Question Turn off rotation - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Some how auto screen rotation had turned on. How can I turn it off via watch it in ADB?

Does the entire os rotate, specific apps, or just the watch faces?

Sounds like your watch face? What one do you use...

Basic questions

Hi
I've got a couple of basic questions about this watch that I can't find the answer to online.
1. With the always-on screen, I've seen that the display is dimmer than the full on screen (as well as simpified design/colours etc). Can it be seen outdoors in direct sunlight? Does the brightness automatically increase, or does the screen need to be woken up to see in sunlight? If so, how do you do this? Flick your wrist?
2. When a notification comes in, what happens? Does it slide over the watchface and fill the screen? If so, and you don't swipe it away, how long does it stay there for?
Many thanks
Anyone....?

Always-on screen is fine in the sun, although it depends on the watch face you're using. Some custom watch faces are barely readable in pitch dark, let alone in the sun ☺
I don't think that the auto brightness works in "always - on" mode, it only works when the watch screen is fully on.
Waking up the device is dead easy, every time you look at it, on turning your wrist it switches on immediately. It's sensors are very precise so the whole operation is really smooth.
When a notification comes in you just feel a small vibration, the screen stays off until you look at it. As soon as you turn it on, you will see a small yellow indicator, that means you can slide left and see the notifications received.
If you happen to be using the watch while the notification comes in, you get a small heads up notification on top of the screen, that disappears after a few seconds. Clicking on it will open the notification.

No yellow indicator in always on mode?

I received my Geaar S3 Frontier yesterday, switching from an Android wear watch.
After playing around with the watch for several hours and testing many different watch faces I can't figur out how to display the yellow indicator for new notifications in ambient mode (AOD activated).
Do I really have to enter "active mode" to see if I have unread notifications?
Yes, you have.
In aod only static information, apart from the hour/date, can be shown. Battery cannot be showed also!

Same experience but reviving this topic just in case there is any new setting/workaround? Love to keep my phone with AOD on, Wake Up Gesture off (so that when i'm out dancing or just moving my hands around it doesn't turn on for no reason), but would love to just turn my wrist and see if there is a notification (ie. screen remains dim).
There's a difference between knowing that there is a notification and being able to read it's contents.
My watch settings:
AOD
Wake up gesture- off
Notification indicator- show on watch face
Sound and vibrate- on (wine cork sound is relatively unobtrusive)
My Gear Manager app settings:
Turn screen on- off (if this is on, notifications will automatically be readable on the screen)
Notification indicator- on
Auto show- off, I know there's a notification because it beeps but it doesn't activate screen so I can't read it.
Auto show- on, tapping on the screen will show message.
There's a lot of flexibility. A notification can be silent, trigger a sound, trigger a vibration, or trigger an indicator. The contents of the notification can be automatically displayed, displayed by a wrist gesture, displayed by a simple tap, or not displayed at all.

Samsung Gear S3 Wake-up Gesture & Time-out

Is there a third party app that allows you to use the wakeup gesture...*however*...adjust the screen time-out to more than 6 seconds when viewing the watch this way?
I believe this is well known - however, the screen time-out feature ONLY works when you turn on the watch in some other way than using the wake-up feature. If, say, you turn the bezel or hit the button to turn it on, then the screen time-out setting will be used (as whatever you set it to). However, I have no found a way to adjust the time-out when the watch is turned on via raising your wrist (aka Wake-up Gesture enabled).
Thanks, in advance,
Rob

Missing Features?

Finally had some time to play with the new 7 Pro this weekend and am wondering about a couple things.
Im using Textra for SMS/MMS and the only option I can find is for the whole screen to turn on when I get a text. Any other option that doesn't turn the entire screen on but notifies me of a text? No notification lights?
Built in pedometer or health app for monitoring how much you walk/run/bike?
No music app? Google Music is what it comes with?
Thanks
Ambient display just shows the message, make sure that's enabled
Get Google Fit for monitoring activities
For a music app just get one from the Play Store

Thanks for those!
I had ambient turned off, much better with all notifications but Textra messages still turn the whole screen on for 3-4 seconds. Wish it didn't do that
I dont have any notification lights though. If the screen is off and I miss the ambient display message, there's no way to know I missed a call or message without touching the screen?
Im having an issue with turning the screen off and my music app turns on and starts playing music. Happened 3 times now and I have no clue how Im staring it up as I put my phone away. Any ideas?

This is likely due to Gestures turned on for music.
Buttons & Gestures > Quick Gestures > Music Control toggle
