Guys, watchOS is canceled. Literally unusable. (They can’t be re-ordered here; it should be alphabetical.) Boris Galerkin fucked around with this message at 08:10 on Sep 28, 2019 |

The true crime is the Voice Memos label also has a space at the start so it’s out of line with the rest. Steve Jobs died for this

Any way to force close all background apps instead of one by one? Yes I know it’s probably very efficient don’t janitor your watch etc etc. but sometimes it bugs out and I just want to wipe them fresh

There is, it’s only on certain faces though. Utility is one off the top of my head. It needs a lot of room to display.

Anyone else having GPS accuracy issues with OS6? I've done four 10k runs since upgrading and all of them have lost about half a KM of distance and the route accuracy on the map is just garbage. Had no issues at all on OS5. I changed from an SE to an 11 Pro at the same time so I guess it could be phone related, but I run with my phone in a belt where it can't see the sky.

My only GPS weirdness is when I also have my phone with me. I get cut corners like crazy. Works just fine when I leave my phone home.

Pants Donkey posted:I meant the charging puck you get in the box. It’s not entirely plastic like the one aluminum models get. I don’t think they actually sell both versions standalone, so I’m sure they aren’t really different beyond materials. I had to replace the cable that came with my aluminum S3 and the one I ordered showed up with the metal housing on the puck.

I swapped by series 5 GPS sport for another watch with cellular (but didn’t activate it) last night. Twice now I’ve hit 10% battery in less than 6 hours of standby with no usage other than looking at the time. On the GPS Series 5 I was getting slightly worse than Series 3 battery. Anyone have any ideas?

There seems to be an issue with the AOD destroying batteries in the 5, and 6.1 beta allegedly fixes it.

It’s OS 6 bugginess in general it seems, I saw some complaints about it on S4 watches too. Turning display off helps some, for others it’s the cellular. I saw some posts saying things are magically fine all of a sudden after 2-3 days of poo poo battery. Try stuff out and cross your fingers basically, and hope 6.1 fixes it if nothing else helps.

During the watchOS beta I noticed a lot of weird GPS behaviour, I hope they didn’t bring it out to the final.. was sometimes over counting and then also randomly not able to tell Pace.

My battery was never so bad it was dead before work (and I do sleep tracking), but it was noticeably worse the first day I had it compared to my S4. Like maybe 20% lower than normal and that’s with no lte usage. But day two it got closer to normal usage, but I lowered the brightness so that may have influenced it. Also, people save a negligible amount of battery life with the AOD switched off, so it likely is a software issue.

Bought a Series 3 and the microphone doesn’t work! Siri doesn’t hear anything, and a voice memo is just static. Disappointing especially since it took like two hours to update and set up the watch. The rest of the watch is great though and I will definitely be returning it for another one that works. Macichne Leainig fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Sep 30, 2019 |

Siri sucks rear end, and it’s largely with mapping where she’ll give me directions to somewhere in another state whereas Google gets it first try. I know Siri is compromised because it isn’t storing all your data to analyze and sell, but I feel like maps is something that shouldn’t rely on me?

Siri works pretty well for me, but I don't use it to navigate, so I can't really comment on that.

Siri and Apple Maps works great for me but I do live in California though so maybe that has something to do with it. It rarely fucks up.

Siri’s biggest problem is telling me to stay in the left lane when I’m five lanes over and my exit it in 500 feet.

Just got back from Best Buy with the exchanged watch. I think the old one was old stock, since the new one is in a much slimmer box (sans wall wart, but I don't really need another drat 5w charger anyway.) This one appears to have WatchOS 6 installed already, or at least it didn't force an update before setting up. Hopefully it'll work much better.

I’m Scottish so Siri can only understand me a fraction of the time. American privilege is actually being able to use speech recognition software.

But I'd be careful doing that because society has decided that tapping buttons on a radio is socially acceptable, but doing it on your watch will get you a distracted driving ticket.  I tend to do hey siri through my watch while driving too. Not sure if they have some siri magic so that only one device activates at a time or what but the watch seems to work best for me due to a poor cabin mic on my car and my phone being in a pocket.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:6.0.1 is out It's a shame the releases this year were buggy, but I'm super happy that they're pushing out a steady stream of updates. I've always hoped they would do more incremental updates. I really hate when a bug or feature isn't fixed/updated and then in June or September you have to resign yourself to "Oh well, maybe next year."
