The 3G version of this watch is coming in the next 2 weeks or so, and I am unable to find anything about whether or not you can use it with a non samsung phone..
I know the "non 3G" version works with most modern Android phones, and I know it will work with my Nexus 6..
My question is, does any one know for certain if I can use the 3G version, when it comes out, with my Nexus 6, or will the 3G version only work with Samsung phones?
I'm going to call Samsung tomorrow and ask, but I trust the folks here on XDA to know alot more than someone on their CS line will
Thanks!
It works just as the Bluetooth version does with compatible other phones.
do you have a link to the owners manual for the 3G model?
thanks
will it be able to connect blue tooth . i am on cricket wireless so not sure if i can add it to my plan
Anyone hear on the tmobile version tmobile hasn't sent the email out or Twitter or anyone from tmo will confirm
supposedly, you can call in today and order it, and stores in my area,(chicagoland) all say they should have them to sell Monday
Finely found a store that had it after 3 stores I got it
I called at least 6 stores, and none had it in suburban chicago; a couple said they should have them Monday, but I played it safe and ordered over the phone from T-Mo
Free over night shipping, and, you get 20 days to decide if you want to return it, vs 14 days when you buy in store..
I can wait one more day, at this point!
Yea messed up my account tho they cancelled my gear s for some reason I didn't want to add the new s2 yet because my gear s is at samsung for repair and didn't know if I wanted to keep the service on the gear s or s2 yet also they still charge u 15 for a sim when there's not even a sim in the damn thing
Works with some voice connection issues on N6P with Verizon.

Even though the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 are considered to be one of the best smartphones on the market, it does not mean they have no problems. In the last few weeks, users have begun to complain about phone call problems. Indicates that sound is lost during the phone call, or the call is completely dropped. Since calling is one of the basic features of a smartphone, it is understandable that users are upset.
The petitioner found that sound was lost for a few seconds during a call. At the same time, the bugs appeared with a fragmentary sound that does not allow talking to the other party and requires the call to end and call again. Additionally, the user complains that the South Korean giant has removed the ability to record calls through third party software. The applicant claims that Samsung did not inform the aforementioned facts and thus deceived its customers.
The operator told the user that the problem is not related to the network but to the device software, and assured the user that Samsung is working on updating the software to solve the problem. The complainant also turned to Samsung itself, who admitted the problem and stated that two updates had been issued to correct the bugs. according to the plaintiff, none of the updates completely solved the problems.
The complainant concluded that the call problems were not due to the software, but due to the incompatibility of the processors used in the facilities and networks in Israel. However, the action does not state how the applicant reached that view.

I wonder if this is just for Exynos?

Nope! I just got off the phone with Samsung Canada bout the same stuff. I bought the S9 Plus (G965W) yesterday and got an update last night. Ever since that update, call reliability and quality has been horrible. Samsung doesn't provide firmware downloads for Canadian models, at least according to their support line. I asked about flashing an older US model firmware for now and was told, that would void my warranty. I can't keep the phone with poor call quality and regularly drops calls! We shall see what their service center says tomorrow. If I don't like it, it's going back to the store I bought it from!

I am pretty disappointed with them also. The phone was fine the first day. After the update to ARC1, I have more than half of my calls dropped from today dropped. The call quality is a very noticeable difference as well. It was great the first day I had it. HD Voice (VoLTE) worked, people sounded crystal clear, and calls maintained LTE. Today, people sounded muffled at times and the call quality at best, sounded like there was no treble or bass to it at all. People sounded flat and bland, including background noise.

Holly crap. I would be pretty irate. I just checked my software version and I am on ARBG. This is the latest for Verizon in the US.
I just hope they dont push whatever it is you got to our phones.
No issues here at all AT&T S9 Plus April patch I'm on ARD3.

Canadian models are usually slow to get updates. I left the service center a message last night. They should call back around 10 this morning, eastern time. A user in another thread also managed to find a link to the previous Canadian firmware. Once that downloads, I can at least force the phone back but I am probably going to try flashing the U1 first, then T-Mobile firmware. If that works, I will leave it with that.
I rooted and updated the modem to ard4 on my s9+. Now it's just awesome no call drops and I could also record audio directly from my phone app. See the screen shots

Gonna take May Patch ARD9 for AT&T S9 Plus is out will update later.

bump for interest (including whether the newer modem software will still block my USB microphone/headphones connected via OTG).
From what I could find about this issue. It seems to only affect the multi-carrier models with generic regional firmware. There is a video on YouTube of a guy that had issues with his S9+ on T-Mobile that he bought from BestBuy but the T-Mobile version worked fine. My Canadian unlocked version (G965W) had issues with 1ARC1. After flashing it to U1 and then to the T-Mobile carrier firmware. Everything is all good.
Call issues
Hi
Same problem for us in Europe too I myself have returned 2 x S9 (both dual sim) and 1 x S9+ (single sim) for the exact same issue. Samsung won't officailly admit the fault and just keep replacing handsets! Some people are on their 7th handset with the same problem. I returned mine and will buy it again once this issue is resolved.

Hi all. I haven't been able to update my phone since I bought it last week. It keeps coming up with system update failed I bought the phone from EE in the UK. I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problem?
Are you trying to do an OTA or local upgrade? , is your bootloader unlocked?, what version are you updating to?
I have tried both local and OTA but no joy. I'm trying to update to 9.5.3. I've spoken to ONEPLUS support but they are as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.
I'm having the exact same issue too. I'm also on EE. Will it be a problem for this update only or all updates going forward?
So I spoke to oneplus support again and this time they gave me a better answer.
As we have the 5G variation of the phone we have to wait for another update as the ones that are getting pushed out now aren't for the 5G variation.
I guess we just have to play the waiting game!
Ahh ok. Thanks for the help mate. Saves me panicking thinking that I have to take my phone back ?? I'll just sit and wait now ?
I have the 5g model from ee and had an update when I first set the phone up.
I am on 9. 5.3
Just waiting for the big update with all the improvements .
I gather the .7 one that's about is just for the standard pro?
Really? I'm still on 9.5.1 and I'm unable to update to 9.5.3. Something weird going on!
Long story short, I had Note 9/GW2A, upgraded to S22 ultra/GW4 classic; Tmobile says the GW4 can't be activated because it isn't compatible. I told them to try different plans, try the standalone plan - they never confirmed if they did try any of those. They just said it isn't recognized on their network and I had to return it to Samsung and buy in the store. I told them it is the EXACT same hardware that if it's a firmware issue, they need to provide me the firmware. Samsung confirmed it is the same hardware. Their IT is "looking" into it now; response in 48-72 hours.
Has anybody else here had the same issue? I've read on reddit some solutions, namely it goes down to the plan they are trying to activate, but yes, also GW4 only works with Samsung phones, not an issue here obviously.
?
Model name?
Example...
SM-R875F
or SM-R875UUUUU
Or you are have SM-R875N
Or ?
Best Regards
I bought my watch (SM-R895U) at best buy and had absolutely no issues activating with T-Mobile

I bought mine on Amazon and activating with T-Mobile was easy. I activated the LTE through the wear app and I am using the original Asus ROG phone.
I have a GW4 and I'm on TMobile. LTE definitely works
Hi, I purchased a refurbished ATT version of this watch on Ebay and found a few issues. I'm in Canada, so I'm thinking it has to do with region locking.
1. The software update keeps repeating, it installs but then constantly says an update is available and installs again and again every few minutes. I have disabled it for now.
2. When installing the watch faces in the Wearable App on my S22, its seems to freeze alot, mostly on the health faces.
3. The ECG and Blood Oxygen app don't connect to the phone, saying it's not available in the region or no compatible devices found.
Otherwise, everything else seems to work, other health apps, along with Google Assistant, Google Pay.
I'm thinking of returning this watch, but it concerns me that unless I'm buying new and directly from Samsung that I might be getting a non-Canadian variant and thus face these problems as well. Can anyone share any insight? Much Thanks.
