R381XXU0BNL2 New Firmware Changes?

My Gear 2 Neo just got updated to R381XXU0BNL2, I've been trawling the internet for a changelog without any luck.
All I have noticed so far is the android/tizen version has been increased to 2.2.1.2
link: LINK TO SAMMOBILE FIRMWARE PAGE
Anyone noticed any other changes?
(still wishing someone would port Android wear to the watch)

hi i just received the same update,the only thing i noticed is that is smoother than before. (By the way i wish someone can port android wear too)

I assume Samsung Gear (ex Manager) and Watch Styler still work? I have mine set for manual updates check - doesn't seem that the new ROM is available in Canada yet.

Yeah Gear Manager works ok and watch styler seems to be ok too, Looking at the dates on the SamMobile site it doesn't look like any pattern emerging as to when Canada will receive updates. recently Russia got version NK2 but no other country did!
seems like a very strange update rollout technique.
Update: watch does seem a bit smoother, but I have had 2 occasions where the screen wouldn't come on and I have had to long press the button to bring up the power menu. I rebooted on both occasions as the watch seemed really laggy.

Any more feedback guys?
Thanks in advance! Too nervous to mess with it, it REALLY runs fine now with my 4.4.2 Note3 :laugh:

hi
deleted

Tizen version didn't increase. It was 2.2.1.2 for BNE5 too.
The biggest problem of these firmwares is that the notifications
don't remain on the screen until dismissed by the user. I have
to use clock with shortcuts with one of the shortcut being notification
in order not to miss any notification.
I was hopping it will get fixed with the next update. I'm still on BNE5
firmware. Can you please confirm/infirm is that was fixed?

Not sure how you have your notifications set up: on BNE5 I get persistent notifications for my email app (the only one I care about - work... ) by selecting it in the Samsung Gear list. I believe you can also configure the button to pop up notifications on double-press if everything else fails.
Curious about experiences with BL2...Tizen gets so little publicity it's almost like no one cares...so no feedback on the web other than a few posts here.

I was talking about sms and missed calls notifications. These are not persistent.
I would like to use "clock + events" but because I miss a lot of notifications
I have to use "clock + shortcuts" instead. Number of missed notifications
is indicated by a digit on the notification shortcut icon. No need to
double press home button each time. It's enough to check the time.

I know where to find it, but I'd rather not do a manual upgrade seeing how there is NO info re changelog and have no clue why it's not available to North America.
Weird...talk about Samsung's transparency.

Samsung started a mass update of the firmware according to the site above dates. Probably it will reach you soon. I have a Hong Kong version of it (TGY) although I've bought it from Europe and I have to wait for it too. If the wait is too long I might go to samsung care center and ask to change my CSC to my country.

Well then your screwed. Look on Samsung site for firmware. This device has never had a u.s firmware from that site. And any I mean any firmware they release is there. I flashed u.k watch is fine. If you flashed tizen or rooted at all. You will never get a update ota. Try in gear manager says your device has been modified and can not receive ota updates.

Most certainly this is the last update. Samsung is always doing mass updates for the last firmware. BNE5 update was released in May. So if there is still a new update after BNL2
it will be very far away in time. So I won't worry about not getting ota updates anymore. You can check mrcrab site and do a last flash if it's needed.

FYI...I did get BNE5 when I first booted up the watch (and I only bought it 3 weeks ago)...so there were NA updates- just not this one.
More importantly, please post here if you run into any problems on BNL2 as like I mentioned, I have ZERO issues currently so stability is more important to me than new features which I might not use.
Cheers :highfive:

Lost S Health 3.5.1 - help!

A few days back my watch (Neo) stopped synching with S Health (long after updating the app and Gear Manager) - it just happened out of the blue. No reboots were able to fix this so I thought (yeah, should have known Samsung better) that if I reinstall S Health it might work again. BTW: all other sync activities DO work between the watch and my Note 3.
Lo and behold, after "Uninstalling app updates" I found myself stuck with S Health 2.5 (pre- Gear 2) and definitely NO way to sync as it takes me to a page to "update your Gear Manager to a new version" - which I already have.
Needless to say that S health reports "This is the most recent version" when I try to force an update. The app is NOWHERE to be found on their market. I tried the old "fitness" app (superseded by S Health later) and that doesn't work either for an update.
Last but not least I did try to unpair and pair again...no luck. I didn't factory default the watch as the problem is clearly on the phone side.
I started reading that this synchronization has been reported as broken by many....wonder how many here have the issue (pedometer, sleep, etc)?
Second...can a merciful soul upload S Health 3.5.1 maybe I can sideload it to my phone? Cheers!
/RANT: no wonder Apple is eating Samsung's lunch (even at home in SK) as I have not seen such a clusterf... of apps not working/pulled from market, updates that never arrive, etc. Bad, bad customer experience....100% disappointed with Samsung.

wipe the slate clean...and go on hating Samsung
Sort of fixed it...
Installed the 3.1 S Health version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2750381&highlight=s+health&page=2
That was NOT synching either...so I thought I need to bite the bullet and wipe clean all the data from the watch and Gear Manager....that DID IT.
Super painful as I had a ton of apps and customizations and my life is better spent having fun rather than fiddling with the phone and watch, but ...that only makes me swear I will ditch Samsung next time around.
Hope this helps someone...someday
/EDIT Ok, that effing didn't last. Not only I lost most of my watch apps (how the [email protected] do I get them back when I cannot uninstall/re-install them ) including Watch Styler.
And the pedometer claims to sync but now it doesn't transfer any data.
[email protected] you Samsung.

Just in case....mind posting a 3.5 S Health if you have it?
Thanks

Well I suppose I have to thank myself. How I got S Health 3.5.5 back:
1. uninstalled Galaxy Apps update (back to ROm original version)
2. uninstalled any S Health updates
3. Allowed Galaxy Apps update
4. In my "Purchased" apps I found now thta S Health shows up and indicates an update is available
5. Forced the update and had to reconfigure my profile (lost all data) despite having a backup.
Hope this helps someone else fighting this horrible app.

Do you still have the synchronizing issue with S-Health? I cannot synchronize since the last update. Nobody seems to have this issue on this forum, but in France I know that a lot of people have this problem.
Thanks

You can probably imagine if that worked I would not have gone through the trouble of uninstalling and installing both apps. So NO, your suggestion was tried and did NOT fix my problem. Might work in other cases...

Just tested all the steps in this thread and my sync is still broken, nothing goes to S Health. Also in Gear Manager is I click the gear icon the option to sync is grayed out.

So you uninstalled S Health (downgrade to default) and uninstalled Gear manager, then re-installed both and still grayed out? Then I'm out of ideas...as I'm not crazy to suggest a factory default

I had a similar issue after my S5 was upgraded to Lollipop. Turns out, I missed an Gear Manager upgrade along the way. Upgraded to the latest Gear Manager and that seemed to work. Now there is a firmware upgrade for the Gear 2 Neo that seems to make it work even better. Latest software: Gear 2 Neo - R381XXU0BOA2, Gear Manager - 2.2.15011799. S Health - 3.5.5.0036. I am not rooted

Wait until Gear Manager updates again @2.2.15022599...that POS broke AGAIN the sync with S Health. So tired of this sh!t.

S Health doesn't support non-english sync to samsung account
Are you guys by any change using another language than English as your phones language?

I started searching trough the smali code to find out more about "Requested parameter [languageCode:nob] is undefined value."
Suddenly I thought "am I just making this more difficult than it is? I'll start by changing the language of the phone to English!"
And badabing.. suddenly S Health for the first time was syncing with my Samsung account... (attachment)
since many of the class call use langcode it wouldn't surprise me if missing langcodes could be a fundamental flaw in the S Health app design.

Mine is English too...always was. BUT...that being said, after the steps I listed above, sync seems to be working fine (knock on wood).
Samsung being Samsung, despite NOT having a scheduled sync set up, I do get a midnight notification "Please open the mobile app and set up a user profile" if no manual sync was done that day. Makes ZERO sense, as I do (obviously) have a profile and why on Earth would it tell me to open the "S Health mobile app" on the phone itself...it's not like I have one on the watch too. Semantics...

Note7 Recall CHECK - an easiest way

Hi guys,
Just want to let you know an easiest way to check if your Note7 is safe or it must be replaced through the Note7 Safety Recall program.
Just use the Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, open the 'Other Tools' menu, and select 'Note7 Recall Check' button to check.
You can check using the device's IMEI or S/N.
Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Or just use Samsung+...the built in samsung tech support

That doesn't work for me. I get an error.

Yes, I've tested it few days ago and it works as expected,
but today, sometimes Samsung site requires the CAPTCHA, that can make it becomes useless.
Sorry about that. You can try it again. If it happens frequently, I will consider to remove it from the app...

It looks like that the server very rarely ask for a CAPTCHA.
So you can use it as expected.
Btw, anyone has a Note7 that's out of this recall program?

DT Ignite / Mobile Services Manager (Verizon)?

Is that app no longer a thing? I just upgraded to the S10 and I'm on the latest security patch, and I'm not finding that app in the system apps anywhere. I always disable/clear that app ASAP once I get a new Android device on Verizon, and every previous android Verizon device has had it... Did it change names again or did they actually get rid of it?

I thought the last Galaxy that had it was the S8. I could be wrong though. LOL, maybe they hid it better or just changed the name.

I had a S10 on Verizon briefly when it came out so I'm 99% sure it had it at one point, but maybe I'm dreaming...

I've disabled it.. S10 - Verizon

I wonder if I have to have my Verizon sim card in the phone... I don't currently... will try shortly.

Putting my sim card in clearly "activated" it as the usual crap games starting showing up. However, I'm still not seeing it in my app list (and yes I have system apps showing). Very odd... really want to get this thing turned off. Wondering if they buried it deeper.

Does CCSWE see it or have you tried that app?

Yep, that's there, and I think you're right. The APK contains "Digital Turbine" and "IgniteService" - the original app was called DT Ignite.
Good find, thank you.

Confirmed that was definitely it. An update must've changed the name, and my device must've started on an update later than the one that changed it. As soon as I disabled it, it restored it back to the "factory" version and the name changed back to Mobile Services Manager.
Thanks again, Briermatch.

Question Uninstalled Samsung Messages via ADB. Please help me to add it back

I was removing extra bloat from my Samsung phone via ADB (uninstalling the stock Samsung Messages). Now, I would like to add the stock Samsung Messages app back. Could someone please tell me the easiest way to install the app back? I can't find it on the Samsung Galaxy store or Google Play store.
I tried downloading the latest APK. Unfortunately when I click on the APK via Samsung "My Files" (which already has the ability to install apps from unknown sources), the app looks like it's installing.. but then, it ultimately says "App not installed".
Maybe, there's a way to put it back via ADB? If so, can someone please tell me exactly how to do it? I don't even remember the exact commands I used to remove it in the first place.

try shell command:
cmd package install-existing com.samsung.android.messaging

Out of curiosity: why are you adding it back?

I was trying to enable the feature Make calls and send messages from your Galaxy tablet . It wasn't working... so, I incorrectly believed putting back the stock Samsung Messaging app would resolve the issue.. which it didn't. After reading that link more carefully, it clearly said this feature isn't compatible with Verizon carriers. Too bad. I'll probably just end up uninstalling the stock app again since it has no use to me. I like Google Messages.

I have the Tab S7 and the Call and Text on other devices feature is very handy. I love it.
But if your carrier has blocked the function for some reason, the same functionality (SMS alone, not calls) can be replicated with Google Messages once you link the two devices together.
