Just heads up my wife just got Official jelly bean update 4,1,2, so its rolling out.
I downloaded mine via droid life. Tell me, does your wife have stock browser, AND chrome?

For the d4 and RAZR they decided on keeping the stock browser as well as adding chrome....

I'm trying to be patient and wait for the push to come to my phone. Did you sign up for the SOAK test or has the push to everyone started?

My battery life has been terrible. I've got a 32GB sd card w/ ~ 1200 high quality songs on it, so it appears to be working overtime indexing the library. Checking the battery in settings, "media" is hogging 50-60% (twice what the Screen is) and it's running very hot. In doing some research, this seems to be a regular occurrence for JB updates. I'm sure hoping it subsides soon.
Yeah I think that's standard for updating especially if u don't flash or factory wipe the device first. I chose the wipe and recustomize route.. takes longer but also gives me a chance to do it over better than last time my battery life seems about the same I'd say.. but I've completely uninstalled smart actions.

I did an FDR this afternoon and that seems to have solved the issues.
Hashcode tweeted recently that he was looking over the new version and the "battery is horrid".

I've been holding off upgrading as I watch what the awesome devs cook up with the JB update, but I'm getting antsy... maybe it's worth waiting a bit longer if Hashcode says the battery life sucks? I guess I can always just stick the OTA in another ROM slot and play with it.

i dunno. i think the battery life is pretty good. but then.. when i was rooting with razr blade i chose low battery saver option instead of regular battery saver. then after testing root i uninstalled the smartactions apks. might be about the same if not a little better.

I think the battery was quite horrible. But the kernal must have changed. I prepared myself to do a factory reset before I got the update. I did it after I noticed the horrible battery life, and while I haven't gone through a full day yet, I can say, it looks promising now. But I also disable almost everything.
am I an idiot or did the update remove timer functionality from the clock app?

Looks like it to me. I never found that timer very useful, though. I like this one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jupiterapps.stopwatch or its free variant https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sportstracklive.stopwatch (ignore that they show as different publishers, they really are pro & free versions of the same app).
is it possible to reflash back to ics? im getting a random reboot issue and thinking of reflashing ics and reupgrading again in case something went wrong with the rom update.

hmm so how do i reflash? have to wait for the complete stock jb rom to be released before relashing?

I just received an assurion replacement yesterday, I'm all stock. Will installing the update with button sensitivity interfere with the rooting I'm going to do? Also I did not get refurb, I got brand new in box with all the accessories in case anyone is wondering. Thx for replies.
No, if youre just rooting then it dosent matter and if you're gonna throw a custom ROM then, it still doesn't matter because you'd be replacing the Sprint stock software anyhow.

I got one for Christmas and am kinda disappointed so far. Got it connected but the functionality sucks without all of Samsung's bloatware. Lack of weather no camera uploads no extra apps. Whatnot.
I'm not sure if I want to ROM the watch it give it the full android feel. Plus I love gear managers watch faces.
Is there way I can give the full functionality on 4.4? I'm even willing to download a little bit of bloat.
I just found a ROM that really works for me and it makes me sad to have to lose it.
Please help. I need some direction!
Got one from my wife for Christmas... Haven't really had any time to set it up... Any pointers? (I will read the forums a little later)
Got one from my father for Christmas. Really happy with it so far. Used the camera a lot

I'm loving mine, had it 4~5 days. I'm not sure I want to run null. #1, my eyes are too old to make it worthwhile, xda or g+ on that screen...really?
So while I'm not opposed to rooting and I'm amazed with what Fomey has done with null, can you give me a good reason for null? I'm looking for a good reason, lol.

what do you like about touchwiz? everyone use their gear differently, but i really hated these black and white icons, and you couldn't change how many icons at the same time are displayed.. so if you want to go to voice memos for example, you had to swipe so many pages just to get to that app. i can't stand that. to this day, there is only one custom rom by fomey (bless you). i wouldn't even consider keeping the gear if not the custom ROM. samsung ****ed up big (not the first and not the last time).
As for the face and font colors, I'm sure Samsung will update it with more colors in customization in the future.
Adding more color plates....it is a piece of cake from the technical point of view! :silly:
I got mine a week early and have been loving it since I got it. I think more would get it, if it cost less. It is a very cool and useful watch.

by using ROM tool box (by Jrummy) it’s an awesome app but I decided to play around with the custom font option and when I tried to install another custom font it decided to reboot my phone to the LG logo and from there the screen goes black with the little indicator light on the upper right of the phone flashing multiple colors.
Fixes that i have attempted to apply where:
-multiple reboots nothing happened same results
-let the battery drain out of the phone then let it charge for a bit and restart it with no luck
-go into recovery mode to clear partition and reboot, but no luck
-go into recovery mode and apply factory reset but no luck
At the end of all these attempts I continue to get the LG LOGO and after that has played out i get a black screen with my notification indicator flashing multiple different colors.
I bet if I had an unlocked boot loader with a custom recovery I wouldn't be in this situation right now. Now I have to go thru hyelton Guide on how to revert back to Stock Firmware, and to my new-bish eyes it doesn't look easy.

I just went through the process. I had a soft brick last night from a build.Prop edit couldn't fix it until just now. LG made it tougher, but not horrible. Follow the guide step by step and if you need help post in that thread I'll subscribe to it or pm me, don't want to clutter up this thread.
By the way great to hear a solution is in sight. Remember when this happens, dint take any otas.... Like ever afterwards.

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.
Thanks!

I have no issues here in US. I flashed the Greek firmware in Odin and all is well through a normal day of usage and apps install as usual via Samsung Apps. I'm about to try reverting just for shiggles and see how that goes, for no reason other than curiosity.

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.
