    T-Mobile Digits

    Signed up for digits beta this morning. Got approved almost instantly and got a confirmation email and text a few hours later. I chose one number on multiple devices. Just using it with the gear s3 frontier LTE and messages is fixed now. Pictures and message history is finally in message app...

    GEAR S3 messaging Woes

    I have so many problems with MMS everyday. Any extra messages wouldn't show if I didn't check them. No incoming messages showed in watch app history. I've heard of stand alone mode and updating date and time in settings fixes it. No pictures were showing too. But I have the T-Mobile variant and...

    Let's see your watch straps.

    These just arrived last night and I put them on today. I just did a search for 22mm Watch Bands on amazon. I actually did a little research and realized that even fit bit and other smart watch bands can be used on the Gear S3/Frontier as long as it's 22mm and has the quick release pins. I even...

    Watch Face/Watch Maker Companion Apps

    Does anyone know how many watch face companion apps there are for the Gear S3/Frontier I know of: Mr. Time (You can make watches with this too) Watch Master (Free watches and there is a subscription based or one time payment for premium ones) Facer (Just recently added and it's awesome) And...

    Anyone using the I'm Alive app to keep watch faces active?

    Thank you so much. I completely agree that sometimes there are times where you want to display a really cool watch face animation or not. I don't know why it isn't built into settings with a warning about battery consumption. I installed the app I really like it. Now I can have my watch face on...

    Gear without Samsung phone?

    I'm using a Pixel XL with my gear s3 frontier LTE edition. I've ran it on my s7 edge too. The most notable different is the galaxy app store and watch faces. Samsung phones have galaxy appstore preloaded and connecting a watch to it the app store detects it and let's you search search watch...

    Gear S3 Frontier Steering Wheel Music Playback

    That's a really good idea and really simple too. I'm going to get a different strap anyways. The top bezel of the watch is sensitive there is already a very small scratch on it I figured it would be sensitive underneath too. I'll try that or I'll try a screen protector on the bottom. Even just a...

    LTE edition battery sucks?

    Really weird. When I first got this watch I charged it fully before turning it on. At first I was getting bad battery life like some people on here said. I have the T-Mobile version LTE. At first s health was draining most of the battery and I turned the reminders that off it helped a lot. I...

    Gear S3 Frontier Steering Wheel Music Playback

    So I just got this S3 Frontier T-Mobile Edition a few days ago. I was using the gear fit 2 from note fiasco for a while and I loved the watch faces and some of the interactive stuff such as weather and quick replying to messages. I was just wanting a little more from a watch. I wear this...

    Gear App Store

    Unfortunately yes. It doesn't matter if you are using a samsung phone or android phone. I have my Gear S3 connected to my pixel xl. I've connected it to the S7 edge before. I thought maybe I could look at watchfaces organized and categorized better on galaxy phones. And because it's connected to...

    Re: tmobile android 7.0 beta Nothing on my side either. The beta app was working a few days ago but now just servor error. Checking update shows nothing either.

    Samsung Beta: Nougat Beta available for S7/Edge...kind of

    I can't wait registered and just waiting for OTA update. It does say in the terms you can keep the beta software once nougat hits or upgrade directly to 7.0 release. Hopefully it will be a smoother transition like Nexus beta program. On T-Mobile also download the app through Galaxy app store...

    accidentally activating from the curve edge, or not ?

    Yep for some reason it's not a problem with a case. Using a case mate and no problem. Was in gear VR and forgot to put case back on and couldn't type in passwords or logins because my hand was holding the edge side. Really annoying. I got a cheap insignia case for my loaner s7 edge back during...

    Black is the new black

    Thank you for clarifying. I did go to T-Mobile needing a case and tried on OtterBox symmetry case. I figured I might as well try it out. I had a zagg installed the day before and I used a hair dryer on the edges which helped. But as soon as I put the OtterBox on it started peeling off the...

    Changing Icons with Themes

    Thank you so much. I was bummed when I found some cool themes on samsung themes and couldn't use them with google now. A little tedious but it really works and now I can make the icons I want to work with google launcher and google now.
