Got my Frontier a few hours ago, love the size. Was worried it would be too big as inhale small wrists but coming from a Microsoft Band 2 it feels less bulky to wear.

Frontier delivered today and getting use to the menus, really like the rotating bezel so easy to use.

Got mine yesterday. Liking it so far but I'm missing the speedometer app that was on the promo videos. Anyone else noticed it missing?
The headphones are way better than I thought they were going to be too!

Yes I was also looking for the speedo app. And also the ability to draw on the screen - it says handwriting not available for the language selected (UK English).
Otherwise, I love the Frontier, it looks amazing and performs perfectly.

Wow that's so cool better than the Apple version. Crazy we need to talk fake English [emoji41]
Assume to get Spotify to work under the UK a similar setup method is required to fool it into a US setting

BT S Pen feedback

Does anybody have it yet? Could you please leave your comments and first impressions here if you do?...
The pen works very well on the note 10.1. It feels more natural than the s pen. I actually Bluetooth it to my galaxy note 5.3. Sound quality is excellent and the people I talk to can hear me very clearly. All in all a great device. Can you live without it? Absolutely, but it's fun to have.
Thanks for the feedback.
1. Does this pen allow pairing with more than one device at the same time?
2. Does it house the 10.1 stylus inside, like the holder for the original N7000 Note did?

No. As far as I can see it only pairs with 1 device. Can't read Chinese instructions though. It doesn't house the stylus. It's a separate stylus. Comes with its own bag of plastic nibs.
Anyone else got this? Could you please leave your feedback? Thanks.
I've ordered it off of ebay, but not received yet. am anxious to read others reviews as well.
The BT s-pen has the same function as the normal s-pen. And it is a bluetooth headset with vibrition for incomming calls. When you press the phone button S-voice opens. Say "call Annie" and Annie will be called. Great !
Where to order one

Got mine off Ebay from Korea directly... No english instructions but then its not too hard to work out...
Charge until led turns blue, start bluetooth on Phone/Tablet, search bluetooth.
On pen, hold dial button for 3 - 10 seconds, tablet will pick up, Can't remember if I needed to enter pair code but "0000" usually works....

I finally got my hands one one of these yesterday - awesome. I also got English instructions with mine
1. Yes it supports two devices at the same time (Multi-Point) I have mine paired with my Note 10.1 & my Note 2
2. Yes it holds an s-pen inside - there's some instructions for re-assembling it and a picture. I don't know if it's the full s-pen inside though and I'm not going to take it apart just to find out.
It's got the proper feel of a pen and is much nicer to write with than built in one. Works great with s-voice as well and sound quality is good.
My poor s-pen always stays in it's slot now.
Also one proud owner here Got mine for about 30 usd. Really like to use it over the standard Spen. And what is more cool than talk to your pen, haha.

From this shop I doubt... in fact they don't have fixed prices and you can bargain. I have years of experience on this in China so not easy to fool. But I didn't find this pen in China and there I think no chance to bargain for such original products, at least not much. So I was suprise to find it here and be able to set a good price. I also bought the original flip cover. Or it just could be that they try to ripoff all the white faces they see

Update, there's 2 on Ebay.com right now. I think only 1 is under $75 AND a US seller. When I search I only want US sellers. Hope this helps. You can set up 'saved searches' and even 'notifier' when the item matches your wish.

The device is awsome, only thing I miss is the camera flash. The camera is worthless in dark. Performance is superb, no doubt.

I wasn't planning on gettng this but got it in a straight up trade and I wasn't expecting much. I like the tablet alot. The battery life has been very good for me. I watch alot of TV shows and movies and it performs fine. Still haven't fully tested any games but I don't play games all the time. So far, it works for what I need it to do.
How is the gps on it? How long to lock satellites? Anyone use it with sygic or any other mapping/ gps software?

Use the officemax coupon. Got it today for 159.00 but I bought the total equipment warranty for 45 dollars x 3 years. Plan on using it as a universal remote in the entertainment area. The warranty is nice. Replaces device of equal value for almost any reason. Didn't see anything about rooting.
I figure I pay for TEW for my cell phones at a lot more a month than 45 dollars x 3 years.

Unfortunately, the european version is not with IR....
It ia a bit underpowered as compaired to some of the other tablets, but it is also priced lower as well.
Just depends on what you want .
I think for that price is it a very good piece of Hardware

I used a $75 off coupon for Samsung Tablets and that brought the price for the 210R to $125 plus local tax. The coupon was at Staples.com/coupons and good until Sept. 28. That coupon is no longer posted there. If interested here's a link for the coupon

The problem is, according to me, that there is a lot of turn-off on this tablet.
For example, there is no backlight for the "menu" and "back" button :/
No notification led either.
Ho, and Samsung made a hell of a job filling it with useless application, and biding it to KIES....
I like the samsung galaxy tab 3 7.0 I have sucessfully rooted and flashed a new rom (jaminsons infamous rom) and I found it doesnt lag as much and is good to check email facebook or play games on it so enjoy
I've had mine for a week now no issues after I rooted it cwm it and removed the Samsung bloat I didn't want. I like splanner better then the normal calendar.
It's been great so far

True, but those two features mean nothing to me.
I loved that I found it for $145.00 on Ebay. I know it is not the most powerful out there, but I was not looking for that.
After rooting, overclocking the Rom a bit, and clearing out useless apps, just as zippy as needed. I play a few graphic heavy games with no issues.

Did anyone get a Classic

I was wondering if anyone was able to get the Classic? I had to settle for a black sport, what did you get?
I was thinking of doing that then returning it for Classic. I didn't want to deal with the hassle. Are you keeping your sporty version?
How do you guys like it? I went to see it @best buy. I found it kind of small on my wrist. It seemed to me a little more geared towards getting to get woman to buy it. Idk just my thought. Still debating on pulling the trigger
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
I got a black sport one to replace my original Pebble. I wore the Pebble all the time, shower included. It is definitely heavier than the Pebble, fits my small wrists nicely. My only complaint so far is there isn't a lot of nice free watch faces out there. Also, the vibration is very faint even on strongest. The Pebble had crazy vibration power.
I got the Classic. It was delivered so I have no hands on experience with the sports version to make a direct comparison to. I have a small wrist for a male and it fits me very well. I understand how it might not fit too well if you have a large wrist.

I still prefer the Classic better, leather band. I just wanted to play with it for a while I wait for the classic to come in stock. I was told the classic wouldn't arrive at Best Buy until the next friday. Overall the watch itself is very nice and the rotating bezel is just awesome, in terms of navigation.

You can make out the pixels in certain content, I noticed that streaming sometimes improves as the video progresses. You can certainly notice the difference between good quality content and not so good quality content.
I will tell you that its pretty damn good compared to most other VR that I've tried though.
Silly question but did you play with the focusing wheel at the top? also make sure its a tight fit and try moving the headset around on your head as it might not be sitting perfectly in front of your eyes.

I did try several contents, but its also the Userinterface which is not clear to my eyes.
And yes, I did try the wheel, but I dont mind silly questions, I'll try to move with my head!
was playing with this, the effect is amazing its just the resolution aint the best some of the content is just very bad , i tried the cinema and that was really amazing experience the seats next to you seem so real, i can only imagine when quality is like what we get with 1080p on tv screen then it would be something id probably watch movies on , this just seems the beginning , cant wait till it gets better
I have had a gear VR since the early developer edition for the Note 4. The new Gear VR supplied with the S7 is a great improvement. But I am afraid the resolution will always be a bit fuzzy, as essentially you are viewing the screen very close to your eyes and then magnified. You will see the pixels like you would if you used a magnifying glass against the screen. It's the limitations of the technology mostly and this is why I was hoping for a 4K screen on the S7 this time around as that would improve things a lot, as would some of the movies being shot in a higher resolution.
As a side note remember to wipe your phone screen as clean as possible before inserting into the VR and make sure that you do not touch the lenses as you do so. Any greasy smudge (or fibre from a cloth) will impair the viewing.
In my opinion, considering how relatively cheap the Gear VR is and how much content is available which continues to grow, it still is a fantastic experience overall. Samsung have got the ball rolling and we can only expect this technology to improve.

blah, I gotta wait for my Gear VR to come in

I don't know what the S6 developer edition is like. I am comparing the original Gear VR "developer edition" that was released with the Note 4, to the ones that are now shipping with the S7, so you personally may not see too much difference. But it's lighter, less bulky, has better ventilation, more comfortable padding, a micro usb port for charging on the go and is compatible with various galaxy phones now.

Yeah, similar one here mate. My Mrs said, "oh boys with toys", but then she started using it and her face was a picture, huge cheesy smile
Just let my old man have a go and even he figured out how to play it and said it was literally like looking at the future.
The best way I can explain it is that is essentially like being literally in one of the lawnmower man simulations!

Can I ask why no one is discussing the new watches?
I have searched and cannot find a thread for this or a dedicated new forum page.
I am probably just being dumb but if there is such a thread could someone kindly direct me to it.
Thanks.

Thanks, I have seen thy thread.
Also I think I have seen every single you tube on this watch (twice over) I especially liked the first unboxings by Tim Schofield which came out yesterday.
I am really excited for this watch (even though I have the S3 Frontier)
Mine arrives on 6th September. Fingers crossed for early deliveries!

Why?
Is bixby and 100 mah battery worth 350 euro? And the removal of MST?
I accept the upgrade is not massive but I was always torn between the S3 Classic or Frontier and I believe that this is a perfect blend of the two. So essentially it it just aesthetics for me.
I got the Frontier second hand for £180 and Samsung are giving me £100 trade in so I think overall it is a reasonable price to pay.
Also the mst is totally irrelevant to me as I never use my watch for payment, always happy to just use my phone.
I am interested on those who are receiving theirs today in the USA. Please let us have your reviews.

For me the fact that I can go swimming with it now is worth the upgrade. I didn't use MST on my Gear S3 anyways. I ordered from BestBuy and I got an email I can pick it up today. So will grab it on my way home from work.

Well so far I'm not impressed. Its been a little over 24 hours of light use and my battery is at 75%. The galaxy app says 2 days 12 hrs left, so that would put the battery life somewhere around 3 and 1/2 days about 1 1/2 days shorter then they claim (5 days). The Bixby app is horrible, if I ask the weather or a question it takes a very long time to respond compared to the S-Voice of S3, at one point it even froze. The daily briefing feature is kinda cool but I assume the S3 will get this in an update. Anyways as it stands now not sure it was worth the upgrade.
Oh, I thought nobody received the "new" watch...

I upgraded from the LTE Gear S2. This was a huge upgrade for me in my opinion. I didn't use Samsung Pay on the S2 because it didn't have MST so I'm not really missing anything. I love the battery life of this watch. My old S2 barely made it through a work day. The one thing I miss from the S2 is the Timer app. I used it when cooking. There is no app like it on the Galaxy Watch.
I also would like to see the SmartThings integration with the watch. The Samsung ad shows this, but no app on the watch. I have lots of lights and other items that would be nice to control on the watch. I hope that this will be a new app that gets pushed out with an upgrade.
Overall, I love the new Galaxy Watch.

For some reason the timer was not on the S3 either but it is an available app to download.

Yep I'm in the US. The Timer App and the Stop watch app have to be manually downloaded like the S3. Why those 2 aren't on by default is beyond me.

Why?
Is bixby and 100 mah battery worth 350 euro? And the removal of MST?

^this.
I waited to see the new Galaxy Watch with all the rumors about it but once it was announced with a bigger battery at the expense of MST i just bought the S3 Frontier 2 days later for $179 new from Best Buy (had them price match). I was looking at the S3 Frontier for 3 reasons, battery life, MST, and bezel/look. I'm getting 3-4 days on a charge so don't need more battery at the expense of MST and to get this look it's in a smaller form factor so this made no sense to spend $350 over the $179 price
I mean, just look at this video, everything is the same, the gear wearable app looks the same, RAM is the same, the speed/performance is the same. TLDR: If you are a pro swimmer then get the galaxy watch, thats it.

I finally found the app. Not sure why it was showing up when I was searching for the app Timer

fyi, got a firmware update this morning. R800XXU1BRH3 - Improved Samsung Health Experience, Improved device stability.
Now the watch has been released surely there should be a dedicated page for this on XDA? Have I missed it somehow?
Is interest in this watch so small?
Can't wait for the release in the UK.
