Despite searching the forums, searching Google and watching many video reviews, I have not been able to find an answer to this question:
Does the Galaxy Gear have motion sensors which can 'wake' the watch based on movement. ie: I want to be able to tell the time just by moving the arm the watch is strapped to without having to touch the screen, or push a button. I believe the Sony Smartwatch has this feature.
Hmmmm does the phone function start by lifting your arm or button presses?
Pretty sure the health stuff is still feeding off the phone no?
Was wondering the same thing. I assumed that it would because I think that would be a huge negative of a watch if I actually had to turn it on to see the time. Nothing I have read or watched on YouTube talks about this. I did see an option for screen time before sleep can be changed but not the same thing.

It is coming up to the time I'll have to confirm my pre-order or cancel it, does anyone else have information on the motion sensor functionality?
I found another video review which does seem to indicate it has some sort of motion-screen activation via Phandroid. There are several points in the video where the screen turns on without any obvious screen touching or button pushing. Note that the watch in this video has the security plate on the bottom, effectively doubling the thickness, the dude from Phandroid doesn't seem to realise or mention it.
Ive seen a video that shows exactly this, someone lifting their wrist to look at the watch and the screen automatically lighting up. Only problem is there are so many video reviews from IFA 2013 that i can't find it again. I can 100% confirm there is a motion sensor, it is listed on many reviews.
Hope this helps?
If it doesn't it will. Since it has a pedometer it does have a motion sensor. So would be easy to make a shake your wrist to turn on feature like the MotoActv.

I can confirm it does turn on by itself when you raise your arm or flick your wrist.

With screen lock disabled (no password/pin/pattern/face), I find that slide to unlock does not work. What I mean is that a simple touch (anywhere), unlocks the device.
Is this normal behaviour ?
Thats is wierd, you should still need to slide somewhere ... can u post a quick video ?
You sure you're not sliding somewhere? You don't have to slide from the lock, you can pull up from the middle left of the screen or wherever you please..
This does sound odd if you're just tapping . Like the v-b-n said, is there a chance you can post a video?

I believe Tasker needs accessiblity for access app information like K9 mail. I can probably live without that, but Pebble notifications, that's hard to ignore because the watch itself is useless without it.

Quite interesting... Odd to see Pebble breaking it..
I'd rather live with tap to unlock than without Pebble.
Maybe try widgetlocker or try go locker with some kind of sense theme.
No need for root. Won't be as seamless, might take up more battery, but you get proper functionality
A little off topic, what do you think of Pebble?
Personally, I think the functionality on paper is pretty good, but i dont see myself wearing it because of the looks (i like more circular, military style, all black, discrete stealth watches)..
And then just wait for HTC or Pebble dw

The watch is good. It's my third smart watch. I have a MetaWatch digital and Analog as well. For a more elegant look, I prefer the Metawatch analog, but for a day to day @ work and stuff, the pebble is great. I hardly use my Metawatch digital. The pebble feels very...plastic. Not very good build quality if im being honest, but Metawatch...amazing build quality. Feels proper.
I found a work around for it. It requires root access, Tasker and Secure Settings.
What I did was create a Context that is activated when the display is on and then using Secure Settings, disable all Accessibility for all events. As an exit task, I re-enable all my accessibility apps.
Now when i turn on my display, I actually have to slide to unlock.
I've been playing with my Gear for a while. The biggest problem to me is, When I go for a run using runtastic or other app, when the screen times out and turns off, and I ust motion sensor to turn it back on, it goes to the clock but not the app I'm using. There seems no way to keep the app on the front after screen off? Please help as it's really annoying and I can't believe Samsung fail to design this.
Appreciate it.

Hopefully they're writing updates as we speak to fix a few of the issues. I can do more on my old original Sony SmartWatch than I can on a new more expensive device. Only thing the Gear does better is you can make calls on it.
Quick-ish workaround is to tap and hold 2 fingers on the screen to bring up the recent apps list.

Overall I love the device, but it's definitely rough around the edges. To me this issue one of the more disappointing things about the watch so far. If I am using Media Controller to listen to music, it's really annoying not to have it there when I want to go back to use it, and that goes for just about any other app I'd like to use. For Samsung all it really would have taken was a simple check box somewhere that says something like "default to watch face upon wake," and if that was unchecked, whatever you were doing last would just stay there on the watch the next time you looked at it.
Really the point of having a watch like this is to make it easy for you to do whatever you want to do. My guess is that most people who buy a $300 accessory to their phone like this are doing it hoping to smoothly interact with good apps. So every time you start to want to enjoy an app, you are consistently reminded that this watch wants to be a watch more than it wants to help you do whatever you're doing with it. In my mind, constantly defaulting back to the watchface everytime it goes to sleep and wakes up is a huge bug, not the feature Samsung probably thought it would be.
Anyway, I've used the recent apps two fingers shortcut a fair amount, but I have found it was just best to switch to the watch face that has the shortcuts on it. (In the Galaxy gear manager clock choice menu, it's called "Shortcut Clock," right above the Watchstyler)
Ideally I would rather use a custom watch face without the shortcuts. But for now, choosing 3 shortcuts for my most commonly used apps at least makes it easier to get back to what I was doing, and it's one less step then the two finger recent app workaround.

This is possible when using GM Gesture, create a gesture for a "home" action and replace the hardware key bind to a power only.
The hardware key serves two purposes, a home button & power button. I simply have removed the home button functionality and made a gesture for it.
I leave applications up all the time, especially timer functions.

The Galaxy Note 3. I upgraded from the Note 2, and bought the watch at the same time. Yesterday was my last day to return the watch and I was very close to returning it, but decided to hope for updates soon. I loved the Note 2, and now the Note 3. It shows me Samsung can build a great mobile product, so I hope the watch becomes more useful in the future.

Running like 8-9 apps, tried switching between them and it is fast. No lag at the moment.
About the gallery. It opens it instantly but it takes few seconds to liad the photos. Until then it is white screen with blue bar on top
Phone dialer has no lag, it opens instantly and it is ready to use the same second. Same goes for contacts, no lag.
Battery life, to soon to judge but on this charge it took 12% to get 47 minutes screen on. It was moderate usage.
I must say, samsung keyboard is bad. Screen is big but typing is not so good. Will change keyboard for Android L.
Ram usage is 1.5 gb in normal.
And I have disabled few apps like facebook, instagram, ets.
And device is dying for DPI change.

There was speculation that Samsung would have problems getting the Note 4 to pass through certification if it's a medical device (those heart and oxygen sensors).

Greetings all,
What is it ?
I found this application in the Goole Play store which simulates the "Always On Display" feature for all AMOLED devices.
It is basically turns all pixels in AMOLED screen into black except the selected pixels for the clock. Yes it works with all kind of screens however it causes battery drain for non AMOLED screens.
Issues:
- Doesn't work well with fingerprint as you need to tap the home button every time you need to open the screen
- Doesn't work with 3rd party lock screen apps.
note:
Please note that I'm not the developer, I just know the developer and I can communicate with him issues.
or you can directly do so in the comments section in the Play Store

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any option to automatically move the clock around the screen. It gives you the option to have it be on the top center or bottom of the screen, but no option to automatically move it around to prevent burn-in.

I have done but the drain tends to be the same either way.
Amplify has had a good impact on my phone but at the moment i don't use that either, for me it's really about the apps that want to constantly update, so facebook, twitter etc.
Is this different with our default clock's "night mode"?
night mode also automatically move the time.
any tap on the screen will return it to the lockscreen, if its locked, returns to the clock menu if unlocked.
Nice app, but could have more customization options, such as changing the battery icon and much more! But i liked of this app
This app is working great on my Pixel XL. Disabled all the gestures for "waking" the phone up as I have fingerprint scanner.
I just got my unit. I can get a spining white ring on the front facing camera when I lift to wake with face unlock, but I can not find the option to turn it on for phone calls and messages etc....

Not a feature (yet) we all hope that Samsung will do it...
On reddit the consensus is this is a feature that would be in a future update. I saw screenshots from Samsung support confirming this.

The options he gave are still helpful for now though, as not only can you enable the rear flash, but the front screen to flash yellow when you receive a message. It's something at least for now.

I'm from the UK and purchased from Vodafone, I checked for updates and an update popped up it was around 400mb, I updated hoping this was the one. But still no circle of light notification.

An update got pushed to my S10e just a bit ago. Might be the one you wanted?
Circle of Light does not exist. The only thing that exist is the possibility as this is the actual screen and not any special hardware. The same edge lighting like concept can be used to illuminate pixels around the camera. If samsung does not do something, let them release the source and give us access to api's. we can do it ourselves. We just need to modify the edge lighting feature to shrink it to camera cutout and increase timings etc. I am feeling so lost without the notification LED. My pre order does not have a cancellation option. If I had I would have cancelled.
Will the ring light has potential burn in risk?
Should be. If you closely take a look at the camera cutout and the front camera animation, you'd see it's a part of the actual screen. So, It have amoled burn in risk unless or if samsung can access the pixels through hardware directly without actually turning on the whole screen.
