Hi Guys,
First of all, my new smart phone Samsung Galaxy Note3 (only 3 weeks old) has not been rooted yet. To be honest, I am not sure if I will do so in the very near future since I am still very happy with the way it works at the moment.
Nevertheless, I come to you with a cry for help, since I know from my very own experience in the past, that your forum is "the place to be" for technical issues and you guys are always here, willing and mostly able, to help a desperate forum member.
I recently installed TomTom on my smart phone and I noticed that, as soon as I am on the highway doing more than 80 kilometers per hour, that at the down site of my screen it shows a continuously horizontal striping and/or flickering (smaller and broader striping); and it makes no difference wether my screen is positioned horizontal or vertical, in my car holder. This striping and/or flickering keeps going on until I lower my speed again for driving in town (50 kilometers per hour). I also noticed that sometimes the highway exits stay visible in my screen while I long passed it. It looks like it is "lagging", although, through out the ride, the "position arrow" shows exactly and correctly where I am...
To make sure wether it was only a problem with the TomTom Navigation or not, I also installed Sygic Navigation. With Sygic, there is no flickering or striping showing on my screen when driving on the highway, but in here there is the problem that EVERY highway exit stays visible in my screen while I long passed it. However, both of these navigation programs worked flawless on my former smart phone, the Galaxy Note 1 (Android 4.2.1 - JellyBean).
Are you familiar with this issue? Could it be the new Android version 4.4.2 (KitKat) that might be causing the problem or could it be a (GPS ?) setting in my phone that needs to be altered or checked?
I seriously hope that you can help me out here.
Thanking you in advance.
Kind regards.

Could possibly be KK?
I'm still on JB and navfree works great.
Are you saying that you removed the default KK software to replace it with JB again?? If so, you most have lost all the features (the pen features as well) that Samsung delivered with this phone, I suppose...

My main phone for the past year and a half has been a Huawei mediapad x2. Tmobile had the black Friday trade in deal for this phone, so I turned in my very unreliable note 4 and hoped to have a very nice, very affordable 2nd phone, with LTE to boot (mediapad only gets hspa +)
Fast forward a couple days and I have a lot of issues with this phone. With the stock app load out plus Facebook messenger and pie Control, I get an error every time I try to give permission to an app that a screen overlay is detected. Running marshmallow on the mediapad did not give this issue. Both of these apps are mandatory for me, but the error forces me to turn off drawing over apps any time I want to set a new permission. Very inconvenient. Is there any stock tmobile app that might be causing a conflict?
Second, piecontrol seems to think the edge pixels on both sides are dead pixels, as does Swift key, making typing a p a real chore. Are the edges supposed to respond to touch?
Finally, YouTube freeze frames when I change orientation or pop out of and back into the app. Not even the thumbnail, it just freezes up on a frame and won't resume proper playback until I pause the video, leave the app, come back, and resume it.
Any advice on any of these issues?
I've noticed that if I have a chat head open, it says to turn off screen overlay. Once I close out of the chat head, it allows me to give permission. I'm sure the same can be said for any app that is currently laying over the top of another app. Try closing whatever is on top and let me know. For what it's worth, once Nouget is released, you won't have that issue anymore. I'm currently running the beta of 7.0
Closing out the chat head unfortunately did not fix my issue. Is there any other ways to work around this?
Snap despite drawer also causes the overlay issue.
I do not think any of the problems posted are related to the phone.

I'll look into exchanging it then, it struck me as odd that a top tier phone like this struggles with YouTube, which I must have.
I exchanged the phone for an identical device. Every issue persists as before. Of the issues I mentioned, the app overlay detected is grueling and the YouTube issues are highest priority to deal with. Is there any sort of app I can use to collect feedback, or would providing a list of all apps on the phone help?
If it matters at all, I have the newer coral blue variant, I don't know if that could possibly have different software than the ones that launched earlier this year.
Am I missing something here or was everything about this launch misleading
I picked up the Gen 5 today. Google assistant does not talk to me. Only shows results on screen. And the battery modes are no where to be found.
I had a software update when I finished loading everything and no difference.
What am I missing??
I got one as well. Assistant talks to me just like it is supposed to. Do you have the speaker enabled under settings (swipe down from main screen)? Same with battery modes... they are right there next to the speaker icon when you swipe down. Icon is of a battery with a plus in the middle. Great watch so far, absolutely love it!

Which one is the speaker. Are you talk about the sound icon. That's for notifications, is it not?
I ended up finding the battery modes
Regardless. The battery life has been horrendous for me.
On my Gen 4 I would end my day from 630am till 8pm and have 60% left.
My Gen 5. I started at 8 ended at 630pm and had 10%
The speaker icon is essentially all sounds or mute AFAIK. Also I second that the battery is terrible. Started the day at 06:00, been in high power save and died at about 13:30! Seriously hope they can address this in the next update

Ya that is on and nothing from assistant. Only shows results on the screen. Does not talk back to me. So something is going on
I just got the new gen 5 watch for few days, I have issue on phone calls using the watch. While call in or pick up the call have too much chopping and distortion. I tried reboot the watch once and it work normal but after that it came back. Any pone have this issue? Or is only my watch is faulty?

Have the same issue. With both of them I had
I think it's a software issue and needs an update. Hopefully fossil is quick to address.

They did a piss poor job of this launch.
Software has major issues and bugs are running rampant. Speaker call issues. Battery life issues. Assistant not talking back to you. Battery modes hidden and not in settings.
There are some serious issues they need to resolve and fast
offline music app
I want to download music and play it offline since we have the storage - can anyone recommend the best music app for Wear OS for this purpose? TIA

I wanted to look for it too, since spotify is still not able to offline listen music from watch.
Got the Gen 5 too. Pretty poor battery life.
Anybody know other than putting the watch everytime to "DND" or "Silent" how to avoid the charging sound when plugged and unplugged? I don't mind if somebody know the value in System / Global or Secure and write it via ADB.
P.s.: First Fossil, pretty poor watch (unstable). Same here, speaker glitch when talking, Google assistant talks when he wants and awful battery life. My Lemfo China watch was better...
Thank's
In order for the assistant to work properly, I had to set the language to English US. This needed to be done on the phone's setting and the on the google assistant settings through the wear OS app. For some reason setting it to English Australia cripples the assistant. Not an ideal fix, since it switches all apps on my phone and watch to imperial instead of metric. I have contacted support. It may be that you're seeing the same issue with Canada?
In terms of the speaker for calls, there is a known issue with the choppy sound and requiring a reboot to fix. They said they're working on a fix and will be rolling out a software fix soon.
As for the battery life. The different modes trade off functionality for slightly extended battery life. The battery life is not great, but I can stretch it to a full day. It took some time for it to settle down though after all the software updates and syncing of apps. It was terrible on day one and two.
Ciao I will try asking here as well since this is a Fossil Gen 5 specific thread.
The ok google detection is on.
if I keep pressed the centre button the Google assistant is launched on the watch and I can talk to the watch to give commands.
If I say "ok google" to the watch the assistant is launched on the phone and not on the watch, so I have to talk to the phone while I'd like talk to the watch.
Brightness issue??
I'm planing to buy the watch, but there are many reports that brightness of the watch is too low even compared to gen 4 or older Moto 360 or Huawei watch 1. Is it really the case,??
Can that be fixed from software side??
Also they have not specified display glass quality.. I mean gorilla,,sapphire..? ....
Can anyone help in clarifying
Thanks
I like the new Generation sure the battery life in custom mode with everything on maybe a bit worse than Generation 4 but at the end of the day I get easy 30% .... fooling around with it a bit more too because it is new.

Never been that happy but when I wake the watch so far I always have been able to read it.
"Kind of the trade of the brighter the display the worse the battery life"
Glass not sure ? Never has a problem or scratches with the Generation 4
Different story for me, it's my hmmm 9th or 10th smartwatch, the Gen5 for me is a disappointment. The quality is not just there for now. MAYBE if they fix the bugs but other than putting the speaker to off, you can't quiet the watch when finishing charging. Also, the speaker distort a lot and waiting for a firmware update so for now, it's being returned to Fossil. Will wait for the Vivoactive 4s, the upcoming Diesel that might have a newer firmware and maybe the Galaxy Watch 2.
Really I must have got the one working watch.
I pull the watch out the charger at 7am and at 11pm I still have 70%....
Always on display, I turned off nothing including NFC, WiFi, GPS, bluetooth
My way of thinking is if it is not connected it is not working.
I read people can not find the battery modes ?
Swipe from the top down, what do you think the battery icon is for ?
Just for kicks I may one day see just how long I can make the battery last....
The watch is extremely fast and responsive.
For me there is no other choices, Galaxy Watch .... no apps, no Google Pay.
If you are not using a Samsung Device ??
The Fossil Generation 4 I guess is not bad, no speaker...... but most people in this thread are complaining about the speaker anyway. However I do agree above all the speaker can use some work.
for everyone who is facing google assistant issue i also had similar issues that GA doens't use to talk to me but then i came to know that you need to change the language of your mobile follow this
settings -> system -> languages & input -> languages and add English(UK) or English(US) to the list and keep it on first.
and the one which will be on first should be the language set in your watch as well. the reboot your watch and voila you can talk and get response from GA
hope this fixes your issue.
and with the calling issue and speaker issue its a major wear os bug on july 2019 patch. we will have to wait for new patch to be launched.
Have a good one
Wear Media for Wear OS
able to upload music to my Gen 5 but noticed a considerable lag when accessing the app on the watch. It takes a while for all the albums to show up and then it takes 15 seconds sometimes to have the first song of an album to show up, which is necessary to start playing. Anyone have a similar experience?
Guys, is it possible to sideload apps to gen 5?
Not seeing much on here about this watch so I thought I would start a new thread just for it! Who has one on their wrist? Tell us what you think. It is high on my list for my next Smartwatch.

I've had one for several weeks. Absolutely love it. I've had several other Mobvoi watches, but this is the best of them all. I'm getting close to 3 days battery life with all sensors turned on, using the secondary display. I'm able to sleep with it on to use the TicSleep app. Play Store loads quickly on it, and runs smoothly. If I get a call while wearing my ear buds, the call comes in simultaneously on my phone, my buds, and the watch, giving me the option to pick which one to answer the call. No other watch has ever responded that quickly to calls. All in all, a great watch. Well worth the expense.

Mine is supposed to show up this Friday. Can't wait! I'm using an Amazfit Pace so I expect a huge improvement. Still, my Pace that I use since 2 years does a fine job.
Ticwatch Pro 3 gps
Just received my Ticwatch Pro 3 gps and loving it so far. Took 20 days for delivery, what they didn't mentioned when ordering, they stated 4 to 6 days from ordering, but ok. On the Mobvoi forum, i have read some disturbing post on the watch and poor customer service from Mobvoi. But isn't that with all forums, you just only complain if something is wrong, not if everything works ok. Well have fun with the watch!
Hello.
I hope for a few opinions from the owners of the watch, which are a consequence of yesterday's software update?
Been using mine for a month. This is what a wearos watch should have always been. Great batt life, fabulous display. Got a deal for $200 direct from mobvoi, pre ordered.
Sounds like a good wear os watch...
I pre-ordered this watch and have had it around 5 weeks now.
This is my first wearOS watch by choice. I waited for a processor that was half decent and that came with the Snapdragon Wear4100.
This watch lasts be between 2.5 to 3 days with me doing a GPS tracked walk every evening for around 1 hour, 24 hour heart rate monitoring, constantly connected via Bluetooth to my phone.
This watch also doesn't have the latest WearOS update that is supposed to improve app opening times etc but even without that, this watch is smooth and it doesn't feel like there are lags anywhere.
There isn't a custom ROM yet but if they come in time this watch would only get better.
In short, if you want a WearOS watch, this is a clear winner and overall great watch.

My watch arrived a few hours ago, delighted so far - but I'm unable to register on the Mobvoi site, no matter what I enter the page always gives the error "Please enter correct phone".

EDIT: and the answer is - you enter your email address in the field marked "Phone number" (!)
Just got mine today and it's a nice watch. My first one too. The announced endurance, récents update of the os, the price, the snapdragon and the two screens convince me to finally buy one. Waiting for a really good one since the firsts Lg watch. Hope it will work for a long.
Calls are clear, large choices of apps and themes.
I think I'll buy another bracelet and an protection glass. If anyone had one to recommend.
Fr customer.
It's been more than a week with the watch and I'm impressed with everything around it. Many applications and sensors for everything that interests us in everyday life. Responds quickly to everything, when receiving notifications and when making calls, the screen responds immediately without delay.
I got mine yetserday.. gods I missed the wearOS line.. so glad I'm past my Tizen device now.
Some questions though:
whats happened to the gestures?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WhKuklpQ9A
I dont seem to be able to do the "perform an action" "dip" Gesture anymore
Also where is the setting that "lights up" the grey screen? I don't seem to have that option
*Edit* Fixed this, had to turn OFF the "Tilt to Wake" to get the light up...
If i understand your question, this gestures are in Settings/ Gestures/ For navigation.
On another question for lighting in FTN screen, there is no option to change time to light.
We have option to disable the light on ftn screen, just set theater mode from quick buttons.
For light, set tilt to wake OFF.
What is for you dip gesture?

Click to collapse
The "Dip" gesture let you dip your hand down to "open the notification"
and the reverse "lift" gesture to close the opened app (go back essentially)
These two dont seem to be on WearOS anymore
Hi, anyone got this issue?
I try to test the watch to less than 5%, but it doesn't automatically switch to essential mode. Anyone know what might be wrong? I have tried to set it in the essential mode apps but seems doesn't change a thing. Thanks
This must be the kernel source of this watch according to the official forum:

hart reset
does someone know, how to really hart reset the ticwatch pro 3 gps? I played around with these adb commands and the normal hart reset via system does not bring the whole system back. I would like to wipe out of a recovery modus ? I played around, because my battery time was incredible: just one day juice ... tried to deinstall the whole tic - system, but something went wrong, from now, I´ve got no sensor activities!
Thanks in advance

There are a lot of issues with the sensors at the moment, including myself after the latest firmware;
Since i am a new user I cannot link to an external site. But:

Pretty happy with mine but my only gripe is I'm not getting notifications for the Messenger app. And searching for the app in play store on the watch comes up with nothing.
Anyone else having the same problem?

I have TWP model 2019 and TWP 3. Activating a watch with Redmi Note 8T is a horror. When successful, the watch does not work as a handsfree. After attempting to make a telephone connection from the watch, the BT pairing is canceled and he must reset both the watch and the phone to reconnect it. Various discussions suggest that this is a common problem. Does anyone know the solution?
Hey every one! So I have a question that I havn't been able to find an answer too. This pertains to at least the two samsung devices that I have. One is the tab 8 sm-t290 and the other is the xcover pro that walmart started giving their employees. So the issue is a delay or lag in the screen tap after the devices come out of the lock screen or after they have sat there for a moment. It's like you wake it up and start taping and a couple of seconds later it will start registering all the taps or in game, I stop for a minute to read dialog and I have to tap couple times to get it going. At first I thought it was just because of the lower grade tablet but then I got the xcover pro from walmart (sposively a $500 phone a year ago) and it has the same issue.
So I assume this is by design? Is there a fix for it or a setting that I'm missing to make it snappier? The only thing I found that helped was after rooting the tablet I played with the governor and set the cpu frequency to max using termux. I installed a version of linage os that didnt have gapps installed and it was lightning fast, but when I installed one with gapps on it, I believe the issue was creeping back but I can't verify that at the moment. This is mostly just annoying and has caused me to quit using the devices in favor of more predictible ones. Any help would be appreciated!
