    When I answer a call can I talk through the watch?

    I have the Gear S2, 3g version. Just like Detective (won't let me use his first name) Tracy, I can answer calls with the watch. I have answered calls on the watch downstairs when the phone was upstairs. I have answered calls in Walmart while my phone was in the truck. The watch actually has...

    Re: why can't i answer a phone call on galaxy 7e by pressing on the green phone icon Try sliding it across the screen rather than pressing it.

    S7 Edge slow to charge on Wireless charger

    When my wife got her S5, we got the standard wireless charger from Verizon. If I recall correctly, that charger does not trickle charge or otherwise maintain the battery, meaning that once the battery was charger, the charger stopped charging. So if the phone was left on, it would then begin...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge - Which wireless charger?

    I bought the Verizon Samsung bundle as well. My wife uses the wireless Samsung puck we bought when she got her S5. At the time, the reviews said it was good, but once the battery hit 100%, it would stop charging. If you left your phone on, then it would begin using the battery, but the...

    Galaxy S7 edge problems

    As far as connecting to the GS2, I had the same problem. Did a factory reset on the watch, and it then connected just fine. There really isn't much or any data stored in the watch to lose.

    Gear S2 From Verizon promo

    I can only tell you what I got, since apparently the Verizon rep bypassed the promo pages and sent me a GS2 direct from their warehouse. I pre-ordered my S7 edge over the phone with Verizon on 2/23. She shipped my choice of promotional items (the GS2) right away, and I received on 2/25...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    I had the same issue. What was funny was the screen said "Follow the instructions that came with your new phone". The instructions that came with the new phone said "Follow the on-screen prompts on your new phone". Ended up doing a chat on line with a Verizon rep. He had me turn off the...

    Gear S Watch Not 100% Compatible with Marshmallow

    For what it's worth, I had a hard time pairing the S7 edge to my GS 2. Ended up doing a factory reset on the watch, then it paired flawlessly.

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Yep, not sure how it happened. Pre-ordered the phone on the 23rd (about 2:30 PM). Girl on the phone told me if I wanted the VR, it wouldn't ship till April, but she could ship the watch immediately. Said it would be compatible with my S4, and I could have a chance to play with it before the...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    We refer to it as the Black and Decker. Also in PA , got a couple funny stories using that device. This probably isn't the right place. Back on topic, my phone (black) is somewhere between here and Memphis. Not worried about the promotion, Verizon sent me the watch when I pre-ordered the...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Either the girl I talked to at Verizon made a huge mistake, or I just got very, very lucky. Pre-ordered my S7 edge late afternoon on the 23rd. Pretty much did it on a whim while checking out the phone on line. During the process she mentioned the promo, gave me a choice between the watch and...

    Is the Gear S2 complimentary accessory to S7 Edge?

    Re: S7 Edge Accessories Verizon actually shipped my Gear2 watch when I preordered the S7 Edge on Tuesday. Have been using the watch since Thursday. Can't say anything about how it performs with the S7, but I have been using it with my S4, and can say I like it. As far as negatives, I can...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Re: S7 Edge - Verizon preorders are live. Not sure I have an answer to that, but I can tell you exactly what I did: On the 23rd, I was surfing again, looking to see about my upgrade. I noticed the S7 was due to be released on March 11th. Did some further looking, and saw Verizon was doing...
