Any know how to get the gear 2 to display the correct time. Every watch face i download is stuck at the default time. I resetted the watch and phone and problem still persists.
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.
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.
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.

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?
