    Notify over wifi

    My Gear Frontier can not receive notifications from my S22 Ultra unless I am in the same room. If I leave my phone in the living room, I will not get notifications in my kitchen 10 feet away. Both devices are on the same wi fi. Will this watch perform better in this respect?

    Iconx volume setting

    I love these headphones but I'm getting really tired of restoring my volume setting each time I put them on. Why can't the headphones or the accompanying gear app give us an option to save my volume setting? Restoring it is a pain. If I swipe up on my earphones, it inadvertently moves to the...

    S8+ Fatal Flaws

    The S8+ has two fatal flaws. 1. It is the most fragile phone ever made. http://www.techradar.com/news/hold-the-phone-samsung-galaxy-s8-dubbed-most-fragile-handset-ever Even with insurance, the deductible is $200. This means you MUST get a case or you WILL break the glass. So, I got a...

    BATTERY DYING!

    For months, my Gear S3 lasted days before needing a charge. However, after a recent internal Gear update, my battery can't last more than 6 hours! I know of 1 person who has a Gear S3 and it is happening to him too. I'm tired of factory resets as it destabilizes my ability to use Samsung Pay...

    Gear S3 simple text messages

    I just got this watch a few days ago and I am certain I was able to respond to texts with simple canned messages (ok, thanks, etc...). I am certain I saw a reply option on the actual notification too. Now, however, when I get a text, the notification only shows "mark as read". When I click on...

    constant disconnects (MOTO 360 Version 2)

    My new Moto360V2 is vibrating multiple times an hour to tell me that is is disconnected from my GalaxyS6. This would explain why I am missing some call and SMS notifications. My GalaxyS6 is in my pocket and my Moto360V2 is on my wrist. My GalaxyS6 is paired with two other bluetooth devices...

    Act on SMS content

    I've created a profile in Tasker that kicks off a task whenever a text message is received containing a special word. I have the following settings in this new "Received Text" profile: Type=SMS Sender=C:ANY Content=*SpecialWord* The profile kicks off the task just fine when I text myself but...

    worst phone EVER

    I have done nothing but wrestle with this phone (red hot, 3 hour battery, wi-fi and gps disconnections, constant rebooting, etc...) since Verizon gave it to me 3 weeks ago. I brought the phone in several times to complain but Verizon cleverly steered me down the "we can fix it" path. All of...
