I didn't but I changed the codec setting from acc to sbc and messed with the sample rates and I now don't have a worthless $200 speaker. This seemed to solve my previous problems.

I have experienced Bluetooth backward compatibility problems with my note 8 on devices having early bluetooth versions. For instance I have a monster rocking roller speaker that worked flawlessly with the s7 and with my N8 I would have audio distortion and crackling. With the delivery of...

There is an email address on a business card that came in the box. If you have trouble locating the email address let me know and I'll look at what I have- I think I kept it.

I had the exact same repair. Too bad Samsung just doesn't take responsibility and notify all users of the widespread problems and offer the repair/replacement.

I would contact Samsung. If it is under warranty they can run tests and see if you need a repair or replacement. They replaced my motherboard and battery a couple of months ago and I have not had problems since.

I've been in contact with the company about a replacement via email. There is definitely a sensitivity problem on mine I think due to a lack of adhesive around the edges. Maybe I got a bad item but we will see if I can get them to send a replacement and try a different one. It seems like some...

Thanks, I'll have to contact them. I think there may be a lack of adhesive near the bottom right of the protector.

I have mine on (installed today) and the look and feel is good. Install was a breeze. Don't buy if you have OCD over screen sensitivity. It takes some pounding to type on the keyboard and otherwise swipe and select apps (compared to a plastic protector or going naked). Though this issue is...

So it means that us Verizon people will have to now wait at least a few more months. :eek:

After seeing your review I'm going to go ahead and order. I'll report back. Right now just running a neo flex. While it has held up well over the last few months I am not particularly liking the spen screen drag. It would be nice to have additional protection as well. Thanks for the tip.

This thread answers some of your questions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s3/help/gear-s3-gps-tracking-question-t3712993 I leave my location set to on, GPS only, and the location only seems to turn on if the app you are using requires location services. i.e. if you have a weather app to...

Thanks, guys. I appreciate it.

That's interesting. Are you on 3.0? My watchface looks like this below. I have to click the start button just to see the GPS icon and by then the stop watch is already running before a lock is set. Congrats, OP, I think you'll like it.

Does anyone know of a solid method to get that GPS lock without waiting until the shealth countdown finishes and you are already into a couple minutes of a run? Once it has a lock it does well. I have run with my garmin simultaneously and I notice there is a .3 - .4 mile lag because of the GPS...

I'm glad I got the classic after looking at the pictures. That really sucks for you guys. Samsung should do something about this.
