user (thus changing your log in on all three of these Amazon apps. Most likely all amazon apps.)
Step Seven: Finally a LEGIT FREAKING way to watch Amazon Instant Video on any device especially incompatible Android devices like my Samsung Galaxy Tab S and Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
Note: My Galaxy Note 4 came with the Amazon store app so you just needed to then download the Amazon app store app and then Instant video and BOOM!
If I solved your problem click that Thanks button!
This method should work on any Android device absolutely any Android device.
Sadly I think I am the first person to figure this out just on a side note, I was like hmm and thought that the Amazon app store app should have other amazon apps without device incompatibility issues because that's a stupid Play Store issue. Btw Amazon Instant video and media in full screen on the Tab S 10.5 are amazing in full screen!

I need dual window ..
Sorry for typos 12:01 AM and did this quick well clean up later.
I figured the same thing out during Xmas vacation.
I already had the Amazon appstore app (orange icon with word app) installed to get their free app of the day. The trickiest part was to realize I had to get the Amazon shopping app (the one with the shopping cart icon) but NOT the one for tablets. (They don't call it the shopping app, though, just Amazon.) This is the app that lets you log into your prime account. The instant video app is just there to play video. Without the shopping app, the instant video app just sends you to a web page with a bunch of apps and you get to figure out which one you actually need. It's so stupid that it must be deliberate. I think they want you to give up and buy a kindle fire instead.
Ironically, on iOS, you just get the Amazon instant video app and you're done. It's one app like everything else.
Note that you cannot get the Amazon appstore app from Google play store (understandably since Amazon is competing directly with the play store). You cannot get the Amazon shopping app for phones from the play store either, because Google so helpfully figures that since you have a tablet, it will direct you to the app for tablet instead.
Anyway, with that all done, does anyone else think the video quality is noticeably inferior to Netflix? I've seen nothing that looks wow on the OLED.

I know that about the iOS and Android instant video differences because I'm the only Android user in my entire family. But yea it is ridiculous that we need 2 - 3 apps just for instant video. But hey at least people that use instant video usually use the Amazon app already. Amazon just wants both apps to be installed on the users devices. While Google play has limitations on apps per device such as the app is incompatible with this device message meaning we then have to hope there is an apk that works with your device which is stupid but nothing can be done about it because Google app developers have to try to support so many devices and many different screen sizes. Sorry for the typos again sent from my tablet laying down just finished watching Dexter on Instant video on my 10.5 hd super amoled screen. At 3:05 Am.
fantastic works a treat - thanks
was really bugging me that I was paying a monthly sub for Instant Video and could only use it on the kids Ipads and not on my Tab S without installing a 3rd party app (ok this is still sort of 3rd party - but I trust amazon)
great

Glad I could help you both! If you know anyone else with this issue , link them here.
I used apk extractor to pull both apps from my phone and installed them on my Tab S 10.5. Worked like a charm.
Confirmed working on a rooted Tab S 10.5. No hacks, no problems.
* Install amazon appstore from amazon web site.
* Within amazon appstore, install "Amazon" app, not "Amazon for Tablets".
* Log in to new amazon app.
* App has instant video in it's menu, try to watch a video.
* App sends you right to the place to install the instant video app automatically.
* Now you can watch videos.
* Finally, you can uninstall the amazon appstore app if you want. It's no longer needed. You have to keep both "Amazon" and "Prime Instant Video".
FYI, Amazon app store has a free app every day. Most days it's pretty crappy but I've gotten some good stuff like Swype, wolfram, and monument valley. On holidays, they have a bunch of free stuff.
When I try and install the app, the INSTALL button is nonresponsive. CANCEL works though. I have UNKNOWN SOURCES checked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Do you have any other amazon apps installed they could be interfering with the install or make sure you have unknown sources checked in security.

This was the problem. I uninstalled Amazon for Tablets and followed all these steps. It worked. What a pain!
Thanks!
This didnt work for me with my ADT-1 and comcast. But I was able to use dolphin browser just fine.
I hate this crazy dichotomy of streaming devices. There is no true 10 ft/lean back/ whatever u wanna call it launcher that works with android. I gotta say, a fire TV, or even better a xbox 360 or ONE is basically the only way to get Amazon Instant, Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO, xfinity TVgo, etc with no modifications or tinkering.
Why does this have to be so friggin difficult?
I may as well just keep using my firetv stick and miracasting my nexus 7 2013 to it as needed to supplement. My adt-1 is fast, does a good job with everything. But theres no true easy way to get the Amazon Prime Instant with continuous play except for a firetv. Even the Roku 3 has a crappy launcher.

TuneIn App

So I got the Pioneer 8100NEX setup last night. After flashing OxygenOS on my phone (BlissPop wouldn't work due to the DPI issue) I am up and running with Android Auto. However, when going through the music app option all I have is Google Music. The other main app I use for tunes and general listening is TuneIn which, while installed and apparently should work, is not showing up. I searched the settings for TuneIn and didn't notice anything obvious. Is this a Pioneer setting I am going to wait for or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
I realize this is a dusty post, but did you ever get TuneIn to appear in AA? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P.
Allow me to spray some Pledge/Endust on this topic as well. I have a Moto X Pure Edition running TruPureXMM 2.6 and I just purchased a 2016 Honda Civic EX with Android Auto built-in. Everything about it works great: Maps, Hangouts, Play Music with voice search, the whole thing. EXCEPT: similar to the posters above, when touching the Audio button to see other apps, the only app listed is Google Play Music. I should also note that I have multiple Auto-compatible audio apps in addition to TuneIn Radio Pro; I also have BeyondPod, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. None of them appear. Google support is non-existent at this point, which is a little unsettling as more and more carmakers are offering stock options with Android Auto.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of having a rooted and/or custom ROM installed. Mine is stock based for my phone but it is rooted and I see that the OP had a custom ROM as well. I don't know what you are running @monorailmedic. Any information or assistance from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have any adblock app running on your phone?

Disabling AdAway had no effect. However, I believe I have resolved the issue.
I mentioned that I have TuneIn Radio Pro, but I did not mention that I got it through the Amazon App Store rather than Google Play. (It was a free app of the day many moons ago.) I installed the regular version of TuneIn from the Play Store and...voila, it appeared in Auto. Same thing with the other apps - I had installed them outside of Google Play, and apparently Auto doesn't like that. Reinstalling through the Play Store got me up and running.
I don't know if that scenario is also your issue @monorailmedic, but mine has been resolved this way.

I too got the Pro version from Amazon years ago when it was a freebie. I'll try downloading the version from the Play Store in the morning. I wrote to TuneIn today, so if this is the issue, it'd be swell if they provided me the key to the newer pro version via the Play Store.

In fact, I mentioned a possible block because IMHO the apps for Android Auto can't work if they aren't able to contact the Google Play store for license activation.

Interesting... Besides license validation of protected apps (which the dev controls) this is the first instance I recall hearing where sideloaded apps won't work.
Developers of AA compatible apps can't just sideload either, even just for testing. App has to go through Google Play as a special AA beta test.
Google requires that all AA compatible apps (and their updates) be tested by them and approved for not being distracting. This is part of their protection for that. Sideloaded or Amazon etc. apps can't be guaranteed to have gone through this testing. (Actually an MD5 of the APK or similar could be done, but that could be abused on rooted devices and Google prefers everything goes through Play anyway.)
So, how are you all using TuneIn? I've been immensely disappointed that there's no favorites/presets list available via AA. Nor is there even the recent stations list available. So, how in the world do you access the stations you want? The lists that are available seem really truncated and have only strange channels I've never heard of. I was able to use voice commands once but now that isn't working and one of my stations wasn't accessible that way either. So, the whole app seems to be essentially useless to me via the AA interface. Bluetooth streaming still works, but defeats the purpose and of course then there's no access to any of the other aspects of AA.

I too have the pro version from Amazon, which i got for free. In order to get it to work with Android Auto you have to install it using google play as the vendor. Same goes with other apps that you sideload
1. Install Tunein Pro from Amazon Store.
2. Save the apk installer file using es Explorer. hxxp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/is-it-possible-to-backup-apk-from-an-installed-application
3. Uninstall Tunein Pro
4. Reinstall using ADB hxxps://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it and it works
You can also "unblock" non-play store apps in AA. Open AA on your phone, then go to "information" then tap many times on the upper bar... it will reveal "developer options". Now tap on 3-dot menu and set developer mode. You should see more apps through car headunit.

SiriusXM app now compatible with Android Auto

Just in case anybody here isn't aware, SiriusXM has enabled Android Auto for their app, starting with version 4.3.0.
A little heads up.....there is some server side magic going on here. I hadn't been offered an update through Play Store, so I went to APKMirror and downloaded 4.3.0, which is the AA compatible version. AA did not work for me. After a bit of frustrated tinkering, I went back to what was being offered by Play Store, version 4.2.0. Two days ago I was offered the 4.3.0 update, and now it works.
So if Sirius doesn't want you to have it, you won't get it by simply installing the APK.
Sirius working on AA is a huge plus for me. A little buggy, as are all Sirius app releases.
any apps that you download from other than GP, you have to use adb pm install from computer, and assign the app vendor to google play, then only the apps work with AA2.9

All 4 (UK Channel 4 etc streaming app) issues? Note app removed from Play Store!

I'm not aware of any 'playback issues' with the All 4 app on my P20 Pro. It was just by chance that I noticed the app was no longer in the Play Store. Accessing Play Store from my Nexus 6P I discovered the following explanation:
"Huawei P20, P30 and Honor Mate 10 devices have been disabled from the store due to an ongoing video playback issue. We're currently working hard to investigate the root cause of the problem and will have it back available for download again soon. "
Anybody have playback issues? Warning: if you delete the app for any reason, you won't for the moment be able to re-install it from the Play Store.
[Huawei P20 Pro CLT-L09 9.0.0.255 (C782)]
