Gear S and Opera

[dorrien12]

What is the best way to reach out to them?
I have never had issues like this, usually able to get it rolling.

Samsung.com, support tab, can chat with an agent that will walk you through.

I have Opera Mini on my Gear S. Works great, even with only 2G. I can access Facebook, G-mail, search for job assignments, and more .....

Do you have it connected to a Galaxy S6 Edge? If so location?

Re: Gear S and Opera Galaxy S6

So I just spoke to Samsung S6 support they actually have a group of people just for this type of thing. After about an hour they told me that its not just Opera mini but about 50 other apps that will not load into the Samsung store because the S6 is running 5.0.2. They gave me a case number and said they are aware of the issues and have no expected time for a fix.

I reconnect my Note 4 and S5 to my Gear S and it installs fine reconnect to my S6 and does not show up. I confirmed it with them on the phone using hangouts so they could see the issue


Hope this helps everyone out ( atleast you wont feel crazy when everyone that has anything but an s6 tells you its there)

Just got my Gear S in Colorado. No Opera. Anyone?

Opera needs to be downloaded from Galaxy App store. But if you have the latest Galaxy S6/S6 Edge, you might not be able to.

It is not really a 5.0.2 issue as my Galaxy Alpha running 5.0.2 find the Opera app just fine.

Re: Gear S and Opera Galaxy S6

Thank you Rayatcal. Saved me a lot of brain damage. Very disappointing. Have you had much success with the GearWeb app? Seems to suck a little...

On S3 I was able to download Opera, On my Samsung S6 I can only see Devinci

I bought an AT&T Gear S from Amazon. I can't see Opera, nor several other apps in the store that other people can. I thought it was because I was using an International version of the GS6 (SM-920I). If this is happening to everyone who's using a GS6, then that gives me hope that it may be something Samsung can fix down the road.

I have the gear s, and although Opera installed successfully, I can`t browse with it. Says " connection failed - Content blocked by operator ". Any ideas folks. Have no issues with my network provider.
