Notifications shrinking watch face? - LG G Watch R

Anyone having the issue of your notifications showing up on the screen in the foreground and pushing your watch face into background?

thats a feature introduced by AW Lollipop and the new watchface API
the watchface decides how cards ar handled
WatchMaker for example lets you configure how it should behave - including the old mode where the watchface stays as it is and is overlayd by the notification card

3. Tap the Settings entry, then scroll down until you see About and tap it
4. Scroll down to the build number, and tap it seven times — yes, just like on a phone
5. Go back to the Settings menu and you'll see a new option for Developer Options, and tap it
6. In the new list of settings, enable ADB Debugging
7. Now that debugging is enabled, you should be able to sideload apps!

Everyone needs to check out the app "Wear Store" from the Play Store. It didn't show up as my first result, but it works great. It shows all(?) compatible wear apps. I'm just not sure how it's managed. I don't know if there is any way to tag applications as "wear compatible" in the play store, so I'm assuming that the person who developed "Wear Store" is maintaining a list of apps, similar to the way this thread is working.

yeah i'm not 100% on that either given that i've come across a couple of watch faces on the play store which don't appear in that "wear store".... unless they will be seperating apps from watch faces (like pebble do) which is a good idea to be honest as no doubt there will be a massive influx of (crappy) watchfaces at some point soon

I thought that influx of crappy watch faces already started lol. That GTAGuitar is pumping out widget crap like mad and charging a buck for each one. Talk about capitalizing on an emerging market.
So guys should I scrap this thread and everyone is just using the "Wear Store" app?!

[Q] Is there a watch face that properly shows seconds?

Hey all. I'm looking for a digital watch face that displays seconds in the same way that it shows hours and minutes. I need it to just show the changing number, not some fancy animated circle or the like. Any suggestions? It doesn't seem like what I'm looking for exists yet. Thanks.
I have been using this one so far as it's not too bad...

[Q] Black screen in the night

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to automatically turn off the screen at night (during a specific time).
Is there any app to do this ? Or tasker/IFTTT/Tockle profile to do the same ?
I would like a swipe-from-the-right switch similar to the mute switch (swipe from top) which puts the watch into airplane mode and deactivates the always on mode, too. (=night mode)
WatchMaker app just got (after the last update) tasker plugin. You can switch different faces based on different parameters. If you build a face with dim mode - off and you will activate-it after midnight (as an example), then you will get exactly what you want.
Any example for this.. I am unable to figure this out
You need to install "tasker" also, in parallel with "watchmaker".'Go to watchmaker app and create the watch face you desire (or download one from the internet - there are plenty to choose from).
Take the watchface of your choice and create a duplicate.
On the duplicate add a BLACK png file on top of everything and activate-it only in dim mode.
Then, set-u tasker to switch on the duplicate face while it's night and to the original face in the rest of the day.
Now, you will basically have the same watchface in all circumstances, but at night, the dim mode will just be black (which, in the amoled world, means, screen off).

you can do the same thing without Tasker:
add a BLACK png file- or even better: a shape with the color black and size of 512x512px - on top of everything and activate-it only in dim mode
then use the following formula in the opacity field:
{dh23} > 18 and 100 or {dh23} < 7 and 100 or 0
red indicates the time in which to apply the filter (in my case between 19:00 and 07:00)

I'm just using "Slumber for Android Wear"
It makes the screen black when you put the watch on his cradle.
No airplane mode though

yes, WatchMaker is great on its own - but I really love the tasker integration!
I'm using the above formula to set a 50% opacity shade during the night hours in order to dim the screen
btw: the same thing should be possible with Facer

i have used tasker to set the black watch face in the night. but 1 problem, watchmaker works only when one of the faces from watchmaker is selected. If i select any of stock watchface, the tasker thing does not work as it is mentioned in watchmaker app description that to change the face one of the watchmaker faces should be selected on the watch..
Of course it's working like that, seriously, what have you expected?
If/when the main wear app will allow changing faces remotely via tasker (or it will offer an API for that) then we will be able to do that.
Anyway, my watch is turning off by itself while it's placed in the charger. It will not turn off immediately but after few minutes.

I haven't tried it myself, but FaceLift could be what you are looking for
it should allow you to switch to watchmaker (which you have to pre-set with a black image) and back to the stock face at certain times

As I understand it, praddz wants the watch to turn off during a certain time frame, not when charging
If you want the watch to turn off immediately when charging and are willing to enable developer options, for me it works to set the keep screen on option to enabled
At night I just deactivate Screen Alway ON to have screen off while charging. So easy that changing face or other workaround no ? Long press button and just click on screen parameter.

Figured I'd chime in that changing faces from the app is confirmed for the Lollipop/Wear 2.0 update rolling out this week. On another note, it would be cool to have the 5.0 notification system integrated into Wear, so things like Quiet Hours, Priority interruptions, etc. Maybe someday.
Am i missing something? My watch automatically turns the screen off when it's on the cradle, after about 10 minutes.

[Q] Q - Using MOTO360 Custom Watchfaces on G Watch R

I've been using facerepo.com to download some nice custom watchfaces. A lot seem to be for the Moto360 but seem to work fine. However they seem to have an ambient mode that just dims the screen rather than shutting off certain elements like numbers, text, etc (the LG stock faces seems leave just the hands). My question is, are these ok to use on the G Watch R? I change the watchfaces a couple of times a day, only use dark faces, have brightness setting on one (and I use Swapp True Dark). I know it might affect battery life a bit but am I safe from the dreaded burn in
if you use watchmaker you can edit the faces yourself to select what is displayed in dimmed mode. I guess you can do the same with facer.

Thanks for this, but I actually quite like having all the parts showing in dimmed. Do you think I would be affected with burn-in leaving them displayed in dimmed mode.

Watchface with Altimeter

Watchface request for a watchface with 24h-watch, pulse, and altimeter. As the watch is always conneted to smartphone, the hight can be transferred from phone.
Currently possible (without display of time) with Wearable Widges and an altimeter app with a small widget (e.g. Altimeter from examobile).
Needed for Gear S2
Sounds cool, did anything ever come of this?
Thanks!
