I have the S2 Classic 4G, and I'm sure like many of us, we get bored and occasionally find a new watch face that we like, and install it. But I'm wondering if anyone else has ran into the issue where you've changed the watch face, then looked at it a bit later and it's set to the default watch face. It's like the watch face crashes, so it just reverts to the default.
I've had this happen on several different ones (for example, I purchased the Sumo one from the Gear App store today and just looked at it and sure enough it was back to the default.)
Software version: R735TUVU2BPC5.

Has anyone been able to get this working on the S2?
The preview images when app show it working on an S2. I can go through the setup on the watch but it doesn't seem to be changing the watch face.
Hello Fellow Wear Users and Devs,
I just got the HW2 the other day and since then have done all possible updates. One thing I am curious about is the watch mode. It seems after the N7176C update (US BT LEO-BX9) the watchface for watch mode has changed. This got me wondering if there is a way to change that watchface all together. I have pulled what I think is the app that controls this known as SuperSavePower.apk. I'll see if I can upload it somewhere for someone to mess with if they so choose. Has anyone else had success in changing the low power watch mode watchface?
Yes i have watch2 classic and new n7176c build has changed watch mofe from analog to classic which is not my taste. Anyone else got update? And can conrirm if we can go back to analog...
I got the update as well but can't pull the new version of the app. I do like the new settings but not the digital watchface. Maybe I can pull the app via adb and see if it is possible to make changes to it. However, I am in no way a dev therefore I'm not always knowing if what is the best way to achieve said result.
I like the new digital watch face more than the old one. But I think it is sad that you can't choose if you want a digital or analog..
Gear S3 : Quick & simple fix for annoying moving bezel problem on my Gear S3 Frontier
UPDATED 19-11-17
Hi.
I finally found a quick and simple way to fix an annoying problem on my Gear S3 Frontier watch;
i.e. as the bezel turns too easily, it was constantly turning, which changes the display when I did not want it to.
Here's what I did as a fix for now until Samsung or someone else can give us a different solution.
Taking a length of black cotton thread, I wound it tightly round and under the bezel. I found that the more times you wind, the more difficult it becomes to turn the bezel. I think I did two or three winds around. Then I tied a couple of knots to secure the cotton and cut off any extra thread so its not showing. Now the bezel will not move so easily. Also, I turned-off the wake-up gesture under Device, as I do not want it to go into AOD mode. The watch face stays on until the time-out, which I set to 5 minutes. I also use the Flaunt widget when I want it to stay on for 30 minutes.
I now enjoy my selected watch faces without them being easily changed due to bezel movement.
Please Note: I have not had any problems with the bezel to date, and I will not be responsible for any problems you may have with your watch if you do try out this idea. You will be doing so at your own risk.
Thanks.
Have the same problem!
I have the same problem randomly appears... I have the watch like a week. Is there any other solution ? Should i take it to Samsung service and check it ?
Thanks you.
Does it fix the Heart rate complication on 3rd party watch faces?
Fix it? It is supposed to improve accuracy. According to the developer who did the watch faces I use this was an issue with the watch face developer tool (Watch Face Studio) and not the watch. I had the same issue and several weeks ago they came out with new version of Watch Face Studio. He updated the faces with new version and HR works great now.

Oh.
But all wear os watch faces don't work either - so I thought it was something to do with the firmware.
Which 3rd party watch face do you use where heart rate complication works? Does it work in real-time like all the other samsung stock watch faces?
Mateo Dinis wear os watch faces work great with heart rate....

I use Mateo Dini faces as well. With his faces it gives you a new HR number when you tap the HR on face. Before the Watch Face Studio update this feature was not working. I think him doing it this way was intentional. Not sure why.
The stock faces do not do it in real time (when you turn wrist). I never use stock faces but I tried one for a bit to test. The number is changing so I imagine it is value of when HR measurement was last taken. If your watch is set to every 10 minutes (as mine is) the face will probably have different value every 10 minutes.
I plan on asking Matteo about this. I suspect there is some issue with Watch Face Studio and setting up face to get the last measurement from the watch. I don't believe this is issue with firmware on watch.

The solution for this is on Reddit - you have the option to select detailed notifications in the notifications settings.

My man! Thanks for that! It worked before I updated last night. Glad it's back.

Happy to help - still waiting on the update here in Canada. Did it fix the silent notifications issue with Gmail?

My Gmail notifications weren't a big issue. The issue I've had with notifications is sometimes I either wouldn't get some, or I would but no sound, vibration, and it didn't pop up on the screen, but they would be on the watch. But for all apps, not just Gmail. I guess I haven't really paid much attention today, but I'm pretty sure I got all of them. I'll report back tomorrow.
I did just notice that the laser stopped flickering and is just full on... Not t sure what's up with that. I rebooted, same. Hopefully it passes.

I use a Matteo Dini face as well MD111, however there's no way to display UV index in the complications. Know any MD faces that can show it ?
Where are you guys mostly getting your watch faces from?
When you have an app open, if it goes for a few seconds without you looking at it or interacting with the app, a digital watch screensaver goes over the app. Is there a way to turn this off? I use my watch for Google maps all the time and the digital clock drives me insane. I always have AOD on as well. I wish at worse the app would just dim like the watch face does with AOD.
I too am looking for a fix, this feature or whatever you call it is horrible.
It seems I read something about a week ago on how to remove this but I can't find that source/guide again
You can´t remove it, but try to turn off AOD, this might help
It's definitely a pain and we haven't seen any pliable work around...
I want this too. But, alas, as far as I know, it is not possible to turn off the stupid digital time screensaver. It is annoying. And turning of AOD is never an option for me.
Saw somewhere else a suggestion to use a paid app called "Staylit Wear". I just installed it and gave it a quick try with the workouts, and it seems to be keeping the display on at all times (had set it to unlimited).
Coming from a Watch3, I can't believe how in a few aspects, the Watch4 is a downgrade in useability. The problem seems to be the same on the Watch5 as well. My guess is that this issue may have happened with the transition to WearOS, where some of the functions are governed by the OS, but if a third party app can solve it, surely Samsung can as well
Hi, any update solution for this case? This still sooooo anoying when i want to check watch when driving
