Is there a way to remove it from the screen? It tends to cover up a lot of watch faces.
Thanks

Something may be wrong. If it's always there, that could possibly run the battery down really fast. Depending on the watchface, the wording doesn't show up. On some of the stock faces, the face lights up, but no words show, which I like lol. But that may be because I am on the gohma rom. LOL.
But before that, the words should disappear within a few seconds. If it doesn't try a few other watchfaces and see if goes away. Does it even show when in dimmed mode? If so you may need to first try rebooting the watch and if that doesn't work, try doing a complete reset of the watch. Unless someone else can chime in. GL
Mine shows then disappeares fairly quickly. But its annoying that it covers up text on some watch faces. Is it watch dependent then?

Yup! When I first got it, it only showed for the first couple screen wakes. I think my watch updated and now it wont go away.

For whatever reason, at random times, the media volume of my phone will just flat out mute. Once mute, I am unable to get it up, even through the sound settings, it'll just go back to mute. My only fix so far is to restart the phone, but it gets really annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and does anybody know why causes it? I did the whole increase volume thing with QPST and made the volume Lv4. I seemed as if everything worked correctly, but I noticed absolutely no change in volume =_=;
First suggestion, get another phone. I had the same problem...

Seriously? You can't automatically discard a phone for a little bug...
It's more than likely from the spiderman game... You might have to uninstall the update in the game until they fix this bug..

I had it happen.. it happened a lot with my g2x... And anytime I ran cm7 I had to reboot... I'm guessing just a faulty media driver or something else as it doesn't happen often.
Try a to download a different media player (music only obviously) from the market
Or just reboot your phone and increase the media volume in the "settings"
Im sure if its a major bug the developer's will find a fix

My slider is perfect, it snaps and takes the right amount of effort to slide. I've had two of these phones because of a part number mixup, had the first one for an entire weekend and both are perfect, good slider, no dust, light leak or dead pixels.

Fix: Go into Sound settings and change the Sound profile to Normal (preferably before launching the game, but works after-the-fact too, if you forget). Mine defaulted to Vibrate, and it seems that this game is programmed to disable sound (only after the splash screen and intro video, go figure) if it detects this or the Silent profile. Now I can hear the game, for a change.

Doesn't sound like a phone problem lol sorry I couldn't resist lol
Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

It just turned on at random. Thinking bout putting it in some other language so no one understands it.
Holding off on factory reset. Until nexus comes out.

I think you have some shady friend who downloaded an app on your phone to make this happen.

Defintiely did not install any app or let anyone install anything on my phone.
Again, it happened while I was playing robo defense, I received a text and it read it out loud while i was playing. It then started to read them no matter what.
Just did a factory reset. Hopefully that fixed it.

Same here!
I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

I remember this happening on my hd2 on winmo. I think voice cmd had accidentally been turned on.

I'm running the default stock Rogers rom.
If you're on the east coast, midnight is coming up. Check it. To test, just have your phone locked and screen off at midnight, and watch it. It doesn't reboot.. just flashes on and off quickly.
It's quite possible there is an app I have installed that is doing this, so tonight I plan on checking it with logcat. I'll report my findings afterward (PST).
You sure its not notifying you something but I would go with the posses idea. I see dead people comes to mind.

doh! i was coding and forgot to plug in and check logcat. tune in tomorrow. sorry.
Its probably some app scheduled to do something at midnight over your wifi.
I know my Captivate used to do the same thing, any time the wifi was used, the screen would turn on briefly (less than a second) and turn off the screen while doing whatever it was doing over the wifi (like Beyondpod when it went to update my podcasts, the screen blinked on/off, then immediately after the screen turned off, it started checking for new episodes and downloading).
So it's either APOD, or it's my system. Those are the only two culprits. I'll uninstall APOD and report back tomorrow.
Dear Community,
i'd like to know if someone uses the Gear Fit as standalone device? Is it possible, or do i have to connect it certain times a day/week with a supported samsung device in order to keep it going? Does the Fit also displays the fitness statistics of several days?
Thanks for your answers,
brgds, zack
You do need to initialize it when you first get it so you would need the fit app at first but technically you could use it by itself afterwards. I feel it has enough options and self tracking to be a stand alone device.

Do you use a Gear Fit? You may have some screenshots of the fitness statistics displayed on the gear? Would be very nice

One last pic. The exercise activity and the pedometer are definitely off by a good bit. For a 2 mile run it says I went 2.2 miles... Hopefully samsung will recode it and make a little less sensitive.

I'm getting rid of my Samsung phone but want to keep the Fit. I just want to use the watch feature as a stand alone. But when I disconnected the fit from my phone, the time went off by a few hours. Is there anyway to adjust the time without the phone?
Today, for the very first time, I got this strange alert on my phone. It even sounded differently when that came in. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or is there any setting on this ROM that allows these alerts to come in.

This is normal. It's part of the FCC's program. It'll send that to all phones on any carrier.

You can turn it off if you want. It's under the messaging settings.
