Hello @debileq18, we use this gentle vibration in all our integration, but Mi Band is integrate by 3rd party either Zdenek Horak of Tools & Mi Band or Matteo of Notify & Fitness and they use their own implementation of the vibration - honestly I do not even know how their vibration pattern looks like and it probably differs even between those two apps…
During the alarm there should be an alarm notification in the list of all notifications with the snooze / dismiss actions… but as I did not yet had GW4 in hards I’m not sure whether Samsung applied any modifications to how Wear OS displays such notifications…
In general on Wear OS - which is basically Android, it is mot possibelto start any screens from background without a specific - draw over other apps permissions - this is quite a heavy permission to the question si whether the app should ask for it and if we can explaint o users that we need it just to show the alarm screen when alarm starts…
Hello @debileq18, my GW4 arrived and I’m testing it right now… it seems that differently from other Wear OS watches to be able to see the notifications to control tracking and alarms you need to got to the Samsung Wearable app on your phone > Watch settings > Notifications > More > Blocked on watch > Sleep as Android > check…
It seems for some reason most notifications are by default blocked…
Doing this will give you the following notifications which help you control sleep tracking and alarms
–Also I was able to make the SPO2 sensor working on the GW4 I will be releasing the APK to BETA soon…–
UPDATE: I spoke too soon, I was getting SPO2 data from my TicWatch 3 Pro a it was still conected as a second node during the test… but I was able to get HR data is Oximeter on Wear OS was disabled in Settings > Wearables…
i’ve got no SpO2 data from watches even in native SH app =) don’t know why… enabled it in SH on watches to measure it during sleep but still no data in sleep report (=
upd.
i was wrong) i’ve got updated report and now it have SpO2 in it
finally
Hi folks, I’m adding support for ongoing notification which is a new feature in Wear OS 3.0… so that you can access tracking controls and alarm more easily on Galaxy Watch 3…
I’m releasing this and the further updates from today into the BETA channel…
I hope you enjoy GW4 so much as me! This night I was testing lately beta version of Sleep as Android and unfortunatelly battery of the watch was drained from 97% and run out within 3 hours. Before sleeping I checked that pulse measurment was working. And wasn’t able to check other stuff because I fell a sleep within 3-5 minutes.
Regarding battery life, the sensor batching queue - which allows the watch to sleep before we get next sensor batch update is very small on the GW4… for a comparison we get 2000 queue size on TicWatch 3 Pro but only 300 events on GW4… but still even on Wear OS watches with small batching queue we never had over ~40% battery consumption per night of tracking (with bigger queue we get 10% per night without HR and double probably with HR tracking)…
Yesterday I only managed a 4 hour test and my GW4 consumed 33% of battery which is quite high… To interpolate this I expect it would consume 57% battery per nigh of tracking…
I will try a whole nigh tracking today. What would be worth trying is to disable HR tracking - and see what impact this will have on battery life…
@debileq18 big thanks for the update… maybe the battery consumption issue is related to the HR sensor… in the version I have just released I have reduced the sampling rate on HR… so hopefully this will make GW3 usable also with HR on…
yes
without HR it’s drain not much
but 70% was drained from 3:30 to 7:16 =) on classic 46mm
today i’ve recived new firmware update
gonna check tracking at this night from 100% charging
Whenever I press on Galaxy watch 4+ from the settings it just takes me to an error page on the play store. When I return to the sleep app, Galaxy Watch 4+ is unchecked. I don’t know how I’m supposed to enable it from the settings page.
I am happy to help any testing as well and love my new Watch 4 Classic. That said, Sleep as Android is indispensable for me (I’ve been using it for almost a decade now), but it doesn’t seem to be playing well with the watch at all yet.
Hey, it took around 2 days, but today I got approved for the BETA program. Clicking on the “Galaxy Watch 4+” option, it also opens the play store with an error message for me. I also tried downloading the latest BETA manually from your site ( sleep-20210827-beta-release.apk) - and it behaves all the same. Going to the “Sleep as Android” google play page - it specifically says I’m in the BETA program and installed it on my watch + on my phone.
I also just tried re-installing everything on my watch as well as on my phone - does not work. I’ll edit with a video in a bit.
