From the Sport version, that is, from version 0.. But announcing the time after holding down two fingers on any watch face.. ticking the time every hour.. ticking the time in silent mode.. I won't write that.
I don't know about you, but my AW4 can last for hours after the update. 100% charged battery much less... So a lot of crap has been added for me, but at the expense of the battery and I don't like that. It used to last me 2 days now max a day and that's without even a day of training with it turned on...
In my opinion, it is caused by the noise measurement which is permanently active... but I may be wrong.
I agree with that, the dial with noise measurement and it only lasts until about 22 pm. I get up at 7. IWatch S4
Noise measurement has a definite effect on this. I always had a few days after each update where the bat was more than usual. But after hard testing and a few days, it always came back
AW4, taken off charger at 8 yesterday. I'm having trouble measuring the noise on the dial. 2 hours by car and navigation, fooling around with the kids all day (exercise closed without letting him go), approx. 20 minutes of phone calls through the watch and 2 hours in the evening with navigation back. Overnight on hands, 8% in the morning at 44 o'clock.
Hello,
How can I make things read on mobile (emails, messages from messengers, ...) no longer appear under the "red dot" as not read?
It annoys me enough that everything I read on my mobile phone I have to click again and again in the notifications in AW
Previously, the things I read on my mobile phone were no longer in AW, they removed themselves from the notification on AW
They are still staying there now
It's the same for me, the aw4 discharges half as fast and now I don't give two days even by mistake. I have sound metering turned off. They must be kicking ass.
that's weird, WOS6 on aw4.. I used to get up at 7:30 in the morning. now 18:05 and I still have 82%.. although it's Saturday and only one 2-hour walk and I didn't have any music on my iPhone.. but still.
I just had the opposite impression that they last longer
I have the same thing, considering I sleep with the watch on, it annoys me quite a bit. I just hope it gets better :(
Pull down the blind, hold and X to delete everything - problem solved 😀
Just to be sure: I can't get from BETA aw os6 to normal aw os6 right? :) until aw os6.1 what? Thanks M
After switching to watch os6, the mouse won't tell me the time when I click. Allowed in iPhoneIt's X, I tried turning off/on the phone. also aw4 and it didn't help.
Can anyone advise?
It stopped working for me too. Probably a bug of the new system.
They don't speak to me either. Settings by site apple. And he doesn't speak
Re-pairing helped me
The new pairing helped, it's working now. THANK YOU
For me, when the old one taps the mouse, it works great
I don't know, but I was able to turn off BT already in an older version of the system. so it probably won't be news 6.
I don't think it was possible. The BT menu is there, but it doesn't have a slider to turn it off. He was added just now.
Otherwise, it's a shame that they didn't add a few dials for the AW 3 as well. The white one with Roman numerals is very nice.
My AW 4 notifications are not working after the update.. has anyone experienced this? I tried disconnecting AW and reconnecting to iPhone but nothing changed.
Restart AW and it should help
Unfortunately this doesn't work either. I'll try support tomorrow. Applu
It helped me. Turning off AW and then turning it on
Or try one of these

Otherwise, Viber whats up notifications didn't work for my colleague today and only restarting his mobile phone helped him
After the update, I can't make a phone call from the AW4. Every time it gives me an error that the call failed. However, the person I'm calling rings a few times. Otherwise, answering a call on the AW4 and talking normally works without any problems. Re-pairing didn't help. I have iPhone SEHas anyone had the same problem and can you advise, please?
So I solved the problem. It was doing it on AirDrop on iPhone. After turning off AirYou can now call Drop from your watch 🙂
unfortunately I don't like Mickey either, don't you know what to do with that?
