    Who pre-ordered from Best Buy??

    I walked into my local Best Buy store last night to pre-order one and they said they have an exclusive with Samsung so they sold me one right there, walked out with phone VR and the SD card...I didn't know that was going to happen.

    Are you using a smart watch with your Note 4?

    I have the Gear 2 Neo and it works great.

    Did your Note 4 charger cable have a sticker?

    Mine did. I have a galaxy tab S 10.5 and the chargers look the same except for that sticker. When I have both charging, I know to plug my N4 into the one with the sticker so I can get fast charging.

    What is the best smart watch for the Galaxy Note 4 (Gear 2, Moto 360, Gear Live, Gear S)?

    Re: Best smart watch for Galaxy Note 4 (Gear 2, Moto 360, Gear Live, Gear S) I've had the Gear 2 Neo for about a month. May not be as stylish as the other watches but I use the watch to answer/make calls which you can't do with Android Wear. I can read my email/text and check my schedule...

    Anybody tempted to upgrade to gear S?

    Not for the price and not for $5/month.

    Developing news app for wearables - need help

    I use the wearable as a companion to the Note 4, so I primarily use my Gear 2 Neo to receive notifications of email/text/phone calls. This saves me from having to pull my phone out of my pocket just to see if I need to respond/reply/answer. I use the music player to control music on my phone...

    Your top 3 apps for Gear 2

    I really like the functionality of reading/replying to email/text/calls. Other than that I like the media player to control music on the phone, Gearam Music ID is fun to use, and Smart Hub has potential to be useful.

    Note 4 syncs email to S5

    That was it. IMAP versus POP3. I deleted my account and manually set it up using POP3 and set delete on server to Never. When I set up my phone initially and I added my email account it chose IMAP.

    Note 4 syncs email to S5

    That's the deal. We've only ever had 1 account and we have both been logged into it from different devices for ever with out this issue. Only when I went to the Note 4 from Motorola, this started happening. I understand I can set up different email accounts...I was curious if this is normal...

    Note 4 syncs email to S5

    A little off topic but hoping someone could help.... My wife has a S5. I am coming from a Motorola Razr Maxx HD. We have 1 email account that is not gmail. Our email is from Cox, our ISP. We do not sync gmail. Up until my switch to the Note 4, we could each receive, read, reply, delete...

    Switching from the 360.

    I bought the Gear 2 Neo (didn't want a camera) and love it. I use it all the time. I have all my emails, texts, and garage door open alerts come to my watch. I go through 25-30% battery a day, so I can go over 2 full days. I love the ability to change tracks and volume on my phone while...

    Speed Dial or Direct Call Contact App

    I'm looking for an app where I can have an icon to direct call people, like my wife, kids, etc... The dialer works fine and contacts work fine....just takes too long. I found that using the logs or notifications work well to make a call, but I would sure love an icon that I could press and it...

    Gear Manager Settings Crash

    I have a gear 2 neo, that I got 10/24, a day after I got the Note 4. I know it installed a couple updates when I was setting it up, but everything seems to work fine on it.
