Why would they allow apps to run in the background on such a tiny device, the S3 just can't handle that. It also REALLY did not need that feature, how hard is it to just swipe to the app you are using. My watch has never ran so SLOW up until this new update, awful idea.

      Until recently my Gear S3 would drop to 75% battery by the end of the day. Since update the battery drains completely by early afternoon. This was sudden and not gradual so this isn't natural degradation. Ditching S3 for a Garmin. Won't buy Samsung Gear again if current problems not resolved.

                Did the bixby update come out for the gear s3? I have not had any updates yet and every time I check it says its the latest update.

Same software version, my GearS3 had suddenly gone s**t, with +200% energy consuption (from 2+ days to 12 hours at best), in the last 7-10 days; and got very laggy.
                  Don't think battery can decade this fast, this has to be a software problem.
                  Samsung?!? Please fix, quickly!

                      Ever since installing this update, my watch has turned to sh*t. Battery drains in half a day, watch is sluggish at best. I've done everything I can to get the battery to last longer, have read a million articles on how to solve it. Still no better.

                      Is there a way to uninstall the update?

                            ThunderCrackR, 12 May 2020Would be nice to see this kind of software support for their over $1000 flagship phones.Samsung always provides the latest software version update and security patches for all their flagship models, so it should be a relieve.

                                      Look quite good in design and the specifications too are good enough. When can we expect them?

                                        Finally... It took them an entire year to make another update... At last
