The installer was very friendly and courteous. He seemed to be very knowledgeable about the installation process. He installed both a Bluetooth radio and remote start at the same time. The install took about 2 hours longer than estimated. Everything works fine, but I was disappointed to discover that where the headliner meets the windshield it wasn't tucked in. Not sure why it was undone to locate the remote start receiver in the center above the rear view mirror. One installed on my car 3 years ago was in the corner at the top left of the windshield, which is where this installer located the microphone for the phone communication through the radio.

I had this installed as we prefer to listen to Pandora as we travel and the factory radio did not have Bluetooth. I still have to learn some of the ways of using the phone connection with predefined contacts, I simply haven't taken the time to do so. It works great when receiving a call as both you and the person on the other end can hear clearly. Only thing I can think of that would make it better would be the ability to display both the time and information regarding the track playing at the same time. But that's no big deal as it is easy to cycle the display when desired.

Had installed on my 2002 Ford Escape. Love the simplicity of the single button and the fact that it gives a visual indicator to let you know the receiver is responding to the signal to start. Only drawback is that after starting the vehicle using the remote start, the factory remote will not unlock the door and the key must be used instead.

I like how opening and closing the cover turns the screen on and off, plus it provides some screen protection. Hard to use fingerprint scanner though since only my left index finger is normally easy to scan. Using camera is a pain with the flip cover. It also seems to have a noticeable effect on battery life.

The S8 is what I consider the perfect size. Smooth as can be. Unlocked can be used with any carrier, just pop in their SIM card. I can't get the facial recognition to work, but iris and fingerprint sensors both work fine.

I have no issues with the pc version, but would advise against using the free mobile version that comes with it. Before installing it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 I used both Samsung Pay and Android Pay. After installing it I received notice that both my cards were removed from Android Pay and haven't been able to log into the Samsung Pay app. I will evidently have to wipe my phone and set it up from scratch.

I bought this to have an up-to-date personal computer. I have a larger Windows 10 notebook provided by my employer, but this performs far better. It boots faster and gives all around better performance. The one negative things I've found is the location of the power switch. I use it in my lap while working and a few times have accidentally turned it off when shifting it on my lap. Fortunately, hitting the button again quickly prevents me from losing the VPN connection.

I'm loving this cover. It protects the phone but also provides some neat functions. Love the display window (but would like even more apps to be optimized to use it). Love that with it and my Gear 2 Neo watch my phone wakes just by opening the cover, but if phone isn't near my watch the lock function works.

I purchased this Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo smart watch after much research online. I decided I did not want one with Android Wear, nor did I want the Gear S because of its size. It came down to this or a Pebble watch. I made the right decision!
This watch pairs easily with my Galaxy Note 4 phone and allows me to check notifications, take or make phone calls, and more right from the watch without pulling out the phone. I didn't want something to replace the phone but work with the phone for convenience. That's exactly what I got.
I can easily get 2-3 days out of a battery charge depending on how many times I use it for calls.

waterproof?

is the gear 2 neo waterproof if so how deep can it go? will it be ok in the shower and bath and swimming?
It is supposed to be waterproof for a short time not very deep, but I wouldn't chance it. Saw a youtube video where the person put one in a glass of water and ruined it.

Do smartwatches need a separate account with the wireless carrier?

Or do they get added to current acct or can they work without any addition to your current acct.
The Gear 2 Neo doesn't as it uses your phone via Bluetooth. The Gear S has its own Sim card and will need to be added to either an existing or new account.

Apps not Working

Bought the watch about a month ago. Up until the other day, when i brought the watch to a position where i could read the time, it flashed on. Now, it doesn't, i have to press the button on the side to bring up the time. And, the heart rate app doesn't work at all. is there something i can do to fix the problems, or do i have to take it back and get the fixed or demand a new one. And do i have to expect other apps will shortly not work.
There is a setting that allows you to choose what happens when you move your hand to the watch viewing position. Under settings, display, wake-up gesture you can choose Off, Clock, or Last Viewed Screen. Make sure Clock is selected.
