Galaxy watch active 2 - display flickering - Samsung Galaxy Watch

I have the watch version 44mm aluminium black for a few days now and I've noticed that screen is flickering if AOD is on when watch dimms the screen after 10-15 secs.
It is happening no matter which watch face is set factory or aftermarket. I was trying to fix it by restarting the device and and performed a factory reset but situation is the same.
Does anybody experienced this?

No one? Well, I will return the watch to seller because factory reset do not fix the problem

Check @adfree thread

There are many youtube tutorial video but be careful check your csc region if it's into the firmware first before flashing..

Just got the flickering update (13.66MB) no mention about the GPS fix
Tizen 4.0.0.7 was 4.0.0.6
Software BSJ6 was ASHF

Anyone else noticing with this update that when the watch is in AOD mode (not active) that the notification dot isn't present? It was in the last version but no longer.

Looks to me this "feature" is not unknown to Samsung...
Best Regards

Yeah, Samsung said that this software update fixes screen flickering but mine flickers again no matter I've updated the watch with newest software.

Mi Band 4 could not measure heart rate

I have bought recently a mi band 4 and when I was setting it up I could not measure heart rate and I do not know why.
Does anyone faced this problem and have fixed it?
I already have reinstalled MI FIT from my Redmi Note 6 PRO, reset factory the MB4 and paired with Amazfit app and I got the same result.
I am looking for the ROM to reinstall the firmware of MB4 as well but unfortunately, I could not find any tutorial or link to reinstall the firmware on it. If someone has the ROM and the software to reinstall the firmware I will be glad.

I have the same problem, I opened a support ticket for customer support and I am awaiting a response. I noticed that the sensor does not switch on, the LED remains off.

You might have luck with this manual installation of custom ROM. However I do not know how to return to 100% stock, should you want to apply for your warranty (no idea if the service center would check FW version). https://geekdoing.com/threads/international-firmware-for-mi-band-4.970/

Thank you dude but it doesn't work yet. Sad. I still looking for a solution.
I have a strange heart rate monitoring issue. I can manually check the rate at any time and it works without problem. I have the band set to check every 10 minutes and during sleep too. Once in every 5,6 days, heart rate is not recorded for duration of about 1 hour.
I did factory reset but didn't seem to help. I thought the sensor wasn't clean, so I was periodically but doesn't seem to fix. It's not too loose on my wrist, I see the mark of sensor on my wrist when I take off to ensure it's not loosely fitted. Don't know what's causing this strange behavior.

Is your green LED blinking during HR measurement? If not, ask for a warranty repair/replacement.

Have you tried fastening/loosening the band on your hand or measuring on the underside of the wrist?
Same problem here, I can do it manually by putting the sensor at 1cm from my wrist (as stated I don't remember where)
but it dosen't works automatically to monitor while sleeping for example.

Hi, some days ago just received a brand new Mi band 5 and today i realised that presents the same behavior that you described so i wonder to ask if you found some solution to this problem.
Actually this is the only information about this problem with the mi band HR measurement.

Lock Screen unlocking problem guys, screen is unresponsive for 3 seconds.

after each lock when i turn the screen on with double tap or power button screen is unresponsive for good 3 seconds. This started happening after the latest camera fix update. When if i use aod and use the fingerprint through the aod this doesnt happen. tried reboot and factory reset with fresh install (no backups) tried safe mode. Same thing happens.
S20 plus exynos.
Yup happening to me too (s20+ exynos). For me the time of unresponsiveness is around 1-2 seconds. Happened after the latest update.
Yes, have been facing the same issue since "ATCH" update.
Yeah has been driving me nuts. Same problem.
I'm surprised this isn't gaining more traction? Can't be the only few experiencing this!?
Glad to see it's not only my device. Waiting for fix.
I have similar situation
I'ne noticed the same after the last update.

This. I'm afraid if it goes unnoticed by samsung we may have to face this issue for longer.
BTW any user here with Snapdragon that has this issue. Or is this exynos only ?

There is an app called samsung member where you can send error reports. I have already done it, its currently under review. I suggest everyone affected to do it.

Seems like a pertaining issue for Note 10 Users too. They found a trick and seems it works better now. Can you try this and let me know if it works better?
turn off the battery optimized for apps: com.samsung.android.biometric.
Go to Settings>Apps>Select "Special Access" from three dot menu>Optimise Battery Usage>select All from drop down menu>Search for "com.samsung.android.biometric"> Turn it off and Restart.

Did accordingly as above.
For a moment it felt like the issue is resolved!
But after checking several times I can confirm the issue still exists.

Ofcourse I did. In fact restarted one more time since it didn't resolve after the first restart, post disabling the optimization.

I did this already and while it feels like fingerprint is faster, unfortunately this is a screen issue. You see if the screen is off and i put the finger in the correct spot it always scans my finger without any lag. The issue is occurs when -
a) I have unlocked the phone using above way, then the screen becomes unresponsive right after unlocking.
b) The screen is off and i either press the power button or double tap to wake, then the screen will be unresponsive and its during this time the fingerprint scanner doesn't scan (because the scanner doesn't know it needs to scan since the touch is unresponsive)
so TL;DR its not a FP scanner issue.
I am quiet sure Samsung is already addressing this issue for next update.

They fixed it by removing it. Asus Dev's vocabulary is very limited, it seems.

So far the battery looks okay. There's no issue with the heating but it's been two days so is not reliable data.
Good night.
I would like to know if somebody has an issue with the face unlock in the last update? In the WW9 worked very well but on this last one I noticed that didn't work.

Face unlock is not safe option.
Most Android phones with plain front cameras have non-safe face unlock feature. You can use picture of yourself and it will unlock aswell, that's how unsafe it is.
Only smartphones with proper face unlock are safer that scans for eyes and such.

I installed this update on Monday morning - Tencent WW owner here.
Coming from the previous Android 10 version, I have found the battery life to back to being how it felt with the last of the Android 9 updates.
I have also found my notifications behaving again, previously I found the WhatsApp notification to go missing - however the dot on the icon was still there. But this now appears to be resolved.
Do you have direct unlock option? (When you use face unlock, it does not stay on notifications screen, and goes to home screen directly)
I had this option before this update, and now it is missing?
The device is Tencend Games 512/12 with WW Rom.

I am having sound/media issues. There is no sound in games and videos play like a slideshow. I have tried MX Player and the video plays (no sound) but only when i switch to HW+ mode. All this only happened after this update as i was playing a game perfectly fine with sound and media was working days before when i tried it last but this update has rendered my phone unusable.
Is there a way to downgrade from this update?
PS:- If ANYONE has this problem, you need to set your AudioWizard to 'Normal' as the Custom profile (& with anything else other then Normal for that matter) is causing this problem. Restart and select the Normal profile in the middle of all the freezing and force closing then restart again and you'll be good to go.

Video and audio sync problem using Super Steady

Hi,
I've searched the forum and Google and did not find any information about this issue...
I have an A70 with Android 10 as you can see on the screenshot.
The issue i have is, when i make a video with the stock camera and super steady activated, the sync is messed up, the videio and audios are out of sync...
I've tryed and clear cache and data of the camera app and did not solve the issue. The only way to have a synced video/audio is to deactivate the super steady option...
Do anyone have this issue too?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
No one has this issue on A70?
I just noticed it too. The video is about 1 second late.

This is okay to update? Because before this i have problem with mobile signal 10.0.4.0
I don't know, I haven't tested yet. For now, I can say that the update is small, but it installs for very long almost 30 minutes (updated from version
11.0.4.0).
However, it installed without a problem.
The new version is 11.0.5.0 and May patches.
EDIT:
The LTE signal is stronger.
Camera sound error has been fixed
Screen Lock/Unlock sounds is work now
I haven't noticed other corrections

Same Here, Update Is Gone...
I got the update alright but it is back to the usual 'Installation Failed' nonsense. Uninstalling magisk doesn't make any difference. Haven't had that problem for a long while now - but it's returned to haunt me again. On the positive side though, 11.0.4.0 is working so well for me I don't want to interfere with it.
