Can't install Add-On: Samsung

[MB_se]

The Teamviewer "Add-On: Samsung" wont install on Samsung Galaxy S10+. Works great on Samsung Galaxy S8.

I belive Teamviewer needs to publish an updated version on Google Play Store.

[KlausNV]

I have the same problem. Device is a Galaxy S10. I also think they have to publish an updated version of the add-o, because the last update was back in 2015.

[BPC-Support]

I'm having the same problem with Galaxy S9, android version 9.

Any word on a solution, workaround, or  a fix for this issue?

[KlausNV]

I think we have to wait until TeamViewer fix this issue. Or u step back to android 8 (oreo), if that is possible. 

[Duh]

Did anyone try to install the older version to see if it installed,

[redrooster]

Ah ok, hopefully they can fix the problem quickly. It's a shame it doesn't work on newer devices. Also no work around for it?

[KlausNV]

The Problem is that the app was build back in 2015 and is likely to have an old API (API Level 23?). Since android pie it is required to have at least API level 26.

So the only solution is to step back to android oreo or to wait until TeamViewer releases an update.

[redrooster]

Not working on my S9+ either unfortunatley

[taktlos]

Can someone from TeamViewer give us some details about the problem? On my Pixel 3 with Andoid 10, the screen sharing works (even though the remote control does not work)

[Tom_56]

I'm having the same problem with Galaxy S10e and S10.

I had the same problem on Samsung Galaxy A50 with One UI 9.1
Can some one of developers fix it?

[EddyAM2689]

The same thing happens to me, I think that since they have not updated Add-On: Samsung since 2015, and for Android 9 it does not work, that's why it gives an error every time I want to install it, I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 + Android 9 One UI 1.1.

Please TeamViewer team update Add-On: Samsung.

[nibintpl]

Same issue is with my new Galaxy A50. The Add-on is showed in the playstore but the installation is failed whenever I tried. Even though it woring well on my Galaxy A5 2017 model. Hope teamviewer team will fix this soon.

[ErikB]

Same problem here. We have S9 and A8. Both devices can't install the Samsung add-on anymore. Now TeamViewer is not functioning anymore.

Any reply from TeamViewer would be greatly appreciated!

[KlausNV]

Hello guys,

i'm currently in contact with the TeamViewer Team about the problem. Their developers are still working on an update for the addon. But I have also good news:

I got an test version, which is working without any issues!!

I asked the Team, if i'm allowed to publish the apk here in the community, but until now no replay.

I will keep you up to date with the latest news.

Best regards,

Klaus

[kiberpsyx]

Great News! Thank you very much!

[Tom_56]

Wow,

thanks for the information.
I really hope that after such a long time something finally happens.

Regards, Tom

[nibintpl]

Oh. This is a great news. At last something good is going to happen.

[redrooster]

Really glad to hear they're working on the problem!

[Duh]

So any word if you are allowed to share it yet, because we really need it!

[KlausNV]

First of all, i got no answer from the TeamViewer team about publishing the apk. But I got so many messages from you guys about the apk, that I decided to publish the link:

[expired link removed ]

Have fun with the APK. Maybe you can give some feedback, if things are broken or don't work.

Maybe you can spread some kudos ;-)

[EddyAM2689]

Thanks, installed

[nibintpl]

Thank you. I could install this version.

[Tom_56]

Thanks,

Installed on Galaxy S10, so far no problem.

Regards, Tom

[Duh]

Thanks alot! It works, the only isseu i can find is i can't wake up the phone if i connect, the screen is black and i can't push any button to wake it up. If i connect to my samsung j3 i get an blue button bar to wake up phone, i don't get it on my s8 and s9. Is there a work around for this? (The way i do it now is to call the phone and connect at the same time so the screen is on lol)

The problem I have not, the screen is synonymous black, but when I swipe with the mouse from the PC, the phone is woken up and I can enter the unlock code, via the PC.

My Phones:

- Galaxy S7
- Galaxy S8
- Galaxy S10e
- Galaxy S10

[Duh]

What if try to connect from phone to phone? If i connect from my s8 to my s9 i can't wake up the phone because there is no button bar. If i connect from my s8 to my J3 i get a little blue button bar wich i can use to wake up the phone.

From phone to phone, I've never used TeamViewer.
I basically do this only from the PC to the phone.

Supplement:
I have just made the test, I remotely controlled the S10 with the S8, no problem. The TeamViewer host application is installed on the S10 and the Teamviewer remote control app on the S8.

[Duh]

Oke, but can you wake up the phone with your other phone if the screen is off, the remote works but only if i manually wake up the phone first

[Tom_56]

Unfortunately, if the S10 has not been used for a few minutes, the host application does not start automatically and the connection does not open.

[Duh]

Ok, try this for me, make a connection and if you are connected turn of your screen and see if you can wake up the phone

If I do it the way you want it with my S8, the screen of the S10 stays black and can not be woken up.

If I do it the way you want it with my PC, then I can wake up the S10.

[Duh]

And that is what is my problem, if i connect to my J3 i get this little bar like you would have if you turn on your phone (call it the taskbar if you want) but if i connect to my samsung s8 i don't get that so i cant press the middle button to wake up the phone

I understand your problem.
Since I use the remote control anyway only via a PC, it is less of a problem for me.
The Samsung PlugIn is only a pre-release, but I am glad that there is this pre-release,
because so I can also now finally use the TeamViewer remote control on the S10 and S10e.

[VENDANGE]

It's OK for me on Samsung S9.

Thank you.

Hi Klaus,

do you have any news from the teamviewer team about an official update? (@ googleplaystore)

BR,
Walter

[sphinxapfel7]

Hello, thank you very much for your help. Could someone send me the file?

[External link removed - Do not download TeamViewer from third-party links]

I won't be hosting it for long though. Grab it (and share it) while you can! 😉

[Mairu]

There you go. TeamViewer won't host it, and they won't let you download it! Easy enough for someone technical to checksum it to see that it's untouched. SMH

[Mairu]

The only issue I've had so far is a little trouble "waking" the phone if the screen is off. I think the new Samsung powersaving is a little extreme.

Using the APK on an S10e.

[sphinxapfel7]

Unfortunately again, did not think that TeamViewer is so fast.

[Mairu]

Shame they can't react to user requests as fast, eh?!

[sphinxapfel7]

Could you put the link again

I have the file hosted but I will not post the link again... it's a surefire way to get my account suspended!

I've generated an MD5 hash for for the APK now. If Klaus would be prepared to check the MD5 against his version of the APK to verify it is untouched, then the links to the APK and corresponding MD5 can be shared via e-mail/PM.

MD5 posted here for permanent confirmation.

Original file name: TeamViewerQSAddon_Samsung.apk  <<-- NOT A LINK
MD5: 7E9E3D49EF97FCCDD93907F2A628EBB2

If TeamViewer would just make the file available again though, with the caveat that it's a beta and may/may not work on an individual basis, then it would be considerably safer for the community.

Link has been removed?

[Bilzzz12345]

Hi,

The link seems to be removed. Would you be kind enough to upload a new link?

[KlausNV]

New Download Link:

[External link removed - Do not download TeamViewer from Third-party websites]

No wonderring I will upload it again after 7weeks :-)
