    Step counter is way off

    Samsung doesn't play well with 3rd party hardware, as well as fitbit doesn't play well with others. Like the fitbit app and still using my S Health app, with no conflicts.

    Step counter is way off

    nice article, but reading with my 3rd eye, I found flaw with this article on a couple of things. 1) In this thread we're specifically talking about "Step Counting", which this article doesn't talk about and the 2nd paragraph was very vague: "Researcher's results showed all the trackers to be...

    ATT Gear S2 3G "Mobile Network Unavailable" Numbersync

    glad it's working for you, because one of the main requirements is that the phone has HD Voice capabilities. Maybe you did peep AT&T's hold card on this one issue with the HD Voice requirement, trying to trick peeps into getting a newer phone when it's not necessary/

    ATT Gear S2 3G "Mobile Network Unavailable" Numbersync

    Hope this isn't a corporate account, because it's not going to work. You need to go online to your AT&T account and turn on the feature for your cell number. Call AT&T and make sure that the feature is turned on and everything is good on their end. Now try again to get a sync code and keep in...

    ATT Gear S2 3G "Mobile Network Unavailable" Numbersync

    You're adding a line and they might do a credit check and I know this isn't the best time for you to have your credit dinged for this. But they're supposed to inform you prior, because you have to give consent. My 2nd Gear S watch and each time I added and got a new cell number for the watch...

    Step counter is way off

    Using my fitbit HR as well and noticed that my S2 step count is always reads higher than my fitbit. Now does that mean my S2 is inaccurate? Not necessarily, because I'm pretty sure that both use different algorithms for their count, not to forget that these products are not the same. So to...

    Tempered glass screen protector for Gear S2 Sport that fits well?

    Got mines from Ebay and no it doesn't cover the screen completely, but it's good enough. If you're charging your phone and you see that green circle it looks like that. It barely doesn't cover it completely and I believe the design was purposely done that way so not to interfer with the bezel...

    Massive battery drain in 9 hours

    It is a strong possibility that your initial upgrade was corrupted. That is why a factory reset is important and sometimes needed. Just glad it worked out for you and hopefully others will eventually get the same success. Posted via the Android Central App

    Massive battery drain in 9 hours

    Good luck, because after a few factory resets, etc. I have no issues with battery drain or notifications. But you'll need to call AT&T to make sure that NumberSync is working properly on their end. I had to call a few times on that issue, that's the critical part. Just call and have them...
