Samsung

I'm not sure who accepted this as a solution, but it most definitely is NOT.  When a watch, brand new out of the box cannot properly count floors (as mine and many others did), clearing the cache and all data (thus requiring your to set it back up with your phone again) is absolutely worthless.     @SamsungJace wrote: Thank you for the information.

It is the *watches* that can't count floors properly.     ... View more

If I don't hear any thing back soon I will be returning my watch for a refund.     Samsung hasn't acknowledged the issue, much less do anything about it.  The thread that I originally found that is specific to the Gear Sport ( https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/wearabletech/page/1/thread-id/21176 ) was started in January 2018 - so basically a year ago - and there's been nothing but silence from Samsung.     ...

Dozens have responded to previous requests like your's above - myself included - and that's the last we ever hear from a Samsung Mod.  It clearly doesn't matter. I'm going to recommend you see @userUuPtK0xKzz's post above, but quoting here for you as well:   Plase stop asking for model numbers. It seems to be on EVERY watch! Instead of annoying us users by asking model numbers and even sending in the watch for repair Samsung should do the following:   1. Confirm that there is a bug in this product. 2. Announce a data for a reliable fix. Either a software update or a hardware replacement. And then see my post from September 21, 2018 (at https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearable-Tech/Galaxy-Watch-not-counting-floors/m-p/396553/highlight/true#M36256 ): This is a long-standing issue that apparently permeates across all of Samsung's watches. It is not specific to one watch or the settings of that watch. It also has nothing to do with what type of phone you connect your watch to (the favorite question of the Samsung Mod's who "try" to help with this issue). It's a core flaw. If you've got the time, there are plenty of posts about this https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearable-Tech/Gear-S3-not-Counting-Floors/m-p/65970/highlight/tr... https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/forums/v3_1/forumtopicpage/board-id/wearabletech/highlight/false... https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Wearable-Tech/Gear-S3-not-Counting-Floors/m-p/65970/highlight/tr... https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Other-Mobile-Devices/Gear-S3-Inaccurate-Floor-Count/m-p/234331/h...               ...
