We're going on 2 months since other countries and markets received updates addressing the "screen on time" and "lack of weather updates". What gives Samsung??? Why are you ignoring the SM-R732 R732XXU2AOJ3 models??? :crying:
R730TUVU1AOL3... I got that from T mobile 3-4 weeks ago. Do you have a Great s2 or Gear s2 3g?

Maybe they have not yet updated the SM-R732's (non-3g) in the U.S. because they are simply a huge bureaucratic global corporation where one part doesn't know what the other parts are doing. But the U.S. is also one of the few markets that have been offering the 3G versions at all, so it could be that they need (or want) to roll out specific updates for the S2s tied to carriers (Verizon, AT&T, etc.) that fix issues peculiar to the 3G versions (e.g., battery life) before they roll out the update for the non-3Gs.
Another possibility is that they're about to release the Samsung Pay update that enables the NFC capabilities, and so those of us in the U.S. will leapfrog the modest update that people started getting back in November. One can hope.

I have the Gear S2, you know, the one that came out BEFORE your T-Mobile 3G. Nice of Samsung to update the carrier models and completely ignore the early adopters that didn't want 3G.

One things for sure - Samsung is ignoring their S2 customer base in the US. No update, no discussion, no acknowledgement at all. I will reconsider my next Samsun purchase if this is their customer service standard.

I got the weather update to work by using the stock weather on my Note 4. Now it updates as it should. If you don't have a Samsung phone or if you've rooted I don't know if it'll work. I had to delete all the other weather apps though and I liked Transparent Weather. But if I'm using the Gear to get weather then I don't really need my phone that much.
I wonder if it is possible to "hide" a phone behind European proxy and try to update watch? Maybe sim card needs to be removed in case phone checking for location even with wifi on.

Well, back to not updating. How weird is that? Gotta get this fixed, Samsung. Assuming, of course, there actually IS an update out there. Somewhere. Maybe.
Just got all excited! Had an update for my S2 and did the install. Nope. Still the same old AOJ system on the watch. I"m hatin' me some Samsung right now. Anyone else get that today? Any idea what it is??
AND I lost all but 2 of my watch faces even though I backed them up. This sort of poor coordination and customer support is unacceptable.

It is an update to the app itself (Gear Manager, Plugin) and not the software update. This is what we've been getting since the devices launched.

You're in for a rude awakening if you think the Gear S2 is going to receive regular or frequent updates in the U.S. or anywhere else. The Gear S on AT&T never received an update the rest of the world received months earlier and only got one stability update from its original launch s/w.
Samsung typically gets their watches stable and leaves them there moving on to the next watch for any additional features. All Gear S2's will probably receive two or three updates then die there. Carrier versions may get fewer depending on each carrier's mood. We'll get Samsung Pay and that might require an OS update on the watch but if history repeats itself that'll be it. The Gear S3 will be out a year-ish after the S2 and will have features and enhancements that won't be passed down. That's just the way it is.
P.S. - I knew this coming from two previous Gear's and bought it anyway.

No doubt. Luckily I like the watch, even with one or two things off. What I don't like is being ignored so when I do buy again I'll probably go Moto and HTC.

Well - the rest of the world has received TWO UPDATES to their S2 and the Carriers have at least received one update since I got mine in December. I don't necessarily expect frequent updates, but when the rest of the world gets 2 updates and I've YET to receive 1 of them, it gets EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. Between this and almost NO APPS, can't say I'll think about the S3!!

You must not have done a lot of research. You buy a Gear for its advanced capabilities when paired with a late model Samsung phone. Third party apps have always been thin and that'll most likely continue. The core apps are strong. All smartwatches, especially those that need to be tethered, are a solution looking for a problem. At least the S2 is comfortable and stylish at doing what it does.

Has anyone heard or read anything about when we might get Android 6 on the S6? I read somewhere that Samsung has an Android 6 beta testing program going on in South Korea, but there was no mention of when beta testing would end. And then it has to go through Verizon before we get it, right? If we don't have an unlocked bootloader by the time the Android 6 OTA rolls out I think I'll just bite the bullet and update even if it means losing root.
The latest leak said 1st quarter 2016, but there's no proof the leak was legit. If it was, however, that give us until the end of March. Even then, I can't remember if that was just on Samsung's end or if it included Verizon's end.
2016 Q1 is just for Samsung's part of this.
I have a contact that I've asked that would absolutely know. I sent them a text asking for a date. They said "very soon". I will try to make time to call them today and get a more exact date.
I have read that S6 gets MM as soon as this month. But since Verizon seems to be slow at updates, i wouldnt hold my breath for anything soon.
Uh oh, now the buzz is that the first S6 marshmallow wont appear until February. And who knows when a Verizon version shows up.
And now... February / March. I may change to a 6P before S6 gets MM...
Thanks for the replies...I still remember waiting and waiting (and waiting) to get lollipop on my S4.
Whatever Samsung's release schedule is plus 3-4 months for Verizon to de-usefulapp-it and crap-ware-ify it.

It's extra annoying that the carriers still pre-load all that crapware. Their old justification that we're subsidizing your phone purchase so we're putting that junk on your phone doesn't hold water anymore since they are going to monthly payment plans. All of the apps (and I mean ALL) should be able to be completely uninstalled, not just disabled/hidden/frozen/etc.
February or March plus (hopefully not but very likely) another 3 or so months for Verizon to load it up with bloatware.

Yep. I think carriers should now just keep all their crapware apps on the Play store. Some people do like some of the "value-add" crap that carriers install but many I think would like not having to deal with hiding/removing/freezing the crapware. All they have to do is just put the apps in the play store and if people want them, they can install them there. Maybe Google can jump in and help the situation somehow. I don't know.

I couldn't agree more. I wouldn't mind if they "lock" the bootloader until you fully pay your device. The updates should be the same way Apple pushes their updates; regardless of carrier.
Google has the power to impose this just like Apple did; to control the user-experience all throughout. IT'S TIME!

I don't so much have a problem with it being pre-installed, but that it can't be fully uninstalled. Sure, preload VZ Navigator, IMBD, NFL, etc but make all those completely removable just like any other app I download from the Play Store. The fact that all you can do is disable them is complete BS.
I've been complaining loudly to Verizon because their last 2 firmware updates have completely killed what little battery life my S6 used to have. When "Android OS" and "Android System" continually show up at the top of the battery usage list using 25% or more of my battery life I know there is a problem. I finally talked to someone willing to discuss the issue who "unofficially" agreed there is an issue and that they are working on it and it would probably be fixed in the 6.0 release "coming soon." Wasn't good enough for me so I bit the bullet and got a Nexus 5x (and am very glad I did!).

It's crazy because I haven't seen a video on YouTube about the update I got the Samsung pay update which updated the gear app but have not received an update for the watch itself
Called Samsung and they said I should definitely have had the update from the 15th and did verify that my phone still has the old firmware. They could not help me over the phone and told me to take it to a Samsung shop at Best Buy. I will do that today and see what happens.

Yep went to the Samsung shop and they are complete and utter morons. Totally incompetent. All they did was make it so I had to reinstall all my watch-faces and the phone app now gives me an error when I try to re-order apps and crashes. She couldn't even understand what I was talking about regarding a firmware update for the watch. No matter what way I tried to explain it over and over. Such a difference between Apple support and Samsung so called "support". What a joke. Now I am worse off from when I started. No update and and the app now crashes. Great, Looks like I'll be trading this in for a Android Wear watch when the new ones come out.
Finally got the update! Samsung support still sucks though. Hope this fixes the broken app issue that they broke.
Got mine today
Got my official update last week and it bricked my watch. Now in boot loop and under recovery menu factory reset is missing, only download, which as far as i can tell is totally useless and shut down. So have to take it to the 4th Samsung shop, the ones i have been at are of no help.
So nice, thank you for the OFFICIAL wonderful update, be careful, it could turn your watch into a bracelet.
Yeah I now have no faith in their support. The app is still broken and Samsung doesn't seem to give a damn let alone be able to fix it. I hope my S7 Edge has no problems until I pay it off. If a company cannot provide support or is unwilling to do so, there is no reason to purchase their products, plain and simple. Not getting the Gear S3 when it comes out which I was going to do, not getting the Tab S3 when that comes out which I was also going to do. I'll go with an Android Wear 2.0 watch when they start hitting stores and keeping my Ipad Air 2.

I just got the update last night. I'm on T-Mobile. Any other new additions included in this update?
I was really hoping to get rid of the required PIN for Samsung Pay. Annoying to have to constantly enter it if I'm not wearing my watch super tightly all the time. Might just abandon Samsung Pay on my watch and just use it on my phone from now on...

The new update allows you to set the pin for payment only. I think the settings menu changed a little bit, not noticing other major changes.

The update from T-Mobile states that VoLTE was added, a patch for the BlueBorne security issue was added and "Samsung Value Pack 1" was added. I have tried, with no luck finding out what this Value Pack 1 contains. I assume it is different than the Value Pack from April.
That being said, I notice no differences in UI, Settings UI or widgets.

Hopefully it fixes the damn lag issues with Tizen 3.0.0.1, My S3 went from being amazing pre-Tizen 3.0 to a steaming pile of **** with 3.0.0.1... it Lags increadibly HARD. I wan't to downgrade back to 2.3.2.0 but from everything that I've been reading, its possible but we loose S Pay... Anyone have any info if there is a downgrade available with SPay still functional?

3.0.0.1 made my S3 Frontier lag like nasty... On 2.3.2.0 it was amazing, snappy, responsive, could get rid of the S Health b.s. I commute over an hour to and from work and use my watch to control my music on my phone. After a certain time, the watch just gives me the notification that I've been sitting for over an hour and doesn't let me swipe down and click on the music tray to quickly get to the music controller. If I pick up calls using my watch, it takes over 3 seconds before the mic begins to work... it just lags and is over all slower than crap... Makes me want to chuck the watch. I love S Pay though, but at this point I'm willing to forgo S Pay and just downgrade Tizen to have a good functioning watch. My batter went from 80% to 74%. I'll let you know how the battery performs with the update. Hopefully the response is snappier too, but I'm not expecting much at this point.
Nothing here on my T-Mobile Gear S3 frontier. I'll keep a look out, while I continue to hunt down the internet for a downgrade to Tizen 2 without bricking this thing again.
I miss the days with the Gear S where I could just plug in the watch and get the files easily off of SamMobile.

Is there anyway to go back to old firmware? I bought the watch on 3.0.0.1 and everything seems to be miles out...steps....floor count....ect.

Hey PiperGCA,
So I've been testing my S3 and with 3.0.0.2 seems to be a little bit snappier than 3.0.0.1 (No where near as snappy as 2.3.2.3 but improvement is improvement!) The battery is also doing really well! Have you tried to factory reset your S3 Frontier since you upgraded the firmware?

which was seems to be better.
2.in my experiance over tizen 3.0.0.2 is now sammy have implement quiet better battery life and connectivity improvement.
3.if anyone wants to revert back then he can revert but i would suggest all of members to reset your watch when u get an new update.first update and then reset it.so,you can get max. profit from your update.
4.there might be some issue can be found with tizen 3.0.0.1 or tizen 2.3.2.4 while adding spay cards.because software with server is upgraded but not your firmware.due to that it might not get activated.
The Samsung announcement mentioned in the OP appears to be only for the R760 (Non-LTE model) - Is there a similar announcement either from Samsung or AT&T for the R765A (LTE model sold by AT&T)?
(Revised 3/2/21)
If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!

I read Samsung already started rolling out out this update at the beginning of the week(2/15)
to include this handset. I'm TMB and that's a
no-go (so far) and Sprint hasn't rolled it out either.
Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!
(We will know more soon, I'm certain)!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

Yeah...what's up with that samsung? You shoot the new update to our traded-in or sold devices first, after we spent more money with you to be last on the update list again?! wtf...
having 986U, T-mobile unlocked from the included app, I already received the update UI 3.1 here in Africa where I am with my job. The SIM card /carrier is Africell.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.
Finally got mine today. I am with AT&T

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
Got it today. U1 XAA running on visible.

Yes, Texas and not impressed with it. Much ado about nothing!
