[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] atalanta1:
hi everyone,

I am about to replace my galaxy watch with the GW3 and I am still undecided which version (LTE/BT) I should get.

I have a phone i use as a secondary number, so I could migrate this one to the watch, even if e-sim are not common in my country and this will result in a more expensive plan compared to the one I currently have. Anyway, I will accept it because I will keep my 2 separate numbers and I also could finally go jogging without carrying the phone.

My 2 doubts are:

1-battery life. I am worried that with LTE on all of the time the watch will not last an entire day

2-I am unsure about what will happen when the phone is connected to the watch and I receive a call on the other number on the watch. Is the watch switching in standalone mode?

I understand the ideal use of the LTE version is more like a companion sharing the same contract of the phone rather than using it as a standalone phone, and I could not find any answer on these doubts, so I hope someone here having an user experience could help me in making the right decision

Thanks in advance!

1. When the watch is connected via BT, LTE seems to be switched off.

2. When someone calls or sends me a text on the other number it shows up as if I received it on the handset as if they did not call/text the other number (atleast with my operator, Telia)

I will do some more testing with handset in flight mode etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] marctronixx:
1. there is a setting that will AUTO turn off the mobile network when the watch connects to the phone. you can disable this so the mobile network setting is on if that is what you prefer. for me, i leave it on all the time since the watch has its own working number separate from the phone. so even IF the watch connects to the phone, the mobile network can still stay on.

2. if you use the watch as a PHONE, then thats what it will be-- a phone. if you dont want that, get the BT only version.

when your watch line rings, the phone does not ring. conversely, if you have certain settings enabled in the galaxy wear app, the watch will sync to the phone and ring when the phone rings. this can be seen as a "companion" but make no mistake, the watch can and does stand alone on itself. ive had these lte watches for years and i spak from experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Slipurson:
I just got a call on my watch and answered on my phone.

I guess this depends on your operator settings for call forwarding etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] atalanta1:
Thank you for sharing your experience!

it is actually not easy, and the scenario is probably also different whether you have 2 numbers on the same contracts or 2 different numbers with 2 different carriers.

to recap:

by default, if BT is connected, then LTE turns off to save battery life, and this makes a lot of sense in consideration of the typical use of a smartwatch, where the cellular connection sums up to BT and wifi in ensuring the watch is always connected to the phone

but

you can turn this auto-switch off, so also when is BT connected the watch will get his own calls/SMS (plus the notification of the phone i guess)

one last question: can you turn off completely LTE ? this would be useful to save battery life when traveling...

Thanks !!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Slipurson:
Did some testing, I have the same operator on watch and phone, watchs plan is connected to the phones plan.

1. Phone in flightmode, watch is stand alone, call the WATCH'S number - Only watch rings.

2. Phone in flightmode, watch is stand alone, call the PHONES number - Only watch rings.

3. Phone in flightmode, watch BT connected, call the watch number - Get to voicemail. (Because of LTE getting turned off while on BT)

4. Phone in flightmode, watch BT connected, call the PHONES number - Get to voicemail. (Also because of LTE getting turned off while on BT)

5. Phone using cellular network, BT off, call the watch number - Handset rings, watch stays off

6. LTE on on both Watch and Handset, call either number and both Handset and Watch rings.

So i guess that if you have 2 different operators/plans the watch would behave just as any other phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Killbillprime:
Iv just ordered the BT version of the G3. I’m sure Iv come across something for the US where the carrier gives you a companion number so it basically the identical number as your main number to use in the watch. Trying to find the article.

Anyone know if we have anything like that in the UK.

Any thoughts or experiences from folks on three network here in the UK?

I would love to have the identical number running on both the SIM card in the phone and on the watch and you can activate which ever one is the active line.

Funny enough about 15+ years ago Vodafone Uk did actually have this service!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Trainzer:
I have that in UK. My network is Vodafone and they have a service called "OneNumber".

The GW3 shares the same mobile plan you have on the phone and since the mobile network on the GW3 is set to Auto, GW3 will only connect to the mobile network when there is no BT connection between phone and GW3. This means that if you do not have the phone with you, you will get the calls and texts on the GW3.

This works great! No more dependency on BT connection for your watch to get calls and texts! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Killbillprime:
Oh wow! That’s good to know Vodafone is still offering this.

Shame in stuck in my contract would 3 or I would have

Jumped ship.

Thanks for the heads up ?

Hi guys, I've got my asus for half a year and now I'm having some trouble. I'm using 4GB non-SDHC miniSD card, but when I put card in nothing happends and PDA doesn't find card. When i connect PDA to PC ant turn into "Card reader mode" everything works. Card is OK. Card format is FAT32 and to WM is oficial WM6 ROM
[General Topics] owziee:
Try to format it to FAT16 instead...

Don't know if it'll help but it's worth a try, I always use FAT16 in my phones because I think it gives better performance.

[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] foobarney:
Sigh. After about a month and a half of use (I got it on launch day), I've cracked my Edge screen.

It fell about three feet in the included case, shattered one corner, and spidered across the face (there's an image attached).

The screen I could live with, but after about a day, the top half-inch or so of the touch screen has gone non-responsive. So I can't do things like pull down the menu or enter an address into a browser without first switching to landscape mode.

Any suggestions on what I can do now? It's too late to sign up for anyone's accidental damage plan (Best Buy's gives you 14 days from purchase and Motorola's gives you 30 ... I'm past 40), and I can't even seem to find the part for a replacement screen online (the edge+ is there, though, which makes it rather hard to google for).

Is there any chance this could be a warrantied fix? Does anyone even have the parts to repair it?

Thanks!
[Motorola Edge Questions & Answers] benjamminh:
I'm sorry but I see no way this will be a warrantied fix. Hopefully you can find a screen and someone expert to replace it but I would imagine the cost would be quite high.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxyfantasy:
Received an almost pristine S9+ to find the fingerprint reader has a chip in the centre of the pad.

Anyone managed to replace just the surface with one from another sensor ??
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Kruk07:
Is it definitely chip? Mine after some time developed some cracks/scratches. I scratched it off completely and this was some kind of protective layer. I replaced this with sellotape. Still working fine. Of course I need to replace sellotape from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxyfantasy:
Its the purple top layer, chipped off in the centre. Replacement sensor on its way, wondering if painted or glued on layer....
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
That's a very interesting idea lol. The paint/protective layer of mine started to peel off and it was failing to read my finger way too often.

I removed all of it and it did improve the accuracy, however I do notice that it gets hand moisture easier and it requires me to clean it often

I'll try a piece of transparent tape, see if that helps xD
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Guides, News, & Discussion] megit:
Hi!

I bought my Samsung A20e phone before 1 month. I work remotely through VPN, so my phone is very important for my work. I configured my work VPN on my Samsung phone through Settings->Connections->More connection settings->VPN and it used to connect successfully. But these days it keeps failing with the status 'Unsuccessful', it does not connect anymore. While I use the same VPN (with the same configuration) on a Xiaomi Redmi phone and on my HP computer.

Please has anybody of you faced this problem? Can you suggest any solution?

With respect,

Megi
[Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers] JOHNGAETANO:
Unless I am missing something, there is no way this is geared for a business professional, anymore than a regular tablet would be. It's not an ideal phone, email or texting device, just something that features office 365 on two screens. I know for myself, if I cannot make/receive phone calls and texts, even send emails efficiently, then this device is DOA for me. Am I off base here, or give it a go?
[Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers] Jobehonda:
If you aren't into getting to play with new stuff then don't bother. I use it, Director of IT for a medium and find lots of uses for multi tasking. But I can see some areas for improvement. But I use a Bluetooth headset 99% of the time and we are heavy Office 365 so Teams and power point at same time or SharePoint makes it nice. This isn't your weekend photo family phone.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
I think this device is directly targeted to the business user that is immersed in the M/S eco-system. It's real advantage is the dual screen multifunctionality. Where there are misses in my opinion are speaker quality, camera quality (maybe software can help), lots of people take lots of photos for business purposes, half the RAM I think the device needs for its intended purpose and battery life. In order to utilize the multi-tasking dual screen you will eat up the battery in less than a day. Software aside I feel like this is half baked, in 6 mos it will feel complete??
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BostonDan:
So I updated to Android 11 on Tuesday, and all seemed fine. Last night my phone was trying to install an app, and seemed to freeze.

After a few minutes, I forced it to shut-down (power + vol down) and it started to reboot. It got to the G logo with the small bottom bar animation for a number of minutes and eventually kicked back into Recovery mode.

I decided to try rebooting, and it started to reboot, got to the Google logo (the full word, not the "G"), and then kicked back into rebooting.

The phone now constantly reboots and even if I get into fastboot mode, it only stays in fastboot until I hit a key (vol up/down or power) and it then reboots into constant bootloops described above.

If I don't push a button on fastboot mode, it will just start booting anyways after about 3-5 seconds.

Does anybody know of what I could do? Not sure if replacing the battery would help (e.g. a power issue) or if it may be a corruption of the flash memory and that the system and underlying partitions are corrupt leading to nothing I could do to repair the phone.

I have really enjoyed this phone, but I am afraid that this phone is all-but-dead and unusable.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

B.D.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TommyGloves:
I had a weird issue last week. Phone would freeze after a couple of minutes and would reboot. It would also boot loop while connected for charging (wireless and corded.). The battery would not charge. I would shut down the phone and when I plugged in the charger, it would boot loop. The battery finally discharged to 0% and shut off. I plugged the charger in and it remained off. I let it charge to 100% and it's been working for the past week without issue. I'm not sure what happened.

I would suggest letting the battery drain to 0% and go from there. HTH
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BerMM:
I updated my 3XL to Android 11 two days ago and since then I have caught it rebooting at seemingly random times, though only when it is on the wireless charger. I guess it's back to Android 10 for now. Hopefully reverting a Pixel is as easy as it was on the Nexus. Thanks Google.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] jjlane86:
Are you familiar with how to use commands in platform-tools to flash stock images? How did you upgrade? OTA? Are you rooted? Is it unlocked or Verizon variant? If unlocked, do you know how to unlock the bootloader?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] BostonDan:
I am proficient in using the bootloader. Phone has been bootloader unlocked since day one.

I upgraded to Android 11 with ota and all was good for a day (rooted with Magisk canary). Then the phone started acting up, first not booting system and then bootlooping.

I can get into the bootloader (fastboot) but only for maximum 3-5 seconds before the phone reboots, or if I hit any button (vol up/down) the phone reboots. Also, if connected to my computer the USB does not recognize fastboot anymore (before it reboots anyways)

I think it's dead, Jim.

Cheers,

Hello all,

Before Diamond, I use HP 514 voice messenger and in case when I write SMS and received a call, I was able to receice a call, and after that ,with back button, return to my SMS and continue to writing.

It seems that is impossible on Diamond or I'm missing something?

How to put "messaging app" in background when call is receiving and after call back to it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kidinspace:
When I get a call through it just interrupts my message, when i finish the call i just go back into messaging and go to the drafts folder where it has saved the message and continue on with it.

[Other SmartWatches] Galeonero:
Hello people on the forum, I am looking for a smartwatch / band for sports, to monitor the phases of sleep, stress, SPO2, Vo2, see how I am progressing in physical capacity if I am improving or not.

And to notify me of notifications from the smartphone, it is not necessary to be able to answer them, just to notify me is enough.

The best possible autonomy, that is at least 5 days.

I've been seeing several like Garming Vivosmart 4, Fitbit Charge 4 / versa 2 or Honor Magic Watch 2 but I don't know which is better because the reviews are always different. or if they have any to recommend.
