[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
I spent over 2 hours last nite with att reps trying to enable numbersync to work between the s3 and s8 phones.. the s8 phone is an unlocked phone (not bought through att), only to find out today via another rep that the phone must be bought via ATT or truly att branded.. which i find a bit absurd, as i think others have succeeded..

Is this really the case.. anyone know or have this same experience?

Specifically this error would appear after going through the get started via the watch then on the phone (after creating a seperate accessid):

Oh darn! We can't enable device syncing on this phone. Want to find out more? Call us at 800.331.0500 so we can help.

(MSSITWINREL12)

If this turns out to really be an unlocked phone issue (which is a bit ridiculous), i think i read that it might be possible to take my sim card out of that phone and put in another phone that is att branded, enable number sync then put the card back in my s8 and go from there

Thanks

The phone does not have to be AT&T branded, I have a T-Mobile Note 4 and until the last update numbersync worked. Updated my S# over the weekend after avoiding it for as long as possible, and now numbersync is no longer an option on my S3.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
Thanks for the reply.. your saying you had an unlocked tmobile phone on att and it was working till a recent tizen update then?

The rep further told me to take the phone to the best buy samsung experience store and have it flashed with the att firmware to get around this issue.. maybe not needed then? (which i assume means a wipe and possibly lose my unlock)
[Samsung Gear S3] karlkarloff:
I had the same problem with my Gear S3 and my Axon 7. Worked on for a solid hour with an ATT rep in store and another hour on phone with someone else. Finally it was determined that it wouldn't work on an unlocked phone. Haven't tried the sim swap with an ATT branded device yet, but if I do, I'll let you know if it works.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
Spoke to an att rep again today who called me.. basically in my case the 950U1 s8 phone.. because its this model it wont work with numbersync they say.. they also contradicted the previous reps suggestion of taking the phone to the samsung experience place and having the att firmware flashed on it (or doing it at home).. saying it wont help.. that they need HD voice provisioned and it wont let them provision it (the phone wont).. they said swapping the sim card to a real att phone only may help for a short period, till the system does a sweep, sees a non att phone and reverts it (same with just adding the imei to the database).. There is also a good chance the recent update to either the s3 or the samsung s8 caused numbersync to do a detection for unlocked phones and not allow this (they indicated).

They said i could still try doing the firmware flash but it probably wouldnt work (i dug around online trying to find out which flash it would be and i didnt get too far, short of going to the store to do it at best buy samsung experience)

Really sucks, as the alternative, if i were that desperate to enable this feature (i dont think i am willing to go this far) would be to sell the old phones and get new att branded ones.. end up costing me the price of a new watch in the mix just to do that
[Samsung Gear S3] pasco8525:
.

When I first bought the watch it was for the numbersync feature. My first problem was even though the Samsung rep and the bestbuy rep said that it would work with my Note3, it did not. took several calls and many hours of trying to figure out the HD Voice (VOlte) provisioning. Bought a TMobile Note 4, rooted and rom'ed this worked to setup numbersync. the only problem was it would occasionally turn off numbersync, this occurred about once a month. Then if failed completely said that this line is not accceptabl;e for numbersync. this was after about six months. Discovered that it appeared to be age of firmware related, I was on a TM firmware that was several updates out of date. When I odin flashed the latest firmware numbersync worked again until the recent update to 3.0.0.1 on the gear firmware. Now I have the line not acceptable for numbersync again. I'm going to try to update firmware again to see if that works. If not I will probably look to change carriers to TM. will cost the price of a new watch, but will get me out of AT&Ts locked boot loader.

BTW, setting up numbersync on a different phone and switching back will not work, Tried several times and as soon as you turn on the phone that is not HD Voice capable with your SIM card in it the system sees it and turns off numbersync almost instantly. went throught that trying to get my Note 3 to work.

In all my experience the Samsung and AT&T reps were not a good resource. Numbersync does not appear to be a very popular feature and they do not know much about it.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
My main motivation for it has been that.. someone correct me if this isnt accurate.. if your phone dies or is off.. when you dial someone from the watch or text them it will still show the cell phone phone number, not the watch phone number as it does now if bluetooth isnt on.

I'm in the process of gathering the files i need to do the att firmware flash and hopefully hd voice works then (as others say it has).
[Samsung Gear S3] pasco8525:
Yes, that is the whole point of numbersync. The watch uses the phones number not it's own.

Tried updating to the latest firmware and a ROM based on it. No luck still get a rather comical response "Oh darn! We can't enable device syncing on this phone. " worked until the tisen update.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
There also seems to be confusion on numbersync with the att reps.. one person told me the watches dont need their own numbers.. that numbersync is all we need (but how would the watch make a call if the phone is off).. another said yes they need external numbers for number sync or solo

edit: i see your last post.. so the latest reps are correct then.... so they assigned us numbers and $10 access fees each with activation fees for no reason basically.. ugh
[Samsung Gear S3] pasco8525:
The watch has to have it's own number, that is it's address on the network. Without it numbersync would have no way to send calls to it. Same as with the LTE enabled iPads they could not make a call, but had to have an address on the cellular network.
[Samsung Gear S3] maddie01:
Just a quick note...i too spent 3 hours in an AT&T store trying to get numbersync to work..., finally returned the S3 Frontier cancelled the number in it and left frustrated...i now have a GS8 unlocked on AT&T through my work...that is synced to a Verizon Gear S3 Classic lte and i simply use call forwarding with YouMail. If i do not answer my phone after 3 rings it gets sent to my watch and if I still do not answer then Youmail picks it up..If I call out or text with the watch separately then I just let my customers know that I have 2 numbers 1 for my cell and one for their watch. I just don't think AT&T is ready for the Numbnersync technology yet and they just don't care enough to train their own people on it, sad as it is a good promise...
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
I meant phone number.. are you saying phone number? After the rep said i didnt need a phone number for each watch, she credited me back the cost of the two lines and said just to contact them that they would enable the numbersync once i had the phones ready.. I'm assuming number means imei, which they still have in the system.
[Samsung Gear S3] pasco8525:
Yes each watch has to have it's own phone number. I believe this is another case of AT&T rep not understanding number sync.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
I managed to firmware update so that i have the att bloatware (didnt even need reset, all software was kept).. i confirmed HD voice is working but WiFi calling throws an error to contact ATT.. hd voice was the key for numbersync.. however.. despite this.. and 2 hours on the chat line with ATT.. i still get an error when you do the s3's get started numsync and it opens the page on the phone.. the oops, device sync cant work with your phone (which went from a 950U1 to a 950U btw, which is good as well).. They escalated to another backend team, but i highly doubt they will get it working.. most likely they'll still complain that my phone (was) an unlocked phone, despite adding the att firmware to it.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
Update here.. i managed to get everything working by going with a new sim card.. wifi calling works now.. and i was able to complete numbersync setup.. the only remaining issue i have is that my callerid seems to be blocked on the receiving end.
[Samsung Gear S3] eaglerugby04:
With the Firmware did you have to go through the full process where you changed the CSC and flashed the ATT firmware? Currently I am running a Sprint phone that is unlocked an running the US Unlocked firmware. Even running the ATT firmware they still were not able to get HD Voice or WiFi calling working for me.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
The full steps, or mostly full.. are here in this thread..

The short of it was that i only ran regular odin at first.. just did HOME_CSC (using the verizon firmware which covers all carriers).. then rebooted the phone and did all the check boxes and the regular CSC.. after rebooting nothing was wiped and att bloatware was there... at this point hd voice was working.. wifi calling wasnt.. so i went to the store, got a new sim card today, then wifi calling was working.. numbersync took the code on the phone without error.. however.. now i'm realizing it isnt really working.. when i turned the phone off, and texted, it showed my s3 phone number.. and my callerid is still botched.. i think att botched something in this whole process.. so yet another call to them needed.
[Samsung Gear S3] eaglerugby04:
Thanks. It sounds like the latest firmware they did seems to fix some of the issues from bringing a non-ATT phone over but does not resolve everything. It looks like I won't be able to do this though. ATT and the ebay seller are unable to clear the ICCID on my watch, I have to sadly do a return now. :(
[Samsung Gear S3] enjoythemusic:
Kinda unrelated, yet ATT was horrible even for normal Sammy phone/watch. After dumping ATT service/hardware for various reasons a few moths back... Sammy watch/phone from Verizon hardware/service works flawlessly. Am carrier neutral, but one works reliably, one didn't.

BTW, Sammy pay via watch hiccuped via ATT at times, yet works flawless via Verizon.
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
well 5 chat people later they finally fixed the unknown callerid issue.. apparently there is an internal back end feature for numbersync regarding it set to active and on.. both toggles were on.. the rep removed the "on" and now my callerid shows my number when calling from my phone (and from the watch when watch is in solo mode too).. everything works! :laugh:
[Samsung Gear S3] maddie01:
Is this function/setting part of the phones account and number or part of the watches account/number ? And they said it was just a matter of turning the setting to on? Assume this is something they have to do in thier system?
[Samsung Gear S3] markm75:
Sorry I should have wrote that more clearly.. it was a backend account thing they had to fix on their end.. it was a matter of finding the right person who actually understood how their numbersync system worked at att i think.
[Samsung Gear S3] jgrob:
I have used Numbersync with my Gear S3 on two phones. Both were AT&T branded and have AT&T Sims.

Three requirements that I am aware of:

You must have an add-on account for the Gear with its own number.

The Gear must be made for AT&T as the SIM is builtin. I had to go to an AT&T (factory owned) to find someone who know how to provision that built in SIM. It is done OTA with some proprietary commands.

The Gear communication setting must be set to always on. (at least now.) I seem to remember that when I first got the Gear and using an older phone (Android 6.1) when I call came into the phone with the Gear close and the mobile set to auto, a command would be sent from the phone to Gear to turn mobile on. That does not happen now. If away from you cell phone, and Mobile has turned itself on, then NumberSync will work.

[Android Apps and Games] ExEightySix:
Hello. I just published my first game on the Play Store. It's called Ball Grind. If you enjoy minimalistic arcade games like Color Switch, Super Hexagon or the ones by Ketchapp, this game is for you. But don't get me wrong, I made something original, there's no game that looks like mine on the play store. Feel free to to give my game a try, let me know what you think below :) .

Coming for Windows Phone and iOS soon.

Well, I'm not allowed to post links yet. You can find the game on the play store by searching "ball grind" (include quotation marks).

This is the icon:

Description:

Your ball keeps spinning around each platform. Tap the screen at the right moment for your ball to jump from a platform to another. Be careful, as the game keeps getting faster and there are obstacles in your way. Your ball can only stay on a platform for a while, so think quickly.

The objective is simple, go as far as you can, but going far isn't that simple! Try to collect diamonds that appear in your way.

- Fast paced one-touch gameplay;

- 10 different balls to unlock;

- 4 difficulty levels : Normal, Hard, Harder, Hardest (sorry, no "easy"). Can you beat all of them?

Focus and precision are key here. Prepare to test your relfexes!

Screenshots:
[Android Apps and Games] EternalGameStudio:
First impressions: The blue text on an orange background is hard to read IMO, the icon peaks my interest.

After downloading: I denied you access to my photos, not sure why you need that. Looks weird that my in-game currency is off the screen on this menu. I don't really like the text you chose, and why isn't the "Exit" centered on it's button?

After Hitting play: Tutorial is straight forward although hard to read with given text and background colors. seems weird that you want me to hit "start" after successfully completing my tutorial, it should say congratulations and take me into game right away IMO.

After Tutorial: So I lost first level, curious why the level orientation changes after I hit replay? I assumed it should be the same exact level that I get to try again on. I like the SFX, game could use ambient music as well. I feel like the game really has no theme. Prices in store seem fair, I feel like I could easily save up for a skin if I was going to play your game regularly.

Final thoughts: I feel like this is a great start and you're really on to something, I could actually see the game being fun and addicting but right now you're missing the final polish. I feel like you should spend more time on the overall presentation of the game and take care in the way every little thing looks and try to imagine yourself in the shoes of a new player. Do some playtesting with friends and family to see what they think could be improved and ask for honest feedback. I come on these forums to offer honest feedback because I feel like that's what my fellow developers need! Please feel free to send me future updates and games for my opinion, always happy to help.

ALSO, pretty sure mods will remove your post because there is no link.. not 100%

[Android Apps and Games] ExEightySix:
Thanks for your review. But it seems there's one thing I didn't make clear: Those levels you see after touching play are actually just difficulty levels, what changes from one to the next is the speed and the colors. This is about seeing how high you can score in each difficulty level. A difficulty level is considered "beaten" once you reach a score of 30 in each (just 20 for the hardest, because I think 30 is way too hard.)

The placement of obstacles is procedurally generated each time you play, that's why it always looks different when you retry.

This is not just about beating the levels, it's also about seeing how far you can go before you crash or miss.

Also, I didn't know my game required access to photos? I don't get that permisson request when I install the game.

Perhaps I should change the description of the game a bit. And yes, I will improve the UI :) .

these are the cases I have managed to acquire so far

first photo left to right razer rugged, orzly leather folio case,orzly thin black ,orzly thin frosted, 2nd photo tudia case and razer thin. I'm currently using one of the 2 tudias I bought as they are similar to a spigen slim armour ruggedized TPU with a polycarb snap on back armour, anyone wanting full pics of the cases and how much each costs from where I'll be uploading pics of each case to my drive account so people can see before they buy there are lots of other cases mainly TPU appearing on Amazon, but for anyone who hasn't bought a case I'll try and get each one done over the next day or 2View attachment 4378481View attachment 4378482
[Razer Phone Accessories] aknotts415:
how do you like the tudias? can you post more pics of those :)
[Razer Phone Accessories] nexy33:
I'm using the tudia with the silver back breaks up the all the black it looks good doesn't add much bulk , the finger print reader port has been thoughtfully scalloped away to make using it easier, the cylinder buttons work flawlessly, even with an orzly screen protector there's a good .5 mm clearance from it to the desk when face down and about 1mm all round when face down so the speakers are kept clear of the desk cut outs are precise good clearance on back to protect camera .

I just received my orzly case today and I gotta say I'm a little disappointed. I bought the "clear" one which I found out later was actually frosted, and unlike the pics show, it's pretty much nowhere clear clear.. You can see the Razer symbol, but that's about it. I'm definitely ordering the tudia clear shortly, my original idea was to wrap the phone with a dbrand then use the clear case as extra protection, but you ain't seeing anything through this thing lol
[Razer Phone Accessories] nexy33:
have to say if the clear is the same quality as this rugged case it'll be a nice case for showcasing your phone with a skin without damaging the skin
[Razer Phone Accessories] iStasis:
I bought the Razer Rugged case however was fine the fact that it left a weird lip at the bottom of my phone just didn't feel natural to hold so gone back to using the phone without a case.

I know living life of the edge but don't have a habit of cosmetically damaging my phone's.
[Razer Phone Accessories] CptClubs:
I didnt like the phone in a case either but couldnt live on the edge any longer, I dropped my last phone a day before the delivery of my razer.

Ive made a suede case for the razor with all the holes punch out, its pretty neet - ill update with pictures when im home.
[Razer Phone Accessories] crazzzik:
Got the Orzly wallet case. Not bad in general. One major downside is the usb cutout. Razer uses squared profile on their connectors, but the case had rounded profile which prevented original accessories from being inserted all the way. Had to do some carving with scissors. Not the end of the world, but could be better

Just got my Spigen case it's the best case I own thus far and I own the Razer official case, orzly case, and the tudia case. Pick this up you won't be disappointed.
[Razer Phone Accessories] Mike02z:
I picked up the Spigen rugged armor and it lifts the Razer screen protector :(
[Razer Phone Accessories] kungpaoshizi:
The Tudia doesn't lift a screen protector, but you have to get it centered perfectly. I've tried them all, the razer cases were the biggest POS's... Their rugged case was a joke and if you take them off without paying attention, you almost snap it in half because of their stupid design of having no side walls in the center area.

Been happy with the Tudia, still want something more like an otterbox defender. But I think I'm going to just 3d print something stupid awesome and thick.
[Razer Phone Accessories] Xyphoid:
I have this Orzly case in orange.

Fits perfect. Charging hole is big enough and the edge keeps the screen off the table if you put it screen down (which I never do).

Camera is also protected (if put on a flat surface).

Adds grip, so you won't let the phone slip out of your hand.

Hey guys,

I was in a wholesale market and found out that Android Fast Chargers are only USD 2 here and got one. Now I am not sure if it is a legitimate charger or will it damage my phone (Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254)?

The message "Turbo Power Connected" does show up when I connect it to my phone, it charges my phone in about 80 minutes (from about 15% to full). Are there any tests that I can perform to find out the credibility of the charger?

I know its not original Samsung, definitely it is some Chinese copy, that is not my concern, I just need to know if I can use it on my phone regularly or not.
