EE WiFi Calling

Is there anyone that is on EE with the S6 and uses WiFi calling?
I've been using it for almost a week now and I'm finding it hit and miss, the symbol comes and goes and some texts don't send even though I'm apparently connected via WiFi calling....my broadband is stable so I know that's not the cause.
Thanks

There's issues on the 5.0.2 firmware with it, they've apparently released 5.1.1 which fixes this, but no one seems to be able to download it...

Well great news if that's the case, I've had to turn WiFi calling off because of the issues I've been facing.

Same, it should be with everyone by the end of the week, but don't hold me to that, as we all know how unreliable EE can be...

Well I've been waiting long enough so a few more days will not make much difference.

Spoke to someone today who said they were doing 10k IMEIs per day, which works out at just over 7 days for the amount of branded EE S6/Edges they have. But again, EE are pretty crap at communication / rolling things out so don't hold me to it.

Ooh didn't know it was available now, though will prefer OTA update. Thanks for the feedback.

It went live yesterday after EE and Samsung cracked there heads together I only did the smart switch due to impatience and the clicking noise was irritating ☺

Maverick I'd suggest hooking your S6 up to your PC with smart switch and upgrading, that's what I did and it went perfectly

You can update via SS? I thought it did a wipe.

Nope when you first connect it up it'll tell you if there's an update

Hooray! ?

Gear s2 and iPhone - remarks

I recently bought a Samsung Gear S2 classic.
It connects to iPhone via bluetooth without any app, so here is my experience:
- Notifications work, (the ones from the notification center), however you cannot act on them, it is just a notification viewer. You can read the message that comes or e-mail or FB message, however you cannot answer them.
- No access to any other apps/watch faces beside the stock ones that are on the watch already
- Wifi network connection is limited to open networks only :/ (secured networks are not visible, why?) however range of the wifi signal sensitivity is awesome (I pick up a printer Wifi signal of my neighbour 3 floors up)
- Battery : At 8h I still have 50% (moderate use, loads of notifications, Wifi off, HR sensor frequent, Brightness 8, Ambient on)
- World clock is totally off, I mean the times are not right. I don't know why.
I read rumours that iOS appstore will get a Gear app by the end of this year, so support is on the way
I am an Apple fan (iphone, ipad, imac, macbook and so on) and I have to say... Gear S2 is going to rock the smartwatch boat a looooot!
The quality you get for the money is just amazing.
Greetings from Belgium!

Hi I have an iphone, and the gear s2 3g pairs to it, but I don't see any notifications coming through (not sure how that would work, because I haven't selected which notifications I would want to send to the watch the way i do on my android phone (Note 4)). Are there any settings you had to change to enable this functionality?
Thank you!

Notifications that are in the notification center are working and they get through to the watch.
There is no app yet, I just connected it via bluetooth.
After reset, the secured WiFi networks are discoverable (some of them at least).
Overall, after 1 day of usage, I got 15h of battery. Now I am testing the battery with no HR sensor and Brightness 5.
I will post results soon!

I have a samsung phone that my gear s2 is connected to. I also have an iPhone for work. Do you think I could connect both phones at the same time? Lol.... I just got the watch and it is charging, so I can't try it.

I'm affraid that isn't possible, since gear s2 only connected to ios when they do a reset (never pair and update with galaxy appmanager on android).

What about the gear app manager for iOS ? Still working on it?

I think gear app manager still on progress, rumours say that will be available on early 2016, can't wait this to happen LoL.

Yes, They are still working on the app. Hopefully it will get out soon.
The latest firmware update renders gear s2 unusable with iPhones.
After the update the gear s2 is not visible in the bluetooth devices on the iPhone ;|

Woow...realy?
Thats a good info for me, i just considering to update my firmware, because i'm experiencing always on mode is not always on, sometimes its totally turn off the display, i think that's because the firmware, but then i do a research on this forum, thats a common problem

Just unpacked my amazon-delivered gear s2.
As an iphone 6 owner I'm very happy that it does communicate with the phone,though indeed only readable notifications.
Hope the app arrives soon.

Dont update your Gear S2 yet
Please don't update the firmware yet.
So i have both android and iphone. I was trying to get the android experience with gear s2, i tried to update the latest firmware.
After that, i switch back to my iphone which i prefer to use. The result is i can't detect the gear S2 on my bluetooth.
So... Don't try to update the firmware yet. It really sad :crying:

@hns_hnz: could you share more information?
what is exactly Gear S2 model? Model of your Iphone?
thanks

which Iphone do you use? and exactly your gear s2 version also. I'm update in gear s2 R730 is normal.

I can confirm this, as soon as I paired it with my android device, the S2 is unusable with Iphone...well after I used Gear Manager to update it.
Firmware update is fine, you just have to not activate it through the Manager on an Android device otherwise it's gone.

Yuo i think, it's because the gear s2 is paired with android devices, if you want to connect to your iphone again, you have to do a reset factory from gear s2, is that correct?

I'm afraid not. I bought the watch yesterday and was not warned that iphone users cannot update the software yet. I did a factory reset but my iphone 6 still couldn't detect the watch as it could before the update. ):

I have the same problem. I am using Iphone 6. I used the gear manager on my other phone (android) to update the gear s2 to the newest software version R732XXUU2BOKK. Hope this is helpful.

Factory reset doesn't do anything unfortunately. So mke sure u do not connect the watch using Samsung Manager on any android phone.
Using the watch to update firmware seems to be fine (using the built in wifi).

I see, so the key is, do not upgrade firmware via android gear manager apps, or you'll never get paired to the iphone anymore
But i'm doing the upgrade OTA via the device itself, and there's no update available..it says my device already have the newest firmware version, or maybe samsung OTA update has some kind of country limitation? since I'm in Indonesia?

So I just got an update on my Gear S2, SM-R720. I believe this is the one that brings features from the S3?

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.

R760 Mini update received

Received following update today.

Improves battery usage: Should have been implemented on the initial release. Samsung really dropped the ball. We should all get a new Gear S3. Wait!! I DID!!! Only took 3 returns, 3 different repair center results. Only one of the returns was battery related. All were result of heart-rate-monitor issues.
Received new watch from sammy on December 13th with tizen 2.3.2.1. That tells me sammy had no confidence in tizen 3 up to 7 days ago (adj for shipping).
I won't be updating to the full tizen 3 anytime soon. Ain't going through that battery crap again.

Where are you from? I heard that only Canadian Gear S3 are allowed to receive this update yet. Tks.

Well, I took my S3 watch off the charger this morning with battery at 100% and performed this small update right then. When it was done with the update, the battery was then 56%. Interesting... Now I hope there's enough time to charge it back up to 100% before I leave for work this morning. Hum...
Update: In the few minutes time it took me to type up the reply above, my S3 watch is now showing 72% after just a few minutes on the charger. Hum...

When checking for update (tried more than ones and more than one day), I get notification:
"Unable to update the software. A network or server error occured. Try again later".
Watch is connected to network. Tried also another network. But same result.
Checking if watch makes a good network connenction: I can install watchfaces etc. So this is not the problem.
Anybody any idea? Someting wrong with de Samsung server?

I received that a few times. Maybe it's something to do with them updating their servers with the new Tizen 3 they're releasing now for the people still on Tizen 2. I'd give it a few days if it keeps up.

For anyone wondering how battery life is after the mini update, it has been absolutely amszing. Any questions just ask away friends.

I did the battery fix update two days ago. With AOD on, my battery is draining fast. Did a reset 1.5 hours ago, and the watch is at 85%. I was getting the same drain before my reset.
KingVekxon, is your AOD on?

Not at all, no need for an AOD. Especially when I have my phone on my person so much and I'd rather just press the button on my watch, if I don't have my phone. No need to waste battery unnecessarily ya know?

Go to Playstore ON Watch. You will find an update for "Android Wear", and it update the watch to 2.8

No update yet in Sydney Australia :crying:

Just to let you know guys... This isn't the Oreo update. This is just a minor update that just seems to take advantage of amoled screens. After the update my watch is still running 7.1.1

so i am in Germany, and still not received the 2.8 update.
i searched for it in Play Store .. nothing (watch & phone).
I have searched for it on "apkmirror" found it, installed it on the phone.
so far so good....but the Watch wont update to the 2.8 Version...I don't understand.

Yeah, it's somehow annoying, considering all the hype and still Google rolls it out fast as a giant snail, I mean I understand that not everyone can receive it the same time but it was announced 5 days ago and there're still not to much wearables around, one might think that Google easily provides this update in a short period of time...
TL;DR
Yup, no AW 2.8 update in Germany
- store shows only AW 2.7
Edit:
For everyone who still hasn't got the AW 2.8 update (like me in Germany) just download the apk for the watch from here:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...id-wear-2-8-0-182596874-android-apk-download/
And use "adb install -r" this will update the app without losing your settings worked just fine - the apk for the phone can be found here...
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...-182413461-gms-android-apk-download/download/

Finally, just received 2.8. It automatically downloaded on to my HW2 without me even noticing. Sydney Australia has now caught up with the rest of the world :laugh:

I can confirm that Android Wear 2.8.0.183 came up on my phone and watch today, Just downloaded and the black theme is great!
