This is an international site and as such we ask that others don't bring up political/national issues unless they are relevant to the topic.

The petition against the merger is as it has very significant impacts; what I edited out of a post doesn't.

There are plenty of other sites to get your jolly on if you want to do the political thing.

Thank you.
[Samsung Gear 2] sniickers:
Let me say first I am a Samsung fanboy. But we all who adopted the gear 2 should come together to sue Samsung for a faulty product. After scanning over many pages of issues we are having with the gear 2 around application installs which seem to be based on some roulette wheel of success of an app will install or not, battery issues, having to do numerous factory resets, and with an even bigger slap to the face, bringing out another watch yet again in about 3 months. We have been sold on crap that we can't even take back. Clearly there is a product or software issue where many people have the same phones, many with stock Roms even on same carriers having mismatched results on app installs. Also while using Samsung phones. I believe this is a shot in the gut to the overall care that Samsung has for its customers. Which doesn't look good as we get in this viscous cycle of new this of what we sold you just a few months ago even though what we originally sold you we still haven't been fixed. Spending 200 plus for a digital watch with some really nice features doesn't justify inconsistency of product or a faulty os. We need to send a message to Samsung that this is not acceptable. And the biggest thing that has even impacted me, I have bought several apps that will not successfully install and I am no able to get a refund for. And this has happened to many people. We surely would be all over apple or any other maker if these things where going on. Yes Samsung makes great products that we love to have, but this watch and trend is totally unacceptable!
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
I would add to this claims for false advertisement about available apps. Example: Runtastic, mentioned in all the press releases as launch partner, still doesn't have a Gear 2 compatible app.

Also, cleverly planted hints for non-Samsung device support, which pushed many people with unsupported devices to buy the watch. Does anyone really think now this will ever happen?
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
I have no faults worth suing over plus you cold always just return the product no one forced you to keep the device I kean it isnt even a year old .why people love to sue if a big company like apple is in court for years how far you think wed get wake up and stop complaining.

Fleksy is currently vaporware as well.

While the Gear 2 line has been pretty popular, for what it is, it functions. It's the extra stuff that's the problem. Hardware is sound and the built-in software works (ymmv). Everything else is just gravy. I think the only way it would have traction if the hardware or built-in software had significant problems. The only thing I've installed is watchfaces, so to me, it's fine how it is. However, I do know that people are getting pretty fed up with not having access to the things everyone else does. I guess I'm just on the fence on it.

Well if everyone thought like you, nothing would ever get better and more people will get screwed over. If you are cool excepting just anything continue on till you personally get screwed. Don't worry I will be sympathetic to your situation. Next time I suggest you fully read before commenting. This comment was for diamantirecos.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Yeah so I read again just to please you and I stand by my comment .if you have the time and money to try to sue a giant like samsung go ahead. Plus if its faulty just factory reset and sell on ebay simple. And like I said we are early users is a new device what do you expect. But at the end of the day all users are different some issues some not. Thats life and I really can care less. I have better advice for you go get leagal advice about if you even have a case .

Umm yea many mayor net source articles also state that mostly everything doesnt really work. What a shame because the hardware is up to par but the software not so much.

I hate to say this, but Runtastic Pro IS available for the Gear 2!
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
[MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION]: you're in Austria, right? The problem is it's not available anywhere else... I'm sick and tired trying to reach out to Runtastic and get a clear answer when the heck it's going to be available for everyone else.

Edit: sorry, just noticed you're from Netherlands. So it's available there too. What the f... is going on with Runtastic? Why can't they release the freaking app worldwide?
[Samsung Gear 2] slaydog:
I'm perfectly happy with my watch, and thanks to these forums I knew exactly what I was getting before I bought it .

If I didn't like it, I would take it back.

I know these watches don't do half of what they will do in a year or two, but in the meantime at least I have a toy to play with. And thanks to XDA, it's a fun pastime for a nerd like me. And for $150 for the Neo, I really can't complain.
[Samsung Gear 2] raiu:
I just came from the Galaxy gear, although i would like to file a suite for getting 2 defective galaxy gears with bad cameras and making me pay the diffrence for the new watch.

Coming from the original gear the only thing I don't like about the gear 2 is the weak vibration. The sound is louder when on a call, charging is much easier, you can change the bands although I can't find any locally or even in the US for that matter. I think Samsung should have given previous gear owners something 20 app store credit something to that effect.
[Samsung Gear 2] ampm325:
I hear ya, I had the gear2 and switched to the Neo and like not having the camera liability.

It is a nice toy and does what I need for now, but I can't wait til the watch has its own sim. Would be nice not having to carry a phone around everywhere. I frequently answer calls and spritz thru my email while my phone sits in my briefcase.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
You just have to find a band that fits its not a special band . Take ot to the watch store and ask the sales person.

[Samsung Gear 2] haydonraffles:
I do not agree with you. If the device IS faulty, samsung should be responsible.
[Samsung Gear 2] bubblebuddyi:
Perfectly happy here. None of these problems I've read.. Except for battery life. But I use the exercise part at least an hour a day so that probably drains it a bit.
[Samsung Gear 2] diamantericos:
Simple way to improve battery life. 1. Turn off wake up motion. Theres no need to have your wach wake everytime you raise your hand. 2. Put the screen off time to 5 sec. 3. Lower brightness to 2.. thats should give you about 3 days . But honestly you could charge yor watch every night its not a big deal I mean who sleeps with a watch anyway. With these setting I dont im not a power user lol. But you know what these watch is alot more useful than a $8900 plus rolex that only tells time.

[Samsung Gear 2] BarryH_GEG:
Without even commenting on your issues, here's what you can expect. The LG G2x had major problems related to its battery circuitry which were proven by a third-party engineer. It affected almost all the phones T-Mobile sold. I had one, I know. Legal action was threatened starting in early 2011 and a class action suit was filed mid year. The case settled in December 2013. Everyone got $19 but I'm sure the lawyers got amply compensated.

So carry on Norma Rae. Keep in mind Samsung's lawyers are probably tougher and more plentiful than LG's. And in the G2x's case there were real demonstrated issues.
[Samsung Gear 2] rlee008:
wow.... LG settled out for a whopping $19 per each affected user and the "issues" still didn't get fixed.

you gotta love how some people's first reaction is to SUE when something doesn't quite work the way they think.... everyone has an itch i guess

good luck with this half baked idea.... im sure there's a bunch of clauses within the EULA that protect companies from these types of people.

you know that little part of new software that states "check here if you agree to the terms and conditions within" and you do without actually spending 6 days reading it? well there you go.
[Samsung Gear 2] sniickers:
Some of you and your posts are kind of sad of your general overall lack of concern for what is an legitimate problem. A prime example of how the larger group crushes the smaller and supported by few in the pockets. I would not be surprised if you have a vested interest in Samsung or the watch itself. I personally don't wish to spend my time addressing the flawed thinking you show with your comments and how it directly relates to how we have simple violation of consumer producer relationship. If you have had a good experience, I am glad for you. Go start your own thread ayn share. We all got our own opinions, but save them for an appropriate thread that reflects it. I would rather keep this thread clean and not garbled up with useless statements of why you disagree with clearly a legitimate concern of a faulty product that has affected many people.

Might I also mention what I forgot to mention in my previous post, ever since I downloaded some application, don't know which one. Because I have reset both my phone and watch several times and flashed all 3 firmwares for the gear 2. But when my watch is on and connected to my phone anytime I get a call my phone automatically answers. Only when the gear is connected. I thoroughly checked and troubled shooted ever gesture based and auto answer feature on the gear 2 and my phone and even turned them all off. This is a very serious liability concern for me being I work in a multi billion dollar business in which very sensitive information could be leaked and place myself as well as my company in a serious litigation suit. Needless to say I cannot use the watch in my work environment anymore at least connected to my phone, which for now makes in my work environment my watch a over glorified digital watch which cannot function as it was sold and bought to do. Being myself a day one adopter and purchaser of the gear, returning it is not an option nor am I willing to reset it and sell it on eBay to be an issue for someone else as previously suggested. The overall lack of consideration of this matter and suggesting I should dump it on someone else is a prime example of how things like this continue to happen. I feel sorry for any of you who may happen to get taken advantage of and not find any assistance. But I assume you'll just dump it off on someone else instead of making the 'causer' accountable. Smh.
[Samsung Gear 2] Compusmurf:
Snickers, what phone are u using and is it stock os? Most of the folks who are NOT using custom roms are working exactly as designed. Mine has worked flawless on my Note 3 rooted stock. No real mods to the phone. If you are not stock and you are not on compatible phone, no lawyer would even consider your case. Using outside of design parameters is instant dismissal from any court in a case like this. Now for the other person wanting to hit Samsung because of aftermarket software companies NOT delivering, you have to take action against them, unless any of those companies are wholly-owned by Samsung themselves. Either case, you would be hard pressed to find a litigation team willing to attempt this.
[Samsung Gear 2] sniickers:
I agree it would be a hard task to get a litigation team to take on the task, thats why I came here with this thread to see how many more legitimate issues others are having and if similar to show as evidence of a mass product failure. I honestly recognize at the end of the day, this may never gain sufficient traction. But if that may be, I hope it will develop another attention to get back to Samsung there is clearly an issue with their product. I am currently indispute with my cc company to reverse the charges for apps I bought that wont install on my gear also since I have had no success in getting reimbursed from Samsung for them, since they are sold in their app store. Now I have considered the possibility that my rom which is not stock may be a cause for issue. I am using the most recent jedi rom which I installed fresh and correctly and never had any issues. But initially I did go to the thread for the developer to see if there was any established issues using it with the gear. I believe the response was a lol, by a poster. That tread is not too engaging I should say. So I did move along since I did have several apps that did install correctly and the basic core functionally of my gear did work. I really have been hesitant on going back to stock on my tmobile note 3 to confirm, but it would be the last thing i can do to confirm if this is the root cause of my issues. So I will give in and go back stock and try and see if I get any success. Thanks for your response also.
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
As far as I can see, this page appears on a Web site that officially belongs to Samsung. It clearly states, that the apps listed there have been available TODAY, which was on Mar 30th. In fact, many of them (Runtastic, Fleksy etc.) are not available even today, 2.5 months later. What is it if not false advertising?
[Samsung Gear 2] highlordkram:
Love my watch too. Am in USA and all working out great. Things Samsung, Android or Apple could Always be better, but I get great use out of my Gear 2, and my son loves his Gear 1 on Tizen now.
[Samsung Gear 2] Compusmurf:
Mpogr, notice that site says 'starting' today, which is rather open ended. When it comes to legality, starting is open ended with NO end date. Did it start showing up on or around that date? Yes, therefore you wont have a case. Yes, it's all about semantics. As for op, back up your rom, install totally stock and most of your issues will probably go away. Samsung's lawyers would have your case ripped apart and tossed immediately because you are using user designed rom that is NOT certified by Samsung.

Could things be better? Yeah, I have a list of cool things I would like to see. Automatic sleep tracking, better vibration, etc, but that doesn't make it defective out of the box. All core functionality does work as advertised. Henceforth no litigation team would be willing to help since you cannot prove that its not your custom rom that caused your issues.

Btw, I do NOT work for Samsung nor any of its affiliates. I have no vested interest in them other than I have a Note 3 and Gear 2.
[Samsung Gear 2] mpogr:
Mate, I'm not talking about things that could have been better. My only complaint and anger is around FALSE ADVERTISING regarding available apps. Samsung is LYING about this in its official publications, and these lies triggered some people, including myself, to buy Samsung hardware and pay hard earned money just to find out the next day the apps they were planning to use with it were not actually available. And guess what, these apps are not available even now, 2.5 months after the launch!

As for the "open-ended statement", the quote from this page reads "Currently available Gear 2 apps include: ...". Is there any open-ended interpretation to that statement?
[Samsung Gear 2] BarryH_GEG:
People have way too much time on their hands and apparently place little value on it. First, the terms of use you agreed to when you initialized your Gear are probably littered with disclaimers, indemnifications for Samsung, and the waiving of user's rights. Same goes for the Samsung website which I'm sure has a "subject to change" clause in its T&C. Second, this is a $299 watch. If you're unhappy and can't return it you could probably net $199 on eBay. You'll have lost $100 and can be done with Samsung and the Gear for ever. Or you can spend the equivalent of thousands of dollars worth of your time, suffer enormous amounts of aggravation, and pick up $20 after a class action lawsuit settles two years from now. I'm all for principle and standing up to the man but I also pick my battles. This is a fruitless battle.
[Samsung Gear 2] rlee008:
Amen! my point exactly
[Samsung Gear 2] BarryH_GEG:
If you're serious about this, instead of wasting your energy convincing the 5% of Gear 2 owners on XDA they've been victimized, you should be looking online for attorneys specializing in class action litigation with a focus on consumer electronics.

The page also clearly states:
[Samsung Gear 2] sniickers:
So I went back to stock, rooted. I have tested just about every app and can say it was definitely the custom ROM I was using (Jedi ROM) that was the cause for my issues. Every app I could find installed and worked correctly. The auto answer stuff stopped also. I am back to enjoying my quality Samsung products again. Plus I was able to get the newest ne6 software. Now I will try the Colonelx kernel. If that works I will be good to go. Thanks for the input of those who spoke with understanding. I'll report back if any issues with the kernel.
[Samsung Gear 2] Compusmurf:
I'd say I told you so, but absolutely no need, as you now get to feel how well this device actually does work. Over time I expect more improvements. Rooted my watch already ONLY to remove camera sounds, otherwise no real reason. Still loving mine. Be careful with exercise apps that constantly run and keep bluetooth alive and active, as it will suck your battery dry quickly.

I'm very happy with my Gear 2 and Galaxy S 5. No issues, love the feature, had it since launch day.

I work as a landscaper and my Gear 2 is always covered in dirt and mud, every single day, but I wash it daily and it's held up pretty well.

Now will root and the ability to mute the stupid camera sounds, it's even better.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

If this phone had a decent enough camera I would care about the lack of HDR on the GPE rom. Gladly I don't.

I think it improves the quality of the photos vastly in the stock apps. Obviously you can pay for a heavier app with propietary HDR algorithms, but at the expense of more resources usage (and money). Still I've tried other HDR capable cameras and are slower (3s or so per photo) than this native HDR support (roughly 1s per photo).

Simply speaking they are the supporting files for apps to perform
