[Q] Is there a way to create "always on" clock faces?? - Samsung Gear S

I'm trying to figure out how to change or create "always on" clock faces, you know the black and white ones that stay on indefenitely. It seems only 2 or 3 of the stock faces that come preloaded have a decent "always on" analog watchface. Don't see a way to change in watch styler, or any other watch face for that matter. I'll attach a picture of what I'm referring to on the next post. People seem to be confused about what I'm talking about.

this is the black and white always on watchface from the stock blue Samsung watch face.

If you go to Settings>Display>Wake-Up Screen and change it to Last Screen and you have it set to wake up with "gestures", the last screen will appear when the watch wakes. If you make sure the last screen is always the watch face, it will always wake with the watch face instead of the power saving "basic" watch face.
By the way, how did you set that watch face to come on? Haven't seen that one. I only get digital clocks when the watch wakes (unless I have it set the way I talk about above).

Just set clock to always on. You don't have to wake it with any gestures to see it. The monochrome dial is always on. When you wake it up with gesture it shows the dial in color (but with all the mini sub-dials not showing). The full display shows when you touch the screen or the home button.
So to sum up, for the first 3 watch faces there are 3 different looking states.
1- Always on - monochrome (pictured above)
2- Gesture wake - color, no sub dials
3- Fully on with sub dials.

'Curved Panoramic Light' doesn't work properly

Hi everyone ,
I've got the chinese Find X 256Gb (PAHM00) and there are issues with the 'curved panoramic light'.
If somebody is calling me, the screen lights up, showing the number and the 'curved panoramic light' lights up too.
But the main problems are the messages and notifications. If my phone lays down for a while (standby) and i recieve a message, the screen lights up showing the message on a banner and turns off after a few seconds, no 'curved panoramic light'. I tried several different settings/options, but there are always only two results: 1. as mentioned above, 2. the screen stays black and the phone just rings, no 'curved panoramic light'.
One time, the phone was in my pocket and i recieved a message, I immediately pulled it out, the screen was black and the 'curved panoramic light' lit up, but only two times. I can't reproduce this.
What's wrong with my phone? I even did a factory-reset, but without positive results.
Does anybody have the same problems or a solution?
Thanks.
@Oppo-newbie
Settings --> Smart & Convenient --> Gesture & Motion --> Turn off "Screen-off Gestures"
This option is already turned off. The 'Raise to Turn On Screen' is off too.

Panoramic ligth does work here, but only 2 times. I believe that's normal. So don't expect it to keep flashing, it's just 2 times and that's it.. (Probably would kill the battery if it kept flashing.
No, Oppo says: 'When someone is calling or there are new notifications that just came in, the curved edges will light up, continuously.' ( I can't put in the Oppo link ) . On the website, they also say, that the curved light doesn't work if 'Turn On Screen Notifications' is enabled and I think that this is my problem, but I don't have this setting in my menu.
Same question i want to ask.
Any idea how to keep the light flashing until i read the message?
hope they fix Light Options...
I’ve only ever seen 2x for notifications and infinite for calls. I think you’re experiencing the feature exactly as designed
Same here. Could you fix it? I mean, if this is how it's supposed to work , it's pointless.

As for now, this feature is ridiculous. I couldn't find a solution. Hopping Oppo will fix it with an update.
By the way: can anyone tell, if it is the same for the 'global' version?
The Edge panoramic light is working like i had hoped it would. I receive the same problem as well. If anyone know which exact method to have the settings too, that would help greatly as I'm about to loose my mind with this phone and its mysterious operational system.

are you saying if you have lock screen magazine on it will work more effectively, please clarify thanks .
Mine works completely fine. Have global version CPH1871EX.
I have the screen clock on standby active and also the lockscreen magazine.
Also please check if the Turn on Screen for Notifications in set to OFF in the Notifications & Status Bar settings. Might be the reason why your display switches on instead of showcasing the panaromic notification light. BTW the notification light comes only twice over the edges and not more.
Here, I got it working after hours of try and error. Actually, it was a theme issue for me. First of all I turned off "Turn on screen for notifications" option in "Notification and statusbar" menu. This is what I did next:
0. Set lockscreen from the default theme
1. Turn on Lockscreen Magazine
2. Click on a like button, read a story
3. Turn off Lockscreen Magazine
4. Open Themes -> me -> my wallpapers
5. Set any wallpaper as lockscreen one

LG V30 always on display and KnockON features in low light don't work

Hello,
I'm experiencing a weird problem with my LG V30 H930 and I was wondering what could be the solution, if anyone has ever experienced that as well?
Yesterday I received a new LG V30 phone and that day I found something very disturbing. The "always on display" function does not work when it's too dark in the environment or when I cover the light sensor. This also results in:
- "double tap to wake" function does not work when it is too dark
- holding finger against the screen results in turning off display instead of entering options for changing wallpaper, adding widgets and settings. Additionally when I turn off the screen in this way, I need to press the button on the back of the phone twice, which is also a fingerprint reader and at the right time. If I do it too slowly, i.e. press the button once, wait a bit and then the second time, the screen will not turn on. I have to press it twice and relatively quickly
All of this does not happen when it is bright in the environment.
The phone's never been rooted, there is no custom firmware loaded on it, I've tried many times going back to factory settings.

Why are you covering the light sensor if you want the AOD on?
You are basically replicating a flip case cover or flipping a phone over on the desk. Of course the AOD will turn off under those circumstances. There's nothing wrong with your phone.
With your display on, just quickly press your finger on the fingerprint sensor to display lock the phone and you will see AOD. Well you also have need the "power key instantly locks" option turned on. But I assume you have that on already.
Of course the AOD works in a dark environment. But in this instance, you are covering the light sensor -- which tells the phone you must have it in a flip cover case or flipped over. When you open the case or flip the phone back on, the AOD comes back on. In your fake way, you must be doing something wrong.
Stop covering the light sensor.

I understand your logic, but it is a very weird feature then, not to be able to change wallpaper directly from the home screen, when it is dark in the room or not to be able to turn on the phone double-tapping the screen, which is turned off. Is it perfectly normal as well?

You can change wallpaper and double tap the screen, but go to AOD mode in a NORMAL way. I told you how. Just turn off the display with the fingerprint sensor. AOD. Double tap, display back on.

(Verge - Watch Faces) (VergeIT projects)

I writing to users which creating watch faces fro Amazfit Verge in VergeIT web site. I checked and tried all watch faces from this site and some i like it very much, but there is no perfect things in the world, so i want to ask you, who created these watch faces or know these guys, maybe can to fix issues which have these watch faces or to edit some problems which is in these watch faces. Watch faces for Verge is downloaded from VergeIT.it web site. This is no mine and i added these watch faces here only to show which i want that to be fixed and changed.
1. OranGiulyDigit - this watch face is almost perfect, but is blue ball which running like seconds around in screen (sometime showing it when hand wrist up (lifting)). Can you remove it? If is possible will be great to change colour from orange to dark blue or similar to dark blue. Watch face is in this web site - http://www.vergeit.it/#/apk (scroll to down web site). By the way is steps, heart rate, battery widget, but will be good if someone add weather widget too. By the way all watch faces have the same problem. Verge watch have "turn off light screen" mode (Lock screen section). When is activated this mode must show in black screen only time widget/clock. That how is in original Amazfit watch faces. These all watch faces just a little bit dim and showing the same widget and clock as without this mode. Please change that. The same was in GreatAp GreatFit watch face and GreatApo changed that, he add option to turn off widget which i don't want to see. So please do the same with all others watch faces from VergeIT. Even with these watch faces which i added here like example here and to show which i liked and ect.
2. SRSteflogo - this watch faces is the best probably from all which are in VergeIT or others web site which probably know most users here. Then what's wrong? First at all need to change language from Italic to English (week's days name is in Italic language, need to change to English), second will be great to change colour from blue to dark blue or similar to it, which is Verge blue watch colour. All others things is good. By the way please remove VergeIT logo at all, looks weird and if say honest silly. Why need it at all? Coz others stealing yours watch faces? But you do the same, i saw myself one was stolen from other creator, also another in other web site stolen this watch face, coz you stolen from him his watch face (he wrote that). So please stop fighting and do watch faces without these logo. Watch Face is in VergeIT.it web site. By the way this watch face also is named as "SRDigital White"
3. LCDBWDigitlibverge or SR BW Digital everything si fine with him jus diming and widget problem which is in all watch faces created from VergeIT - need to remove all widget when is activated "low light screen" mode in Verge watch. Of course more information (widget) in screen will be great like weather, heart rate and ect. Coz right now is showing only steps and battery status.
4. ReversSrlibverge or SR_Revers is the same as others just diming problem when is activated "low light screen" mode (clock in black background must to show only)
Looks like that's all. Thanks in advance which will edit and will fix these watch faces mentioned problems, issues and ect. I'm very thankful for that. And please edited watch faces upload here. Thanks.

Question Lockscreen is broken on my main profile

I've been documenting my struggles with my lock screen in another thread. But I just had a major breakthrough and didn't want this to get buried.
To recap, my lockscreen has been a buggy mess from day one. The fingerprint sensor barely works, the fingerprint icon randomly disappears, and the gray border that's supposed to appear around the fingerprint icon simply doesn't show up. The lockscreen doesn't light up when I pick up the phone either (it stays dimmed). Also, wallpapers don't show up on the lock screen, and the big ugly clock sometimes disappears or moves itself to the top-left.
I've tried just about everything to fix this. As a last-ditch effort, I added a new user profile only to find that the lockscreen works perfectly well for this new profile (but still not for my main one).
Here's my main profile with the unusable lockscreen:
broken lockscreen of main profile
Watch "broken lockscreen of main profile" on Streamable.
streamable.com
And here's what it looks like when using the other profile:
working lockscreen on new profile
Watch "working lockscreen on new profile" on Streamable.
streamable.com
So there's clearly some obscure bug that most people aren't experiencing here. I'd love to just figure it out so I can move on.
When I didn't have the "always on display" turned on, the phone was very consistant about turning on properly when I picked it up. I ran it this way for 3-4 days without any issues.
After reading some articles on the P6, I realized that it has an AOD and that it was turned off. So I turned the AOD on while leaving all the other settings set the same. At first, the finger print icon wouldn't appear consistantly, but that is because I had adjusted the animation scale settings in the Developer settings. Changing that back to stock fixed the issue with the finger print icon not showing up.
That beings said, I have experienced the same "unresponsive" screen many times over the last couple of days that I have had the AOD turned on. The screen stays dimmed (or even turned off if I pull the phone out of my pocket) and the finger print reader is inactive (even though the icon is displayed). The screen is suppose to turn on when I lift the phone up, but it doesn't always do it. When this happens, I have to either manually turn the screen on using the power button, or double tap the screen to wake it. This is clearly a bug in the system somewhere. I probably need to report it to Google, but hopefully it is fixed soon.
After spending way too long on this, I've determined that the bug occurs consistently with these specific settings (although it may also occur for similar ones):
Lock after screen timeout: 30 minutes (or anything high enough to prevent it from locking between tests)
Power button instantly locks: disabled
Lift to check phone: disabled
Tap to check phone: disabled
Always show time and info: enabled
Replication steps:
1) Enter the above settings
2) Press the Power button to go to the lockscreen
3) Set your phone down for a couple seconds
4) Pick your phone back up and try to use the fingerprint sensor
Result: The fingerprint sensor won't work the first time.
I think all the other issues I had were actually stemming from this one issue.
