Watch face does not always time out - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Usually when I look at the face, it fades out according to the timeout settings I have, which is 7 seconds. Other times I have to press the power button for the display to go off, but it happens again when the face is displayed. A reboot will solve it, but wondering if anyone else is having the same issue? It seems to start after I apply a custom watch face from the Watch Styler app...

Usage of apps like NotifyX and Floating Toucher wakes screen without reason

Hi!
I've trying to figure out why apps like Active Notifications and Floating Touched doesn't work the way it should.
I'm running stock and I'm rooted.
Floating Tougher has an option to lock screen when button is pressed on screen. However when this button is pressed the screen goes dark and flickers and then turns on again. At first I thought there was a problem with the app do I didn't think much about it.
NotifyX and Active Notifications etc. doesn't work either. When I lock my screen there's a brief moment, 6-7 seconds, under this moment the screen stays lock but then turns on to show the notification screen by the app.
I've uninstalled most of my downloaded apps but the problem still persists. I've checked wakelocks but couldn't find anything worth checking out.
Anybody else with the same problem or maybe even a solution?
Thanks!

Latest update nuked my watch ???

I have an LG G Watch R.
immediately after this update about 1.5 weeks ago that I installed my watch no longer functions as it functioned before.
I no longer get call notifications on the watch. previously when a call came in the watch would start vibrating the caller image would appear and I could answer or ignore from the watch.
this no longer occurs (HUGE functionality loss for me)
also "always on" no longer works. it always turns off VERY rapidly after a few short seconds and you can only turn it on again by pressing the button. no "ambient" mode any more.
and of course since ambient is off (I assume) twist to full on does not work anymore
touch will not wake it up twist will not wake it up ONLY pressing the button.
suggestions? these are simply massively functionality losses to me I flat out would not have bought it if it functioned this way when I got it. what's the point?
I am hoping this is something I can fix. yes I checked android wear no joy. I uncheck and recheck always on and the watch comes on for a second and then goes off again. still have to press the button to make it live again.
Cinema mode activated?

What is that? I do not see anything called cinema mode anywhere?
On active screen swipe down from the top and then wipe left. You will see Cinema mode and Sunlight boost.

[Q] seconds hand not working in dimmed mode.

Hello.
Is there any possibility to get working seconds hand in dimmed mode.
Every watchface which i've tried have not working seconds hand/display in dimmed mode.
Additionally minute hands sometimes "hangs" for about 2-3 minutes which resulting showing wrong hour.
I assume that this is some kind of power saving feature but it is very annoying when watch shows for eg. 11.59 and real time is 12.02 :/
Is there any fix for this?
Edit the watch face and you can include whatever you want. You will need a face from Facer or WatchMaker or Intellicom.
I did't make my point clear. I have watchface which have secconds hand in dimmed mode, but it stops moving as soon as watch goes into dimmed mode.
It's a power saving feature. The screen refresh is slowed down to 1 frame per minute in dim mode, so you cannot have seconds displayed. Also the cpus are being slowed down a lot during that period as well as the sensors. The only sensors that is being probed during the dim mode are the gyroscope and the touchscreen.

Is there any way of changing this, by changing maybe kernel or someting ?
If you build your own custom ROM, of course you can do whatever you want.
Your battery will suffer though.

it's a pity because i don't know how to do that.
So for me, there is no solution
Big thanks.
You still can use a custom watchface (like watchmaker/facer) and extend the time for the active mode. Still, why would you do that?

Few questions and a problem

Hello! Came from a Pixel and the Nexi before it. Note 9 is the best device I've ever owned. I do have a problem and some questions. Please be gentle if these have been answered before, I have researched these things.
My problem is WIFI. It cuts out all the time, randomly! I've done everything, yes that too. If anyone had this issue and solved it PLEASE LMK.
Questions:
1. How do I disable the 'press of home button when screen is off, on lock screen, to wake screen'? Basically, the screen is off and if I touch the lower middle part of the screen it turns the screen on. I don't want it to do that. SOLVED!
2. No matter what settings I use, every time I get a text message notification (stock app) my screen turns on. I have lock screen notifications off for ALL apps and have each app setting changed under notifications to NOT turn screen on. No matter what the screen pops on every time.
I don't have any issues with wifi or notifications, but there are a couple of options for #1:
Search for "Hard press Home button" in settings and disable it. If you are using Always on Display, you should to set it to Clock instead of Home button and clock

Disable Galaxy Watch 3 Screensaver

I recently purchased a new Galaxy Watch 3, coming from my trusty Gear S3. One thing that is annoying me to no end is this "Screensaver" feature when the watch goes to sleep while an app is open. Pretty hard to describe so here is a video with a side by side comparison between the Watch 3 and my Gear S3.
photos.app.goo.gl/YiaqCt8L5rL2mncE7
Both watches have the exact same watch face. Notice that when the Watch 3 goes to sleep while on anything but the Watch face, it switches to this stupid Digital screensaver. The net effect of this is that 90% of the time when the screen is in "always on" mode it uses this stupid screensaver instead of my chosen watchface.
I should not that I am using a custom WatchMaker watch face.
Is there anyway to disable this "feature" so that it behaves like the S3?
I noticed the same! I expect it is because of the too small battery. Its not always on exactly, its always on to a Screensaver.
Would be nice to be able to change it...
Same here. I'd like to kill this "feature", i.e. when timed out revert to the "Always on" watchface, not the default screensaver.
Mine does this too, but falls back to the Watch Face AOD after about 20 secs. I think it was actually designed this way to allow you to go back to the screen you were on before the screen saver was triggered, by pressing the top button.

Mine doesn't fall back to AOD watch face at all. It can stay all day on the "screensaver watchface". That's what I'd like to switch off.
Reducing the time, but still not a fix

I'd love to get rid of this screensaver watch face as well, however, as others have mentioned, for me it also goes away fairly quickly. In your Galaxy Wearable app, if you go into "Display", what setting do you have under "Show last app". Mine is currently set to "When screen turns on again within 20 seconds". Unfortunately, there is no "off" for this, and 20 seconds is the minimum. If you have this set higher (e.g. to 1hr) I wonder if you'd see what you are seeing.
Regardless, if anyone figures out how to disable this, I'd love to know as well!
Same issue here. It is annoying. Following.
Same problem coming from the Galaxy Watch to the Watch3. Following hoping for a solution.
