Anybody have a solution for 1.8.10 dropping connection to my watch after the first Run on Watch? Thanks!

I always use the method outlined i the documentation . O am s but nerbous of comsnd line stuff . I Switch the ADB debugging off and on each time confiming it each time . I do the same for the Wireless debugging . Yes I have to type the numbers each time . I would rather that than a string of failed downloads . The price we Pay for an Offline platform .

Thanks russellcresser. For some reason, I thought it was you who told me to keep my watch on the charging stand to avoid having it drop the connection each time I use Run on Watch - guess it must have been someone else.
But if you have a moment, can you clarify why it’s important to confirm each time by switching off and on ADB and Wireless debugging each time and entering all the numbers each time? What bad thing could happen by not doing that?

No it was quite possibly me that said that to you . There is a setting down the List in the Developers Settings on the Watch .
I do not use these myself . I am happy to type the numbers in to get a sucessful Sync . Of course there can be no harm by the method I am recomending . I belive the Routine wakes the systm up and gets ready for me for a short window .
.
I do have (and have always had) that auto enable wi-fi when charging turned on. However, since 1.8.10, it hasn’t helped retain the connection between runs.
It is time-consuming (to me) to have to enter all the numbers each time, but what makes it more time-consuming is that it first tries to reconnect with the watch (displays my watch name). I click that, then it takes almost a minute to finally give me the “Run on device fail” message. THEN, I have to click the + to open the number panel again and enter the numbers. Is that how it works for you?
Thanks!

@Purrstachio2Cat , Most providers support the “Short Text” complication, which is why nearly all options appear as available to set as the Default Provider when “Short Text” is selected.
When you select “Range value” only supported provider is Watch Battery. And same for “Goal Progress” and Step count.

@Purrstachio2Cat , The Edge Quadrant complication has 4 slots. If the default provider is selected for some slots but not others, only the slots with a default provider will show up. However, users can manually select a provider if it’s installed.

@smolnar18 ,
Have you checked if your battery power saving mode was turned on or not?

Battery power saving was (and is) off.

Hopefully @imrulanwar836 can help you more than I . I do the ADB and WIFI toggle . Making sure the WiFi button goes Blue . Then I hit Run on Device . After that I have to hit The Plus sign on the window to enter the Numbers required almout every time . If the next sync is within a couple of munutes It goes through without typing but rarely . Obviously you are seeing the same IP address number each time .

Hi Russell, the issue I raised was the shortcut action function that failed. Its working now on the 1.8.10.
Other than that, I miss the independent analog hands selection.

Cool . Thank you . Yes They give with one hand and take with the other . Because I came here from Facer . I am accustomed to making my hands on image layers and rotating them with Tags in the Angle Field . That gives me a chance to make line up Hands that amuse me . So when they overlap the line up perfectly More of Persona Joke as most users don’t see the trick . Of course I have to use a Tricky Second but that amuses me as well . Of all the motions we could have on a Smart Watch I like the Dead Beat . I understand Samsung are building a Platform who you can make " Anything " without using Tags but I get a lot of Pleasure stretching my Maths Capabilities that I did not realise I had before this Face Making .

Thanks, @imrulanwar836. I thought I would try something with the Quad Edge Comp. Since I always have Battery and Steps in the same place, (upper left, lower right), I wondered if I could use the Short Text in those two with Watch Battery and Step Count respectively and then leave Default Provider Empty and only Range Value selected in the other two (upper right, lower left). I tried that and it didn’t seem to work.

Here’s what it looks like with only one of the four Edge Comps (Watch Battery) filled in as above. I think that’s what you were trying to explain, but I guess I always have to push the envelope a little.

Since only the upper left has a default provider selected, only this one would appear on the watch by default.
To choose the other ones, from your watch customize the watch face and select your provider for the other complications.

Hi, @imrulanwar836, Thanks for responding. I can’t do a video, but can give you exact steps and a screenshot of the Run on device fail Notice. These steps below occur AFTER one previous successful Run on Device and testing the watch face on my watch. The testing on my watch required (of course) me to turn Bluetooth back on so that I could customize the face. Bluetooth is then left on for my next Run. That and everything else described here worked perfectly before 1.8.10, and I’ve made no changes to my routine.
After a Successful Run-on-Device:
-
I have left the WFS project open, and decide I need to make more changes…
-
Make additional changes to the WFS design and click File > Save.
-
Click Run on Device.
-
My watch name appears in the Connected Devices pop-up: Galaxy Watch 7 (AD3T).
-
I click on my watch name.
-
I wait 10-40 seconds.
-
Instead of connecting to my watch, I get a Notice: Run on device fail.
-
I click OK, turn OFF Bluetooth, and repeat the whole Run on Device set-up process again and it successfully sends the face to my watch.
-
To test the latest changes, I turn Bluetooth back on and run the tests. If I make further changes in WFS, save them, then try Run on Device again and again, it gives me the …fail notice.
Note that there have been a couple of times when I didn’t get the …fail notice on my subsequent Runs, but rarely. I am wondering if it is a function of time between Runs? Maybe it’s dropping connection after x-number of minutes since the last run?
