The app is pretty much useless for me now: 1. Can text only to contacts, no free number entering. 2. I have ~2000 contacts and the app doesn't provide any means of searching/setting favourites. 3. The app doesn't support non-English input (and doesn't even show non-ASCII characters in previous...

Stuff that I tried and found working: "Show weather", "Show forecast for tomorrow", "Show weather in New York", "Show schedule for tomorrow", "Schedule and appointment/meeting" + all details (with whom, date/time, title/subject), it actually asks you to confirm before saving and you can make...

#8 is actually already available via S Voice. Just say "Schedule an appointment with John Smith on 10th of June between 2 PM and 4 PM titled "Meeting with John"". It will actually display and read back all the text as it recognised it (it will if you're lucky and don't have any funny accent) and...

Apps installed from Gear Manager can be of 3 different kinds: Apps that are installed only on the Gear. Those can be uninstalled from Samsung Apps invoked from Gear Manager straight away. Apps that are installed only on the phone. An example of such app is Watch Styler. Although it can add...

Re using Gear 2/Fit built in HRM, the key question is whether 3rd party apps have access to it. I seriously doubt that, otherwise I guess we would have already seen some apps doing this. If indeed this access is blocked by Tizen OS, you can abandon any hope for MMR or any other 3rd party app...

Update on high battery drainage issue with MMR Gear 2 app. I logged a ticket with MMR, pointing out the issue and the fact Gear 2 gets thrashed with S Health error messages when you start workout with MMR app on the Gear. For response I got complete set of instructions on how to set up MMR on...

I was referring to the app losing connection to the chest strapped BT LE sensor, not the watch. I'm not expecting anything from the Gear 2 crappy HRM, but I am expecting to be able to use my chest strapped one as it was working quite reliably with Runtastic Pro. However, there is still no...

@roy862014: how many contacts do you have? It has already been proven that Gear Manager (the app connecting between the Gear and the phone) severely drains battery for people with 1000s of contacts on non-Samsung devices, but this issue could be affecting Samsung users too.

The explicit setting is gone, but, when I hit "connect", it immediately sees my BT LE HRM without any problem and then can connect to it. My problem is it loses connection very quickly into the workout (within like 1 minute). I was wondering if this was a limitation of the free MMR version, as...

I've been using Sleep Genius only as local alarm replacement, as I don't have a problem falling asleep. It's actually quite nice, usually wakes me up (gently!) 2-3 minutes before the designated time (it starts playing its thing 5 minutes before the time). The UI is pretty basic and quite buggy...

I actually was able to use Gear 2 Neo and my BT LE chest-strapped HRM with MMR. However, for some reason, the HRM connection gets lost very quickly (within a minute) after I start workout. Could be quality of contacts (I didn't manage to buy ECG gel to smear the contacts with, as suggested by...

When I started experiencing sharp battery drops (reaching 30% per hour at times) I also suspected I had faulty battery at first. However, do a simple test: turn Bluetooth off on your watch. If you battery life improves dramatically, then your hardware is OK. Try the APK I posted on XDA. If this...

How many contacts do you guys have? You might be facing the same problem (and could potentially use the same solution) as described here.

It is becoming more and more annoying that different apps appear at significant time gaps in different country-specific Samsung stores. For example, according to a report from one user on Runtastic Facebook page, their Gear 2 app has become available in Austria more than a week ago, yet here in...
