Hey, Group...
Got my Gear 2 Neo a few months ago....I expected some "growing pains" out of a new system (and I haven't been disappointed)...but I guess my first question is:
Where The Aitch-Ee-Double-Toothpicks are the *SECONDS*?
Whose Bright Idea was it to eliminate those nasty, useless seconds from the Clock? (same people that want to get rid of the Penny, I'm betting)
This is a *WATCH*...not a *Sundial*!
I want to use one of the basic clocks...they are clean and easy to read...but unless I get some weird Retro LCD Clockface...or an Analog...I can't seem to get *seconds*....It's obviously possible *to* display them (other faces have 'em)...why not the Stock Clock? What gives??? (*pant*pant*pant*)....okay...I'm a little better, now.
But seriously...I repair Medical equipment for a living; that often relies on synchronized data.....I need to be able to set those devices *accurately*...not "Aww...plus-or-minus a couple of minutes is fine!"
So...that's the first question (okay...I guess it was more of a Rant *blushes*)....the Second Question is.....is there anyplace to actually *interact* with the Tizen Devs? I went to the Tizen site...and I thought they made it pretty clear that if you're not a Dev...they really don't want to hear from you.)
Ive got nothing against Hacking (running People's ROM on my Galaxy S3)...but if you don't *need* to hack it...why bother?
Okay...next ones are regarding Apps (or the lack thereof):
Does anyone know of an App that will turn *off* the Inertia Sensor for a specific period of time? Specifically, I'd like to wear my Neo to bed...but every time I move in my sleep, it turns on, and ticks my wife off...so turning the Intertia sensor off between, say, 10PM and 6AM would be *awesome*! (Obviously, turning it on from the "Home" Button would still work)
And...I know this is an Issue...because I've seen some other posts about it, but no Solutions....is there a way to make the Weather app update more than twice a day? I flat *cannot* force it to update, unless I reset *everything* (Watch and phone)
I guess the corollary to that question is: Do any of you guys know of anyone Developing a Weather App *besides* AccuWeather? (I'd *love* to see WeatherBug do one...but that prolly won't happen...they can't fit Ads onto the Watch face...)
Thanks in advance, guys (and gals)...I'm really not a raving lunatic (most of the time) :silly:
I can't address all these issues but generally seconds are left off of stock watch faces to save battery. I just turned off the motion action altogether because the watch turned on at very weird times whether I was sleeping or not. I got used to using the button to see the time very quickly.
I know that is not a help but there you are.

The Weather channel has an app for the watch, although it doesn't have the option of adding it to the clock "window".
I use the sleep tracker at night and it has an option to have it turn on Block mode and that keeps the watch from coming on when moving in your sleep, as well as coming on for any notifications from your phone.
not sure on the Tizen development question though.
I have owned pretty much every Galaxy phone so far and though I've loved each one, there's a few completely annoying issues that I end up having solve through a custom ROM, launcher, a developer script, or something along those lines. I thought for once with the Note 4 I would be able to for once keep everything stock besides having it rooted but it looks like I was wrong.
The issue I'm having right now is driving me through the wall. My phone answers phone calls AUTOMATICALLY ON ITS OWN when connected to BLUETOOTH.
It happens consistently, the exact same way, every single time. When I'm connected in my car it answers after exactly 2 rings (2 seconds). It is getting ridiculous and sometimes I just want to toss the phone out of the window while I'm driving down the freeway. Its extremely annoying to have your phone answer a call that you absolutely no intention of answering, ESPECIALLY WHEN I'M DRIVING. I'm tremendously busier in the past year and don't have time to sit and tinker like I used to or I'm sure I would've either solved this or gotten a new phone by now.
I already made sure auto-answer is OFF: Settings > Call > Call Accessories > Automatic answering [Box is not checked]
THIS IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THE PHONE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ON ALL 3 OF MY CARS & 2 OTHER CARS I'VE TRIED.
Please, if anyone knows how to fix this issue or anything about this completely ridiculous issue, please share.
Ok so I am just now jumping on the lollipop bandwagon and naturally I am now victim to the utter insanity that was Googles decisions to completely rape the notification method we are all used to. There are literally thousands of support requests online of people begging for a solution to this, and all of them sound like total crap. I dont even know what to ask, other than surely you know what I mean. There is no silent mode in android anymore. It's this weird "priority" crap. If you try to silence your phone you silence the alarms too, WHICH IS NUTS! So now my stupid phone is waking me up in the middle of the damn night to alert me that my ****ing battery has charged and the only way I can deal with it is to completely silence the entire damn thing and use an alternative alarm on my desk drawer. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!
So I beg of you, how in the bloody HELL am I supposed to make this phone act like it used to. This weird priorty/non-priority thing just makes no sense to me whatsoever. I want my phone SILENT AT NIGHT, but I still want the ****ing alarm to go of!!! jesus christ
SOLVED: Installed CM12.... ****in google lol.
Every time I turn location on, which I normally have off, I get two pop-ups for consent. It is really annoying. Is there any way to prevent those?
It's all stock, on Verizon.
I know this isn't the answer you're looking for, but I had the same problem, and I simply ended up... leaving Location on all the time, and never turn it off. In my experience, it automatically activates whenever it's needed and is shut when not in use. I didn't notice any impact on battery life (maybe it does but it didn't trigger my annoy-o-matic) and on the plus side, I don't ever have to toggle it and answer those silly popups anymore. Also, maybe this is "bad" for your privacy, as you don't control precisely when you want to be tracked or not but, and maybe that's what they're pushing people to do with those stupid popups but... oh well I guess we are already tracked anyway, and it's just a matter of "accepting" it instead of thinking that we can actually refuse and prevent it
First of all, I really like my galaxy watch 5 pro. I often take my LTE version when I go running, connected to my Galaxy buds live. There are certain issues I have, which drive me bananas:
When it passes a marker (for example, every mile), it breaks up the music, briefly. Usually only for the first one or two markers. And then it reappears later, sometimes. Definitely an intermittent issue. It's like, it pauses and tries to figure out what it is supposed to do: the watch is like 'Do I pause,? do I stop the music? Do I act like there's a major blast of Wi-Fi in the area news connection?' it's like it has a conflict going on inside it.
Secondly even when I've got it on do not disturb, if someone phones me or there are certain kinds of messages that go to my phone, they still forward!! The worst is if somebody calls me, it stops the music! And it's almost impossible to stop the call while running! And I can't restart the music without really fiddling around with the watch, and that is really difficult to do without losing your pace.
It's not a great running watch in my opinion. Samsung needs to fix some things here.
Am I the only one? Maybe it's my watch.

A possible reason for the break in the music could be that you are switching between cell towers and there is possibly a gap in the signals, happens to me sometimes when driving down motorways. or maybe there is a setting somewhere to inform you when you reach these markers and its briefly trying to silently play another sound idk dont own the watch so cant really say what the problem is except for some general things it could be.
Secondly bugs bugs and more bugs, dislike them a lot myself lol
What fitness app are you using? I don't wear earbuds when running but Strava seems to work really well. A good fitness app will allow you to customize notifications. Maybe consider disabling wireless data when running.
It drives me bananas. I went on a run today. As it starts telling me my lap info, the music cuts out, the voice is a bit broken up, and then, when I'm in an area with trees, it must confuse the gps which makes the watch decide that I have 'lapped', and it starts giving me new lap times every 5 seconds!!! Makes it impossible to use with earbuds. MYne it is the combination of everything going on, and I admit it's a lot, data, voice ready, music to Bluetooth, gps, Samsung health app running etc... But they sell this as a WORKING solution, and it so often doesn't work properly (for me).

I just went for a 2 mile walk while listening to earbuds through the watch and Samsung Health was monitoring it and it worked perfectly.
Ok, I may have solved the issue. Will be testing it soon. I switched from Samsung to Google text so speech engine.
