[Q] Turn off wrist flick thing....?

Is there a way to turn off the flicky wrist screen on thing on my G watch R? I use the "always-on screen" feature and dont need the display to light up fully every time i look at the watch....!
Best regards/ Henke

If you mute it, it turns that off. But then it is muted so I do not know if that is any good to you.

Most people seem to be using always on. Why? if you list your hand to look it comes on. It will make the battery last for a shorter time and what about screen burn? I may just be overthinking this.

ive done some playing around with screen always on / off and it really doesnt seem to make that much difference to battery 6:30am - 10:30pm and i have 50% battery left with screen always on. u might be able to get a few more % having it off but i didnt notice much difference in testing.
not sure about screen burn tho...

I am worried about the screen burn-in issue. The phone based on the same P-OLED display technology G Flex suffers from this problem. I can see that the quality of GWaR's panel is improved but the burn in problem should exist as long as it's oled.
Another small thing I noticed is when you use stock watch faces, their always on screen content will randomly shift a little every minute, to avoid screen burn(so LG is aware of this problem). Thus worrying about the screen burn is not over-thinking. I turned off the always-on function when I use 3rd party watch faces. (EDIT: 3rd-party watch faces can shift itself too, seems like it's a system-wide screen saving mechanism)

yes, it is - the Samsung Gear Live has the same feature - lets hope it helps in the long run...

Yeees
This is doing my head in, whats the point in an always on ambient mode, if the bloody thing turns on every time i move my arm. Pointless.
And mute it to stop it, then makes wearing it pointless?
This needs to be addressed asap!

LOL I think you misunderstood my post. I am in 100% agreement with both of you in that we need to be able to disable the "auto on" behavior without muting notifications.
Merely expressing my agreement...

+1 ??? Sorry for that.. Always read too quickly for my own good..!! ?

Just got my watch yesterday and this is also making me crazy... That's why I came to the forum in the first place. We need a setting to turn off the wake up movement gesture

Same thing here, it should be a fundamental control to turn this feature off. I'm a little worried about battery life on mine too, for some reason I'm just barely squeaking 24 hours on a full charge with no more than 12 notifications per day???

Patience my friends. Apparently there is a new update on the way, some lollipop for wear which has this much needed feature implemented.

Are you referring to "Theater Mode"? That turns the screen off. We want the screen to be on but in the dim state.

I'm referring to this:

Screen settings/brightness/and such

hey all,
I have a 360, and picked up a R to try out (I like that it looks like a "normal" watch). One thing I have been tinkering with is the screen settings. I like the "ambient" mode on the 360, which I guess makes use of the sensor. With the G, so far, all I can see if on or off. And even with the brightness dialed down to 1, it still seems pretty bright at night. Has anyone found this to be an issue or to address it? I have a little time to decide which I want to keep.
Any other advice for the watch would be much appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance!

With Wear Mini Launcher you can setup brightness below Level 1.
With "SWApp True Dark" you can setup brightness from 0% to 100%.

Thanks, I will give it a shot. Can you automate the timing of the brightness level? So, now when it gets dark at 5pm, adjust?
Thanks again

It has a trigger setup for night but not understand well how it works :
Seem to automatic dark after "x" minutes between "00:00 To 00:00" so you can go dark 1 min after no interaction between 20:00-06:00 I think.

Can you help me with my Bugs on my LG Watch R?

Hello all,
Today it's the third day with my LG Watch R. All in all I like it very much, although I think that the usability of the Samsung Gear 2 Neo (which I had before) is slightly better. After three days of using, I experienced some annoying bugs. Maybe it's just my fault, so maybe you are able to help me?
1. Sometimes the Watch doesn't receive any notifications. In this case my phone (Galaxy S 5) is blinking green because I received a Whatsapp message, but I got no notification on my watch...
2. Sometimes my watch doesn't vibrate, when I get a notification. (Although it worked before)
3. I don't understand, when the notification will be displayed in "fullscreen" and when it's just a small card on the display of the watch. I liked it very much on my Gear 2 Neo, that the notification are displayed in fullscreen while vibrating. Sometimes the LG Watch R does it similar, but the most of the time it only displays it as a card.
4. I can't turn the watch off, while charging it??
5. A Facer watchface stucks after several seconds. It only goes on, when I touch the monitor. Then it stucks again.
6. Is there a wear App, with which I'm able to read whatsapp messages at any time (and not only when I get a notification)?
7. Whatsapp again: Sometimes I see the pictures someone sent me in the background, sometimes not. I'm never able to see them as a real picture on the display at all.
I would be very happy, if someone is able to help me in some points. Maybe there are more people having these problems?
Many thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the Wear World
Same for me, my SW2 is more usefull than my LG-R and very very ..... better for all notifications. Notification are not the the highlight of wear.

Completely right Dersie, AWear has a very long way to go.

1. It only happens to me with WhatsApp ... not always though
2. Never happened .. maybe the vibration was weak and you've missed it.
3. The notification that will be pushed by the phone (like a message) will be first displayed full screen for few seconds, then it will become small for you to pick up when you want. The GNow cards that are informational only (stocks, weather) are generated by the GNow daemon in the watch itself (based on your GNow activity on the watch) and those will be displayed directly as small, informal cards.
4. The watch face is turning black by itself if the watch is not moving (I have no idea if it's related also to the horizontal position). This behaviour is independent of the charging status. So, leave it laying down on the table and you will see that it will go into a save power mode by itself (also when you put it to charge). Is taking few minutes to get into that state.
5.That is a purely Facer problem. Not watch's fault. I've bought Facer as well as WatchMaker and both had hiccups. Watchmaker is my option so far and is my daily driver for weeks, w/o any problem.
6. -------
7. Works for me but I saw it depends on the size of the picture (the large ones take more to be transferred via BT on the watch, for viewing).

1. The App needs to support it (or at least use a compatible notification type) - I also use a handful of apps that don't work (most notably those that have persistent notification to keep service alive and just change the content - this will not work with Wear)
2. For me it works flawlessly, but it's possible the watch "misses" a notification for some reason. Some apps also don't vibrate until you dismiss a previous notification from them.
3. Not sure what you mean, but card behaviour depends in part on the watchface you use - try Pujie or Watchmaker, it can be customized on both
4. Yes, this is impossible, the watch will always turn on. Maybe you can try charging it in recovery or bootloader, but that would burn the screen. You can put it in airplane mode while on charge, though. Also, if you have "Mute connected phone" selected, this will be disabled while on the charger, so no need to worry about missing something. Why would you want to do that, anyway?
5. This is normal, there are two modes for watchfaces - the "active" mode where everything is moving and shining, and "ambient" which is a lighter mode to save battery life - you want this mode to light up as few pixels as possible and there are no animations - you want this Avoid watch faces that have thick non-moving elements (like a center of a crown) - best is just a thin font with digital clock.
6&7. I don't use whatsapp, but this mostly depends on whatsapp and less on the watch.

Hi all,
First of all thank you very much for your answers so far!
1. 
 @ro_explorer: Yes, thats right, it's mostly whatsapp, but I think I experienced also this problem on e-mails
 @Zviratko: I see. But it's very confusing in the first days of using the watch
I uninstalled Mini Launcher for Wear yesterday und now I don't have any missed notifications. Maybe it has something to do with Mini Launcher and Lollipop?
2.
See point 1. After uninstalling it, the watch vibrates as it should.
3.
This is the point I still don't understand. For example on my Samsung Gear 2 a notification stay in fullscreen for 5 seconds and then the watch is shown again and I can see this notification in the notifications tab. It's very random on my LG Watch R, when the notification is being showed in full screen (not a "big" card, it was full screen, like swiping to this card).
But, also here, I never saw a fullscreen notification after uninstalling Mini Launcher?!
4. Now I understand this behavior! In important things like showing notifications the watch seems so stupid but in this case, the watch is very smart. Hurray! :laugh:
5. Okay, I will try watchmaker then, thanks! @ro_explorer
7. I see, that makes sense. Maybe I was just too fast for the watch. By the way: Are the pictures on your watch in good quality @ro_explorer ? Mine are looking like 50x50 pixels or something like this
It's very sad, that the wear system still needs so much to develop. I thought it is stable, like the Gear 2 was (c'mon, it's Samsung, normally they are not the kings in developing..). Hopefully it will change in the next months, when the iwatch arrives the stores. I love the design of the watch and don't want to miss it, but these bugs and problems are driving me crazy :crying:

Hi,
I have just added a "make notifications vibration stronger" feature in last SWApp Launcher Wear version:

I've read about others have this problem with the Urbane 2. Have you tried resetting the watch? I believe this stopped the issue for others in the following thread...... http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=698153

Mines been doing exactly the same since the last update, and not just in theatre mode. I've literally just tried resetting the watch and indeed my phone (it was due for a clean install anyway), but it's too early to say whether it's definitely fixed the issue or not... So far so good, though!

I am facing the same problem for a long time and I've been trying to reset my urbane twice already but it makes no changes

always on display does not always work

I noticed that the functionality doesn't always work. after a while it disappears, and I have to tap on screen to see it again.
I s there something wrong or there's an adjustment to work all the time like Samsung devices?

Set to Show items -> Always, default set is "10s after tapping a screen. its not real Always tho, it will off if in the dark room for long time.

I wish the miui dev. make it works all the time.

Also when you mount it inside Car and its dark inside....the AOD always Gies ON And OFF ...because off Movement from CAR.
I asked a someone here ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/themes/magisk-custom-aod-miui-11-t3998861#post81041433 ) .
He has done a AOD MOD with other backgrounds....Perhaps he can help US.
For me a AOD must been ALWAYS ON.

Well maybe xiaomi doesnt understand with "ALWAYS ON". I often missing a notification because of always on, wich is not always on.

trust me, there is other apps, like "always on amoled" who do the job. with no problem.

I use the app "Always On Edge Lighting". Luxury applications ....

They Drain bettery very fast.I tryed so much Always On Apps from Playstore.But always haey battery drain...
And you must doubleclick Screen to open fingerprintscreen ... Back Notificationled also does not working with 3party AOD apps...

As i Said : trust me, the app " always on amoled " works like a dream, no problem, on my device : no battery draining. There is somme setting : just use double tap to wake up screen, no captors needed, good for battery life !
I think the "problem" with the xiaomi led is the same : only work when screen is off, when you unlock it, led is gone....
But my friend, the good news ; there is an app in MIUI, somme other on playstore, good for everybody. I repeat, trust me, If you have trouble with sms notification, before your broke your phone : ) try this app !
