Before the latest watch update it would lock while on my wrist very seldom (2-3 times a day).
After the update i find it locked 100% of the times looking at it - even when it is very snug on my wrist.
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
Is there any way to mitigate it?
(I have to keep the lock feature on in order to use google pay)
Nope.
1) Clean the sensors on the back of the watch.
2) Wear it snug.
3) Wear it snugger.
There is no way to "mitigate it", its security requirement to use Google Pay, to stop anyone from tearing it off your wrist and going on a shopping spree...no one is even looking at "mitigating it" so forget that as an option
This has been covered a millionty times between here and reddit
I maybe have to unlock once a day if i have rolled over in the night and its temporarily lost contact
Samsung didnt release the update just to make your watch lock more.

Shure but Samsung could make a mistake. Not the first and not the last.
I agree with topic author. Something went wrong with unlocking after last update. I also started to encounter problems but not so frequent as author.

I use Google Pay several times a day, every day, 7 days a week
No change to my experience post update, and in fact my watch is probably less snug now using a metal band, than when i used the original band it came with...
How often do you clean the back of your watch, i do mine a couple of times a day, usually when i take it off to take a shower....i suppose if your overly hairy that might be a thing....
Trust me, i'd be the 1st (and most vocal) person complaining in if i had to enter the code every x hours...

Never did that
I have some idea: restart the watch and see if situation is getting better after
I realised it helps me. After I leave the watch ( turned on ) on the charger for the night, then next hours I have it on hand - problem occurs. After restart problem vanishes.

This is EXACTLY what happens to me every day now too! And only started recently as well.
Charge overnight (with watch on), put it on the wrist in the morning, unlock it, let it dim the screen (I have the always on display turned on). Instead of going to the always on mode, it turns off the screen, then asks for pwd again if I try to use it.
Restarting the device fixes the issue, i.e. always on works again and don't need to enter password several times, just once.
To be clear, this was my daily routine since the watch was launched many months ago, and only recently this became an issue.
As guys has asked to try to clean the watch sensors and wear it snugly etc. I have tried all solutions for my Watch 4, and a few more and now it is working perfectly without locking itself. But not sure what which method has fixed it.
I also have problem when I update this last firmware, now when I flip my wrist it won't turn on and the sensor light is on continuously, I'm looking for the old firmware to reload can anyone help I'm not? My watch code is SM-R895U. Thank you very much everyone.
Mine works perfectly. I do not think it was the firmware that caused your issue (but I could be wrong). Another user found out his watch sensor was bad and had his watch repaired. The previous poster to you cleaned his sensor and refit hos watch band. You may need to reset your watch if something did not load correctly.
I have not looked, but in recovery, if you have the selections like the phone, clear the system cache and repair your apps.

I'm kinda hesitant to post this, because I know you guys go through great lengths to emphasize searching first. I watched the video when I registered, nice touch. More forums could use vids like that!
oh well, here we go:
I have owned an Iphone every since they where introduced to the market. I have been wanting to make a switch for a while now. I was very close to purchasing a G2x back in April when they came out, but I held off. Well recently, a coworker let me check out his HTC G2 and I was amazed at the functionality, features, and other misc items compared to my old Iphone 3GS. I was never a fan of the slide out keyboard, so I knew the G2 was not for me.
Last week, I just missed the free promo on T-MO's web site, so Instead I purchased a G2X locally. I was totally unaware of all the problems you guys where having, as the typical review sites never mention these issues.
I have owned the phone for 8 days, So far here is whats been a going on:
7-29-11 Purchased the phone from Best Buy, decided to buy from them since they where the cheapest out the door with out rebate. I hate rebates! lol
Right before I am going to bed, I plug in to charge, and the phone shuts off, I cannot get it to power back up. I did not know about pulling the battery, I thought it had just died. I was going to wake up the next morning and take it back.
7-30-11 When I woke up, I looked around online, and found out about removing the battery and putting it back in. Now phone is working again.
I was able to get the OTA update to 2.3.3, right after the update, I did a master reset.
8-2-11 I downloaded a "radio scanner" app, and the first time I executed it, the phone froze, requiring another battery pull. Afterwards, the app ran fine.
Those are the only 2 major issues I have had.
Here are a few other things I noticed:
Screen: No separation, very slight light blur around top corners with lit black screen. Does not bother me, and I can't really notice it 99% of the time.
GPS: I know some have been having issues with this, for me, The time to get an accurate fix can sometimes take anywhere from 5-30 seconds. Even with the stock toggle always turned on, I do not always have the GPS Icon in the top bar, I don't know if I am supposed to. Can someone please confirm this?
WI FI: Seems to be working like intended, no complaints there.
BT: I have nothing to pair with the phone, so I will probably never know.
Making calls: this is kinda annoying, I will look through my call log and select a person, I see the dialer initiating so I put the phone to my ear, but a few seconds go by and nothing.... I look at the phone and find myself looking at the call log again, like the dialer crashed? Also, during the conversation the screen will turn off. I think this is normal, but when the phone detects motion shouldn't the screen turn back on?
Other than that, I love this phone so far. However, I do not want to swap handset after handset, refurb after refurb with T-MO or LG.
Is it possible that the phone will NOT continue to get worse as time goes on? Or should I take the first shut down as a sign of whats to come in the future? I have a 6 days left to take this thing back, but I am having a major conflict with myself about keeping it. What makes it even harder, Is I have already ordered a 32g micro SD, Trident case, and 3 extra data cables.
My plans are to root it, and run some sort of rom with it once I read up and half ass know what I am doing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR:
Have owned phone for a week. Shut down instantly the first time I charged it requiring a battery pull. Froze/crashed due to an app maybe Second battery pull.
Question a few functions but otherwise works like a champ.
Purchased case, micro sd, extra data cables.
thinking of taking it back and cancelling contract to avoid future headaches, but not sure if I should or want to at this point. need avdice please!
Doesn't sound like a lemon. The stock software is buggy. If you're gonna root it and flash another rom then you're gonna love this phone.
The GPS indicator is normal. It only shows when an app is using GPS for your location. Otherwise it doesn't show.
G2X CM7
It doesn't sound like a lemon to me either. I bought mine in April and my phone had a few reboots while charging overnight and two freezes in the first month. It has been OK since then, although I did not do anything about it (and I'm still on Froyo). The only thing I do is that I reboot my phone manually once in 7-10 days because the phone starts to lag. I believe this is normal for all smartphones including iPhone...or am I wrong?
Oh, forgot to mention when I hit the power button to wake the phone and go to the lock screen, I briefly see the last screen I was in before the phone went into sleep mode. Total lack of QA in my opinion... Will a rom fix this?
And yes Man of La Mancha, the iphone would get somewhat glitchy, but a reboot always took care of it. I didn't really have to reboot it too often, maybe once every 2 weeks or so.

The lockscreen issue is a known bug. CM7, or any ROM with 2.3.4+ doesn't have that problem.
My nexus 5 is three days old now. This morning when I was reading an article in Chrome my screen started to just freak out. It was clicking links, going back to my app drawer, opening programs, going to Google now, opening (and sending!) emails, hangouts, Google Voice SMS messages, etc.
Thinking it might just be a glitch I did the first troubleshooting step - I turned it off and then turned it back on again. After a few minutes it was glitching again.
When it stopped momentarily I went right ahead and did a hard reset - just in case there was a Virus or something insidious on my phone. Normally I'd hold off on that option, but for this time since I didn't really have anything on the device I figured it was the appropriate course of action. After doing the hard reset and starting up my phone again, within a few minutes it was freaking out again. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to grab my old Galaxy Nexus and take a video recording of what I was seeing:
www [dot] youtube [dot] com/watch?v=6J5ILs-MqjI
Here are the facts:
- The phone is three days old.
- This is the first time that I've noticed this issue, however on day 1 I left the phone on my desk when I went to get some lunch. When I left (and came back) the battery was approximately 70%. Yet, mysteriously, in that 30 minute time frame the unit had shut itself off.
- The phone has not yet been exposed to moisture, extreme heat, or extreme cold. It has not yet been dropped. There are no other indications of manufacturer's defect readily visible.
- The screen is clean
- While having the tantrum, the phone went in and out of airplane mode several times.
- The tantrum occurred both before and after the hard reset. Installed apps weren't even completely downloaded when recurrence happened.
- In another fit, it eventually restarted itself.
Is this a hardware issue? Software issue? User error? Should I initiate an RMA?

It definitely doesn't look like a user error, seems to prove you're using it fine when you can. This tantrum could be both hardware and/or software. If it were me with such a new device having an issue like this, i'd get a new one. I'd initiate RMA sooner rather than later.

Thanks. I guess with no other defects I just want to make sure it isn't user error or an app I have installed or anything. Seems like a waste to wait another month to get another unit and increasing the chances of it being someone else's refurb.

Well based on my experience with Google and Nexus devices, typically they'll try hard in your situation to get a you a new device and sooner. They'll probably resell yours as a refurb but issue you a new one.
Fingers crossed.
The last nights I recognized a strange problem that happened several times now where the clock won't turn off again when putting down my hand. But just let me explain it step by step...
The last nights every time I go to bed I leave the watch on my wrist, but I shut down Bluetooth and WiFi, as well as activating Do-Not-Disturb-Mode and activating Power-Saving Mode. After changing back everything the next morning I recognized, that the watch would turn on, when lifting my hand to look at it, but it won't turn off again when lowering it again. The screen will turn off after timeout.
The problem persists until I change the setting for auto-wake off and on again. After that procedure the clock works again as wished.
The next days I will try to encounter which of my good-night-steps will cause the problem.
Anyone that encountered the same behaviour?
I use the Gear S2 Sport RM-720.
just see this issue. I have the watch since 3 days.
Seem that Samsung keep his old issue indefinitely
Did you let your s2 contact with water, i have the same problem and i sent to samsung warranty and they said mine have water inside. sorry for bad english

Similar problem here + always on seems to stop working (till I turn its setting off and on again) automatically.
Seems more to be a software issue though. This started happening only after the latest update. Maybe I should try a full factory reset.
Samsung has known to act evil and give the water damage issue to a lot of people regarding many random issues.
I wouldn't trust them with this.

My phone restart at least 2-3 times per day, every day, since the day i got it.
i'ts not even the same thing i do when it restart. sometime i just open my phone and it restart.
I have spoken with my provider, and they won't do anything until they see it restart when i'm at their shop... but you know, i can't stand in their shop all day long!
i don't think it's the same problem as you, but some of P30 really have a restart issue!
Also my P30 since when I updated to EMUI .124 restart 2-3 times a day. It also sistematically freeze during Antutu stress test (maybe it help you to show to your provider).
I just send mine to be replaced, but I'm worried that also if they replace mine nothing change...
Been using almost 2 weeks on 124. So far no reboots and just ran antutu stress test successfully.
No issues in that regard to my UK purchased device. It's been solid as a rock so far with amazing battery life also.
Maybe there is a lot of p30 with this kind of issue. Let's see how will go the new p30 that huawei will send to me as a replacement.
No problems on my end, except for a blue tint on the recents window. Using a third party launcher. Removing/ disabling Huawei Launcher gives you an older (and in my opinion uglier but better) recents screen back without that issue. Everything works fine so far but they really need to tone down their bloatware. That's the main reason why i dislike Samsung and Huawei.
only one light flashes. only the right thing works for you, how is it?
Fingerprint sensor. Works slow and flashes frequently, Mine got stuck two days ago and even after couple of reboots was still not recognizing anything. Then started working again...

Let us know if it works after replace.. I'm worried that there is a sw incompatibility with something I installed and that nothing change when I will have the new p30. It can happen that one phone have issue, but I already heard 4 case with the same issue!
On Monday I went to the beach with my family, took the phone out to take some snaps of the scenery and the with 3 x zoom, lens had the sun directly on it and the screen started to flash but only when sun was directly on the lens, doesn't sound right to me so am thinking of getting it exchanged. Anyone else had this issue?
I sent my p30 to huawei assistance and they returned back my device with issue not solved. Phone still freeze sporadically.
Hello everyone, i have a strange bug om my p30, i bought my phone a week ago and i'm sure video recording was fine at the beginning, then i applied .124 update and now when i try to record videos it just stop after 1 second, no matter what resolution or format i choose, it happens with back and front camera. I already wipe cache and data of the camera app, but no luck. Videos works fine with other camera apps like open camera etc.. . I spent a week for fine tuning my new phone , so i don't want to reset all. Someone have any other suggestion? Thanks

Did the whole screen flash or just the picture preview? This doesn't sound abnormal to me. The little pixels of the little sensor fill with light super quickly, so of course pointing it directly at the sun will make them overflow with photons and just return a mostly white image

Talking to Huawei support at the moment to fix the blue tint (and maybe also WhatsApp notification/ bad video playback performance) issue. They told me they'll reach out to me today.

I have the same problem with my P30 switching back on when charging - I've only been able to overcome this by inserting the charging cable first, then powering off. Not sure about your other problem as my display brightness is always set to auto.

Seems like they fixed the flashing bug with the latest update (.153)
I'm still waiting for it (.153), but as I try to find some logic in it's behavior I guess they tried to make it kind of notification light, but it seems to be unsuccessful.

connects to pc. connects via dex mode to tv also.
no more random reboots
but still black screen display not getting
awake only can access via dex mode or mirror mode
After around 24 hours ...

I have exactly the same issue. I was typing on whatsapp when suddenly screen get black. Notifications were ok, voice commands too. Touchscreen ok, I could use it normally when using my TV as screen with HDMI cable or with my notebook, when connected to windows or even Dex.
I already flashed fresh stock Android R rom and my display is still dead.
Tried to tap, slap, shake (I can her some noise next to camera module when shaking). I'm draining battery now with some apps that also vibrate phone. Display is still dead.
I live in Manaus/Brazil and repair centers are not working until March 23 because of Sars-CoV2. And my knox is tripped. It would cost a lot If I have to replace display or even the phone, since they probably will say it's no longer covered by warranty.
Were tou opening and closing the camera while mirroring screen? or on blind?
It seems in your case, the display went back to normal as strange as it turned off.
Could you please share the mentioned youtube video?
Hope I have that lucky as well.

Sorry for the late reply mate. The Scenario when display got back alive was.
1. My phone was connected via HDMI to TV in Mirror mode (Not Dex Mode). I also had mouse and a keypad connected since i am using Samsung Dex pad which came with my old note 9
I have from day 1have doubts about the stock camera app on my Note 20 Ultra. The app misbehaved from ranging to camera fail, and force closes on Android 10. That why i did below next
2. I forced close camera app , cleared its data and then while watching on Tv
i placed my finger on Camera icon and repeated opened it and closed it with back key.
since the display on phone was off so i used Tv for help
BUT physically doing the action on phone with fingers not with mouse on screen via mirroring
3. while i was repeatedly opening and closing app by touching the display with finger suddenly i saw camera app asking me for location tags pop up on display and from that time onward there has been no issue and the display is working as nothing wrong happened.
I wish and hope you have resolved issue by now. Please do share your experience for others . since when i had this issue, i found very less information about it. but i saw around 15 to 20 users having such issues especially with Note 20.
Conclusion what i have understood is either its some issue with Note 20 Ultras Camera Firmware or THe Electjet 45W Charger the culprit which i bought for my Tab S7 and was using to also charge my Note 20 Ultra. I have stopped using this charger for my phone and tab and since that day only using 25W OEM charger which came with the phone. I have now this 45w Electjet charger connected via Samsung dexpad which caps its charging speed to 15W.
Here is the link of the video. and i tried all things mentioned and then after exact 24 hours
the display came alive back when doing activities i mentioned above. and i have no link with the guy or channel who posted this video. I was just trying everything to bring life to my dead display .
PS: i had only 5 percent belief in this video . i dont know what worked
i had prepared my mind for the300$ plus panel display replacement.
i just read two recent more comments which state they got their phone working back.
Do read the comments posted as there might be some more clarity of things to try.
(Please Apply reasonable pressure on screen when trying these actions as you might break the Display)
Worked! Slapping it around and massaging it with reboot. Who knew Smack My ***** up! - The Prodigy was referring to modern phone fix'n.
I'm here literally in tears, my keyboard wet typing this because the video actual "Fixed" my phone. I don't know if its a long term fix or just temporary but after 24hrs of a black screen its good to have back a working $1400 phone.
So if this happened to you, dont be skeptical and just try the steps. Last resort is to bring it to a technician or Samsung but definitely try this before.

Fingers crossed it goes strong for the next two years.
Mine went dark about 2 days ago. Been trying the above solution with no success.
But can I ask did you guys hear a slight rattle?

No luck as of yet. Been sat for a couple of hours while watching a film trying the foxes above. No luck.
