Gear S3 embarrasses me with RF security systems - Samsung Gear S3

Hello everyone. Greetings from Brazil!
I am going through a very embarrassing situation with my Gear S3 Classic: Every time I walk into (or worse: out of) a store that has one of those anti-theft tag security systems, the systems beeps, like if my watch was a stolen thing. I believe it may be related to the NFC or MST interfering with the detection system, but I also have a Galaxy S7 with both radios enabled and never ran into any problems.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anybody have a clue on what may be happening and how to stop it?
I have already tried to disable NFC in settings but it won't stop it from beeping. This thing is really annoying...
Thank you all in advance.

Stupid Question...
If you shutdown the Watch...
OFF
Then same problem?
Only to be sure no RFID Label or something else is inside...
Best Regards

That happened to me the other day in the mall and in some stand alone stores. I wasn't sure if it was the watch or the Note 8. I joked about stealing stuff on the way in the store.

WhatsApp and other App notifications not showing.

Hey there guys,
I tried the search function but couldn't get much info on my issue to be honest, I'm on mobile so it was also a bit harder to try narrow it down.
I got the Mate 8 this past Friday and I've been trying to get the notifications to come up on the lock screen and can't seem to get it sorted. I just moved from an S4 with CM on it and even other Android phones have it where if say you get a WhatsApp message it will show up in a sort of card that you can expand or swipe away. How do I enable this because I'm obviously missing something here.
I read somewhere that it says you have to take the lock screen off, however I can't seem to do that, that option says it's either blocked by administrator or something.
Any help would be appreciated guys.
Unfortunately there's no complete solution for this, that's why I sold mine and bought a Samsung phone
Oh Alright, I'm not too worried I guess and I love the phone too much to do something like that :laugh: Well I'll make a plan.
Thanks for the reply.
Just search forum. there is a few solution for it. Notification issues for WhatsApp vanished.

Which one did you try? Did you make it system app or downgrade android system webview or disable doze?
I downloaded Android Web view, disabled doze, all I can do without root.

Voice Input problem with Gear S2 Classic, Please Help!

Hi. I've recently purchased Gear S2 Classic, updated to the latest firmware and smartphone apps/plugin/service.
I am facing a strange problem with voice recognition. S-Voice App on the watch works 100% perfectly, and can easily recognize and transcript my voice. However, in all other apps, when I try to use voice input (like when I reply to a message), nothing happens! as if I am not even talking. The problem also happens in Voice Memo app on the watch, where I can record my voice but the option to convert my voice to text doesn't work. I checked the audio recording quality on my smartphone and it was fine and clear. The watch's microphone is working alright, but for some reason anything except S Voice App cannot use voice-to-text input.
To recap: The problem is NOT S-Voice. it's voice input (which may rely on S-Voice, I know). But S-Voice app itself on the watch is working just fine all the time. My issue is limited to using voice input (voice-to-text) in other apps.
As for the internet connection. I tried both 4G and WiFi (24Mbps broadband), through Bluetooth and also directly connected the watch to home WiFi.
Any idea? Please Help!
My devices info:
Gear S2 Classic: firmware DPFB / Language: English UK
Samsung Gear v2.2.16070451
Gear Plugin v2.2.03.16082251
Samsung Accessory Service v3.0.24_160630
SASystemProviders v2.3.99
I'm facing the very same problem, but couldn't figure out any solution so far ...
Any ideas anyone?

I bought my watch just 2 weeks ago, so I can and will still get the support from Samsung. I've got a phone call scheduled on Monday regarding this issue with the tech department of Samsung ... pray to God I get to phone with someone who knows what he's doing ...
I'll keep you guys up-to-date.

I fixed mine this morning by going into application manager on phone and deleting the data on the S-voice application. Try that.

Hmmm, I got my Gear S2 connected to a Sony Xperia Z2, so I don't have S-Voice installed on that :crying:
oh...hope you find a fix soon.
long shot but how about clearing the cache on the gear apps on phone?
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Same here. Worked in the beginning then stopped. Sent an e-mail to Samsung support but no reply yet. Speech-to-text-recognition on the Gear should be independent from S-voice app on phone, no? I had the latter disabled already when speech to text still worked with the Gear.
you could well be right and it was just a coincidence...just glad mine's sprung back into life.

Tried that already, but that only makes me reconnect everything ... so no improvement by that.
I also contacted Samsung support online and in person, and they told me it's possibly permissions-related (on the watch) and can only be fixed by an upcoming firmware update. However, their final definitive answer is still pending. They promised to contact me within a couple of days.
Hey,
I've recently talked to a Samsung tech and he said that this problem was a general issue with the Gear S2 at the moment (apparently server-related). There is no fix at the moment and they can't do anything. They've forwarded the problem (since it is already known) to the guys in Korea and they have to resolve this issue somehow, either with a software update or some server fix.
He furthermore told me that they don't even get noticed, whenever the Korean guys fix a problem, so I should just keep on trying the feature now and then.
Let's just hope, they won't take long
Update (2016-10-13): Works like a charm now, they seem to have fixed it.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that Voice Input (STT) on my Gear S2 is now working again. I didn't do anything at all. I guess it was, in fact, a server-side issue that has now been resolved.
Let's know if it is working for you too.
Thanks to everyone for your contribution!
I'm hoping someone has come up with a solution. I've been experiencing this same issue for the past couple of weeks with my Gear S2. I've cleared out the cache history and I've even reverted to factory reset on the watch. Still, nothing. HELP!
I have a same priblem.. but even by cleare the cash nothing happend. It doesn't work yet.
Same here I have tried everything and it is so frustrating! One of the main reasons why I have a smartwatch is to be able to voice reply to messages.
Anybody found a solution yet?

Waze App

Good morning All.
So I am new to the forums so excuse my nervousness here. I have a odd question for those who already have this phone. Basically, I would like to know if the Waze app Galaxy S8+ operate fluidly? The reason that I ask is because when I had my Note 5 I would notice while I was using the app during the navigation mode it would skip as I was driving.
When I had the phone then I thought it was a firmware issue from the app or the phone it self, however that was not the case because they were both up to date at that present time.While researching I found out that I was not it was an issue with the Android OS.
I am very interested to know the answer to this thank you!

Great news. I know it seems like an odd question, but I use Waze more than any app on any devices that I have.
Waze work great in my galaxy s8 plus...

Daily use of Waze and zero issues.
I use Waze daily while on patrol. I used it on all the previous Android devices I have had and now on the S8+. I have had no issue with the production version.

That's good to hear. I have just got a S8+ and never realised that AMOLED's suffer this as I've only ever had LCD phones.
Do you do anything other than change the car colour as I guess the orange icon to the right of the screen in the app could cause problems.
Do you set it to a certain brightness etc?

I just let it run as is with auto brightness on. I'm in the same boat, this is my first AMOLED phone. I've had it about 3 months now and so far so good.

Here WeGo - can't find it

I did a search, but most of this applied to iOS.
I'm using a Pixel 2 XL with a newly-purchased Gear S3 Frontier Edition (non-LTE), and I am unable to find the HERE WeGo app in the Galaxy Apps store. I'm in Canada.
Any idea on how I can get it?
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
I don't see it listed either. I have a new Frontier (bluetooth) and I'm in the UK.

Same here - can not find and install HERE wego (running Samsung Gear S app on iPhone). Got mine Gear S3 few days ago (seems Polish/Poland version, without LTE).
I'm from Brazil and here the app also disappeared from the store.
Same here! Used the Gear S3 + Here Maps successfully on my S8 for one day and yesterday switched to OnePlus 5T where Here We Go is not listed... Now thinking about ditching the GS3 for a Huawei Watch or something like that... Not reasonable.
Seems it might be limited to Samsung phones only.
I actually ordered a TicWatch E to try out Android Wear as no maps is a deal-breaker for me; especially for a $300 watch

Tried this on my wife's gear 3 and it fails to download.
I somehow managed to download it in past but now can't find it in the search only through my history.
It's strange that the app has this issue.
Screen shot from my wife attached.
Any help would be appreciated as she likes the app from what she has seen on my watch but is frustrated that she can't install it.

Everybody who doesn't have a Samsung Smartphone is disappointed...
300.00 USD watch that is limited to some apps doesn't worth my money...
Wish I could knew it before buying, to change for an Android smartwatch!
Shame on Samsung!

Not a solution but let me share my experience on this.
I live in Saudi currently and my watch is on OXA CSC. I had Here app installed. I went to India on vacation and changed the SIM card in the phone also did a reset of the watch. After this noticed that Here app was not visible in the App Store. I returned to Saudi and changed back to my old SIM. Now I can see the app and installed it again.
So it may be region specific. I have a Nexus 6p.
Same issue here, no solution found yet.
Well.. i had the same issue after resetting my watch. i used to have it installed before so i went into the gear app and then into the samsung galaxy apps-> menu -> my apps -> all.. and there it showed up... Could install it without any problems.
http://apps.samsung.com/gear/appDetail.as?appId=com.here.tizen.herewego[/QUOTE]
It worked well, just opened the link on my OP3 and i can install the app from the galaxy store.
Where did u get the link from? this way seems to be a nice workarround for samsung only apps...
greets
Is this link region specific and I get an error in authorising the purchase

Due to restriction of Samsung, the Here we Go app isn't available for non-samsung phones. @Chainsaw Enduro was very helpful in giving me the wgt file.
Download:
goo.gl/75axzA
See here for installinstruction: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/themes/swimming-apps-samsung-gear-s3-t3750444/post75687360
Big thanks to @Chainsaw Enduro
The only downside so far: the app on the watch can't retrieve Internet via Bluetooth, so it needs wifi (or hotspot) for initializing the route/download the map.
Thanks @halloarno
The instructions on the link didn't work for me. Here is what I needed to do:
1) Download SDB from Samsung at https://developer.tizen.org/ko/deve...nning-and-testing-your-app/sdb?langredirect=1
You will need Java SDK 8
2) Connect watch via wifi with debugging mode enabled
3) Use the following commands via the command line:
sdb connect xxx.xxx.xxx (IP address of watch)
sdb install wego.wgt
4) I kept getting the following error:
* The version of SDB client (2.3.8) and server (2.3.0) are different.
This may cause version compatibility problems.
It is recommended to use SDB server 2.3.8. *
But it still worked

Ubication problem

Good evening,
I am trying to launch a sports app to record the track of a race, a walk, etc.
I have tried 4 or 5, which work well on other smartphones, but they all have the same problem: after a few minutes the ubication is lost, of course, it is enabled.
I also have all these apps out of battery optimization, to prevent them from stopping.
I have contacted the developers of the apps, and they all tell me that they have problems fixing the location in almost all Motorola smartphones.
Is there a problem so that they don't work well for this brand?
Is there one that works well?
Which one do you recommend?
