weather widget? - Samsung Galaxy Watch

I can see the weather information from the app. is there a separate widget and not an app shortcut?

Yes, go to "Add a widget" and select "Weather"

Thanks, did not see that widget due to too many Samsung health widgets, initially.

Yeah there's loads of those. Just have to persevere

True, which is what i did. Now if the Always on display actually worked correctly...

It works as designed, but I think it needs a redesign

Always on display still times out after 5 minutes. It should stay on until the watch runs out of power or i turn the option off.

"Always On Display" is the dimmed / alternative face (depending on which face you're using) that comes on after your normal screen has timed out.

Hmm i did not interpret it that way. Thanks.

It's the same on wear OS.
Not exactly what I'd want, I'd like to see a true always on, but oh well

I did notice that on Wear OS. Any chance Samsung will provide a true Always On display?

There are certain watch faces that can show the whole watch after dim.
But amoled screen has issue with burn in. So not recommended

Yes indeed there are. I make mine like that. And if it's white face, I find they go too dim you can't even tell the time so I've started making inverted colours for dim mode. Whole face, but opposite colours. Problem is though that dim is still, well, dim. If you wanted to show off your beautiful face you spent hours scripting on, you can't unless you don't use wrist gesture

Lock Screen Time out

I tried looking to see if the lock screen time out could be extended. For me it's too soon
Anybody know a work around for this
Thanks

I've noticed that my phone stays on a little longer at the lock-screen with the occasional icon at the top popping up (it looks like some sort of eye? There's a setting called "Smart stay" in the Display settings, so I assume this is what I am experiencing?
edit:
Guess that doesn't really help much, but it does extend it for quite a while if you can keep eye contact with whatever is tracking your eye motions? XD

Thanks but I don't like smart stay. I used the app called " Screebl", it's way better plus it works on staying on based on the angles your phone is at. I like to read news and sports so I want the screen to stay on until I'm done. Screebl allows you to adjust to the lowest time out setting, but it seems the lock screen shorter than 15 sec. The lock screen time out doesn't seem to be tied to the system timeout

That's pretty neat! Now that you mention it though, I too was unable to keep my screen on longer than around that same time o3o can't imagine why I would need the lockscreen to stay on, but I hope you find a solution d:

Screen off memo

Hi, every time I write a screen off memo it will not show on the AOD screen. Instead will go directly into a icon. If I tap twice the icon will appear for a brief time and then go back as icon.
The time it will stay on the screen will not be combined with the date/time.
Anyone has the same? Is it a problem of the settings or csc?

Yes, same here - direct to icon. I saw review videos where the screen off memo actually remains on the display along with the always-on screen. I tried every combination (i think) of always-on display and lockscreen notification settings, but never found a way to get it to stay.
On those same videos, by the way, the main settings screen looked very much like the one of the Note 5 and not at all like Grace UX, which is what i have. So i wonder if there are different software versions out there with some serious differences.
Maybe csc related ? mine is XSG.

If you go into the always on display settings and then about it should show you an update is available. After this is downloaded it is now working correctly.
Not sure why this did not ship on the phone or they make the update more obvious.

I didn't get an update prompt, but this helped me. I opened galaxy apps and looked for updates there. sure enough, there was, and installing it fixed it. All good now!

Android P Ambient Display Question

Anyone know what this line is for on the ambient display for android p?
https://www.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/nexus2cee_ambient-display-p.png
I'm thinking it may be where weather would go if you have that feature set up. I don't. Wondering if there's a way to remove it.
Thanks!

I assumed it was just a separator between the phone's info (time, date, etc) and the notifications? I guess you need to find someone who has the weather enabled (I don't) to see if it's still there. I'm guessing it is.

No it isn't, it's where the weather should be. Unfortunately it requires a clean wipe to fix.

This comment says you don't need to:
"Uninstalled Google updates (disable then enable the Google app from phone settings) => restart => update Google app => restart and Voilaaaa the weather in the lock screen [emoji2][emoji2]
N.B.: I have a Pixel 2 XL and got the Android P through OTA if that matters."

The line is a seperator on ambient display, the pics in the link you quoted are the lockscreen, not ambient display.
the weather on ambient display appears to the right of the date just as it does on homescreen.
remember ambient display is an all black screen.
And yes, it also does appear on the lockscreen, in the same format: date - weather
Seems some people have it, others dont.
I had it yesterday, but its gone today.

Yep it is a separator to split out notifications from the standard Ambient Display info.
Thanks for the info on getting the weather to display. Good stuff! :good:
When I fixed the weather thing I just removed the Google update then put it right back. No reboot was required for me.

Thanks for this. I do have F set there, which means on the homescreen I have the correct temperature, but on the lockscreen it's in C. Odd.

ohh, that is very odd.
I didn't need to wipe the phone to fix the missing weather on the lock screen. Go into apps and disable Google. That reverts it to an older version. Reenable and give it a little bit and it will be there.

Although it's less of a problem, because this morning it has disappeared altogether. Still, never mind. I'll just look out of the window.
I actually never got it to work even though I tried the "fix" I quoted. And further along in the comments, it looks like it disappears for everyone.

I reported mine worked last night after disabling Google then re-enabling it. This morning it is gone again.

If anything, I'm happy that the battery percentage is now on the AOD. That's more helpful to me.

[APP] Pixel Pulse for ambient display

Introducing Pixel Pulse - a simple app to make your Ambient Display pulse when you have notifications!
Choose the interval and select the apps you want you to cause your screen to wake.
Optional paid features let you select different icons and colors for specific apps but the interval and app filter core functionality is all free.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.compass.pixelpulse
If you had previously purchased Ambi-Turner, it has been updated for the new permissions, but because it was written for 8.0 and when Google's ambient display worked differently I decided to leave it as it is. You may however transfer your purchase status of Ambient Display to Pixel Pulse using both apps.

Paid customization adds the ability to always pulse (with a view that shows you that you have no important notifications), and the ability to select icons and colors for specific applications.
Screenshots are difficult because you can't screenshot the ambient display. I'll need to try and take actual photographs.
Seems like the settings don't save. Just updated the app and everything is set to pulse even though I removed some stuff :S

This is awesome. But is there a way you can maybe make the icon only pulse and be custom colors? Without showing the actual notification text? That would be amazing! But bought the paid one and I am using it now looks good on the wireless charger. :good:

I must be doing something wrong. This doesn't seem to do anything when I receive a notification with the screen off and having AOD on or off. I have the time turned down to 10 second but nothing even pulses.

The update somewhat fixed the timing issue but it still is off by 5 seconds. When setting the internal to 20 seconds it pulses after 15 seconds.
Edit: It seems that the timer starts when the notification pops up not when the notification disappears. Is this the way it is intended to work?

Annoying start animation

Hi,
Very satisfied with my new phone, but ...
Each time I open an app it starts with very hard color taken from the icon of the app. Since the color is very hard, it is annoying. I disabled the animations, but stilll, the color is there. I have changed the icons of the apps to a less bright color, but this is not the right solution, I think. Any suggestions? Thanks, Natasa
Are you talking about these icons which show when we start an app?

Yes could be that
But i can reach 4 more lines from top contact
Still prefer to see whole screen with logs
Before one ui my favorite phone app was on samsung phones becouse the ability to strat from where you close it
Only samsung does it
You can push on the screen upwards and it will vanish.
