Do you really think Samsung would release the gear 2 3 months after releasing the original gear? I say AT LEAST 6 months before another one is released.

Yes , apparently Samsung is working on another.
Either rumor can be true or false.
A. A cheaper version without the camera and maybe other sacrifices.
B. Another version with an updated UI possible flexible display.

Yeh they though it was flop

The fact that they are working on a gear 2 means nothing in terms of launching date. It can be starting the design for all we know. No reason to believe on a jan launch. At least I don't think it's going to happen.

I also heard they are planning to release one not too far off the original's launch. I don't remember where I saw that tho.

They always overlap development to allow regular releases. But the Gear is still their "first"

Stupid rumors going around about S5, Note 4, Gear 2... they're not releasing new stuff just a few months later, not happening. The nearest blip on the radar is probably S5 with a Spring 2014 release.

There was a rumour a few weeks ago where a Samsung source said they were looking to move the Gear 2 release up to January in response to the negative feedback on the Gear.
Whether that's true or not remains to be seen.
I'm keen to get the Gear, but the recent issues with moisture in the camera lens is putting me off. I live in Thailand, so humidity is an issue, plus I'm frequently going from humid outside to cold air conditioned indoors.
Plus, I sweat a lot...
I think I'll wait to see whether the lens moisture is a problem in more humid climates and if it is, wait for Gear 2.

KitKat and Gear

From my reading KitKat, is designed to work on devices with as little as 512 kb of RAM, has bluetooth improvements.
For these reasons would it not be in Samsung's interest to upgrade the Gear to KitKat?
It is not a phone and so Samsung does not need carrier approval, they can just update the firmware.
When do you think a upgrade will happen?
I am thinking maybe 3 or 4 months, my guess.

Doubt it,
Upgrade cycles are about a year.
Anything less angers people.
The device is just about perfect anyway, nothing new they can do, but at the end of the day it does not matter Samsung can still and should keep up to date existing "New" products.
You buy a Gear in November and in January, Samsung says sorry it is obsolete ??
I think that would anger a few people, myself included.

Bro thinking about it. They have more returns. Then people buying them. There will be a gear 2. Soon. With Google and apple coming out with one. Samsung will not keep themselves in the dark.

I say nothing from Apple until at least May. Same for the Gear 2. I'd like to see 4.4 on this watch. The watch we have has the ability to do more. It's just a matter of updating software.

Doubt the return thing.
PC Magazine says 30%, high granted but more reason to clamp down and give us a update.

Ordered Gear 2 Neo from AT&T

Ordered the Gear 2 Neo from AT&T. I skipped the first generation. Eventually got a pebble and kind of liked it except for lack of color and the light plastic feel. Supposedly they will ship on the 8th.... hope so. I will give my initial unboxing impressions when I receive it. I will be curious what custom things can be done after a few devs get a look at it.

I've had mine since Friday and had the pebble before that. Night and day difference between the pebble and this. Loving it (so far)

No. For emails it only shows the first line or two of the message, and then you have the option of getting it to open the rest on your phone.

I ordered the Gear 2 Neo in black as well - looks nice in that pic! Does the heart-rate sensor work decently? I kinda got it for the fitness aspects, even though I'm not sure how often I will use them or how useful they will be :silly:

Remote is good. As far as can tell all I can do is power, volume and change channels (up/down). Don't think I can bring up the directv Guide or dvr but still messing with it.
Update: Threw is a keypad when you swipe the remote so you can key in channel number.

IMO it'll probably come out a few weeks after the S7 is released so i'm leaning towards sometime in April........

The day before root is established for 5.1 branches. Downgrade from 6 will not be possible.

Tomorrow

Since S7 is confirmed to MM, I would say one month after the S7 release so mid April for the S6.

I just had an update but it wasn't for marshmallow ?

I saw this on reddit earlier. I don't know how trustworthy this is so take it with a grain of salt. But (big but here) reps don't usually give out dates cause they never know themselves. Maybe it means something, maybe not, we'll see...

Huawei Android update policy

Hey
I am fed up with the battery life (or lack of) of my Nexus 5X.
My fiance did pretty much the same but has a Huawei P9 lite.
By 9pm id already had to charge my battery! Yet she still had 30% left. We have same apps running, FB for example, I have push notifications off she doesn't. Same location settings only difference is I have NFC on for Android Pay.
Has anyone had a N5X and now a P9? Is the battery better?
Also, whats the Huawei Android update policy for the P9? I don't want a phone that by next year they wont do anymore updates.
Cheers

Choose ultra power saving mode in settings under battery.. your Huawei P9 will last few days in one charge....

How about the update policy? Do they guarantee updates for a few more years?

2 years updates for certain. Nougat is planned to be launched within next 2 months.
