Having the exact same issue. Haven't had time to explore it any deeper, just changed it back to regular clock face and will go back once it gets better.

Same here looked at watch at 8pm and it said 130.

I was going to start a thread on this as well, noticed this one first.
Same problem, several times today - but only seems to affect Watch Styler screens. I switched to a stock one and no problems so far.
(grr!!)

Same here. I am going to try copying the watchstyler faces locally to the gear's drive. maybe they will work better with a local install.

so I was able to adb into my gear, and ran the adb-shell command. when I do a directory list this is what I see. But I cannot see where the watch images are stored??

Rolled back my apk (losing the faces again - I'm going to start backing them u pnow!!) & no problems since.
I also noticed about 50% of my battery drained today, so I'm guessing that when the time is stuck, the battery is stuck doing *something* causing the drain as well. Only the 2nd time since I've had the watch that I've had this drain issue.

Ditto!!! lol

I unistalled the app from Samsung store, reinstalled it and seems to be working normal with my created faces. It was getting on my nerves too.

Mine has been hanging since the update as well. I have to either reboot my phone or disconnect then reconnect. boooo sammy!!! Get it together. On the brighter side my batter life has improved dramatically.

For me it's the Styler app (1.2?) How about everyone else?

I uninstalled the app and reinstalled but it worked for an hour or so. Back to hanging and losing time. Had to switch to stock clock faces till it gets fixed. Emailed the app developer about it.

That app is junk, I have completely given up on it (to me, it's really nothing but a gimmick anyway).
At first, I thought it was kinda cool to make a custom watch face to match my custom Note 3 home screen but then I realized the hour hand was never really accurate (as mentioned in another thread) and it froze up fairly regularly.
If that wasn't bad enough, battery life dropped quite noticeably in the watch when a custom face was in use. That was enough for me to learn my lesson.

Yep same thing here. Hangs up and won't advance the time. Very frustrating. I did not know about the battery drain though. I just got the watch and went to using a custom face right away. Will have to see how battery life is tomorrow without the app running.

You guys using analog or digital? Been using digital with no issues with hanging or battery. Perhaps it's just with the analog watch faces.

Gear keeps rebooting

Hello, I've noticed my Galaxy Gear keeps rebooting randomly. It has no problem when stationary but when I'm driving or walking around it just keeps rebooting. Any help would be appreciated.

Nope everything is stock. Tried to reboot note 3, tried to reboot the gear. Nothing helped. Tried to factory reset the Gear as well, still didn't fix anything.
I'm wondering if it's something with the accelerometer cause it does fine when it's sitting on my desk.
Maybe a faulty unit with a loose battery connection...?

Download the most relevant image country/carrier, it doesn't have to match up exactly..

Awesome. Oddly, everytime you do anything on this device it seems you need to rerrot and reapply all of your apps. I just put an entire image on it and it kept everything!
Most importantly, I got my camera back
Thank you.

I think you are right, with one caveat. I just went all day without it happening, I disabled the auto screen wake-up though. I think it doesn't have the motion problem if it's not trying to detect any motion.
What did you do with yours? Get a new one?
Ever find a fix for this? Mine does it even with auto wake up disabled and has been since I got the watch. Thinking I may have to send it in for warranty replacement
Temporary Fix to my Problem
Hey, so I had the same exact problem. It was so bad to the point where if I moved the gear at all, it would shut down/reboot. How I fixed it was I turned it on without moving the Gear too much (a very hard task). I kept it on for two hours without moving it; after, I noticed it wouldn't automatically turn off again while I put it on my wrist. I don't know how this fixed the issue, but at the moment it is working well without shutting off/rebooting. I will update you guys on how the Gear is working in the next few days. Hope this clears up any confusion because I know I was very frustrated.
I have the same proble...randomly reboot and sometimes switching off and i can not switch it on again till i put it into the carging case. When the carging started,i remove the watch from the case and i can switch it on. So i dont think its a hardware issue. Will try to put the tizen system on it.
You guys are correct, the moment motion detection is stopped, this gear SMV700 stops rebooting while walking, driving, moving basically.
There is no precise info on this even firmware upgrade doesn't fix it.

Watch Styler and Time Change (USA)

I am new to the galaxy gear, purchased it last night. I am creating some watch faces using the app Watch Styler and I can't get any new watch face to display the correct time. Even when set to manual. My note3 shows the correct time, yet it won't sync the time with Styler. However....All the stock watch faces show the correct time. I emailed the developer for Watch Styler, and I have searched Google and XDA....is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I gave up on that app a few weeks ago and stick with the stock faces. The hour hand is NEVER accurate on the analog faces, the custom faces freeze up and it kills your battery life.

I am in the us and have an AT&T note 3 not rooted and watch not rooted. I just turned my watch on and it showed the correct time. Both gear manager and watch styler have been updated to the latest versions.
I have found that...If I change my watch face to a watch styler face...it takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes to update to the correct time. It will stay on the correct time...even switching between watch styler faces, but as soon as I choose a stock (samsung) face....and then go back to a watch styler face...The time is off by a hour again. I am not sure why it does this....I figure it has something to do with daylight savings time, but not positive. At least it works....even if it is slow to update initially.

Hear Rate and Pedometer Stop working

Hey all,
I was wondering if any of you have seen the heart rate and pedometer stop working all together. I have not rooted, rom'ed or done anything to this watch yet.
I have also tried reseting the device, powering it down and attempting the reading with both the google fit app and samsung heart rate app. Neither work and neither will turn on the green light that indicates the heart rate monitor is working.
Any ideas? I also have been having problems, like others, with random disconnecting and ok google commands failing to work.
Thanks.
Same problem with pedometer. Not rooted or ROM.
Help?

Went out for a jog after 30mins said I did 149Steps
Guess I need to pick up the pace?
I restarted the Fit app, and it looks like it started counted again.

Yes, yesterday I realised that despite running around after people at work all day I had actually managed 0 steps. Today has had a similar work load and once again I seem to have been floating serenely around the department.
I get two sets of data for step count the Note 3 says 10k
Run "Fit" it tells me 7000 steps?
The step count on the Gear Live just started acting up.
For those having issues with the step counter did you guys use facer or something similar and add the step count? I noticed mine acted up after I added it to face. Nothing short of reseting the watch would fix it either

I'm using facer, but not to display the step count, only the time & date.
Having the same issue, where steps count stays at 0, and heart rate monitor doesnt even light up. I tried resetting the device, then tried to use HRM before any apps are installed, but still no luck.
I think it started after installing a watchface (devops time). But the problem is still there after factory reset, so I dont think its the app's problem.
Still looking for solution..
Answer for those who are looking at this issue..
Just turn off your watch and wait a few seconds, then turn it back on. (restart doesn't work)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-live/help/heart-rate-sensor-stopped-t2818335
All the sensors are alive now. Pedometer, accelerometer, HRM, compass.
I feel both stupid and relieved now.
heh I had this issue today was about to return the watch.. reset it, restarted it nothing worked then saw this and realized I never fully powered it off. Thanks!
GPe HTC One M8
With a GPe HTC One M8 (KitKat, stock) and a Samsung Gear Live, I found that my step counter stopped working when I installed Google Fit. Lots of tricks (including uninstalling 3rd party watch faces and powering off) didn't work. Uninstalling the Google Fit app fixed my problem.
Was very annoyed to find this on the Google Fit Help - Fit isn't tracking activities correctly: If you have an HTC One M8, your phone may be incompatible with Fit.
Can't tell from the help page if this is referring to the step counting built in to the M8 or something more fundamental to the Google Fit app.
For those experiencing lost steps with Google fit, there is an issue if you ate taking steps with the watch while the phone isn't moving. In any instance where the watch and phone step counts disagree the phone takes precedence.

Do you know if they are going to fix this? This has not always been the case. It used to sync with my watch and grab those steps. Why the other way around?

[Q] Battery dying in 12 hours! - Solved

Hey guys,
For some reason my Gear dies in half a day and I can't work out why. I'm using Skin's modded Tizen ROM but have been doing so for months and this has just started to happen.
- I have no apps installed;
- I don't have auto on when I raise my wrist, although I've tried it with this on and makes no difference;
- I've reset the phone to factory settings. It was actually fine during the day. Put it in my drawer over night, woke up 7 hours later and it had gone from 75% to dead!
- Reset it AGAIN and it's still muffed!;
- Uninstalled the Gear s/w and reinstalled to no avail.
I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but it seemed to coincide with the orange coloured version of the Gear manager. Does anyone have the apk for the previous version where it was all white with a colourful top border please? Or failing that, have any idea what the hell my watch thinks it's up to?
Thanks!
EDIT
Solution
1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);
2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;
3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);
4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.
5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!
6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!
Did you try resetting watch? Check link in my sig for older versions of gm

Yep I've also reset the watch on two occasions. Still dying within 9 hours Cheers for the apk's though, I'll see if that makes any difference. Otherwise I may have to ditch Skin's ROM and try the official - see if that helps.
I am getting almost the same thing over the last few days. My Gear Manager updated to a newer version and I have had the issue ever since. Idk what about updating that on my phone would have to do with the Gears battery life but I have changed a few settings on my notifications to see if that is going to help. I also keep getting "saproviders has stopped" CONSTANTLY. Was popping up every 3 seconds and I could not do anything with my phone. Finally got into Titanium and froze that app and I have had no more issues with that on my phone but I don't think that is cause my Gear to have poor battery life would it? I may have to go back to a older version of Gear Manager.
Similar thing for me with saproviders although it was happening because I had disabled Unified Daemon (EUR) process. Reenabled it and that went....although sometimes the UD(EUR) drains my phone battery and is really only used for weather updates.
As for the draining issue, I'm having a go with Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 and seeing if it makes any difference. So far it is, but I will report my findings back in 24hrs!

That is exactly the version I downloaded also. Gonna have to figure out how to get it to stop wanting to auto update to the newer versions. Just gonna set my settings and not go back to gear manager for awhile. See if it makes a difference for my Gears battery life before I go looking at anything else.
Okay that has fixed it, going back to Gear Manager 2.1.14071502! The watch has been on for 3.5 hours and is still at 100% rather than 55% as it was yesterday!!!
WTF Samsung?!?!
What the hell have they done with their latest Gear app? It must be causing some sort of wakelock on the watch itself.
Guess I'll wait for a month for newer releases.

Good to know about the Gear Manager, I was gonna suggest a reset , but doing the reset via "recovery" , instead of selecting "download" like when using Odin, you select "recovery" and it resets also. I've done the reset that way in the past and it fixed my issues. I had looked all over the Tizen OS for battery stats with no luck. Maybe the Gear somehow stash's the stats or something on the phone instead...? Hmm, I'm gonna dig around in gear manager..

Yea have a look Chris. Actually I did reset via the GM first time, the second time I did it via the hardware...as in hold power, keep tapping it and reset that way. Both ways made little unfortunately.
My watch was still on 97% after 8 hours of none use over night so I'm pretty sure it's GM. However, now it wants to update and I literally cannot stop it If I say no, it exits the app, if I say yes the obvious happens. How can I block it?
Also, just for fun I've let it run the update. I know the first version of the 'orange GM' had issues and Samsung updated that immediately. I'm speculating over whether that first cocked up version brought over an issue into the latest one. Thereby if I go from an even older version to the latest, the issue may disappear... as always, I'll keep posting results.
after downgrading GM to previous version, my battery life also improved, after 9 hours of having it at work, taking some pics, sync to internet i had 70% left. gorgeous!
i will never ever press update again. each update only brings more bugs and no new functionality.
Well now I want to potentially throw a curve ball...although we'll see by tomorrow. After downgrading to 2.1.14071502 then upgrading to the latest my gear has been sat idle for 2 hours and sits at 100% battery life.
If this works, it means the previous version of the latest software created some kind of bug and carried itself through to the latest revision. So - this *may* have sorted it. I'll have to keep an eye on it for now but it's looking promising.
i did downgrade but it force app to upgrade or it will stop
Well I've never double posted before in my life! Not sure how that happened - apologies
Right it appears to be fixed (finally).
24 hours - 8% battery use - using the latest Gear software...GREAT!
Theory
The first version of the new batch of gear software had some weird bug causing a wakelock on the watch. Upgrading the app didn't remove it.
What I did
1. Deleted the Gear software (and checked for any remainders in the file manager...although personally I found none);
2. Hard reset the watch, just in case;
3. Installed Gear Manager 2.1.14071502 (courtesy of Brendo);
4. Paired and got it all working well. This alone sorted the battery life which was nice.
5. I let the software update automatically; (obviously bypassing the dodgy version)!
6. Boom! It works fine with the latest app!
All of that said, you may be able to skip steps 3-5 and directly install the latest version....but I tried that and for some reason I still has horrendous battery life.
I'm not sure why the steps above fixed it, but they did. So have a go if this is pi**ing you off as it may just work.
Cheers!
@jonboyuk I've done what you did ,didnt work , even downloaded latest version 2.2.14092299 from @Brendo but still keeps the going to 2.2.14090599 and saprovider FC , i did clean data saprovider and uninstall it worked , but after restarting gear and re-connect it back as it was even uninstalling saprovider wont help anymore.
so now its draining battery so quick. and media control not working.

I ran the same previous version of GM you did. I got GREAT battery life with it. Completely fixed my problem. Now I do have that stubborn update that keeps popping. This is what I do. I click GM app. Update popup comes up and says Cancel or Update. I click the update and when the DL starts, I hit the home button on my GS4 to minimize the app and then i hold the Home button to clear all apps which shuts down the GM app and kills the update. Then I go back to GM app and it does not ask me to update any more. It stays away until I reboot the phone normally. Temp fix i guess but Ill look into it more and see if there is a way to completely stop it.

I had this issue. I went into Titanium Backup and froze the SAProviders app. Stopped the popup because it was constantly popping up and was very annoying and could not use my phone at all. Frezzing the app solved the pop up but the bad battery life still stayed until i reverted back to a older version of the GM app like I said in the comment above this one. Still looking for a way to perm stop the update from popping up.
Downgrde to previous GM

Every time I try to go back it re-installs 599. Even if I stop it by holding down the home button and close all apps. I re-open GM and it goes right back to downloading additional software. Has anyone figured a way around this? My watch is dead in 6 hours the way it is now so it's basically useless...

first you need to uninstall new Gear Manager, then disable Samsung Apps (Settings->Apps), and then install older GM, you choose. That helped me to disable auto GM update from Samsung, what was very nervous...
Guys, I removed with Titanium all the Gear stuff and installed the 14071502 version without a problem. Freezing SAProviders stopped the update notification from showing up. But my Gear still uses around 10%/hour of battery Anything else I can try?

Guys, I removed with Titanium all the Gear stuff and installed the 14071502 version without a problem. Freezing SAProviders stopped the update notification from showing up. But my Gear still uses around 10%/hour of battery Anything else I can try?

I have also installed the 2.1.14071502 version. To prevent forcing to upgrade to 2.2, I just disabled Wifi and 3G.. so, it only installs the software of this version. When I got paired, I go to Gear Manager Setup and uncheck the Automatic Update .. so, I only have that version. For goprovider FC, I installed the version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2758364 (goprovider-signed-20140529.apk )
And that's all! I have a working goprovider, with 2.1 Manager.... BUT, this version doesn't allow the notification from any app! So, I don't get notifications from WhatsApp, FB, skype.. none! So, do you have another later version (not 2.2)? or any other way to get Whatsapp,etc notifications?

Update today

I just received the 4.4W.2 update. Now to figure out what I can do with it.
I now have a "play music" after "show alarms" and right before "settings"

Battery Life drastically improved with this new update. Like the whole "saving the cards" add on.
Any new stock watch faces?
Is root working after the update?
No new stock faces.
With this new update, my gear will charge to 100% and stay there. Before the update gear would get to 99% over night charging.
About root, I'm still trying to get drivers for my gear live. My computer sees my watch on adb devices, adb fastboot and gear disappears.

Still not get there
where did you get it?
I checked my settings -> about -> system updates and it is not there. Thanks for sharing!
Just reset mine and after the sync and it was on the get started screen i went to the update setting before swiping any cards and it is now downloading. I hope that helps.
Battery life ..... on since 6am now 8 hours later 75%
This is great update
Mine finally came through today. I like that cards are transparent on the clock screen and that they stay the same size (some watch faces hidden cards where large)
Haven't looked at card saving yet
Update Time?
I have between looking at the recover "downloading" screen for an hour? How long before i should get worried? Do i reset or unplug?
What is card saving?

Aftet the update my watch face keeps going black even though its set to always on restarted resynced. Hmm I was getting through the day at about 30% usage before so im not worried about the always on drain the battery. Anyway is anyome else having this issue or is it just me, maybe an app conflict with the new update.
4.4W.2 update
I was getting black screens before this update, mainly the Chrono Watch face (best watchface i have found so far) crashed when I rebooted the watch.
Screen completely black but the watch still responds to touch.
This update seems to have fixed that.
I do see a new music option on the watch which is cool.
I resync'd my apps after the update. Rebooted a few times also.
I was happy with battery life before. Improved battery life would be great, hoping someday to get 3 to 4 days on one charge.
New compass and navigate to nearby gas station
Got the update today. I'd advise applying it when on the charger. My Gear Live had 50% battery when I started the update and after it rebooted battery was at just 10%

Similar expereince when I did mine a few days ago lol.
I had problems with the update and now I'm getting maybe 3 hours of battery life. Also, it won't install any apps. Resetting the watch or rebooting the phone doesn't work.
So i did the update over the last few days and now everytime my watch "wakes up" it always displays "OK google" when lighting up and it usually covers up any detail in the watch and once it dissapears theres only a few seconds left to read the watch before it goes dark again
is there is any way to stop the "OK google" from showing up on the screen?
its the one thing that really irritates me about the update and that it wasn't an issue with the earlier firmwares

LOL looks like to make the "Ok google" stop appearing on your watch you need to activate the voie command feature about 2 or three times before it finally goes away.
just in case anyone else has this issue
