for those who had battery drain issue after upgrade the tizen OS please try to use the original adapter to charge your s3.

recently I got a prompt to update to tizen 3.0.2 but it didn't solve my battery drain issue.

after that I tried to use my xiao mi power bank to charge (it has two output 1A and 2A. I am using 1A to charge ) now battery health is much more better. e.g.. I charged 10pm last night to 100% now still left 87% as of 1037am. before this I used Anker multiports charger I think the output current is too high for s3 to handle. sometimes it stopped 90+% and can't charge anymore and has overheating issue occasionally.

I am still monitoring but it worked for me for past 2 days.

Please try and let me know.

I am facing BT reconnecting issue. Once the watch is disconnected due to out of range, it will not connect again once within range.

I tried to connect manually thru the gear app without success. The only way is to restart the phone then the connection is ok.

Anyone also facing the same issue? Any solution to it? TIA.

think its your watch problem not firmware. mine can last 3 days. why not get it check at service centre.

 

[PPkiller]

Very likely the previous firmware already dmg the watch.. Quoted close to 300 to repair it.. Seriously lousy Samsung...

 

[wilflare]

bleh... the new update resulted in Weather not showing (it shows as "No info") but actual weather app works

 

[joesph]

after update still hard to charge to 100% at one time, gets too hot
