Question Watch face Issue (White Text Clock) - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Hi guys
Need some help. Since the last update 9 Feb. I have this weird thing with custom watchfaces. It renders correctly... But as soon as the screen goes off (sleep) the watchfaces changes to this in the picture. And stays like this?
I don't have AOD enabled or anything. I'm. It sure if it's a setting somewhere... But the stock faces is okay.
It's driving me crazy hehe. Not sure why this is happening...
I need to basically uninstall and reinstall the face but then it happens again..

They will have to fix with a patch or something... Alot of faces affected....

It think the original poster of this thread is posting a different (but possibly related) bug than what others are following up on. I believe most of this is about using AOD and sometimes the screen is not updating in ambient (low-power) mode. While this is happening to me, as well, I have not seen the white digital clock appear on my AOD display, ever.
In any case, and I am not sure it will make any difference, but I did report this to Samsung through my Samsung account by opening a "my questions" with the following (most of which from my posting on the other thread on this forum):
After the recent R890XXU1EVA8/R8900XM1EVA8 firmware update, I am experiencing major problems with the always-on display:
There are times that when in lower-power (ambient) mode, it is NOT updating any information on the screen (analog or digital). If I touch the screen, do the "wake up" wrist move, or touch a button, it immediately updates everything. It is unpredictable and intermittent. Prior to this last update, it ALWAYS updated the AOD screen in any condition. Now when I glance down at the watch, I am not sure if that is the actual time or not. And that defeats one of the main purposes of having AOD.
Worse, at other random times, it resists waking from low-power mode, even when pressing a button. I have to press several times and there is a long delay before it goes full-awake, updates the screen, and gives me control. Sometimes when it is acting like this (as if the face is "frozen"), it also doesn't automatically adjust the AOD screen brightness to environmental conditions, either.
And it is not just me. Many others are reporting this on the xda-developers forum:
Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 gets new straps, faces...
FYI, a few items for our Samsung Galaxy watch 4 ⌚: https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-watch-4-straps-2022-3103478/
forum.xda-developers.com
And on Reddit, one user suggested this as a possible root cause:
“For watchfaces that make use of WatchFaceService.Engine, the onTimeTick() method is called once a minute to update the watch screen when in ambient mode. This allows the watch to display the correct time, even when the user hasn't interacted with the watch recently. After the latest GW4 system update, the onTimeTick() method is no longer being called while in ambient mode. This seems like a newly-introduced bug, but could just possibly be a misguided attempt to save battery.”
I would appreciate it if you would look into this, because it is absolutely ruining my experience with your product. Thanks

Well, that was a waste. I got an Email saying I had to report it through "help" on the website. So I went there and did a chat and had to escalate to a "pro" who could take the information for a ticket. Now I have a ticket number. Who knows if it will get anywhere from there. But at least I tried (twice).

Thank you for going the mile for us.
Im spamming update button, but i have a sneaky suspicion, its going to stay like that. I dont tink its a bug, but rather an enhancement or something. (You know Samsung)
I think the watchmakers will need to update their watches to not use that stay awake function thing....(All my old favourite watch faces broken :'()
Hopefully im wrong......... LOL

I have this same problem still, even after latest update a few days ago, it's so frustrating that I can only really use Samsung's watchfaces at the moment! Does anyone know any sort of workaround?

Hi there...
Yes I hear your pain. Same here. I was so excited to see that 107mb update... Immediately tested those watchfaces. Still the same
I started using Watchmaker watchfaces working well. Very good repo of free faces aswell....
I still hope for a fix... Maybe the next one. So sad

I am sorry to hear that, but that is just how it is sometimes, especially with multiple roms. Some devices just do not work. I am coming out with a big update later today, but I do not know if it will fix it for you. Update will have total screen control where you can turn on and turn off your screen as well as a new UI.

Thanks!!! :good:
I do have that planned one of these days, I have just been busy lately.
It works on HTC Sensation. For my opinion sensitivity is a bit low. Add function for user to change sensitivity like he want it and system control to disable unlocking if you have it in the pocket.
I was searching for something like this for two days. I have a waterproof case made for d different phone that works great, but no way to access side buttons. Old phone had one, new one does not.
This is great and works on my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (renamed from Exhibit II by Samsung). Thank you so much, this made my day!
I have delayed the update for a little while longer. Below is a list of what it will include.
Features:
- Refreshed UI
- Ability to turn on screen by shake and turn off screen by icon
- Changeable sensitivity
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I hope to get this ready as soon as possible. Thanks
This is a great idea. It didn't work on my Atrix running CM7, but I'm going to leave it installed and hopefully the update will work.

In the mix of working on this update, I hate to say that I made a HUGE mistake on the wakelock and acquired it in the wrong method. Because of this, you will see some battery drain. Therefore, I have unpublished the app from the market until this update is ready. I am terribly sorry and will get this update out asap!!!! Forgive myself for being a noob.

Don't worry, those things happens when your developing applications and you always find something new after testings. That's why updates are. I'm sure you'll fix it soon.
Tested on huawei mediapad and its not working. Shame, combined with iseeyou app this would have been great.

So, if we just stop it but leave it installed, does it still effect the wakelock and battery drain? I ask since I will get notified when you update, although I guess you will announce it here so we will know?
I have used it far more than I thought I would, great app. Remember Lubarsky's Law of Cybernetic Entomology too.

If you stop the service, the wakelock will be disabled. I just finished doing the fixes on the update. Now I am just testing and checking the battery consumption. It should be available some time today.
And yes, always true

Can't wait for this, I use your apps any way, yeah have very high wake lock, but your apps too cool for me to disabled it

Whenever Google updates their server it will be ready . I'll add another post when it comes up.
Version 1.1 Released
- App title changed to Screen Control
- Refreshed UI
- Ability to turn on/off screen
- Ability to change the sensitivity
- Improved battery life
Enjoy!!!! Let me know if you find some bug, I tried my best to get them all.
I was going to post something about the wake lock but I see you're already on it. Excellent work! I'll download the newest version and post my review later.
Tested the new version on huawei mediapad ics, it works the few minutes after screen is off but often the service will stop and showing the fc message.
Yes, new version 1.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit (II) 4G will not respond to shake, lags like the cpu is at minimal setting with conservative governor, and then when I get it unlocked, it does an FC. I'll see if I can get a logcat of what is happening. Back to the version 1 (thanks to Titanium Backup) that I can use when I need it only.

[Q] Orientation tilted by 90 degrees

Hi,
I have a problem with my galaxy note 10, I noticed that in some apps this orientation is tilted by 90 degrees, so instead of down, the left side of the screen is down. Can anyone help me with a solution to recalibrate the gyroscope?
The happens in more than 1 app and also happens in live walpaper so I don t think it s app related.
Thank you,
Daniel

Which live walpaper are you using? I use an app called ultimate rotation control to force the an to any which way I please, at any given time. The app has an option to lock a certain orientation that can be set whenever you want to keep a certain orientation, no matter which way you turn the tablet. The app has free 7 day trial and can be found in the Google play store. If you buy the pro key, the app will keep working after your 7 day trial.

Hi, Some of the apps where the gyroscope is visibly out of sync are Sensor kinetics - gyroscope demo and all other Hardware tester apps, VR tunnel live Wallpaper and all similar live wallpapers., Skull 3D live wallpaper, It s weird because for photosphere and Google Sky map it works but for other gyrospope specific apps, and i have tested allot, it is not. There has to be a way to recalibrate the Gyroscope like the Level apps have for the accelerometer.

Interesting.... Are you running a stock or custom Rom?
Hi, I just switched 3 different ROMS, just to see if this is ROM related.... it's not, same problem on all ROMS i did not try Android 4.3 CM ROMS, only the stock like ROMS, but i really enjoy using the pen, it keeps the screen clean and working with it is precise and i also use multitasking quit allot, more than i thought when i bought the tablet. I will try to make a video and pot it on YouTube and here, maybe i will get some help, but it's weird when you tilt your tablet back and it tilts the image to the left. I have found similar problems on other galaxy phones, but not on the note 10.1.

mate i advise you to not spam the dev threads with the same question.. it's selfish and it will only annoy people and you won't get the help you badly wanted in return..
this is the right place to ask so be patient and wait for responses..
first can you post a screenshot?... and have you tried doing a factory reset or reflash full-wipe?..

Hi, sorry for posting all over, I'm freaking out a little, and I'm just hoping someone will be able to help me with this. I attached some GIF's to this post, hopefully you will be able to see the animations.
I tried wipe data factory reset, and i wipe before every new ROM, 3 different ROMS. Is there any way i can reset Gyroscope stats like Reset Battery stats?
There was supposed to be a Calibrate Menu like in other Galaxy Phones, but it seems that the tablet does not have that.
Thank you for understanding.

It's just temporary. In a couple of months it'll be "Samsung's abandoned the Gear S2 - no updates since February."
This is my third Gear. Samsung gets the os and s/w stable and then leaves it there. That includes Samsung provided apps that run on the watch. It's rare that third parties update their apps too. When the Gear S3 comes out it'll have features the Gear S2 doesn't and that won't be pushed down. That's just the way it is. If people don't like that approach they shouldn't buy a Gear. *****ing to fellow owners who can't change that via this forum is just futile.

Just upgraded my Classic. Nice that they added a notification when the watch is disconnected but I like the functionality of Brrr (under Utilities in the app store, be sure you add the widget to your list otherwise it won't work) better: the vibration is stronger and there is a vibration when the watch reconnects as well.
Everything else is great, the unread notification colored dot is especially welcome.

Display Timeout
I just got the update in KS for Sport edition - went through and set watch to 5 minute display timeout. Turned watch off and back on to reboot and it still only stays on for 7 seconds when I bring it up to look at. Frustrating!!
Update - if I press the home/back button while bringing up to look at, it will stay on. HOWEVER, as soon as I rest my arm, the display goes off. Not at all what I was hoping for. I want it to stay on for 5 minutes even if I look away no matter what!!
How do I check for the update? I have a S2 3G with a nexus 6. Is it just in the gear manager?
---edit---
ignore or delete this post, I found it.
Anyone getting a hoover over remote control looking app on their phones since the update? I updated this am and this app keeps popping up on restart. Sorry no way to send pictures right nowl.

It's probably peel smart remote. Open up the app then go into setting and turn off the notification or whatever it's called.

I am finding that the little dot that shows that there is an unacknowledged alert is only working for some notifications. For instance, it is not working for Textra or Business Calendar. Anybody else seeing this behavior?
Fred
Another finding - I have Display Timeout set to 5 minutes, Gestures turned OFF and Always on set to ON. What I am finding is that if I move the watch to look at it (gesture), it comes on and will stay on for 5 minutes then turn off. Although completely bass akwards of what I would have thought, it is doing close to what I want. I am open to hearing what others are seeing. Thanks.
Update: This was noticed, while NOT on my wrist, had it sitting on a desk and would see it go off after 5 minutes but could get it going again by shaking. On my wrist, it is hard to tell, as I'm moving around to much.

Gear S3 screen problem

Hello experts;
I've got a gear S3, it was working fine since the day,I notice the screen is off, but the watch was connected to the phone via Bluetooth and I can gear sounds off notifications in the watch.
The touch screen was responding as well as the bezel. I turned the watch on and off several times until the screen come back, but it start first from pixel to white screen.
It was looking like an old TV with some pixels like noise. And finally stabilize to normal.
I've found some threads like that but none have solutions or details why this is happening. Only due to watchmaster, application that I don't have
Does anyone got solution or idea about that problem?
FYI I have the latest Tizen 2.3.2.1 APK6

Static on screen is caused by watchmaster, even if you don't have watchmaster app itself, some of the popular watch faces in store (Detector by Liongate or Timeless by Pluto etc.) actually comes with their own watchmaster embedded. Try with a stock watchface.

This is what watchmaster is causing, you problem is different tho, either your display connection is bad or your battery is swelling

Call Samsung and speak with them. "Usually" they can tell if it is still under warranty and will fix it. It doesn't matter where you bought it. ymmv
It doesn't hurt to try.
Have you done a factory reset?
If the screen is unresponsive, this is done by holding done the Home button until it says "Rebooting" then tapping the button continuously until the boot up menu appears, then tapping it down to the "Reset" option.
any idea whats causing this using it since 3 months i had a normal stock watch face but i recently turned brightness to 10 and turned on always on display for about 4 hours before this happened rebooting and even factory resetting doesn't solve it has been 2 days

Sounds good, and those watch faces are what I was looking for! Cheers

Nice to see the back up of watch faces, something I don't think the current backup and restore feature does, at least not as far as I can tell. Slowly but surely the quirks and bugs get fixed!
I see one commenter on Sammobile says this latest update fixes Gmail notifications!

Can you confirm fliptwister whether or not the new update has solved the Gmail silent notification issue?
I just got the update also- phone app and watch. When I launched the phone app, it said there was an update, which I did then. But the watch- nada. Was impatient, so I went into settings on the watch itself and checked for updates, and it said it was there and so I installed that too.
Honestly, having even MORE watch faces I don't want and can't remove from the watch is just more irritating. I really only want to have choices ON THE WATCH that I want. Why can't they put them in only the phone app?
Really, I just want a real Google Assistant app, an always working gboard, and a calendar tile.... still waiting....

What's particularly weird about the Calendar tile is when you bring up the month view, you can even scroll through the months, but if you try to click on any given day in a month it just brings you back to today's date - but maybe that's something they will dix to give us a fully functional month view?

It does not as far as I can tell. I get the orange dot at left but no vibration.

I probably should have specified I want a month calendar tile, like on the older watches. I keep forgetting there *IS* a calendar tile, it just doesn't show a calendar (month). What you described is the calendar app.

Nope, the calendar tile shows the month - it's just not very functional, as I mentioned. Open the six-day view tile, click on the first day, and scroll up - there should be an icon to select the month on the top left.

Hmm. When I click on the first day from the tile, it just says "No events" below the date and "add on phone" below that and it doesn't scroll up or down. I can only swipe right to dismiss that day and go back to the stupid 6 day display. Swiping up/down does nothing. Am I doing it wrong?
On a side note, I did just add the calendar app to launch when I click on the WatchMaker face date display. So at least that is a little helpful.

Hmmm - my first day has an event - do you have a day with an event? If so, click on that one and scroll up to see if you see the option to change views.

Nope. I don't have hardly any events. So that must be the difference.
Really, I kinda hate their calendar tile

And rightly so - it really does need fixing, and hopefully this new update or a future one does that - as I agree, the old tile was great (and still is, on my Gear S3). *Edit*: Forgot you mentioned already that this update didn't do it...
Anyone on DUJA experiencing better battery life?
"Samsung says that it has added new hand gestures. Galaxy Watch 4 users can now set a new hand motion to open a pre-selected app or a frequently-used feature. With a simple ‘Knock, Knock’ motion with your wrist, you can open any app, a workout, create a reminder, or turn on a light."
Is this the same gesture as answering a call?

I believe it only came out yesterday, so you might have to wait a while to know this.

A little early on this. I can give a better answer in about a week. I have only fully charged watch once since update. I have 1 day 10 hours of use since last full charge and it is estimating 1 day 7 hours left. This is in line with what I was getting before. I have been getting about 2 1/2 days of battery life on average.
