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.
Hi,
I have been searching in the forum without luck. Is there any face for the Pace where you can see if you have notifications?
Many can be configured to show date/HR/steps/etc but why not a notification counter or icon?
Thanks

There's a limited number of things you can display, built into the watch.
Notifications isn't one of the things you can display on and therefore isn't possible. It would require a change on the watch software.
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
Hi there, i can i disable the animation when i press button on amazfit bip?
Searched google because I also want to disable it, this was the first result, so BUMP!
Someone on 4pda changed the animation on their mod, so it is possible to remove it too I guess.
I got my 47mm GTR yesterday and I was expecting to be able to see notification icons on the watchface like I would do on my phone AOD, quickly check on my watch if i had any messages or missed calls then reach out to my phone if I would.
However, there is no option or watchface showing this. Do you know any app that would allow this?
So can you see a notification icon on the homescreen watchface ... or do you need to dig into menus to check if you missed any notifications?
Same here... just an ugly "APP" icon...
