    Gear S3 hidden port

    Unless this schematic is wrong. That's either the barometer or linear motor.

    Condition the battery?

    Battery conditioning is an unneeded myth.

    Samsung Pay Locks You Out???! (New Gear S3 User Experience)

    Inactivity will trigger it. Left it on for two hours without triggering the face, and it kicked in the password.

    Samsung Pay On Phone & Gear S3 - Successes & Failures

    Two out of 20 attempts were successful at Walmart. It used to work all the time till those stooges rolled out Walmart pay.

    GEAR S3 messaging Woes

    I think it's the dismiss dead notification setting in the GNE app.

    GEAR S3 messaging Woes

    I use signal and gear notification extender. I don't get old messages again. I think that's in the settings.

    Standalone Mode

    When it's disconnected the watch is using it's number, not the phone's.

    Standalone Mode

    Take the watch to an AT&T store, and have them check the watch and phone. If they give you crap ask or a manager, or demand they replace the watch.

    Standalone Mode

    When I run, walk, hike, etc I only carry my watch. No need for the phone. That's one of the reason's I buy these things. Now the non LTE ones have to be paired. So maybe they're confused, or they're ignorant of the way these devices work.

    Standalone Mode

    The watch has it's own number so it can make and receive calls on it's own just like it has an LTE connection of it's own. It shows up as the watch's number on caller ID. So, you can give people both numbers if you want.

    Standalone Mode

    I just went into stand alone mode, and got calls on both the phone and watch. Then remote connected, and that works as well. Bluetooth connected I get phone if I don't answer it switches to the watch. I can also receive calls at the same time on both devices.

    Something is off about that. She's just plain wrong.

    Standalone Mode

    Which Gear S3 do you own? Is it the LTE or bluetooth version?

    Samsung pay on watch

    It's funny watching everyone stop, and stare when I'm using my watch to pay at work. Inevitably there's one moron that tries to tell me it doesn't work. It shuts them up quick when it works like a charm.

    Sprint - to hate or not to hate. That is the question

    The only thing showing on Sprint.com is a replacement Gear S3 band. Nothing else. I've been harassing them for weeks asking questions about this great watch, and have been flat out told NO they are not carrying the LTE.
