I would just like a weather complication to add to my watch faces, but it will require data from some source. Not sure where Samsung will be getting that data.
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
Are you seeing the new complications? When I installed 1.0.1 they were not present anywhere in the filesystem. I've tried both an upgrade and clean install.
[Samsung Gear S2] SRZ1977:
Nope, not seeing any new ones at all. Honestly, I don't even know what was changed between 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 other than more bugs and crashing. :(
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
i saw the flaming over at samsung dev forum. outstanding. hope they understand english. glad i stayed on v1.0.0
[Samsung Gear S2] GeorgeP:
Anyone having more trouble with 1.01 than they were with 1.0 might want to try to uninstall and reinstall. For me 1.01 has been more stable than 1.0. However, I did find when it first installed over 1.0, a lot of things weren't working. After 2 uninstalls and reinstalls everything seems to work at least as well as 1.0. There are bugs, but after all is is beta.

[MENTION=7189551]kimvette[/MENTION], not sure what you mean by "connect to gear", but I have not had any problems with "run on device" in 1.01.
[Samsung Gear S2] SRZ1977:
Does anyone here understand how to register a banner in the app store. I don't understand it at all.
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
Sorry I meant the device selection dialog... which comes up when you select run on device.
[Samsung Gear S2] walther1337:
If you're having issues with run on device just install manually for now. Samsung will probably release another update soon.
[Samsung Gear S2] svencux:
Sorry i need to ask again.

the new version of watch designer 10.01 (Windows version) gives me big time trouble with building my project. It stops at 50% even old projects that have been fine before.

Since the MAC is my main computer i would like to use my Mac and the watch designer but i just can't get the watch connected.

So i am trying to figure out the correct terminal command lines.

I used.

/Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb connect 192.XXX.0.5

with this it prompetd back "Permission denided"

So i added sudo like this

sudo /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb connect 192.XXX.0.5

It asked for my password which i put in and after it prompted "command not found"

can someone post the correct command line step by step with sudp for me ..please.

thanks
[Samsung Gear S2] Echo_Steve:
Found this for you..

SDB of MacOSX version having bug, the SDB is not a command.

I copied SDB from 1.0.0 to replace 1.0.1 then "Scan Devices" works well.

But 1.0.1 version for MacOSX still has "Supported size is not found" which same problem as version 1.0.0.
[Samsung Gear S2] svencux:
could you upload the sdb from 10.0 for me.

I would like to test isf the connection works.

Maybe i can do the design on the mach and transfer the complete watchface with my windows computer.

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
Do this and post the output (remove the hash tag):

# ls -lh /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb

what I'm going to look for is x's in the first column (like, -r-xr-xr-x or -rwxrwxrwx. If you do not see x you can try this:

(again, remove the hashtag; I insert those to prevent errant execution by inadvertent copy & paste)

# sudo chmod a+x /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb

Then try running it. It may just not be marked as an executable. By the way did you actually type XXX in the IP address? Typically home routers are in the 192.168.x.x range so in your case the correct IP address is likely 192.168.0.5
[Samsung Gear S2] Echo_Steve:
Unfortunately i don't have the 1.0.0 version anymore

wish i did!!

i found this info by trawling the web..

Have reverted back to using windows for now

For what its worth i am running Windows 7 Ultimate thru Parallels and gear watch designer works well
[Samsung Gear S2] svencux:
this is the output after the first command line

-rw-r--r-- 1 Sven staff 205K 18 Jan 11:18 /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb

This is what i get after entering the other command lines.

Svens-iMac:~ Sven$ /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb connect 192.168.0.5

-bash: /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb: Permission denied

Svens-iMac:~ Sven$ sudo chmod a+x /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb

Password:

Svens-iMac:~ Sven$ ./sdb*connect*192.168.0.5

-bash: ./sdb*connect*192.168.0.5: No such file or directory

Svens-iMac:~ Sven$

So still no luck ..strange
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
Try the chmod command I posted earlier. sdb is not marked as an executable on your system.
[Samsung Gear S2] svencux:
alright this worked.

sudo chmod a+x /Applications/GearWatchDesigner/tizen/tools/sdb

After command line the showed up in the gear manager.

Thanks a lot!!

To bad the problem "Supported size is not found" was not solved with 10.01 Version.

So back to the windows version which does not really work too......gr...
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
trying to fix some corrupted packages - the Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_Merge_ crap resulted in my project breaking

again.

I brought some gwd files into linux and examined them and as suspected they are packaged in the usual java way; a zip archive. I unzipped and re-zipped working projects and changed the extension back to gwd fine so they are doing nothing funky with zip options such as adding signatures or anything else to the headers.

I'm now trying to fix the corrupted projects by editing the XML/JSON by hand and renaming the files. What I do not understand is why they keep inserting this Merged_ crap in front of the filenames, and adding another "Merged_" to the filenames with each save step and each build step. I understand HOW they are doing this but what I do not understand is _why_. Given a long enough filename even POSIX commands will eventually fail - or if they don't the directory can actually become corrupted.
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
No problem. It is very strange how bad the quality is on their releases.

We've got:

* terrible crashes everywhere - 1.0.0 was far more stable than 1.0.1 is

* project file corruption (I'm still trying to find where my package broke - and it was the saves that broke it, nothing I did)

* filesystem problems (they extend index filenames with each save and build)

* the new complications which were a boasting point for this release are completely missing!

* connect/install (run on device) feature displayed in UI but totally broken

* Useless error messages

* No useful logging (c'mon - it's a java app. Enable logging and include stack traces)

* No useful debugging

* "Too many" timeline actions crashes the watch (!!!!!) (I'm trying to make an animation tied to seconds, changing 2x a second for an animation I want synchronised to the clock for a finished feel - animated image feature does not guarantee synchronisation)

* incomplete/buggy png support in GWD and buggy png rendering on the watch

* inability to copy&paste between active and ambient views

* Poorly thought out resource viewer

* Buggy image swap

* poorly planned image swap (you need to pick a file with a different name)

* Lack of feedback from Samsung (if they want feedback on a public beta, monitor the dang forums!)

The Tizen SDK is even worse... and I haven't even spent much time on it yet

No response from Samsung yet... in my usual witty (yet all too often taken as hostile) approach I've just followed up with this at the end of my latest post on their forums:

GWD is frustrating. It's a shame because the Gear itself shows a lot of promise and I think the direction it's heading, there is a good chance it could go mainstream this year. We just need stable design and development frameworks so that good, useful apps can come.
[Samsung Gear S2] WiringHarness:
Don't bother changing info while your project is loaded in gear. As you have seen, it will just overwrite your changes.

The ,gwd files are just packed in zip format, so you can close GWD, and then unpack the .gwd file with your favorite Zip reader (I use 7-zip on Windows). If it makes life easier for you, you can change the .gwd extension to .zip, but 7-zip doesn't care. Once the files are unpacked, you can modify the filenames as you see fit, as long as you make the same changes in the resourceType and res\watchface.xml files.

Then zip up the res, resources, and resourceType.xml files, add the .gwd suffix back on and you are in business.

I recommend copying the gwd file to a separate folder before unzipping it, so you don't let the GWD program have access to the contents you are manually editing.
[Samsung Gear S2] WiringHarness:
What has been working for me is to keep a separate copy of the unpacked gwd files. You can add whitespace to the XML files and GWD tolerates that, so it becomes a lot easier to hand-edit the files. Also, the files in the "resource" folder don't seem to be needed. So now I manually edit the watchface.xml file and the graphic files in the res\ folder in my separate working copy. Then after any edit, I zip it up and load it into gwd and test it with GWD's "run" feature to make sure my XML has no errors.

If I use the GWD editing tools, I just look at the temporary workspace files to see what GWD actually wrote and then I copy the changes to my separate working copy, save it, zip it, reload it in GWD and test again. I realize that it's sick and wrong to do this outside of GWD but it turns out to be a lot less stressful.
[Samsung Gear S2] chipis:
Are this compatible with Gear s2, cause i only see for other watches as the noted on the site you said?
[Samsung Gear S2] stranula:
As I said, those faces are designed for android wear. BUT, for many of them, you can download them, open in winrar and take out the background and watch hands
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
If you do this, be respectful of others' copyrights; you don't want others to rip off your designs. :)
[Samsung Gear S2] phxtravis:
Just wanted to say things to pretty much everyone in this thread, I was able to make my first watch face (zero experience with this or anything similar) and upload (free) to the market. I can't wait to see what improvements Samsung will make to allow even further customization.
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
Strange - run on device now works. I have not updated my PC, there was no update for my Gear (still have the original firmware - why does the US always get device updates last?), I have applied no java updates nor have I rebooted my workstation. I did however have to factory reset my phone last night due to an OTA update from AT&T breaking notifications but that should have no bearing whatsoever on this since GWD connects over wifi, not via bluetooth using the phone as a proxy.

Strange.
[Samsung Gear S2] svencux:
does anyone still have the old version 1.0 for windows available and can put it up for download.

I just can't make the new version work for me anymore.
[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
I have 1.0.0 still... pm me and I will give you the URL later today.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
I was now irritated it - therefore a short report:

After I GWD 1:01 not made to run on my iMac, I have VirtualBox and Windows 7 installed and GWD packed it. Half a night with the designer messing around - made mistakes - tried this and tried that - corrects errors - caused 2 x crash - then (why not first) I read the instructions more closely - YES: ALWAYS login with the 2 Certifikaten !!! - Learned it - found the right way, and then it went smoothly and without further problems! Also, the coupling to Gear S2 and transmitting the first work to my clock went fine - everything worked - I was really surprised and soon I had the Watchface done as I have wished for - almost perfect including a considerable ambient-mode!

It was already read by a few problems in this forum - was not with me - I have learned from the mistakes of other users and the advice here in the forum - Thanks to Walther1137 and to you all for that!!!

[Samsung Gear S2] kimvette:
I had this problem with 1.0.1. Even after unpackaging the project, fixing the XML and repackaging it the next save will break it. Reverting to 1.0.0 fixes the problem, and 1.0.0 is more stable anyway.

There are also bugs in the firmware where conditions which should work in ambient mode and work in the emulator do not actually work in the device so in some instances items will not render as expected when you run on the device. :rolleyes:

Hi Guys!

I've noticed that my recently purchased Moto X Play (less than 1 month old) has already some scratches in in the gray Plastic frame - this is normal? Happen with u Guys? I'm using a cheap clear cover to protect the phone

Thanks in advance
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moliv:
It's metal? Seems like Plastic to me... (I'm talking about the corner frame)
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
yup normal..happened to me also....but not noticeable. plastic frames usually gets scratched easily. my phone was in the cover the whole time. but somehow it got scratched below the power and volume buttons.

Any more owner has this "problem"?

, i was thinking in return but seems like normal, so i must live with it
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
Again... I asked, asked a question. Hence the question mark after it. How that means I 'corrected' him in your mind I'll never know. Also, I asked the question as I believe it is metal. And reviews have since proven me correct anyway.

Whereas you just accused me of lying and now correcting someone.... Both of which I didn't do. But given how reactionary you seem mostly here I expect nothing less than total inaccuracy from you.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
I guess redmi note 3 pro is gonna launch soon in India. If you want a stock experience and great battery backup, it's right choice.

Other than that you have to weigh each device's pros and cons, then decide what you want from a phone and then zero on the perfect phone for you.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sickaxis79:
[/COLOR]So,

If have moto x play, then please review it's ram.

My uses are - some massaging apps like Facebook messenger, Facebook app, hike that continuously running in background and games like asphalt 8 and clash of clans.

Asphalt 8 runs fine like most other games i tried (Nova 3,MC4,Blitz Brigade,Deadzone,Bug Heroes,Pocket Rally,Real Racing 3)

Some games you have to put the graphic settings to medium or low detail to have a good framerate,but most games you can just play on high settings.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DurgeshPadha:
Thanks for your reviews, I'm going for moto x play.

Only last question is that how much ram is free in your phone?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
After the first boot of phone, there's about 1gb ram available.

I have 24 apps installed and I have about 400 - 500 mb ram free.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fingerprinted:
200-300mb, I think 3gb ram minimum is needed to be honest. That will be my minimum requirement for my next phone.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bablu048:
yup, not bad but it would have been better if it was metal[drawback heavier]. still i love this phone as it is.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

with only 24 apps you have 400-500mb free? heavy apps ?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DurgeshPadha:
hahahA [emoji12]

after many arguments, I was thinking about buying moto x play, but after your review I'm confused again.

only 200-300 free ram[emoji15].

by the way, what apps are running in background in your phone.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fingerprinted:
Barely anything, I use this phone at work to make text/calls and to stream music or listen to the radio. Basically whatsapp, xda app, Snapchat and Nova launcher prime. I have a 4gb ram Asus zenfone 2 for after work with over 30 apps.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/how-much-ram-does-a-phone-need

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Usually when no app is running in background or atleast 1 app is running, then around 600 - 700 mb ram is free.

I got 400 - 500 mb free cause I let the phonograph and uc browser open while I slept. ?
