Firmware Update Gear S3

[jsk0703]

Let them work out the bugs before the push the LTE versions. I can wait.

This! Given the mixed feedback on this forum, I'm in no rush.

Find me an update without the mixed feedback. It is always the same... Blah Blah Blah .0 killed my device. It ruined my battery. Every update, every device.

Same here. I may never update. The change list has only a couple items I think might be marginal improvements and the stability and battery life of mine now (LTE Verizon) is off the charts! 2 days easy.

Has anyone with a LTE version received the update? If so, any glitches?

A few posts back some LTE folks did say they got it.

Yeah as I suspected, Samsung has yet to release LTE updates to carriers as of today.

This is a list of yet to be released firmware updates.

Got the update this morning (att) although I've only had it for maybe 2 hours now, my battery life is somehow 1000x better! No factory reset or anything. To be fair though, I was one of the people who had had absolutely terrible battery life since day 1. I've had to charge my watch every single night because I've never had more than 50% remaining by the time I go to bed.

I noticed right after the update I had 61% (I looked cause I was sure updating on the fly would kill my watch before I got home tonight) but here I am 2 hours later at 60%!

This is awesome! Fingers crossed this is the new norm for my battery life.

How did you get updated to 3.0 when Samsung hasn't release the firmware to carriers yet? To be clear, you have an ATT LTE versions Gear S3, correct.

What are you talking about? This entire post is filled with people who have received the update...

And I'm on att not the LTE one. Just the standard watch.

 

[Deke218]

When you say you're on ATT and your ATT S3 was updated EVERYBODY assumed you meant the LTE version considering carriers only sell LTE versions.

So yeah, no one with an LTE version has yet to receive the update.

If you bought the watch at AT&T, I believe it's LTE. If you bought it elsewhere it's not. Where did you buy the watch?

Everyone? Really? Seems like just you. Myself and many other people said we got the update on att. Nowhere did we mention LTE. But for some reason, you chose to attack my post.

I specified what carrier Im on.

You think I attacked your post...

I agreed with you.

I assumed that he had the "AT&T LTE version of the S3 Gear" and when he mentioned he got the "update" I assumed he got the AT&T LTE firmware update...

I have the T-Mobile version, (yes LTE version, since they only sell the carrier LTE version) and did not get any update yet.

Yeah, pretty much everyone. When someone states they're on ATT or whatever carrier, then they're referring to the S3 they bought from the carrier, which is the LTE version. The Bluetooth models are independent of the carriers and play no part in which carrier you use for your cellular usage.

I see. So who sends out the update?

BT only model updates are sent by Samsung.

LTE models are sent by the carrier the person purchased their S3 from.

That is the current version before the new version which is 3.*****

I've got 2.3.2.4 (Newly purchased Monday)

Battery went to h**l after update. Resetting watch now to see what happens.

 

[Doug Moffat]

In reading the above catfight it appears I did not get the update as I'm Verizon LTE. However, I found when I factory reset my watch it clearly remedied a couple of problems I was having.
