Galaxy Wearable Music, SOS, etc randomly run in the background on Galaxy Watch 4 even when I don't use the apps. I stop them from running in the background and lo and behold, they show up just minutes later running in the background again. This was never an issue before this one UI 5/Wear OS4 update. Samsung please, please fix this ASAP.

Galaxy WatchWhat bugs me is the fact that several apps in the Wearable apps App section have "run in the background" toggles in the App Info section of the app configuration. In each case the toggle is a grayed-out, blue, indicating that it is switched on. The problem is that toggle leads you to believe that you could turn it off, but NO, it will not allow you to turn it off. There are 6 to 8 apps that have a toggle like this, and if they are running, they are using memory, storage, and battery. Depending upon how one uses them, they may not need to run in the background.
I'd like to try running them only in the foreground, but I can't because I can't turn background operation off.
Long-winded, but any advice is appreciated.

Galaxy WatchThe biggest complaint about these watches is that the battery life leaves much to be desired. It is certainly not robust, and anything we can do to boost battery power longevity is a big plus. My wife was getting 3 days and 6 hours out of her GW4 44mm running the same configuration as my GW4 Classic. I'm just looking for 2.5 to 3 days with consistency. I used to get 3 days+ out of my GW3 Classic and I was quite happy with that.

Galaxy WatchI found I was able to uninstall Wearable Music from my Watch4. It was running in the background like many others have reported, and consuming battery. Will this cause issues with my watch, anyone know? If I need to reinstall it, is it in the Play Store?

Galaxy WatchI have turned off the media control in the display, but despite this, the little blue note reappears and the media controller is displayed on my watch. This is draining my battery and I can't find anyway to rectify this.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.
