Has anyone with AT&T, or other carrier, who has a Samsung phone and Samsung Gear, and recieved the latest update, suddenly unable to forward to the Gear S?
Reports are coming in from AT&T customers the "Call forwarding" feature has been removed at the request of AT&T, making the Gear S an expensive and pointless device.
Report the problem if any with details.
Thanks.

According to those with more inside info than I, yes.
This function may still be functioning after the update with other carriers.
Those with Note phones seem to be the first effected.
So far other Samsung phones are not complaining
Only those with the 4.4.4 update are effected. Previous Kit kat 4.4.2 is not an issue.
Speculation that Apple may have applied pressure. Perhaps iphone 6 new features are in direct competition and then the Apple watch is due out in a few months?
Strictly speculation - no facts
Waiting for Samsung to respond.....
If there is a reply you may get it at 1800SAMSUNG (USA.)
Yes, waiting for response to email.
Still would like to know if others are effected or if it's a fluke. Not many Note phones are getting the 4.4.4 update yet and the Note 3 has not.
