Tue, 19 Dec 2023 21:12:48 -0700

I haven't used my watch for 1 year. So now I placed it on the charger but it seems not to be charging. Shouldn't the battery life display on the screen while it's off and charging? How can I fix it?

The watch powers on and the display works but it will only go to the restart screen. I tried a hard reset and it still only goes to the restart screen. I don't know how to try to redownload firmware. I have not used the phone in several years. Thank you.

Samsung Gear S: Microphone not picking up sound

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 17:37:24 -0700

My Gear S microphone is not working

Everything else works great

I have reset the watch back to factory ...still didn't work

I have removed the microphone and reconnected it... still didn't work

I used the voice memo app to record and when i hit playback recording i hear crackling noise.

so i am pretty sure the microphone is bad

however i can not find the part number or the part and samsung is no help at all

any suggestions or if someone knows where i can buy the mic would be greatly appreciated

many thanks in advance
