If not I will keep you posted. 😉

Det lyder godt

Og så er der endelig nyt fra mig. Min V10F er endelig ankommet og jeg glæder mig sygt meget til at komme hjem og pakke den ud

Samsung app has been already submitted to Galaxy Store in April. Apparently SARS-CoV-2 epidemy and Labour Days are the causes that app review process is delayed:

Unfortunately all we can do is to patiently wait

Can we (us future users) push Samsung somehow to prioritize Your app?

I search for it every day, so I guess I help on search stats :-) but maybe there is some more direct contact channel?

Cant wait for this marvelous app :-)

Nice, I hope you get this learned fast and have loads of fun. Please can you translate your text into English. As we have a forum rule to post at least in English, but it is okey to use google translate or similar services and leave the original language too. It is only in PM or meetup threads we allow non-English posts.

Now I have a little update regarding Samsung (Tizen) version that @Seba sent for public approval to Samsung. It seems Samsung had closed several days just as Seba posted this to Samsung.

Yesterday it turns out they have turned it down. I am not 100% sure why as it looks not to be the Tizen version they are unhappy about but something on the phone main app instead. Or at least that is how I understand their hand dentures on a video response.  I can tell that I have had zero issues with the Tizen version but I have had some or lockup on my phone but I think that was due to opera touch web browser as it kept reopening links on an Amazon page. It had 200+ pages open and since I stopped using it (Opera Touch), I have not had any EUC.WORLD app issues. Like the rest of beta-testers the reports are that it works pretty great.  

But I hope Seba can work out why Samsung is unhappy. When I know more from out beta tester goup I will keep you guys posted on what is going on.  For now you will not find it on Samsung galaxy app store, and there is not other way to sideload this it seems. 

[Fonzerra]

Is it possible that we could get a link to the .apk file maybe?

[Unventor]

According to @Seba there is no way to side load Tizen apps. I have not hear any change beside he would try to resubmit with more explanation to Samsung. 

 

[Unventor]

I can update with a brief status @Seba has been busy but hopefully he can complete video explanation the next few days and then sent off to Samsung for approval again. Sorry for taking this time but we all want this to go though smoothly again so this needs to be done right. 

I hope you understand. And of course I will keep you updated on progress. This time Samsung should not be closed (I think/hope), like last time.

What I understand here, is that those manufacturers should be damn more grateful to all benevolent developpers who work their asses day and night to bring attractive apps on their platforms, making them alive and purposeful. :-)

Thanks again @Seba, and maybe, if you find a diplomatic way to do it, inform these fine people that there is an amount of folks here (count me in) who needed a smartwatch as much as this and bought one solely to use as their EUC dashboard.

We might be a tiny market share, but despise one minute market share and you are doing as well with all other similar ones. Which could eventually add up to a business significant level.

Thank you  I have created special movie with detailed information about EUC World, how it work and how to make watch app testing. I hope this will make Samsung review team aware abouit his app specifics and finally we'll get app puiblished.

This could maybe serve as how to use the app walkthough or?

It was created with Samsung review team members in mind to help them in testing process, so included only things important from their perspective. And it seems this approach was good, as Samsung Gear watch app has been finally approved and should be available in Galaxy Store now  

[Unventor]

Darn you beat me to it King Seba. 

But I were first to rate the app 

[travsformation]

@Seba @Unventor so you can confirm that it's available in Galaxy Store?

Once you confirm., I'll announce it to the Spanish EUC community, a lot of people have been waiting for this!

Just to anticipate their questions, is there a Galaxy Store on the watch or are Tizen apps installed from the Galaxy Store on the phone? (Sorry for the stupid question, but I don't own a Tizen) 

My current daily-use smartwatch is currently a Huawei GT2...   (and a Pebble classic for exclusive use with EUC World!)

[Unventor]

Yes it is there.

You start Galaxy store on you phone. Search for "euc world" go to the tab for watch. And it should list it for you.  

Now my Galaxy store are in Swedish but should look something like this.

In case you don't use a Samsung phone this is the best way I found to link inside Samsung Galaxy app store.

As it seems by now non samsung android phone users have to be a bit more patient. By now it is only installable via galaxy store (only available on samsung phones) and not via the watch or the galaxy wearable app.

If this is right (i'm an absolute newby for this) it the watch app should be available soon, as it is already aporoved?!

 

[Grumly]

Maybe not only non samsung android users. I have a S8, and the search for "EUC world" in the watch tab draws a blank.

Possibly there is some replication delay across their servers before everyone can get it.

If I remember correctly you're using Gear S2. Because app review process was a nightmare, I decided to divide app publications to smaller steps and now it includes only Tizen 3.0 devices. Send me your email address (that is associated with your Samsung account) by private message and I'll add you to beta testers, so you can install and test Tizen 2.3+ version.

Exactly. Samsung phone owners can now use Galaxy Store to install EUC World watch app to their Gear watches. Non-Samsung phone owners have to wait few days more as another review process will finish. Unfortunately, publication of Samsung watch apps is a painful experience

Love your phone app dude, great work =D

@Seba

First of all many thanks for the brilliant Samsung Tizen App.

One Question. I noticed the following today:
My Galaxy Watch 46mm is set up so that the display automatically turns off and turns on again when I lift my arm to look at the watch.  So far this works with all other apps as well.
Only when the EUC App is on, the display does not switch off by itself after 15 seconds at the latest.
If I have started Komoot at the same time and the next navigation message appears on the watch, then the automatic switch-off of the display works again.
Can I adjust the behaviour somewhere in the EUC App and I am once again just too blind?

Then I would like to know if the function "Button Action" under watch settings for my watch works at all. I only have 2 buttons and none of them react to it.

Enter "Watch settings" in phone app and make sure  "Enable power-saving mode" is checked.

Unfortunately hardware buttons can't be used in Tizen app (as they are used by the system). Only screen touch can be used for quick actions.

Thanks  It took longer than I expected, but yeah - it finally arrived! While developing it and publishing was a nightmare, finally I'm happy that this app was welcomed by the community with enthusiasm

[Seba]

Good news - EUC World companion application for Samsung Gear watches should be now available also on non-Samsung phones  Now I'll try to make it compatible with Tizen 2.3+ watches like Gear S2. Keep fingers crossed!
