    Good Faces with Complications

    So, apologies in advance for just not getting this, for S2, the ambient mode, or standby mode, whatever, is not cusomizible? I have a Moto and pretty much everything is open, I have some really nice watch faces I like for the S2, but it seems there isn't much in the options department other...

    Custom Vibration, Messagin Apps, etc

    Well, I guess it's a problem not too many have, but the voices in my head like me, so I'll keep talking to them. I have an original Gear Fit, and I noticed it vibrates whenever I get ANY alerts, so I guess it's something in the S2 (the same app gives no vibration or alert on the S2).

    Trick to make S Voice work better

    Jeez, right. I never used the wake up commend, thanks!

    Custom Vibration, Messagin Apps, etc

    well, if anyone has any ideas, I tried an app called Vibration Notifier, which allows you to set vibration reminders for apps, but it doesn't seem to either be picked up by or resonate with the Gear S2. So, it seems if the app doesn't have a vibration option natively (see: At Bat) there doesn't...

    Trick to make S Voice work better

    okay, I'll confess to not knowing what "hi gear" is. Tell me, and I will give it a shot. The crappy voice to text S-Voice has compared to Android is maddening.

    Verizon Galaxy Update

    any way to force it? other than through the settings menu. I am traveling tomorrow and would like to have WiFi calling. Kies doesn't have any updates yet. Ugh

    Is it just a random crapshoot when you get it? In CA, nothing for me...

    Mechano watch face for the Gear S2/S/2/Neo

    If I may make a request I would pay for, can you (or can anyone) make the ambient mode brightness adjustable? Or can you dial it down? And maybe include an option to add tick marks on the ambient face? You know, where the hours would be? Like I said, respect for your work, and I for one am...

    Mechano watch face for the Gear S2/S/2/Neo

    Looks great, worth the buy. Did I miss it, can you customize the fields? Weather, steps, etc? I can't seem to do anything but the colors. Looks great!

    Custom Vibration, Messagin Apps, etc

    Couple of other questions, guys, if you'll indulge me. So, is there a way to set custom vibrations for specific apps? For example, I use At Bat, and if it vibrates at all when it sends a notification, I can't feel it. Not nearly as pronounced as a phone call or text message. Same when there...

    S Voice and Knox (seperate questions)

    Thanks, I admit the dictation with Android Wear is insanely fast, especially compared to S Voice. Knox is something my company uses for corporate email, and it will tell me I have a Knox-email, but nothing else. Android Wear will pass the notification-bar information through, so I can at least...

    S Voice and Knox (seperate questions)

    Guys, Trying out an S2, coming from a Moto on Android Wear. I think I have the battery issue handled (wasn't lasting an entire day, which would have been a deal killer). I think I know the answer on Knox but I'll ask. All I get is the "see phone" screen since Knox is so secure (although...

    Gear S2 - Battery Drains in 5 hours

    Glad I wasn't alone, I am trying out the S2, I also have a Moto360 (2015), and I was really disappointed I can't get through one day with the S2. After the latest update, the Moto lasts 2-3 days pretty easily. So I guess there's nothing I can do...

    Why does Android Auto not work after the Marshmallow update?

    For me, I CAN get it work, I just have to manually go to USB connections EVERY TIME and change it. And that's a 6.0 thang. Come on, Google, loving you ain't easy.
