I bought a Moto G6 in August 2018 and it's been a marvelous phone but for past 2 weeks I have found that the USB Type C socket only charges the phone or transfers data when the USB type C cable is inserted one way round. It must be the socket as opposed to the cable that's gone faulty, as this...

Just to update on my own issues with MapMy Run app on the S3 locking up part way through a workout. Since installing latest version 1.1.3 of MapMy Run I tested the app on a 6 hours + hike on Friday and it worked great without locking up at all. I will test it again this coming Friday before...

Yesterday I reported to Under Armour support my ongoing problems with MapMy Run stopping tracking and locking up/ They have responded as follows:

I'd suggest you check out this thread on the XDA forums: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/myfitnesspal-endomondo-map-run-t3566138 Personally, I love the display on MapMy Run for th3 Gear S3, BUT (as you will read in the thread) I have not been able to successfuly track a whole...

Interesting - see my post about the tracking just giving up on MapMyRun and also with the built in SHeath tracking here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-gear-s3/773649-map-my-run.html My hikes are with a group of older people and certainly not a serious workout but more about keeping...

That's correct about the settings option, and I had already configured MapMyRun's settings to connect to SHealth before I used MapMy Run on my hike today, but it has not registered the hike in S Health.

I just tried it out today on a hike. Yesterday I downloaded and installed the new MapMyRun app for the Gear S3 as just released by Under Armour. Today I went on a hike in the mountains for 3 hours or so and decided to try out MapMy Run. I set it for hiking mode, started it up, and for first...

I have the settings on my Gear S3 set as "Sound mode: Sound", and "Vibrate with sound" is switched OFF. However, whenever my morning alarm beeps to wake me up, it definitely still vibrates making an annoying buzzy sound on my bedside table! Does anyone know if I'm stuck with this vibrate for...

.. and Bluemail certaily shows notifications (and in fact full emails) on the S3 watch, but oddly it does NOT show notifications (or sound alert) on my Samsung Phone, unless I go into Global Settings and toggle OFF the setting which says “Android Wear – Show full notifications”. I've...

I emailed BlueMail support about this and got a very quick response as follows:

I too have installed BlueMail in past few days as Aquamail - which I normally use on my Samsung phone - and which is otherwise great, is really intermittent when it comes to sending notifications to my S3 when new emails arrive. With Aquamail, notifications on the S3 just sometimes come through...

I've just bought a Galaxy Tab Pro8.4 and am delighted with it, but as I also have a Samsung Smart TV I thought it would be easy to mirror my tablet's screen to the TV without any additional hardware. However, it appears not, as my smart TV is a series 6 model bought in 2011 (Samsung Model...

Sync directional options restored with latest version of Kies 3 Success! Yesterday a message popped up saying there was a new version of Kies 3 available for download. I downloaded and installed the new version (Kies 3 v 3.2.14013_45 ). This latest version has restored the directional options...

Thanks for your response. I actually submitted a ticket to Samsung Customer Support about this and they have replied as follows: "Regarding your issue, I can confirm that the option to change the sync direction has been removed from Kies 3.0. I am unsure of exactly why this feature was removed...
