Mine show me running session when i'm still on chair. Factory reset no works for me...

Mine gave me 40 hours of normal use and was only at 50% so I'm not complaining. Weather works better too.

Mine keeps telling me to get off my ass and get active. Kind of hard to do while sitting at a computer writing lines of code. Then it gets excited when I blow my nose as it thinks I'm exercising. Go figure...

Same here, but to be fair it does give you some stretching options if you decline to get off your ass [emoji3]

You can turn that off in Notifications. I sure did!

Where do you do that? In Gear Manager? A specific app? I must be overlooking it!

Go to SHealth on the watch apps; scroll all the way over to Settings, then turn off Health Nudges. That should do it.

Never would have found it as I've never actually fired up that on the watch. Thanks! :good:

Try to reset the watch. Cut the BT on the phone so it doesn't start pairing, go into the tools on the watch and chose reset.
Put the watch off and now delete pairing on the phone and reboot it to be sure the watch is no longer paired.
Now start the pairing process all over.
Hope this helps

Mine too. Suddenly decided after a week to continually disconnect from phone. Get a message saying 'unfortunately smartwatch 2 had stopped working'. Tried every reset. Annoyingly it works fine on my wife's galaxy s4. Really hope it's not the z1 that's knackered! Returning on Monday.

If it works fine with your wife's s4 than its not the problem with the watch.
Its the problem on your phone with smartwatch 2 app.
Try to delete data and reinstall app on phone, delete pairing and reset watch and start again.
Bad watch is the one that doesnt work on any phone...

Yeah, hopefully mine will be picked up today, but I'm told it may be up to 14 days for replacement. And they kept talking about repair when talking on the phone when it was DOA, hopefully they took on board that it just needs replaced...
I have exactly the same issue. I have tried multiple phones, but no dice..... cant reset it from tools as cant get past the clock screen. Going to try to update the fw and see what happens

Samsung Pay
Does anyone when our what's up with samsung pay app for the gear s2 is it out yet my watch says no payment app installed in the tap and pay section
Same issue!!
Same problem here. I tried to use the tap-n-pay at a location where I normally use my Samsung Pay on my Galaxy S6 Edge, and nothing happened. On my Gear S2 watch I went into Settings/Connections/NFC, then scroll down to Tap and Pay - and I get a screen which says, "Tap and pay (then shows sketch of tap n pay) No installed payment apps"
And unfortunately there is no Samsung Pay app in the Gear app store. So upset about this.

Not for me. If the screen is on the always on clock then I get notifications. If its on the black only screen I get nothing. This isnt working like it should. Ive tired everything. Ive turned on always on mode and then turned of wrist gestures and the always on clock will only stay on for about an hour and then it will just be a black screen and Ill get nothing. With always on set to on and wrist gestures to on I will only get notification if the screen just turned off or always on clock showing.
Are you using the Oneplus 2?

s health issues

Just got my Samsung Gear s2 today and love it so far except for s health. I can't get anything to work. I've been walking all over the place and it's not registering any steps. When I do my heart rate it says try again and nothing registers. I've been researching this for a couple of hours now and I keep coming across something that talks about the s health manager and I have yest to find that. Is it something on my phone or on the watch itself.? What am I doing wrong?
What phone are you using? S Health features only work with Samsung phones.

Really? Well, that is good news for people who do not have a Samsung phone. I read it in a review of the GS2 and originally the S Health app was only available through the Samsung app store. I double checked and it is indeed now available in Google Play.
Thanks for this insight!

I am using a Samsung mega. I finally got it to work. Well what I should say is I went back and did a factory reset and then it worked fine. Now if I can just figure out how to make the sleep quality part work. All it registers is how many hours I sleep (or don't sleep) and I have to put that in manually.

It doesn't track sleep like you are looking for. I'm guessing that may be coming in a future update.

The first one I had did the same thing yours did. I had to reset it to get steps and heart rate to work. I had lots of trouble with notifications on this watch as well and was having to reset it all the time. I took it back and swapped it and the second one has worked near perfect. I think it has only missed one notification so far and the other one was about 50/50. I would watch it close and return it if need be while you can.

ok this has never happen before until i got this phone.

Okay, so I've had many phones before this one and none of them ever done this before..
So I was at work and my phone was in my pocket with a iris and password lock on but I've just noticed it's on the lockscreen witch is dumb… but anyway, somehow inside my pocket I called 911 due to somehow turning on the phone inside my pocket and pressing the emergency button..
So my question is since this has never happen before if I can somehow disable that button and possibly make it invisible and no longer there so I don't do it again.
I googled and some said if I used another lock screen from the market but I don't wanna do that unless I have to and plus idk which one would be good for this phone in the first place…
So please, someone help lol I gotta work tomorrow and don't wanna pocket dial 911 again.
Also am I the only one who has done this with this phone or is it a common issue?
Keep screen turned off option in display.
Pretty sure that will do it

It was on. Im trying to remove it all together tho if possible.
It turns out I need root or download another lock screen… which will suck because idk if I can use my iris scanner if do that
Well, I am guessing the emergency call thing has to be there legally...
I cant find the setting (the one how when you press home it goes straight to pin?)
Turn that off so atleast you will have to swipe up to get to where the emergency button is.
(i know this isnt a fix but its another step you have to accidentally do)
This has got to be one in a million. It's a lot of very specific presses, swipes, and numbers that Have To be pressed.

Well for my screen it's right where you type the password or do the iris scan. And I pressed it to see if it calls right to 911 and it doesn't but theres another button after that it does.

Food for thought. Are you sure you didn't have the triple click power enabled and that is what placed the call?

As much as I love it I'm gonna have to turn off the always on display because that's probably why it came on.

weird always on display issue

help needed
i have a strange issue i cant figure out.
always on display...on my galaxy s8+...got an analogue clock on it....but when i take phone from my pocket its always showing the wrong time, typically the time of when i put the phone in my pocket...like time doesnt update on it....second hand is still going around on the always on display clock but it doesnt update the time.
if i am explaining that to make sense.
both o.s. and a.o.d. are updated. neither a.o.d. or clock are in any doze or battery optimization lists. and i am not using power saving mode.
Try to go into Settings->Apps->Always on Display and storage and delete data and cache. Might help.

Dont know if it`s gonna help but try : settings - display - untick "keep screen turned off". Maybe when the phone is in your pocket AOD turns off and when you take it out it doesnt update or something
still same with that. again, thanks for trying and your time.
its trivial anyway as digital clock is ok...just liked the analogue one, thats all.
