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.
Thanks.
Here I wrote something...

Thanks, I have seen thy thread.
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.
I am really excited for this watch (even though I have the S3 Frontier)
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.

Ooh, lucky you... Very interested to hear your opinions when you have it. Please let me know what you think of the screen and also the speaker quantity.
Enjoy!

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.
Oh, I thought nobody received the "new" watch...

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.

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.

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.

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.
I have the classic non-4g version of the Gear S2 (SM-R732) and I'm still on R732XXU2BPA4. I have been seeing news and posts about updates (R732XXU2CPB7 and R732XXU2CPC5) for the past month, but still have yet to receive either update. I chatted with Samsung and they told me my serial is invalid (despite buying the watch directly from them). So I'm curious, is there something wrong with my watch or have these updates not rolled out to everyone yet?
I also have original classic non-4g and am still on BPA4 as well. I live in the U.S. In fact I only got this update some weeks ago.

I received the R732XXU2CPC5 update this morning
Just got R732XXU2CPC5 here in Northeastern US (original classic, non-3g/4g).
Same here! Thanks for the updates.
Wow. Awesome. It enabled Samsung Pay, said absolutely no one.
My Galaxy Apps app just updated too (new interface, no new content akaik). Let's hope that all these updates are about more than tweaks (e.g., airplane mode), and are laying the foundation for some bigger additions, like Samsung Pay or iOS compatibility.
Someone should do a poll: when do you think Samsung Pay for the Gear S2 will come out? In two weeks? In December, 2016? Or will they decide it's too hard and give up, i.e., never?

Didn't the T-Mobile version just get an update that said something about Samsung Pay? I don't think it was officially enabled, but I suspect Samsung put the update on the watch in place and they just have to unlock it via the phone app now?
I swear the update for my s2 sport at&t 3g just got an update like 2 weeks ago that said samsung pay was part of the update? Still nothing on watch about samsung pay and neither in pay settings on phone.
Mine was updated to r720xxu2cpc5 yesterday. I don't know why mine begins with 720 instead of 730. And after the update my gear s2 isn't even lasting a day. I charged it full in the morning and at 6pm battery was dead. I usually only leave bluetooth on, turning off the wifi. I hope they'll fix it soon. Or maybe my watch has hardware issue?

Yours begin with 720 instead of 730 because you have the Bluetooth version of the watch instead of the 3g/4g version

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.
This video says it all. 100% spot on.

More a "tour" than a review. There are two kinds of testing, objective and subjective. The latter is more opinion which that video is. I want to see how S-835 and Exynos 8955 compare to each other and their predecessors, how the new Mali and Adreno GPU's stack up, how the new camera's compare to their predecessors and others on the market, battery life and charging time, and brightness and energy use of the new displays. GSMArena, Anandtech, and Notebookcheck are the best at those types of objective tests and they use the same battery of tests consistently across all the devices they test.
Here's Notebookcheck's early hands-on...

Or you wait three days from when you would have received your pre-order and go in to a T-Mobile store and pick it up there. The pre-order frenzy in the T-Mobile thread is farcical. In two weeks anyone (in the U.S.) who wants a S8 can have one. The amount of energy and time being consumed by some people to get the phone a couple of days ahead of launch seems kind of odd. The irony is, at least with the Note7, AT&T'rs got their phones via FedEx before 95% of T-Mobile'rs got theirs via UPS. And the latter had tracking numbers days earlier. To each their own.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.
Sorry but it's not a great review. The amateurishness of this guy is evident when he says that the samsung chip is even better than Apple's A10 fusion chip. Also adds a sardonic "sorry apple fans"
Obviously this guy is a novice. Because any reputable You tuber knows and as seen in many videos,the iphone 7 plus wipes the floor with Samsung Galaxy S8. He sounds like a very obvious paid reviewer for Samsung.
Don't get me wrong. I have preordered the S8+. But let's be real here. In terms of sheer performance and optimization, no one can touch the iphones.

Did they say how long it would take for them to re charge your card? I see people placing orders today and have already been charged and also have shipping labels.

i gave up on trying hahah i just ordered from samsung with the bundle
Hello Everyone,
Hope you all are safe and doing well. I purchased note 20 ultra from freedom booth in Canada and i have it for about 2 weeks now. I was little late to contact samsung regarding wired earphones so today i finally contacted Samsung official live chat here in canada to request a free pair and the agent told me that here in canada, samsung does not have that promotion for note 20 users. I am attaching a screenshot if anyone wants to see the conversation. So my question is is there anybody here from canada who actually got the akg tuned earphones for free shipped them somehow? If yes how did you guys contacted them?
P.S - i have tried calling 1800-SAMSUNG but they had me on hold for almost half an hour so i ended the call

Thanks for posting this, I posted this information over a week ago in the US thread as well to try and let Canadians know
We in Canada are once again an afterthought for samsung....its getting tiresome thats for sure especially after dropping more than 2k on a device. We didnt even get rhe white version here in Canada either
We expect the same customer experience here as the US gets samsung....pull your head out of your ass and get with the program
Lol, too much hassle for something that won't be used. Wired earphones? No thanks.
I know its not much, but I agree with Force. I'm in US but it should be the same across the board.

I like wired earphones. I have Sony WF-1000MX3 and it runs out of juice pretty easily and having a backup wired pair is a bliss on those times and it's not just why would i hassle for 30$ earphones? It's just when you buy a 2000$ phone you expect few things and the reason why i have always preffered/liked android , especially samsung is because they have always provided basic accessories. If samsung follows apple in what should go in the box, expect just a device in the next note box.
