Hi,
Is it possible to set my default Gear S3 view to a custom widget instead of the main clock?
For example: whenever I open a widget, it stays on my screen until the screen timesout (15 seconds for me). When I turn my wrist, it takes me to the clock instead of the widget I was previously viewing.
Would anyone happen to know how I can configure this watch so that the last opened app / widget is shown after waking up my watch? I don't care about the clock feature itself... in fact, I'd rather just uninstall it & have my custom widget as the primary screen.
Thanks

Hello,
i own a Desire S. I disabled the Networktraffic, by erasing the APN under settings. I only use the WLAN to access the internet.
Beneath the clock on the home screen there is the Weather information form my Location. This Weather information is changing from sunny to cloudy and so on.
I wonder where the data for this information is comming from. I thought I disabled all Networkconnections. I haven't turn on the WLAN-Connection for 4 or 5 days and the Weather Information is still uptodate.
I don't understand where the Data for the Weather Information is comming from or haven't I turned off the network connections complety?
I installed Stats free and it has 0 KB in the "2G/3G/4G Network"
Can someone explain this to me?
Regards
Felix

when the weather widget receives data it receives data for the next 4 days i think that is the answer to your question
You don't have to delete the APN. Just uncheck(turn off) Mobile Network from quick settings.
And yes, when you update the weather, it receives data for current day and the next 4.
thanks for the answers.
btw, is there a way to delete the weater animation from the homescreen and only keep the digital clock?

Untick Show Full Screen Animation in the weather options.

If you want to want to remove the full screen weather effects then long press and then drag the the clock homescreen widget down to the EDIT, and after selecting the city you'll be able to un-tick the "Show full screen animation" option.
If you want to remove simply the weather from underneath the clock widget then I don't think that this is possible with this HTC widget.
So you'll have to find a different widget, HTC have the one with the weather oor a similar one with Facebook updates....
There are other similar style clock widgets that you'll find in the market without any weather, I think that theres one like this in the Beautiful Widgets (free or lite) set.
it's happened quite a few times now with various weather/clock widgets (Simi Clock, Beweather, Beautiful Widgets Clock Weather) that they show a different time than what Android shows in the status bar.
Just now, the BeWeather weather clock widget has gotten stuck at 18.38. I can fix this with a reboot but it's annoying and I don't want to have to keep rebooting.
Any ideas?
hey there !
it sounds like you've either supercharced your phone or check the option of "lock homescreen in memroy".
the first one is a script that you can run and makes you save the home screen as-is.
either way there's an option to disable it to stop the "supercharge" nor uncheck the option on rom settings.
Compared to the note 4 there are some key things missing or I have no idea how to enable them.
Lock Screen: is there a way to show the amount of steps taken?
Alarm: is there a way for it to tell you how long you have until the alarm goes off? Is it possible to show next alarm on the lock screen, clock widget or app tray? You have to go into the app everything to confirm you set it for the right time.
Clock Widget: is it possible to make it so when you tap the clock and not the weather it opens the clock app?
So I have a daily recurring event set up to remind me to do something every day. In the morning when the notification pops up I always just dismiss it. What's weird is that on the ambient display, the event still shows until the event time has passed (8am). It shows even after I've dismissed the reminder. I have no idea why this is happening. Any thoughts?
I noticed this last night. I believe you can long press on the Date/Weather widget > preferences > uncheck the option(s). I just changed mine this morning so I can't confirm but I think that'll change it.
i'm not sure which widget you're referring to. i don't have any on my home screen.

It's the default date and weather widget on the default pixel launcher at the top of the home screen.

Correct, guessing you can access the setting somewhere else but that is the only place I am familiar with.
You can get to that sub menu from the main launcher settings too. And if you're using a 3rd party launcher, you'd have to temporarily change your launcher back to stock pixel launcher to get to those settings
I've installed Nice lock because Good Lock isn't available in my country.
Then I installed "Clockface", with which I once set a new clock for the lock screen.
Now everytime I want to change that clock, it won't change!
Even those "native" clocks from Samsung won't show (the clock shows but only the first one I set some time ago)
Does anyone have this problem?
