[Q] does it work well with a samsung gear 2 watch? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so, I have ordered a gear 2 neo watch, to work with my note 4 when I get it friday.
during a chat with samsung this morning, they say it works great with the note 4, but I was wondering if anyone is using the Gear 2 or Gear 2 neo watch with the note 4 yet..
I would assume it works fine, since it did work well with the note 3, but would just like to hear anyones experience with it..Am also curious if rooting the phone causes any issues with the watch, and even though its too early, wondering if the watch will work if the phone has a custom rom, either a touch wiz or AOSP/CM rom..
thanks for you input!:good:

Working great.

No guarantee it works right on non stockish roms. Rooting stock is fine

you have a note 3 or note 4?
thanks again!

I had both. Switched from Note 3 to Note 4
Yours will be new so no issues, but if you ever switch phones, anytime the gear manager is resynced or your gear watch is re-paired, the watch erases itself and re-configures. Fortunately NOT that big of a deal with the watch.

I hit thanks by accident. I have the note 3 and the note 4. My gear 2 neo is working fine with both devices.

i wont have the phone until Friday, but am hoping to get the watch Thursday. can I play with it for a day before the phone comes, or just leave it alone until I have the phone so I dont confuse or mess up the initial config before the note 4 is here?
thanks

can't do much on the watch without the phone really. Well, you can tell time... hahahaha

what kind of range do you guys get between the phone and the watch?
I have read everything from 3 feet to 300 feet!
thanks

Honestly, probably around 25 to 30 feet.

Rarely more than 30 ft, less if walls in between. Mine disconnects and reconnects as I move in and out of range.

thanks; as long as it re-connects automatically when in range, I am fine with that.

Will the Gear get ROMs? Use with other phones?

I know it's VERY early, but that 30% discount at Tmobile is tempting me. But I don't plan on getting a Note 3 or a S4. Currently I'm very happy with my LG G2, although I am considering swapping out to a Nexus 5 depending on what that ends up being.
Anyway I'm trying to find a use for the Gear without a S4/N3. Is there ANY functionality that would prove useful just running it by itself?
Do you guys anticipate any ROMs released in the future to have it work with other Android phones, or just to add stand alone functionality to it? Or is it a totally closed system and hopeless?
Right now it's an n3 or nothing. Have not heard of any roms really

Right now without a compatible device to pair it to you can't even use it as a watch, as the pairing process is what sets the time etc, and there is no way to bypass the screen instructing you to pair it with your device. After it's paired it will function as a watch, camera and pedometer without being connected to the phone but that's about it. No idea on roms but I have heard Samsung will be releasing an SDK for developers to create apps for it.

The app was updated so it can be installed on an S4 from the Samsung store yesterday I believe. Pretty sure it doesn't support all the functions on the S4 tho until it gets 4.3.
Could always get a gear and go into a carrier store and sync on of the GN 3 on display... Jk... Then again it may work. Lol

[Q] Galaxy Gear 2 with Note 2 (Stock) users?

I was initially turned off of the Galaxy Gear 2 by the price, but I understand that there are some refurbs avaiable for $99, so I was wondering if anyone in the Note 2 forum on the stock rom has an opinion on it. I really only want to use it for email notification and as a controller of my Google Play music library.
I really figured that I was going to wait on Motorola's upcoming watch, but for $99 ...
Any difference in pre-tizen and post-tizen?
Thanks for your time.

I really like mine, but I don't think it will work with a stock Note 2 ROM, although you may be able to get notifications of you tweak it

Where have you seen refurbs for $99??
You're probably mixed up with the 1st gen or the neo.
My mistake...
Yes, you are quite right. I did mistake a Gen 1 for for a Gen 2.
The refurbs are available at the Best Buy website.
Sorry for the error.

is gear really necessary?
I just ordered a refurb Gear 1 from SlickDeals last week. It's out for delivery today so I can't give my opinion just yet. However based on what I read the only real difference is the heart rate monitor on the Gear 2. (Well as long as you upgrade to Tizen)...I think I will upgrade the Gear 1 to Tizen since I really don't need a 1 inch screen for viewing full blown Android apps! LOL I can barely see the screen on my Note 2 HAHAHA!!!

Should I get the Note 4?

I am happy with my Note 3 but want to use my Jump and get the latest phone. I am pretty much ready to get the Note 4 but I am worried about the amount of threads talking about problems. The amount seems to be a lot higher that it was when the Note 3 came out. I realize there will always be problems but I don't want to regret jumping from a perfectly good Note 3 to having problems with the Note 4.
Should I be worried or is it really not as buggy problematic as it seems to be?

Get the Note 4 . It is not buggy and since you have Jump then you dont have to worry about tripping Knox . All these rRoms that are based off stock are amazing and I have zero bugs. By the way I would suggest selling your Note 3 outright . You will get more for it than they will give you for jump most likely . I had the S5 and I was gonna Jump and trade it in but they were only gonna cover $315 . I sold my GS5 for $415 and paid off my device and got an extra $100 compared to what they were giving me . You wont regret getting it .Although the Note 3 is a great phone the Note 4 is more powerful and has 64bit dual channel memory instead of 32bit . Not to mention the screen is amazing and the phone is built out of Metal

Also what threads are you talking about? Problems? I have absouletly no issues with mine. This is the most powerful phone out and not to mention is built awesome and if you use TouchWiz it has quite a few new useful features . The new multi window is awesome. t a floating window you can resize . By far my favorite phone I have eveer owned ( and there have been many many phones)
Been using my note 4 for a couple days. I don't see any bug. However, I suggest you keep your Note 3. My dad is using a Note 3 and honestly I don't see any absolutely must-buy feature of my Note 4. The Note 4 is a better Note 3 and that's it.
The screen alone is worth the upgrade. The screen on note 3 is too dim and doesn't go super low on brightness at night

there are no bugs; anyone reporting that either has a defective phone or they dont know what they are doing..
this is the #1 android phone out now, no question..
Yeah, what threads are you referring to? I see maybe .0001% of people with challenges. And no, the Note 3 has MUCH more problems than the Note 4 at launch.
I'm personally confuse about all these bug you are referring to...you sure you been in the right forum? lol
If you do not want to get it because of all the bugs...I will suggest you look around again, I do not see anything about bugs
As if to upgrade, thats up to you. Note 4 is a better Note 3, all there is to it. Its not like jumping from a Note 2 to a Note 3. Note 4 is how the Note 3 should have been (minus that screen)
Coming from an s5 I am in love with my note 4 to the point where I will just buy the Note line
Buggy wasn't my main point, I said and mainly meant threads about problems. It also isn't the amount of threads but just the overall amount of comments from different people who have said they have problems is what concerned me. Here are some examples of threads but there are also comments within other threads were people are talking about the problem they are having. I am not going to track down everything that I have read since its release.
My main point is just the overall feeling of the quality control maybe not being the best this time around or just getting the feeling that waiting a bit for things to get ironed out might be best. The bad reception thread was the big flag at first and concerned me the most. Some people have said the regretted going to the Note 4 from the Note 3 so that is just why I was asking to see what the current feelings are.
Thanks for the replies!

Like others comment ... You should sell your note 3 you will get more for your device ... But upgrading from the note3 you should the screen is amazing and you will love it ... I personally haven't had no lag from my side ...
Note 4 exceeds all expectations. As a heavy user, I haven't run into any major bugs nor have I had any hw issues. Although I'm a fan of nexus, this was the obvious choice due to all the value samsung had built into this device.
As for upgrading from n3, I wouldn't (unless my name was dwitherell year to year advancements are too insidious for me to justify cost. Which is why I choose to upgrade every other year. Tbh my n2 was still a beast at the time I retired her.
I currently owe $408 on the phone and I am on the original jump plan so I don't have to have half the phone paid off. My original purchase price was only $612 so I am not to deep into my Note 3. The sooner I jump, the better off I will be. I got the phone back at the end of January so I am not upset about the ~ $200 I have into this phone.

If you are on the original jump, there is no requirement to pay half off. you can jump once every six month on the original jump. The jump 2 however, requires half to beer payed of in order to jump.
As to upgrading from note 3, while a very serious device, is trumped by note 4 in almost every aspect. The screen on note 3 is garbage.
Well I am one of three people in my office that got the Note 4 and all of us love it and none of us have had any problems. Of course if you go out to forums for any device you will find people with problems.

Yeah the original Jump is actually worth it . The new Jump doesnt really have anything to offer at all . If you own the phone for a year you can get more for it selling it yourself rather than getting low balled by Tmobile

Exactly, tmobile realized that with the original jump comsumers were actually getting a good deal so they quickly changed it to jump 2 which iffers nothing.

anyone coming from note 4 or note edge?

So I just came from note 4 and note edge curious anyone start to (had note 4 and note edge each 1 week of use)
Feel like me? Kinda miss the kidnapper lol
So i m loving the smooth stock experience very smooth however
The note 4 and edge seem to have a bit of the sexiness with them ?
Gonna give this 1 week trial I would probably settle with the note edge if
This don't go well ..lol
Anyone?
I came from Note 4 after 2 months of usage, so far quite like the nexus 6. Battery seems to be better for me with Nexus 6. I use everything at full blast by the way, no power saver or reduce stuff

I switched from an AT&T Branded Note 4 to the Nexus 6, so far I don't miss much, I rarely used the S Pen, the Oxygen Sensor even less, and my Gear Live has a Heart Rate Monitor. I think the Nexus 6 looks pretty sexy myself The Nexus 6 from T-Mobile comes unlocked and bloat free, and is easily bootloader unlocked and rooted, two things the AT&T Note 4 still can't do.
Today is my first day with nexus 6 at work so far smooth ass response and loving it ..I'm in wall street so texted and a lot of emails and messages been 2 hours it is 93%
Is this another epic Note 4 vs Nexus 6 thread in disguise?
Call in the boys @regime2008 @TonyM77 @pierrekid
would like to see what more of you guys have to say.. Im trying to decide which phone out of the N6 Note 4 and one plus one
Went from Nexus 5, gave the Nexus 6 a shot, and ultimately settled on the Note 4 (while keeping the Nexus 5 because it's still an amazing phone and I didn't want to give up on pure Google goodness )
I won't drag this thread into another "which phone is better" banter, just answering your question. Nexus 6 holds it own, Note 4 has a few bells and whistles that may or may not appeal. I've been a Nexus guy for years, and had never ventured into the Note series, so I decided to hold one of each for a while.
After running a SlimLP build on the Note 4, I can say that both the Nexus 6 and this one run Lollipop amazingly. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong w/ either purchase.
I came from note 4 after 2 weeks usage/experience. I had all note series. The only thing I miss is multi window. N6 is very speedy and yes 6' screen is so nice...
P.s I miss also Samsung keyboard with numeric row.

No its actually a legitimate thread ...so far NEXUS 6 is smooth and sexy
I mean you gotta love the way lollipop animate when you touch something
Its more smoother than my iPhone 6 plus holy cow.
Point of it is that note edge or note 4 is also best of the best
So it is confusing since I have 13 days left to play with it.
I do rmemeber tho yesterday when I was watching you tube I was watching 2k
And that's when I know and smile when you hear the stereo speakers and the big ass
Screen doing its thing the nexus way....
Also keep in mind also that note4 will get lollipop it could be sick ..and solve the touchwiz thing anyway 13 days to go
Thoughts?
Coming from the note 4 after a few months. Now 1 week into the Nexus and I love it. Knowing what I know now the nexus would be my first choice. Since I can't compare the two without people getting butthurt, I'll just say there is nothing i miss about the Note 4.

Coming from a note is totaly fine. However maybe its better to wait sucking lollipop first on the note 4 before comparing or pick another device. Snappys will run way smoother but if your on exynos, you wil enjoy more 64bts and full ART runtime as well. Besides that, its already time for next generation 810 soon. So therefore its worth waiting a while more to..
And no, im not gonna bash on the nexus 6 anymore, we had our fun..so did the nexus fanclub and finaly had the thread closed
I realy dont know what to pick coming from a note but the nexus 6...

If i had to pick today, the oneplus one 100% is the perfect phone for in between snappy 805 and 810. If you like buy a expensive note or nexus at this time....waste of money, better a 270 euro phone for now, wait a few months and get yourself that awesome snappy 810. The oneplus one is fast enough while waiting, running CM rom. Most 'bang for buck' phone ever...

my first android device was when i got the At&t note edge two weeks ago...after having it two days and realizing no root, no lollipop = nexus 6 for me. I HATE bloatware. having said that, the note edge IS extremely sexy but the [email protected] version is filled to the brim with b.s. take it as you will....

Got my s6 vr. First impression.

Ok so I own a Galaxy S6 Edge and I got my Gear VR from best buy and my brother shipped it to Dubai from US. Costed me alot more than you folks living in states. Original price is 199$. I used my friend's Gear VR for note 4 with it for first time too so i can also kinda tell the difference... Ok so my impressions are,
1- The picture quality is better than Note 4. Well way better to be honest. In note 4 the pixelization is alot more than the s6 version due to the higher resolution the s6 has. The movies in s6 VR I think is above 480, kinda similar to 720p if not exactly.
2- Build quality is superb. It is lighter as compared to the note 4 vr.
3- Watched movie for 2hrs straight, no heat issues too, maybe because of the built-in fan? Did not hear the fan running though. But phone was not as heated as I heard it would be. Room was normal temperature. AC was not on my face directly.
4- No fog at all whatsoever.
5- Plugged in the charger, with samsung fast charger and samsung original cable, battery was exactly the same when the movie started till the end, 2 hrs of use. It does not charge the phone but does not let it drain also.
6- Note 4 has a better FOV. In s6 vr the side of the screen has noticeable walls. This is one downgrade in my thoughts but you will be lost in the details and movie that it might not bother you like it did not to me.
Overall I think it is a huge improvement as compared to the N4 VR but just the FOV is not. But seriously that can be forgotten easily once youre in and all set.
Great review. I have been thinking for a while to jump into S6 since I don't like the lag existing in Note 4 system.
Now with this review for the VR. Might have made the decision easier.

If you don't have a G920F maybe the thread of melo_mx could help ?
