Is your weather card this big? - LG G Watch

When my weather card is partially on the screen with the watch face it takes up half the screen. In all the G watch images I see the card looking like the first image which does not show the city. How do I make the card smaller and not show the city name?

G-Watch has smaller resolution than other wear watch. G-Watch is 280x280 and other 320x320. So when card use 30% of the screen it has more info on other Watch. 280x30%= 84pixels height and 320x30%=96 pixels height.

The image of the smaller card is on a G watch and if you look at both of them mine shows the city name which is the only reason its larger.

OK, it is just a different API face in wear 5 wich change the card management.
I have a picture of my G-Watch with "Tweening" face in wear 4.4 and just take other picture in Wear 5 with same face.

So its just the OS version that changed it... thanks for testing that.

Do you use some sort of watch face replacement like WatchMaker?
If yes, that's your problem. There's an option in the watch face you use to have big cards or normal cards. Check that.

Hmm... that's very interesting. I don't know, maybe there's some sort of setting in the Android Wear app? I never had this problem.

Yes, newer face with API 5 can have a setup for card normal or big.

But isn't the smaller size super small? Its like one line of text. I like seeing driving directions and music without having to swipe down on the watch. So I'm torn between watch faces to use.

[Q] Larger contact picture on dialer

Hi I've noticed that some contacts have a large contact picture that fills up the top half of the screen but others will only display a smaller picture in the middle.
Is there a way to get all my contacts to display a larger image on the default call screen?
Contacts are synced using Haxsync so all of them have HQ photos.
Thanks in advance.

hi all
have the same q
I noticed that if I add a picture to a contact directly from the device, the image appears at full screen in the dialer but if the image coming from Google a small square appears
How can I change the setting that all images Will display at all the screen?

I believe that this is because the contact picture is converted to a low resolution when backed up to Google, even though the original is high resolution. That's why the picture is small when you restore from Google.
It is true, same happened for me. When pictures got downloaded from google at first, they were small, then synced with facebook and they are full size.

I'm using stock Xperia for Facebook app, it just synced like that. But you need to have contacts with exact same name. When I had Galaxy S3 with AOSP I used app named SyncMe which worked very well after turning off bell and whistles like in call UI and such. I can recommend it.

Other apps that you would be willing to pay for

if they would make games for this i would pay for one or two :good:
a more refined calculator would be good too
food/diet apps (that should be accurate with calories, etc.)
a spending tracker app

A good keyboard and a system for answering msgs (or, why not, other apps such as whatsapp) would be VERY appreciated too.
I would pay also for something like flipboard (of course with a different and smarter layout).

Yep, I forgot Appy geek xD
And again Yep, i use my gear fit with my note 3 and it would be great to have the possibility to write down something (msgs, whatsapp, other stuffs) without getting the note out from the backpack, especially while u are walking or moving in general.
Technically it would be feasible using the layout of the old physical keyboards of cell phones (3letters per key) to bypass the problem of the screen dimension.

Clock with Weather and Step count
I'd be willing to pay $10 for a watch face that shows Time/Date, Weather (the same way it shows it on the pre-loaded wallpaper), and Steps (again, same way it shows it on default wallpaper).
I have my watch oriented vertically and I don't really care for the large amount of space that the time takes up on the watch face. I'd love to have the screen divided into thirds with each third containing some useful information.
A keyboard basic. Sometimes thé phone is in the table. I have à baby in my arms sleeping. I can Not take the phone. But i have à gear fit in my hand. But i can Not answer a Good Answer...
I wish to get Sleep as Android to work with gear fit, but the developer said the API does not allow access to the accelerometer.
Gear Fit Fake Call
I think Gear Fit Fake call it useful app you'll pay for it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ehz.inc.gearfitfakecall
I would like to see an app, what give more time to notifications (SMS's, e-mails, FB etc.) or just lock it to screen like calendar alarms do. 1 - 2 sec. screen showing time is too short.

Two apps I'd like to see
There are two apps I'd pay for.
1) An alarm function. This could be set up from the phone or the Gear Fit,
It could be set from the phone or the device, but it would be really nice to
have it vibrate at a preset so I could wake up or remember an appointment.
2) I like the idea of including the weather and steps in a V-clock, but I
want those with both an analog and digital clock together than looks something
like the attached png.

Everyday watch face - more frequent time updates

For catching bus every day, I needed better than minute resolution without the need to twist my wrist - and this is an watch face I came up with: Everyday.
The current version updates the time even in ambient mode every 20 seconds and it doesn't seem to have almost any noticeable effect on my battery. I usually end up with 65% when returning home from work and it is the same with this watch face.
So far the face is tailored a lot to my taste and preferences (black and white, 24 hour mode, date format etc) and it's not configurable. I might continue to experiment with more frequent updates.
Am I the only one who needs seconds in ambient?
Perfect! Thank you! :good:
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Using it with Sony Smartwatch 3.
Does not work
I get an error messsage: "Error: null" when trying to select background picture. How can I transfer the app from my phone to android smartwatch?
If anyone cares, here's the new successor watch face "Just Time" (for Android Wear 2.0+) I created. "Everyday Watch Face" will no longer be updated. Most of the functionality is there plus it handles complications (up to 2 long texts). Native wallpaper support was replaced with support for large background complications. One missing feature is support for custom fonts (TTF). There are also no configurable colors. Let me know if it's something you'd want to use.
It's still free, available from Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brouken.wear.face.justtime

I'm afraid I can't include it directly in the watch face as Product Sans license doesn't allow that. I count it as a request towards custom TTF.

How are are you cropping your screenshots?

coming from the Note I used the S-pen to crop my screenshots which I used almost every day. The cropping software would always form a perfect box around the image you wanted to isolate. With the LG we get the very cool dedicated button for screen shots. How do you crop the picture so that the lines are perfectly straight around the borders and not the free hand type lines?

The stock Google Photos app allows for cropping with straight lines. I open the photo on Gallery, hit the pencil icon and get asked which app I want to use to edit it.
I've also used Snapseed and that has the same cropping capabilities.
This bothered me too. I save the whole screen shot to my gallery and then go into the gallery pic, tap the screen, tap the 3 dots on the top right and then tap crop. The Samsung way is definitely better and I hope LG implements that method.
With V10, you can use Capture+. You can select the portion you want to capture before saving or sharing it.
yes but when using Capture±
how do you crop it there with straight lines? when I click on crop button it only allows you to draw around the screen shot with curved lines. having to save it to a second app is fine for once but not ideal if you use screen shots a lot like I do. t
speaking about screenshots, does anyone else get a line at the very top of the screen, only in screenshots? I'm rooted w/xposed, gravity box/g4 tweaksbox and xstana. is this a phone issue, or something I've done? I seem to remember the change log for the 5.1.1 patch included something to do with this

Messages app - change font size?

Using the Samsung Messages app on my Verizon S9+, I am unable to permanently change the font size in the actual conversation screen. Yes, you can pinch to shrink and expand font size but that gets reset to standard size every time (unlike on the S7 Edge where it remembered your size preference).
Through Settings, you can globally adjust font size but the only Messages screen this affects is the main Conversation screen which shows all conversations. Once you click on a conversation, normal font size is presented. Frustrating for my old eyes...
UPDATE: Ironically, when you adjust Font Size in Settings, if you swipe the sample screen above the sliders, it shows you a sample Messages screen and the font size does change in the sample, but it does NOT change in the actual Messages app. Sounds like a bug to me as they are depicting what I want to do, just doesn't work.
I'd like to use the stock app as it has some features that are unique. There must be a way to change the font size so the setting is persistent, no?
Seeing the same also. Hard for my aging eyes to see.
And also finding it doesn't follow the global setting for size. Same as you.
Same issue. I don't think you can change the font size just for the Message app.
I when back to my beloved and trusted Textra SMS app.
It changes when you change the font size in display settings font.

As I mentioned in my post, this is not true. On my phone, changing the font size in display setting ONLY affects font size in the main Conversations view. Once you click on an actual conversation, the font size returns to the default tiny size.
You can get a newer version on apkmirror.com but it wont allow updating samsung apps for some reson. Anyone have the latest version of messages signed by samsung that will install?
They need ro bring back the S8 messaging app which has this inbuilt feature to adjust text. Wonder, why they ripped off that useful feature.

Hopefully Samsung will acknowledge this bug and release a new version of the app. Clearly the global Font Size Setting is supposed to do exactly this.
Same thing. Very frustrating

It's really not that hard to pinch zoom. Takes a half second. Sure, it'd be nice if it would stick but, c'mon man.
I had a problem with the Background colors in the Messaging ap - some of the themes I like to use are really awesome but when I get to the messaging ap, they used yellow fonts on a white background - nearly impossible to read. I either have to use a different messaging ap entirely (Mood is a pretty good one I found that has TONS of customization options) or just guess at what was written - or change themes.
It's dissapointing that I can't change the balloons or fonts in the messaging ap any more - would be nice if we could - and change font size too - so for now, I am using the MOOD messaging ap and while I prefer the Samsung Stock one better - Mood isn't bad at all.
Its not only internal Messages app, Viber and Hangouts has really small font in input line. Tried increasing font size, tried toying with DPI settings. No idea why its like that and only affecting text input lines, but hope some later update could fix that?
Hi Everyone..I just got the 9 plus and the messaging app is different than it used to be. It is just blue bubbles with white background. It wont let me change anything like before and the setting the background wallpaper for messages is no longer there....is that how everyone else's is?
I also switched to Textra for the all of the customization that it offers. It's a free download so I gave it a try and I've stuck with it since. Just my 2¢

No, not "come on man". It should work as designed, and has worked since GSI-II.
I use Chomp. Let's you change all of the fonts and sizes, including the message notification pop-up.

I think you mean, "It should work the way I want it to work." It IS working as designed. It's just that you don't like the new design.
That's not to say that I don't agree that it would be better if we could choose a persistent font size. I do.
But we're talking about a split-second pinch out to increase the size.
A split-second.
So, yeah... C'mon.

Thousands of people having to take a split-second to adjust for a design bug every single time? No. You're missing the point.
