The Google app only has a list of top 15 paid watch faces but it no longer goes up to 200? Anyone else having this issue? I like to look at the top lists here and there but noticed it stops at 15. I only get to see "watch faces for you" :(

Comparison GW Ultra 2025 vs Ultra 2

3 Upvotes

Hello guys, i'm pretty much more interested on the ultra versions now, since i've seen some reviews and the post i made here also helped me to go after an Ultra.

The question is... the ultra 2 is almost twice the price, is it THAT much better to cost that? i know some things improved (battery, processor is snapdragon now... which seems to be nice, better brightness and also fast charging!) but, it seems that we lost the digital bezel... not that it's a game changer for me, but i think it is nice to haver MORE features, not less.

So, is it worth? thanks again for the help, i'm willing to either buy the ultra or the ultra 2

Watch 5 Pro and snorkeling

5 Upvotes

I am going on vacation and plan to go snorkeling in the red sea. I want to be able to wear my watch, but I can't find any diving cases for the watch 5 pro. I don't think I'll dive deeper than like 6-8 meters.

Is it safe to wear my watch without any additional protection, and if not, what can I do to protect it?

Are there any precautions or measures I should take before I go snorkeling or afterwards?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Samsung Calendar notifications randomly stop working on my Galaxy phone and Watch 8

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a strange issue with Samsung Calendar on my Galaxy phone and Galaxy Watch 8.

Sometimes reminders work normally, but sometimes:

- My phone shows the reminder without sound or vibration, and it disappears quickly.

- When I'm using my phone, the reminder sometimes appears with sound.

- Sometimes both my phone and watch alert, but other times the watch doesn't notify me.

This started suddenly. I didn't change any settings before it began. I've checked the notification settings, tested sample events, re-imported my calendar, and cleared the Calendar app data, but the problem still happens.

I use Smart device selection and don't want to switch to “Always show on both.”

Has anyone experienced this issue? What fixed it for you?

Thanks!

Question about GW Ultra 2 - Gemini issues with second language

3 Upvotes

On a Samsung phone, I have no issue talking to Gemini in English and Bulgarian. It easily picks up the language and responds in kind, so it's not a "lack of support for the language" issue.

On the GWU2 I've updated everything. The Gemini app even changed its greeting to Bulgarian. However, it fails to understand even the simplest queries. It defaults back to English and generates responses for the most random, insane and even holy f* this probably put me on a list questions.

Gemini and support guides all suggest to add a second speech language in the app settings. However, the list of available languages has only 25 items and most of them are Asian ones. This can't be right, since using Gemini on the phone there is no need to even specify the language. Has anyone got a solution for a similar problem with the Gemini app on the GWU2?

Hi guys, I've just noticed some blue lines on my band. I have no idea where they came from, but I guess my jacket sleeves may be the problem. How do I get rid of those blue lines? I've already tried ethyl alcohol, but it didn't help.

Galaxy Watch 7 Serious Lag

52 Upvotes

Last Tuesday, my Galaxy Watch 7 got a little warmer than usual after a complete charge using the included Samsung charger. I didn't think much of it at the time, but when I put my watch on my wrist, it was seriously laggy, to the point it is hardly usable. I wasn't paying much attention to the timing, but I want to say I had updated it to One UI 8.0 in the few days prior to this issue first popping up and wondered if anyone else here has had this same issue or knows how to fix it.

I've tried pretty much everything I can think of that Google/Gemini recommended, just short of flashing the firmware, including a full power cycle, clearing the memory, clearing the cache, uninstalling any third party watch faces, and finally factory resetting the watch; all with absolutely no noticeable change after any of the above actions. I couldn't really find any videos online that matched the kind of lag I'm talking about, but hoping maybe someone here has seen this issue and may know a fix for it to save me from having to send it back to Samsung to repair.

I am planning to buy Galaxy Watch 8 40mm because I have small wrist and I think that model suits best for me. But many reviews mentioned that the battery of this watch is pretty awful. Do you guys think that I should buy this watch?

LTE Watch8 LTE: home screen/watch face freezing

8 Upvotes

What happens: every few seconds the watch face stops responding. The quick panel and Settings still open, and the apps themselves work fine if I launch them with the physical button or from the Galaxy Wearable app. So it looks like the home screen/launcher is what's hanging, not the apps.

Trigger: it started within the first 5 days of use, after I uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp. Uninstalling WhatsApp fixed it completely, but I want to use the app on my newly bought watch, of course. After a factory reset everything works fine for a while too, but then the freezing comes back, whether or not I uninstall/reinstall it. If I don't restore the backup it lasts a little longer, but it always ends up back at the same problem after a while. It has also happened with Spotify a few times.

What I've tried:

- Clearing cache

- Everything updated (watch firmware, Galaxy Wearable + plugin, all apps)

- Factory reset, set up as new, NO backup restore

- Default Samsung watch face with no complications

- Media controls auto-launch and gestures disabled

- Samsung service center replaced the mainboard under warranty. No change

- Second visit: the technician reproduced the issue, said it's probably software and asked me to leave it there for another week. I didn't really trust them to find anything since they say they've never seem this before, so I decided to give it a few days before going through that whole ordeal again.

Has anyone seen this on the Watch8 or Watch8 Classic? Any fix, ADB command or hidden setting worth trying? There's a similar thread here (link) that never got resolved. Please help, I'm going crazy over this.
