Hello everyone
1st sorry for my bad english.
I am in the market for a tracker device and im a big fan of Samsung so I was thinking of buying this smart watch/tracker.
Would you advise me to wait for the next gen ? I have fears its might be a bit bulky and probably samsung will be coming up with a new version very soon.
Also is it fully compatible with note 3 and S6 ?
Should I get this or the Jawbone up3 ?
Thanks
Hi! I'm using it with Note 3 (Android 5.0.x, stock rom), without any problems.
You should read some reviews about the fit, because it's not for everyone. I cannot compare it to other devices, bacause i only have experince with gear fit.

I've posted this thread in the Galaxy Note Section as well because I don't know where it belongs. I'm sorry for troubling you guys please can someone please please help me?
Hi Everyone,
I'm torn between buying one of the two super phones: Samsung Galaxy Note and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus / Google Nexus Prime.
I've done some research using Google about the phones.
ht tp://ww w.androidauthority. com/galaxy-note-vs-galaxy-s2-vs-galaxy-nexus-the-best-of-the-best-32011/
ht tp:/ /social-catalog. com/samsung-galaxy-note-vs-google-nexus-prime
ht tp:/ /versusio. com/en/google-nexus-prime-vs-samsung-galaxy-note
It is my understanding that the Note is superior from what I have understood:
1. Bigger Screen of the Note makes it really awesome visually
2. Marginally better resolution for the Note as well
3. MUCH longer battery life on the Note although it said it is because of the screen size which begs me to ask: does that mean in effect it will be the same as the Nexus Prime's?
4. Note will also get upgraded to ICS
5. Note and NP have both got great screens - Super AMOLED
6. Galaxy Note has a better camera
7. Galaxy Note does or does not have a MICRO SD slot? I have read mixed reports on this. But, I am assuming both have that option of expandable memory. Am I correct?
Given all this I am concluding that the Note is a much better phone.
Am I right? Or am I missing something crucial? I don't "have" to buy a phone right now so is there another better phone with quad core coming out? I don't want to buy the phone and then 2 months later or in Q2 2012 have a new Quad core phone come out.
What do you guys think?
Please help me out here

There is a thread for this, but anyway the best phone i can recommend you to buy is the galaxy nexus due to the infinite support. optimus G or the nitro hd are also good options. do not buy the new htc's since they are being replaced every 1 month. Xperia products like the xperia t seem to be very good devices if you can get them but once again best phone for cm 10 is the galaxy nexus

Hi, I'm about to buy a new phone, to be around $ 300 and the Grand 2 is an option, do you recommend this model? Having trouble?
MotoG 2014 will be better ?
Thank you very much ..

If I were you, I'll go with the Moto G 2014. It'll get the latest update faster from Google *cough* Android L *cough* lol. And I'm pretty sure it will have more devs support. I'm using a Grand 2 myself, though should've waited a bit longer for the Moto G 2014, but I'm still happy with the Grand 2. Anyway that's my opinion, it's your pick. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy with any of the two devices
As a Grand 2 user... I'm having hard time in gaming and multitasking for long periods of time... Also heating issues make me sick more than a nausea!
I'll get Grand 2.
Moto G 2014 wins:
Faster official android operating system updates
Galaxy Grand 2 wins:
In my opinion, almost everything else.
Grand 2 would be a better choice over Moto G.
I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.

From the software point of view:
I'm always going with the stock experience, which you can find in the Oneplus 6 (I mean, almost stock).
I don't like the extra apps which come in the Samsung experience.
From the hardware point of view:
Both are great, of course, but the Galaxy S9 is definitely better when it comes to specs. It has the better chipset, better camera, and overall it is just a better device. It has also some nice to have features like water resistance and wireless charging
I would personally go with the Oneplus 6. The smoother experience in the stock version is way more important to me.
