Haven't seen that one here yet. As always, Verizon sucks at updates.

Mine did that today, too! It just....died...around supper time. The only thing I did with it all day was use the stopwatch app to time the grilling of some steaks. WTH?

I still get Gmail updates.

+1 This is a horrible problem with the S2 that desperately needs to be fixed!

Yep, this app is broken for the S2, apparently by the last Samsung update. I hope they get it fixed soon -- it's one of the better apps.

You can go four days without charging?? I've got the 3G model, and always make it through the day, but that's about it. How are you getting such stellar battery life?

For me (I've got the 3G version) the ability to receive calls when I'm laying upside down under a plane, or up on a ladder working on something has been fantastic. Getting text messages has been nearly as useful. Everything else is just cool and fun. ;) Now, if they could get S Voice to work...

I'm amazed to hear someone say there isn't an abundance of watch faces for the S2. I blew over an hour just LOOKING AT the available watchfaces! How many do you need? :)

Just bought it -- and love it! :-)

Me, too!

Re: //Samsung Gear S2 Tips & Tricks\\ What's great is that in two weeks of ownership, I haven't found many "tricks" to be necessary with the S2. To me, this is indicative of a very well thought-out product. Everything is intuitive and just...works. Really, the only trick I've learned...

+1. The two watches are quite different, and everyone is confused because we are all in the same forum.

Just downloaded and installed the update for the 3G Verizon S2. Fairly painless, took <5 minutes, with the watch restarting twice. No obvious changes, nothing exciting. We shall see if the battery life improves.

Sadly, polls are invisible in the Tapatalk app that I use to access this board. My battery life has stabilized at 21 hours, after a few weeks. Since I charge every night, this is perfect.

I've got the S2 3G version, and love it. To be able to receive and make calls on it without being slaved to a cell phone is worth precisely what I paid for it. :)

Yep, I'm on an S5. I can't imagine why that app would be Samsung-only?

It's in the Gear app store. You install Uber on your S2, and the companion app on your phone.

Just used the S2 to order an Uber ride from San Marcos to Austin. It works! Only downside? When the driver messaged me (to ask "Where are you?") I had to use my cell phone to answer. Maybe the S2 would have worked, but I didn't want to screw with it. Otherwise, it was pretty cool to push a...

My battery life was abysmal until someone told me to switch data from "3G on" to "Autoswitch". This turns off the cellular radio whenever you are connected to your phone. Battery life jumped from 12 (or less) to 20+ hours, instantly. Since I sleep at night, anything more than that would be...

There's an app called "Chime" that does what you want.
