I would imagine it would take a little common sense if it's known that the Beta is open to LTE versions with T-Mobile as a carrier, to turn LTE on before applying for the Beta.  There would be no reason to specify T-Mobile as a carrier if the LTE did not need to be on so it can be verified. I'm sure they would also want you to keep LTE on during the entire course of the Beta, even though that probably is not specifically spelled out.  Who pays for an LTE add-on plan and then keeps it turned off?  It's not active or using battery if the watch is connected to a phone via BT.  Mobile only activates when the watch's BT connection is severed.

Turning it off and on as needed is my choice, as I use it the way I need to...

Yes, it is.  And because of that choice, you missed out.  This isn't on anyone but you.

The T-Mobile requirement is absurd, period. And so is the LTE Requirement. And I say this as a hardware product manager in tech.

It is not. T-Mobile is the only carrier that participates in Betas. You can't force a carrier to participate of they choose not to. The LTE requirement is also not absurd, as they need to make sure the software doesn't mess with the LTE. And, it also does not matter if you think it's absurd, Samsung has the right to set any criteria they want for participation. It's absurd that you pay for a watch line and then keep the LTE off. You can do what you want, and Samsung can do what they want. The fact is you missed out on your chance to participate because you did not meet the criteria at the time you tried to enroll. Just because you have a certain job title, doesn't mean you are good at your job and it also means beans about whether the requirements are necessary or not. Even if you met the requirements, you were not guaranteed a spot anyway. You sound like a child.

Does anyone know what's going to happen with the Ui 8 beta program and why it is only for T-mobile? I had to find out the hard way only that carrier will recieve the download even though I was able to join the beta. I was pretty excited to try the new features and now all I can do is stare at the beta program in annoyance now.
