General [Australia] Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Thread - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Ordered mine on 10th Sep 2021 and estimated shipping date was 14th Oct 2021. But got an email today that they have shipped the Watch. Excited!
Ordered Galaxy Watch4 Classic LTE (46mm) - Black.

Ordered mine from HN on the 2nd of October and arrived today.
Galaxy Watch 4 Classic LTE (46mm) - Silver
Watch Band (Hybrid) - Navy
Upgrading from the Gear S3 Frontier.
Annoyed that like the phones, the firmware is a revision behind the latest.

New firmware rolled out yesterday for us in Oz.
BUI6.

FOR MODEL 895F CLASSIC 46MM LTE
R895FXXU1BUI6/R895FOLB1BUI6/R895FXXU1BUI6
Firmware BUI6 download link : http://secazgb-fota-dn.samsungdm.com:80/firmware/XSA/SM-R895F/91fa34364bb84884a09ca9c6cad8cbf2.bin

I initially thought Wear OS will have an advantage over Tizen OS. But so far, I really miss some of the minor details which I really like from Tizen OS. Battery really sucks!

Agreed. Given bootloader is unlockable. Tizen OS can be ported but I am no developer

Updated to BUI6 but alas, we are still two releases behind. CUIE and CUJ2 are both out in the wild.
Edit:
I've experienced failed tracking events on this release (activity recording starts but at the end, no data saved) and garbled audio when using the watch to make/receive calls via BT connection to my S21 ULTRA - Don't have the eSIM set up yet).

Worth upgrading from Galaxy Gear?

I can get the Gear 2 Neo for $100 CAD BNIB. Is it worth it to upgrade from the original Gear? I liked it very well, and I still use it to this day. But I find the watch to be somewhat uncomfortable.
The neo pretty much fixes all the issues I've been having. What do you guys think? I could probably sell the original Gear for $80.

IMHO, the watch is perfect for what it does for me.
I use it to:
Tell time (obviously).
As an alarm to not wake my wife up in the morning.
Receive Text notifications, read them 50% of the time, reply to them about 10% of the time.
Receive Email notifications, read them about 20% of the time.
Sleep Tracking (mainly just for the do-not-disturb functionality so I don't receive message notifications at night).
I was able to get mine off of the AT&T accessories deal for 25% off (came to $149 USD). For $92 USD (current), that is a STEAL!! I'd buy another one for that price! =-D
I agree with the user above but coming from a Gear rooted and running Null rom the Gear beats the Gear 2.
I am happy with waterproof since I jog in rain and all kind of conditions and I can change the band for more dress fashion...
I hate the battery life I get 1 day off stock Gear 2, I hate no apps for it, I hate RunKeeper is not going to make a version for the Gear2/Neo, it still needs more for the serious users. With the Gear I could load all kinds of apps even phone apps I know I am not the norm but if the Gear was waterproof I would not need the Gear 2...but the Gear lacks a lot from what I came from...
Now if your more like the above user...you will be happy and pleased but I still hate the battery life on the Gear 2

Samsung Gear S2 Hands-on Video - Tizen Experts

Hi,
Here is a Hands-On video going through the User Interface (UI) of the upcoming Gear S2, which should be released next month. The smooth UI is a definite killer:

Who is Interested in getting one?
I already got a Classic ordered. Hopefully it gets delivered Friday or I will expect it Monday at the latest. I may end up doing an unboxing video if it really doesn't get released this week in the West.

Great news. Where did you order it from ?
It was a preorder promotion in Korea through a mobile network provider named KT. A couple weeks ago Samsung in Korea sold 1000 preorders through their website and they also gave 500 units each to a couple network providers. It was a good deal I got, they threw in some Sennheiser earbuds and an additional charger for the S2 for free.

Preorder Thread

Ordered mine in store today at Tmobile in titanium silver at 10am pst. Along with a gold and black version for my girl and her sister. Seems tmobile is giving us free overnight shipping. Hope we get the device early like last year
I'll update this thread with my shipping status and or any other users who show they're device is being delivered early.
Tmobile says devices will ship and or arrive on 3/1
Sprint says devices will ship on 3/7
ATT says devices will ship on or by 3/8
Verizon says devices will ship on 3/11 and by 3/31 (need more confirmations)
Vodaphone says devices might ship out on 3/8
Ordered mine via ATT's website (which is acting horrible right now...) at 1am. Says shipping on March 7th and the warehouse (Fort Worth) is only 4 hours from my place. I'm guessing depending on what time of day they ship, I'll get it by 8th or 9th.
+1 Ordered S7 Edge via Samsung.com
S7 Edge from Samsung.com also.
Hello guys!
I preordered my future S7 edge on orange.ro, since I`m their client...
It comes with Gear VR and an external battery of 2000mAh at a total price of 788 euros. Delivery begins on March the 8th. Can`t wait...
S7 Edge from o2, no upfront cost £42 a month and free 149.99 headphones & get it on 8th March (hopefully)
Verizon
Best Buy Blk Edge $779 full price with the Gear and 64gb card. (no use for the gear and will probably try to sell it for cheap. Have to get a "matte" sticker for the glossy finger print prone back though. Wish they hadn't done that again although the metal ones in Best Buy showed even worse. Definitely not going to cover up this beauty with any sort of case.
Just preordered my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (935T). Hopefully this T-Mobile phone will get rooted quick. I'm done with AT&T phones.... paid outright, and will unlock through T-Mobile....
+1 GS7 Edge via Tmobile comes with 1 year of netflix and the gear VR
Ordered the Titanium Silver from TMO online, so we will see when it arrives.
Preordered a silver and a gold one with AT&T on the 22nd, they canceled my order on the 23rd because they couldn't verify my identity. Turns out it's because I chose a different shipping address than my billing address. So I preordered one with Sam's club for the $100 gift card and one with Target for the $100 gift card.
I ordered the S7 Edge with Gear VR. and it will arrive on 3rd march

From where?
Verizon, pre ordered silver on the 23rd. Still deciding whether to get the free gear s2 to replace my og 360, or the free gear vr to replace my star wars cardboard.
Pre-ordered from carphone warehouse UK, should have it one 8 March as they have 3 day exclusive, getting gear vr free.
Silver S7 Edge from TMO... order still shows as 'processing' with no information on the page. Guessing they will update that by the end of the week.
Got my free VR already from Sprint, ordered on the 23rd. According to the email it was supposed to ship on the 11th, so hopefully I get my S7 Edge nice and early.

Gear S3 availability and shipping

To discuss everything related to availability news, shipping and delivery information.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
awww. I saw this stub and thought there might already be discussion of pricing/availability. Ill keep holding my breath
also Amazon.de has it listed https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-front...e=UTF8&qid=1474298426&sr=1-1&keywords=gear+s3 for the currently price 399,99€ but this is the first price so I think it will be at ca 350€ or lower (aaaand I hope it )
Samsung's website now allows preorders for the classic and frontier versions. For those in the US, like myself, it only shows AT&T's frontier LTE version, no other carriers are listed at this time but the Bluetooth models are still listed.
$349 for Bluetooth and $399 for LTE
Preorder on samsung.de incl. second strap for 399 €, delivery at 18. November.

Gear S3 Frontier stuck in retail mode.

Can I flash a firmware to get it out of retail mode?

Are you sure you don't have a dummy display version. I was talking to a Samsung rep at best buy the other day and he told me the display watches are not full watches, but just dummy versions that play a video due to theft,
