So a few months ago I posted a thread saying that themer beta does not work on my new galaxy s5. Till this day it still does not work and got no answer on how to fix it. When I select a them it says loading, and all of a sudden the phone turns black. The buttons highlight for about 3 secs and stop. I then completely turn off the phone. After that it starts up without the samsung boot icon and takes me directly to the Verizion boot icon, where it freezes and I have to remove the battery and put it back in. Any help!?!?
It also seems other people are having this problems on other phones like the HTC One M8. They say it's from the new update.
Hi! To clarify, are you talking themer beta from the play store??
If so, that's probably an issue you need to email the developer about.
Unfortunately its not really related to your device specifically it sounds like, and only the developer of the app can help.
Why did the recent apps turn to crap with marshmallow? The rotary used to scroll so silky smooth now it sucks, it skips 2 or more at a time and stops so abruptly it's like it's being operated by a hand crank rather than the old rotary wheel feel. It's driving me crazy! Anyone else??
I much prefer this new one. You can actually see what's on each screen now.
It looks ok. I'm not a big user of recent apps used. As long as it there, its ok. It doesn't seem to be buggy for me and its working just fine.
I totally agree

I totally agree. I can't come to terms with the new recent apps, either. It's annoying me so much, that I'm actually considering switching to another rom because of it. However, I don't want to lose the good stock camera app. Does anyone know another way to get back the old app switcher?
I just checked xposed for a module fixing this, but coudn't find anything.
By the way, I'm using a Galaxy S7 after switching from a Note 5. It's exactly the same. My old S5, which recently received its 6.0.1 update, still has the old recent apps (and also the blue theme inside the quick settings).

My note 5 isn't rooted (verizon) but a factory wipe made the recent apps run a lot smoother after the MM update
My recent apps on my Note 5 (AT&T + stock marshmallow) is always blank... have to use the app manager and force stop to restart apps
My son's Galaxy S4 will not turn on wifi. When you swipe down from the top to see the wifi icon, as soon as you touch it, it goes gray............I performed a hard-reset over the weekend to get it working again..........but it started doing the same thing yesterday. Any suggestions?
Can someone delete this thread, thought I was in the Galaxy S4 thread.
This is my first post so I apologies in advance if I post this in "the wrong place". Anyhow the issue I would like to bring up is once you have paired your gear 2 to gear manager, there is something quite odd occurring.
Trying to change wallpaper it just returns you back to its main screen along with trying to change mostly anything. I use a Samsung note 3 on 5.1.1 if any has any fix to this I would like to know.
App was updated already but I will see if anything changes this bug once I have restored the gear back to tizen since it became useless.
New update just popped up that brings the gear s3 software to the one on the Galaxy Watch Active with its features and interface. It's also suppose to bring battery improvements too! I'm updating now I'm my usa version of the gear s3 classic

Now if they will update the Wear app so it's compatible with Android Q...
Well, I don't like the screen staying on while charging with the little charging symbol scrolling around the display after this update! The display only goes off once the watch has a full charge. I can't find any setting to disable this stupid display being always on while charging as I do not use the always on display setting at all anyway. I really hate it when they change the simplest things which make no sense at all. I probably wouldn't mind it that much if it was displaying a number for amount of battery charge instead of a stupid charge symbol. Oh well, they added one annoying thing with this update!
Update non-US watches
Being curious about this update I changes my CSC from PHN to XAR. The update was offered to me (with release notes in Dutch) and successfully installed. Afterwards I changed my CSC back to PHN. All working as expected, but to early to tell something usefull regarding this firmware as it is running for just a few minutes.
If you can't wait for this update for your region, you could try the method mentioned above and update to Tizen 4.0.0.4 and One UI 1.0.
Be careful as usual and remember your watch will be reset.
CSC changed using this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/guide-how-to-change-gear-s3-r760-csc-t3784226
just out of curiosity, did this update fix the sensor not working issue introduced after tizen 3.0.0.2 update?
Try to do it, but nothing works :/

I am not an expert enough to guide you through the whole process, but these were steps I took:
- changed CSC to XAR as described in the post mentioned
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- changed CSC back to PHN
- phone resets
- connected watch to phone
- restored backup
- configured some stuff like widget order on my watch and installed some additional watchfaces/apps form the Galaxy Store which were not restored from backup.
- back in business and all working as expected.
Hope it helps.

Just updated my AT&T S3 Frontier to One UI version 1.0, Tizen 4.0.0.4 (R765AUCU2DSD7) - Everything appears to be working fine except for the Alarm App 1.1.56 and Widget. Getting error: "Unable to load data. Tap to retry" when I tap on the Widget and nothing when I click on the App icon. If I set an Alarm on my S9+ the S3 displays/sounds/vibrates the alarm just fine. I just can't set an alarm from the S3. I have restarted the watch and my S9+ is running the latest version of Android Galaxy Wearable. Anyone else experiencing this issue with their Frontier? - I noticed that updates for the Stop Watch and Timer apps were added in the Galaxy store, but not the Alarm app. Maybe there's an Alarm app update in the pipeline.

I just posted in another forum but I am having issues with using the 4 person Contact Widget. I can only choose from about 10-12 contacts to put on the widget...its like it only synced a handful of contacts?

Yeah, this sucks! I just want it off (I like a dark room when I sleep).

After this update my Alarm app is showing version 1.2.64 and appears to be working. However, the Galaxy App Store showing the other version 1.1 56 though. Strange...
Installing now
Notifications got slightly changed if I see that correctly. With previous version, multiple whatsapp notifications from different chats only showed the latest one (at least for me).
But now I was able to select between single notification. Maybe someone can check that for themselves.
News Briefing widget does not work for me. Just says could not load, tap to retry but never reloads. Just FYI if anyone cares.
Since updating my battery drains like crazy if always on display is running. Used to get about a day with it on. Anyone else have this problem?

Will test it tomorrow. I used to have display always on almost everyday
Battery life seems much better for me. I installed the update late afternoon, explored the new UI a bit, installed all my apps and now I still have 38% battery in the morning. However, I did reset the device two times - before and after changing the CSC back and I leave the watch in goodnight mode overnight. I'm sure resetting helps avoid certain battery issues.
You are correct...

So yesterday my phone was at 15% by noon after removing it from the charger at 0530. I thought maybe I thought it was on the charger overnight but wasn't. So now today I charged my watch on my drive into work and removed it from the charger at 0730 this morning... But 1330 it was dead! So yesterday was no a fluke it was massive battery drain from the latest update. I do use always on because it's easier for my job but I have never seen drain this past from this watch. I did a master reset to see if that resolves the battery issue. So far it appears to be working because it is draining at a normal rate again.
So far, so good
With AOD, brightness at 7 and heart rate monitoring off it seems to be promising
yeah i am luckily having no issues with the update. all my apps seem fine. it is way more responsive with less lag. battery seems to be about the same although i have only had it since yesterday but comparable so far. i am really liking the new oneui. feels like a new watch.
