Is there a way to refresh the weather on the watch? It updated once and hasn't changed in 12 hours.

Open the weather widget and change it in the settings on your phone. Then reboot both
Actually it is in the setting for weather in the Gear Manager app.

There isn't anyway as of now to refresh from the watch itself. It does autoupdate as soon as the app on the phone updates tho. I currently have the phone app set to update hourly on mine so that the weather info stays somewhat updated. I would imagine a future update will include someway to refresh directly from the watch itself.

That just allows you to setup how often the weather is refreshed, it doesn't actually do what the op asked which is refresh the weather from the watch. As a side note when you change the settings in Gear Manager that you mentioned it changes the settings in the weather widget on the phone and vice versa. I do believe that a future update will allow you to refresh the weather directly from the watch tho.

Undersood the question but frequent update (e.g. every hour) should mean there is no need to update from the watch. The weather does not change that fast!
Weather not updating at all

The problem i'm having is that Weather isn't updating at all on my Gear,
If i go into apps and press weather i'm met with 'Add city to weather widget on mobile device'
On the main Gear clock/weather screen it states 'No weather info'
I've tried turning 'Use current location' on and off in Gear Manager, restarting both devices didn't help.
Also tried resetting the Gear to factory defaults.
I'm using a stock Note 3.
Everything else seems to work well,
Any ideas ?

is the weather app setup correctly on the Note 3? It gets all of it's info from the stock app on the Note, oddly enough the weather app is obviously different from previous versions as it doesn't work at all on an S4.

Appreciate the quick reply,
Everything was setup correctly but for some reason re-installing Gear Manager on my Note made it work.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but i don't know if it's worth creating a new one...
Is there any quicker way to check battery life ?
The only way I know is to go into the Settings app on the Gear and then Battery.

Is there a way to get the TouchWiz Accuweather widget to run in the Nova launcher? It seems that only the TouchWiz version updates the weather clock on the Galaxy Gear watch. It would be nice to have it work with Nova as well. I did install the Accuweather application from the Play Store, but its widget doesn't sync with the Gear watch, or so it appears.

Here's a version of TouchWiz Accuweather I've had since Note1, which works on Nova.

You have to use a root browser to copy it to system/app.
With the new tizen update you can refresh weather manually from the watch now

Weather widget for Galaxy Gear
Hello to all
I noticed that all the widgets I tried to use that was not native to SAMSUNG is not synchronizing with the Galaxy GEAR.
Thus, I can not use the coolest launchers because of this.
Some of you can use other launchers and weather widgets that sync with the Galaxy Gear?
Thanks.

Apex launcher, disable widget padding in advanced settings.
has anyone tried contacting devs of the nova launcher?
perhaps they do not even realize that there is an issue with it..

Nova settings, disable or hide the dock, then run watch styler as a widget.
My watch styler works perfectly full screen using Nova Prime/Fomey Null rom (I did NOT install the full system UI).

Not perfect, although very close to it
You will notice a slight gap surrounding the page.. its called widget padding. Sadly novalauncher does not offer a option to disable/modify this settings..
It is barely noticeable, the only time I noticed it was when a user actually pointed it out with a screenshot..

No simply add the watchstyler widget to the homescreen, you may have to resize it.. but beside that you should be in the clear.

I ran into the same problem nova launcher andit is quite distracting. But my question which is very close to this is that whenever my galaxy gear wakes up it goes directly to the multiple home screen menu. How do I change that.?

you can't launch 1 by one,but there an app called "Small App Launcher"
It launches small apps more easy & clear
Search the app on Play Store
Thanks, but I've seen that one. Didn't really suit me.
I'm surprised that this hasn't been addressed before.

Hi,
How can I add the notification icon on my watch face in watch stayler?
Thanks
You can't. What you see is what you get.

You could achieve this with null rom...... there's a function on nova launcher to overlay widgets. I think there's also a gear specific app somewhere in this part of the forum called noticounter, or something like that. Set up using watch styler as your widget on nova then whack the noticounter widget on top. Should do the trick. I hope that's what you're looking for.
Personally I prefer using a zooper widget on my gear set up. Bit more choice in what I can do and it doesn't drain the battery like watch styler. There's probably a way to display notifications through zooper but I've not tinkered with that.
Lets hear what launcher you are using, why you are using it, and any negatives that there might be about it . I'll start:
I'm currently using Aviate Launcher because of looks and simplicity. Icons are smaller and you can use Icon Packs to change the look of stock icons. It knows when I am home travelling, at work, shops and restaurants, and even morning and night time, and changes based on what apps are most relavent for those situations. It also will create "collections" of apps depending on what type of app it is. For example under my Entertainment category I have Netflix, YouTube, Flixter, HBO Go and The CW in the main view and I can expand the category to see even more apps such as IMDb and Eventbrite. These collections can be modified, added or removed. It also has all of my apps listed in alphabeticle order on the far right screen for apps that might not be in a specific category. I'll update this post with screenshots for those who are curious to the look of it.
Not sure why I couldn't edit my original post to add pics from the mobile app...

I am using nova for it is the best battery friendly launcher out there. Not only that but also that the performance and speed is unbeatable than any other launcher. I currently am running it with mador icon pack with black wallpaper in order to save battery. I have tried tons of launchers out there in the play store and occasionally revert to aviate launcher too.
How I have my phone set up with nova launcher
Xperia 206b
Best app drawer sorting & more.
A minor bug where upon uninstalling an app from this drawer the launcher crashes, but rare. Not lollipop ready. No longer supported.

Now I am using action launcher 3 plus and is very good closest to nova too in simplicity and battery friendly

Nova launcher. It has never ever given me a problem and it has a ton of features. Sometimes I even forget that I'm not on stock launcher, lol.

Apex launcher, "smoke & glass" icon pack.
I use Nova. I like having a clean setup and Nova allows me to customize pretty much every aspect of the launcher. I even have Lollipop animations and folder colors now In order: Homescreen #1, Homescreen w/ folder open, App Drawer.
I've been using Apex (free) on my previous Galaxy S3. I went to try Nova on this new phone, but noticed you can't disable the widgets from the app drawer... Apex does this on the free version. So, I'm sticking with Apex on the new phone too... it does everything I need it to, is very customizable (even on the free version), and it's fast too.

You cant disable from the app drawer But u can do one better
and remove it from showing in the app drawer
Action Launcher 2 cause it just works
Nova prime. Gestures alone is win. Don't need to go all the way to top for notifications. Been using it for years.
I use Themer. Can't beat it. With this and Color Status Bar, I have a custom and easily swappable setup that helps me recover from my crack flashing addiction.
Hmmm... I have the pay version of nova, holo, and action. I tend to use action 2 most, the setup for folders and blinds exists nowhere else and is exceptionally useful. I switch to holo otherwise for change of pace, its the same as nova, apex, etc but lighter and smoother. The launchers that try and give you a changing setup depending on time and/or place totally don't work for me.
Lol, I just use stock google now launcher. ?
I used Aviate for a day or 2 and noticed horrible battery life. I'm talking like 12 hours and battery is down to 25%. Switched to Goggle now launcher and have much better battery life, so I'm sticking with that for the moment. I'll bounce between this, themer or Buzz launcher.
