Watch Face Galaxy

Suggest that they go to Settings on the Watch then scroll down to Apps and open that, Scroll down to permissions and open that then scroll down to your watch face and make sure the permissions are set.
If nothing works from above, I would suggest you contact Facer Support by emailing them at: facer-...@little-labs.com They will want you to include the watch brand and model number, the operating system version plus the Facer app version you have. Also include a detailed explanation of the issue you are having so they can investigate what might be going on.
Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or something more analog and traditional, there's a watch face for you. Samsung smart watches allow you to customize your watch faces to suit your style. They can be changed directly from your wrist or with the Galaxy Wearable app.
If you want to change up the look of your watch, selecting a new watch face is a quick and easy way to do it. You can download new watch faces using the Galaxy Wearable app, or directly from the watch itself if you have a Galaxy Watch4, Watch5, or Watch6 series device.
Open the Galaxy Wearable app on the connected phone, and then tap Watch faces. Swipe through the options to find one you like, and then tap it. To download or buy additional watch faces, tap the options under Get more watch faces at the bottom of the screen.
Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active: From the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone, tap the Watch faces tab to see included watch faces. To download or buy new ones, tap the Discover tab, and then tap View more on the Watch faces card. From here, you can browse for watch faces.
Note: The watch face on the Galaxy Fit and Fit2 cannot be customized. Third-party watch faces may have different customization options and instructions. Refer to the watch face's developer for more information.
Yes, I designed the watch face myself. It seems that I have AOD. It differs from normal mode and I see it when my watch in idle mode (or after 20 seconds of showing digital clock, when an app or a notification is opened). There is an active button to toggle always-on state and an option to remove this state in Galaxy Watch Studio (2.0.0 beta) Maybe I need to check some settings or edit some flag in xml, because this watch was created two years ago and something could be obsolete.
So it appears that there is nothing wrong with your watch face that you can fix. The software version is slightly different in the Galaxy Watch3. Again, my apology for not quite getting it the first time.
I am not sure a software version update will fix it since my Active2 and Watch3 both have the same software version and OneUI version. It is the watch variant that is the only difference. So it might never be changed.
@marcus, the watch face freezes and will not wake up from dark mode, advance time, battery life or temperature on my specific face. I have to load another watch face that came with the watch and it works fine. If I switch back the Facer Face, it freezes again after some time.
I have a samsung galaxy 42mm & since I have started using Facer, the time keeps freezing. I am having to reboot the watch 4-5 times a day to kick start it again - is there a known bug & will this be fixed??
Hi guys - Thanks again for your patience, this issue is fixed in the latest release and available on the Galaxy store. Here is a link to the announcement post: Facer Tizen 5.1.3 is now available on the Galaxy Apps store
At first I thought it might be a new face causing issues, but the same occurs with all synced Facer watch faces.
They behave fine for several hours then just freeze (functionality and time), even after changing the Facer watch face. The only way to reset them is to choose a Samsung native watch face (i.e. closing the Facer app/watchface) and then re-choose the Facer watchface.
@Facer_Official - I have a user reporting the same, that the time is not updated after coming out of DIM mode and laggy upon waking up. It sounds like they are NOT using AOD and the screen sleeps. The watch is reported to be an S3 frontier like the other reports. It may be a tizen bug. I will ask the user for the facer version on both the phone and watch to ensure there is not a mismatch and report back. I will also test on my S3, I use the AOD and do not have the watch wake, but will test.
Same issue on TicWatch Pro 3 Ultra. When it goes to sleep the time ocasionally freeze. Today freezed on this watch face : B Sharp Watches - B# - Top Drawer - watch face for Apple Watch, Samsung Gear S3, Huawei Watch, and more - Facer
and drain battery about half. AOD is off.
Open Galaxy Store App on your phone
upper right hand corner tap on 3 dots (note if you have updates you will see a number over the dots)
tap on My Page
tap on All
find the app you want to open and tap on it
tap on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner
select Share
send it to yourself in email
it will send the app ID
I should have mentioned that App chooser does have a drawback too. That is you have to educate the user how to use it.
For Map My Run you can add a note in your content description saying it is required and pug a deeplink to its page.
Ok, I know this is an OLD post but i will inject some newer info for anyone stuck on APP_ID for watchface studio buttons. VERY SIMPLE , what your looking for is not the appid but its the package name. the best way to find this is go to playstore and download the Package names app . open it and you will see the apps that are installed on your phone. for example samsung notes will have a package name of com.samsung.android.app.notes this is what you will place in the appid section of your button. hope this helps all who are stuck.
Hi, I am new to Watch Face Studio. As in the first message I would like to create a custom button. followed the instructions shown above for calculator inserting in the WFS AP ID com.samsung.android.wear.calculator and it worked. I assumed the same for contacts that is I could substitute calculator and insert contacts, but that did not connect. Can someone please forward instructions on how to obtain AP ID in simple language. I am looking for the AP ID for contacts, gallery and other items. Thank you.
My new Galaxy Watch (42mm) isn't showing the weather info correctly on the default watch face. It doesn't show any info or temperature. When I click the weather icon on the default face it keeps saying I should set a location, even though I've done this (I have location tracking turned off). The weather app and widget work just fine and show the weather info for my town so I'd expect the weather thingy on the watch face to use the same data. But apparently it doesn't, or can't access it?
Thanks for your reply! I did some further testing and figured it out. Apparently you have to set your "current location" in the Weather app and have the location services of your phone turned on. Then it does show the weather info on the watch face. I figured it wouldn't need this since the Weather widget doesn't either, but it seems like the watch face thingy only uses the current location instead of preset locations.
My watch did the same thing. It was stuck on a town I was nowhere near. I fixed it by going to the home screen on my phone, then go to Settings, Connections, Location (may be at the bottom of the screen) , and turning it on (mine was off). It took about a minute for the watch to start displaying local weather. There are selections to improve accuracy: Wi-Fi scanning and Bluetooth scanning. I have both turned on for the time being to see how it affects battery life.
Watch Face Studio is a graphic authoring tool that enables you to create watch faces for the Wear OS smartwatch ecosystem. This includes watches like the Galaxy Watch4, which runs Wear OS Powered by Samsung. It offers a simple and intuitive way to add images and components, and to configure the watch movement. You can also test the watch face on a connected device.
Watch Face Studio version 1.4.13 or higher supports Watch Face Format designed for Wear OS. You can build watch faces that run on the Galaxy Watch and other watch devices, with Wear OS targeting API level 30 and higher.
This latest video from someone else seems to fix the problems fully, although it did not work for me on my Samsung Watch 5 Pro. There are some changes that one needs to make to allow the watch face to work correctly, which this video addresses:
This watch face shows the local time for all the planets in the solar system, namely Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and even controversial planetoid Pluto. It also includes our own moon. Furthermore, Galaxy Time shows the real-time positions of each and their distance relative to Earth.
Yep. It looks like the clock face is sticking out of the monkey's bum. While the picture actually shows the monkey from the side, at a glance it's not clear if the two closer legs are the chimp's right ones, or rear ones - maybe the ape is faced away from us and looking over its shoulder.
As soon as I saw the monkey-bum-watch-face, I couldn't unsee the monkey-bum-watch-face. I did a studious survey of everyone in the TechRadar offices, and the consensus was 'yes, that's a monkey-bum-watch-face'.
I don't mind the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4's monkey-bum-watch-face. In fact, I've become somewhat fascinated with the monkey-bum-watch-face. This chimp seems so brazen, so happy, to shake its baboonty like that - even though they clearly misunderstood what a 'howler monkey' is.
