Sorry, this info is for me useless...

For better and more precise identification of Firmware... IMHO.

Code since "100 years" of Samsung...

*#1234#

So you see CRK2 and few more text...

Tizen Version Info is useless crap...

Version 3.0.0.2 are few FirmwareS...

CRK2 is only 1

CRK2 is normal Stock Firmware...

As you know... Combination Firmware is different...

Here why IMHO Tizen Version is crap for identification...

http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-R760/CHC/doc.html

You can select English as language...

I can count 5 times 3.0.0.2

Since CRC3 from April 2018...

CR[B]E[/B]3
CR[B]G[/B]3
CR[B]H[/B]1
CR[B]K[/B]2

:eek:

And few Sales Code/CSC have few more Firmware...

CRG[B]4[/B]
CRH[B]2[/B]
CR[B]J[/B]1

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Maybe I have forgotten few...

But this makes 8 x 3.0.0.2 Tizen version

:eek: :eek:

So please... forget this with Tizen Version. :D ;)

Tizen 2.3 or Tizen 3 is enough... and not usefull for identification, if you play with netOdin Firmware packages or generally try to compare.

Yep step counting is now broke on my watch. Battery life lasts 6 hours. Still all software issues it seems. I don't get how this isn't a class action lawsuit for planned obselence.

I just don't get why Samsung did this intentionally. Which they clearly did, because the battery life is so wildly varied. Three days ago I managed to get it to last an entire day for the first time in a year... Then next day right back to 6 hours! Such BS

It's related in some way to the S Health app.

I bought the watch on eBay and going through the setup it had me update to tizen 3.0.0.2 so I never tested the sensors before to know if it worked. I tried downgrading and some other things and couldn't get anything to work. So I contacted the seller on eBay and told him the problem. He worked with me and I sent him the watch back and then he sent the exchange and this one works, but again I haven't updated to tizen 3.0.0.2 cause at this point I wouldn't be able to do another exchange and don't want to take any chances.
[Samsung Gear S3] daninantro:
tizen 4 update wont solve the sensor issue. I checked

I have been researching for a while now, it turns out samsung has a separate chip for sensor management (read on reddit.. I maybe wrong). And the tizen 3.0.0.2 broke its functionality. The only solution is to replace the motherboard.

I dont have warranty anymore so I am not really interested in getting the board replaced as it will cost me huge amount of money. Maybe I will sell it on ebay :p

Can we make calls with samsung gear sport watch?
[Samsung Gear S3] nascar48:
I found a possible fix for gear s3 issues:

Use an iPhone!!!

No I’m not joking sadly. My gear s3 has had rapid battery drain for months connected to android phones (and I mean many phones, lg v30, galaxy s8, nexus 6, lg v10, google pixel, the list goes on), yet on airplane mode the battery drain issue went away after a few days sometimes. Also, the step counter was just horribly wrong constantly.

So I switched over to an iPhone for a few days and.... both problems are totally gone! The battery drains 50% in the first two hours, but then doesn’t drain much at all and has normal battery life of a few days.

There is a major bug in S health on android that is causing all the problems!

My solution

I had the same problem. After update to Tilzen 4.0.0.4 my sensors stopped working and my battery drain was crazy. My solution was:

1. I waited for the battery to drain out.

2. I put the watch on the cradle and left it there for 1 and a half day. (put it on cradle on Friday, took it off on Sunday)

3. turned my watch on and everything was working.

Still working for now.

So after a few moths I forgot to charge the watch, and when I turned it on the sensors again stopped working. I can't get them to work again. I am waiting for a new motherboard. When I replace the motherboard we will see if it was a hardware problem.

Kind advise dont update to tizen 4. If you have updated none of the sensors and etc will not work. Past 2 months i was terribly upset to resolve this situation. I previously did a cross firmware flash to enable samsung pay via netodin V1.0 , what I did right now

Flashed the cross firmware and downgraded to tizen 2.x. My gear S3 works perfectly now with all sensors and gestures. I have completely disabled the OTA update so that the watch does not download tizen 4 automatically. Unless samsung provides a fix there is no way for tizen 4 sensors to be active

That means it's an hardware issue only. Beacause accidently my watch again got updated to tizen v4 due to automatic updates.

Well, I pulled it out from under my bed, it got updated to Tizen 4.whatever and everything works now.

Steps are acting normal, battery was whacky at first but after letting it die and recharging it the battery seems normal. I'm at a day and 12 hours with 15 percent left. Not sure how that helps any since most on here are saying don't do the Tizen 4 update but for my watch it seems like it's back to as good as it has been since before Tizen 3. Still not as good, but close enough...

Motherboard replacement

So it turns out that the problem was not software related. Maybe the software was the the cause of the problem but the solution was to change the motherboard. I ordered one from ebay (45$) and made the replacement my self. It is not difficult to replace (check youtube for instructions). After motherboard replacement everything works as it should. I also updated the watch to tilzen 4.0.0.2 and the sensors still works.

Same here.

BUT i found out, when i am on Tizen 4.0.0.7 R760XXU2FTD4 and i flash the BL from Tizen 3 R760XXU2CQL1, the sensors are working!

Only Battery shows 0% and barometer doesn't work.

So the thing for the not working sensors after update is in the BL thing.

Maybe a dev can have a look into this stuff?

Than i flashed the R760XXU2FTD4 rom through net odin, and now all works!

All sensors exept the barometer sensor are working normal.

I deleted the Wear App and the Wear Plugin on the phone and reinstalled it. Through the installation i had to give permissions for the watch, like contacts reading, weather etc.

Now the contacts are back. Steps are counting, heart rate also.
