Note 8 got one amazing feature and no one talks about it! - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

If you are heavy user of "OK Google" its time to rejoice! Note 8 can hear you even when the screen is off AND phone is not connected to charger. I just upgraded from S8+ and noticed this feature. I just wear an android wear watch to use OK Google as I love samsung phones but they never used to support this earlier Iike LG or Pixel/Nexus phones.
Now Bixby and Google together makes this a great phone for hands free usage.

I appreciate that it works but no pats on the back for Samsung for finally catching up.

Pity's they just recently broke Google assistant and it will no longer work with any media players anymore.
I loved how it worked with my Bluetooth helmet even while locked and I could ask it to play any song I wanted. Now it just tells me that I need to select a default music provider every time.

5 days ago I used mine in my car and it worked fine is why it asked. Guess I will have a chance to check again when I get off travel.

Can't get OK Google to work either. I even put the Google widget on home screen to no avail.

Google Now listening in

Hey all, I'm runnning Google Now launcher and I love it so far. Today I swung by the Verizon store to check out a couple things. I never pulled my Galaxy note 3 out of my pocket while in the store. The rep started talking to me about the galaxy note edge. I've never been interested in it so I have NEVER done a search for it in my chrome or google now browsers. At least no anytime in the last 8 months. Anyway when I got back into my car, i opened up my screen and noticed that google now had a story by phonedog and the galaxy note edge.
Could google now be listening in even when I'm not actively using the phone? it was in hibernation screen...

what does a cookie have to do with an app recording all sounds from your mic and translating them then uploading them so they can send you ads?

No...no one is listening.
But what does happen....is if you allow google to track your location....they know you were in a Verizon store....they know what kind of phone you have and could (don't know if they do or not) base ads on that.

Haters gonna hate. Thats the only way to look at it. Its a cool piece of hardware but theres haters for everything. Hell you tell people the battery will last 2-3 days and they scream bloody murder, "oh it sucks, thats horrible!". Then you tell them the Apple iWatch battery will only last 8 hours and they are all like " oh well thats probably ok" (I dont actually know what the iWatch battery is like). I did just go on a little rant here. It should give you some insight into why people talk bad about it.
Thanks I'll check that out

I just got mine yesterday and so far I like it. I had the original Gear 1 and a Moto 360. I will say that the Moto 360 seemed to work better with Google stuff such as Hangouts, but it was far more limited as a device compared to the Gear S. I loaded the Gear Notification Extender, and now I can reply to both Gmail and Hangouts using the Gear S, very nice!
I do like the option of using something like the Opera Mini Browser to view Gmail and such. And I can't wait to try it out this spring while cycling, it would be nice to leave my phone at home or in the car when riding my bike.
Hope this helps.
its a fantastic piece of kit
to be fair i've struggled with it a bit understanding the settings and permutations but the functionality seems to be improving day by day.
the choice of useful apps isn't massive but that hasn't been a problem for me personally,
I'm not a great fan of the interface on my related S4 smartphone but i can live with that
the liberation of just having the watch (ok with your compatible samsung plugged in or turned on somewhere else) is the main attraction for me
i dont understand the haters especially those deriding the battery life, the appearance (it looks great on your wrist in real life), the concept ( i don't think i need one why would anybody else?) or the need to have a samsung phone to go with it ( I'm not charmed by that either that but Samsung are no worse than others in that regard and there are I guess technical reasons why it has to pair with something short of being a brick on your wrist) at least with the Gear S that pairing can be at a distance or indeed you can just use it as a phone on its own
some people have posted here and on android central that they have returned the watch but most actual users who see the use case for them, have checked out the limitations, have persevered or been patient with some of the glitches and understand why its the best in its class
i see your a "senior member" so apologies for showing granny how to suck eggs - apart from that buy it - or hang on a little longer to see if there really is a Gear S 2 coming soon!

Bluetooth crackling/static

Is anyone else having an issue when streaming music via Bluetooth? It sounds like static/crackling, kinda like the audio is being clipped at the higher end.
I just got the phone on Monday so I have time to try and exchange it if it could be a bad phone. Just not sure if it is a common issue or not.
Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk
It could also be your Bluetooth device. try yhe device with other phones and see if the static persists. make sure you test 1 to 3 songs across the devices and make sure the songs are the same.

I too came from a V10. my V10 had plenty of problems, my Beats Solo 2 wireless would crack a lot, as well as my Jaybirds x2. once I got my G6 the only cracking I got was when I stepped out of rage. anyways I'm just saying to test things out with multiple devices, multiple Bluetooth devices would be ideal as well. don't just quickly assume it's not something. doesn't matter if it's a car or not tech is tech and some of it may be defected.

I can try other things but so far it does the exact same thing in my car and my wife's car. I am fairly certain it is related to the phone.

Just tried it with one of my Bluetooth speakers and I get the same issue. It almost seems like the more stuff connected to Bluetooth the worse it is.
So far it seems like it isn't as bad when I am not wearing my smart watch. I might try it with my fit bit disconnected too to test that theory.
Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk
I haven't had any issues with BT on my VS988.
So i just exchanged the phone for a new oneand have the same issue. It is definitely something related to the phoneand how it handles bluetooth because my V10 with the same apps and devices doesn't have this issue.

I had the same problem and exchanged phones –after adding things Lil by Lil I had the same issue and narrowed it down to my Samsung smart watch - when I disabled the watch or the gear software it would stream fine – after a lil while with phone I'm realizing it is VERY VERY VERY BUGGY and VERY VERY VERY SLOW and Verizon's service is too

Yea, it somehow seems related to my watch too (Huawei), but I am not sure if it is the watch or just the fact that it is always using the Bluetooth as well.

yeah my Jaybirds do that too. what I do is ON the G6 I hold volume down and power to get me to that recovery page or what it is called and then all I do is wipe cache, it helps me. not sure if it will help you.

It does kinda suck, but I have a feeling it has to do with Android Wear app. So I think at some point I am going to do a factory reset and only install apps that don't use Bluetooth at all and then keep installing one at a time to see if I can narrow it down.

Definitely share your results. I sold my Nexus 6p or I would do some more testing as well.
I'm pretty sure it's a bug with the phone's bluetooth. It happens to me when connected to my Android Wear watch. If I turn off my watch, the crackling stops.
Yea, I am pretty positive it is Android Wear/Smart Watch related. I unpaired my watch from my phone and uninstalled Android Wear and the issue seems gone.
Weird.
EDIT: Nevermind, it's still there, it was better for a while.

LG & Verizon (SMH)
The Bluetooth is TERIBLE on these phones - The BLE doesn't work and too many devices paired (especially smart watches) messing up streaming something Awful. There are MANY software bugs especially using google music and many other programs/apps - the longer you use the phone to more the bugs will standout, but in LG's defense they have issued a software update, but with Verizon there's Really No Telling when will get it (if we get it)

How do you know LG issued an update? What's weird is my old V10 didn't have this issue, I wonder if it is Nougat related.

Amazfit without phone

I was considering buying one of these watches but was wondering if they function without having a phone constantly in range. For example could I wear it to work tracking steps, GPS and heart rate and then sync the data at the end of the day ?
Yes u can,
u can sync any time u needed,
One more​ confirmation that you can. Not sure how long watch can track activities without syncing with the phone. With available internal storage could be quite long.
Basically you can do and see all on the watch itself except one thing, set the time.
Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk
Actually, you need the phone the firsty time you start up the amazfit, from then you no longer need to connect the Amazfit to the phone, but obviously thew data will remain only on the Amazfit neither the phone nor on cloud.
Hello,
I have read that Amazfit Bip has wifi.
Can I use it when I don't have the phone with me? For example the phone is connected on my home router, the watch on my gym router, and still receive sms and other notifications?
Thank you

Yes, it has wifi but only for update and upload activities. Not sure that upload actually works correctly and that you don't need the phone at all.
You're idea is really good, can be done but will drain battery on both devices. Watch is automatically turning off wifi when is not used. Notifications are coming via Bluetooth (BLE).
Btw, have you noticed that you cannot set time/date on the watch without phone?

I agree with Zeljko1234, BIP is not the best choice. I bought Verge and i really happy that i choice this model. Without smartpohone you can listen with bluetooth music, no need to have at this moment smartphone, you can sport wihout smartphone with this model. Later you can sync all yours days activities with smartphone. Wifi is need for update, upload feedback and ect. Later is talk about mini games in this model. But most important what do you want from watch and why you want to use it without smartphone?
P.S. Yes BIP can be without charge 45 days (Amazfit information), but Verge have also not bad battery, offcourse it's not 45 days But about 3 - 4 days with my settings (most feature is activated and working a lot of hours, heart rate - always) i can be without any worries. By the way it's really good watch for low price (i spent more as 140 euros)
One big minus you can't install from Google Play any others apps to watch like can do with Samsung's, Huawei and ect., watch which running by Android Wear, but if say honest almost all important apps (witdgets) is added: weather, music, find smartphone, timer, compass, call (yes you can call from watch to friends, but need smartphone to be connected) and others. There is no calendar yet, but maybe will be later, i hope. Have IP68 protection of water, anti allergic band, memory for user about 2.5GB from 4GB (for music), smooth, Amoled screen (display), have voice assitant (US market only at this time) and much more...
I am considering the Amazfit for my 11 yr old. He doesn't have a phone, we do. What would he be able to do with this phone?

Samsung galaxy watch doesn't work

Hello everyone
Just got a samsung galaxy watch, loaded in the Samsung Wear app as required. However, it will not pair with the watch, it resets each time.
I've read other mate 20 Pro users being affected. Anyone else had a problem?
Only thing I can think of is an incompatibility issue with a android 9.
Thanks

I disagree with that. I like to try all different brands of phone, not so much Apple since the 5s but Samsung have been ok for me. I still have my Note 9, it's just slightly too big for daily use. Not one issue with it besides that. Now this Huawei phone, i cant say I've had no issues with this, from auto brightness messing up and third party launchers not working properly with gestures. I like the phone but it's far from perfect. And also this is my 3rd due to the green screen issues. Looking forward to see what the S10 has to offer.

Excuse me, man, is your watch new this year?
The Galaxy Watch is a few months old, got it when it was released.
I received an updated firmware both on the watch and the phone, now I don't have any disconnect issues anymore but I don't know if it's a Samsung or Huawei fix.
Everything works just fine here, especially after Samsung's latest update, which fixed reconnection issue
Hey did you guys without issues enable anything special? I have to manually connect every day. Did you add the apps to the whitelist or anything.
Thinking about going back to wear os with the fossil watch.

Nothing special, but noticed I had to turn screen on phone for them to connect, so for example when I turn on Bluetooth on the phone then turn watch on and leave them next to each other to connect obviously the watch takes a couple of minutes to boot up so by then the screens timed out on my phone, so once I unlock phone after about a minute it'll then connect which is a bit weird never had that problem when it was connected to my Note 9. Watch would connect with my Note 9 whether the screen on phone was off or on.

Yeah looks like I have to hit the open on phone button and all is good. I normally have 2 devices connected at a time and coming from lg v30+ it handled that better than most phones.
I agree, watch is perfect connected to samsung phone. Wife uses the note 8 without any issues. But I understand that part, its meant to be used within samsungs world.

True. But once connected everything works great, so not too bad I guess [emoji6]

Anyone trying Mate 20 Pro with the Bluetooth version of Galaxy Watch? Or is it working only with LTE version? Thanks!

I disagree with that. I like to try all different brands of phone, not so much Apple since the 5s but Samsung have been ok for me. I still have my Note 9, it's just slightly too big for daily use. Not one issue with it besides that. Now this Huawei phone, i cant say I've had no issues with this, from auto brightness messing up and third party launchers not working properly with gestures. I like the phone but it's far from perfect. And also this is my 3rd due to the green screen issues. Looking forward to see what the S10 has to offer.

I have the opposite experience. Have both note 9 And mate pro, I haven't used my note 9 since I got the mate, so enough said!
