Anyone with T-Mobile remember how much time passed between the last BT update and corresponding LTE update?
FWIW I contacted T-Mobile on Twitter, and the rep doesn't yet have any info on when we'll get the update.[/QUOTE @ [MENTION=2718013]arunma[/MENTION], I just had a trawl through the threads for the previous software update. US BT version first reported 24th Jan; UK BT version around 1st Feb; you reported you downloaded LTE version on T-Mobile on 1st March.![]()
Kko, I meant just a power off and back on again. That file which was getting stuck could be anything - an app, a watch face, or something else. So, not necessarily the update. If, just before you saw it, you didn't get the notification of a new update being available with the long list of changes, then I agree with you and it means the update isn't available yet for BT version in your country. It still isn't available for the BT model in the UK, either, as @evohicks has said.
On another note, have a look in your Galaxy Store to see if Gear Tracker is available yet. A new version has just been launched.
Yes agree, I don't mind either if it's worth waiting for. This release seems to be a bit random. @Greymire has the update and I think his is the BT model in the US (?). But LTE owners in the US don't have the update yet. But in the UK, LTE owners have it but the BT owners don't.Sonnnet I the watch on and off, I made a reset and also factory reboot. Still nothing here...I quess we are all anxiously waiting right?
As far the Gear Tracker app which you perfectly remember, still no luck...not available for Cyprus area yet.
Personally I dont care if I get the new update very late, as long as it brings with it an HR fix for the issues we are all facing
Yes agree, I don't mind either if it's worth waiting for. This release seems to be a bit random. @Greymire has the update and I think his is the BT model in the US (?). But LTE owners in the US don't have the update yet. But in the UK, LTE owners have it but the BT owners don't.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong. It's a bit confusing!
Yes. I have the Bluetooth model in the US. There seems to be no reasoning to this particular roll out.Yes agree, I don't mind either if it's worth waiting for.

No worries, @arunma. I was as trying to predict when I might get the update (UK BT user). But there's no guaranteeing Samsung (and carriers for LTE) will follow the same schedule as last time. Too many layers for Tizen, as we know... Still by far the best Smartwatch OS, in my opinion though.@sonnnet, thanks for looking through those old threads! I guess we can expect it on T-Mobile around July 1. I'm wondering if the LTE update will allow us to toggle cellular connectivity to on/off/auto via quick settings, like we can with Wi-Fi. I guess that's not something current users with the BT version can tell us. For some reason the current version of Tizen lets us turn mobile data on and off, but not the cellular connectivity itself. Not sure why they thought that would be useful. I'm not sure why anyone would frequently want a cell signal but no data. Oh well.
Anyone know if they fixed the bug with adding food calories? For those who don't know what I'm talking about, when I use calorie quick add in Samsung Health to log food calories via my watch, it gets timestamped as 5 or 6 hours later than the time I actually added it. I presume it's a time zone issue, since I'm in Central, which is 5 or 6 hours behind GMT, based on whether it's daylight saving time or not. Either way, it makes calorie quick add useless because I can't log food from my watch after 6-7 pm. Can anyone (preferably anyone far West of Greenwich, England) confirm if this was fixed?
It's sounding like a very good update. Come on SAMSUNG UK!!!
Screen one and two from the shade.@sonnnet, thanks for looking through those old threads! I guess we can expect it on T-Mobile around July 1.

You've raised good points there. Surely an LTE toggle would be massively useful and easy to implement. I didn't realise the time lag with quick add calories - I've never used it as I use My Fitness Pal on my phone so there is a record of exactly what food I've eaten.
Actually, there's a thought. Do you have the My Fitness Pal app on your watch and synced to S Health? If so, what happens if you quick add calories on the My Fitness Pal watch app? Still a time lag or does it record as it should?
For those who can't wait: your watch has a region code (CSC). Roll out per region uses that code to determine which watch gets the update, and which doesn't.
I've successfully changed the CSC code of my watch to XAC (Canada) which triggered the update for my GW46mm BT. After installation I changed the code back to PHN (The Netherlands).
Wanna try? I found instructions here:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226/amp/
A few remarks:
*changing the CSC code resets your watch, so make a backup first.
*after enabling Debugging on your watch, restart it before you try to connect your watch to your PC.
*as mentioned above by someone, the update has rolled out in different countries for different models of the watch. Make sure that you know the CSC code for which the firmware for your watch model has been rolled out.
Do you know if this works with LTE version?
