What the Heck Samsung

[inmnbob]

I have been a big supporter and early adopter for a lot of their consumer electronics , phone and computers. The way they handled this last firmware for the US is unacceptable. I can understand a few day lag in rolling this update out but to take away the limited functionality that this watch had to begin with and have no solution for us is crazy. Expecting us to jump through technical hoops and hacks is unrealistic.

Have they even acknowledged this as an issue? I only heard of a couple countries to have the new firmware is only the US impscted?

Then I still have exchange problems and have to use different email apps. Pain in the ass plus I have never used Odin so there is that too. Just venting

If you want to vent you should be venting about the lack of a damned sdk. That is extremely annoying.

yea im in the same boat, after waiting for about a week with NO EXCHANGE EMAIL!!!! notifications. I said screw it and flashed the UK MK7 and loaded Null11.1 At least now it can do SOMETHING, still cant get exchange email via default stock mail client...well i get the notification then have to check the phone......LAME!

I bet they fix it b4 the price drop on black friday....at least they better. in the meantime you can root your phone and edit the build.prop and change it from US to SPain to restore fucntionality.

No update in Canada either, I gave in put in Stock UK Firmware.
Works like a charm.

Use Touchdown for exchange get full notifications, the Samsung email client is kind of lame any way.

Same here plus us Canadians just got the 4.3 update for the GS4, i couldn't resist and flashed the uk firmware, it was soooo easy to do... Now my GG works perfectly. Exchange email is not a problem for me since i don't use it...
