Gear watch - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Anyone getting the gear watch? Picked mine up tonight and have found a few things that don't play the best with the s4 but really enjoy it so far.

Well the S4 needs 4.3 to really support the device.

Yeah most of the features are working pretty solid. I wonder if I was on a 4.3 if it would be any better. They are "supposed" to update it for the s4 this month I've heard. The Samsung rep was in my store the other day and she didn't know much about it hooking up to the other galaxy devices

Get the pebble and return the gear if you want a real smart watch. I'm not trying to bash your purchase but if you want I can excplain to you why the pebble is a much smarter buy or you can tell me to gtfo lol

I checked out the pebble as well but I get one heck of a deal on accessories where I work so I figured what the heck and wanted to try it out. How has the pebble been for you?

Please discuss in the sticky for other devices
Thanks

Good By Everyone :D

Its been a great run, but I sold my GNote. Purchasing a Nexus 4, so if any of you are are over there in the future, shoot me a PM
Take care, hope you guys get the Jelly Bean update soon
Did it get a fair price. I wanted to do the same until the great nexus 4 drought hit. Then the mixed reviews. Guess that means they are back in stock?

Yep, the nexus 4 is back in stock on the play store. I added it to my cart, so hopefully its still there when I get my money in to my account tomorrow. I got $400 for the GNote which is a great deal I think, considering the Nexus 4 is only $350, so including shipping I think I made a $25 profit or something like that.
I really don't like the screen or the design tbh.
I love my samoled I have an s3 and the note now, just got rid of the galaxy nexus for the s3
Many thanks for your generosity and support.
We're gonna miss you.
Another great note user leaving us ......damn
All the best too you ....g

Hear is a copy of my posting. Pretty straight forward. I added on the 32gb sd and extra battery, both were pretty cheap though.

Anyone want a free Samsung S-view cover? (wireless charging model)

I just got my ballistic SG Maxx and I love it. Rather than going on eBay and selling it I figured I'd see if anyone here had use for it. No charge of course if maybe someone could reimburse me for shipping when they receive it. It's in great condition.
EDIT: Please don't say you want it and then just sell it on eBay. I want someone who actually wants one that maybe couldn't afford it to have it.
EDIT 2: WINNER Congrats to DOG666 for being our winner! I'm sorry to all who didn't win, I kind of picked randomly and he was the first to PM me. If I don't hear back from him soon with his address I will pick a second winner! And keep your eyes peeled for some similar giveaways I plan on doing in the next two months. Round of applause to the GN3A forum for being such good sports. Keep up the good work guys!

I surely dont need the case just want to give a thank point to your Thanks Meter for your generousity. Not many people do what you do nowadays. :silly:

I was just about to jump in and say I'm interested but... aw well. Whomever gets it enjoy.
I've been trying to get one for so long but I'm a cheapskate! I would have given away my OEM wireless cover, Spigen Slim Armor, Bear Motion bumper, and more. I've already given away an unused Caseology case and ordered a battery door with microSD/SD adapter I didn't need (to experiment on for others here who asked me to) , so I'm already paying it forward.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I doubt it will get to me but I would really love this case. I currently just have the cheap Spigen case and it doesn't offer much protection. I have looked at this case for awhile but just never had the extra cash to get it.

Thank you! I never knew about XDA until I got my Note 3 and the forums have helped me from day 1 of my purchase. Seeing as how they are expensive cases and I recently started doing well financially (well... better than I was at least haha) I thought I would make someone smile!

Galaxy Gear for cheap!

Hey guys,
I was checking out my internet sites and I stumbled across this.
http://www.woot.com/offers/samsung-galaxy-gear-smartwatch-5-colors-1?ref=cnt_dly_tl
It's not cheap it's refurbished
Sent from my SM-N900 using Tapatalk
I can get it locally for USD 128 new in hong kong, it's nothing surprising as the gear 2, neo and fit has been released, they need to get rid of the old stock, if it was water resistant it would of been a good accessory.
I got it for 80$ in ny
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
It will be $75 as a norm in no time new.
It's been $99 new in Canada for weeks.

Yeah, I've been holding out until the Android Wear watches come out, but I've wondered how a wearable would be for a while. I'll just wait out the LG/Moto watches then. Can't be that far away.
Few days ago in France, the first Galaxy Gear was available for only 1€ in lot of stores : you paid 101 €, and you got 100 € refund by Samsung.
I really think this device does not deserve to be paid more. I prefer my Pebble Steel from any point of view.
Got one in a McDonald's happy meal. Lol
If they get cheap enough, I'm sure you could use it for something other than a watch. I'd strap one on my steering wheel for music control.
Not that it's cheap, but I had to post this link because this thing looks awesome!

It's not. It says that's just to show the phone off.

Will you guys trade up?

Will you guys be trading up if and when they release the samsung galaxy s5 prime? Honestly for me i felt like uber betrayed lmfao because i just got the s5 like a week ago but you know that's the movement of technology lol.
GAH!!! that would happen!!!!
I just got my S5 to, i knew i should have waited! lol
exact reason im on "jump" plan.
How do we know its coming to US anyways I buy all my phones out anyways so will just sell and buy the prime out right if its worth it..

actually he is wrong, best part imo is you also get full insurance with the plan.
http://www.t-mobile.com/phone-upgrade.html
Nah!
I moved from the S3 to the S5. I'll likely do the same with the S7.
Prime is just like the Active to me. I didn't pickup an S4, nor an S4 Active, why get the S5 Prime? If it was the same price, that would be one thing, but it will be more expensive at first.
i am only jumping if the Z2 comes to tmobile and if that does not come out then i am gonna jump to the Note 4
In all honesty, if the HTC m8 comes out with a prime version... With a stronger camera.. Probably going to jump ship. It's not to say that I don't like the s5, I just effing hate touchjizz and I'm tired of the plastic.
Came from an s3 and i thought I would enjoy the upgrade... But it still feel like the same thing... I will say that battery life is a hell'a better though so... There's that I guess?
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
As far as I can tell there's nothing confirmed yet??
The way I'll trade up is if Samsung has an Official Trade In program for owners of the S5.
The chances of Samsung doing this is next to none though so I won't be upgrading to the S5 Prime but instead will wait for the Note 4.

Are we[T-Mobile S5] going to be getting the 4.4.4 kit Kat update or lollipop 5.0????

Well looks like AT&T S5 just received the update to 4.4.4 kit Kat. ? I hope t mobile doesn't fall in suit with what AT&T did.
Just seems odd that AT&T would push the 4.4.4 update right before they where supposedly to get 5.0 lollipop. Odds are now they won't get 5.0 till way later in the year. I could be wrong but two updates right on top one another don't seem the norm .

That was my thoughts too. Seems to me there having a lot of issues with merging lollipop into tw.The ram issue I think they fixed but I'm also hearing a lot of heating and lag problems as well as app fc's. I haven't seen A lot of feed back from the Verizon variant of this device. But from the little I have seen it's not running well on them either. Well we might just be stuck with kitkat for a bit longer I guess. I'm still looking to jump to another device I'll make my final decision when I go into pay my bill in a couple weeks. I'm still not able to get lte working properly on mine anyways.

I agree S6 would really have to impress me.. I was thinking about the Nexus 6 but might just go with the new moto x. It's a simular device as the N6 and still has pretty darn good specs.

Yeah that's a good idea to wait see what comes out. In my case though I would be stuck with a device that's not working properly and I would be still paying on it. I could get it fixed but I'm just all around not happy with the device.

Well folks I went ahead and made the move to Nexus 6. Just picked it up today and so far I'm very impressed. Just can't deal with the Samsung's anymore. I truly did not even like them anymore after the S4 and thought well maybe the S5 would be an improvement.... Well it wasn't in my opinion. I want to say though thanks to all the other devs out there that at least tried to make the S5 a better device. Thank you for your work. I'm actually seeing a lot of folks over on the Nexus thread that had to make the same move away from Samsung's. as I did. For those who are sticking with the S5 good luck and I hope they /Samsung ,devs can keep up there work and fix this device. Love you all , Peace?
