Has anyone ever seen an issue like seen in the picture (horizontal dark bands across the Gear S2 screen). I've only had the watch two weeks and this happened. I've tried soft and hard resets to no avail.
I have the same issue and can't find an answer to it anywhere. My S2 is only a week old

Since it is still under warranty I filled out an online request for service. They emailed me a shipping label and I sent it off to Plano, TX on Saturday. The status today says "Replaced LCD" and now it's back in the mail to me. We'll see...

Hey Mikoube, how long were you seeing the problem? I just started seeing this today. Has the problem recurred?
Thanks!!

No. I actually fixed it today. There was a recent firmware update on the watch and one of the custom watchfaces that I had previously installed must've been causing the problem. I did multiple factory resets, but I keep trying to keep the watchfaces that I had already downloaded...that wasn't resolving the issue. I did a complete factory reset today and wiped out all the custom watchfaces and the problem disappeared. I'm happy now!! Thanks Mikoube for your help!!
You're welcome
Hello! I'm having the exact same issue. Can you explain what you did to fix it? Did you erase all the downloaded faces and then do a hard factory reset? Or vise versa? I'm at work right now and would love to achieve your same results since it happened 2 hours after my Warranty expired ??.
Here's how I fixed mine: Sent it back for repair. Waited a week. Received a fixed watch.

Hey shinta,
The fact is that one off your watchface is causing trouble to tizen. So Try to make a full factory reset. It should solve your issue.
So i got these same lines on my device lastnight. It is mainly noticable when I turn on Aod. I dont want to bother with rma on a 2 month old device if this is going to fix itself. I tryed a few resets and its still there now. I dont mind waiting a few days though.
edit:
My gear s2 screen is working fine now. It only had the lines for 3 days. I will keep a close eye on it though and update if it returns.
Same issue, I did factory reset and deleted all downloaded Wacho faces . Still the problem!

The bands were back a few weeks ago... I figured that when I set the brightness to "1", the band are little and when I put on "10", they are bigger.
So I tried to let the watch during 1 day with a brightness of "1". The day after all band were gone...
Hope this can help some of you guys.
Enjoy.
Same problem with the screen of mi gear fit 2 band, resolved only changing the screen

Same problem here, I turned it on, and it was fine, then I UPDATED a few apps and faces and lost network, after that the problem started, so I belive its a software issue and not hardware, could be coincidence, its a month old watch...
My watch is 5 months old and I just have this problem last night

Try to reset the watch. Cut the BT on the phone so it doesn't start pairing, go into the tools on the watch and chose reset.
Put the watch off and now delete pairing on the phone and reboot it to be sure the watch is no longer paired.
Now start the pairing process all over.
Hope this helps

Mine too. Suddenly decided after a week to continually disconnect from phone. Get a message saying 'unfortunately smartwatch 2 had stopped working'. Tried every reset. Annoyingly it works fine on my wife's galaxy s4. Really hope it's not the z1 that's knackered! Returning on Monday.

If it works fine with your wife's s4 than its not the problem with the watch.
Its the problem on your phone with smartwatch 2 app.
Try to delete data and reinstall app on phone, delete pairing and reset watch and start again.

Yeah, hopefully mine will be picked up today, but I'm told it may be up to 14 days for replacement. And they kept talking about repair when talking on the phone when it was DOA, hopefully they took on board that it just needs replaced...

Hello guys,
My gear 2 camera stuck on blurry and I can't do anything about it. I've tried so many ways changing Tizen versions, formatting and rooting the gear 2 ,,etc
None of them worked and its been almost 6 month my gear 2 camera are useless, Can anyone help me to fix this issue?
Is it related to hardware or its software?
Thanks for anyone who have a clue to help me out.
It's a known issue so I was told camera gets stuck in macro mode, try doing a close up shot to confirm.
The focus mode is on Automatic but still working as micro mode!
So it means there is no solution?

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.

Has anyone else experienced the touch screen becoming unresponsive? It happened first after updating to the EVA8 software version. Everytime I do a factory reset the watch will work fine for a day or two, then it gets worse to the extent I have to reboot the watch several times a day.

i have standard one 44mm and there is no problems like that in my watch. After format are you resotring backup or do you set it up from scratch and did you try to use it without any custom app instaled for some time to check if problem will show on clean watch?

No, I've not restored any backups, and the only things I've installed are a few official Samsung watchfaces. I've done a factory reset this morning, so I won't add the watch faces for a day or too, but so far the touch screen has been fine.

It happened to my watch 4 classic after the EVA8 update also. I thought it was because I used a custom watch face (pixel one), but it also happend on a stock watch face. Now I'm using another stock watchface and it seems not to happen anymore. It's definitely a bug. I wondering if it has something to do with the reported AOD bug (because I don't use AOD, maybe this is how it's manifesting). Do you use AOD?

No mate, I don't use AOD either. I only installed the Frontier watch face, straight from the Gear Wear app. My watch got the latest EVB4 update today, so I've reinstalled the Frontier watch face to see what happens. Cheers.

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.
