Question How do we stop the annoying time screen saver?? - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Anyone know? Generally, regardless of watch face, I get a screensaver time come up and it just sits there on top of whatever activity I have active. I have to touch the screen to get it to go.

Nope, it's been a 'PITA' for a while....

Follow this Link and go to page 8 or 9. There you will find a tool called "Wear Reminder 2" ... It gives a workaround for the problem that was already posted in this forum multiple times ;-)

[Q] user preference quesions...

i have a couple "user preference" things that i am going to ask help on. first off i am running Paragon RC6 but don't have enough posts to ask these on that thread (and im not sure that is where they belong anyways). I"m not sure this is the right place for the questions either but here goes....
First: I want to shorten or eliminate the amount of time the "call ended" screen appears after i hit "end call". What i want is when i hit end call the screen goes back to the home screen within approx 1 second (or immediately).
Second: As i mention above i want it to go to the home screen when i hit end call, not the previous screen i was in before i made the call (ie: contact list or call log).
Third: Is there a theme/dialer that when the phone is ringing or dialing the "contact" image is full screen in the background with the dialer as a transparent overlay on top?
I have done a little research looking for this stuff myself, but sometimes i find it very difficult to "search" through the mountains of information that exits on this site. believe me i am not complaining about the information on this site because i have found alot of it very useful however i noticed sometimes the thread starts out with a particular question and before you get ten posts in it's talking about something completely different.
anyways, thank you very much in advance for any and all assistance.
bump (just one time)...

[Q] Question for you all

I have had this tablet for awhile and now it has been shelved as newer devices have been brought into use and it's sort of "obsolete" but still works thanks to Timduru. I'm wanting to see if anyone knows of an app or some sort of setup that would enable me to use this tablet as a message/info center (always on) that could either be hung on the wall or set on a desktop. Ideally it would display either digital photos or current weather radar as a screen saver, but anybody (in my home) could tap the screen and get messages or notes (sent by me from another device). What got me to thinking about this is that I work in the transportation industry (railroad) which takes me out of town often and when I'm returning home it would be better to be able to post a message to my wife/family that I'm on my way than to send a text because it is often very early in the morning and I don't like waking anyone up for such a message (they have to get up early enough as it is during the school year). So I was thinking it would be neat that they could just check that message board for messages/news just to see if I checked in. I'm sure there's a plethora of apps that do any of those individual tasks, but I have never seen one that "does it all". Hopefully I described what I'm looking for clearly and understandably, if so, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks ahead of time!
sorry for the double post. Tried to correct the obvious spelling error in the title (thanks again spell-check, you bastard) and it did that. Can the moderator delete the first one? Thanks!

A few issues with my S6 Edge; Smart Stay not working, Contact app, letters missing..

So, I have been using the S6 Edge for a couple of months now. I have been experiencing a few issues:
1) It seems that Smart Stay is not working, yes the setting is on.
2) When I go to my contact app, some of the letters are not there, such as the letter "M", but when I start to scroll, they appear.
Any thoughts?
PS: Is it me or does this forum seem not as active as other prior devices. Looking forward to some Kick ASS Roms.

Smart stay never worked for me either. As far as the threads, it's still a new device. It will increase in time
Same exact scenario. No smart stay. I gave up on it. Besides, I'm trying to deal with battery drain, poor signal with sprint, overheating, phone freezes, etc and so smart stay is low hanging fruit

[Completed] Google Play App Update Popups

Having hunted for a thread about this and coming up empty handed, I've decided to ask it myself. Recently (within the past three months I would say) Google updated the Play Store to give you these popups on the bottom of the screen for whenever an app is auto-updated inviting you to back the app up. These popups take up about a third of the screen on my new Note 5; it was far worse on my old galaxy nexus. Furthermore, the popup will close the keyboard and change the focus of the screen, meaning that in order to get back to composing a message you must do three things: wait for this unnecessary notification to go away, then tap the screen so the focus goes back to the app you were using, and tap again inside your text box. If the app you were using is particularly sloppy, this loss of focus might actually also clear the text field.
Even if you're not doing anything important however, a sudden popup that takes up a third of the screen is enough to send you to the loony bin if you react the way you would like to and you're in a public place. Now, there is no setting available in the play store related to this. The popups contain a check box that allows you to specify "never show again," but short of waiting until I intercepted each and every last one of them for each and every last auto updated app, there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of these horrible things. I could possibly disable all notifications from the play store through the apps menu in the settings, but that would be counter productive. Has anyone managed to get rid of this awful feature? And is there anyone that we can hang for coming up with that idea in the first place? After all, one of the best things about notifications on Android (at least previously) is that they specifically DON'T interrupt you; they're up there in the notification panel where they belong!

You did not mention about the exact device model.
However there is a general forum for android here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.
Good luck.

Question Received my second GW4C with the same issue. Is it normal that the bezel only registers 59 out of 60 clicks?

Today i RMA;d my gw4 classic because the bezel wouldn't register one bump, not in any screen, app or wake up.
Today I received a new GW4C. After testing it, sadly it also doesn't respond to one of the 60 clicks.
I'm asuming every click gets registered automatically via some for of technology and this one fails.
Can someone shed some light on this.
I always have to RMA things I buy, It's always broken or something is wrong, I grow so tired of this. IF I can get some info if this is normal or not, perhaps I will keep it.
Otherwise I have to go back tomorrow again.
This forum came closest to being an official forum for the watch, if there is a better place, please inform me.
Thank you for your time.
Not really sure if I am following what you are saying. On mine, it registers a click each time I move it. Not just 60. It continues until I go the other direction. Do not think there is a set number of clicks for the bezel, it just registers each time it clicks.
Not sure why youre counting them but to me you have to start at one point, and if counting 60... 59+1=60
And im crap at maths...
I did do that and as I said once I did reach 60 and had clicks and the watch face showed I moved the bezel, if I continue it continues to show the bezel has been moved. So no, there are not sixty clicks. It continues as long as you move them. If you had 61 0r 70 tiles loaded on your watch (not that you would), as you clicked to 61 and so on the watch would continue to show the next tile until it reached 70. Add more and you could see more.
