[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] radix00:
I just reset my Verizon Galaxy S4 after some time running with the Android 4.4.2 update. I was using the online data backup option through my Samsung account. The stock android 4.4.2 ROM comes S Health version 2.5.4.154 in it. I attempted to restore my data from the Samsung cloud but it failed saying there was a "network error." I could not find the Samsung Galaxy App store after the update so I followed this a droid life guide called "download: Samsung Apps Store With Access to Photo Editor, Wallet, and Others for the Verizon Galaxy S3" and installed the latest Galaxy Apps apk right from Samsung. After getting Galaxy Apps installed I logged into my Samsung account opened the store and clicked on purchases which detected that S Health needed to update. So I update S Health to 3.5.1.0693 and open it and it says I need to update HealthService to the latest (2.0.0.009) which I did. After launching the app it asked me if I wanted to restore my data which I said yes and it proceeded act like it was restoring it. It turns out it just nuked my data rather than restore it. It seems like I am SOL, unless you can get a previous version of your backup from Samsung. Anybody have any ideas? It really sucks because it was more than a year of data.

thanks..

what r u trying to say ? plz elaborate
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] UltraGamerHD:
Flash the original CM10 Kernel and you should be sorted!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] thoaithoai:
It was back to normal when I flash the original kernel But I want to flash that kernel :(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] UltraGamerHD:
Find another kernel, that one doesn't work!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] thoaithoai:
Others Same problem :(. Could you tell me: Have CM10 rom unlocked bootloader ?. My tipo can't type *#*#7378423#*#* in dialler, The numbers disappear after entering. What happened?
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
I think the original is better.
[Samsung Gear 2] Johny Jackson:
11

Samsung says "Increased connectivity, customization, and control" on their facebook site(samsungmobile)

I think it's better than original version.
[Samsung Gear 2] chuko303:
Its running tizen os. only apps will be from samsung store you cant even side load android apps if im mistakes then shoot I might get it myself. Does look nice better be less than 250
[Samsung Gear 2] calinormy:
Ip67, changable bracelet, hrm. I also read that will have dedicated mp3 player with output over Bluetooth so that's mean that will have a simple acces to internal memory to copy files from/to the warch. Maybe tiezen will be the challenge here and the compatibility with older devices. If original gear was announced with at least 1 day of battery and we get often 2 or 3 days maybe gear 2 will last at least 3 days on a charge. This will be good.
[Samsung Gear 2] CLARiiON:
+ 2-3x better batterylife (with a lower capacity battery). What's going on here?? Tizen being efficient than android, or something else?

+ Can work as a standalone music player

+ Better fitness options like Heart Rate sensor.

+ More powerful SOC.

+ IrLED (WatchON)

+ Gear 2 Neo is much lighter compared to gear. Also no camera in Neo (good for those who don't want to spend on cam)

+ Same old screen, I keep this as positive because I had a feeling they would switch to those Mirasol or other 'bad' displays just to conserve battery.

+ Much better cam position.

+ IP67
[Samsung Gear 2] aznmode:
I think it's an improvement overall. If they've increased video recording time then I don't care if it's tizen. It's really the only reason I use custom rom. I have a feeling I'm going to upgrade just for the water resistant and being able to change bands. From the pictures it looks like any watch straps can be used. I still can't tell if the speaker is on the strap. I'm hoping not.
[Samsung Gear 2] system.img:
I read somewhere that it has interchangable straps.

Also, there's no speaker on the strap.

Here are some press images for everyone: http://www.engadget.com/gallery/samsung-gear-2-and-gear-2-neo-press-images/2442684/#!slide=2442684
[Samsung Gear 2] sohebq:
It is water resistant, not water proof.

[Samsung Gear 2] aznmode:
You're right. That was a typo

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

I was looking at similar pics and I didn't see it but I can't tell where on the watch the speaker is.
[Samsung Gear 2] gidi:
My thoughts are here: http://www.notjusthitech.com/2014/02/the-gear-twins-are-official.html

The speaker is on the watch itself. If you look at the orange one you cannot miss it.
[Samsung Gear 2] aznmode:
I assume it's next to the camera? I still can't spot it clearly. But hopefully Fomey can hack the ish out of it. Or maybe port tizen on the current galaxy gear so we can have longer battery life.
[Samsung Gear 2] system.img:
I know it is a bit tough to see, but I think that this is the speaker
[Samsung Gear 2] calinormy:
Ip67 means... No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight) plus Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion. So we can make a bath with gear 2.......
[Samsung Gear 2] fletch33:
i guess better battery life than Stock would be a jump and the increased to 1GHz dual core means they probably arent changing it at all just turning it up which we can already do ourselves.

right now i get an easy 3 days on null and can run at 1.6GHz dual core ikf needed so battery and processor dont impress me on Gear 2.

with the standalone MP3 player and heart rate monitor i would ASSUME that i can now run without my phone and the Gear will connect to my BT headphones directly? this would be worth upgrading for.

if there truly is no Android option then i will not be an early adopter on this update though since i have seen what Sammy has in their store and i dont care for any of them and need my APK's to get it done right!
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
I hope they don't abandon the original.
[Samsung Gear 2] sohebq:
Won,t it look weird to take photos with front facing camera. I mean you have to turn your hand to take photo or there is another camera too like in GG1?

[Samsung Gear 2] smokestack76:
Thats what i wonder. Would be nice to get updates yet. Even though we are always last in the US!

Plus more apps would be nice....
[Samsung Gear 2] hackfree:
I have the same question
[Samsung Gear 2] AstroDigital:
Wait and see, but I see no reason so far to spend $300 on one of these.
[Samsung Gear 2] gidi:
Me too. I am wondering the same in my blog post from earlier today.

http://www.notjusthitech.com/2014/02/the-gear-twins-are-official.html
[Samsung Gear 2] Sepharite:
I can guarantee you the pricing. Premium one will be $319.99 while the Neo will be $279.99.

The neo looks better, sleeker, and more casual. But I'm so glad they removed the camera on the strap, and allow the strap to be removable. Day one for me, that's for sure. I'll sell off my Gear for $150 or whatever.
[Samsung Gear 2] JoeFCaputo113:
Good luck selling it for $150 lol.... bet you will get $100 max.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrbkkt1:
Good thing I only spent $135 on it brand new.
[Samsung Gear 2] hackfree:
I will not sell mine if I don't see first how the tizen works and what's the stand by time. And of course when the price drops.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrtramplefoot:
Am I the only one that thinks the neo looks like it has the camera and the regular one does not? It's been driving me crazy.
[Samsung Gear 2] operation_english:
Galaxy Gear 2 of what it looks like video
[Samsung Gear 2] Xyberdyne:
I doubt they intend normal photos taken with the cam. It's going to be for video chat. I also see the charging section is on the bottom meaning it probably still uses the terrible cradle charger.
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
That's the ir sensor they have now. My guess is for remote control stuff.
[Samsung Gear 2] @home:
Me too - I won't be buying the GG2
[Samsung Gear 2] fOmey:
I was expecting a leap, we only got a hop. :p

Its alright, its nice.. I would have to see more of it..

So the only differences between the models is the cameras ?
[Samsung Gear 2] highlordkram:
If you sell quickly maybe it will be a good price. Ebay had the Gear now for around $180 average, but many over $200.
[Samsung Gear 2] dieracks:
I like the new design. The move of the camera and speaker to the body was a great idea. The home/power button being moved to the bottom of the screen is awesome. I hate having the button on the side of the watch, it can be difficult to grab sometimes. And the swappable bands.. yes!

If the price is right there might be a gear 2 in my future.
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
Now it really reminds me of the watches in the early 90s that had remotes and calculatorrs on them.
[Samsung Gear 2] dieracks:
LOL :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] fletch33:
it wouldnt surprise me that our Gears could see Tizen as well in a future update. we have 512 ram and probably same processor since we know ours is actually a 1.6GHz dual core so its possible.
[Samsung Gear 2] ronfurro:
MSRP Guess:

GG2 $299

NEO $199
[Samsung Gear 2] Brendo:
Will be interesting to see how the camera location effects functionality

Disappointed there is still no wifi (hopefully achieved via gear manager instead ala glass app)

Not hugely fussed on gps, but I'd love to be able to use the watch independent of the phone

Tizen will hopefully be lightweight and add lots of benefit battery wise
[Samsung Gear 2] Sepharite:
It's still being sold for $200 now online. 150 seems slightly reasonable, but I don't mind going to $130 since I only paid around there.

Give me bluetooth music player and I'm sold!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] gidi:
For me the (possible) lack of GPS is a deal breaker. It could be a great device for training, especially with the HR sensor. It is such a shame to handicap it.

Also, as i have discussed in my blog, the camera placement looks kind of weird. Smth between front facing and rear facing.
[Samsung Gear 2] teegunn:
Would love to have GPS and WIFI. Big mistake if they leave that stuff off the new Gear.
[Samsung Gear 2] xManMythLegend:
Meh...once again it comes down to pricing. Anything over 200 just isn't worth it especially now with oddly placed camera and Tizen.

Only legit improvement in appearance for me is the button on the front.
[Samsung Gear 2] therealduckie:
Although I will wait and see what we can do with it...I'm shocked so many of you are willing to ditch Android in favor of an unproven OS. I say 'unproven' because no watch has ever run Tizen, that I know of. Even if they have, they are surely not as proven as Android.

Also, I'm not convinced the camera will be as easy to operate in that position.

Nope, I am sticking with my old GG and fomey's amazing work on null. Happy to do so.
[Samsung Gear 2] hurdlejade:
i think i'll pass on this generation.

nothing stunning, and as experience taught me - wait few months after the release. Gear 1 is still pretty abandoned if it comes to stock. SDK still has not been released.

I'd rather wait for another smartwatch, like from Google or something.
[Samsung Gear 2] danyvw:
For me is the answer is simple: Tizen??? Not Android??? No Gear2. As simple as that. Sorry Samsung,
[Samsung Gear 2] AstroDigital:
I would never buy a used watch .... the thought of wearing it is disgusting.

My thoughts on price will be $300 for the Gear 2, $250 for the Gear 2 Neo

The Galaxy Gear while you can buy the will soon go for $150

I know for some reason I do not understand price think a smart watch should cost $100 or less.

That is crazy, the last Timex I bought cost $100.

A smart watch does more than just tell time.

The Gear 2 will replace a fitness band they cost $100 - $150.

$300 for the Gear 2 is not too expensive, it just is not enough of an upgrade for me to buy one now.

The only reason it will not sell is if Samsung once again says to use a Gear 2 you need, Galaxy S3/4 (S5) or a Note 2/3

This is what made me mad about the Galaxy Gear, want to sell that Note 3? ..... well unless you are ready to hack your non Samsung device may as well throw away your Galaxy Gear.
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
Just wait 2 more months there will be a Gear 3.
[Samsung Gear 2] chuko303:
Found this Video guys check it out! Looks really Nice! In Person it will look amazing. Notice in the video how sick it is?! So slim. super slim compared to the last one! Im so getting it!

[Samsung Gear 2] maximus96:
doesn't look any slimmer than the gear1...
[Samsung Gear 2] jutley:
The infrared interest me can control many devices.
[Samsung Gear 2] chuko303:
You own one? If you do then get hour eyes checked. Thats what I thought till I saw the video. Its slimmer compared to the first one not to mention it has the speaker on ut. Get your eyes Checked m8 might rethink who you married haha
[Samsung Gear 2] hackfree:
I would prefer if they had upgrade the camera... It is slimmer than gear1 but not crazy slim. Depending on the price if it cost 300 then it's bull****. I will keep my gear1 unless a null rom or an android port comes to the gear. I am not going to be the first to test tizen. By the time they make apps for it we will have the gear 3 already out. If I hear about compatibility problems and only few phones support I will never buy a gear again in my life

I hate so much Samsung for trying to make me buy a Samsung phone just to use the damn watch.

+ design

+speaker position

+camera position

+removable straps

-tizen because it's early. Sounds like bada joke but maybe I am wrong

-price if 300

-2 versions (really Samsung?)

-copycats (pebble 2 versions and own market. Even s5 they copy fingerprint scanner of iPhone )

-would have liked better design. Same screen and same camera resolution... Where is the damn flex screens...
[Samsung Gear 2] BlackZenith:
Offloading the camera/mic to the watch face and allowing bands to be swapped was all I needed to hear. I thought the original Gear was good, but I'm glad I returned it to wait for the Gear 2.
[Samsung Gear 2] jutley:
I have gear 1 with null and recovery connected to a sony z ultra phone all working good.But if I am to get gear two it would have to be free with the GS5 or I won't bother paying outright for it.
[Samsung Gear 2] DKYang:
I will buy it depending on the price. I just find it funny how people think Samsung using Tizen on a watch is the end of the world. Time to look at the smart watch market guys, the "successful" ones are proprietary OSs. I can only see Google making a successful Android watch if it ever happens.
[Samsung Gear 2] TopDogg1:
Samsung didn't copy the fingerprint from apple...Motorola had the fingerprint scanner on the Motorola Atrix 4-5 years ago...I had an Atrix and that scanner worked flawless for me. Apple fanboys don't talk crap if u don't know your facts
[Samsung Gear 2] BlackZenith:
I also thought it laughable when an article mentioned that Sammy was trying to stay ahead of Apple's iWatch by incorporating more fitness-oriented features in the Gear 2. Read here --> "...fear of the incoming iWatch..."
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
Gear fit??
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
Well, nothing about still supporting the original gear.
[Samsung Gear 2] fletch33:
looks like Fit with Gear i have now for me. that may change but with Android on this one the fit would be nice for workout etc.. and Gear 1 for wearing around town.
[Samsung Gear 2] Sepharite:
2 versions is fine, as long as the prices are substantially different. Like Neo is 200, and Gear 2 is 280.

Not sure what you mean by copycating two version. Pebble has an old version and a new version, they never released two versions at the same time. Not sure why this is considered "copy-cat" but ok.

The design is better in their way possible - smaller, better wrist comfort, screen is great already -- nothing to change. More resolution doesn't matter since the screen is small already.

Flex screens is in the Gear Flex?
[Samsung Gear 2] fbueller:
Samsung sends me my hardware for free, so I'll get the new one automatically...but I think I might stay on the original Gear. I like Android and null very well, but with the move to Tizen the app store for the original Gear will not have new apps any longer. So it's a dying abandoned product, which pisses me off.

Those of you staying on the original Gear need to be aware that what's in the app store right now is most likely all you're ever going to get.
[Samsung Gear 2] hsj1906:
Well, the Gear 1 is 10 mm thick, the Gear 2 is 10 mm thick, and the Gear Neo is 10 mm thick; so maybe you need to have your eyes checked and rethink who you are married to!!!! LOL!!!!!
[Samsung Gear 2] chuko303:
Yo fiacee assss is slimmer bud :)
[Samsung Gear 2] Ryland Johnson:
Just out of curiosity how many of you guys and gals have ever used the Gear to make or receive a phone call? Had mine since day one and only ever used it for that purpose just once. For me the idea of speaking into a watch and having others hearing the caller is a large no-no.

I waited for the gear to come as I wanted this very option. To me it one of those desires I wished for and regretted it.

I like my gear BUT I am selling it favour of the cheaper Sony Smart watch 2. Regarding the gear 2 I have no idea why Tizen was chosen as the OS and no idea what Tizen is. I do know that there has been issues with developers not making apps for the gear on Android, how Tizen will be better I have zero knowledge about that.

The gear 2 is not going to make me rush out and purchase it as I did the Gear. This type of technology is still very much in its infancy and the cost of the gear was expensive for what was beta technology. Not going to make that mistake again.

I have purchased the SBH52 and for MY needs it is a far better option as a phone call accessory than the Gear. I totally respect we all have different needs and desire our devices to perform in different areas. The initial high over the Gear has passed.

I ponder what the cost is going to be with both these new watches? :confused:

Best wishes to you all,

Ryland
[Samsung Gear 2] AstroDigital:
Samsung lies they told us there be 60 apps at launch optimized for the Galaxy Gear, what is there now about two dozen?

....but it runs Android and you know it is very easy to sideload apps on to the Gear.

Finding Apps that work well on a small screen that is a different story.

I can not see programmers to developing apps for a Tizen based watch the market is too small.

I like the looks of the Galaxy Fit though..... and when I see the price I maybe tempted.
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
How did you score that gig?

Any one else feel like samsung just took a nice warm dump on those of us that went and got this thing when it first came out?

Yes, i know thats what we get for being early adopters but i had faith that sammy would do what they just did. They messes up bad and just walked away lol samsung is a quitter.
[Samsung Gear 2] fbueller:
Samsung has a program for celebrities and their management to get them all the newest hardware. I work at an agency and rep celebs, so they take good care of me. I come from the tech industry originally, so I can appreciate it - I usually instruct them on how to root the hardware and hack it up. This industry is great, I've been given a Pebble and Toq also, although I focus on the Gear.
[Samsung Gear 2] BarryH_GEG:
I do - a lot. But not for shoot-the-crap lengthy conversations. If I get a call and am running through an airport I'll answer it and qualify it. If the answer's a sentence or two I'll take and finish the call on the Gear. If it's War and Peace I'll pull out my phone and continue the call there. If it's neither I'll tell the caller (using the Gear) I'll call them back when I have time. Talking to your wrist is no more or less offensive than talking in to thin air on an ear-based BT headset. I'll initiate calls from my Gear and then continue them by transferring the call to my phone. Different strokes. ;)

You are correct.

[Samsung Gear 2] NiHaoMike:
It's a 1.6GHz dual core with one core disabled by default and capped to 800MHz. I suspect the new one might use the same chip with less "handicap", but we won't know for sure until someone does a teardown.
[Samsung Gear 2] greaet:
Now that's interesting. Does that mean the Devs can unlock the other core and make it a dual core one? (Sorry, I know this is a stupid ques, just curious).
