Does anyone have troubles with watch faces that feature weather while using facer? I have tried multiple faces that change the background based on current weather and multiple times throughout the day the weather is set to a default setting and things like temp show the codes in facer. It eventually fixes itself after a few minutes or sometimes hours.
Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it? This is the current face I'm using if that makes a difference
I see the same thing. Setting the Weather update to 15 minute intervals may have helped a little but it is hard to say.
That actually seems to have helped a lot so far. I haven't noticed the issue yet today.

Ever since I've been using this phone I've seen the time on the clock constantly fall behind the real time. It's set to update with the network time, but I can regularly see it throughout the day being off by 2-5 minutes, with sometimes up to 10-20 minutes behind. It seems to update with the network periodically, which brings the time back in sync, but within a few hours it starts falling behind again.
I figured the clock skew may be due to eugene's CPU Sleep App, but I haven't seen anyone specifically complaining about that issue.
I'm running DietICS 7.20.12 on an AT&T GS3, I didn't spend much time on the stock rom, so a hardware issue isn't entirely ruled out. I've done searching across the forum for clock/time skew issues like this and have turned up nothing so far. This is the system time that is having issues as it shows in the top bar, on widgets, on the lock screen, and in the shell (date command).
Anyone seen this before or have any ideas of things to try?
Stock ROM doesn't seem to have this problem, so I'd look into the ROM you have loaded.

Are you using an app or something that disconnects data when the screen is off? I'm not sure if that would cause it, but it seems logical, no data = no time sync.

If I can't come up with anything I'll try this, I just haven't seen anyone having issues with the time on DietICS

Nope, data is on all the time.
For those who are interested, it appears this was somehow due to having network time enabled. Previous phones I've had have been able to use network time without issue, but for some reason this just can't keep the time in sync. I've disabled network time and set it manually and haven't seen anything more than maybe a minute at most.
Since the 1.4 update my watch seems to lag displaying the watch face. It seems to happen more on certain stock faces than others.
I don't use always on mode so normally I would tilt my wrist and the normal face would show straight away. Now I've updated to 1.4 when I tilt my wrist the watch shows the ambient face for a second then the normal face.
I've tried unpairing the watch which now performs a factory restore as of 1.4 but this hasn't resolved the problem.
Has anyone else noticed this? I can get around the lag by having always on mode enabled but I don't know how this effects battery life.
Thanks all.

I use always on in combination with SWApp Dark app to reduce brightness of ambient screen and getting 2 days out of battery for my usage.
Not a solution to your problem, though.
Yep, same here. It like wakes up in Ambient mode for about 1 to 2 seconds from time to time. Not always and I notice it a mix on some faces more than others.
My daily driver face does not do it but my secondary does it all the time.
This issue is happening to Moto 360 Gen 1 and 2 watches as well. Loads of people are experiencing it, hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
Hi everyone, i am using Zooper widget since last 6 years, but now i am facing updating issues from last 1 and half years, Time has always giving wrong information.. for example its 9:00 AM but the widget is showing 8:59 or a bit less minute..
This is not a issue with my device, i have changed 3-4 devices in last 1 and half years, i always keep uncheck Zooper in my built-in task managers or battery savers modes, tried 100 type modifications in system's date and time settings but no luck at all
Kindly someone help me to resolve this issue, as Zooper is my ever best widget and i wanna use it more then more, but now i am facing this so irritating problem...
Hi,
I find that widgets have become a mess after the Oreo update. I use two news apps (BBC and Guardian) with widgets. Both of them have issues with their widgets now.... The widgets do not update and sometimes they hang completely and I must remove them and place them back on the screen to allow them to work again.
I have noticed that even the pre-installed weather widget stops updating after a while....
Does anybody else see this problem?
Hi there,
This may be related to Oreo force closing background apps for saving battery. You may check Battery settings for those two apps. If it is set as Managed Automatically, try to make them Managed Manually. It should be in Settings > Apps and Notifications > Apps > (your app) > Battery.
Bests
I tried to manage their background activities manually and enabled all three permissions but it doesn't make any difference.
Also, the weather widget is not in the list so there is nothing to do about that.
The problem is intermittent and sometimes it takes several days to show up, which makes me think it is indeed related to some battery management algorithms but I can't find a way to solve the problem.
I never saw this behaviour during the year I used the phone on Android 7.0.
On an unrelated note I also find that the Wi-Fi connection drops more frequently if the signal is low, particularly when the phone is in stand-by. Again, I had never seen this behaviour before the Oreo update...
I'm tempted to replace my Fossil Collider Hr with a Watch GT2 but have a few questions which I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere (including in the user manual). Appreciate it if any owners can help me out and answer my queries (for reference I'm an iOS user in case it makes a different to any answers):
1 - Can it show all phone notifications or only "approved apps" (like the Fossil)? Does notification support differ on iOS vs Android?
2 - Does the standby watch face only show the time or can it also show other things like date, step count, battery. 2nd time zone?
3 - With the latest firmware updates does the standby watch face still disable raise to wake? Do notifications still appear if you have standby watch face set?
4 - Can anyone give me an idea of what battery life they get with the standby watch face enabled (and is this with or without GPS tracking and real time or smart heart rate tracking)?
5 - Does the screen brightness on standby watch face adjust for ambient light (i.e. brighter outdoors, dimmer indoors or in a dark room at night). Is it distracting in the cinema or sleeping at night?
6 - I think from what I've read that the watch gives an onscreen notification if it gets disconnected - can anyone confirm if this is the case? This is a feature i loved on my Garmin Vivomove and really miss on the Fossil Collider
7 - How quickly does the watch time update when the time on the phone changes? The Fossil is instant whereas the Garmin Vivomove could take up to 30 mins unless I manually synced it
8 - Can you set scheduled Do Not disturb Hours on the watch (e.g. at night)?
9 - I understand I can't use the built in play music function on iOS but do I get music controls to play/pause/skip whatever I'm playing on the phone?
10 - Do most watch faces offer the 2nd time zone function or is this limited to just a few watch faces?
Appreciate this is a lot of questions but I just can't find the answer to these anywhere else! Many thanks

1. On Android I can confirm it shows what you select and you can select all apps from you're phone. I can't confirm on iOS
2. Standby faces show only time for now and can't modify them or install new ones. Only in future updates maybe
3. Yes. No, you need to manually unlock it to see notifications. Only vibrate.
4. I had standby wf enabled once for a cycle of around 5-6 days. I do not find it useful as it cannot turf off at night by itself in bed (it seems). Without always on wf, with all others enabled stress, hr, etc , I get around 10 days
5.yes and yes, it's distracting for me even at minimum brightness ). But that is me
6. Yes you get notified but will not remain in the notifications list from the watch. You see it when it vibrates or you miss it . After unlock, a notification is visible by default directly on screen for 5 sec I guess from the time you receive it
7. I have no clue on this one. On Garmin I know it is connected to the gps and I think it is getting time from there not phone
8. Yes hours yes but not on week days.
9. No clue. I always had only androids
10. Limited to some of them. Good part is that we have a really good community posting alot of wf daily and also creating them on request . Even cloning some known Sam ones
I had the watch from December and must say it is pretty close to the perfect watch for me after changing and still owning to many of them.
Some minuses I noticed that bugged me compared to others, first one is the most important:
1. Vibration is really faded, the worst vibrations on any watch that I ever owned but I can live with it
2. Notifications don't have icons for all apps. Ex. Skype has the same icon as many others and it is hard to see the app that notifies at first glance
3. Adding custom watch faces is not that easy and kind of hit and miss at the moment if you don't have a rooted Android phone. On iOS at the moment it is impossible to send custom wf to the watch.
4. Support. China always gets the best, they even have a payed watch face store for gt2.... The rest gets some new watch faces at around 2 weeks... Not really a problem if you can send custom wf to the watch. Just today in around 3 telegram groups o saw around 40 new wf's....
Done with this wall of text and hope it helps you. Conclusion , defenetlly I would by this watch again even after this many months. To convince you I can tell you that I currently own 4 garmins, 1 Moto, 1 Samsung, 1 amazfit and some other sport bracelets, with gt2 being may main one even comparted to my amazfit gtr
Awesome - thanks for taking the time @mauk to answer all my questions!
Bit disappointed with the standby watch faces being so gimped (why no raise to wake or notifications) but I'm still tempted.
Looks like raise to wake is the way to go - are you happy with the "hit rate"/accuracy of raise to wake or do you often find yourself tapping the screen/shaking your arm to activate the watch?
Yep, no issue to wake when raising and sleep when lowering the arm. Hit rate is pretty good for me. Ah and yes, it has no tap to wake, only button pushing
Seems to me that mine will raise to wake when the standby face on if I immediately do so after a notification vibration comes in. Say the standby face is on and I'm walking, if it vibrates a notification and I immediately pull my arm up to look it'll show it to me. I also noticed when I sleep or take my watch off the standby face will eventually go dark (which I like)
I actually tried the standby face because I get annoyed that the watch constantly wakes up on the slightest movement, especially when driving.
I do wish I could read messages more than a couple of lines and the icons for WHAT notified matched the app (does have the gmail icon). I don't care about responding to messages. One thing I got that I wasn't expecting was the ability to control my phones music. Reviews I read said you couldn't, only the watches locally stored music but there must have been an update.
