I have a cheap 7" tablet that I'd like to setup as a kitchen display. This is how I imagine using it:
1) At 6AM, tablet wakes up display, turn off display at 9AM.
2) AM: display traffic map, similar to the Inrix app.
3) AM: display weather for today
4) At 5PM: tablet wakes up display
5) PM: display weather data for next few days
You get the idea. I want some control over when the display wakes up. I'd also like it to perhaps switch apps like a demo unit - for example, show the weather on the display for 5 seconds, then switch to the traffic map for 30 seconds, then switch back to weather.
I've consider using just the desktop, and simply squeeze a weather widget and a google maps traffic widget in the same screen. But, I'd like the solution to be more extensible. So, later if I decide to display another piece of info, I can just time share the screen.
I think I can use Tasker to turn the display on/off at set times. But, I don't know of a way to make the tablet rotate between two or three different apps.
I might also use the tablet as a recipe book. So, I'd like the weather/traffic display feature to kick in automatically when the tablet stops being used.
Hi,
I am trying to port my Gear 2 watchfaces to Gear S. With some design issues, finally I have a working copy on my Gear S.
But unfortunately (!) , on Gear S, there is a clockface state. According to the design guide, it can either be;
- active state clock
or
- always-on state clock
As my Gear 2 watchfaces don't have this state, when the watch wakes up from blank screen, it shows a simple digital watch instead of my fancy watchface. I couldn't find any information on how to make my watchface always-on. (or creating a always-on state version of my watchface)
Where can I find this information ? Any ideas ?
thx.
Go to Settings>Display>Wake-Up Screen. Set to "Last Screen". This will wake the watch to whatever screen you were on last. If you make sure you always go to your home screen when you're done, the watch will always wake to that screen instead of the simple watch screen.
When I use Endomondo and the screen on the Gear S becomes black or I move the arm to wake up the display, then it is not Endomondo on the watch screen, but the normal clock.
Is it possible to setup Endomondo to always be display on the watch's screen when I exercise ?
You can configure the watch to display the last app running instead of the current clock, but i don't think you can set a program to be default (didn't see any option regarding that).
For what you want you could try this :
1. change the setting : on the watch go to "Settings->Display->Wake-up Screen" and change it to "Last Screen" instead of "Clock".
2. start Endomondo (or whatever app you need) and when you want to see the app just move the watch (or press the button) and you'll see the app instead of the clock.
Hi all,
I just got my Stratos and got a few questions wich I can't find here...
Running latest 2.3.7.
- I receive all my notifications double on my watch, no matter if it's Gmail, Outlook, Linkedin, Whatsapp etc etc. I only have the Amazfit app installed, nothing more.
- I there a way to adjust date format to EU standard (dd-mm-yyyy)?
- How can I add other sports/activities? I made one in the app but it doesn't show up in the watch. I want to track my Hiit training sessions like Les Mills Gritt (on fitbit yuo can use kickboxing or aerobis for this).
- I want to use the watch to control my music on my phone/tablet. Sometimes the music controller shows up in the watchface after swiping up but sometimes not and nitifications show up. How to call it in front?
- Every few seconds the watchface seems locked and I have to press middle button and after that upper before I can swipe the screen. Can you make this more easy?
- On my Garmin and Fitbit if I receive a notification I can see it directly on my watch without pressing buttons. How do I do that with the Stratos? Do I realy need to enter notification menu?
But most annoying for now is the double notification. Hope that someone can explain this to me...
edit: I just notice that the double notification is not exactly the same. If I get an email first notification is the email wich I can tap top open and read the whole email. 2nd notification is only a message with the subject which I can't open further.
edit2: seems like I receive 1 notification with that are emails. and a 2nd one with the email itself. Just recievd 4 mails in 5 seconds. Watch says: 1st notification you have got 4 outlook message. Then I have 4 extra notifications with those email messages.
Maybe it's because of Novalauncher/Teslaunread/Android one on my phone.
- Dateformat is not changeable in WFZ watchfaces, you have to search for an App WF
- No you can't create your own activities.
- music, no clue, don't use it.
- That is the reason why the watch has such a long battery live, if it goes into standby mode the screen is off.
- If you want a Garmin functionality, stay with garmin. This is how it works on the Stratos
Install watch Droid. Use that for all your notifications and to control music on the phone.

In the Amazfit app you can make an sport. Howcome you can't import it to the watch, whats the use of that function then.
It's a sports watch but gym activities like weight lifting or cardio are not included.
My fitbit also uses the standby modus, but aftre flicking the wrist (like the stratos) it comes to live and unlocks itself. No need to push buttons.
I just wanted to try something different the Garmin and Fitbit and this one looked stylish for daily wear.
I hope I can sort the notifications out. That and sports are the mean reason I use a smart sport watch.

Just installed it.
Is there an easy way to get in the notifications from watch droid?
I get around a notification every minute (busy job...)
You could install quick launcher so that you have easy access to watch Droid from the watch screen, but it interferes with custom keyboards if you're using those.
Alternately the paid version of watch Droid allows a notification to also be created within the watch notifications, which you can click to open the larger notification in watch droid

Thanks for the tip, I'm gonna try that out...
I also am a sportinstructor and wanted to use the watch to start/stop the music on my ipad while teaching the class.
That mostly work (can't find out when it does and when it doesn't) but it's not working when I track the excersice in sport on the watch. Then you can't control the music.
Is there any way to control the music (on Ipad) when you are inside a sport activity?
Also I'm still missing a way to track my Hiit training sport activity. In some video's etc I see aerobics as an activity. That one I can use. But it's not in my stratos.
Haven't figured how to change music on the phone during an activity unfortunately.
Stratos doesn't have an option to track HIIT. Some people have reported using elliptical to track gym workouts, but I've not tried that
Is there such a thing? I'm looking preferably for a watch face creator app (one that DOESN'T need to run constantly as an extra app, but creates a standalone watch face), alternatively a decent digital watch face, that has a larger complication window than most (the generic small circle or oval) seem to have. Reason being, I use Wearable Widgets, but the text just gets too small in the tiny circle window.
