    battery not the same after tizen 3.0

    I had the same experience. I had the S2 prior to this and upgraded to the S3 Frontier specifically for the AOD, which is now completely unusable. That was bad enough, but just yesterday it got worse. A few days ago the watch took an OTA update. Then yesterday, in the middle of the day, for no...

    Samsung Pay Error Message - WTF?

    Been using SP for a while now, initially with my S2 and now my S3. The other day I went to pay for my lunch and saw this: The watch had a Bluetooth connection to the phone at the time, and the phone had Internet connectivity. I ended using SP on my phone to pay for lunch, which worked...

    How is your battery life on the watch?

    I had a bad battery day too this week. Can't quite put my finger on the cause, because I was playing around with different watch faces and getting lots of texts and other IMs. Gonna have to pay more attention methinks...

    to those new to samsung pay after getting the S3.

    I have my American Express (Blue Cash) card and my Citibank Mastercard on SamsungPay. AFAIK you can get those cards anywhere in the country. I used SP on my Frontier for the first time on Friday. I don't think the cashier even saw it due to the position of the POS card reader and the speed at...

    Samsung Pay On Gear S3 - Card keeps disappearing after I call to verify card

    If you get really desperate you could even factory reset the phone. FWIW, I have multiple cards on SamsungPay and have never had to call anyone to verify them. That in itself sounds odd to me, and may be indicative of a deeper problem.

    Samsung pay on watch

    I agree - there is clearly some sort of freak glitch in your watch. If a factory reset doesn't cure it you should take it back and exchange it for one that works properly.

    canned text responses

    I had a similar issue with my S2. Some apps, like Signal, use the system-wide list that you can edit in the Gear app, but others, like Skype, seem to have their own internal list of canned responses. If there's any way to edit those I have yet to discover it...

    Why are none available?

    I placed an order for a Frontier (non LTE) on Amazon back when they first came out. They had the $299 sale price but none in stock and the estimate for when they would actually ship ranged from December through January 20th of next year(!!!). That estimate was current as of this morning, but...

    Who is using their S7 Edge without screen protection????

    I had a Note 3 for years, two Note 7s, and now an S7 edge, none of which ever had screen protectors, and none of which ever got scratched. FWIW

    Should I Buy the S3 Now?

    I would love to buy an S3 Frontier now, but they seem to be sold out everywhere! I checked samsung.com, bestbuy.com, and amazon.com, but all show it as out of stock/backordered. WTF? Did Samsung grossly underestimate the demand for these things?

    Same here - I haven't noticed a difference in the battery life.
