I'm experiencing three annoying issues with my Gear 2 Neo and Note 4 (lollipop) and I'm wondering if anyone else with this pairing is experiencing similar issues.

These issues have persisted through a phone/gear restore, phone flash as well as Samsung support "attempting" to solve the issues.

Tasks created by S-Voice only go off on the phone itself, are silent without vibration and rather then going off once they repeat every few hours until i go into the Samsung calendar and delete them instead of going off once.

I cannot enable the "Auto-Lock" Feature. when I go through the process of enabling it the check box remains unchecked.

The sleep app randomly acts up. It will either suddenly stop blocking notifications, so I get awaken spam email at 2am, I have to exit the sleep ap and restart it for it to begin blocking again, at this point even though it may be at 3 hours and 20 minutes according to it's timer it will give me an error about the data being unable to save as it's under 20 minutes worth. It will also sometimes give the 20 minutes error even if the timer is 7+ hours and the app appears to be working right. The final issue is it will sporadically quite sometimes, leaving me once again getting awoken to notifications generated by spam email.

On a side note, I really, REALLY hope they bring some sort of Google Now support to these devices. I find S-Voice abysmal in comparison (even when it "catches" what I said.)
 
I have the same hardware pairing. Cannot reproduce the issues you are having. S voice does not do as well as Google now but it will get better.

no issues with sleep here. carrier makes no difference as I've used it on verizon in the states and vodafone overseas. phone is verizon s4 mini, gear 2 bought from at&t online. I can't speak to the other issues though, as I don't use s-voice for tasks, and since I use high security auto-lock is not an option for me.
