I purchased a new Galaxy Watch 46mm and everything is working good except for the wake-up gesture. It probably seems like 1/30 times I can get it to wake up, otherwise not. I looked in the settings and the wake-up gesture is enabled and I tested turning the option off then back on, but no luck.
I had trouble for a couple of days with this. It sort of worked, but I had to shake my arm up and down, side to side, wiggle and jiggle, and it finally would come on.
Now it comes on from a slight twitch. No idea why.
Now the trouble is I chose "always on," but it still goes dark after a moment. Not dim, dark.
mine is set to Always On, with Auto Brightness Set to "On"
once it dims, it does not increase brightness or respond to touch input with wrist rotation or arm lifting. (normal speed of arm movement at my desk, as if checking a real watch).
???
slow rotation, or slow lifting of the arm does not "activate" the screen.
Wrong. Make sure, that your "Theatre mode" and "good night mode" is off. Go to "galaxy wearable" app in your phone. Then click on settings. Go in advanced settings and then turn off "Theatre mode" and "good night mode". After that your "wake up gesture should be ON. Now your wake up gesture in galaxy watch will work. Take care.
I also had faced the same issue... it is happening because you might have turned on the goodnight mode.. Go to advanced setting and turn off the same... it should resolve the issue... i got it solved by doing it..
I have a LG V30 and I also had wake up problems after setting Do Not Disturb. After turning off DND, it seems to be working now. It has missed some notifications
