Hey experts, thinking of getting a gear s instead of a gear 2,
I have a sprint note edge as my primary phone, att as my work phone. Can i get an att watch and get texts via Bluetooth from my sprint phone? Maybe use go sms or textra?
Thanks
I'm no expert but I don't think it matters which carrier as long as the phone and watch are bluetooth or remotely connected also u must use the stock samsung texting app to properly have it paired
I have a gear 2, fits it basically act the same? It works fine with textra
Remember its not android

My gear 2 says the same thing, i hit ok, and still get my textras.
So, in short, i can get any carrier model of this S and just use it on BT like the gear 2? Ignore the data and phone functions?
Im considering just going to the fit, i really just want text call and email notifications

As stated. I am using anti theft software that forces my phone to switch on wifi and GPS but as soon as it does I get that message telling me something is using my GPS etc. This looks suspicious to a potential thief in my opinion so I want to know if there was anyway at all I could remove or disable this pop up

Well. I have found out that Cerberus somehow disables this message shortly after it is displayed. However I prefer to use PhoneLocator Pro and that is the problem app for me. I contacted the developer and this is the reply
Hello !
This issue is because of your custom ROM you are running.
This is not happening in all the ROM's and you should ask developers of this rom how this issue can be fixed - maybe there is a way to disable this.
I will document myself on this, but I don't know if this can be fixed - even if you are saying that Cerberus doesn't have this behavior . Cereberus might be using a hack to turn on the GPS, a hack which I don't want to use cause Google is watching and these things can ban your app from the Play store.
Switch to Avast.
You can remotely lock the phone, sound an alarm, send text, forward calls, forward text, wipe phone info, gps track etc.... all through text commands. You also have the added benefit of anti-virus and firewall protection.
Best of all..... It's FREE.

I have that installed as well, it isn't as feature rich in comparison to PhoneLocator Pro or Cerberus. Plus I like to use the web based interface rather than SMS

I'm getting this as well and it is VERY ANNOYING (are you listening, Samsung?)
I can't figure out how to remove, stop, or freeze this garbage. Perhaps someone has some knowledge to share on how to get rid of this?
Glad I'm not the only one having this announce.

You have to manually go to each samsung app and check for updates. Sometimes it's S Health, Samsung hub, etc.
I had that problem when I updated to 4.3. I debloated too many apks. I can't remember if this is the right one for sure, but the only Samsung apk I still have on my sdcard is called SamsungApps_J_Only.apk. You might need to put that one back. I can't guarantee that's the correct one either, but once I replaced something, I was able to update my Samsung apps. It's been a couple months since I went back to 4.2.2.

Hmm. I went into every Samsung related app and none of them had any type of update.
Look in your app draw for one called "Samsung Apps", that's where you have to go and you'll have at least one app in it under purchased, that will be where to update at. If it's not in your app draw, search around here and Google for the "Samsung App .apk". Not sure where I ended up finding it.

Thanks to all who replied!
This is how I fixed it.
In my drawer I did not had "Samsung Apps" maybe at some point I uninstalled it, can't remember. Went to http://content.samsung.com/mobile/us/contents/aboutn/appsMobileIntro.do and installed it. When opened und menu there was 3 updates ready to be updated. Hope it helps someone.

Hey everyone. I had sent an email to the GoSMS developers before the official launch of this great watch asking for possible compatibility. Well yesterday on my way home from work they sent me a second reply back (You know the first is always going to say they appreciate your feedback) stating that attached is a .apk for a new version of GoSMS with Android Wear compatibility. Meaning that that you can now reply from your watch instead of having to pull your phone out. Here is the .apk hoping you all enjoy.
Do we have any keyboard at the moment?

Hello,
I have an issue that since using my Gear Fit with Lollipop or Marshmallow it won`t show me WhatsApp or Messenger messages. It shows only the notification and text that I can only view the message on my device. On 4.4.2 with my S5 it showed the text of the message. Now on 6.0.1 on S5 and S7 Edge it refuses to.
I tried to enable notifications details on lockscreen and on lockscreen I get the details of my message.
Message preview is ON in Gear Fit Manager.
Any thoughts how to fix it ?
Temporary solution is to set everything how you want it to be on gear fit with manager. Freez it with Titanium Backup and use Open Fit.
I talked to Samsung today on the phone and they said that it is intended from Samsung that 3rd party Apps cannot show their notifications details on Gear Fit. Can anyone help me to install older Manager on 6.0.1 ?
I know how to downgrade Gear Fit but cannot fin a working manager.
What ?
No see any changes in Gear Fit system notification ? it still show my 3rd notifications, no update on Gear Fit manager and no firmware update on Gear Fit, so no reason that anything change no ?
S4 Android 5.01

Thank you for answering.
I solved the issue by uninstalling AdAway. In some way it interfered with Gear Fit Manager. Dont ask why. After uninstalling everything works fine.
Thread CLOSED per OP request
Ok so I just got one today and boy I've had a lot of troubles with it. First it looks bad ace but it will not receive one email notification. I'm not stupid so I have checked to make sure that box is "on" and it is. It will not receive a facebook notification and after a couple of text notifications it stops getting them. I have a International 935f s7 edge connected to it. I don't know if it is the phone but my fit bit on it worked like a champ with out anything being wrong so I don't think it's that. I think I really just got a back one. I was one the phone with samsung for about 2 hours and they couldn't figure it out. Is there another update coming this week? Or should I send that bad boy in for RMA?
Oh yea factory resetted it twice today also...same thing will never get any other notification. Am I doing something wrong or is it a bad one?
And "notifications" for "samsung Gear Manager" is allowed in android settings ?

I not talk about the setting for each app you want to receive notification (mail, sms, facebook, twitter....) but the android permission (android phone settings) to authorize the "Gear Manager" apps to read and transmit notifications, right ?
yes it is. it is approved in the main setting
I just factory resetted it again and uninstall the gear app and redownloaded everything and it only receives one text than will not again...so weird...still testing but I think the software or the gear fit is bad
