There are many internet posts of whatever display timeout being set, that a very short display timeout occurs from a wrist twist gesture.
This is purely down to bad description of application of this gesture from Samsung.
The wrist twist gesture, is only to be used as a quick glance for the time, it it not to be used for full watch functionality. You need to push any other wake setup you have set for the set display timeout to work. Simple as that! Just a failure on their part to explain!
So, Your saying to toggle off the "Raise wrist to wake"?
But the watch does a full wake up?

I received my Geaar S3 Frontier yesterday, switching from an Android wear watch.
After playing around with the watch for several hours and testing many different watch faces I can't figur out how to display the yellow indicator for new notifications in ambient mode (AOD activated).
Do I really have to enter "active mode" to see if I have unread notifications?
Yes, you have.
In aod only static information, apart from the hour/date, can be shown. Battery cannot be showed also!

Same experience but reviving this topic just in case there is any new setting/workaround? Love to keep my phone with AOD on, Wake Up Gesture off (so that when i'm out dancing or just moving my hands around it doesn't turn on for no reason), but would love to just turn my wrist and see if there is a notification (ie. screen remains dim).
There's a difference between knowing that there is a notification and being able to read it's contents.
My watch settings:
AOD
Wake up gesture- off
Notification indicator- show on watch face
Sound and vibrate- on (wine cork sound is relatively unobtrusive)
My Gear Manager app settings:
Turn screen on- off (if this is on, notifications will automatically be readable on the screen)
Notification indicator- on
Auto show- off, I know there's a notification because it beeps but it doesn't activate screen so I can't read it.
Auto show- on, tapping on the screen will show message.
There's a lot of flexibility. A notification can be silent, trigger a sound, trigger a vibration, or trigger an indicator. The contents of the notification can be automatically displayed, displayed by a wrist gesture, displayed by a simple tap, or not displayed at all.
I use gesture to wake the watch and I also wear it at night so that it can wake me with vibration. However, the gesture will wake the watch frequently while I am sleeping and the screen is very bright even with the minimum brightness level. I had to choose a watch face that is extreme plain to minimise the lighting. Any chance that we can further reduce the brightness level without having to re-design all watch face?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't know, but you can always from the top menu choose to make the screen go black by pressing the icon that shows a watch symbol. You are sleeping so you don't need to see the time, but if you want to see it you have to press a button. To make it go black again you have to do the same procedure again

Is there a third party app that allows you to use the wakeup gesture...*however*...adjust the screen time-out to more than 6 seconds when viewing the watch this way?
I believe this is well known - however, the screen time-out feature ONLY works when you turn on the watch in some other way than using the wake-up feature. If, say, you turn the bezel or hit the button to turn it on, then the screen time-out setting will be used (as whatever you set it to). However, I have no found a way to adjust the time-out when the watch is turned on via raising your wrist (aka Wake-up Gesture enabled).
Thanks, in advance,
Rob

I'm sure many of you have used and loved the ability to do simple gestures with the screen off and have some customization action occur. Does anyone know if there is any app/rom/kernel that allows you to make custom gestures to launch an app with the screen off, or at least has a lot of predefined gestures with the ability to launch an app? Specifically what I am trying to do is export tasker tasks as an app, and then use the screen-off gestures to launch that task for things like turning on/off/dimming smart lights around the home. It is obviously much more convenient to draw an 'O' on the phone and have lights turn on instead of unlocking the phone and drawing on an app like Gesture Locker.
If u already export your task into an app, u can simply go to settings, on the screen off gesture theres an option "draw O" and choose ur exported app. I did this to command turning on and off my yeelight in my bedroom
