The customization is part of the individual watchface design. Perhaps you have a similar but not the same watchface. I have a GW but i think a GWA2 should be similar. If the watchface has choises you can select between those on your watch as well after a long press on the watchface.

Had that happen a few times several years ago. Since then I make sure that the watch plugin and Samsung accessories on the phone are allowed to keep running. I.e. marked as Not Optimized in the battery manager. Don't know if that also relates to memory manager. Don't remember exactly but I think the installation procedure asked (recommended) to activate this setting when I installed on my new phone a while back. Anyway, it has not happened since. (I had first a Sony mobile and now a Google.) Maybe check your settings and worth a try. Perhaps someone here has detailed knowledge about it?

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.

Perhaps a work-around could be to use repeating alarms instead. I use several each day (and for each I can select between vibration or sound or both. Alams can't be named, though. Or perhaps a daily alarm can remind you to mark completed reminders. (I use repeating reminders also, but not each day so I haven't noticed the problem.)

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?

Update to my problem report about Bixby: The update (late in December) seems to have corrected the upstart problems. The Bixby (2.107.12) has responded every time, works faster and has a clearer user interface.

Here are the options I know about to let someone else read the time: * First turn the watch to here direction and wake it by pressing a button. (When pressing a button, the user setting for the time-out is used, as long as the wrist doesn't turn. This time out is not used by the gesture wake-up, and can be 10 to 300 seconds.) * Use AOD (so the time can be read without the need to be "awake". * Deactivating wake-up gesture also disables the "wrist turn off", so a button press always is needed and it stays awake for the set time-out period. * Use a "Watchmaker" watchface. (Make our own or use a pre-made) and change the time-out in the Watchmaker settings to other than the default setting. In this mode the watch stays awake, also when using the wake-up gesture, for the set time-out period (can be set up from 15 to 60 seconds. (Altough, I find it to be a drawback, that it doesn't turn off by an "anti gesture".)

It seems that your watch is not functioning correctly. At least the Galaxy Watch models should sense when you take it off your wrist but until you do (or fall asleep) the PIN shall not be required again. The same sensing function is used for the Always-On-Display (if you would use that) to keep the display ON but turn the display OFF when you take the watch OFF your wrist. It seems that your watch does not detect that it is on your wrist. To clarify the security lock. Using Samsung Pay, requires PIN usage but only for that function. Locking all watch functionality with the PIN is optional, and selectable in the security settings. I have the PIN active for all functionality but mine shows the time (the active watch face) even if I don't unlock it with the PIN.

My watch requires PIN input again if I take it off the wrist. The watch locks and requires PIN input if the watch thinks I'm sleeping. You can select in Settings/Security if all usage of the watch or only Samsung Pay shall require PIN input.

Just one comment on the notifications. You enable or disable notifications in the Samsung Wearable app on the phone. The apps listed are the apps on the phone so you don't need the app on the watch to get notifications. I have used Galaxy Watch with Sony and Google phones so I don't have specifics for your phone. Maybe you need another message app on your phone to be compatible with the wearable app? See if you can send a text message if you tap the text icon in the Contacts app on your watch.

Assuming your watch works the same as ours, the time-out setting applies only when you wake it by physical buttons but not the wake up gesture. (If you need a bit longer time-out after a gesture, a work-around is to use a "Watchmaker" watch face. Those support a fixed gesture time-out up to 60 seconds. The setting is on the watch so doesn't need the phone app to switch back and forth from default behaviour.)

Just so that you know; Using "Watchmaker" app you can make your own watch face that shows both the watch and phone battery percentages (plus calendar appointments etc). (I have set it to also change colour when below a certain value, so I dont miss it, and can take actions before the phone alerts me.) Watchmaker is not free but makes my watch behave as I want it.

Some additional info is that my Google Pixel 4 can pass text messages and MMS (also including picture) in the notification so that the complete message can be viewed in my Galaxy Watch. I have enabled in the phone notifications that the details are included in the notification. On the watch I can then respond with either the prepared quick responses or write a response. To initiate a new SMS to someone in my contacts I open the Contacts app and select Text Message (icon). Previous messages are also visible in that function (maybe not forever, I don't know). I have only the preinstalled message app on the phone.

WiFi in the watch connects only to internet, but can get notifications from the phone through your Samsung account. It's called Remote Connection. So if you haven't activated Remote Connection in the Wearable app, that is probably the reason.

Mine usually works when I try again after a minute. Is yours the same? I also noted that (2 GW watches each connected to a different (one Sony, one Google) mobile phone, both started to work the first time I activated Bixby after rebooting (both watches and phones) . I'm starting to think that Bixby, after some On time, experiences a delayed response (though I have marked wearable app, Watch plugin, and Samsung Accessory Service to not be "battery optimised". Perhaps there is some "service" it needs that goes to sleep and the new Bixby use a too short time out? (Altough the "new Bixby" is slower than it was when it actually worked two years ago.) Samsung please fix.

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.)

Another work-around (not needing a button press) would be to use a Watchmaker face and in Watchmaker on the watch change the timeout after a "wrist wakeup" to 60 seconds (15, 30, 45 or 60). Then it always stays active the set time after a wake up gesture. (A difference to the standard behaviour is that a "reversed gesture" does not switch to AOD. It stays ON the set time, so I don't know what the impact on battery life would be.)

You can easily design your own " analog 24 hr face" with Watchmaker. (I guess your watch would truly be "one of a kind" ...)

It helps me to visualize on the watch my calendar events for the whole day (and using always on display) . I made my own design (using Watchmaker) but it's the same idea as Samsungs "My Day" and this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shu.gear.calwatchanalog&hl=en&gl=US (I haven't used this, just got inspired of it. Watchmaker has access to the coming 4 calendar events.)

No other app needed. IIRC you can scroll down to the map right after the finish. (Otherwise, it is available in the Health app log, I think for a week (?) before deleted.)
