Battery saving mode.
-
Hi,
when turning on the battery saver mode, where the watch works like a “normal watch”, does not wake up, has a black mark and needs to be restarted, what could be the reason? -
@kajkom what do you mean by “black mark”?
The battery saver effectively shuts down the WearOS, showing just the timem date and battery. There are no other functions available in this state.
To use WearOS with all its bells and whistles it needs to be bootet which takes time.
This is by design. -
@egika LIKE AN ORDINARY ELECTRONIC WATCH
-
@kajkom yes. As said, this is by design. It is not a watch face of WearOS. The OS is completely shut down.

@egika
I understand it, but I still don’t know if the fact that the watch has the operating system turned off is slowing it down from freezing …?I have to restart the watch several times during the day because the screen is black
-
@kajkom Can you elaborate on when you need to restart the watch?
It goes black screen in the battery saver mode shown in your picture?
Or it does so during normal operation?
And can’t be woken up with the push of a button?There is a time out that switches off the screen after some seconds. It still should be on when you push a button or raise your wrist.
-
@egika Regardless of whether I use it on my wrist or it lies on the desk top, I cannot wake it up several times a day.
None of the buttons work, and the touch dial also doesn’t work, and lifting the watch doesn’t work either.
The only and effective way is to turn it back on and put it back into battery saver mode. -
@kajkom please contact support, there seems to be something very wrong with your watch.
-
@isazi do you mean to send the watch back for service?
-
@kajkom I suggest to at least contact support and communicate with them. They should help you.
-
@isazi said in Battery saving mode.:
supportem
I contacted the support remotely and they suggested a hard restart of the watch, but nothing helped, does anyone have any other ideas before returning the watch to the service?
-
I have another question, do your watches also display information on the dial as I want, once there is information (icon) of the battery and steps, and then it is not?
-
@kajkom have you fiddled with developer settings in WearOS? Specifically animation factors etc?
Those can have an effect on watch face drawing. -
@kajkom none of that, I don’t even know we can interfere with the animation?
-
@kajkom Yes, I have this also.
It does not happen often and is usually fixed by pressing the home button (sometimes a few times).
It is mildly irritating but it does not affect the functionality of the watch, it is just a slight graphical glitch.
I have made no changes to any of the settings in developer mode either. I’ve seen other people post about the same issue. It’s nothing to worry about.

@kajkom
ok thanks for the info. I am still going after the blow, when working in the battery saving mode, the display screen sometimes shines at about 15-20% brightness and sometimes at 100%, what could be the reason for this?
-
@kajkom
This is all pretty strange…
did you buy the watch new or second hand? -
almost every day I encounter a similar behavior of the watch, I wonder if suunto watches are repeatable in their operation, or is it such a problem?
-
recently I noticed that when I charge the watch (100% charged) and go into battery saving mode, the battery icon remains as it was before charging it, i.e. the watch is eligible for charging.
Restarting makes it okay, but how many times a day you can do a restar (I will try to do and send photos for review) -
I bought a new watch in the showroom on 10/09/2021
