[Samsung Gear S2] DeanBNE:
Maybe the sensor on the back doesnt work properly on a wrist that is hairy, so the screen turns off. This was the case with my Fitbit. I had to shave the area.

Remember the watch was designed in Asia. They aren't the furriest ppl
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
That might contribute to the issue but i don't think that's quite the same thing. The problem is that even when the watch is securely attached and in contact with the wrist, at some point the watch will inevitably raise up off the wrist. Once the sensor loses contact with the wrist the screen shuts off. Samsung would need to change this behaviour for this function to work as many expected.

If you have a larger issue though and the sensor doesn't sense your wrist even when it makes proper contact, well then yes shaving wrists might be the way to go :)
[Samsung Gear S2] DeanBNE:
I'm quite sure I've pinned the problem. Even when wearing the watch if it's been idle for 30 minutes, the screen will go blank. I've been able to repeat this over and over and it's right on the 30 minute mark

---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

Oh and, I had the watch replaced for this issue. The same thing is happening. It's VERY disappointing :(
[Samsung Gear S2] DeanBNE:
FINALLY spoke with a Samsung rep who knew his stuff. He told me the G series are designed to go blank with the screen always on enabled to conserve battery power
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
Hmmm... so, did he say there is a plan to change the way it works?

and is there any workaround?

Thanks,
[Samsung Gear S2] DeanBNE:
Sadly, he had no suggestion. He said he was sending a suggestion to Samsung for a future firmware update :(

Going by his info, I've returned the S2 and have the much cheaper S on order.
[Samsung Gear S2] rudison:
Chime

I had the same issue. "Always on mode" without wake up gesture.

(In the beginning I used the wake up gesture. Gear S2 wakes up if I move my wrist to read the current time and immediately goes into ambient mode if I move my wrist back. That was ok. But if I use the bezel / touch the screen and make a little movement with my wrist then the screen sometimes goes into ambient mode immediately and doesn't stay on for the defined 30 seconds! That made me crazy. So I finally disabled the wake up gesture.)

Problem: If the Gear S2 is on the wrist and there are no notifications then the screen turn off after exactly 30 minutes.

First approach: I used tasker to create a dummy notification every 30 minutes (Notify without sound, so there is no vibration on the Gear S2). I automatically deleted the notification 20 seconds later. That was ok, but it doesn't work if there is no bluetooth and no wifi connection.

Second approach: optimummind suggested in the General thread to use the app HR Monitor by appyhapps.nl. Most of the time it worked, but sometimes it failed for me to keep the screen alive.

Third approach: appyhapps.nl has another app called Chime in the Samsung Store (not free). That was exactly what I was looking for: simply activating the screen every 30 minutes. And it works very well for several weeks now. (There is a companion app in the Google Play Store but that is not necessary).

My Gear S2 setting:

Always on

Screen timeout 30s

Wake up gesture off

My Chime settings:

clock strikes every half hour

screen on when the clock strikes

no vibration

audio on each full hour + audio on each half hour (Gear S2 Classic has no speaker, but without this setting the screen is not always activated)

do not disturb between 01:00:00 and 07:00:00 (screen is also activated while the Gear S2 is charged.)
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
This is a very useful tip.. thanks for that

one question, did you try it without (screen on when the clock strikes)?

Thanks,
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
did any one try to put a sticker back to cover the sensor? .. do you think it may help?

Thanks,
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
I tried. It didn't work.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
I'm trying out Chime right now with HR Monitor turned off. I'll report back after a few days to see if it works for me as well.
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
I tried Chime... again the screen went black..

changed the settings to be every quarter... again screen went blank.

I was using a custom watch face.. changed it now to one of the original watches faces. and checking.
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
I also noticed that the screen is not getting activated every 30 mins... don't know where the fault is..
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
with the original watch face ... the screen gets activated in 30 mins... looks like the problem was with the custom face..
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
it even works now even with the custom face.

looks like it was hanging... thanks alot for the tip... my friend... it works ;)
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Tried Chime for one day & it's not working for me. I was using a custom watchface. Back to HR Monitor for me.
[Samsung Gear S2] a_k_gano:
restart your watch and your phone... on the chime app, press start after using the settings mentioned in the thread... it doesnt work from the first time.... press start again, till you feel the watch vibrating... then it should work.

this is what happened with me
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Tried what you said & it still didn't work. It was using the 30 min cycle. Tried again with 15 min cycle & it's working so far.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Update. The Chime app worked to keep my screen on all day until it entered the Do Not Disturb time period (starting at 4 PM). Once it enters DND, the screen turns off after a while.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
For me, Chime stops working when the watch is on the charger, which is fine with me.

I found the setup I like. Chime strikes every 15 minutes & a silent mp3 file plays whenever Chime strikes so I'm not disturbed by any sounds when at work.
[Samsung Gear S2] rudison:
That's interesting. My ambient screen timeout is always exactly 30 minutes (Gear S2 tight at the wrist, no notifications, without touching the screen or the bezel). Checked with different watchfaces and different settings.

Which Gear S2 version do you have? Sport, Classic, G3? (I expect it's the G3 version because you're using a silent mp3 file)

My Gear S2: Classic, SM-R732, Software R732XXU2BOL6
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Yes, 3G version.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Chime has been working excellently so far keeping my screen on in always-on mode. This is a better solution than the HR Monitor app.

With that said, however, 3 things will undo the always-on screen.

1. When the watch enters the DND time interval, the screen will go blank.

2. When I make any changes inside the Chime Google Store app & don't hit Start on the watch app right after, then the screen will turn blank.

3. After putting the watch on the charger & wearing it on the wrist, the Start button has to be clicked again.

With the HR Monitor app running in the background, it caused issues with some of my other apps, such as the Samsung Music widget, Flaunt widget, and the calendar widget. Not so with Chime. I'm satisfied.
[Samsung Gear S2] Phreaker47:
Thanks for this. Trying Chime now. Had this classic a few weeks and finally bothered to figure out this whole nonsense (screen turning off suddenly... damn you gyro sensor!)

I think another fix Samsung should do is allow the gesture wake up functionality without the "go back to sleep" part.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Hi all-

Resurrecting this thread because I decided to try ambient mode and was having the same issues although my watch face was turning off in ten minutes. I had the following settings:

Always On Mode

No wake Up Gesture

No Heart Rate Monitoring in SHealth

I tried turning on frequent hear rate monitoring and the watch hasn't gone blank for 60 minutes. I am going to keep my eye on it and will post if anything changes. I will also try moderate heart rate monitoring.

Note that I did not have to install any othe apps and am using a third party watch face.

Fred

Edited in: It turns out I spoke too soon. The watch started to go blank again in ten minutes. It really is not a useful mode for the ambient to not last forever. Oh well. Sorry.
[Samsung Gear S2] optimummind:
Try the app Chime instead. It works better than HR Monitor. Set the screen to turn on every 30 mins.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I saw that in the thread, maybe I will give it a try. I am not sold on ambient mode yet though I am happy with how my favorite watch face looks that way.

Edited in: I downloaded Chime and it does seem to be working though I had to set the chime to go every 15 instead of 30 minutes. I am getting used to it. Thanks.

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I did try Chime and was not thrilled.

However, I just got the latest update (R720XXU2DPG1) and it seems during the first few hours that the always on mode is staying on more reliably (though not completely). Has anyone else had the same experience?

Hello [MENTION=3590033]Malaysk[/MENTION] .

Your rom and bootanimations are just great. Can I ask for one more Honda Civic animation on 1024 x 600 ? I got just the perfect 30s video for the job. It'll need a little crop because it's a Full HD one, but hey you're the master.

For part two you can still use the logo if needed. I find my double din boot just around the 30's.

Thanks in advance !

Hi Malaysk.

Can you please tell us exactly how to install these boot animations? I think we are quite many who don't really understand the procedure..

I've tried several ways, but i just cant manage to get it working. :crying:

And is it possible to make it work with a boot-sound? That would be so awesome (of course I've tried that to without success)

[MTCB Software Development] supaneko:
I may be stuck on this as well.

I've extracted the .zip to the location specified but when I reboot, the logo that was selected in the Factory Settings is shown. If I try to choose customer under factory settings, it tells me I need to insert an SD card.

I'm guessing I need to put this zip file on an SD card and then upload it from there instead of just replacing the .zip as specified in the first post.

I'll have to hunt for an SD card. Has anyone had any success with changing these outside of the instructions in the first post?
[MTCB Software Development] jrgalang:
In the newer ROMS of Malaysk, and in the same menu in Factory Settings 126, there's a select right below the "Custom" checkbox, asking you whether you want Animation One, Animation Two, or Animation + DVD icon. Change that to the 2nd option (Animation Two or equivalent) and when you reboot, the logo will change to dancing androids.. if you already replaced it then you should see your custom boot animation.

This is working for me but I get stuck in a boot loop whenever I use the custom HYUNDAI 1 boot animation. Not sure if I just need to mimic the settings of the stock dancing android so it won't get stuck, but didn't bother trying again.
[MTCB Software Development] supaneko:
jrgalang, thank you. When I head out this morning, I'll give it a try and see what happens. A little nervous about getting stuck in a boot loop but, at this point, I'm still tweaking the system and trying to see what I like. If it gets stuck, I'll just reflash. Thanks again, my friend.
[MTCB Software Development] supaneko:
HURRAY!

It works! Not stuck in a boot loop either.

After replacing the file as directed by Malaysk (I used Mazda2) and setting to Logo Animation 2, I have a new boot animation at startup.
[MTCB Software Development] hadjistyllis:
It seems you didnt give right permission to the replacement file ( rw-r-r), its a common bootloop problem.

[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
Here u go

I've made a 800x480 and 1024x600 choose the one for your device's screen resolution. When downloaded, don't forget to delete the "800 or 1024" from the zip folder name, depending on which one you have downloaded. The name of the zip folder should be: bootanimation_dancing_droids.zip when you put it onto your device.

[MTCB Software Development] Nero_PL:
The animation works fine for me and looks great

.

But after booting with the new bootanimation my touchscreen and also my bottons doesn't work.

I had to flash the rom to reset the animation than it works fine again.

I tried that two times and i got always the same issue-
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
Hm sound strange.. What device do u have? And are u using Malaysk rom?

It works great on my own unit with no problem..
[MTCB Software Development] Nero_PL:
I've got a Erisin ES9746A it's a RK3066 device and I'm using the rom from Malaysk (I'm using the rom for RK3066 1024x600 units from the 10th January 2k16)
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
According to Erisin.com, the device you have is a 800x480 screen resolution.. U might wanna consider using the right rom and boot-animation..
[MTCB Software Development] smubob:
Is it possible to make one of this pic without Animation? Screen 1024x600 ...

Would Love to :)
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
Try this first.

1: With root explorer, go to folder root/system/logo and find the VW photo, take note of the file name before renaiming it!

2: Now rename it to something else (example: copy.png1).

3: Now copy and paste your new picture into the same folder (root/system/logo) and make sure that the photo have the same name as the custom VW picture have (the name that u took note off before renaming it).

4:After that make sure to give the right permissions as all the other custom photo's have.

5:At the end, go out off root explorer, then go to settings, scrool down to factoy settings, enter password (usually: 126), go to car logo, scrool eighter left or right, until u land on the VW logo, then apply, exit and restart.

6:After that enjoy! :)

Let me know if it is to wierd for u to understand :)
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
Btw, u might wanna consider a bigger picture :)
[MTCB Software Development] smubob:

Clearly understood. Used that pic on my old one - No Problem with this res ;)
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
U are welcome bud :)
[MTCB Software Development] smubob:
So i tried... Not working :(

- See the new Logo in menue and applied. Nothing happend.

- Changed to animation one or two -> dancing droids or car Logo is on

Hm...
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
Make sure the picture is in .png format. And maybe i forgot to tell u. There is to folder in the system map, one is just called 'logo' and another one is 'logo-something' i don't remember the name of the other folder but it is also something with logo.. Make sure u change the picture etc. in the other folder as well, like i told u in the other comment.. And animation have to be 'animation one' or 'two'.

If that doesn't work and you've done everything right, im lost :D
[MTCB Software Development] smubob:
Ok ! :)

I just put the Skoda png on my Stick. Then i openend photoshop and Changed it into Mine. Put back on with Right permissions. I will copie it into the Second folder. Do i have to put on the Custom Box ? Its right of the Logo....
[MTCB Software Development] ddoubled1:
Okay ill tell u again :)

1:Rename old pictures ex: skoda.png1

2:What ever picture u want. Rename pictures to ex: skoda.png copy and paste to both 'logo' folders. Give right permissions.

3:Go to settings,´choose 'animation one' or 'two', select logo on slider. Apply, exit and reboot.

No u don't have to select 'Custom box'. Maybe u can choose this option, I've never tried like this before.. Try it tough.

Hi All,

I recently tried one to put together an animation based on the various insutrctions throughout the thread. Needless to say, it DID NOT work. Now after the Malaysk Car ROM boot logo I get a blank screen and then unit never fully boots. I can get into recovery, but nothing else.

Is there a way to get into factory settings without fully booting? Can this possibly be fixed by updating the ROM again and erasing everything? Did I permabrick my unit?
[MTCB Software Development] ozy.shigo:
If you can get into recovery, re-install firmware from gps-sdcard or usb stick

I tried something with BMW bootanim:

there are 444 pictures total,

part0 is only 1 picture and part1 is 444 pictures

I tried with putting 222 pictures at part0 folder

and next 222 pictures in part1 folder

but I have forgotten to give rw-r-r rights and bootanimation didnt played at all so I needed to reinstall firmware

and that was the last I manage to blow..

I think that maybe in that way it would work because maybe its too much 444 pictures included only in one folder "part1 "

I don't need that much that bootanimation (even if its really really nice) but maybe I will try one more time that way .. didnt decide :)
