How to download apps for samsung 520d






















And while most Samsung smart TVs come with popular apps like Netflix preinstalled, they offer other apps to download too. Let's see how to download apps on your Samsung smart TV to expand what you can do with it. To download apps, you'll need to have your TV connected to the internet via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly.

As long as that's the case, hit the Home button on your remote to open the main menu. There, use the navigation pad to scroll over to and select Apps , which is on the left side of the menu.

This will open the Apps page essentially the store and settings all in one , where you can see all the offerings available for your Samsung TV. Use the navigation page to look around the headings on the homepage, such as Editor's Choice and Most Popular.

There's even a selection of games, if you really want to play those with a TV remote for some reason. If you can't find the app you're looking for by scrolling through the menu, select the Search magnifying glass icon at the top-right to enter a query. When you open an app's page, you'll see information about it, like its size, date of last update, screenshots, and a brief description.

To install the app to your TV, simply hit the big Install button here. This will immediately begin the download process, then install the app to your TV. You'll see a notification at the top of your screen when it's done. You'll find all the apps on your TV listed under the Downloaded App section of the main Apps menu mentioned above.

Your three most recently used apps also appear under Recent when you select the Apps icon from the menu. However, neither of these locations are convenient if you use a lot of apps. Thus, it's a good idea to add apps that you use regularly to your home screen. You'll see an Add to Home button on an app's page right after you install it. To add one later, select the Settings gear at the top-right of the main Apps menu.

This brings you to a page where you can see all the apps you've downloaded. BMW also promises the ability to schedule trips and get alerts when to leave based on local traffic conditions. Honestly, though, you'd probably be better relying on Waze for that. One well-known disadvantage of Android is the more fragmented ecosystem, which can make it difficult to maintain compatibility between devices. Bluetooth is one area where that plays out; different devices support different Bluetooth versions and codecs, which could mean a device that works with one Android phone won't work with another, or will work differently.

The flip side is the relative openness of the Android system, as Google has put fewer restrictions on what third-party apps and devices can do with the user's permission.

This means that after navigating any potential connectivity issues, you might find yourself being able to do more with your phone. Comparing a Samsung and Apple flagship phone, you often find it's the former that will be able to do more through the iDrive after establishing a Bluetooth connection.

Sending emails or viewing SMS, for example, can be problematic with an iPhone, but Android users are likely to be able to access all this information through their BMW's interface. As Bluetooth capability depends both on your vehicle and smartphone, you should check exactly what features you can expect to be able to take advantage of on BMW's website.

What that support actually translates to, though, differs between the three. The first thing to make clear is that BMW remains committed to producing its own voice assistant for use in its cars.

That means it could be a long time until Google Assistant is able to handle everything you can do through BMW's voice commands, such as changing the FM radio station or adjusting the native navigation. Then again, if you're committed to streaming music and third-party navigation options like Google Maps, that might not matter.

So what can you do with Google Assistant? Largely the same as you can already do through the BMW Connected app. After connecting your Google and BMW Connected accounts, you'll be able to ask Google Assistant to check your BMW's doors are locked, set the climate control before you're ready to leave or send destinations to your navigation system.

Unlike Siri — which can be called while driving by long-pressing the voice command button on the steering wheel in compatible vehicles — Google Assistant is more suited to using outside your car, by speaking to your Google Home speaker. By the time you're behind the wheel, your options are limited, but you'll still be able to access Google Assistant by "Hey, Google"-ing at your Android smartphone.

Assuming it's streaming audio through your car stereo over Bluetooth, the experience won't be too different from an actual, built-in solution. Just remember you won't have any voice control over your BMW. That's the rub. Using an Android phone with your BMW can sometimes be a little frustrating, and you might have to make a few sacrifices here and there. But with a little perseverance and the right hardware, you'll have a Googley BMW in no time.
