    Techniques for maintaining watch/phone communication

    Any recommendations for when none of your calendar appointments will populate on your Gear? I have spent 8 hours accumulatively with Samsung Support online on the phone and in person and I am just about fed up and ready to return this thing even though I enjoy the other aspects of it.

    Samsung Gear S2

    I'll add on my S2 prob here too...95% of my calendar events don't sync to the Gear. Using Note 5 and Gear S2 3G (Verizon for both) I have updated both phone and watch, did a light reset and hard reset on watch, installed and uninstalled Gear manager, paired and unpaired device two or three...

    For those with the Note and a Gear S2 3G

    Hey all, I know this is a slightly different thread, but didn't find a thread with people doing some troubleshooting on the basic Gear setups, etc. I have a VZW Note 5 and a Gear S2 3G for VZW as well. Overall great experience with both, but 95% of my calendar events don't sync to the Gear. I...

    I have a Galaxy Note 5 — ask me about it!

    I moved from the iPhone 4S which makes the Note 5 positively gargantuan but it was perfect for me. I was so tired of having a small phone in big hands.

    I have a Galaxy Note 5 — ask me about it!

    Yeah it seems not. Because all of my notifications show content on lock screen or swipe down. That wasn't really the issue. But I guess that's a bit of Lollipop that is gone forever! Bummer. I guess I'm in the minority of users that liked it.

    is marshmellow worth it

    I like the update overall, though I haven't noticed improvements on battery life, etc. It did add very nice features but truth be told it took away some of my favorite UI aspects as it relates to how notifications are shown. I'm considering doing some research to go back to 5.1.1

    Aw, that's a bummer. It was actually one of my favorite features coming over from iPhone.

    I have a Galaxy Note 5 — ask me about it!

    Does it go app by app settings or is it a general setting? Because I am positive I have it enabled on messaging apps. It pops up the message over my content which I actually don't like. Before my previews were relegated to the actual status bar rather than over the app I was working on.

    Hi guys, I am also a new Android user (previous phones were iPhone) and new to commenting/searching/EVERYTHING online forums for answers, so bear with me.

    Questions about Samsun Galaxy Note 5 (New user)

    Hi guys, I am also a new Android user (previous phones were iPhone). I may be CRAZY, but I seem to recall that my Note 5 (the first few months I had it) would show the content of a notification in the status bar in addition to the icon up top. For example, when I receive a text message, the...
