Gear s2 has been a winner for the most part for me. Looking to use features like opening a facebook notification though. Getting messages when not connected (remotely) to phone. For that and other related uses, we'll need to login to standalone apps on the S2. Hoping to also have some basic...

Another idea I thought of is if recent apps being opened affect battery life, so I'm going to try to remember to "close all" every now and then. Does anyone think this could be a possible issue? It seems like it would if resources are being used on something for recent apps.

Click Shealth app, rotate bezel to settings, rotate to "Auto HR" to adjust frequency/turn it off.

1. 3g version with the size of the non 3g version. I've been noticing/feeling the extra size and weight. 2. More accurate fitness/s-health tracking. 3. Apps. Samsung has to find a way to get/partner with all the major apps other wearables have.

I've had the watch since last Monday and I experienced a very similar battery drain when I barely did anything with the watch. However, I had similar, if not more, usage of watch yesterday and had good battery life. Doesn't make a lot of sense but going to give it more of a chance. If you...

There really needs to be a feature of shealth to track activities like sprints, maybe even weight-lifiting, etc.

I'm getting those ineligible device texts too. Tech support is saying because I used the sim on a blackberry?! Hope that will be resolved soon. Also, it's definitely less of a hassle than having the sim not work, but hope there'll be a way to disable the notification on both watch and phone...

TJohnson, on your phone gear app, do you have notifications allowed on watch for both facebook and messenger? I didn't at first, but it has worked fine since I did.

Holy moly, I "fixed" it on my gear s2! Went through the issue, trying other suggestions, tech support, and a little tinkering. What finally worked for me was settings>Connections>mobile networks and I changed it from "auto on/off" to "always on" and it worked almost instantly. Everything is...

Same/similar issue except, when I try to connect to tmobile network under connections>mobile networks>network operators>search networks it says "unable to connect to this network". I just spent over 30 minutes with tech and have a ticket started as well. The standalone phone and the speaker...

Facebook and Facebook Messenger. Only notifications for Facebook. With Messenger notifications, you can reply to messages with the same options you'd have to reply as if you got a text message on your watch.

I don't disagree with everything you said. I know run-keeper has options to add exercises like weight lifting so it'd probably be better if that was an option, even to input manually that we did it. I am somewhat happy that maybe <200 isn't too off since I'm a smaller build than he is...

I looked it up and an average hour of competitive soccer is 611 calories, since we technically go over an hour, his numbers are more accurate. Again, it wasn't just calories burned that had me thinking my friends 2 year old smartwatch was more accurate...as I mentioned, it was across the board...

Unfortunately, I agree with OP. Played soccer with friends with my S2 for an hour two times this week, used S-health once and Nike Running the other time. My results: My friends 2 year old smartwatch records 1000 calories burned for him , SHealth only showed roughly 200 for me, and...
