Look at some of the members now prisoners that have been caught trying to leave Beta. You can read aeveral posts how watches get bricked, cannot reset and more. Don't get caught trying to escape as this place is booby trapped. To the rest of us just hang in there. At least our guar....errrrr hosts did allow us to now make replies to posts. The inmates stood up for our rights and we got what we wanted. So there is hope. Just don't try to escape and end up getting locked in a cage!  šŸ˜€

True but it also states that you can go to a Samsung service center in roll back to the regular stable build which is not true none of them will do it.

Exactly! Others are not grasping the point. It was stated that one would be able to go to a Service Center to revert back to original version  on sign up. Many find that this isn't available and end up with bricked watches.  How is someone supposed to trade in their watch if it cannot be reset? Yup, being held prisoners and locked in a cage!

I can sympathize, but knew the risk going in, this isn't my first Beta, there's always a risk.

However, when stated that it can be rolled back in if you leave, that should certainly be an option.

Personally, I can't see why I'd dump the 5 for a 6 myself. Does it do something different, like maybe blood pressure? šŸ˜‚

Unfortunately this thread is why open betas are not a good idea.  People fail to understand what being a beta tester really means. It's the same thing whether it's being a MS Windows beta tester, Samsung OS beta, etc.  When you update an operating system to a newer version there is rarely any way to downgrade. Operating systems as a general rule are only made too go one way, up.  Back in the days you could run a rooted Samsung and flash whatever software you wanted, except between Android versions. Once you upgraded the Android version you couldn't downgrade even when given root access.  Hopefully there won't be many more beta versions and it goes public which should resolve issues others have had. šŸ¤ž šŸ¤ž
