Damn. Thanks for letting me know. I find it disappointing that Samsung has no real user feedback. They have a forum but it's almost never checked or attended to. They have a feature request form but it's hard to find and any feedback is always a general template response. Oh well. I...

Sorry for the confusion. For most users (left wrist wearing users) the buttons face their opposite hand and are easy to access. That's what I'm looking for with Samsung watches. A setting in the OS that allows for the 180 flip. So the buttons, in this case can face to the left while wearing on...

Does the new Galaxy Watch, more importantly the new version of Tizen, allow left handed users (who wear their watch on their right wrist) to flip the watch 180 degrees so the buttons face inward (face towards your left hand)? Is there a setting that addresses this? The Apple Watch has this...

So it's been a year... A new version is coming out... Where does the OP stand now? Would love a follow up since I feel likr most phones are snappy at the start then get bogged down over time.

Just did this. Thanks for the clear explanation. I hate this aspect of the watch/AA so I'm excited to see if this fixes it. Will test tonight! Now I just have to roll back my watch to regain the swipe-down-to-go-back feature that they removed in Tizen 3.0 (I'm a long time user so that feature is...

I've regretted upgrading since day one. I've used Samsung smartwatches for 4 years straight, and this was the most troubling update I've ever experienced. Not so much buggy as they removed the swipe-down-to-go-back feature that was a staple of these watches for years. New users might not mind or...

Nice...How exactly did you set it up with Automate? What steps? And did you have that disconnect issue with AA and your Gear S3 before (like when you turn off your car and open your door while still connected via USB to your car)? - Thanks

Different reason...but same request. It seems so simple really. Apple does it already and Samsung is halfway there already when the watch gets docked. Here's to hoping they listen to their users. The AC forum thread...

I did post this up in that community forum and got a hopeful response from the moderator: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearable-Tech/PE-FR-Tizen-3-0-and-Samsung-SHOULD-learn-THIS-from-Apple-Watch/m-p/215041#M17523 Now I'll have to amend my response a bit by saying don't worry about the...

Ah, I see now. You're right. Hardly noticed those, but you're right they would be upside down. Still... without a doubt... I'll take the OPTION to make that flip every time over what's currently in place. It's choosing functionality over aesthetics and 90% of users won't have to ever make that...

I'm not sure I understand. The whole screen rotates 180 degrees on the Apple Watch. Numbers, letters, apps, everything. Just as it goes 90 degrees when you dock it, going another 90 degrees would make it a complete flip and would solve so much for right handed users. Especially now that there is...

Where is the link to make suggestions directly to Samsung? I called them once a long time ago and immediately realized the support staff I was talking to had never used a Gear S3 so my question was useless. As for being pushed away...10% is based on the fact that a google search told me 10%...

TOTALLY Agree. Very annoying Android Auto issue for sure. Hope "they" fix this long standing bug...whoever "they" are.

Sometimes it's the little things that make a big difference. There's a setting on Apple Watches asks if you wear your watch on your LEFT WRIST or RIGHT WRIST. Now most wear it on their left, BUT, most left handed people wear it on their right wrist. Now already I've lost probably 90% of you who...

If I didn't wear watches on my right wrist it might not be as annoying but I do, and it is. I probably won't roll back, but I'm holding out hope that in the settings somewhere there's the ability to re-enable this. Or is there some new better way to go back a screen now?
