Hello wise people!
I'm having a strange issue with my almost 2 year old gear s3 classic.
It started 5th of January, where someone asked what time it was and my watch was several hours ahead, and the date was 2 years off.
It had happened 5 times since, it can be 1 hour or 20 hours ahead/behind, and the date can be a couple of days off or several years...
The watch is connected via bluetooth, and wifi on auto, so it shouldnt change the time/date since my phone is correct.
It's fixed by turning the watch off and on again, i also tried restoring it to factory but didn't help.
It's paired with and IPhone X btw.
Is there anything i can try? Or should i sent it in on warranty? (warranty runs out in march)
No one?

Hello, I have the AT&T Gear S2 SM-R730A with the recent update that just came out yesterday. Anyways, i have been using it at work and I have to leave my phone in my locker so the watch isnt connected via Bluetooth. It will last only 5 hours this way and this is with a few texts and emails and no calls. I tried shutting Bluetooth off and still same drain. I also shut off gps still same. Wifi has never been on and neither has NFC so its not that. Any suggestions?

Something after the update killed my battery overnight (less than 4hrs). I decided to quickly do a hard reset before going to work in an attempt to figure out the issue. Additionally, it’s overheating on both chargers I have. I removed a few apps & watch faces I haven’t used since buying the watch. Battery life is back on par. I’ll probably attempt another hard reset this evening & not rush it.

Im packing this piece of garbage up and selling it. I had for a week and the battery life is horrible.
Another HD reset and better selection of notifications cleared the battery drain and over heating.
I shouldn't have to deal with all this for the price you pay for a watch. I'm paid for it out right I've only had it for 4 days I'm taking it back and buying the LG Google watch
hi can any one point me in the right direction im using the gear 2 with my samsung note 4 running 6.0.1 mm
ok first things first i have all the important notifications on so in essence everything's works the way it set up but my question is this
after a few day let say 3 day's of the gear2 powered on it just stops getting the notifications like no messages nothing just the time but miss calls, messages, calls nothing now in order for me to fix this i have to restart my gear 2 but it never did this in 2 years when my note 4 ran on kit-Kat or lollipop i never had to restart my gear 2 and i have the latest gear manager installed from scratch no luck my gear 2 last about 3 to 4 days from 1 charge but every day i must restart it at least once to prevent this is there any reason why this is happening
PROBLEM FIXED -Bluetooth on gears2 /note 5 keeps disconnecting
Hi guys,i'm new to this forum. Came across it a few days ago when i needed assistance. I have been wearing my gear s2 classic and note 5 for approx. a year now . As of last week it kept disconnecting and connecting every five minutes which became really frustrating. I was missing important calls and message as my phone is on silent and gear on vibrate mode. After trying numerous attempts of clearing the Bluetooth cache and even hard reset watch and phone twice . It still did the same. I contacted my buddy over at Samsung headquaters is South africa to confirm my warranty date on my note 5. Thats how far i was heading, to return the headset for a new one. Luckily my warranty expires in October 2017. He then advised me the following
1) Check gear software updated - My gear was updated.
2)Check phone software updated- My phone was not updated.
So i got down to doing the update, size was around 1.4 GB
A fast WiFi connection will take approx. 15 minutes.
Had this done 2 days ago
Problem solved :good:
Phone looks and feel way better with the updated software and Gear has not disconnected since then.
Hope this helps.

Ok, given an S3 Frontier as a gift. Was fun to fiddle with. The previous owner had no issues. I immediately paired, updated etc.
I've had so many problems. Some Days the watch lasts for 2-3 days, but 95% of the time it'll be dead within anywhere from 5 to 8 or 9 hours. I've turned off all tracking, and Hr settings etc, tried battery saving mode and to no avail, I cannot sort out the battery drain problem. Updates and resets. Nothing works.
I have also noticed the storage on the watch fills itself up even though I don't install anything on the device at all. I've also noticed on some occasions after I've reset the watch to try and fix my battery drain, that the galaxy watch up won't even pair with the device and I'll end up having to uninstall and reinstall the app on my phone to do it again.
I've noticed the watch pairs with my phone fine but once the storage mysteriously fills up I find that trying to use the app with the watch in any way is pointless.
I've gone through threads upon threads on official forums and here etc and I still can't figure it out.
I've sent through a service request, I've told them I don't have proof of purchase due to it being a gift. I'll see how I go?
For my sons, I made 3 watch faces in GWD some time ago. They are sports related. All was well till a few months ago when one of the watch faces disappeared. Till date, I have re installed it 3 times, no problem installing it but it will disappear again in 1 or 2 weeks. It happens to just this particular face. The other 2 are fine on watch (gear s3) and phone (galaxy s8).
Can anyone think of a possible reason for this?
Best regards,
