I recognize the behavior, although not as long as a second or two. It's one of the reasons I have AoD ON. In addition, using a watchface without a second hand avoids showing an old time completely.

If I understand you, the watch has a new ID. Have you managed to pair it so it shows in the Samsung Wearable app on your phone? One possibility is that the "new" hardware in the watch contains old software, so the next I would check is for SW updates and if the Bixby app on your watch needs to be updated. (I have had your exact Bixby response when Bixby app needed updates.)

I have a GW (original) and there was a time period where connection to Bixby was unreliable. (I use Bixby a lot to start timers and create reminders.) Because the problems I bought an android watch (Skagen) with 2 buttons and the crown wheel. I didn't like several aspects of the functionality and I felt I had more choices in GW settings, so I switched back. (After some time and updates Bixby works reliably again so I will stick to the GW watch.) I think Tizen updated with Google Assistant would be close to perfect.

I had previously a Sony Xperia Z3c (and now a Google Pixel 4) paired with my GW. I understand that with a Samsung phone the watch synchronizes more data with the phone. Such as Reminders and Alarms. For me these are separated and so are silent modes. Calendar data is automatically transferred from the phone to the watch. The watch can use the information (both native Calendar and Watchmaker watchfaces), but I can't edit on the watch. SMS can be replied to and created from the wath. I can read email content but not edit.

At least on the Galaxy Watch (original), Auto means that it connects to WiFi when the bluetooth connection to the phone is lost. I don't think it waits until the watch needs internet connection.

I assume FRM_BKK has his GW4 working the same way that my original GW (when it works correctly). That is, with the locking set to complete watch and once put on my wrist I unlock once, and it stays unlocked. However, this is my second GW and the first one apparently had more of a problem detecting that it still was on my wrist so it locked now and then. My second GW locks (and turns off AOD) only when it detects sleep (maybe by design I don't know). But if FRM_BKK's GW4 watch stays unlocked and yours does not, my conclusion is that your watch is faulty.

I don't know what you mean by "connecting via Bluetooth and not via the Wearable app". I have a Google Pixel 4 connected to a Galaxy Watch. I connect it in the Wearable app using Bluetooth. There is no other way! (I think that a Samsung phone would make the watch more integrated by synchronizing alarms and such but I wouldn't want that.) Perhaps the Gear S is not as compatible as the GW.

If you mean a rudimentary route map displayed on your watch, scroll down below the logged statistics. You need to have GPS ("location") on the watch enabled and check that the GPS icon turned from blinking to steady green before you start running. Open the "workouts" widget without selecting "running" to let GPS acquire your position before you click on the specific workout to start it. If the watch does not have internet connection during the run, you can open the map display later, when it has connection, and it will download to show your route overlaid on the street map. (This 'graphic' can be saved to the watch Gallery by a screenshot command, and from there copied to your phone.) (Note: I don't know a way to get the digital route data to your phone.)

I can both record and share my location by the send SMS function in my Galaxy Watch: * Open a contact, either to my own mobile (to get a record) or to someone else to share my location. * Choose Text and tap on the 3 dots. * Select My location (or similar). This will create and send a text message with a "Here" link. The link contains the GPS coordinates in readable form, and clicking the link brings up a map (and possibly address). Another way to store (pictures) of the GPS coordinates is to take screenshots on the watch when using (any) GPS location app on the watch. The screenshot is stored in the watch Gallery (and can be sent to mobile). (I use the app "GPS Reading" which gives also the altitude (selectable in feet or meters.) Note: Using the SMS method you should be able to extract the coordinates in text form and calculate the distance your self. (I haven't checked what resolution you get.)

Search for "watch 20mm spring bar". Add "quick release" if that is what you want.

To search for watch apps, use the Wearable app on your phone tp open Galaxy Store. Click the 3 line menu at the top to get to the Search icon. After searching for e.g. "calc" it for some reason anyway shows watch faces so you need to switch "tab" to show applications.

It's the "Turn on screen". I don't have that selected. Try disable that and turn on the screen manually (button or gesture) right after you get the buzz. There is a time window of a few seconds to have the content show (without swiping).

I don't know if this has changed for your watch, but my GW has always behaved like you describe, IF I don't activate the screen within 2 seconds after the buzz and yellow dot. There is a setting in the wearable app, besides the "show with details" that enables the watch to show the notification without the activation gesture. Maybe you had that ticked before, and now you don't? I don't have the automatic display enabled. If I react to the buzz and yellow dot, it shows the text. If I ignore it I can swipe (or on the GW use the bezel) and bring it up (as long as the yellow dot shows).

I'm a bit unclear on your description of if the content is showing in the notification on your phone or not but if not, I would think it have to be shown in the phone notification in order to be replicated on the watch. One thing I have found out after watch reset and restore of settings from the backup is that it takes a good while (many minutes) for the installed apps and widget tweaks to show up, so letting it finalize gets most of my personalization back in order.

Can you see the content in the notification on your phone? Do you get the content of text messages to your watch? I have a Google phone, and I haven't checked what happens if I disable but I remember a settings to show the notifications with details on the lock screen and it might have something to do with your problem.

Check the settings in the wearable app under notifications (more or similar) that showing notifications including details is enabled. I also use a non-standard email app on my phone and the email text is shown in the notification. (I use PIN lock so the watch also has to be unlocked to show content.)

Yes. Add a Contacts widget (or several). In each widget you can link to up to 4 individual contacts that you can call or text.

Your description sounds like Bixby ready for a command. (It is the new Bixby user interface.) I have switched off "Voice wake up" in the Bixby app. Instead I activate Bixby with the short cut. (Don't know if it's the same on GW3 but on my GW is double press on Home/On button.)

Good that you found a work-around. Samsung needs to fix this GWA2 (and perhaps GWA) keyboard limitation.

The GW Bluetooth version also have several pages of the keyboard to choose from. Maybe someone else with GWA2 can confirm your findings? (The selected keyboard on my GW is "Samsung Standard" and it's the only option. Maybe check if there are alternatives to download or change language to english UK or update language to see if that makes a difference.)

Yes, as first page. GW can not swipe to other pages, but turning becel 1 click clockwise shows a keyboard with only numbers. One more click brings sub page 1 of 5 subpages with many special characters (# _ etc). Do you have those pages available in other text input modes (like SMS, search in Contacs etc)?

Does your electronic becel work for other things? Your page is similar to my first page. Turning becel 1 click shows a keyboard with only numbers. One more click brings sub page 1 to 5 with many special characters. I didn't think the functionality in GA2 was that much reduced.

On my Galaxy Watch I can switch to the special characters keyboard (by rotating bezel 3 klicks). Are you saying that GA2 doesn't alow you to do that on the WiFi input screen or is the problem that you can input the characters but it won't work with # or _ etc?

Just so you don't have missed it; With predictive text active you are supposed to just tap once on each "key combination" and after a few characters you get a proposed word and a list of words to choose from. (Not always succesful of course but depends on what you are writing.)

To delete several pictures, it saves some tapping if you first mark the ones to delete. This is done by either a long press on a picture or, from the overview page in Gallery, tap on the 3 dots. From my menory (at least in earlier firmwares) the "Factory Reset" is not a real factory reset in that it doesn't delete the pictures. (It only restores the 3 default graphic files that I always remove. This is on my Galaxy Watch first gen.)

For (1) I assume that WA2 has similar options as the GW so look under Settings/Advanced on the watch and see if disabling the various wake up options would work better for you. (Thinking of waking up by screen touch and perhaps there is also a setting for "rotating" the electronic bezel, and so on. If you switch them all off it doesn't wake up unless you press a button.

If the sw on the watch isn't updated, that is what is needed. And new Bixy sw in 3 different versions needs to be installed (for the "new Bixby"). I got prompted for all these Bixby updates after updating the firmware in a new Galaxy Watch, that had been sitting in the store for awhile.

It's not "Reboot" you wan't, but a Reset. Either do it from watch Settings menu or from the phone Gallaxy Wearables app
