Firmware Update Gear S3

[lyingfromyou]

Got a Firmware update on my S3 this morning... Is this Tizen 3.0?

(Bluetooth Non-Carrier Model)

It is, I just installed it and everything looks updated and nicer. Definitely a few things in there that make the watch experience better.

Nice! Just a heads up, you will have to re-tune your Samsung Health notifications on the watch. Once you update the firmware and update the Samsung apps, it seems to default all the notifications to on again...

Installing now!

Make sure you sync your steps and other health measurements with your phone before you update. Annoyingly I've lost all steps and number of floors climbed today since the update.

Rusty.... I was about to post the same thing. Luckily I'm on vacation and only had 100 steps I lost.

I know this is very early after the update but does anybody notice you can no longer just swipe down on the screen from anywhere to get back to the main home screen?
before this update you could use more gestures on the screen without over having a touch the buttons If you didn't want to. for example, if I'm messages you could swipe down and get to home (watch face)
it just brings down the quick toggles now. am I missing something?

Nice! Downloading now!

AT&T LTE one isn't showing it yet...

Little cool thing, hold down on the watchface to see your other watchfaces. Turn the bezel all the way left and it will show 4 of the faces at a time to scroll through with the bezel.

Finally have the ability to see an entire text message thread even if you don't have default samsung messaging. Using Textra and I am able to see the whole thing.

My phone showed the update this morning, but I don't wear my watch at work. When I got home I checked for the update again and it says there are none. T-Mobile frontier LTE.

Same here. Also TMob.

I think we're having to wait for carrier releases. Hopefully it's not long.

TMob told me they are still on 2.3.2. No worries. Mine works fine as is. I can wait awhile and see what goes wrong first.

My favorite feature so far... The quick settings can be edited and one of them is AOD! I use AOD at work but screen off after work. Now it's one step away rather than drilling into settings.

Exactly...lost several thousand steps too...doh

update installed, still no way to easily download podcasts for standalone listening with Spotify, pocketcasts or Google play music. my workouts will still require carrying a phone.
