Question Audio Guide while walking - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hallo all,
I own a GW4 Classic. I used to own the GW. During walking i used to have audio messages every 1 km with the GW. It would tell me my heartbeat, average speed and so on. With my new GW4 i can't get any sound out of it. Firmware version DUJA. All notifications, system, ringtone, audio, media and so on work fine. All settings are standard, i resseted the watch twice. It should work out of the box.
The audio Guide is on and i set the frequency on one min. for instance, start walking. After one minute, it vibrates with a black screen with green letters telling me the distance. Thats all.
I can not imagine it is a hardware problem? What do you guys think?

New DUK1 firmware today, but still no luck.
Can somebody do this test please, before i send it fir repair?
1. Select activity "walking"
2. Before it starts, press the "gear wheel" at the bottom for settings.
3. Audio guide should be on.
4. Pauze should be off.
5. Frequentie put on time : 1 min.
6. Go out of settings and let it go.
7. does it give you an audio update after 1 min?
Mine just vibrates with a black screen an green text with distance.
It would be nice if somebody could help me!
Greetings,
Frank

Interesting. I have used this when cycling, while connected to my Galaxy Buds+. I've never touched the settings, and it worked just fine. Actually glad to know that I can adjust it or turn it off. Might be an obvious question, but are you using headphones/earbuds? If not, you've no doubt checked the audio settings on your watch?

Thx for your reply. I do not use headphones. I checked all the audio settings and no luck. It should work out of the box. Thats why i reset the watch before. Sound should come out of the speaker of the watch without headphones.

Right, I see that now in your original post. I would suggest you keep playing with it, trying various options, settings, etc., and not send it in for repair (at least not yet). The feature works, and in my experience, this kind of issue is most likely not a repair issue, but a setting or system limitation issue.

I am trying for 2 weeks already. Deleted the apps completely. Deleted the plugins for the watch. Reset to factory 3 times. New firmware this morning. Twice contact with Samsung. I am completely lost.....

Deleted the apps completely? Isn't that a systems app?

Don't think so Samsung wearable is an Android app. Together with a plugin it connects to your phone thru BT. Then you have Samsung health for your fitness stuff and Samsung health monitor for ECG and Blood Pressure.
I deleted all, deleted storage and cache first. Like i said, if you delete all the apps, reset the watch, and do not roll back a backup, it should be as out of the factory. Connect to Wearable app, the plugin is installed and all should work as out of the box. Nobody complains about this "audio guide" feature, so it looks like it's only my watch which is faulty.
Would be nice if i got some feedback, if other people struggle with this feature.

Thx for your post. After your remark to not send it for repair i gave it another try. Reset the watch, installed the wearable app again without restoring a backup. Guess...... it didn't work. But then i restored my latest backup. It didn't work. Then i was goin thru all the settings and i noticed one setting i could try. GENERAL > INPUT > LANGUAGE. I was able to download a Dutch language pack. And you won't believe it, but it works. I am so happy. It cost me two weeks!

That's great to hear! I figured it had to be a software issue given that you know your hardware is fine (as audio is working), so glad you found it and sorted it out in the end!

Thank you!

Few days ago I have install last firmware (photo in attach) and now i have a same problem. Almost one year I used it for running (gw4), and after every km I got audio guidence, now I only have vibration, screen turns on for a few seconds but without any voice. Any idea how to solve this irritating problem? Thanks

For me it worked to change default language on my phone (and not watch) to english. Bad solution, but it is working

[Q] The phone is making sounds....

So I have my N5 for a couple months now, running stock ROM with stock launcher, rooted with Xposed tho.
Today while sitting around with some friends it made a sound I never heard before, sounds like some kind of notification but no notification was found... I open the lock screen and there's nothing. Then, while I holding it and looking at it the sound beeped again... My friends thought I was an idiot but then it happened again!
3 times in about 2 minutes and I have no idea what it was, there was no indication of anything on screen or in the notification area and I never heard that notification sound before...
Is there any way to find out what that was? Or any place that shows exactly which notification sounds are configured? Cause this is having me worried...
It's been a couple of hours since then and it hasn't happened again.
It was me, I was trying to contact you...

I had this also before while using a rooted S3. I can hear a faint sound but no notification, although at one point I did notice a toast notification fading. So assumed it was one of the apps I installed that requires root (probably greenify at that time) that is kicking in and that supersu was giving the toast notification.
maybe change the notification method on the supersu you are using or check the logs
I haven't encountered this on my Nexus as I'm not rooted

My wife's GNex was doing this a while back. It drove me CRAZY! I figured maybe it was an app that she installed, but she claimed she didn't install any new apps. So then I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone even though it was completely stock. Then, when she got a G2,she installed all her apps, and it made that same sound AGAIN! I took her phone and tried to figure it out.
Long story short, it was her Yahoo email app. In the settings, it was set to not show notifications in the statusbar. However, it was still set to make a notification sound. I don't know who would make an app that would allow you to hide the notification, but still PLAY THE DANG NOTIFICATION SOUND! Anyways, it sounds like you may have an app installed that behaves the same way?

This would make sense but I didn't install anything lately and am generally very very aware of anything I put on my phone and after that I greenify almost everything...
The only thing I found possible is that I seem to have forgotten to greenify Zedge and when I checked processes last night it had a service running. Maybe that was it? I greenified it after that of course.
Anyone know of a notification sound Zedge makes? I found nothing in settings.
Maybe it was a NFC chip close to some readable tags (like credit cards with tap to pay possibilities)? Check how it sounds...it can be it ...

Stepback! We got a winner!
After you said that I remembered that the phone was sitting on my wallet at the time, tried it again and there's that sound again. So now I know what it is generally but why does it beep? Simply to let me know that there's a NFC card around? Does it read it? Kinda uncool that it reads my credit card when I didn't ask it too...
Yep, it reads it, but only some common data, nothing to worry about . You can check what it reads by installing some NFC app like NFC tools.

Do you have fb messenger installed? For me, it does the ghost notifications. I chat on fb on pc, then I stop. About 1-2 hours later my phone get ghost notifications.
I chat again on fb on pc, then i stop chating on fb. Start using my phone after I stopped chatting on fb on pc. After 10-20 mins I get the notifactions for incoming messages on fb chat on phone even after I replied to them and seen all of them on pc. These notifications disappiers as soon as the notification sound goes off

Aight good to know.
I turned off NFC now as I don't use it at all and I see no reason why it should be running. I guess we always have something new to learn about these phones huh?
Thanks again.

Lol, yes ! NFC Tools is awesome
was it this sound: (youtube.com/watch?v=wrKujB1JACk) ?
This was also driving me crazy for a few months, also slowing my phone down and heating the battery to around 40c! i guess there was something bad on my nfc cards...

[Q] Not Able To Start Video Capture

Since taking 4.4.4 (and rooted), I have been unable to record any video in either the stock app or the google camera (haven't tried any 3rd party beyond that). Pictures are fine, but trying to take any video with the moto stock camera gives the following error msg on screen:
"Not able to start video capture"

Did not work for me! I have a Motorola Maxx XT1080 with 4.4.4. Upon re-boot, video capture works first time, but fails every time thereafter with error message "Not able to start video capture". If I re-boot again, same thing...works once, then fails thereafter with same error message. Any other solutions?

Updated to 4.4.4 and I got the same problem
Thanks for that, been wondering what the issue has been. I guess I will just keep it so that my Nova Launcher has the Ok Google response. Turned off the Google one and it fixed the issues for the phone now. Much appreciated for the help.
Had this same problem.
I was taking videos this evening with no problems then started checking out "Google Now" options and enabled the voice commands from any app and from the locked screen. Then went back to taking or trying to take videos and got this same error message. I tried rebooting and it didn't work so I googled the error message and found this forum. I did as suggested and disabled the voice commands for "Google Now" and my video recording went back to working. So does anyone know if this error is being addressed for a fix? Also, thanks for the help!
**** that, I was wondering what was wrong with my droid ultra, well i dont even need the okay google command since we have touchless controls anyways so its pretty pointless, also seeing how we may get updated to the new moto actions.
moto x xt1058 video capture not able
Hello friends, some time ago I got moto x xt1058, update to 4.4.4 and get same problem
Camera work well after reboot, but then I get message "not able to start video capture". That to bad course Skype and viber also didn't work.
Then I find this forum and try to turn off OK google now detection, but this button in voice google app's menu didn't work. It is grey (not active) color and has a message below " this feature is currently anavaliable on this device". Google now voice commands works well and I have no idea how to fix my camera problem.
P.s. camera work only in slow mode.
Thanks.
HERE IS THE FIX! Remove call recorder.
I HAD THE SAME THING for the last 3 months. I found it v frustrating.
THIS FIXED IT FOR ME AND FOR OTHERS
REMOVE THE APP CALLED "CALL RECORDER" as this uses the microphone at all times and stops video from working. Other call recorders seem to work fine with no affect on video.
Cheers,
Ben
Ben's Awesome Solution to "not able to start video capture" on my Moto X
I have had the same problem as many others.
Where I try video recording on my Moto X and only get the SUPER FRUSTRATING - "not able to start video capture"
I tried the Google "3 Dot" - Google Now Shut Down and it worked upon reboot..."ONCE." Only to have it not work until another reboot...
I had to resort to carrying around a spare iphone to record what my Moto X couldn't.... auuggghhhh!!
Anyways, to make a long story short, Ben's comments fixed my problem...

After I deleted this app...NOW I have use of my Video Camera and DO NOT GET THE "not able to start video capture", AND I just tried to set up Smartphone payments with Square.com (the app would not work with the swiping Dongle because it said "A RECORDING APP NEEDED TO BE CLOSED" for that process to occur) which lead me on another internet search for a solution and wound me up backtracking to here and eventually to Ben.
So now I can Take Videos and charge people for them??? Ha ha, Maybe I will now!! Who Knows!! ;P
Thanks Ben for your AWESOME Solution!!!

Korean Firmware update November 20 2015

Well Korea got another firmware update this morning. The update never gave details but here is what I've found so far:
In the settings under Device, there is now an "Auto open apps" option. Basically when you scroll through your apps list, whatever app you stop on will automatically open.
Also in the settings under "connections" there's an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
Under the display setting there's now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
Also some bloatware was added. Apps added were a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There's also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled thankfully.
There's a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you've viewed the notification. Only works if you don't have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
Cosmetic differences:
now says "add widget" under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there's an option to "Add template" now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.

I noticed small cosmetic changes inside the S-health app, but nothing else beyond that. I've found nothing related to sleep monitoring.
Also checked yesterday to see if a reminder can be set using S-Voice, and that is also still broken.
I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

In SHealth I'm able to swipe/twist to the right and get to the music controller, which then returns to SHealth when I press the back button.
Coming from Pebble I expected apps to be persistent and not just to have the watch exit home to the watchface everytime the display times out. It's really nice to have a persistent app for a music player. I could adjust the track or volume without looking at my wrist. And it's also greatly needed for the stopwatch. A settings option for persistent apps would be great.
My Gear app updated this morning, I see no change in the watch. The app on the phone has a whole new layout, but nothing has changed on the watch. Still shows the same J3 software version. I rebooted the watch and nothing. Do I have to reboot my phone? I hate to try this as it always breaks my weather app and I have to totally uninstall all gear apps on the phone and factory reset the watch to get it working again.

If it's not a Korean Watch, just be patient. The app was updated, but they have not pushed the new firmware out to the rest of the world. To confirm this, go to Settings->About Gear->Update Gear Software->Update now.

Ah, I understand now. Thanks, got to excited to soon.
display time out
So I got the update on my classic watch, there is 5 new watchfaces.
There is also a new option on the display settings so now you can choose the time from 15 sec up to 5 min.
If i set the display timeout on 5 min it's nothing change...
So I do not understand what the problem is or the new options mean???
Could anyone help me?

You guys are lucky.
In korea some devices that are updated got stuck at booting logo.
I think it will be soon fixed and then you can get this update.

I agree there should be a long press top button feature. The way I deal with this problem is I set long press home to the music player. Then to access apps you press home then press home again.
Encrypted Phone
So I have the Nexus 5X, aka phone is encrypted.
My watch is from Korea and the app does have an update, but I get the error message that it cannot install because phone is encrypted. Any solutions?
My Gear Fit, which isn't actually Tizen, but resembles it a bit, has an option for what you want to do after timeout - return to watch face, or remain on last app. Very handy, and Samsung could certainly add this option, since they already know how it works.

Some decent additions there, but I was really hoping Sleep Tracking would be included.

Any ideas on how to modify the versa so that you can substitute calendar, weather or something else for the "Today" app (slide up)?

Hi, AFAIK the Today screen is integrated in the Fitbit OS and cannot be removed/replaced. In order to get a calendar of weather on your Versa, you have to install them on your Versa from within the Fitbit App. The weather app is by Fitbit itself and the Calendar is a Third party app.

Clock Faces
Hi all, you can change the standard Clock Face on your Versa to your own liking by downloading other Clock faces. To do that, you will need to install the Fitbit App on your phone and setup the Versa on your phone. How to do that, see: https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en...Topics:Getting_Started&p=versa&fs=Search&pn=1. Once you clicked the link, got to "Trackers and Watches" and follow the intructions for your particular device, Android, iPhone and Windows 10 devices. More information about this, will be soon posted.
Kindest regards, kuzibri
Bands
Just bought my Versa and looking into wristbands. I have a Blaze now and use a silicone band that the watch just pops into the rubber cradle. Is there a similar band out there for the Versa?

Hi, have a look at this site: https://www.miniinthebox.com/index....ion=0&prm=2.1.62.0&keyword=Fitbit+Versa+bands and you will see "tons" of bands for the Versa.
Hi all, as earlier stated, I would keep you informed about Clock Faces for the Versa. I've found a clock face that's not only very beautiful but also very functional, heavily customizable and by it's size is also very battery friendly. My Versa, with this clock face lasts at least 5 days with this clock face, See this link,
Copy and paste the link into the browser on your mobile device: https://gam.fitbit.com/gallery/clock/364a8989-6105-4418-93aa-10a4e55775ea where the Fitbit app is installed. Or use XDA Labs on your mobile device.
Thiis is how it looks on my device after total customization (however the photo shows a blue background, imagine that's is dark black!!)
Here are two photo's off how this face looks on my Versa (mind that although the photo shows, for whatever reason, a blue background, imagine that it's dark black on my Versa)
Main display:
Stats Screen (sorry for the blurry image):
On the stats screen, you'll see from top to bottom, besides battery - time -date: Steps - Floors - Calories - Distance - Active Minutes and HR.

Hi There,
I just bought the Versa Lite yesterday and tried to set it up with my essential Ph-1 runing Android 9 Pie. Now the issue is i can receive all notifications on watch from the phone except the Calls, Missed calls and Voicemails . I tried all troubleshooting tips mentioned in forums, so i would like to ask here to see if any knew or came across this sort of issue.

hi Thanks for the reply, Actually after doing some many tricks and tips for it to work. I finally made it working by doing the watch Factory resetting. Then after setup gave up almost 4-5 hours then started working the incoming call notifications. I really dont know why it needs that many hours for it to work. But now i left it as is as i am not sure what has helped me in making it to work.

Hi, glad that you got it to work. That it takes soo long to finish the setup procedure is the result of the fact that this is done via BT. I usually do this via WiFi and then it takes about 30-45 minutes. Kind regards, kuzibri
Clock Faces
Hi guys,
promised you to keep you all updated with new news about the Versa. Well there is:
there is a new, very beautiful and highly customizable Clock Face avaliable for the Versa. Although it's a payed one ($1.5 after a trial period of 30 hours, it worth every penny of it. Yo can change the home display from analog to digital by pressing on the bottom of the home display. By tapping the top of the home screen, you wil get the stats screen, with all the needed stats. See:
https://gallery.fitbit.com/details/5f05513e-568b-4993-92b7-783373d6c8a1. Try it out and you will be in no time addicted to this Clock Face, just like me. The size is only 17 kB which makes it very battery friendly. My Versa lasts 5 days on one charge with this Clock Face.
kindest regards, kuzibri

Fitbit Versa ISSUE - Data not cleared Sync & try again
Hello all!
I would like to ask for some help if possible or if anyone have any idea how to rescue my Fitbit Versa.
Few days ago on my Fitbit Screen it pops up a message "Unlock with your phone"
Because i am not so into what Fitbit app offers i didn`t know that you can do this from the app on your phone, i messed up the watch.
As follow i tried to connect to my computer on fitbit app there by adding a device, but when the app it prompts the 4 square field to input the 4 digits code generated into your Versa screen i was unable to read as always it pops up the same message "Unlock with your phone" and i cannot bypass it.
When i see that i tried on my phone app from Fitbit but there was the same issue, so i deleted the device from the app. And like this it started the "party" been unable to add the Fitbit to the phone app nor to the computer app.
I was asking for help on Fitbit site on a forum and someone told me to do some steps
1. Delete from any Bluetooth pairing your watch.
2 Turn off the Bluetooth on devices (mobile phone, computer and who knows maybe any other pairing connections).
3. Turn off the devices that were paired with your watch, after you undertake the steps 1 and 2.
4 Turn on one of the device, and turn on the Bluetooth to pair with the watch.
5 Try and add it again the watch (device) to the app - FAILED - as the watch still pops up on screen "Unlock with your mobile phone"
If the above steps fail try and do a hard reset by holding down all 3 buttons for about 10 seconds (more or less) and when the Fitbit logo show on watch , release the bottom right button , continuing to hold the top right and middle left buttons pressed until there is a vibration.
By doing so i was expecting the watch will reboot to factory settings, instead it pops up now DATA NOT CLEARED. SYNC & TRY AGAIN and from this screen i cannot go anywhere no matter how many times i try the hard reset method.
So from yesterday i am looking at one piece of garbage that cost me 170 pounds 2 years ago because i am unable to restart it. and i have no idea if there is a fix.
If here is anyone skilled to tell me how can i reboot this bloody watch to can use it again i would be thankful. i was thinking maybe there is any software that we can install in computer and by connecting the Fitbit charger USB to the computer to can flash the software again, like we can do on Android phones, to put any firmware we like. :fingers-crossed::crying:
Any help would be appreciated!

ECHO CALLER on OP7PRO

Hi all,
I have noticed that people voice talking to me (phone, whatapp, ect ) are complaining with echo on their side
I have to lower the headset volume to stop this echo. It do not occur with bluetooth
I think that the noise reduction mic on the top is to sensible but I'm not a specialist. Support have received my device with no problem discovered
I have tryed the hard reset but same issue
Do you encounter the same issue on your OP7 Pro ?
Thank all
Same issue on my girlfriend device...
Yep, I'm getting the same complaints since update 10.0.3 on TMobile in USA.
No issues before the update, now everyone is saying whenver they speak to me they can hear themselves echoing. Anyone else have same issue or a fix??
I have tried resetting mobile networks, turning VoLTE off, toggling airplane and mobile data off, 2/3G only off/on, lowered volume during call. Nothing works so far.
Edit: Contacted OnePlus Support. He (Michael) suggested I shut down the phone completely, hold Volume Down + Power, Select English, clear Cache, clear cache and restart. (Do not erase everything, just cache). Seems to be working again with no echo but after 15 min echo came back. Support wants me to do a HARD RESET (FACTORY) but I will only do as last resort. Anyone else got solutions?
I don't have any issues I have the 12gb ram variant and latest 10.0.3 update installed
I didn't even know about the echo issues until someone finally mentioned it to me because we can't hear it. Only the person on the other end when they speak.
Do you happen to have call recording enabled. That only happens to me if I use it. When I don't use the recording tweak there is no echo for the other person.

I don't use call recording. What is this call recording TWEAK?
I may have found a solution for this but need to test for a few more days. It's not hardware related, software tweaks. Will post back soon.
Please let us know how to fix this. This echo stuff is killing me...

Any update on this?
It's been almost a week and no echo after I applied some changes. I should note that I updated to 10.3.0 a few days and no echo did not come back. I'm not sure which of these fixed the ECHO problem but it's worth a shot if you have the same problem as me. I'm in the USA on T-Mobile network using a global version OP7P from OnePlus. I'm not saying this will fix your issue but this is what I did to fix my problem that appeared after installing 10.0.3.
1 - Download App: Activity Launcher by Adam Szalkowski
2 - Close all apps and open Activity Launcher
3 - (Inside Activity Launcher) Go to Phone Services section to Roaming:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
4 - My Domestic Roaming was toggled to the left (off) for Voice & Text roaming, Data roaming. I toggled them on (to the right as seen in pic):
5 - Close window in step 4 to go back to Activity Launcher, go to Settings section to Mobile network:
6 - Made sure my Roaming, VoLTE was on and TAKE NOTICE of "PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE" and change appropriately or to what is in the screenshot:
7 - Close window in step 6 to go back to Activity Launcher, go to Phone section to Phone (phone.carrierconfiguration). Click UPDATE and it'll update for a few seconds, click UPDATE again and it'll run again for a few seconds, click on OK :
8 - Close window in step 7 to go back to Activity Launcher. Close Activity Launcher and restart phone. Make two phone calls, maybe three to be safe. The first one never echo'd for me but every call after that did when I had the problem.
I hope this helps anyone.
Echo has decided to return today...
Fix - Attempt 2
Alright, after getting a chance to play around with more settings after my Echo came back last week, it has gone away now. Here is what I did, and cross fingers this keeps it away:
1 - Download Engineering Mode APK and install: https://mega.nz/?fbclid=IwAR303Pss6...Y!YWzum5MbKIlIRJKlusBr3hyzyaiGi-2jYQWocLddgbI
2 - Close all current apps and open Activity Launcher (from previous post) and go to Engineering Mode and select Audio:
3 - Select Dual Microphone:
4 - Click on OPEN and select Use Primary Mic Only per screen shot here:
5 - Close out of all apps and restart.
8 days later and still no echo.

I have the same echo problem (it seems to be linked to the call recorder) and I tried the above method but I couldn't get it to work. It seems like the setting isn't sticking. When I tap "Open" and "Use primary MIC only", close the app, and go back into the app I find that those settings aren't clicked anymore. Was there a way to save changes before exiting?
Guys disable google assistant listening make a call and it should be gone then re enable it. That should fix the issue.

No luck for me on this one. I disabled Google assistant entirely and the echo was still there.
I did some experimenting and I found that the echo only occurs when all 3 of these things are present:
1. I have OnePlus's native call recording enabled (either through the magisk module, joneplus tools app, or a Tasker profile)
2. I am recording the call
3. It is not on speakerphone
This leads me to believe that, for whatever reason, when recording a call now (this wasn't an issue on pie) it activates the top mic and the person on the other end of the line is hearing their audio from the ear speaker through the top mic. This is why I believe skip029's suggestion would work but I can't get that engineermode audio setting to stick (I'm not sure if there is another step that I'm missing).
Hi,
I have the same issue (OnePlus 7 Pro). I've tried factory reset but the issue persists. Contacted OnePlus customer support and after telling them that I've tried factory reset and that while using bluetooth headset the echo is not present, they advised to RMA the phone. My issue is that I bought the phone from GearBest so I don't think that OnePlus will take care of this..
I've contacted GearBest, hopefully they will help with the matter.

Thank you for posting the detailed instructions. I'm having the same issue others have noted here - I can't seem to get the setting to stick. So following the directions, I still have echo. Do you have to alter some other setting in order for the setting change to be retained?
