Samsung Gear S2 weather app showing incorrect language on watch and companion app

Help!

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 classic, and after waiting ages, it finally got delivered today. I then proceeded to pair it with my HTC One M9, which went without a hitch. In short, everything works...
....But not the weather app.

When i tap "add city" on the weather widget, it tells me to search using my phone. That's fine, but when i have entered my city (Tauranga), it appears as TAURANGAHARBOUR. Ok, that's a bit odd, as it is all in capitals and has no spaces, but what's wrong with that? I tap on it, to set it as my current location, and bam, it goes to some chinese text i cannot read when it sets it as my location. When i go to the weather widget on my Gear S2, it too is in chinese, for the name of my location.

I don't know what is wrong. I have looked everywhere and canot find this problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Samsung Galaxy Gear S2 Samsung Reactivation Lock Bypass?

Hi everyone. I own a electronics retail store and I have a bunch of Galaxy Gear S2 smart watches. I can't set them up at all to re sell because it says that the reactivation lock is on. Is there anyway to bypass this on the gear s2 smart watches? I know it can be done on the phones but I don't know about the watches? They are all customer returns where customers did not turn off reactivation locks before reset and returning . Thanks

Want to buy samsung gear s2 classic - few questions I couldn't find any answers.

Hello All,

I'm trying to decide which smartwatch I want to buy and I'm torn between samsung gear s2 and huawei watch.

I think, I already watched almost all of tests /reviews but none of them had answers for my questions related to samsung gear s2. Please help me with them ,so I could finally made my decision :)

1) Notifications - no one never tell/show how the notification is working. As assume that when I receive any notification, watch will turn on and vibrate will be on. But what happen when I miss it?
I heard that there is some "orange" notification? How it looks like ? Can we see it in ambient mode?
Is there any "you go XX notification" counter or its more like you have new notification scroll the dial to see how much and from what apps?

I came back from garmin vivosmart band where once it receive notification it show it on screen, then goes black but when I wake it up it show mail icon with number of unread notifications.

2) Ambient mode - I didn't see it on person in samsung gear s2. On Huawei Watch its look sharp and very detailed but on pictures on net ambient mode in gear s2 looks less sharp and limited. Not downgraded "ambient mode" like moto360 but I get a feeling that is less detailed. Is that tue or ambient mode is the same sharp/crisp like normal watchface but in black/white mode?

3) Ambient mode #2 - I like that on huawei watch ambient mode is very detailed and can stay always on. I read that there is potential issue with samsung that after some time, while still wearing watch on hand it will turn black, even if there is always on ambient mode enabled. Is that true ? Thsi is a major sells point because I want to have it always on when I have it on my wrist.

4) Endurance - Most of you have this watch for a long time now. Is there are any problem with battery, screen burn in ect on it? Again my vivosmart have oled screen issue that start to show black pixels after 5-9 months ( depending on the usage) and this is now a known hardware problem that happen on all the devices. So I would know if there are "known" hardware issues that could pop-up after a while or not.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Android Lollipop Kernel Source For Galaxy Gear [SM-V700]

I am the original developer of the galaxy gear cyanogenmod 11 kitkat in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...ource-t3199671

This is the kernel opensource of the Samsung Galaxy Gear to boot Android Lollipop. I used this kernel source when I ported CyanogenMod 12.1. The error may not be occur in this source. It's almost perfect.
I open source because of some people asked me to open source, on youtube or mail.


README

I ported the key part of this kernel at smdk4x12 devices
Ported mali driver in the devices, that OpenSource Samsung uploaded
Applied the patch at CyanogenMod Kernel Source

You should leave credits when you use this source
I would not upload the ramdisk that I worked

Gear VR lag and headtracking not working after rooting Note 5.

I have a Note 5 SM-N920C. Rooted and using Arter97 Kernel.
Before rooting Gear VR was breeze but now it doesn't work at all. The headtracking is stuck so I can't select anything. Plz help me solve this issue. Would really appreciate it.

The other forums suggest a different Kernel. I used Sky Kernel earlier but my calls kept dropping so I had to flash Arter97. What kernel will let me use gear vr and not have my calls drop.

Thanks a bunch
