I got an update today in the morning that was like 7mb that fixed some sort of notification for 3rd party apps...or something like that I cant remember. But today my battery died before work was over and I'm pretty sure I was above 50% before I turned it off yesterday. I was getting more than 5% drain per hour. So what can I do?
What is your current firmware version?

Some USA customers have had reports back stating their motherboard or main boards have been replaced.
Which is probably a lie, as it's only been happening globally since the updates, my cousin has the Classic variant, and is on same firmware and his is still fine.

I might try this next as I've done a recovery reset and uninstalled the gear app on my phone.
Going to test it through tomorrow and drain it hard towards the end of the day to see what happens.

Samsung devices "select" Firmware by Sales Code/active CSC...
So not every Sales Code/CSC receive Firmware...
BQG4 and BQH1 are only for US CSC available:
Code:
XAR
Reading/detect active Sales Code is not easy... but not impossible.
Example here:
This should work with SDB without ROOT...
Code:
sh-3.2$ vconftool get -t string db/csc/salescode
[B]db/csc/salescode, value = DBT (string)[/B]
DBT is my German Sales Code...
Code:
sh-3.2$ vconftool get -t string db/csc/bincode
[B]db/csc/bincode, value = OXA (string)[/B]
All easy Codes are disabled and I know NO Tizen app from Store... which easy display Sales Code...
Only as info.
Best Regards
Edit 1.
Sales Code from Korea... also receive BQH1...
Code:
KOO
No idea if more countries... and when...

is it that samsung pay is a stock app in specific locations? can it not be used in others and thats why its not available in the store?
I was kind of excited to finally have one streamlined way to pay for stuff instead of various apps from various banks and was kind of disappointed to see it wasn't there and I couldn't find it anywhere to download officially.
Im thinking of getting it from apkmirror but I'd like to hear what you guys know about this
It does appear to be region specific ... I ordered my S7 from Amazon and it had Italy's firmware and no Samsung Pay wasn't stock. Tried to side load it with no luck, so I installed the Australian firmware and Samsung Pay is not only a stock app it's working fine (in US on T-Mobile).
I'd recommend looking into flashing a different region's firmware.

I wouldn't say it's a "massive" workaround ... Flashing new firmware isn't difficult at all. But, you will be starting over as it wipes internal memory. For me personally it was worth doing as I really enjoy the convenience of Samsung Pay. Sure you have to set up your phone again, but you do it once and it's a done deal.
Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
But does it not have to do with it being supported by the bank I use?

I have been waiting for this update for the AT&T S3 for while. It was made available for download and install this morning in NYC. S3 updated to build R765AUCU2BQD4 from build R765AUCU1APJ. Tizzen updated to version 2.3.2.3 from 2.3.2.0. See attachment for update details.
Yes!!! Finally
Thanks for the info, updating now! I connect via IOS so will be interested to see any improvements.
Got my updated this morning too.
Doesn't look like they fixed the issue with Text Message notifications

Battery Draining quickly since update
Anyone else experiencing any faster battery drainage after the update. I could go two days before this update between charges and now mine is dying within 6-8 hours off the charger. No new apps/settings since update. Same amount of usage
No changes for me.. still 2 to 3 days w/out charging...

That is the version I currently have and that update was released a while back. Tizen version is 2.3.2.2 while the latest one is 2.3.2.3
The one issue I've seen since the update is that if my S3 disconnects from my phone then reconnect, Wi-Fi does not turn off automatically as it should. This also contributes to increased battery drain. I set it to off rather than auto in the meantime
Just got this update on my S3 Classic, only listed one change in the update message, extending vibration alerts to third party messaging apps.
That they don't fix the broken audio notifications for third party messaging apps is really frustrating.

The update actually broke the voice to text fix they recently implemented, so now it's back to not recognizing anything at all.

Voice to text is still working on my end using Frontier and Galaxy S7.
After this update my battery drained like crazy. It was dead before I got home today from work and im pretty sure I had about 70 percent yesterday and I also turn it off when i'm not using it.
My batteries seems about the same as it was before the update. I know that after one of the previous updates my battery was just terrible for a little while, and then straightened out on its own for some reason.

This is still Running Gag with Sales Code...
If your SM-R760 has Sales Code DBT for instance... then NO update... BQC5 is still latest...
But our friends from US with Sales Code XAR receive also for SM-R760 FOTA update...
Code:
R760XXU2BQH1
After they received short time ago BQG4...
This has something to do with active CSC...
In theory you could also update... in alternate ways...
No idea if it is worth... as maybe more Bugs as Features inside...

Same here. **** samsung
Factory reset fixed battery issues that appeared a few days after the update - was going down to 15% in one day. Today, at 78% after 14 hours. Back to normal.
I just got notification for Tizen 3 update
Currently can't install it as I am away from Wi-Fi.
Anybody tried it?

Tizen.
Corrected
I installed few hours ago and all seems to be working properly. First thing I noticed that changed was the first wuget which was 4 components which you could not change is now 6 customized and a center one which takes you to all apps. Also I could be wrong but it appears the Under Armour apps are widgitized and I think more adaptable to Shealth.
Also it seems SVoice was upgraded. Could be me but it seems to run a little faster.
Overall a large upgrade for the device
Where are you?

Also a very nice feature which android wear has is the ability to place in watch only mode. Basically shuts down all apps and connections and just coverts to standard watch. Great to extended battery life. When I messed with it it indacted battery life would be over 15 days

Sorry.
The problem is.
Samsung has more then 10 different deviceS under the pet name:
"Gear S3"
And over 80 "different" CSC... Sales Code...
So for every Sales Code+ corresponding REAL device Samsung off Firmware update...
This makes around 90 Variants...
If I see Verizon...
Then I am 99,9 % sure you have:
SM-R765V...
Your Sales Code is:
Code:
VZW
So your latest available Firmware is:
Code:
R765VVRU1AQF4/R765VVZW1AQF4/R765VVRU1AQF4
Now you can check on your device... with easy peasy steps... if I dreaming or maybe this could be true...
Under Settings--> About device
You can find many infos...
Or you simple type:
Code:
*#1234#
Then you can try to compare...
Most users here report about Tizen 3 for SM-R760 and/or SM-R770
So check this post:

I installed 3.0 last night. Yesterday, on the previous firmware, my watch was generally using around 2% battery per hour. With the same watchface, using the watch in the same way, I'm now using more like 4-5% per hour. Might try a factory reset.

I performed the update yesterday, and I am also experiencing battery drain. After 2 hours off the charger, the battery is at 79%. You guys might want to wait on performing the update for now.
And I also updated yesterday fully charged at 10:30 p.m. woke up at 6:45 a.m. and the watch was at 97% so no battery drain here but I'm not running custom stuff

OTA updates are usually released in batches.
Just keep trying and it will pop up soon.
Mine showed up last night, near midnight. So far it seems very little different, I'm using NOVA Launcher and a couple of icons are changed, don't see much else.
I'll rate it as "mostly harmless."

I just now got my notice. Grow some patience it is not like it is going to do anything super awesome for you. In fact it will likely cause bugs and glitches for you. Btw I froze the updater gonna wait for a home cooked version from someone here.
Got the update, I lived outside US, I kept the sim card and just turn on WiFi and manually search for update.
It seems I have a lot better signal, anyone to confirm ?
When I turn off airplane mode, it find signal a lot faster.
Is there any chance we can use this version for other models, like the H990DS?
