Toooo bad your are on froyo...I am sure you could have helped and make that happen for 2.1..klick
This will be really handy in the car. I always tend to set the phone in the passenger seat with the screen up, but then turn it over cause at some point the sun will reflect off of the screen and blind me. I also have the radio blasting and can never hear the notifications.
A little off-topic since it doesn't have that much to do with this but anyways:
What I'd like is to have the charging-LED light up for new mails. I think it's a little "extreme" to let the trackball light up when it's just a mail :b
This is nice. You can tell, even when the phone is lying face-up.
Thanks

Exactly! I'm loving this app!
Won´t this reduce led life??
worry about that led life but really cool concept.
Wish you have also create one for 2.1
I think LED are rated in 30K hour lifespan. If it's continually on, it'll take 3 years till EOL. Assuming it's strobing at 50/50 ratio, then it'll take 6 years if you get call all the time.

+1 on the widget! BTW, it worked today. I forgot that I set my phone to silent and realized that my phone was ringing through the strobing
works fine. thanks.
Youre not rdude?
Hey rori,
I'm on FRF50 and this thing rocks. What I noticed though is that during a phone call, the flash only goes through 4 cycles and then stops flashing. However it will take a few more cycles before the phone goes to VM. It'd be cooler if it went all the way through the ringing. It would be even cooler if the flashing intervals can match the trackball!
Anyone else experience this?

Can't turn on notifications

I've had the watch for about a week now and notifications have been nothing but problems for me. Everything will work fine and then I'll just stop getting most notifications on my phone. When I go into the gear app on my S8 most of the apps are greyed out and I can't turn them on or off. The only fix I've found is restarting the watch, which really sucks because it turns all the notifications back to their defaults. So 4-5 times a day of restarting the watch and having to change all the notifications I want is getting pretty annoying.

Already running on stock firmware since I need it for s pay. I did a factory reset on both the phone and watch and the problem returned. Guess I'll wait for Oreo and hope it gets fixed.

Distorted graphics after sleep

I installed LineageOS on a Motorola G7 power about a month ago. A few days ago I started getting problems with graphic displays after my phone goes to sleep. (This includes wallpaper, icons, etc). I uninstalled all apps since this problem started - didn't help. And today I installed the most recent update of LOS - didn't help either. The attached file shows what the distortion of graphics looks like...

You are right, there is nothing wrong with the screenshot. It appears that the screenshot saved the graphic correctly.
So I took a pic of my phone , which should show correctly...

Yeah that thought crossed my mind... with screen shots wysiwyg... sometimes
Looks like an issue with the graphics driver.
You can try clearing the system cache.
Maybe you got a bad download/corrupted flash or something's not right with the firmware.
Lots of reasons I don't root; it's pretty much a gravity well that sucks up time.

Could be, or the firmware is giving the display incorrect voltage levels that are marginal or incorrect digital data.
You need known good firmware or known good hardware to narrow it down...

Question Unable to update to One UI 4 in Galaxy watch 4

Hi,
I have followed the following steps to change region to use Samsung pay. But no matter how many times I've restarted or cleared cache of wear os app, I couldn't update the watch to One UI 4 that was recently rolled out.
Steps used to change region:
[Guide] GPay in unsupported country (Yes, India too)
Okay so after having tried several guides, apps hacks and what nots, I couldn't get GPay to work here in India. However after some more fiddling around I ended up getting access to rather easily than expected. I'd straight away get to the steps...

I am also same issue no updates coming, many of saying only 1 time can change csc, now am also stucked this.
Be happy that you haven't updated. My watch4classic has updated and there are too many bugs incl Calendar complication. and AoD being screwed by Samsung for all custom watchfaces.
Is there any further updates rolled out? I'm still stuck in the same state without updates
I received FW update in NLD on March 2nd (R880XXU1EVB4).
I didn't have any problems before (I dont use fancy WF nor AOD), so I can't tell you if the latest FW solved anything...
Can some people reporting about the battery life on R870XXU1-EVB4?

General US Watch 4 Non-LTE Update R860XXU1GVK4 with Nov 1 Security Patch is out.

MY US based Watch 4 Non-LTE just received the U1GVK4 update today 11/11/22 - I again checked for updates for my AT&T LTE Watch 4 Classic, but there's no update available. It is still at the U1GVH2 release. Nothing new to report with U1GVK4 so far, but this is likely an update to fix the bricking issue that some experienced with U1GVI3 "A power operation-related stabilization code has been applied."

Uggg...just read that even the new update that fixed the issue is causing same problem for some...be careful peeps.
Mine is working JUST fine...think I'll hold off.
I installed with no issues. Did get a scare at first when the Samsung logo came up about three times before it went on to boot. Also took a bit longer to boot and setup. Once it did, all was well.

Fingers crossed.
Mine working 100% after this update.
Mine also working after today's update, I did charge my watch to 100% before starting the installation process and after installation my phone did boot loop twice that scared the hell out of me, then I immediately connected it to charger just to ensure watch has enough charge left, but luckily as soon as i connected it to charger the watch booted normally...phew!!!
Just updated my watch. It is bricked. Screen is black, pressing any of the buttons does nothing. Had 70% battery before the update.
I think I'm done with Samsung for good. What a shame.
If some1 was able to recover from this state, please share.

Happy to hear. Truly.
Bricked mine! 100% battery prior to update.
NOT updating mine. It's working fine, so why bother.
Mine is force installing so wish me luck!
edit: Gave me a heart attack because it bootlooped 3 times but it thankfully didn't get bricked
LOL, mine did the same thing. Today I had an issue with charging. The watch just refused to charge even though it says it was charging. I rebooted the watch and all is well.
