Manage App missing option in Smart Manager? - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the Tab S2 8" runing Android 5.02 that was bought at Amazom.fr. Its the wifi version only and before I received it I was watching this video where it shows two options "Backgrounds Apps" and "Manage Apps".
The thing is that I don't have it like it was shown in the video. Any idea why?
Read some sites that said that is like a region lock. Is there any way to install some other FW in my tablet? Like Android FW in the phones?

I've installed 5.1.1 with two different versions, the Canada (XAC) and the Cellular South (XAR) and neither of them has this option! Can't find in which version it has the Manage Apps option in the Smart Manager.
Any help with this?

Same issue missing manage apps on smart manager note 5
How can my manage apps on smart manager note 5 note shown

Better use Greenify and/or Task manager,

[Q] DENIED! P1010 on the Android Market

The Android Market is hiding many apps from Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1010 devices... they say it because the apps are incompatible with the device because it is not a phone, just a tablet. But those same hidden apps are available to other tablets and show up for them, plus I've downloaded several of these supposed incompatible apps on other devices, transfer to the P1010, installed and they work fine???... what's going on with that... anyone know what's really going on?

I don't have a p1010,just a gsm tab but I also get incompatibility message because of my present location as indicated on my gmail account I use to access the market.
Try to use market enabler.
When you post apps on Android market it tells you which hardware requirement does the device need to meet to run this app. Sometimes the requirement is just touchscreen or location sensor etc, but sometimes it is more than that. Maybe some sort of error and your device isnt on the list of devices which show up after the filter is applied.

If I root with z4, is there a way for me to have my p1010 identify itself as a p1000 so that I spoof the market?

[Q] side loaded apps dissapear after 5 minutes

as title, I have just installed wondershare on my pc and sideloaded mx player, angry birds and a couple of other apk files. my watch and phone (s4) are both stock unrooted and running the latest gear manager and watch software.
now after about 5 minutes I get a notification on the gear that it has disconnected from the phone and the sideloaded apks have gone. they still show up on wondershare but have to be uninstalled and reinstalled to show on the gear.
The installed apps work fine after installing them, and I didnt I have this issue when I 1st played with it at Christmas on my wondershare trial , but the trail ran out and I updated things.
So is this a problem with the gear manager software? or the gear itself? or me?
Use an older version of gear manager

hi ,
first ,it is not a Wondershare "problem "but i think its just "Sammy" that not to happy to let us sideload on Gear ??
As this issue with apps, worked 100% on previous rom and Gear Manager software untill a" few " versions" back .
yes ,i have same problem ( using rom NA6 and Gear Manager v1.6.132701 )
but it does not worry me ,as i know apps are working ..etc
i use a workaround , Thus having benefits of latest software /ROM and gear manager (unless its really buggy )
if you want to ,all you have to do is reboot Gear and if you look in 'apps 'section on your Gear ,
all your sideloaded apps should show ( before they evenually disappear from "apps " section.)
i launch each app once and close it straight away .( the reason is that it is in memory of recent use app )
if i need to launch a sideloaded app i tap screen with 2 fingers on screen , and hold to bring up all recent used apps and select relevant app ?
(No need to reinstall etc .)
also yes,
you should get it right, with previous version of Gear manager
but you would have to go back 2 ..3 versions mabe to vers .1.5......?
(but you are going to lose other" improved benefits eg. like better bluetooth stability between phone and Gear ? etc.
just an alternative suggestion if you interested
Previous posters solution works however.....I have experienced the same issue tonight after the most recent upgrade to Gear software. Rebooting worked also. My fault as I wanted to restore to factory settings to remove QuickTwit from Notifications (a bug). The upgrade did offer a restore which I didn't take D'Oh!! I then did a restore via Wondershare.
I found that the approved Samsung apps like eBay for Gear and RadiOn although restored to the Gear via Wondershare had to be installed to Gear Manager by installing the apps from scratch.
Now all the apps don't disappear after 5 mins. Co-Incidence?
However, they do not appear on the list of downloaded apps, as they did with the previous version of Gear Manager.
Do also make sure the 3rd party app permissions box is ticked on the Gear Manager too.

thanks for the reply, however your method does not work for me, after a reboot of the watch the sideloaded apps are not there??
looks like I am going to have to root the watch.

Going back from Gear Manager v1.6 to v1.5 fixed issue for me. There's a nice collection of Gear Managers in this page:

I hope it was just a bug in Gear Manager v1.6, and Samsung is not really trying to prevent sideloading.

[Q] No apps appearing in Samsung gear appstore

Hello all,
I've been using a non-rooted Galaxy note 3 and Gear combo now for a while, but recently decided to take the plunge and flashed Tizen onto my Gear. However, after the upgrade, I can no longer access any of the gear apps in the samsung app store. The initial app store homescreen displays a few apps, such as the editor's picks, etc. but once I select any of the displayed apps, it gives me a "no data" message. It also displays the same "no data" screen if i hit the "Top" or "Category" tabs at the top of the screen I've tried reflashing different versions of Tizen, and presenty have a rooted version of NE9 running.
Has anyone else come across this problem? or better yet, has anyone actually been able to remedy it?
I am getting the exact same problem. Note 3 and Gear 1, just upgraded to Tizen last night and now Gear Manager apps show no data. Hope someone can provide a fix.

Mysterious Application

Hi,
I decided to clean up My Apps on the Play Store by going into the Play Store App, selecting My Apps and then hitting the "X" to drop those I no longer require.
That all worked fine but on my Galaxt Tab 8.9 there is one application called "eBook Application" from "Samsung Electronics Inc" which has me puzzled.
I have no recollection of ever installing this app and now it seems there is no way to get rid of it.
It appears only on the Play Store list, I can not find it anywhere on the device.
The attached screen shots should explain the problem.
When I select from the list I get the second screen saying that my device is not compatible with this version.
It's not a train smash, but it is annoying.
ANy advice or info will be gratefully welcomed.

Hmmm have you tried checking your Applications list?
Settings > Applications > All > look for "eBook Application" or possibly "Samsung eBooks" etc. > tap it and then select Disable (that is, if it'll let you uninstall it, Samsung can be crappy like that )
Hello,
I think this app is part of the Samsung apps installed by default on your tab.
Samsung has a "Samsung app Store", and a manager app on the tab for this store.
The eBook app you're talking about is certainly part of that samsung store. I don't know if you can remove it, maybe you can only uninstall updates that have been automatically installed.
Try by using the Samsung app Store, if there is one on you tab.
Hope that helps
If you're on stock rom, you probably can't install it, as it is part of the factory preloaded apps. Still, you can disable them in Settings -> Apps or uninstall updates. Hope this helps.

Galaxy A6 2018 always on display

Hello,
I have puchased a Samsung Galaxy A6 2018 SM-A600FN . There is no "Always on Display" option
There is no AOD option either in Lockscreen settings or security settings or any others settings.
Please someone can help me with apk application Always on Display that works well on this device?
I tried these apps but it does not work well on this device
hello, i wanna say one thing.....
galaxy a6 doesn't support always on display, but galaxy a6+, a8, a8= does.
actually you cloud try to search an ap in google play store. but the display can burn out if you do that so bettery don't try.
well @Jake Veraul maybe due older software but that's not true.
My wife had aod on A6 (exactly this model SM-A600FN) and it worked just fine until latest update on pie.
I uninstalled it and now I can't find apk anywhere. Is there some link for this apk?
