Hello,
I would like to ask if it is possible to resolve one thing. I bought a watch 4 classic, after my watch 3. And the problem is in the world.
I don't know what it is, but I guess I'm not the only one. I don't know if my hands are too hairy, or I sweat too much, or both, or I don't know what else.
It is about the detection of the watch that it is on the hand.
On watch 3 and others with tizen, it was probably known about and it was possible to set notifications even if they are not worn on the wrist. Unfortunately, it's not in wear os, or I couldn't find it. I understand that there has to be a lock for gpay, but it really annoys me that I defacto have to unlock my watch every time I want to look at something. But even more so, 90% of the time the watch thinks it's not on my wrist and therefore doesn't receive notifications, which really annoys me. Is there a way to solve this please, or what am I doing wrong. After all, it has to work...
Thanks for any advice..
Sorry my english. Used gtrans

Hi all,
My all time favourite watch was this:
http://www.tokyoflash.com/en/watch_museum/s-mode/oberonss/
People used to stop me in the street to ask how it worked. Trying to work out the time when drunk was impossible but I loved it. Unfortunately, I lost it on holiday last year and the company do not make it any more, so I have purchased a Gear S2 in the hope that somebody out there might be able to create a watchface that replicates what it does?
I am more than happy to pay for this work. If you are able to help, perhaps you could message me to arrange?
Thanks in advance!!

i looked at this watch and am interested in creating it for the gear s2. my thought is that it would be more intuitive if the time rings progressed as follows:
(example time 3:25)
outer ring = hour, so 3 dots
middle ring = tens of minutes, so 2 dots
inner ring = final minute digit (0-9), so 5 dots
in the video from your link the middle and inner links are reversed, which is a bit confusing. as a previous owner would you agree?
Hi, and thanks for replying. I couldn't agree with you more about the dots being in the wrong order. I got used to it over the years, but to have them follow a natural order would be better. Do you think you can do this?
it is a pretty unusual watch face which i like. i've done several requests that are now in the gear store but this one will really test my skill level. the animation part will be a significant challenge.
i am going to give this a try.
You sir, are my hero
Please advise of anything I can do, testing etc. As stated above, also happy to pay you for your time, as this will make me so happy!!
If animation proves difficult, even just the ability to display the time this way would be incredible.

working thru the design phase, i believe the reason that the original oberon watch rings were ordered hour/minutes/ tens of minutes was due to the look for times that ended in 6-9. the middle ring would then be longer than the inner ring. this probably looks better.
for example 10:47
outer ring 10 dots
middle ring 7 dots
inner ring 4 dots
this provides a more symetrical look, but i still think the way i am proposing makes more sense even though it may not be as asthetically pleasing
outer ring 10 dots
middle ring 4 dots
inner ring 7 dots
not as symetrical, but easier to tell time. i am more inclined to this method rather than the original. your thoughts?
That sounds perfect

watch face to display TIME is done. running on my s2 3g now, looks good. takes a bit to get used to reading time in this format. very unconventional.
next will try to get initial animation sequence to work which would really make it look more gooder.
don't think date will work out. i use Gear Watch Designer as the dev tool which is ok but is still beta, so there is no ability to include a function to double press side button and activate DATE like the original watch.
onward...

To be honest with you, I never really used the date function so this is not a problem for me. if needed I can check phone but I usually know the date
I'm sooooooo looking forward to this!! I don't suppose you've used the middle section to add stuff like battery, steps etc have you as would be cool to include that obvs.

i've got 2 easter eggs on the current version. touching just below the 12o'clock position opens S-Voice and just above the 6o'clock position opens Timer (i use these 2 functions routinely; they can be hard coded to open whatever). there isn't a whole lot of real estate on the face so these spots are invisible.
there is enough room in the middle for maybe 2 items so let me know exactly what you want.

Only really the battery percentage would be useful for me, and also the date in "xx mon" format if possible??
Sorry, also a notification indicator if possible????
ya notifications. GWD doesn't allow that. I and many others have been badgering the Samsung programmers to include notifications in the development tool. maybe in a future revision.
I will add battery and date in the requested format.
Here's the deal. Tomorrow is out so i will submit the binary to samsung for certification on monday. they are fairly backlogged; i have several other submissions in limbo and it's been a week now. it's possible the oberon watchface will be available by the end of the week but don't hold your breath. i'll let you know the name of the watchface once sammy certifies it. the proposed cost will be 2USD. if i can get the initial animation sequence puzzle solved, it will be available as an update in the future (i presume at no charge unless sammy does something odd).

I'm also interested in the watch face. Thanks for developing this. I look forward to seeing it.
ok it is ready in the Gear Store. search for...
Uberon
enjoy

while re-reviewing the video to get a better sense of the design for the next revision a question arose:
are you by any chance the person in the video?

Nope.
I haven't seen the video so don't know if I'd want to be or not?!
v1.0.2 now available in Gear Store. added % to battery level and day of week.
6:51
updates
1 same size dots, brighter blue.
2 larger dots.
Hi I don't know if any of you have experienced this but it is infuriating and Samsung seem incapable of fixing it. What happens is this:
I design a watch face, it runs fine and looks great. I submit it to the store and it is rejected as the watchface background doesnt display,all that is shown sis a black background instead.
Does anyone else experience this? It has got to the point where I am about to dump the S2 altogether as a design platform because the gear Watch Designer support is utterly useless.
Thanks for reading my wee rant

Hi think the issue may be you have Always On activated. If this is the case then you can only have so many active pixels. Try turning Always On off.
Evening all.
I'm returning my Frontier due to a build quality issue with the bezel. Can anyone else confirm if there's is like the one in the below video I just threw together. I ordered a S3 Classic to compare, as I didn't think it felt correct and sure enough the classic feels really solid, has a distinct click feeling when it rotates which my frontier doesn't. Would love to know what yours is like? You'll need the sound up.
https://youtu.be/dqmSd3CnrKA
Quite liking the look of the classic and might keep it instead.
Yep, mine is like that. Doesn't bother me at all. It's just a little play i the bezel.
If it gets worse, then it may become an issue, but as it is, it's not an issue at all. Still works, still has solid clicks as it's rotated.
Thanks for the feedback I'm not able to live with it. Keeps bugging me. Even more that the classic I ordered doesn't do it.
Yep, mine is like that. I even wrote a post a few days ago here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70033732&postcount=12
From what I understand and asked around, most of them are like that but of course, there are some exceptions, with a Frontier that behaves like your Classic.
Because there are so many, basically I don't have any guarantee that the next will be ok (or if it is ok at first, that it will stay ok -- mine was silent like your Classic and in 4 days became a Frontier, so to speak ...) and I rather avoid all the hassle returning the watch for now and wait to see if a visit in service is really needed.
I asked in a Samsung service and they said that if is a problem with the bezel, they change the entire body (minus the bottom part) because the bezel itself is not replaceable.

Thanks for the info. I've already returned the Frontier so will see what Samsung say about it. Still undecided about the classic but there is no stock of the frontier so I wouldn't get a replacement until Mid Jan from what I've been told, so thought I'd give the classic a try on the 14 day return option. I do like the feel and look but still think I preferred the Frontier as I'm using it mostly as a sports watch.
I returned my Classic because of as screen issue, and the new Classic's bezel also has a little play on and clicks, just like the old one (or maybe a bit more). Although it is annoying, probably no point in returning in hope for getting one which fits perfectly. Let's see how they work over the time.
I wanted to swap it for a silent one but then decided to stop bothering. It's my watch now until a smaller Fenix 4 comes out or a better Gear...
Hello, it's been a while since i posted here, the last time i managed to figure out the stuff i needed by my own but i hope i'm more lucky this time as i cant really find anything about this topic either here or anywhere else.
I'm needing a new phone as the old/current one is broken and i dont want to spend more than for buying a new one to repair it.
The few phones that i like, within my specs and price range, have the fingerprint sensor, now, i know everyone gets super excited about that because nobody can touch their phone(i'm still wondering how people can have so important stuff to hide to need a fingerprint sensor lol), yet i seriously dislike them and dont really want it on my phone.
Before someone says i can "disable it" from setup, i know that, but disabling it from menu is equal to put a curtain infront of a window while someone is burning your car. You wont see him doing it, but that wont stop the car from burning down to dust.
Clarified this, i'd like to know if anyone ever tried unplugging a fingerprint sensor on their phone, and if it did work or not.
My main doubt is if the sensor itself is used as a resistance, impedance or a simple any form of current/power delivery system, thus being a fundamental component to close the circuit.
Please answer only if you really know what are you talking about. Thanks a lot everyone for at least bothering to read my odd question.
ps: the phone i'm currently looking at is the Honor 7 lite, aka the "poor" brother of the Huawei GT3. I know they also made the Honor 5c, which already comes without sensor, but i cant find it for sale anywhere(other than the other side of the world, with prohibitive shipping costs and huge customs costs) so i'll have to stick to the Honor 7, and remove that sensor, if it is possible, or just get another phone.
Wow, and this is supposed to be the best mobile phone forum ever... i've solved on my own anyways.
Hi,
I'm new to this forum so apologies if this issue has been discussed before (I did a search but couldn't find anything.)
I've just bought a Huawei Watch 2 Classic and so far I've been very pleased with it, except for one thing. A day or two since I started using it, I noticed that on a grey background i.e. the one used for both the notification cards and the app menu, there's a sort of 'smudge' or unevenness to the screen at around the 10 O'Clock mark that's distracting. It's quite subtle and hard to describe (a cloud? bright patch? light bleed?) but once you've noticed it it's hard not to see it:
(I tried to post pictures of the problem here but I can't yet as I'm a new member)
It's always going to be difficult to take a picture of such an issue as the camera will correct for white balance, exposure etc but trust me it's more noticeable in person. In bright light it's also harder to see and is most noticeable at night or in dim light. To be completely honest, I can't see the issue on any other background or situation except when viewing notification cards or the app menu but I try not to go looking for it either.
All I want to know is am I being pedantic or should I be requesting a replacement?
Can you try and post pictures, I know .ay not be easy.
I haven't seen this issue but I've noticed the screen goes grey when on standby

I tried in every way possible to upload pictures or at least links to them but I can't as I'm a new member and therefore I have to make around 10 posts before I can publish any external links or pictures. I never got a response back from the forum owner requesting that I be able to do so either.
Perhaps when I've made a few more posts I'll upload the pictures for you to see, if only for future reference.
For information, I ended up sending it back for a full refund anyway - not necessarily because of the screen issue but because I couldn't see how it fit into my life. Also the supplier was out of stock for a replacement anyway so the choice was sort of made for me. I found it was actually more annoying having constant notifications on my wrist than on my phone, not to mention being socially unacceptable to have to keep looking down at my watch on a frequent basis. Unless these notifications were read or actioned as soon as they arrived, I found the interface to be too clunky to deal with them later which meant a lot of swiping and prodding, not an ideal experience.
Never mind, perhaps the smart watch market will mature in the not too distant future. I may well re-visit the idea at some point but for now I'll stick to a traditional timepiece.

actually when you get used to it you'll know that it's way better than traditional watches, you can see the weather and track your activities on your watch and listen to music without even taking your phone with you! and its getting way more normal in social life to have a smart watch specially when there are many people using apple watch right now that has a lot less features than android wear! (maybe not a lot but hey, its android!)
