I was also having struggles using the OSX version. My workaround for the OS X issue was ultimately to use Windows. After connecting to the GS2 using the terminal in Windows, I, instead of pushing the watch face through the terminal, used the GWD feature for "Run on device". The watch face installed flawlessly, and ever since, I've been able to use the GWD on my Mac without any problems. So my recommendation is that you use Windows once, connect to the device using the terminal and then run the watch face on the device using the GWD. After that, you should be good to go on your Mac as well. Important to note here is that you use the same certificates in Mac as you used for the one-time setup in Windows. Otherwise the entire purpose of using Windows once is defeated. :) Hope that helps!

You need to download the Java SDK for Mac.

I'm havign this same problem now. I have done a lot of different faces, now no matter what I do, I get the same error 23. I have generated the new cert, same thing...

I even upgraded to GWD 1.0.2....no luck. AM I the only one?
[Samsung Gear S2] mr_zzz:
Latest update on the watch is a disaster .... .

So I did the update, phone S5 couldn''t connect to the watch anymore ... .

The only solution was to reinstall the Gear app on the phone.

After installation it did some application updates, then it asked me to do a 'soft' reset, so I did.

Didn't know that a 'soft reset' was actually a reset to factory defaults !!!

So after all that I needed to reinstall the Gear app once again wherafter I finally was able to connect to the watch again!

Time to install some watchfaces again off course ... .

After enabling the 'unknown sources' on the phone, did all the same steps in GWD, but now I can't even connect to the watch anymore ... .

Can ping the ip, so watch is certainly on the network, still I am getting following error:

sdb connect 192.168.0.223

* server not running. starting it now on port 26099 *

* server started successfully *

error: server not running

failed to connect to 192.168.0.223:26101

Does anybody has the same problems after the latest update of the watch??

(btw, GWD is also latest version, it worked perfectly before the latest watch update .... )

Steps already taken:

- did full factory reset of watch: no change

- did uninstall/reinstall of GWD software: no change

- off course debugging is on and 'unknown sources' is also on

- everything is been run as admin etc

- rebooted watch : no change

As I said before, this all worked just fine unstill the latest update of the watch ...

Wat to go Samsung, waw!
[Samsung Gear S2] Oobly:
I fixed it by requesting a new Author certificate from scratch, going through the whole process of putting in my details, etc. and getting the emailed certificate.
[Samsung Gear S2] docluv01:
I tried that, did the "Author Cert" option.... It generated a cert right away, didn't ask for my email. (aside from the samsung login)

I may have to try and uninstall and re-install from scratch....not sure if that makes a difference...
[Samsung Gear S2] grahamlucas:
Thanks Krismutt - I used GWD on Windows as you advised and I was able to successfully connect and download to my watch. Now back in Mac OS X I can "Run on Device" without any errors!

Thanks very much for your help!!

Graham

n.b. I didn't need to use the command line - only the GWD 1.0.2 application.

GWD tutorials

Hi guys!

So I just recently got my new gear s2 classic, and I was looking at the gear watch designer application. I searched online for GWD tutorial videos on how to get familiar with the software, but I've found nothing. Do any of you guys know of any GWD tutorial videos? and if not, how did you learn and get familiar with the software?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Samsung Gear S2] docluv01:
Guys I'm really screwed...this used to work perfectly!

I tried a fresh install on virgin pc....same thing SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION_FAILED

tried re authoring new cert like 100 times.....nothing has changed in my watch, other than it automatically takign the latest updates....
[Samsung Gear S2] mr_zzz:
Pfffff, finally got it working again after the latest watch update ... .

A few remarks on this BETA software (which it sure is...).

>> When you decide to reinstall the soft, make sure to first end the sdb.exe in your task manager !!! <<

The process runs in the background, so first disable this, uninstall the GWD soft, then delete the whole C:\Program Files (x86)\GearWatchDesigner (or whatever folder you installed it in).

After that is done, re-initialise everything, including the author and distributor cert.

look in the folder where GearWatchDesigner is installed. there must be a folder named

if not, make one. copy fonts from the font folder to the temp folder.

otherwise, Sammy says it will be fixed in v1.0.3
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Dear Developers

I managed to install the GWD on mac and after some time I managed to get it to connect to Gear s2.

1. I loaded a watch face.

2. Created and loaded the author certificate

3. Created and connected with the device the distributor certificate

4. I build the watch face with moderate security level

5. I click to run on the device and after some loading I get: processing result : SIGNATURE_VERIFICATION_FAILED [23] failed

I just can't get through this error. I tried deleting my author certificate and creating new one - didn't help.

I tried restarting the watch and the GWD - no difference (still the error 23).

Here is the full screen:

Thank you in advance for help!

[Update] I installed GWD on a windows laptop and did all the necessary steps... I got exactly the same error 23.

I have not updated my Gear s2, it is straight from the box. You think that may be the cause? Anybody had the error like this?

[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
GWD is a tad flaky. i have found that when typing values in these particular fields i must hit the ENTER key immediately following typing in characters. if you type then click elsewhere without first hitting ENTER it reverts back to the default.

maybe this will help unless you are already doing it.

When all you need to get it to work is the steps to connecting the gear with sdb connect and thene install the watch face in gearwatchdesigner like the video?

I'm getting the Signature_Verification_Error as well. I tried creating new certificates. Tried versions 1.0.2 and 1.0.3, still issue persists. I recently downgraded my firmware so I could connect to iOS. Not sure if that is why.. Does anyone have a copy of 1.0.1 to test with? Or have any other ideas?
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
I am having exactly the same problem, Error 23 - Signature Verification Failed.

Jiggygent - you mentioned you downgraded firmware on the watch, was it possible to install the watch faces with the updated one?

Is this error connected with the outdated firmware on the watch or is it something else?

I tried creating new author certificate. I did all the steps however I keep getting error 23 - Signature Verification Failed. I tried both on osx and win. The same error.

Anybody had luck solving this problem?
[Samsung Gear S2] LiveDigi:
Got exactly same error as you guys, Signature Verification Failed, I believe it's because the firmware we have to be able to connect the Gear S2 with the iPhone...
[Samsung Gear S2] stuartlowb:
Have you made sure once you have loaded the design in that you have instructed GWD to "build" the watch before you upload. I forgot to do this and had errors with the author certificate. Once I pressed build and then upload it was fine.
[Samsung Gear S2] jiggygent:
VIVES_Matt, I didn't try with the latest firmware before downgrading. Not certain if it would have worked or not.

Stuartlowb, Yes, loaded project>author certificate>build>connect watch via sdb connect or GDW scan>redistributor certificate>install via sdb install or in GWD directly.. always fails with error 23 Signature Verification Error.
[Samsung Gear S2] stuartlowb:
Try it without the distributor certificate step. I don't use it and it works just fine
[Samsung Gear S2] jiggygent:
That did it! I just loaded the project>author certificate>build>connect via GWD and it successfully installed! Thank you!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:
Does not work for me... :/ It stops at 40% and does not go any further.

Jiggygent - You have updated firmware on Gear s2? Which version do you have? and which version of GWD?
[Samsung Gear S2] matchev:
It worked for me !!! With the stock firmware (linked with my iPhone) and GWD last version

project>author certificate>build

Then, in Command line, sdb install [location of the tpk]

(If I install it through GWD, it stops at 40% too)

Thanks !
[Samsung Gear S2] VIVES_Matt:

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

When I install from GWD, it hangs on 40% for a few seconds. Eventually jumps to 60% and then to 100%.. I don't know if it helps, but I keep the watch active just in case that has anything to do with t.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
Short question:

How do I activate the stopwatch in my self-created Watchface? Timer goes - I know - with "com.samsung.timer-wc1" in Properties / Action. Are there comparable for the stopwatch? For these instructions, there is a list - but I have found nothing - maybe there is a second page?

Maybe someone knows about it - would be great.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Gear S2] akimadoll:
Sorry, didn't have time to read through all the posts before I have to leave for work, so apologies if this has already been answered:

The GWD has a delightful tendency to get stuck on 40% when I upload a new face, so I've used the CMD a few times. Face uploads in seconds, shows up as the complete design in the face library, but when I select it it has everything except the background image - all the hands, complications and what have you work perfectly and are placed as designed, but the background image is replaced with plain black.

Double Hands

For anyone that runs into an issue where the watch face doubles hands.

If you find that the watch has double of something, for example, 6 hands, extra dials, or images, it is a glitch in GWD where it uploads the preview of the watch at 10:10 as the background image and the other moving parts on top. To fix this, just delete your background image, reupload it, move it behind everything, and it will be fixed. This was not my solution, I found this solution on a post over at the GWD community and wanted to share it here for everyone as it has worked everytime.
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
How long does it take after your watch face is approved for it to appear in the gear store? I submitted a face I made for a buddy. Went through the whole process, it shows for sale when I log in to my account but he cannot find it in the store on his phone.

[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
New guy here. I'm tired of not finding the simple watch face I want so I thought I'd do it myself. However the program is a pain in the butt to use. I have one desigend but I"m struggling on getting it uploaded and I'm not even sure if it works. I hit Run and it brings the window up but the watch doesn't do anything to indicate that it's 'running'. I'll keep playing with it but if there are any other newbs out there drop me a line and lets share the suck.
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
Are you using hands on your watch face? If so, make sure you change the default for the minute and second hands to minutes and seconds. By default they sync to hours. So if you don't change how they sync, they just sit there and do nothing.
[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
Thanks! That worked. AND I managed to get them uploaded. Now I wait until they appear on the market, I guess?
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
Yup. And it can take a couple days to show up.
[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
Wow. That's a while. But I just posted 2 total and doubt I'll post any more. I'm pretty basic in my needs. Is there any way to avoid posting to the market or is that just how it works? No problem, just wondering if theres a faster way to get it on my Gear S2.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
You can do it regardless of the store to install on your watch with "run on device" - or have I misunderstood you?

Nope! Thats pretty much it. Thanks for the help!

OK, got my watch faces working on my GS2. Now I've found out that you can do different watch faces based on a specific time - like night and day faces. I'm struggling with layers. How to get them specifically. I thought I had two layers only to find that, when I started to work on the watch face, one layer disappeared. Is there a book somewhere??
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
try this:

[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
That's where I started. Tells you what but not how. But thanks!
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
Yeah it does. You have to look closely but it tells you what to do. Half way down the page - Advanced Features - Condition: Time

You add the 2 layers and have them show and hide based on the time line. It's all right there.
[Samsung Gear S2] rogerperk:
When I tried that one of the layers deleted. Actually twice.
[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
It works. I made a quick tutorial video on it this morning. find it here: https://youtu.be/e9Wk4QFDeWc

[Samsung Gear S2] Hobson318:
here is another one i just made. not sure why audio didn't record but you will get the idea by watching it. it goes through how you can change your watch face based on time of day. this one goes through the ranges of getting up, getting ready for work, work, happy hour, dinner, leisure and back to bed.
