Thanks! The launcher I'm using on my phone is called TSF Shell. It's pretty expensive ($15ish), but they have deals on it pretty often. The only reason I bought it was because I got a $25 Google play store gift card and didn't know what to spend it on haha.
That one depends. If you are connected to your phone via Bluetooth it uses whatever your phone is set to. So if you have Wi-Fi turned on on your phone then it'll use the Wi-Fi, but if you don't have Wi-Fi on your phone it'll use your phone's data plan. If you aren't connected to your phone via Bluetooth it will use either the Gear S' data plan or Wi-Fi depending on if your Gear S is connected to a wireless network.
I took a look through the Samsung app store and couldn't find anything. Not even an app that would only work with Samsung smart TVs so I'd have to say no. If I ever find a way to control a TV with the Gear S I'll be sure to post a video about it though :-)
why does ur Samsung gear app open opera web browser but my gear 2 when I open gear app there's no opera browser option at all is it cause gear s offers different apps?
Hi nice review !!! I subcribed to your channel. I have a question and I hope you can help me . I just got my Gear S and the only two thinks I want to do with this is whatsapp and youtube videos. How can I install these app to the Gear S ? Thanks in advance !!!
Can you provide the opera mini browser apk and the cmd instructions? I just got a second hand Gear S but cannot find the Opera mini browser in the Gear app store. A little help and the APK file would be great.
I got Opera mini to download on my Samsung 6 edge but it did not download to my Gear s watch. I am paired with my phone. Not sure what to do. Is there another app that will do pretty much the same thing?
I finally figured out how to get the Mini Opera on my Samsung Gear S Smartwatch using my Samsung Galaxy S8+ ...By using the Samsung Gear App... I clicked on the Samsung Gear S App Then The Samsung Galaxy Apps ...Then selecting on top row Gear ...above the word Gear..I clicked on the 3 vertical dots...Then selected My apps...next selected All and the Mini Opera was listed in the scroll down list...clicked that and from there was able to add it to my Samsung Gear S watch. Everything on my watch is now working...including all internet ...
I just got a second hand Samsung Gear S watch and use it with my Note 8. In the Gear App store from the Gear app I cannot find the opera mini browser? What happened to it and where can I find it?
hi I see that your video is a few years old I got a Samsung gear, and I can't get it to work like your video, I go into and it doesn't have option for Samsung gear apps, it just says Samsung galaxy apps, has it changed since this video, I have a galaxy 8

can you please do a video about how to make Calendar notifications show up on the gear s watch? Currently if im blue tooth and I will not get calendar notifications. However I have noticed that whenever the bluetooth is disconnected I will get a calendar notification on my watch. Seems weird to me, maybe you can help? I'd really appreciate it!
Google+ does NOT work on the Gear S. I have Opera Mini Browser installed, but when I try to log in to my Google+, error messages says that my browser is NOT compatible with Google+. They list the browsers that work with Google+, and Opera Mini Browser is NOT one of them.
Also, Instagram does NOT work in Opera Mini Browser on the Gear S. I see the title "Instagram," but that is all. Just a white blank page, with the title "Instagram". I can use GearGram, but not quite the same as the full Instagram app.
Can't log into Facebook, for Oprah mini browser on my gear s? The problem is in the password box. I've tried many time's and know my password is correct.
Hey please somebody respond when I download the opera mini browser i open it then it displays “installing" and then it says there is a problem with the Internet connection and it does not work please help
I've seen that happen a couple times. Usually when I was trying to install more than one app at a time. A restart usually fixed the issue. I'd try that :) And Merry Christmas! :)
Another issue: I can only sign in with one Gmail account. I tried logging out of that account, so I can add another account, but it does not work. I even tried deleting that Gmail account, but still cannot sign in to my main Gmail account (using Opera Mini Browser).
I see what the problem is. Opera Mini Browser for the Gear S is outdated and will not work with certain websites, like Google+ , Gmail, and Instagram. Hopefully Samsung or whoever provides updates will fix this issue and give us another update for our Gear S .....
goto gear apps.type TH-cam and you guys fill find a app with other name xenozu .install it..and see TH-cam with different name ;) goto glaxy app store .then gear n search TH-cam..n install
+Melissa Ren Is it still not available for you? I just bought a Gear S off Groupon last week, and it arrived Friday. I set it up, and Opera was one of the apps I installed. I'm using a Note 4 as well.
Chris Auditore Sure you are, it is a phone and watch in one unit, so you're able to use it as a standalone phone, but don't think you're able to install apps besides pairing it up with a galaxy phone :/
Is there any link so i can download the operamini?its gone in the store
That is really cool! The first Gear S is better than the second one.
Very informative...blessings bro!
Great videos man,keep up the good work. what program are you using to make your apps circle like that..thanks in advance.
Thanks! The launcher I'm using on my phone is called TSF Shell. It's pretty expensive ($15ish), but they have deals on it pretty often. The only reason I bought it was because I got a $25 Google play store gift card and didn't know what to spend it on haha.
You can get that effect with ADW launcher as well & its a great launcher & not as expensive as TSF Shell
Techisode TV ok,I thought launchers like that aren't for this watch unless you rooted the watch.if so make a video of that please.
on my phone it says phone and gear on the phone option I can find opera but on the gear option it doesn't have it
Grover Robinson me too
Did something work for you?
Grover did you ever get another app to work?
When you use Opera, does it use the BT connection to the phone (and thus the phone mobile or wifi) or does it use the 3G sim in the Gear S?
That one depends. If you are connected to your phone via Bluetooth it uses whatever your phone is set to. So if you have Wi-Fi turned on on your phone then it'll use the Wi-Fi, but if you don't have Wi-Fi on your phone it'll use your phone's data plan. If you aren't connected to your phone via Bluetooth it will use either the Gear S' data plan or Wi-Fi depending on if your Gear S is connected to a wireless network.
Opera mini is no longer in the gear apps - please help me get it on my gear s.
thank you
Looks like a great watch. There is no IR blaster though. Is there a way to control your smart TV using the watch through wifi?
I took a look through the Samsung app store and couldn't find anything. Not even an app that would only work with Samsung smart TVs so I'd have to say no. If I ever find a way to control a TV with the Gear S I'll be sure to post a video about it though :-)
+Dave Rawlins Why use your watch instead of the remote? I don't understand that.
