    Verizon: Galaxy Note 8 Pre-Order Thread

    I just received an email from Verizon saying mine has shipped. I checked the Fedex tracking number on Fedex site, and it reports that it was picked up this morning and will be delivered Tuesday. My VZW order status shows order complete and has that same tracking number.

    Frontier AND Classic

    I've only had the VZW Classic LTE for a couple of weeks. I've had the AT&T Frontier LTE since last November. I haven't noticed any difference in their remote connections as far as notifications appearing on the watches whether connected by Bluetooth or remotely over LTE networks. Do you have...

    Frontier AND Classic

    I have both: Frontier LTE on AT&T and Classic LTE on VZW. I like them both! Each is paired with a different Android phone, so I can carry my VZW phone and receive notifications from my AT&T phone while wearing the AT&T watch and vice versa. I I just have to keep both phones turned on and...

    The Fingerprint experience gets much better with a case

    Sorry for the double post earlier this morning! I tried taking off the Speck case. I'm still having trouble setting my index fingerprint to unlock the phone. I was able to set it easily with my thumb. However, I won't be using my thumb to unlock it. I guess I'm stuck with another method of...

    The Fingerprint experience gets much better with a case

    I have the Speck Presidio Grip case for my S8+. I put on that case as soon as I activated my phone. I Ike everything about the case except the fingerprint sensor cutout. Until I read this thread, I thought my issue was with the S8+'s fingerprint sensor. I planned to use my left index finger to...

    Email Apps that Display the FULL Email on the Gear S3??

    UPDATE: I've changed my mind and uninstalled Blue Mail from my Galaxy S7. I did a little more digging and ran into a post by David Sklar at his website saying That post was dated a little over two years ago, but I found it somewhat alarming. I'm going to keep searching for an alternative to...

    Email Apps that Display the FULL Email on the Gear S3??

    Thanks, SMD! Based upon your recommendation and the good reviews it has at the Play store, I am going to give Blue Mail a try on my Samsung Galaxy S7 and Gear S3. I have been looking for an alternative to Newton Mail since they have started charging $50 a year for their service. I don't have a...

    How to Block Spam (or any unwanted) Callers

    I tried tapping on the 3 dots. It brings up a screen with just an option to delete that number from your call list. Great idea! I hadn't thought about doing that. I added my watch's number to that directory this morning. However, I've added other numbers to that directory, and it doesn't seem...

    How to Block Spam (or any unwanted) Callers

    I have the AT&T Samsung Gear S3 LTE, and got my first spam call this afternoon. I tried to figure out how to block future calls from that number, did a little online research, etc, but can't figure out how to do that. I did find the following on Page 78 of the manual: However, I can't figure...

    AT&T Preorder Shipping Status?

    I received a shipping notice from AT&T yesterday but mine says UPS not Fedex. I'm in northeast Florida, so I am guessing mine comes from a different warehouse than yours. According to the UPS tracking site my status is "label has been created." I'm a little disappointed the shipping method...

    AT&T Preorder Shipping Status?

    I checked my S3's order status this morning by logging on to my AT&T account and it shows- So I used the online chat feature, and here is a transcript of my chat with Sophia ( a real person? a bot?)- Not too encouraging!

    Gear S3 AT&T Version User Manual

    I preordered the S3 from AT&T a couple of days ago, and have been searching online for the user guide. I found it this morning at http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201610/20161022070847881/ATT_SM-R765A_Gear-S3_EN-UM_TZ_2.3_102116_FINAL.pdf It looks very good to me!

    Which Gear S3 are you buying?

    I am looking forward to the Verizon Wireless version (Samsung SM-R765V) of the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch. I searched for information about which frequency bands that version will support. The Frequency Check website currently shows two variations of the Gear S3. I believe the 'A' version...
