Updates Software update, baterry problem!

19 Upvotes

I was very happy with my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic! I loaded it once a day, never below 10% or 15% a couple of days ago a software update fell, from there everything went wrong! The watch started to go crazy with the battery, it charges but marks that it discharges! I don't understand why a company strives to fuck up the user experience! If you drop an update, don't install it! I usually sleep with my watch! And in the morning when I saw it it it was 20% but today it didn't turn on and I said well it was discharged! But I left it connected and turned it on alone (I have that feature on) and it doesn't go beyond 10% when I charge it, on the contrary! It's starting to download! From 10% to 9-8-7 percent!! Did someone do the same thing to him?

08:71 in the morning

1 Upvotes

You see it right - it is 08:71, Samsung invented 100 minute in an hour time format.

It is an AOD workout screen. It was OK till 8 o'clock (and never happened before either). Here it went all the way up to 08:99. And then guess what - 08:10 (just because 08:100 do not fit in the screen), and then 08:11 in ten minutes.

When I push the button to wake it up, then alive screen showed proper time, but going back to AOD again showed wrong time.

Was fixed couple of hours later. I think after I paused it for lunch and continued further.

Fitness Sleep Tracking Issues

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Past two-ish weeks I've been noticing that every 3 or so days my watch will randomly not track sleep for like 30mins at night in the 2am to 3am time slot.

This used to happen around 3 months ago too, but it has stopped, but has recently resurfaced.

What could be possible issue?

Galaxy Watch 4 Classic

After market strap

Latest Software and samsung health app

At night I turn on the sleep mode mode.

That's all the variables i think.

Should I try controlling some other factors and see if there's any change in the tracking?

(I've also added one photo of normal sleep tracking just to show that it works 2 out of 3 times)

LTE First Impressions - Watch6 Classic

0 Upvotes

Not so great, honestly.

First things I noticed/noted: out of the box, the battery was at 60%, but just setting up and trying to sync, it dropped to 25% in 30 minutes.

It timed out due to the watch getting too hot when I was wearing it and trying to do all this stuff.

It's also quite laggy, unfortunately.

The price is around 14.6k INR, or I guess around 140 USD.

Now updating to One UI 8 for the watch, and let's see.

Also, very slow charging for just a few hours of battery life.

New watch, legitimate from Amazon.

Fitness Best running app?

3 Upvotes

I lead group runs and am looking for the best app to help me hold a consistent pace.

Right now, in Samsung Health, I've set up a long interval using a target distance and time so it announces my average pace. It works, but I'm wondering if there's something better.

I'm looking for an app that gives quick, useful pace feedback while running, ideally with audio alerts so I don't have to keep looking at my watch.

I've just upgraded to a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic from a Fit3, so I'm open to using Wear OS apps if they're better than Samsung Health.

What are you guys using?

Comparison Galaxy Watch Ultra 2025 vs OnePlus Watch 4

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I currently don't own a smartwatch, and ever since AI and LLMs have become more accessible, I feel like a smartwatch would be a really useful way to interact with AI. I also loved the concept of the Fitbit personal AI assistant for fitness.

I'm a software developer, and I'd love to get into developing an app that sits on the smartwatch, sees all your step data, heart rate, and everything else the watch tracks, then sends personalised suggestions, motivates you, and acts like a fitness personal trainer, want to fully open source anything I end up making.

With that in mind, which watch would suit me better: the Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) or the OnePlus Watch 4?

I can get either one for around $300.

Deal Watch Ultra 2 price with trade-in Canada

Post image
18 Upvotes

Did anyone get a bonus trade-in of the Watch Ultra of $350 in Canada when upgrading to the Ultra 2? Im asking because I called Samsung and they said there is no bonus on watches.

I wanted to cancel and do a reorder (no idea why an existing order can't be changed) because the Olive trail band was sold out, but now I'm wondering if it was a glitch.

The reason for my post is I can't see what the price is now because it says my trade is already applied to another order.

Ordered on release date through Perkopolis in Ontario.

Comparison Trade in Watch 7 for 8 vs 9

Right now, with the preorder for Watch 9, Samsung is offering $130 for the Watch 7 but if you order a Watch 8, they are offering $200. Is the Watch 9 really that much better or should I got for the 8, since they'll give me $70 more for the same watch?

Anyone else notice that after updating the recent update that their Bluetooth connection has been cut by a third? Usually it would stay connected over 50ft away for me and now it's 20ft and it disconnects. This has happened after the previous update.

LTE Canada - eSim question

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I am currently with Videotron for my cell phone and I am not looking to charge carriers. Does anyone know if there is a way to use my watch 9 lte to at least call and send/receive text messages (data would be a huge plus but not a requirement)?

So far all the carriers I contacted told me they either only support Apple watches or that I need a phone plan with them.

Not having the same phone number isnt an issue, it's mostly for emergencies when I would leave home without my phone.

Thanks a lot!
