Tizen OS Update?

[IC3M@N FX]

Weiß einer ob es einen Major Update für Tizen OS 3 raus kommen wird, für den Gear S3 Classic/Frontier es hat sich in letzter Zeit nicht viel bewegt was Updates angeht.
Ich bin zwar zufrieden aber bessere Benachrichtigungen und eine bessere Native whats app Unterstützung wäre super z.b bei Gruppen Chats.....
Schade das Samsung sich nicht mehr ins Zeug legt

 

[Ad@m]

Laut diversen Meldungen soll das Update auch für die Gear S3 ausgerollt werden. Z.B. hier nachzulesen Samsung Gear S3 Classic und Frontier sollen Tizen 3.0-Update bekommen

 

[Petarsson]

Was soll denn Tizen 3.0 auf der Gear neues können? Finde dazu irgendwie nichts...

 

[TheKen]

Denke mal im besten Fall Optimierungen von RAM und Akku sowie halt üblich...

 

[HW-Frischling]

Hier zum Beispiel:
Gear S3 Classic und Frontier erhalten Update mit vielen Verbesserungen

 

[lufkin]

Da geht es nicht um Tizen 3 sondern um das Update auf V2.3.2.3

Tizen 3.0’s New Features for Enhancing Performance

Now, Tizen 3.0 adopts various new features such as high performance graphics, latest web technology, intensified security, and multi-user supports.

Vulkan - New Generation Graphics API: Vulkan, Khronos’ new graphics API, provides one unified API framework for desktop, mobile, console, and embedded unlike its predecessor OpenGL which had different versions for embedded and desktop (OpenGL ES and OpenGL). Vulkan minimizes driver overhead and provides multi-core friendly architecture enabling us to take advantage of multi core CPU’s. Vulkan also enables reduced load on CPUs through the use of batching, leaving the CPU free to do additional computation or rendering.Wayland - Lighter and better display server: To improve performance of Tizen we have moved to a better and lighter display server “Wayland”, which replaces the old X Windowing system. Compared to X, Wayland’s simplified architecture enables it to have better performance, better memory usage and scalability. It is optimal solution for IoT devices with small display.UHD support, Optimized Native Graphics: Tizen 3.0 has also improved native graphics performance greatly. Tizen 3.0 supports UHD display format and the best part is it runs 30% faster compared to Tizen 2.4.Crosswalk: Tizen now supports Crosswalk, an open-source based web runtime built with the latest releases of Chromium and Blink. It is designed to support multi-platform so developers can code once and reuse on other platforms. By using the Crosswalk Project, application developers can:Use all the features available in modern web browsers: HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript.Access the latest recommended and emerging web standards.Use experimental APIs not available in mainstream web browsers.Latest Linux LTS (Long Term Support) Kernel ensures stability, performance and enabling us to use the latest kernel features. Also it enables Tizen to be more secure and up to date with latest kernel features.64-bit support: In order to extend the Tizen HW ecosystem to cover powerful CPU cores, Tizen 3.0 supports 64 bit CPUs including both Intel and ARM architectures. Utilizing high performance with more address space available in 64 bit CPUs, Tizen 3.0 will help developing high performance apps such as video editing and games.Multi-user support: We understand that devices such as Smart TVs/Tablets/Cars are shared by all family members and each of us want to keep it personalized to our own preferences and needs. To accommodate such needs, Tizen 3.0 supports multiple users via logins and multiple sessions. Using Tizen 3.0, each user of a device can control his or her own services, private contents and favorite settings independently from other users.Simple and Flexible Security: Security has been one of Tizen’s major strengths. Strong security, however, has sometimes caused difficulties in managing security policies. To solve these difficulties, Tizen 3.0 introduces a new security model. By grouping same privileged system resources, the complexity of policy management at the kernel level is greatly reduced. For user space access control, we bring in a policy checker called Cynara that checks the application has the privilege to use privileged APIs. This provides a way to implement flexible, fast and safe policy-checking service for granting applications any necessary access to system resources, while it allows access control as API level granularity. Tizen 3.0 also introduces a new anti-virus framework and privacy guard. The privacy guard reports statics on how applications are using each resource such as GPS, Connectivity, and users can control the configuration of the same.User Interface: Tizen 3.0 introduces a host of changes to the User Interface module. Tizen 3.0 now has enhanced voice framework support. We now have speech-to-text support for around 11 languages and text-to-speech support for around 28 languages. Tizen 3.0 now also supports Voice Control via S-Voice.Multimedia: Tizen 3.0 starts to support face recognition and image recognition. Using the new simplified face recognition APIs, we can detect facial expression of a user or recognize faces on images. These newly added multimedia features will enable the developers to develop rich applications with seamless user interaction.

Fixed the server-side handler for the ping-pong protocol which was not working properly.

 

[DAFkus]

Würde mich freuen, wenn sie dann Tab S3 kompatibel wird

 

[mann oh]

Wird eigentlich in der Uhr angezeigt wann ein Update verfügbar ist?
Oder wie bekommt man das mit?

Das machst du auf dem Smartphone in der App "Gear S3"

[Sash2208]

Hat jemand schon eine Idee wann dieses Update kommen wird? So ein paar nützliche Funktionen fehlen mir ja schon wohl...

 

[Onslaught]

Nein, kein Datum bekannt.

 

[mickk]

Wenn ich mir die Folgen der Updates von Android M auf N z.B. beim S6 oder S7 so angucke, habe ich größte Bedenken, ob ich das Update wirklich riskieren will - ohne Chance wieder auf den alten Stand zurückzukommen.

 

[ThinkDifferent]

Falls demnächst ein Update für die Gear S3 mit Tizen 3.0.x erscheinen wird, können sich besonders auch alle iPhone Nutzer freuen. Die Funktionalität von Samsung Health ist erheblich verbessert worden. Fitnessaktivitäten incl. der aufgezeichneten Routen werden dann endlich auch auf dem iPhone in der neuen Samsung Health-APP angezeigt. Zumindest mit der Gear Sport funktioniert das bereits - es ist davon auszugehen, dass dieses mit Tizen 3 auf der S3 dann ebenso funktioniert.

 

[Groschi82]

Danke für die Info
Gibt es eine Quelle dazu?

 

[ThinkDifferent]

@Groschi82
Die Quelle bin ich bzw. meine Gear Sport mit Tizen 3.0.0.0 mit der es so funktioniert.
Beste Grüße

cool , geht auch datenexport zu iOS Health?

geht auch datenexport zu iOS Health?

Nö :-(

 

[TheKen]

IOS Healt da wird wohl eine Apfel Watch nötig sein... Was meiner Meinung nach eh das beste ist...
Innerhalb vom Betriebssystem bleiben erspart einiges an Nerven.
