[Q] Anyone else had this happen - Samsung Gear 2

So far I've had this happen a couple of times. I'll look down and my watch has changed faces, it always seems to revert back to the stock watch face. Just wondering if I'm the only one with this happening.

Nope, it's happened to me a couple of times. I just figured it was an error in the watchface that was active and set it back. It's a pretty low error rate, so I'm just dealing with it. =-]

Vibration weakening over time.

Several days ago I noticed I began missing notifications on my Gear. It took me a while to realise the reason for that. My watch vibration is now so weak to the point I don't feel it. It wasn't very strong to begin with, but now it deteriorated to the point it's useless. I have done a couple of factory resets, it didn't help. One thing I haven't tried yet is hard reset.
Anyone else experiencing this?

I think yours is faulty and your problem is not common. Yes, the vibrate is weaker than it should be. I believe this "may" be correctable in firmware as I am not sure that even set to high, we are actually getting maximum vibration. But I don't recall anyone saying it is changing over time....just not strong enough to begin with. You may need to get yours swapped out.

You could just be getting used to it. My old Sony Ericsson MBW-150 vibrated a lot stronger than my Gear 2, but after a few hours sometimes I didn't notice it either. Hopefully we get a fix to make it stronger either from Samsung or a rooted ROM.

My SW2 occasionally resets and unpairs itself.

Just wondering if anyone else has a similar issue - every so often it will just decide to reset, and get into the unpaired mode. On the phone I have to un-pair, and re-pair the device.
It happened to me only once. I think it is a memory issue. If it gets more than it can handle, it resets itself but this is just a wild guess.

Happens to me every so often too! Very annoying.

I am observing this too, not very often though. I do lose BT connectivity sometimes, however, which is fixed by switching BT off and on again in the watch settings.
Happend to be me once too but was not such a big deal had to restart it and then wait untill the apps got back to the watch.
But might be that the watch runs out of RAM as thearif suggested.
So what would be the best way of resolving this - have less apps installed on the watch?

I have a hunch that this may happen when the watch has been out of Bluetooth range of the phone too many times. I have had this happen unpairing happen on several occasions, usually when I have gone up- and downstairs a few times without my phone, or if I leave my phone in my office at work and go to pick up print-outs....
For me this happens even when the watch lays next to the phone. It doing it few times daily. Goes off and then back on. It doesnt loose pairing or connectivity, well... only few times i have had to reboot the watch to get it ON (or turned off the Bt from the phone).

I have this problem few times also. It happen often when I change or modify watchface on Sony app editor.

[Completed] Having response problems in the morning/pandora

I just switched from a iPhone 4s and am getting used to Android and the Turbo. I have had it for about a week, and on two of the mornings when I woke up it seems to stall and be unresponsive. I am not the most technology aware person so I am not sure of the cause. When it happens, I reboot the phone and it seems to work okay. Should I take it into the store and get a new one or is this a normal problem with Androids. I am not saying iPhone doesn't do it, but I just want to make sure it's not my phone that is defective before the window passes where I can exchange it.
Note: I do charge it all night, could it have something to do with being on the charger for too long?
Another issue, and it may just be the Pandora App. Pandora seems to be very slow and unresponsive and many times it asks me to send in a report. I am not familiar with this issue and again, do not know if it is the app or the phone.
Any suggestions?
There are cases and reasons when your phone might be slow to act in the morning. It happens some times. Pandora might be more of a symptom in that direction. Can you please specify your device details so we can get more accurate help ?

S2 keeps locking when on my wrist

As in the title, now that I have turned on the lock which should only activate when I take off the watch I find that it activates while still on my wrist. This is happening seemingly randomly several times a day and is quite annoying. I like the security of it locking if it's not on my wrist but it is becoming a nuisance. Anyone having a similar problem?
I'm having the same problem. I found this post from a Google search, hoping to find a solution.
Were you able to figure it out?
same issue here. very annoying. i've ended up disabling the PIN lock because it keeps happening (i assume because it's not super tight on my wrist, but i don't want it too tight).
It seems to be one of a few glitches on the gear S2 (i also can't tag HR measurements, and the weather app often won't refresh if my Note4 hasn't been used in a few hours).
pretty disappointed with Samsung since these issues have been around for months.
It's weird because mine does too, yet my bf's doesn't. I'm thinking to just reset to factory and start over.
This is an old thread, but did anyone ever find a solution? Mine was working fine until I started disabling things to extend battery life... now it locks as soon as the screen blanks. I have a feeling there's something it needs for heartrate monitor that I disabled... any ideas? Thanks

Hourly chime for each watch face???

Hello. First time poster. I came online looking to see if there is a solution to an annoying problem I have ever since the update that added hourly chime to my watch. I thought it was just supposed to be one, pleasant chime at the top of the hour. Well, mine chimes, but not just once. It seems to chime at least 5 times (once for each watch face, maybe??). I deleted a few watch faces to see if it helped, and it seemed to, but there are watch faces you can't delete.
Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how to fix it? It's annoying.
