What was sk bad about it?
Forgive all if you've had in unknown but until I've fixed the issue thought to be a little cautious with the only comment my great anger with LG VALENCIA SPAIN SAT, and the alleged perpetrator VA Also I'll be a bit lengthy.
In the month of April as many here bought the LG terminal OPTIMUS 2X P990, excited to be the first dual-core, that does not remove anyone.
From the moment I arrived I carry the typical start and begin to use it, and set up the whole issue and the radio. The day after receiving it walking down the street listening to the radio, I notice that hangs would not release the button or anything, I can only remove battery cover and wait five seconds and put it back. A mosque as so many here in the week I get to spend up to five times, reading through the forums and other contact LG service through its Internet chat, they told me to call at 902500224, (which is not a phone call is free and each one nailed) I took notice and told me first to initiate this sequence (1809 # * 990 #) and activate the options of the Log to record what was happening, I was going to send a new terminal to directly manage the change that defective within three four days back and give receipt on the defective, we draw from the box and ZAS surprise when it detects that the phone was not supposed NEW, was repaired and presented as a big scratch on the side control volume and another at the entrance auricurales, I call and I get in touch and tell them I send the photo subject even with the scratches, I say they will study the change because I told them that I have not bought a phone second hand that is not new.

Forgive this woman is alone and has no boyfriend.
I purchased the Gear Live for my wife last month. Just last week she was traveling for work and sent me this picture of her wrist. The watch had given her a rash or skin irritation, possibly from the charging pins. I purchased a Gwatch a week after I got her Gear Live, and I don't wear it as often (usually just weekends). I know there was recently an update for the Gwatch to turn current off in the charging pins. I am wondering if the Gear Live may have the same issue that needs to be addressed? Has anyone else experienced this? Or should I contact Google/Samsung about a possible defective unit?
Thanks.
Supposedly we got the same update. Hardly seen anything related to gear live, but that's not to say it wouldn't happen

I too am getting some sort of rash on my wrist from my Gear Live. It didn't occur right away. I wore the watch for almost a week before it got really itchy. I don't think it's the electrical contacts but it might be. Or possibly the rubber in the band. Has anyone else had anything like this? What did you end up doing?

Had Google replace it. Second one did the same thing. Just sent it back for a refund. Maybe an allergic reaction to the material?

It may have been the material in the band. I've changed the band and my skin hasn't been itchy in over a week.

Tough to be a copper allergy when the contacts are ENIG ( gold plated).
I got a Gear 2 Neo and I'm also getting a rash from the battery terminals.
I had a Gear 1 and never had a problem with that, its only started recently and I've only had the Gear 2 for about 6 weeks.
Could be the heat making me sweat and thats causing the rash with the battery terminals. Or it might be me just not noticing it till now as I'm always wearing it.
Would making the back thicker fix it? I'm thinking of a few layers of tape so the battery terminals are not actually touching the skin. That shouldn't get in the way of the charger but keep it off the skin. Another idea is to just cover the terminals with sticky tape and take it off while charging. Annoying but if it'll stop the rash it might be the way to go.
Samsung Gear S rash
5/5/15
I received a full refund of my original retail price 0f $349 in a check from Samsung.
If you are seeking a similar result, you need to be persistent and check in with them on a weekly basis. The following person was my contact for the process:
Jennifer Olivarez <[email protected]> wrote:
My contact number is 469-241-4839, and the Tech Support number is 888-987-4357.
3/19/15:
The update as of today is that I alerted T-mobile to the issue described below. Because I was out of the 14 day trial period, they referred me to Samsung.
I called in and was eventually transferred to what sounded like a girl/young lady named Jennifer Olivarez out of Texas.
After hearing my story, including telling her that I was too concerned about the effect of the watch on my wrist that I would never wear it again, she requested that I send an email describing what happened with pictures if available, and that she would send an overnight box to me to send back the watch in addressed to that office in Texas.
At that time, She said they would have their engineers evaluate the watch and then she would send me a refund for the watch in about 2 weeks.
Of course, I was happy to hear this and Ms. Olivarez then sent me an email with her contact info email and direct line.
I sent the watch on Tuesday, 3/10 and it got there the next day 3/11/15 as confirmed by UPS.
I did not get any word for a week and I decided to call in yesterday. Nobody answered her number. And from what I can see, nobody has seen any of my follow-up emails either.
I called ms. olivarez again today and she did not answer once again. BTW, the voicemail is generic and says nothing about who's phone number it is.
Later today, I decided to call into the Samsung general number. Although they confirmed that they had a record of the incident on file, all I got was the runaround from the other Samsung operators regarding the status of the watch.
After several phone messages and emails to Ms. Olivarez, I still have not gotten any confirmation that anything is being done to get me a refund.
My next move is to call T-Mobile again and find out if they can help me find out if Samsung is being on the level or what.
I'll send an update as I get them.
Hope this helps.

3/5/15:
Current status of my rash incident with the Gear S smartwatch:
The first indication of serious trouble was while I was on a call yesterday when I got a burning sensation on my wrist and a buzz sensation which was different than the vibration alert. The sound was more like a sizzling sound than a buzz.
I looked at the watch and there was a warning message that the watch was overheating and that I should take it off and let it cool then the watch cut the call off.
I do know how long the warning was there because I was the call on the watch when it happened.
Immediately, I noticed redness on my skin where the watch sat.
Shortly thereafter, I began to notice an itching sensation. As I scratched the area, I began to feel a rash like symptoms which soon turned into a burning sensation almost like it was blistering.
I put cortisone on the area which reduced the redness. However, the burning remains at this time approximately 18 hours later.
I have reached out to professional guidance on what my recourse is and I am considering going to a doctor to have it examined.
I have attached the pictures.
The following issues have made it frustrating to use and prevented me from wearing the watch 100% of the time:
I have had my Gear S from T-mobile about 30 days ago. I have been wearing it about 80% of the time since.
While navigating through the options and screens, the watch would freeze up at times and I would need to use the button to get out of what I was doing and return to the homescreen before returning back to the menu protocol.
On several occasions I would get messages that the watch was overheating.
S-voice would only work intermittently and speech commands within calling and such were either not there or if they were, they were not very responsive.
The heart rate function would not work intermittently.
I could not find a distance traveled option.
According to T-Mobile, their mobile network is faster than my wi-fi, which took me a while to find out.
The swipe functionality would sometimes think I was going sideways when I wanted to go down.
The swipe functionality would have trouble working when my hands were sweaty. I would prefer a back button to swiping.
T-mobile salesperson originally told me I need the Kies software to transfer from my pc to my phone. However, when I spoke with customer support on the phone, they said I did Not need the kies app and that I could get everything i needed directly from my smart phone.
The t-mobile salesperson told me the Gear S would work with the LG phone he sold me...Which it does not (Only works with samsung android phone 4.3 and higher.)
The sleep function requires that I manually turn it on and manually turn it off, as opposed to my lifetrack which automatically detected my sleep patterns.
The operating system is not android therefore limiting the Google App sync and interfacing which I use almost exclusively to control all activity on all my devices without having to transfer data to another OS.
Background of my decision process to purchase a smartwatch:
FYI, I previously had a lifetrack watch that I absolutely Loved because of the carefree usage, accuracy and ability to function without fail in my workout conditions over approximately a 6 month period.
When I got a new t-mobile contract about 30 days ago, I decided to try the Gear S so that I could expand upon my smartwatch usage beyond the fitness capabilities and into possibly replacing my phone and bluetooth headset during times when I was away from my desk and remote exercise activity.
I like the phone functionality and the quality of the screen and microphone for calls.
However, after several attempts to use the watch during my workout regimen, the size and potential damage to the expensive watch made it uncomfortable and distracting to my activities.
Consequently about 3 days ago, I stopped using it during workouts and solely for around my home office to take calls when I am away from my desk.
It may be that (pure speculation here) moisture on your arm is causing a slight discharge back through the pins and causing issues. If it is a slight raised,kind of burning itch that doesn't spread it could very well be just that. Either that or samsung changed the metal type it uses in the pins. Are you allergic to nickel? I've had problems with cheap piercing jewelry that is coated in nickel personally.
I remember I used to have a rash from the watch, but then I just stopped having a rash. Perhaps its because I used to tighten wristband too tight.
Samsung Gear Live wrist burn... radiation or contact?
So about 3 weeks ago, I noticed a non-itchy rash on my wrist starting to develop (1st picture). I thought it was just a sweat rash or contact dermatitis, but it continued to get worse (other pictures). I'm a Nurse and I've worn the watch about 14 hours a day for almost a year and two months. A doctor on my unit advised me to stop wearing it and it should go away. About a week later, it was worse.
I now have pain in my wrist that goes down to my fingertips. When I press on my wrist, pain shoots up to my elbow. I just got out , of my doctor's appointment and he ordered xrays of my wrist, a dermatologist consult, some steroid cream, and some zofran for the nausea that has developed. I posted a photo on Twitter to see if anyone had the same issue and Samsung got a hold of me within 20 minutes, which is worrisome. They asked me to send the watch back for evaluation by their engineers. I kind of want to get it evaluated independently first before it goes back and disappears forever; however, I don't know where I could find someone with a Geiger counter for radiation emissions. I did some research and apparently the radiation levels of wearable devices are 100 - 1000 times higher than that of a cellphone, which they advise to not even hold close to your face.... What kind of damage is a wearable that's in contact with the body constantly doing? If anyone has the same issue, please let me know! I'll update as I find out more.
Ok I like techy stuff have been into computers for over 30 years and really like the look of the LG G watch R.
The other half was going to buy me a smart watch for crimbo, but i told her not to as I am not convinced it would not be just a gimmick and I would not use it after a few weeks ....
So I need a little bit of convincing, presently in the UK I can get this watch for about £200, if it was about £170 I would buy it now. (any deals I haven't found yet about?)
One problem is I haven't been able to see one in the flesh as only available online and one issue would be the size on my wrist.
Is there a user manual I can download? - I cant seem to find one ......
I understand the main function of any smart watch is for notifications without removing your phone from your pocket, but can you hold a telephone conversation just using your watch? also is it easy to reply to emails / text using just the watch with a keyboard or would it be mainly using voice to text?
Any help / advice from those of you who have used this watch for some time would be very much appreciated :good:
thanks in advance
you could try Amazon France (amazon.fr)
With shipping to the UK it works out at £178. I ordered mine at the weekend, due for delivery tomorrow.

Lol enjoy it mate
I've had my watch now for several weeks and although I certainly don't speak for all uses, I can tell you what I find useful about this watch. First I really enjoy the fact that I can change the watch face to suit the occasion although to be honest lately I've been sticking with the same face.
I also find the notifications very useful as it lets me triage them which keeps my phone in my pocket more often that not. I find myself pulling out my phone for e-mails, but voice works fine for short texts and is very convenient.
It also works very well as a step counter especially on occasions I've forgotten my phone at a different location. When I retun to my phone the watch will update the step count in Google Fit completely automatically.
This watch is not for everyone and if you have your doubts then by all means don't get it.
Cheers.
well if anyone s after one in the UK, for today only its going for £179.99 @ expansys, I bought mine for £200 on Thursday .....
Lg G Watch R
I am currently wearing my 4th OG Pebble.
4th.
I have had the screen tearing issue come up on every one, and every one was faithfully replaced by Pebble, which is nice. My first three I wore in the shower and in the pool, per the various ads I saw where people showered and swam with it, and my wife was like dude, quit wearing it in the water. So my latest warranty replacement has never been wet. The last two days, I've had the screen thing again.
Again.
I can't afford a Pebble Time at the moment, or I would go that direction in the hopes that they figured it out.
I know that there is a solution involving taking the watch apart and placing a small plastic shim inside; has anyone done this successfully, did it work, how difficult is it REALLY, and what kind/size shim did you use?
Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
OMG! I hate this problem. Happens on mine all the time. I had a friend tell me it doesn't happen if you use the stock watchfaces. I've notice it actually does happen more on certain watchfaces for some reason. I've never tried the repair trick. Switching watchfaces HAS helped a bit though. Which makes me think, is it really a software issue?
I don't know about inevitable, but given that the reason is a hardware connector, that's probably likely. Water has nothing to do with it at all. All four of the Pebbles we own with the old style connector have been wet numerous times with no harm.
I can't speak for everyone's use but my wife and I have 1 OG Pebble and 3 Pebble Steels between us.
I only use the OG Pebble for working out and I turn it off between workouts. It has never had a screen tearing issue. It's the screwback later model of the OG.
My wife's Brushed Silver Pebble Steel, which was pre-ordered on announcement day, has never had a screen tearing issue.
My original Matte Black Pebble Steel, ordered on announcement day as well, did have the screen tearing issue and Pebble quickly RMA'd it and told me to keep it as well as the new one. The warranty replacement (I was actually a couple of months out of warranty) has never had the screen tearing issue.
Since it was already broken/spare I did attempt the business card shim fix on my original Matte Black and it has worked beautifully. Since my brother wanted to see if he would use a smartwatch, I lent the repaired one to him to wear during his paramedic clinicals and he hasn't seen any screen tearing at all while exposing it to God knows what. It was an extremely easy fix. I followed this youtube tutorial https://youtu.be/c-3pfh-bx_w and it was spot on.
If you have the screwback version of the OG Pebble then the fix is pretty straightforward. If you have the glued together version then you're probably better off buying another one if you want to keep using Pebble.
If any of our other three watches did start having screen tearing I feel 100% confident the shim fix would correct the issue entirely.
Worked like a charm! Thanks,

Glad that worked for you. Pebble has always been great at RMAing my messed up Pebbles. I too had the 4th one start to go so I emailed them. They said they'd replace it but I inquired about testing a beta with new hardware or seeing if there was something else they could do. I also asked for a phone number to speak to someone about it. They replied that they do not have a phone system and there are no betas of the OG Pebble but did offer me a Pebble Time. I took their offer even though I liked the OG Pebble firmware. Its worth a try if you are still having troubles down the road. Good luck.

Thanks. Unfortunately, my Pebble (which is my third) was rejected by them recently as being out of warranty.

I'll just re-iterate that they took back my used Pebble Steel (RMA) and sent me brand new one and it hasn't torn yet. So, great support and us early folk have that tearing a possibility at any time
Side note-I can't get it to pair with my vs985 any more (kinda makes it useless). It's likely something with the new CM13-based ROM AND my phone (same Rom - OctM pairs fine with my Nexus 7). I'm now seeing the LE radio and the standard from the Pebble and CM13 doesn't like to pair with the regular. I'm going to do some searching today to see if there's a fix.
Pebbles!
FWIW, my Kickstarter Edition Pebble is still holding up just fine after daily use for close to two years now (I got it used). That said, a Pebble Steel I was recently working on from 2015 did have the issue. Seems like they got it right at first and then forgot how.

Cyanogenmod Roms used to have issues with being finicky when it comes to Bluetooth, so that kind of behavior wouldn't necessarily surprise me.
I didn't think it was the Pebble. Thanks for noting it for others!

My OG Pebble Steel has been running fine for about nearly a year now, screen tearing started showing up but been super minimal....
It arrived yesterday from Amazon and I really like it but as i guess you all know today came an E-mail discontinuing support and Warranty. I have already started a return request but as the day goes on and the watch presents it's uses I am increasingly annoye at what has happened. Why? Because this was the Smart Watch I wanted. Long battery life, easy use and just works. I am concerned , however should the watch go wrong or will I see these watches going for far less in a week or two as the news sinks in. What do people think, should I return it. Looking around the Sony 3 looks the closest but nowhere near on Battery life. Any other options?
Same question ...
I'm in the same boat with Pebble 2 HR ... I really like it so far ... bought it yesterday from Best Buy have one month to return it ... don't know what to do. Will it WORK a year from now, don't care to much about warranty but will it actually have the app available !?
So my answer "I don't know!" I think I'll wait until Jan. and see if anything changes, maybe some more info, let the water clear a little.
I will never buy a FitBit that is 100% .
Other option:
Vector Watch Luna - arriving for me on Monday wife agreed to let me buy it ...
No reason the app would go away or stop working. I guess if Android "O" comes out or the new iOS and is somehow incompatible with the existing app it would break, but other than that... I still love my Pebble Rond and can't find anything out there that comes close to it as far as aesthetics and functionality.

Server switch off will quite easily cause a large amount of features to "stop working" so yes return it and get your money back while you can.

Aside from downloading new watchfaces, I couldn't name a single feature of the Pebble that would require a centralized server.

^^^^^ Yes. Unlike the Apple watch, the Pebble watch is self-contained. Most apps are local, while many make use of already established APIs (weather, PayPal, etc) that are not controlled by OEM servers.
I'm in the same shoes. I bought my time steel on cyber Monday last week. It works fine since but what if it breaks? I purchased it from amazon so I have a time window to return it but after that I will be alone. I own a pebble classic as well which broke after about 10 months of use and had a warranty replacement. The new one I had is actually working better then the old one which broke. I can easily get 7 days of battery life out of my pebble classic. My only issue is what if my new time steal breaks after 10 months? Or they just shut the servers as other people suggested. The problem is I do love my pebbles but as the future is uncertain maybe time to change to a more reliable future proof brand.
I tried to find a good alternative like Garmin Forerunner 230 which has similar features but more expensive.
I still haven't decided whether I should send it back or not. I probably get a garmin as well and will compare them.
Timeline, weather and voice recognition are but a few which will die after server switch off was confirmed on pocket now podcast
...Continuing on the other option, Vector Luna arrived on Friday and I'm ditching Pebble.
Although my Pebble 2/HR has a better screen it's way smaller, looks more geeky (for me a plus) it has a HR sensor (was accurate enough despite some bad reviews) and the best of all it has voice reply ( probably defunct soon enough) - on Vector no HR and MIC not as refined apps as Pebble but it has the potential to be the best replacement out there for battery life and functionality. I really hate to charge anything, even my phone , every day ... If FitBit kept Pebble alive I've kept the Pebble over Vector, but given the circumstances I'll return it today. Just my 2 cents based on my experience with both.
got my pts on saturday. I love it! before this I've had 2 microsoft bands and a garmin fenix hr.
I've found the pebble more informative and easier to wear to the extent it's far better as a daily driver... sports functions remain better served by a sports band and I'll put that on when I put my sports gear on.
wife has 2 pebbles and a moto 36- 2nd gen and is very attached to the pebbles too.
wish I'd tried one earlier tbh.

Link? None of that makes sense, I think yo'ure confusing things. Weather uses a different server, and timeline doesn't use a server at all.

Hmph. That's disappointing.
Timeline will continue to work for calendar reminders as those are pulled from your phone and those events are not stored on Pebble's servers. However the weather/sunrise pins will probably stop working. Any other app that Pebble created that might push pins to your timeline will probably also stop working.

I got a Luna as well as a replacement of the time steel but it does not vibrate with notifications only with incoming calls. All the notifications enabled and the vibration is on. Anyone who went for the luna route have this issue?
I recently replaced my Pebble classic, and at the same time bought my wife one for Christmas. I then Found the news that pebble had sold out to fitsh*t and all warranty and support would cease. Immediately I returned the two new pebbles and bought two different devices. I got the Alcatel GoWatch (actually surprisingly VERY good) and I bought the Mrs a Sony SW3.
I'm gonna miss Pebble, but screw them - they used to be all about their Customers and it seems to me they should up up the creek without a paddle. My advice to everyone is FIND ANOTHER SMART WATCH! There's a lot out there that will beat Pebble hands down, just the battery life that is a pain on other devices.
Fitbit is unbelievable, they just bought Vector too. I just managed to buy a Vector luna over the xmas season from John Lewis for a £100 cheaper and now they been bought by fitbit as well as pebble. At least they don't stop the warranty and support immediately. I cannot believe how unlucky I am.
Server switch off, or just its removal of user-base results in not being able to 'reboot' your pebble. Your to be downloaded apps, watchfaces etc are neuther on watch itself, your ios phone... only on server, ubder you user account
May be hope...
Ok, Pebble-eers...I being a Pebble fanboy, started snooping around, the day I got the message that Pebble died. If your interested, look up Rebble, sorry, new guy...cant post links yet , its worth a look, the Pebble community is very much alive and well...or, another alternative is Gadgetbridge, although there are some drawbacks.
Wow!
I'm loving my PTS since the first day my kickstarter package arrived and before my Pebble classic was the best gadget I ever had. I'm still lucky with my PTS right now and wearing it every day along with gadgetbridge :good:
It was quite fun to write Watchfaces for Pebble since it's some of Code you've trust everyday
