Question Wrist detection off? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Is there any way of disabling wrist detection? I'm having issues with it and the best solution would be disabling it.

Do you mean, disable the lock pin after taking off the watch from the wrist?

I mean that when the clock doesn't recognise wrist it turns off always on display and doesn't vibrate from notifications etc. I've heard that older models had a toggle to choose if the clock tries to recognise wrist or not. Detection is not working properly because of tattoos.

I have a similar problem but mostly because I have to wear the watch a little less tight than it wants. So the AOD is a little unreliable. I don't think there is a way to turn wrist detection off or make it less (or perhaps more) sensitive. At least not in the UI- I wonder if there is a setting that could be tweaked through ABD?

No, he is talking about wrist detection. When it thinks it is off your wrist, it stops notifications and AOD automatically.

Yes exactly. I was also wondering if there would be some adb command or modded file that would enable or disable this. I really don't care about heart rate monitor etc but notifications and aod are essential.

[APP][Android 6+] Ambi-Turner - wake up ambient display

I've created an app that wakes ambient display when you take the phone out of your pocket or if you have the phone face down and turn it over. The app is in addition to Google's ambient display and does not change your lock screen in anyway. It can also set "pulses" of ambient display. The free version allows you to have it always pulse while charging.
I added a few other paid features for tilt or lift to unlock, wave to unlock, pulsing at an interval, and battery percentage display on the ambient display.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions or run into any problems. Thank you!
Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.ambiturner
Pulse means, as long as i have for exampel a unread whatsapp message, ambi is showing at the set pulse time?
Maybe ill test it on OP3 with CM14.1 running ... will report back!

Correct. There is a filter for you to choose which apps can trigger a pulse. The pulse timeout is how long do you want the pulses to continue before it stops (to save battery). Pulse will temporarily pause when your phone goes into deep sleep. I could wake it up, but that's a much larger battery hit.
The other features seems to have little to now battery impact. Pulse is fine as long as the interval isn't set crazy low.
So far I've only personally tested it on stock Pixel XL.
ok, so far its working fine here!
Just the pulse isnt working (tried whatsapp and google messenger)
Love the idea off showing the battery, but its not that looking good :silly:
but i think, you just can manage this as "notification", or am i wrong?
anyways, good idea so far, will follow (bought it anyway) :laugh:

The battery level is a notification. I'll create a custom layout to improve the look in a future update.
The pulse is the least reliable feature. I'm still working out the kinks, but doze and deep sleep definitely are one problem. I'm testing various ways and will try to get it as consistent as possible.
Alarm Manager would work but it would drain battery.
Looks great! Just to confirm - you need to have a lock screen set up for it to work?

Yes, it works with androids Ambient Display. So if you have that and it's turned on it should work.
So I've done some limited testing with the app white listed from doze and so far it improves the responsiveness significantly. I don't know the battery impacts yet, but if it's not noticeable I'll add code to prompt users to white list it.
Other upcoming changes:
Advanced settings to adjust wait times for how long the phone has to be in your pocket or laying flat before a wake can occur.
A pulse option that initially pulses faster when a notification comes in, and progressively shows down until the timeout.
Possibly change in lock screen battery indicator appearance.
Filter on laying flat thresholds. I suspect the accelerometer incorrectly reports the phone tilted while it is laying flat on occasion.
New update posted.
I may have discovered what is causing the intermittent nature of wave to wake. I made some changes in how I'm using the proximity sensor so that should help. I'll have to wait and see after a day or so of use to see how consistent it is.
I also added an option to turn off the wake from pocket.
There's now a help screen with an email developer button and some troubleshooting hints. I've been getting a large number of 1 star reviews, and many of them are people who don't realize you need to have ambient display turned on and a lock screen set, so I included more info on that.
Oh, and the notification is now hidden unless you have the Battery Indicator selected!
If anyone is still having problems with tilt to wake please let me know. On my Pixel XL that has been working every time all day. There is sometimes a delay, but I think that's due to the aggressiveness of Android 7.1 putting the device into sleep.
Awesome app. I bought it mainly because of Wave To Wake, but for some reason it works two times on my Nexus 6 and then stops working until I turn my screen on and off again. Oh, and I've already whitelisted Ambi-Turner from the battery optimisation.
Also I would love if you could make Ambient Display work as soon as I turn the screen off, without having to wait for 10 or 3 seconds.
Thank you a lot for your hard work, I hope this can be fixed. Please contact me if I can help with anything!

I'm trying to get wave to wake as consistent as possible. Did you update last night? Let me know if that helps it.
I'm actually working on some advanced settings to let you control those timeouts.

I'm testing it right now and it's still quite inconsistent. Though I never know if I'm waving too fast or too slow, you know? Maybe if there was a way to make it more sensitive? Thanks for the attention! ;D
Edit: just to be clear, Wave To Wake does only work two times, but I discovered that I don't actually need to turn the screen on for it to work, I can just move the device (then Ambient Display will turn on) and after that the Wave To Wake will work again (though still only two times). I believe it has something to do with the time after it's been awake or something like that.
Android Wear Issue
Ok...I love the app when its working and even bought the Pro. So worth it to me.
This morning I forgot my Android Wear watch (LG Urbane) at home and Ambi Turner was working perfectly. I had to run home at lunch, grabbed my watch, turned it on and now Ambi Turner isn't working.
Any thoughts how to get around this?

UPDATE: I turned off the 'Mute' for my watch and Ambi Turner started working again. Hmm...gotta thing this one through. Turning on Mute alerts my watch, but I also see them on Amber Display.

I'm adding some customization for the wave timeouts. I wish I could measure hand distance from phone but the pixel and nexus sensors don't have that granularity the way moto phones do.

Hmm that's strange. I'm using a garmin fitness watch that has notifications and haven't seen anything like that. Does your watch somehow mute notifications on your phone so that only the watch displays them?

Yes...there is a setting in Android Watch (Silence phone while wearing watch ) in the new version. It used to be 'Mute calls and notifications'. Its actually very handy so that when I'm in a meeting, I just get a vibration on my watch instead of my phone making any noise. Add the 'Feel the Wear' app where you can customize the vibration pattern per app...just a great combo.
EDIT: Since I just got a new version of Android Watch, it seems I can turn on the Silence option and the AmbiTurner, wake on wave, is working! Woo HOO!
Made tons of improvements. Tilt to wake should be extremely reliable now. There is also a lift to wake option. I reduced the speed you need to wave, so it should be much easier to trigger now. I also added an option to always pulse while charging.
Let me know how it works!
I had taken a break from updating it because I became a father but I have a little spare time now.

AOD (Always On Display) Auto Off?

So apparently on Samsungs official news site , the AOD display has a sensor that will disable the AOD when it's placed inside a pocket or a bag (Why would your watch be in your pocket or bag instead of your wrist?). You would think this would also work if say you're wearing a long sleeve shirt. I have been unable to trigger this via long sleeve shirts and I don't have thin enough clothing to test the pocket, nor do I own a bag to test.
"The device’s 3-inch circular Super AMOLED display has a resolution of 360 x 360. Its 16 million colors, full color Always On Watch continuously shows the time rather than fading to black. The ambient light sensor helps to adjust the brightness of displayed information and works to automatically disable the Always On Watch when users can’t see the screen, such as when the watch is in a pocket or a bag. Users can opt to personalize their Always On Watch with customizable, interactive watch faces."
Who's willing to help me test this feature?

Someone already posted on the forums about how their AOD wasn't working, and they found out it was because their strap was blocking their wrist from making contact with the sensor. I'm guessing that the heart rate sensor didn't sense a pulse and turned off the screen completely, or some other sensor all together.
Here's the link:

My AOD also turns off when the watch determines that I'm sleeping and then requires a security pin.

My AOD works just fine. But it will not turn off when sleeping or covered. It senses my heartbeat just fine. Perhaps my unit is defective? How did you get it to turn it when sleeping, anything special?

Nothing special. My Classic began to track my sleep automatically out of the box. After I wake up, I press a button or rotate the bezel then put in my pin. Shortly afterwards, I get an alert on the watch and it shows in numbers & a graph how long I slept and also shows me how long I was motionless, how long I had a little bit of movement, and how long I was restless.
When the watch is simply covered up by my longsleeve shirt or a jacket, my AOD doesn't turn off.
Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
It won't turn off AOD with long sleeves, because it knows you're wearing it. It only turns off if it's NOT on your wrist. Or when you're sleeping.
Did anyone install the new PK7 watch update on their Gear S3? Any issues with AOD? Like AOD not working or turning off despite the AOD setting being on?

I just got my Frontier today, and I came here now looking for answers on the AOD feature i have been hearing about but have not witnessed as of yet... My watch goes completely black every time after about 4 to 5 second of inactivity. Like i said i was coming here now to XDA to find out if this was a config problem or what?? Two things I have seen here that may be an issue for me, 1 - i always wear long sleeve shirts, and 2 - i have always had trouble with the smart watch heart rate monitors getting a good pulse on my wrist. (This is my 5th smartwatch, 4th samsung) I did do all of the updates today when initially using watch. I have been wearing it about 8 hours. Hope this helps.

"Samsung Flaunt" is a widget you can install, i installed it on mine (you have to select it from widget once installed) as i found certain faces i have time out into a default (black face white hands and red second hand) i didnt want this, i wanted a face of my selection be it downloaded or a pre-installed face to remain on at all times especially if i go out, if you select the "Frontier" face (pre-installed) and have AOD Turned on you lose very little in quality / dimming when the time out kicks in, with "Samsung Flaunt" you install the widget and this then allows you to have the watch face on for up to 30 mins, However it will eat your battery, but then i can live with day to day charging, I like the idea of going out for a meal or a beer with pals and my face being on, i like the idea of a smart watch simulating a "real" watch look, as we all know there are thousands of faces we can select to show off.
S1CAR1US you can change the time out by going settings/Display/Screen Timeout/ then theres a choice of 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes, if you select the desired time out, and go back to your normal face, by clicking your bezel one click left (notifications) and one click right (watch face) your face should remain on for that length of time, if this isn't long enough (wasn't for me) i used the "Samsung Flaunt" widget.

Would be very useful, but it is not possible.
I mean you can't set it in system settings, but it is possible to use a "complication" in Gear Watch Designer.
I designed a couple of watch faces setting a complication to turn off AOD every night, was very simple.

Always on??

Stupid question alert... So I have always on, screen time out 30 sec, auto low brightness on, wake up gesture on, gray scale on, and brightness at 2. I'm currently using watch maker's watch face for my own custom design. It has a second hand, but after a short period goes to ambient mode or whatever where the second hand stops moving.
Is there a way to set it to truly always on where the second hand is always moving? A couple of the stock watch faces do that I notice. In the custom watch face I have everything set to always. I'd search more, but don't know what lingo to use. Thanks for the help in advance.

Oh ok. Ugh... Thanks

Can I get a true ambient watch face like Google Wear?

I've been using a Sony Smartwatch3 but have jumped to the S3 Frontier because of its better looks and battery life. However, much as I love the built in chrono/sports watchfaces there seems no way to set them up in an 'ambient mode' like the Sony. This is where you can get a stripped down, dark grey representation of the face so you don't need to keep twisting your wrist or drawing attention to yourself with a lit up screen.
Is this possible at all, or would I have to be download some third party watch face that will, I suspect, be nowhere near as attractive as the Samsung one?
Cheers
Hi.
If you use the "always on" mode for watchfaces, and turn off the activation by movement, you will have a greyed out version of the watch face at all times.
Is this what you are looking for?

I want it so that it's permanently greyed out (i.e. not backlit) so it's just about readable at all times and only comes on/lights up when I tap it.
Below is a Sony example.
the gear S3 has no backlight, it uses an OLED screen.
this means each individual subpixel is a light, and turning this off would make it black.
what ga123 suggested is the closest you can get.

You can use the very pretty "SamVictor" ...
Ga123 gave instructions that accomplish what you want. The always on display provides a simplified version of the watch face. If gestures is turned off, that will be shown until the screen is touched or the bezel is turned. That is the setup I run on my watch.

Do you mean 'wake up gesture' in the 'Device' menu? If I turn that off the screen goes blank. Touching the screen doesn't do anything so I'm guessing there's some setting I've missed....

Use a stock watch face or make one with the gear watch designer, you will get AOD. Some custom face watches will blank the screen.

If the screen is black until you twist your wrist, you don't have the always on display enabled.* Goto settings, STYLE -> WATCH ALWAYS ON (the second option). Then every watch face will have two modes,* activated and ambient. The detail displayed depends on the designer's specifications.
Here's a picture of the watch face Boldindex12 with its ambient display and its activated display.
This op doesn't seem to be answered.
I was wondering the same thing and can't find an answer.
Atblangi posted pictures of what i want but it seems not capable of achieving in the means of the op.
Given my enquiry is the same, i will try to reword it.
I want a dim watch face that is always on; when i'm not looking directly at it. But a brighter face that is activated with a gesture (turn the wrist and look at the watch), or an action (press of button or turn of bezel).
I have seen faces that change with light intensity, but what i want (and the op), is a face that changes with a gesture.
Is this possible?
Use Watchmaker faces and you can set all you want for active or dim faces.

Yeah for some reason the double tap is super sensitive and will wake the screen in ur pocket too. I've had to disable both and then I don't have an issue. I also don't use ambient display or wake screen for notification

I have DT2W and RTW both turned off, and the thing is still waking up every time I breathe near it.
It appears to be the fingerprint sensor, the slightest of touches is enough to turn on the screen, even though I don't have a screen lock on.
