Just got my galaxy gear 2nd hand (ebay)
after playing around with it I have noticed there is no sound. camera, notifications or ringtones.
I have checked that it is not on vibrate and volume is turned up.
v 1.7
don't have charger or manual.
is this a software issue or do I have to return it?
Thanks
Try a full reset of gear in menu and start from scratch.

You should get a charger.
You will need it soon as the battery won't last too long.
Plus, you may need to flash a stock ROM back to the Gear and you will need the charger to connect the watch to your PC.
hi Ian I've tried that a couple of times with no joy.
rich I got it cheap as it didn't have a charger. I have ordered one but it hasn't arrived yet.

Try rue flashing stock software and see if you get sound back. Maybe previous owner deleted a file or speaker has gone bad.

couldnt find a solution so I sent it back and got a replacement which works perfectly. especially now I have put on Null_23

Hi. My galaxy tab Verizon is running cyanogenmod 9 Rc1. My battery has been jumping from 30 percent to 3 percent for the last week or so. Today I recalibrated it. It now goes from 17 to 3. It was fully charged when I did it. I did it again. Same result. Is my tab dying? Should I replace it or take it to Verizon?

Nor i were.infact mine was in warranty.i even show this problem to samsung service center they change somthng called IFC.it become normal for a month or two then again show same problem.actual problem wasnt IFC, bt in its changing procedure even they disconnect n reconnect battry connector which solve problem for some time.
I read somewhere its a battery issue.bt who cares now i have a method to overcome it.
its worth opening ur tab.check out videos on youtube nt a difficult task n now i need less then five mins to revive my battery again.
however i am curious why it works.

Well maybe it's a battery stats problem........
I had this problem but never got stressed.....but when the battery stats stuck on a certain % ,I panicked big time.
well I have posted a thread with solutions for this problem.....and that cured both battery stats stuck and the battery draining instantaneously.....worked for me.....never had this problem after that

I had same problem six months ago and I had tried everything. But every time, the problem came back again after a short period of time. Finally I had to buy a battery on eBay two months ago. After replaced the battery, the problem has never shown up again.

if you follow the instruction carefully you won't break it. It's actually very simple. after unscrew, just use an expired credit card to pry it open. Don't use any metals.
follow the fixit or directfix instruction. They are the best!

Indeed its a battery fault bt despite showing fake status there isnt any problem in charging or backup.
thats y i didnt bother to buy new one n will stretch this one by disconnecting method.
Start opening it from bottom corner after removing screws.

I use my tablet instead of my netbook for traveling right now. The tablet is so portable and have all the functions that I need for traveling. I couldn't stand the battery problem any more as it was so frustrating that I couldn't use it while I needed it the most. I didn't send it back for warranty repair because I already rooted and installed the Overcome. The battery is only $16 to $24. It took a little bit guts and dexterity to take out the cover. The back cover is actually quite sturdy and is not that easy to break. I even drilled out the screw heads because I don't have a special screw driver. But I am happy after replaced the battery. My tab is much dependable and reliable.
Hello all.
I have a very strange issue that started to happening like a month ago, the tab was on default ROM 2.3.x.
After not using the tab for some days like 3 or 4 days it does not swich on anymore, not even with power + down volume.
To solve the probem I have to OPEN the tab and disconnect the battery for 30 min. then the charge icon apear again...
It happened two times so I installed CM 9 stable(wich by the way is very good in my opinion) thinking that could be some kind of software issue.
after this I tought that the issue was solved. but yesterday it happened again
does this problem ever happened to anyone else? I am starting to become tired of opening the tab so I can use it.. its not easy to remove the cover.
what do you think? it's a hardware issue or other? next thing I will try is to leave it always connected to power just to check if it happen again.
I repeat that it's strage because only happen if I don't use the tab for some time (more than a day) even if fully charged.
regards
Thread moved as should be in Q&A when you ask questions. Please post in the correct sections going forward.
Thanks
AvRS
any ideas? Still dead even after been connected to charger for 3 days

a month ago my battery was dropping suddenly to 30% or 20% i don't remember and nothing solved this until i flashed overcome Stock V5 {not the overcome rom} and discharge it and charge it again full then i flashed AOKP jelly bean back... now it is normal...
thanks, I will give overcome a try and let you know if it helped... not sure yet if i open the tab once more to disconnect battery or just wait until it completely discharges, but so far it doesn't seems to come near that point...
I have now leave my tab always connected to power cord, if I'm not using it and problems doesn't seem to come back.
So I presume the issue of not charging must be only after the tab shut down due to low battery...
Hi I am not sure what happened but I found someone locally selling a Galaxy Gear for $200.00. I thought that was a pretty good deal so I met up with the person today and got the watch. He showed me it working on his Note 3. He breezed through the screens with his finger. I called him...he took the call on the watch...I mean everything looked fine. Now I must mention I already bought a Galaxy Gear and love it. Been side loading apps and really having fun with it. I thought for this price I could play around with rooting and try some things that I did not want to on my existing gear because I am happy with the way it is working. Figured if I sold it on Ebay eventually I would still make possibly $50.00 when it was all said and done. So the first thing I did was charge up the new Gear ..it was at 87% already but thought it could not hurt. I was trying to figure out how to link TWO gears to my Note 3 and you pretty much just add a new gear and unpair or disconnect the other. So far so good...so I get the option to restore my data....I'm like sweet! Goes through the entire process including with even watch styler. I push a recently configured watch face to the gear. And that's as far as I got. I tried to swipe left and right with no luck. no up or down either. Ok, I figure maybe the buggy watch styler hung up the gear. Hold the power button down on the side and I get the reboot or shutdown...go to hit shutdown and the screen does not sense I am touching it. I tried it over and over and still nothing. Finally my only option was to hold the side power button in....says rebooting...actually comes up shows the time but I still cannot swipe in any direction. I even went as far as to go into the system menu by pushing the side button over and over after the reboot and I did a reset in there but still no touch response. Now If I had not actually seen it working I would have thought the dude pulled a fast one on me and who knows maybe he still did but it WAS working. Out of desperation I called Samsung and gave them my serial number and they told me it is eligible for warranty return...but watch them find it was previously wet or dropped somehow. I do not know if it has been but that would just suck. So much for my good deal. Do any of you extremely smart folks know what I can try or do you think it and I are hosed? I did try USB to see if that made a difference and if I go into the download mode I could launch ODIN and it shows it is detected. I am trying not to totally reset my other gear by uninstalling anything on the phone but I trust you guys so what do think I should do?

I thought about that but if I do that and it does not work would I not be able to mail it back for warranty repair? I have already called samsung and gave them the S/N and they sent me a pre paid label to print off and mail the watch back. If I re-flash I might be screwed for that option. I might already be not knowing what the previous owner did.
Thanks for the response though

hi everyone. firstly I will say that the S 6 edge is rock solid and fast. but I don't know what is going on with the U connect in my truck? my radio unit was completely replaced 3 months ago and has no issues. I have paired my phone to it , but it wont play any text messages. I had no problems with my rooted S 3 with Hyper drive rom. my cell provider is Verizon. anyone else have these issues? thanks in advance everyone
I'm assuming that uconnect needs to get updated to these new phones
my 2013 Ram 8.4an works perfectly with my Edge. i get the standard stuff i am used to. when i get a text i have an option to read it aloud. etc..
i have been using it since i bought it new and the Edge behaves the same as my previous phones.
wish i had a suggestion but wanted to let you know it works for me.
Thanks
I guess I will have to call U Connect and see if there is an update.

waste of time calling them just check for yourself HERE and download and install any new update with a USB stick
Back in January they replaced my head unit in my truck due to it Froze up on ram logo screen. When I took it to the Stealer ship they said the New unit was fully updated. Boy were they wrong... I took your advice and updated the firmware and lo an behold I can listen to my messages. Thanks for the help everyone. OP you can close this thread or leave it for future members

I checked to see if I could uninstall the apps from my downloaded apps but that's not an option either. Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Me too. Just bought one off eBay. Connected Gear vr and nothing happens. Factory reset my Note 4. Manually installed gear vr and still nothing. Thinking of rolling back to kitkat to see if it works.
Yeah I don't want to have to do all that. Seems silly that there would be any issues with this
Sent from my Note 4
Found out you won't be able to use Gear vr on Kitkat. It forces you to upgrade to lollipop in order to use the Oculus app.
Ah OK. I just spoke with at&t and they were of no help. Samsung's support page says call carrier if it isn't working. Bs. Can't find any info online about it either besides that people were having issues on Verizon last year and needed an update. I'm just going to return the thing this weekend if I can't figure it out
Sent from my Note 4
I may have to do the same thing if I can't figure anything out. And buy a decent pair of goggles that work with Google cardboard. At least I could use that pair with any handset.
Yeah that was my origjnal plan and then convinced myself to get this. It's a bummer really
Sent from my Note 4
This is going to sound silly but I got it working. Even though I thought the phone was fully connected it wasn't. Be sure to push it till you can't see the connector.
Sent from my Note 4
Woo. I think I got it. All I did was pushed it down firmly in and it worked.
Hah yeah
