Hey all, I'm looking for some up to date info about the Samsung Gear S3 and our OP3.
Is it working alright? I searched the forums, but the S2 is mentionned, and on the Gear S3 XDA forums, I read that non Samsung phones don't offer things like email sync functionality, etc.
Any one of you have that watch? Let me know, I'm considering it (alongside the ZenWatch 3)

I'm kind of experienced when it comes to rooting phones. My friend wants the pop-up video feature I have where you can watch videos in the background on his Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII. Is there a way I can get that for him, even if it's through rooting it? Thanks, & sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere. Thanks!
I've seen a couple threads in other forums but no one has really answered them. Action shot mode is pretty damn cool feature in my buddies Galaxy S2 and even the original Galaxy S phones. Why did Samsung leave this out of the S3 and Note 2? Is there any way to get this feature on any other Samsung phone?
Here's an example of what I'm talking about as an attachment

Odd, I keep seeing that shot listed as a feature, but I don't see it on the phone. I wonder if it's available on the international.
I am not sure if this is the appropriate section to post this.
I am deciding between buying Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy Note 2.
I dont have a smart phone, but i need one badly. Most of my work is university related, emails, pdf , notes, ebooks. I dont have a laptop nor tablet. But I do have a power house desktop lol.
I am with mobilicity, so I prefer penta band phones or at least quadband phones for UMTS frequencies.
I really like Galaxy note 2, but the software support makes me think otherwise and also the size of it. I can grip the Gnote 2 in one palm of my hand, so that isnt much of a issue i guess.
Galaxy Nexus has the great software support from google directly! But this phone is really out dated and i have to pay $372 with tax to get it brand new. I am not much of a used phone guy anymore, too many bad experiences.
Any suggestion would be appreciated, thanks!
Outdated?
Go for the Note 2 then, you already decided.
Since you are using it for work related stuff, you don't need the latest android imo, the bigger screen on the Note will help in reading all that documents too..

well isn't it outdated? I am looking at it from the perspective that its 1 year old or more though. I won't be constantly doing work, but you know here and there sort of work.
Problem would be carrying it around though.
Thanks for your input though
My Thoughts
I use the Galaxy nexus for work constantly! I am an IT manager and need the email and document functionality as well. I haven't had an issue with this! Everything has worked great for the past year. I like the nexus also because I play with the developing and flashing piece of it.
The nexus is still a great phone! I will be using it happily for the next year! The developer community alone is worth it to me.
with that said, If I was mostly looking at email, documents, and notes I would go with the Note II. The reason for that is the screen size. I also like the idea of having a stylus for writing and notes. I find it hard to take notes with a third party stylus on the nexus, so I would choose the dedicated stylus that Samsung has created. I have tested it and find it very useful and practical for note taking. The hardware is also quite nice on the note II.
That's my 2 cents...
SO it's been awhile since i bought a new HTC but after finding out yesterday that T- Mobile will be releasing it on wednesday the 18th i was a happy camper , then i remembered that my Galaxy Gear S2 watch 4G is not compatable with my One plus X , So i figured i would call HTC Support and ask if the new phone will work with my new 4G watch
and i am sad to say that i was told it will not work , that it's not even a software issue but a hardware issue as well, was really looking forward to buying this Phone if anyone has any positive input it would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

My gear s2 is working perfect with my htc 10
My S2 and HTC 10 work but I can't get notifications on text messages or gmail or FB or been able to download Android Pay. Anything you would recommend?
I'm actually having issues getting my gear fit 2 paired
My Fitbit Surge will not pair with my HTC 10. Called Fitbit Tech support and told they're reviewing the issue.
Told to check back later. Called back a month later and told there's still no solution. Understand that the same issue affects the Samsung Galaxy S7. Anyone have recent information about this matter?

Had issues pairing a few Bluetooth devices. Guess the is the 10s wreak spot.
Called Fitbit Tech Support again today, Sept. 18th, and got the same answer as before.

I have my gear s2 paired just fine. Below is what I would suggest:
1) delete your gear s2 from Bluetooth settings on your phone and make sure the gear s2 is factory reset.
2) open play store and download Samsung Gear, Samsung accessory service, S health, and Gear Plugin.
3) open Samsung Gear and pair normally.
If you are missing any of those apps, it will not work properly.
Have no problems with my HTC10 and Samsung Gear Fit2 combo. Most important thing is to factory reset the gear before pairing!
Get the same performance and notifications as with my former daily the Note4
Every time I make a call or receive a call the watch takes over the call via Bluetooth. It's super annoying and can't seem to figure this out. Any ideas?

I experience the same problems. I wonder if someone has figured this out already?
Subsequently I experience the problem that my gear loses its bluetooth connection for approx. 5 seconds when my HTC 10 goes into standby. I wonder if there's a fix for this problem as well...
So I won't lie i didnt check to see if anyone posted about this already cause I was so excited but like the title says I got the Samsung pay to work today with my S2 classic and my un-rooted verizon lg v20.
I originally came from the note 7 to the v20 and like many I have a samsung smartwatch. I was worried i would never be able to use the samsung pay feature of the watch until I saw an announcement about the s3 being able to have samsung pay on other, non-samsung devices so i started looking in gear manager. I already had the spay beta on the classic, but could never use it due to not being samsung. But today something was different. Today when I held the top button on it actually tried to open the app.
This is the point when i went into settings on gear manager and saw the samsung pay icon and when i clicked it i had to update the app a few times and get samsung push app and then boom, samsung pay is fully functional on my s2 classic now. Wondering if anyone gad had luck. Lmk your story.
My Gear S3 Frontier is on the way!! Thanks fro posting this.
