I purchased the Note 7 2 days ago, and received the Gear S2 free. I love the concept, but I'm having a crazy issue that I cannot find an answer to anywhere online. I've called AT&T 4 times but they are useless.

With Bluetooth OFF, or even my phone off, I receive calls and MMS messages on my watch like I should. I do not, however, receive any SMS messages. I get pictures, or group messages, but not regular old text messages.... ?!? Help?

I'm also experiencing brutal battery life. Reading online that sounds pretty common, but seriously? It doesn't even last a day. Seems pointless....

If I can get the texting thing working I could at least wear the watch for a few hours until the battery dies and leave my phone in the car. Thx...
