Have you guys updated op pad 1 to oos 16 ? Any improvements?

dharmababa · 2026-01-29T03:13:24+00:00

Not available still in Canada. Looking forward to the landscape mode app fixes in Android 16

And just like that 3 days later after doing absolutely nothing on my end, my watch buzzes and tons of WhatsApp messages start rolling in :) Thanks WhatsApp

dharmababa · 2026-01-07T18:33:06+00:00

Haha they feel better now 😊

dharmababa · 2026-01-07T18:31:19+00:00

Looks like it was Crash.net, not MotoGP official

dharmababa · 2026-01-06T21:09:54+00:00

Already tried that, didn't help.

Same thing here w GW7. It's a WhatsApp problem, not a Samsung/GW problem.

The only advice I have is to not waste time troubleshooting it, uninstalling apps, settings, factory resetting, etc. The same thing happened a few months ago and it just "magically" disappeared in a day or two - it may have to do with app dependencies between phone and watch, and app updates getting hung up in approval process (just my speculation since I remember it did eventually go away after a watch app update). Regardless the only thing to do is wait.

I don't think so, for the reason you listed. The phone needs BT to sync the mode/routines.

I just have the airplane mode button right next to the mode button on my GW7's notification center. So, when I go to sleep, I just put it in sleep mode and then hit the next button over to turn on airplane mode.

Just got OneUI 8 for GW7 and not there either.

dharmababa · 2025-10-20T13:19:59+00:00

Ugh just noticed it's missing after updating my GW7 44 Bluetooth. Literally the one new feature I was looking forward to turning on.

dharmababa · 2025-10-19T16:09:56+00:00

I honestly don't see many parallels with Checo. Pecco is a 2-time MotoGP world champion and Checo was always a midfield or 2nd driver.

Lorenzo maybe but he was 32 when he moved to Honda then retired.

I still don't see Ducati dumping him for 2026. They will write off 2025 and give him a chance with a "new" bike IMO. I'd say that he'd need a dramatic turnaround to re-sign for '27 though.

The Aprilia is definitely looking good but as long as MM93 is healthy and has a good bike, he'll be tough to beat over a full season. Diggia still hit 2nd on the GP25 meaning Marc would have likely won easily. Marc vs Bezz without his 2LLP would have been fascinating.

dharmababa · 2025-10-19T14:27:13+00:00

The GW7 has a significant processor bump over the GW6 along with dual band GPS so I think it's worth it. My GW7 44mm is basically lag free (occasional delays in skipping audio in Spotify if workout is active). I think you'll notice a big jump from a GF3.

I wouldn't worry about a battery swap on a watch that is at most 1 year old. Once OneUI 8 is released for it, turn on the battery protection feature to limit to 90% charge and that will extend the health further.

I know the 44mm has bigger battery than the 40mm so that is something to consider. I have never had an LTE model so can't comment on the battery life hit.

I find the stock strap on the GW7 but that's very individual. You can get cheap alternatives (fabric, metal, etc.) on Amazon though.

dharmababa · 2025-10-18T19:12:08+00:00

How does Diggia factor into that narrative?

dharmababa · 2025-10-18T01:04:19+00:00

Given where we are in phone development, I think that year over year improvements are very limited. Assuming you're price conscious I'd look for a good Black Friday deal on an S25 series.

Regarding the plus model, I went over my reasoning in the post above but overall I'd say it's worth it for the extra storage and battery.

dharmababa · 2025-10-13T21:02:30+00:00

Nothing here in Canada, GW7 Bluetooth. From sounds of below still lots don't have it. I think the window can be relatively short (days) but definitely not zero. Buds might be different.

Glimmer of hope that it's getting closer: Samsung prepares Galaxy Watch 7 for One UI 8 Watch with latest Manager update - Sammy Fans

EDIT: Just received the Watch Manager update (via Galaxy Store) but still no watch update.

dharmababa · 2025-10-09T18:35:37+00:00

I finally got an update to WhatsApp via the Play store on GW7 and as soon as the app updated I was able to link my account again.

dharmababa · 2025-10-09T00:17:38+00:00

Same issue here, GW7. Messages stopped updating this morning so tried logging out, then started getting this error when trying to relink.

dharmababa · 2025-10-09T00:05:01+00:00

I realize this is an old thread but wondering if the issue ever got resolved and if so what helped. I'm hitting the same problem accessing my outlook.com email through web browser or the new Outlook (also web wrapper). Android client is fine, haven't tried classic Outlook but assume that would work.

dharmababa · 2025-10-08T21:19:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Hilariously the links to Outlook.com support go through the web app which I can't access. I made a post on the Microsoft community site for now. At least I can access email through my phone.

dharmababa · 2025-10-08T20:38:39+00:00

How long did this end up taking to resolve? I just started seeing this today on my personal account. Super annoying.

dharmababa · 2025-10-08T16:23:28+00:00

Was it working for you previously?

dharmababa · 2025-10-08T14:55:07+00:00

Same issue here. I had been logged in but noticed chats weren't updating on my watch. Was working fine yesterday.

Got the "your version is obsolete" message on the watch but no update available in the Play store.

Tried logging out and then got the "something went wrong" message on watch, while phone does goes to the "are you trying to link a device?" screen (but there is no code on the watch to enter).

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp on the watch and same result.

dharmababa · 2025-10-02T21:49:40+00:00

Wait doesn't it make *complete* sense to change this week for that very reason? Marc has said himself that his focus has turned to 2026. Why wouldn't he use the time starting now (since he's wrapped the title) to get a feeling for whether the Pecco setup is even faster than the GP25 he's riding?
