"Event" complications, in WFS, not "Next events"

Not with wfs but with programming e.g android studio.

If the event is the current day it only shows time not date and time.

If the complication is set for Small Box complication slot or Line complication slot then the next event is a short text complication

If the complication is set for a Large Box complication slot then the next event is a long text complication.

I haven’t tested it but I believe that may be the difference you are seeing. If it isn’t I’ll look into it further.

@r.liechty_SDR may i help to clarify what i and @vargacsaba06 have discussed.

It more like this issue

The next even complication only displays calendar events that have a start time associated with the event. On days where there is only an ALL DAY event, the complication displays “No upcoming events”.

For all complication types.

But in the factory watch face… the “All Day” event will show up

See the difference in the circled area

One is next event complication the other is event complication.

@r.liechty_SDR

Test with this “event”

Notice the all day option

Event → comes from Samsung Calendar and Samsung Calendar has most probably safe watch faces specified in the manifest. That’s why it only works on stock watch faces.

Next Event (Calendar) is a system complication and sometimes is really slow when fetching new calendar events or so.

Next Event not showing All Day Event is a problem. Maybe it needs to be reported to Google. Samsung cannot fix it. What Samsung can, is to allow use of their own Event complication on 3rd party watch faces. Here, I’m skeptical, it won’t happen in the near future, if ever.

Hi, just information of something new i found on my gw5 pro. Regarding the calender you can select.

Now i am able to choose which calendar to use in the complication. Could be a silent update

What you say makes sense… BUT… I don’t see the (Google) calendar in the list for the complication ?? did you have to install a (2nd) calendar app or some such?

I only see the Samsung “Next Event”… which results in “No upcoming Events”… even tho when I click on that it takes me to my very non-empty list of events ???

Software update claims I am using the latest (May 29 2024)

EDIT: also GW5Pro
EDIT2: confirmed… I had to install Google Calendar and only THEN I can see my next event. It seems like a big inconsistency that it would (previously) show no event yet a tap would take me to a calendar fully populated with events.

How did you get the compass on your first watchface above? Is it a WFS-designed face? Thanks!

Its not a compass its a clock dail…

I see. Have been trying to get Compass heading and Event time into WFS variables (not complications) so thought you had found the secret!
