Well it was "released" here in the first post of this sub-forum. I hope Tizen Experts got the developer's permission to repost this.

i think your hopes are really high for a watch.... there are nooooo custom roms for gear watches, they dont have gps, they dont have wifi, no gps, nothing.... this is why they must be tethered to a phone in order to be somewhat functional. imagine "surfing the web" on a 1.6" screen.... a keyboard? hmm might fit but you're going to be making alot of mistakes while typing on it because of its size... i dont see much happening in terms of usefullness like a phone is

What is funny is that root was released here on this forum and this guy found a copy of XDA thinking it was the actual release. He came back here and posted what was first posted here, you can find the thread easily...
If you use the swype feature on the android keyboard you can type really well. On the first gear I used dolphin browser and watched NFL games in meetings while connected to my nexus 5. Just saying the neo is the watch I use now and I am looking forward to doing the same thing since the battery last much longer.
I'm hopeful too. And if not, there should be some more open-source friendly watches coming out soon .
For the price I paid, I can't complain

I was using a Nokia N8 device before I got this Samsung Galaxy SI9003 device. One thing I noticed on the galaxy is that packet data icon is always on on the top bar. The nokia N8 would connect and disconnect automatically when checking for emails in a schedule. Is this feature available on the android 2.2.3 platform?
Try Juice Defender.
Hi upichie, thanks for referring to juice defender. I installed it and will play around with it for a few days. Earlier I tried automate it. I did not like that. Thank you once again.

... what?
Looks like spam to me. I think we can ignore Mostafa's message. Hey upichie, I was planning on going for the galaxy note. What do you think about that device?

It looks awesome, but it's too big for me personally.
Hey upichie. I finally got the Ginger Bread upgrade to my Galaxy SL GT-I9003. Still exploring the new firmware. Do you know what the major differences between Froyo and Gingerbread are? Thanks.
Google, my friend. Shouldn't be hard to find.
Thanks, yes, I did notice some differences on Google. Thanks for all the help.
I thought this was going to be available at launch....

I see a press release on the Fleksy website saying that the keyboard is now available for the Gear 2. I would like to know how to install it. I see videos and such showing how to do it on the old Galaxy Gear but since the OS change I am not sure the same ADB process is the same. I would like to know how to install this and see how it works.
Since I am a new user I can't post links but if you search gear 2 keyboard you will find it.

Not out yet. They sent me a message on Twitter saying very soon. They are working with Samsung.
Hey everyone,
I am very excited about possibilities the Gear S will have. But I already have a gear 2 neo so my question is, do we get a nice Tizen update soon ?? Anyone found any information ?
My Gear Manager is updating now, and its either a pretty huge update or it's bugged because it's froze on "Installing 2/2" and has been on that screen for over an hour

Yeah Gear Manager is one thing, I am speaking about Tizen, on the watch here.
BTW, everyone should see this if not done!

And also, an hour seems weird to me... maybe restart your phone and see what happens.

Nope nothing heart yet. But check the tizenexperts.com site. It will post any rumors or news about tizen pretty quick.
So I just got an update on my Gear S2, SM-R720. I believe this is the one that brings features from the S3?

I'm assuming your Gear S2 is BT/wifi, not 3G/4G? Has anyone in the US on 3G/4G gotten the update on T-Mobile? Thanks.

Not for me yet.
Just a heads up. My battery life tanked after the update regardless of what I did. What fixed it was recharging a couple times. For some reason that worked.

No, it's really crazy that the $300 version of the Gear S2 still does not have automatic sleep tracking. I wish I could just flash it to the generic Samsung 3g firmware and be done with T-Mobile, but it doesn't seem to be a possibility (I started a thread here, but no responses so far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/general/gear-s2-3g-t-mobile-version-flash-to-t3518844 ).
I'd also complain to T-Mobile directly, maybe if enough of us complain, they'll do something about it.

Hi rogerperk,
I have same Gear S2 732 in same firmware as you (in France), and for me too, battery drain is present
Sure, not as much as you, but now, I've got a "low battery alert 15%" at 23h00 when, before, I get to bed at 00h30 with 35-40% battery left ! For sure, there is something that change (same watchface as before) !
Sadly, 2 charging (and even more than 10 actually) dont change anything for me
Best regards
Not good. I recharged mine a couple times and did a factory reset and that seemed to do it. I'm actually getting far better battery life now. Over 24 hours and I'm only at 77%! I hope that keeps up! I cut out alot of stuff I don't use like NFC and constant wifi and heartrate checks. That sort of stuff.

sorry, I misunderstood, I have the 3G classic. Model R735T. No need to swear!
At least T Mobile has released the update. Verizon never released the first value pack update nor have they released the newest update. Anyone know what is wrong with Big Red?

It seems you could clear ram through your phone. You might need to delete some stuff to free up enough memory

I do not remember authorizing any updates, but this started last year in December. And I did have it set to auto update. I had called Samsung support they told me my battery was shot and they could replace it and since my warrenty was expired it would be almost 200.00. So the watch has been sitting since then.

I wish I could do this but my watch does not stay on long enough to go through the options.

This doesn't read too hard to do.
In the state it is in now it's no use so imho nothing to loose.
