My wife and I have Gear 2's. I have the Gear 2. She has the Gear 2 Neo. Neither of us have had any freezing.
We have had them a week and have not rebooted them once. Just curious though, how long did you run it before it froze? I know my cellphones typically get flaky after a period of time if I don't reboot them periodically..
Never never again, 2nd watch and still freezes and this one now only lasts 10.5 hours on full charge in standby... I'm going to go get my money back, what a joke.

no freezing, good battery life and everything else works also fine
maybe you're just unlucky :S
I have had my gear 2 neo for 2 weeks I got a phone call today didn't answer it and like 20 min later when I went to check my watch for messages or the time my screen wouldn't work now I can't do anything my OS Is froze when I try and hold down the power button nothing happens soo I can't even turn the device off any suggestions? Gonna take back to ATT tomorrow and see of they can give me a new one or something
Update I pushed and held the power home button and held it for about 6 seconds and it rebooted itself and seems to be working fine for now
Has anyone solved this problem with gear 2 r380?

So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.
Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.

same thing happens to me, not sure why. I went through and froze all bloat with titanium backup, and it still happens
It's not something I can make happen, just happens randomly. I have 5 days to return this so I would like to figure it out. If a software update would fix it I would just deal with it for now but I'm not sure what the problem is.

I just talked to Samsung on their live chat and they recommended I return the phone and exchange for new. I am still in the 14 day return window so I will ask for brand new even if I have to pay their $35 fee.

The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.

No.. tons of us have data issues. My phone hot booted in my hands the other night and it was the first time I experienced it, but I've seen reference to it before.
Your issues are not isolated.
I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.
Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.
Sorry for your troubles though.

I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.

Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.

Need some help here...been running AOKP unofficial just fine for a while then all of a sudden my phone starts acting crazy and the flash will go off and then start vibrating and try to reboot, then it kinda gets stuck in a mini boot loop. I have to hold down the power button to get it to fully reboot properly. So i thought it might be a bad app. I uninstalled some apps and it kept doing it. So I wiped and installed the latest AOKP unofficial rom. it did it a couple of times even with no apps on the phone. One thing ive also notice is when I push the power button to sleep/lock, It comes right back on to the lockscreen...Thoughts?
Power button, it's in the beginning stages of being totally stuck

My Old Skyrocket I'm letting my son use, is rebooting also. I notice if i barely touch the power button, it wants to go black, or even prompts to reboot. Extremely sensitive. I'll give this a go within the next few days and hopefully this will get him back in business.

Hey guys I have been having a pretty serious issue the last couple of days. Was running a CM 10 teamchopsticks nightly from a few weeks ago, which worked perfectly up until three days ago. Then it started crashing randomly, the screen would go black and it would vibrate every few seconds, a battery pull would fix it. I updated the phone to the latest nightly, and now I can't run the phone for 5 minutes without the same type of crash. When I battery pulled and tried to turn on the phone, it would immediately crash about 4/5 of the time. This bug is rendering my phone unusable. Not sure whether this is a Rom issue or something else, thanks in advance.
Not sure what kernel I am running.
Hearing it may be a hardware issue, anyone agree?
Could be, try to odin stock jb or ics. If you still have the problem then it's probably hardware. Unfortunately the rocket is getting old. I'm having some old age problems with mine too. Mostly stuck power button.

I don't Think you have it. Take your battery out and then put it back in. If it boots at that point then that's a sign that you probably do. Or if you try to try to power off you phone but it reboots then that's another sign

Could be a stick power button then, that's almost a sure sign. Mine is intermittent. Some times it's ok, others not not.

Hi, I recently bought the Samsung gear 2 and everywhere I see it says 2-3 days battery life but mine only gets around 8 or 9 hours if I completely leave it alone for the day. Am I missing something here? is there some setting or something? Im starting to think it has a defective battery. Its already at 90% after only being unplugged for 1 hour. Also, no apps will install from the market?!? Any help would be cool, thanks everyone.
Sounds faulty to me. Mine lasts 3-4 days with reasonable use.

I see other people talking about apps not installing on the device either so that may be a bug from Samsung, but the battery life is HORRIBLE. If no one has a potential solution I might have to return it to amazon...

I just received mine Monday afternoon. Charged it to full overnight and ran it through its paces yesterday. Turned on the sleep monitor before getting into bed. When I woke up this morning, it was at 72% remaining. I could probably go 3 days without charge without incident.

I had the same troubles when I tried to upgrade gear manager to the latest one ( failing as I have an Xperia z1 phone), while restoring the previous working one, a few services were still the latest ( I did not uninstalled them before reinstall the older). Watch battery life was crap.
I then uninstalled all gear apk on the phone and cleanly reinstalled gear manager 03... ( the one working for us with no samsung phone), my watch got reset and voilà ! Battery life of 2-3 days is back... I suspect one service was constantly pulling info from the watch but I don't know which one

Could you link me to that gear manager by chance?
I went to bed at 100% when I turned on the sleep monitor. Woke up after a 9 hour sleep and my Gear 2 was at 82%. I'm on the latest firmware and using an LG G2 phone.
I'm on the latest version and getting 3-5 days depending on use. If I use it a fair amount I will drop about 25% at the end of a full day. I have a GS5 though, maybe it's related to the phone its synced to?
I used mine for 3 days with about a combined 100 text and emails per day and on the 3rd night it was at 20%. I'm very happy with the battery life on mine.

Well, I no longer think its the watch that's the problem.... I shut off its Bluetooth and disconnected from my note 2 and after 8 hrs I only lost 10 percent battery...WTH is the deal here.. Anyone have any fixes for that issue? I couldn't find the gear manager everyone is talking about either.

If you have the correct version of gear manager from the apps store installed I'd say it's an issue with 4.3 on the note2. The official 4.4.2 was just release on SamMobile which is the version the S5 is running so that may fix your problem mate.
Ok so the gear 2 . I noticed the battery meter. Doesn't update . Is 100% says is 100 % all the time . .what would be the fix . ?any one got the same problem
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can't say I've noticed any weird battery glitches. First few things I could suggest is start by shutting down/restarting the watch, just to see if that fixes it. Next couple things to test would be to let the watch go on as long as possible to do a full charge cycle a couple of times. Maybe someone else has another suggestion. Beyond those, if it became an issue I would assume you could always claim warranty and get it replaced, as that's not how a battery meter should work...
I have had the watch since day one and been like that . It's starting to bother me coz all of a sudden after 3 days it would just die . When I plug it in it would charge from zero percent. I just did a couple of restarts . Factory reset same issue . I guess I'm going to best buy when they open up
