I just updated to the new ota update on my note 4 and now the gear s wont connect using bt unless i force it. It stays connected throught wifi or data network. Looks like samsumg may need to send out an update to fix this. Just a heads up for other att users.
Is that an update on your Note4 or Gear S?
It was the new updated for the ATT note 4. I can connect to bt but only if I manually tell it to reconnect then it will do it. Before it would always just auto connect using BT. I hope samsung fixes this soon.

AT&T probably won't let it. New update has to go through the same certification process by AT&T.
I also have the Gear S and an ATT Note 4. Applied the update yesterday that you are talking about to the phone and I have had zero issues with the Gear S staying connected. Maybe your phone or watch needs to be factory reset and re-setup? This doesn't seem to be a common problem though, haven't seen any other threads yet in regards to this, and like I said I haven't had any problems whatsoever with it.
I might just have to do that. I just got the update and after my first restart, it would not auto connect back to bt. I restarted both devices again and it did the same thing. I will do a hard reset tonight after work.
Is there a version number associates with this update. I spent all yesterday working on other issues with my Gear S and bluetooth connections.

I had to reinstall gear manager, it would show the clock faces.

Hey guys, (Did extensive search before posting this)
Whenever I get a MMS the messages show a download button but will not download. I have tried turning wifi on and off, turning mobile data on and off, rebooting, using stock app and Go SMS and nothing is working. I looked in APN settings but do not know if they are right or not.
The issue just started recently, I have had the phone about a week and they seemed to work at first.
Please help,
This is driving me crazy and is frankly unacceptable in 2012. I saw some threads about old Galaxys having this issue.
You have to be on mobile data without wifi for them to download.

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried turning wi fi off, which in turn reverts to mobile data and still no success. Could it be that I also use a micro cell? My carrier service is literally the worst possible at my house without the micro cell. This is quite unfortunate if so.
I think wifi has to be off when it is initially coming through and yes, a micro cell will do it. Is it a voice micro cell or data?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Its a voice micro cell, but it also transmits a 3G signal. Not sure of the speed since I always use wi fi.
This is boggling my mind. Are you telling me that it is not possible to recieve a freaking MMS message created in 1982 (sarcastic) on a 2012 LTE device if I am in a wifi network. WTH. That is crazy to me.
So are these images gone or do I need to turn off wifi and turn off the micro cell to download?
Thanks for your help btw.
So I disconnected wifi and disconnected my microcell and clicked download on Go SMS and nothing, error message. Pulled up the stock SMS app and clicked download and after a half minute or so the picture appears. The picture then also shows in Go SMS.
I guess the solution is no MMS while at home which is a bit frustrating coming from another device/platform where this problem would not occur.
Thanks again.
I have the international GS3 on AT&T. My phone automatically downloads MMS if only mobile data is on or both wifi & mobile data are on. I believe it is your microcell causing your disruption OP.
Sorry, my international S3 also only downloads MMS if only mobile data is on.. I have yet to see it auto download when Wi-Fi was on. I would say it could be the microcell in this case though.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
When mms comes in the WiFi should temporarily shut off and the radio picks up 3 or 4g in order to download it. U honestly won't notice any seperation. If u honestly can't receive them, check your apn settings
Sent from my vivow using Tapatalk 2
You are getting mms when you are away from your home/microcell, correct?
hmm, i just noticed that mine has been doing this lately too. MMS won't download unless I turn off wi-fi. I'm on t-mobile
hey guys. I just got my gs3 two days ago. love it. when I got it, I downloaded all my apps over WiFi. worked perfectly. today I tried downloading an app over 3g and it just won't download. it just sits there with the rolling bars but the download never starts. it's nearly 12hrs so I guess it's not a Google problem plus downloading over WiFi works.
I cleared data and cache for the play store, switched off my phone a couple of times and still nothing.
everything is stock and not even rooted yet.
took forever to download all my apps (slow WiFi) so I want to leave factory reset as a last resort
is there anything else I can do
Are your network speeds fast in your area since the S3 is a 4G phone and you said 3G

I am on 3G. network speeds are decent around 3 mbps. had no problems whatsoever on my sgs1 even downloading while on edge.
browsing the internet and even browsing the play store is fast, it's just that it does not want to initialize downloading from there.
after a while the phone says it could not download due to an error 495

The S3 GT-i9300 is not a 4G phone.
Yes it is
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
Just because your provider may market Hspa+ (which is only an upgrado of Hspa, which is considered an extension to 3g and is often called 3.5G) as 4G does not make the device 4g. Wimax and Lte are both candidates for 4g (afaik there no official 4g) but Lte has won that war already.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
please stay on topic guys. it's really irritating that I can't download or update anything over 3G on the play store.
I cleared play store data and cache as well as download managers data and cache
I rebooted a few times
did a battery pull, as well as a SIM card pull to clean it's contacts
removed my sd card
signed out of gtalk and signed in again (Google support page mentioned this)
Nothing helps. my galaxy s1 can download over 3G so why can't this one do it.
like I said before, I can download over WiFi
please help me. I can't be the only one who has experienced this
Ohh ok

Might be a dumb question but do you have any data conservation apps installed? Sometimes those mess with those things.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It's happen many times with me on 3G...
What I did to download?
Opend store start downloading a application...
W8 application didn't download yet
It is just showing the progress bar trying to download no data receiving
I leave it as it was ... Didn't wipe anything and just restart my phone
And bang now download starts...
Short note :- just start a download and after few seconds if no data receiving restart your phone
Check if it works for uh

Hey guys, thanks for all the advice.
I installed the SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 TOOLKIT and rooted my phone. Don't know why, but it started working after that. I just rooted and did nothing else.
Hopefully it stays this way

I finally (after much trial, error and waiting) have figured out the S-Voice not talking back resolution. If you want to make your S-Voice app talk back to you instead of just receiving a response, simply download SVOX Classic TTS (text to speech.) It will replace the original TTS out that Samsung had set up for S-Voice and replaces it with one of over 40 cool voices you can chose from. Then, just go to settings/language and input/text-to-speech output, and select SVOX Classic TTS. It's that easy! Then open up s-voice after downloading your language/voice type and you're ready for some good convo with S-Voice. Hope this helps!!!! Comment and let me know if it did since I'm pretty new with posting comments here.

I don't have auto, just trying to help with usual stuff. It sounds like an issue with the auto, not the phones. I'd maybe hard reset the auto if you can.

Fyi, I have this same issue on my T-Mo Note 3, I have tried multiple roms on the phone, and I have tried 6 other phones!!! I think the issue lies in the cars driver support for different devices.
The only phone I was able to get to work was an old Motorola Droid... Super obscure.
Friend of mine had the same issue updated the firmware on the radio fixed it
Accidentally set up email link for Opera browser only, resetting phone did not work, via Sony Customer support. Did a full reset, in which NFC no longer works for Bluetooth, to connect Sony MDR-10RBT and SRS -BTX500.
Both were working normally BEFORE reset. PCC repair was useless, as is Sony Support.
What is EXTREMELY STRANGE is my DSC-QX10 connected via NFC WITHOUT A PROBLEM, and started PMM app automatically.
Also, had to pair speaker ? manually via Bluetooth, yet cannot do the same with headphones. Both are within close proximity of my mobile phone. When using NFC, phone does vibrate, and tone does sound, yet CANNOT pair Bluetooth devices via NFC.
Right now I'm at my wits end, and would appreciate any help, and support, in this matter.

Finally paired ? headphones with XZU, but I'm still Pissed had to do this manually, as I used to connect via NFC without a problem, until the full reset.
Sony Non-Support is about as useful as ??

Sounds like a glitch. Shouldn't be a problem unless it happens often. If it does, do a factory reset, which is the same as formatting your computer, which you should also do like once a year. It's perfectly normal that things start glitching and gets buggy the more you use it and the more crap you install. Also, if you didn't do a factory reset after updating to the latest Android version, you have yourself to blame. Always do a reset after jumping between OS-bases (4.0-4.1-4.3-4.4-5.0-5.1-6.0).
This occurred AFTER I did a complete factory reset.
It might have taken AFTER powering off my mobile phone.
Not sure, as this is still a mystery to me. As well as NFC working to pair with QX-10, yet unable to with other Bluetooth devices!!

Huh, then I'm not sure what it is. Could be the NFC chip acting up or something. Don't know, but if it's working now, good.
