If I go for a 40 minute run with stopwatch running, it uses up 60% of my S2's battery (this is after turning off all the auto wake-up options, but the stopwatch app still keeps the screen on constantly while it's running). Is this normal?

Lots of bugs and new owners seem like they're not bothering to address the issues or continue development.

I've given up on podcast app I've been using ("BeyondPod") and was all set to try either Pocket Casts or DoggCatcher, but noticed that each of those has recent reviews reporting lots of problems working with S10. Has anyone found a podcast app that's stable on S10 and new UI?

For some reason that app is no longer showing up for me when I search Gear apps. I wonder if, for some reason, they made it "Europe-only" (?)

Sound comes through HDMI. I have my speakers connected to my monitor's external sound output, then you just choose "Display Device" for "Audio Output" in the lower right of the Dex desktop.

Yes, but does it have a companion app for the S2 watch?

I deleted this app because it sort of takes over your phone whenever "Here" on your phone is navigating. But now I'd like it back and can't seem to find it. Does anyone know how to install it or if it's still available?

...I either am not able to input anything or it blatantly mis-interprets the input. (I'm comparing to actions on my Note 8, where it works fine with the same app.) Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm trying to cash in Samsung rewards points for a VR headset and its reminding me why I used to hate Samsung. I keep getting a "Network Error" message (and I think "try again later"). Does anyone know if this is fixable or should I just redeem for cash and avoid the headache?

I love my S2 and also am an avid swimmer. Has anyone tried the Sport in the pool yet? I'm particularly interested in accuracy of counting laps while doing crawl and how practicable it is to view the stats while swimming (e.g., while doing a turn). Thanks, J

If it makes people happy to know where they stand on the leader board of Bixby users, I'm not one to judge, but I do find it annoying to have the confirmation pop-ups and "experience point" badges interfering with my flow of work.....

Well, yeah. But buying a ridiculously expensive (and great) phone confers on me the right to feel entitled, so there.

With 20,000 rewards points, I went to check out what I could get from Samsung and was surprised to see in pretty much every case I'd be better off cashing in the reward points for cash and just buying the Samsung products offered from Amazon. Is this always going to be the case or does Samsung...

Just wondering if anyone's had a chance to swim with their device yet and give any feedback on accuracy, usefulness, etc? Thx, J

The ability to create customized voice "macro's" with Bixby is a huge advantage. Having a dedicated button also is a game-changer. It's like having a physical button that can be turned into the "record" button for a voice memo, or a flashlight button, depending on what personalized shortcut...
