The S Health-linked widgets (steps, coffee/water, S Health, start exercise) have been disappearing from my watch. When I scroll through the widgets, I just have a blank space there, exactly where that widget had been in the lineup. I've tried a soft and hard reset of the watch. Both worked for a while, but the problem returned. Seems to happen with multiple OEM and 3rd party watch faces, if anyone thought that might make a difference.
Try to reset the watch to see if it works again

I am rooted, running stock with ADW launcher pro. The past two days, my widgets have stopped updating their content.
Some widgets, like google music, will still control the app, however, they will not show the correct song.
-my time does not change.
-I have gentle alarm and the widget is totally unresponsive.
-I have a flashlight widgets which will turn on the phone's flash light, but the widget will not update to show that it is on
-I have a wifi tether widget that will switch the hotspot to on, but the widget once again will not change appearance to show that it is activated.
-I have calengoo which will update after a reset but then will not change again (to the best of my knowledge i havent verified this one yet)
If i reset the phone the time will update to the time of the reset, but will not change after that. I have tried battery pulls, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling widgets. I have tried freezing touchwiz in titanium. i am out of ideas.
Any idea what is causing this partial widget impairment?
For anyone that had a simmilar problem, I solved this by manually restarting ADW from within the ADW settings. I hadn't thought to do this since I didn't see how it would be different from resetting my phone, but something must be altered when it is manually restarting, perhaps a cache?
Problem Solved
Yesterday, after adding a bunch of watch faces, I went to the Samsung Gear app on the phone to reorder the faces, and suddenly couldn't reorganize them anymore. I tried rebooting the phone, force stopping the app, and clearing the cache. Still nothing.
Then, I figured, maybe clearing reinstalling the app. I tried both, and then noticed my watch automatically said, "Performing light reset". I'm not sure what the difference between light reset and factory reset is, but they seemed the same to me! All apps gone, all settings gone, watch faces gone, etc.
Luckily, I had done a backup, so I went in and restored, which was nice - it automatically reloaded all of my apps. But it didn't put them back in the order I liked, and the settings on my widgets weren't restored (contacts/apps). It didn't put the watch faces back on the watch, just on the app. Plus, although it showed the watch faces, but I couldn't put them on the watch. I'd tap them on the app, and nothing would happen. Most annoying, when I used Gear Watch Designer to put the watch faces back on the watch, they showed up twice on the phone app, and still, touching one of them, nothing would happen. I can't even delete them off!
Finally, today, I get the update (R760XXU1APK7), and nothing changed, so I decided to clear data and reinstall the phone app, and of course, the watch "light resets" again. I decided not restore data, but to manually reinstall so I don't have these duplicate/non-working faces showing on the app. That worked - but I still can't reorder any of them. Weird. Anyone else still able to move them via the phone? (or could then couldn't?)
(And yes, I can still reorder them on the watch, just not the phone)
Hi, I am trying to use Facer but after I've loaded a few faces, it really seems to freeze up when syncing gear. I need to restart the watch.
Second problem is scrolling between watch faces sometimes is impossible due to lag or the app freezing again (not sure which). I've tried uninstalling but then I lose all the faces I've downloaded and it doesn't seem to retain them in the phone app either.
Anyone else finding problems with this app on the S3?
I designed a watch face for my Fit2 Pro with GWD (most recent ver) and everything works except for one thing: the count for HR, Steps, Floors, and kCals are now stuck. They do not reset at midnight like they're supposed to, and I've tried uninstall/reinstalling the watch face, resetting the Gear, and rebuilding the package and then reinstalling. Nothing seems to reset those counters. I verified that those text fields are data-sync'd to the correct selections with '%d' as the string. Any help would be welcome.
Oh, and I also verified the Gear itself is reporting correct data by switching to a built in face with similar info and it shows correct.
Recently, whenever I try to start the Galaxy Wear app, I'm greeted with a black screen, and nothing really happens.
All usual solutions, such as clearing the app data or reinstalling it help, for a short while, but being a Watch 4 user - doing so causes me to go through all the pain of resetting my watch and reinstalling all user apps.
Being also a Galaxy Buds owner, this makes it impossible for me to change the settings for my buds - like noise cancellation or touch functionality.
Since there's no real restore option for the watch, this becomes a real nuisance.
Any help will be appreciated.
