[Available] Samsung Gear VR $199 !!!!!

It's ready to buy!! GO GO GO!
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/wearable-tech/SM-R320NPWSXAR

Ordered mine. Over night delivery. Hoping they ship today!

So I guess no package deal with a gamepad? I thought there was an official announcement that there would be a $250 package.
Anyone have any recommendations for a gamepad to go along with the gear vr?

Damnit, guess I pulled the trigger too soon. Thanks though.

Now I'm dying to see if we can get it to work with CM12. I'll be using CM12 as a daily driver and IF Gear VR works on CM12 then I might buy it. But if it doesn't work, it's not worth the $200 and forced use of TouchWiz. I'd also accept MultiROM if we could get it out our devices, but that also seems unlikely.
Anyway, glad to see Gear VR finally on the market! Hope y'all enjoy it.

Oculus APK
I have the google cardboard, does anyone know if the Oculus apk will be available to those who don't have the VR headset? I was just hoping to check it out before I bought the VR dev kit.

No Gear VR for me. I have glasses.

any VR news for canadians?

An FYI...
I was reading the description and it says that currently the Verizon Note4 model is not compatable....

It has focal adjustment which allows you to adjust the lenses if you're short sighted or long sighted
I'm waiting for it to come out on Amazon as I have some gift cards to use. At the moment they already have a skin protector kit but no actual headset

Shouldn't be surprised, that is their motto after all...
"Verizon - Screwing Customers Every Way Possible"

Just letting everyone know this is the Innovator Edition meaning you can buy it, but its really a technology release for early adapters of technology and developers. If the technology doesn't take off.... there's a chance they may just scratch this product. Just an FYI....

I didn't catch the incompatibility thing in the description. Is that in the official website?

Mine is sitting here waiting for the update... VZ told me the 18th. I have screen shots of the chat session. Hopefully that was a cautionary date and the rollout will begin today.

Yup totally ok with it! It's cheaper than a standalone pair of video goggles and can work just like one if all else fails.

It's on their website now, was not yesterday. I spoke with Samsung and they said they found out from Verizon this morning and added it to the site then.

I was just about to by this today, but something told me to hold off and wait and I'm glad that I did. I just seen an article on Android Central stating that it wasn't compatible with Verizon or Sprint variants of the Note 4 at this time, and that the updates will be pushed out by the carriers.
If I would have spent $236 for this device and overnight shipping only to have a temporary plastic paper weight, I would have been extremely pissed.

Ahhh! Nice. I would definitely want to try these out first, though. Seeing is believing.
Also... A friend of mine asked me why Samsung chose to have the plastic overlay over the back of the phone. It blocks the camera. Did they not want people turning on the camera and stumbling around an augmented reality world or something?

If you had a rooted Sprint phone, you could probably steal the required app from a T-Mo device.

Samsung Pay on the Gear S2

Many of you probably don't watch Korean dramas but they tend to have LOTS of product placements in them. Here's a recent one with Samsung Pay being used on the Gear S2. Looks like it'll pay through NFC.

That's funny. you know which drama? My wife watches them but I just find them silly. They always got the product placements but they have to cover the brand name. So it will be so obvious everyone is using Galaxy Edges but they got to put tape on everyone's phones covering up the name Samsung.

Speaking of Gear S2 and Samsung PAY. I'm I correct in thinking this will only work with NFC readers? Here in Los Angeles California area 95% of the places don't have NFC card reader or most of them are disabled by the vender to not accept NFC. I have been using Samsung PAY beta here for several weeks and I like it but wondering if the watch will have a limited Samsung pay only to be used with NFC vs. also having MST antenna in it.

S2 needs to be paired to a Galaxy phone and used on an NFC terminal for Samsung Pay to work. The tech that uses the magnetic strip terminals is too big for a watch.

Yeah was afraid of that. Looks like I'll continue to use my phone for Samsung pay rather then watch. I'm going to guess that its 5% or less that I have even used NFC vs. MST. It's just not an option around here.

The drama is called Yong Pal. The Gear S2 first shows up in episode 14
LOL all the of Samsung phones(S6, S6E/E+, Note5) in the drama have the logo on the front covered up. It was also very funny how everyone was using the S6 and S6E in the first 10ish episodes then suddenly they ALL have a Note 5.

Does anyone know how to get Samsung Pay to work on the Gear S2? I have had the beta for weeks and use it every day on my phone but I can't figure out how to get it on my watch. I frequent many stores that use NFC for payment. When I touch the watch on the terminal it beeps but doesn't do anything. I have no way of selecting a card.

I believe Samsung Pay will be listed there, if installed. I can't confirm due to having my S6 Edge with Verizon.

Does that mean your phone has to have a working Samsung Pay (as in not rooted) for Pay on work on the Gear S2?

Sad to say but yes... There isn't a way to set up Samsung Pay on the watch itself

I have the full Samsung Pay app installed on my Note 5, yet when I go to tap & pay, it says no app installed. I'm guessing that means I have to install the app from the Gear App store, which does not seem to have that app..... Anyone else get their tap & pay set up on their watch?

No luck for me either... I guess we'll have to wait a bit more....

I saw a few reviews that stated it will be a separate app made specifically for the Gear S2 and will come in November. So it looks like now we wait.

I unable to get mine working too, its saying app isn't installed but i do have the Samsung pay installed and working on the phone with no issues and searching the Gear S2 apps store - there is no any payment app. currently to install.

Its not available till first quarter next year per Samsungs twitter page. Which sucks!

I hope they've miniaturized the looppay device so it can be used in the Gear S2.

Samsung S2 Classic 4g?

I am very seriously considering getting a S2 Classic 4g for fathers day. I currently use a Note 3 but will be pre-ordering the Note 6 as soon as it is available. If you have the S2 4G, how do you like it?
Could you please provide a link to the app store? I would like to see what type of app that are now available. I like the idea of making a quick phone call straight from the watch. Is there a navigation app that works with the watch yet? Will it vibrate on your wrist when a turn or exit is coming up? Can you use samsung pay from the watch?
Thanks for any advice

I have the Verizon sport version. It is nice to know it will still work if I leave my phone at home.
I don't think you can look at the app store without a watch paired. I can look up an app if you want.
I've seen a few navigation apps but they require you watch be connected via Bluetooth, but otherwise I believe they do want you want.
There is no samsung pay yet, but it's supposed to be released in 2016.

In this case, I think it was great advice since I remarked in the original thread that i was going to be getting a Note 6 when it becomes available. I think I will wait for the S3 since I will have the newest samsung phone available when the S3 comes out. I would think the note 6 and the S3 will work together much better than the note 3 would with the S2.

I'd think the note 6 will work fine with the Gear S2 since the S2 is the latest at the time the note 6 is released. Not only that but no one knows when or if the gear S3 will be released, what it will look like, or what specs it will have. Waiting for a release is a huge gamble, waiting for a device that may or may not be released is an even larger gamble.

Want to get the S3 have some questions

I want to get the Gear S3 Frontier. I have a Honor 8 phone. I use Google Messenger and Google Allo. Do both of these apps work with the Gear S3, can I send and receive text messages etc. I don't want to use the stock Samsung app.

It is for android wear watches so doesn't do much for gear, it only enables replying to the messages even if you are not using samsung's message app. You can just use SMSGear instead of doing this actually. https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/opensource-sms-application-gear-s3-t3557263

I will probably skip the Samsung watch and grab a wear watch instead like the Lg Style. After some reading Samsung watches are great if you have a Samsung phone, but if you do not then it's hit or miss with most apps and some don't work at all. And of course the apps I use are the ones that apparently don't work at all with Samsung. Shame really because I think the Samsung watch looks almost like the $1000 Tag Heuer smart watch. If they would have only used wear software instead of there own.

(I'm not sure where you're at but) Check Best Buy. The Samsung Rep told me you can return the S3 within a 15-day period after buying. I asked the rep at a Best Buy (at a location with a Samsung gallery -- not all locations have) to take the S3 out of Store Demo Mode so I can pair it with my old Galaxy Note 2 but he said he can't. He mentioned I can buy and return it within 15 days if I'm not happy with it. If you're going to do this, see if you can involve a manager. Sometimes reps just say whatever they want to make a sale. But who knows. He could be telling the truth.

Best buy's return policy is 15 days unless otherwise stated. The only reason I know that is they will price match anything you buy within the return period as well. I had bought a TV and on the 15th day it dropped by about $500. Called them up and they refunded that amount. The info on price matching and return policy can be found easily on their website.

So I checked out the S3 at T-Mobile store. Never mind its way to big and heavy. Also it didn't work with half the stuff I wanted to do on my Pixel. I think this watch is great if you have a Samsung phone, but if it's a non Samsung phone then expect half the stuff not to work right. I think I will pick up the new LG Sport watch instead...

If you're concerned about sizes, I think the LG Sport Watch is bigger but along with its size, you get more screen and a higher resolution. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room to improve on battery life for the LG even for its bigger size. I'm on the morning of Day 3 and I still have 62% battery power (granted I turn it off after 9pm and turn it back on at 6am). Lots of trade-offs. But I agree. You get a better experience with the Gear S3 if you have a Galaxy phone. Have you seen this article? http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-watch-sport-vs-samsung-gear-s3
EDIT: One of the best things I love about the S3 is Samsung Pay (way better than Android Pay). Never again do I pull my wallet out (except when I occasionally buy wine -- I still get carded LOL!)

That hasn't been my experience at all. I have a Moto G4 and my wife has a Huawei phone and the S3 works very well with either. I've paired it separately with both plus an older Moto E I and everything works without a hitch. I know there have been some hitches with the IPhone but I wouldn't touch one of those if my life depended on it so I can't comment there.

There isn't a huge difference in the S3 user experience with a Samsung phone versus other branded Android phones. Regardless, if integration with the Google ecosystem is paramount, an AW watch will fulfill those duties better than the S3. But the LG Sport has a few serious shortcomings compared to the S3: inferior battery life, fixed wristband (a comfort and customization issue), and lack of MST. The LG Sport is the best AW 2.0 watch on the market only because it's the only one on the market right now. I too am waiting, I just chose to do it while using the S3 in the interim.

Can I ask why no one is discussing the new watches?
I have searched and cannot find a thread for this or a dedicated new forum page.
I am probably just being dumb but if there is such a thread could someone kindly direct me to it.

Also I think I have seen every single you tube on this watch (twice over) I especially liked the first unboxings by Tim Schofield which came out yesterday.

Mine arrives on 6th September. Fingers crossed for early deliveries!

Why?
Is bixby and 100 mah battery worth 350 euro? And the removal of MST?

I accept the upgrade is not massive but I was always torn between the S3 Classic or Frontier and I believe that this is a perfect blend of the two. So essentially it it just aesthetics for me.
I got the Frontier second hand for £180 and Samsung are giving me £100 trade in so I think overall it is a reasonable price to pay.
Also the mst is totally irrelevant to me as I never use my watch for payment, always happy to just use my phone.
I am interested on those who are receiving theirs today in the USA. Please let us have your reviews.

For me the fact that I can go swimming with it now is worth the upgrade. I didn't use MST on my Gear S3 anyways. I ordered from BestBuy and I got an email I can pick it up today. So will grab it on my way home from work.

Can you test whatsapp? Change something or is still like s3? You can use bixby for send new WhatsApp message ?

Well so far I'm not impressed. Its been a little over 24 hours of light use and my battery is at 75%. The galaxy app says 2 days 12 hrs left, so that would put the battery life somewhere around 3 and 1/2 days about 1 1/2 days shorter then they claim (5 days). The Bixby app is horrible, if I ask the weather or a question it takes a very long time to respond compared to the S-Voice of S3, at one point it even froze. The daily briefing feature is kinda cool but I assume the S3 will get this in an update. Anyways as it stands now not sure it was worth the upgrade.

I upgraded from the LTE Gear S2. This was a huge upgrade for me in my opinion. I didn't use Samsung Pay on the S2 because it didn't have MST so I'm not really missing anything. I love the battery life of this watch. My old S2 barely made it through a work day. The one thing I miss from the S2 is the Timer app. I used it when cooking. There is no app like it on the Galaxy Watch.
I also would like to see the SmartThings integration with the watch. The Samsung ad shows this, but no app on the watch. I have lots of lights and other items that would be nice to control on the watch. I hope that this will be a new app that gets pushed out with an upgrade.
Overall, I love the new Galaxy Watch.

For some reason the timer was not on the S3 either but it is an available app to download.

Yep I'm in the US. The Timer App and the Stop watch app have to be manually downloaded like the S3. Why those 2 aren't on by default is beyond me.

^this.
I waited to see the new Galaxy Watch with all the rumors about it but once it was announced with a bigger battery at the expense of MST i just bought the S3 Frontier 2 days later for $179 new from Best Buy (had them price match). I was looking at the S3 Frontier for 3 reasons, battery life, MST, and bezel/look. I'm getting 3-4 days on a charge so don't need more battery at the expense of MST and to get this look it's in a smaller form factor so this made no sense to spend $350 over the $179 price

I mean, just look at this video, everything is the same, the gear wearable app looks the same, RAM is the same, the speed/performance is the same. TLDR: If you are a pro swimmer then get the galaxy watch, thats it.

I finally found the app. Not sure why it was showing up when I was searching for the app Timer

fyi, got a firmware update this morning. R800XXU1BRH3 - Improved Samsung Health Experience, Improved device stability.

Now the watch has been released surely there should be a dedicated page for this on XDA? Have I missed it somehow?
Is interest in this watch so small?
Can't wait for the release in the UK.
