Hi, any insider telling why the white is more heavier than the black ?

That one no body knows. Is it even true or typo? Maybe we should weigh it to confirm.

I own a white so i will weigh it at work since I have a micro scale there.

A quick post about Notifications for Gear S (NGS).

It is a paid app. Around $2 or 2.50 I think. I paid RM7.80 for it.

In the Settings (spanner icon), you will see a list of built in notification listeners.

It includes :
Gmail,
Whatsapp,
Telegram,
Line,
Spotbros,
Viber,
Hangouts
BBM
WeChat
Google Now
Facebook

By ticking any of these, you will get their notifications on your Gear S.

The primary advantage of using NGS is that you can REPLY to the notifications. By default, Gear S only lets you VIEW and clear the notification.

NGS is also smart enough to listen for other notification messages from your phone, and it will ask if you want to allow or decline to add it to NGS' notification messager.

Most of the time, you will DECLINE since these other notifications can also be controlled by the Gear Manager's Notifications>Manage Notifications menu.

Hope that helps.

Thank you. With a bit of trial i got it to work but I can't seem to see images on my gear. Whatsapp or Viber. Settings?

I do not know why it sometimes shows images and sometimes it doesn't. May be something to do with the image size?

There is no reply option for WeChat yet for NGS or is it only mine issue ?

I don't use Wechat, but intermittently, for Whatsapp, I can't reply either.

Hi guys,

juz wanna ask how is the GPS performance of the fast? Quick lock in location and stable?

Coz I feel very troublesome have to bring my phone around when jogging, so thot of buying a smartwatch with built in GPS. So far only Gear S and Smartwatch 3 have it. Is the GPS ok?

Btw, I'm using Runkeeper. Google-d dy and Gear 2, Gear supports it, not sure bout Gear S. Shud b supported right? Since Gear support it.

Runtastic Runkeeper? I think there's an app in the Gear App store for it, so it should support.

Otherwise Nike+ or the built in S-Health is also good.

GPS works nicely for the health apps, but not Nokia Here.

Someone has written a nice tutorial on how to root the Gear S

http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s/dev...gear-s-t2973455

However, I'm not entirely sure of the utility of this endeavour.

Just got myself a Gear S from Harvey Norman Ikano Power Centre.

Bad news: Only white color available, preferred black :-(
Good news: 2 units left as at last weekend, and YES, they accept 20% discount with Galaxy Life!

Went to Samsung service centre. Told need a replacement Gear S strap. Its RM145 with one week order period. So if you got the white like me, you can swap colours.

Does Samsung centre provide preorder for other colors of strap besides the black or white replacement ?

RM145 for a rubber strap is way too expensive.

I saw the 3-way charging cable going for RM139, and the reverse charging cable for RM99.

This is one REALLY BAD aspect of fapple which Samsung is copying.

Why this thread become queit now? Well i have been trying to find the black color gear s but have no luck everywhere since last year till now.....still waiting for new stock...not prefer white coz easily get dirty...

Thread is quite since there aren't many groundbreaking things you can do with a device like this, whether Android Wear, Pebble or anything of this size.

At least this is still the only full fledged computing device with a phone, till someone else produces another one, or the Gear S2.

They do however have a PDF reader available now, though I can't for the life of me imagine why anyone would want to read a PDF on your wrist, except maybe as a display for a QR Code PDF.

Me too. Give up after trying so many outlets. Why Samsung want to make a white Smart watch is really mind boggling consider how easy it will get dirty. Unlike Smartphone which you can put on a casing to protect Smart watch cannot.

Managed to get one black gear s from samsung paradigm last week as i asked the shop before went to get it....i called other shop in gardens and nu sentral but all said no stock for black only white...the paradigm shop staff also told me that they had order more than 2 weeks but only 2 units received..and im lucky to get the last unit... ..i believe now they will try to push the white unit everywhere so if u managed to encounter any shop that sell black unit..just grab it...

Thanks for the info. Did you manage to get the 20% discount?

Nope...as i bought it in January so the promotion already ended...I couldn't find black color throughout the promotion period...what an irony... maybe you could give few calls to shops before going there...even direct d sell with slightly lower price than rrp but they have been without black color for so long already....
