It sounds stupid but this happened one time on my gear fit, just was connected to my PC with the ODIN program open doing nothing, and I was on my phone trying to install the gfm (because I can't pair my note 5 with the gear fit), and suddenly I saw something on the watch's screen and I couldn't believe I was on the menu, I wanted to active the bluetooth and make it visible but it wasn't responding the visible option so that's why I had to restared, so now I'm back again in the activation screen :crying:
I have 1 week trying to figure it out what could I did, but I give up. Someone can help me?

probably same method as others. press the name on the watch about 25-30 times. afterwards a message will pop up, wait until it disappears. press and hold the name again for a few seconds and it should get in.

Hi guys, hoping for some SuperUser help...
Using the GPS Time application to try and get my Omate TrueSmart to update the time after the battery dies (I can't believe the device can't hold enough power to maintain its internal clock, that's a terrible design flaw in a watch, but anyway)
The problem is that the GPS Time app pops up the SuperUser dialogue asking me to give it permissions--but the dialogue is too big for the screen and there's no OK button visible! How do you handle this on the TrueSmart?

I have a TrueSmart 1/8, US version, developers edition, with most up to date rom and with Loki's patch.
I wish I had read this thread a few minutes sooner. I was trying to install the gestures app GMD gestures I think it was and kept running into the same superuser problem. So went into settings for superuser and hit yes to have it installed I think in the system. I can't really tell you now because I can't get back into the watch at all.. I know it said to reboot immediately after and that if SU did not show up to go to the Google play store to reinstall or to open it from there or something...I'm not sure what. In any event, after SU did its thing, I powered off and on powering back on, it will not get past the Omate TrueSmart screen. Nor can I turn it off. Can anybody help me? For now I have it in the cradle so it doesn't lose power, since I cannot turn it off.
I know I can take the battery out, but I wanted to consult before I do anything more.

If you had ADB enabled, try plugging into your computer and see if you can launch an adb shell which will give you more restoration options. You may be able to undo your changes from the command line, or at the least reboot into recovery mode.
Without ADB, your options are to pull the battery or wait till it drains naturally.

Just a follow-up to the above, in case anyone lands in the same place, I did take the back off, remove the battery for just a moment, and then put the back back on. (I doubted, since it was frozen, that connecting to my PC would help, so i didn't try that. ) To my delight, everything was as I had left it, save that the gestures GMD app now loaded. (I made my font small, as recommended above, and was able to ok super user this time.) I had expected after removing the battery, to have to rebuild/reload everything from scratch,but that didn't happen.
Thanks to all for your help.
Guys! I need help please! I have an Lg Optimus F3, and today early in the morning i downloaded some random game to play, don't remember the name, but it kinda froze my phone, so i hit the home key, and then all these messages popped up saying, "This application has stopped working" for every single app.
Then, my phone turned off, and now every time i try to turn it on it takes like 30 minutes to show the LG logo, then after another 15 or so eventually loads the actual boat up menu, and after about another 5 loads the home screen.
Settings are also being stupid. I try to go into Security and they force close. And the home screen won't load.
I've only had it since like september, so it's too early for a new phone.
I did a factory reset when it wouldn't turn on, so now it's in stock, just like when i first got it. But it still won't work.
Anyone have any suggestions please? I just want it to boot up fast, and start working like normal again.

You will have to flash a kdz (stock firmware) file via LG Flash tool (R&D Test Tool). You will find the needed informations HERE.
Also, if you aren't sure what the name of it is, you should be able to go to the Play Store via any browser and log in and look at your apps. You should be able to tell from there. This might not help you get your phone running again, but if you let others know you had trouble with it, it might be helpful to others.

Thanks for the help guys. Didn't work thought. I just contacted LG, and they told me to send in the phone, and they should be able to fix it. Thank you though.
What didn't work?
Hey everyone!
I picked up a Gear S about a week ago and until today, I've had no problems. I took the watch off charge this morning and everything was working as fine, used some apps etc, no issues. Then I checked my phone for updates and saw that the Gear Manager app had an update and I installed it. Since then, the screen on my Gear S has been constantly turning on and off. It will turn for about 9 seconds, then switch off and back on 2 seconds later. Turning the screen on manually works but everything is pretty much frozen. I can periodically get as far as the pedometer (because there's an icon for it on the home screen) or to the Apps menu but no further and then the screen will switch itself off.
I'm not sure whether an update to the Gear Manager app should affect the watch itself but I know that when I wiped my phone a few days ago and went to set up the Manager again, it factory reset the watch so I assume there is a direct connection between the software. I've tried disabling both Bluetooth and the remote connection to check if Gear Manager is causing the screen to behave strangely but it's still turning on and off. It's impossible to do a soft reset through the Gear S itself as the screen switches off before I can get to settings and I've tried doing a hard reset but nothing works.
I tried searching on Google for anyone having similar issues and the only thread I can find was posted on Android Central (yesterday I think) with a few people saying that they're having the same problem which makes me thing that the update to Gear Manager is the issue.
Edit: The only screen that doesn't seem to be affected is the PIN lock screen. Screen switches off there as normal and does not come back on.
Edit 2: I've never reset the Gear S before (and I only noticed the factory reset mentioned above after it was finished) but when I attempt to do a hard reset, the watch just reboots as normal without anything happening and all info / data is still there. I presume this really shouldn't be the case?
UPDATE: I'm an idiot / Samsung's instructions on how to do a hard reset are awful.
I decided to Google how to do a hard reset and discovered that when in the Recovery Menu, you need to hold down the Power button to choose an option (Samsung's instructions just tell you to press the Power button until you highlight what you want and I assumed it would automatically choose that after a few seconds because the phone would restart for me). Watch is now factory reset and so far the screen issue appears to be resolved. Another four hours of transferring music it is then.
@BOZG can you post a link to that thread?
I have the Same problem. Sometimes changing a clock face or installing/uninstalling a program seems to make it stop. I have yet to find a good consistent solution. Restarts etc. don't help. Hard reset will fix it but last time I just changed settings on and off and powered the phone on and off and eventually it stopped.
It seems related to when the phone is connected remotely over a cell network. I have the AT&T unlocked with a T-Mobile regular line, not the wearable line since I have a 5 for $100 business plan and the 5th line was not being used. Doubt that makes a difference though.
Followup:
Just now I had the watch off and charged to 100%. Powered up with phone off. Same issue. Watch face loads, the hands change to the current time, then it slides down the screen and looks like a reload because when it comes back up the time isn't correct. The hands reset to the right time. This happens a few times. I power the phone up. Bluetooth connects. I open the gear manager on the phone and it stops.
Will try to repost if that's repeatable. I hope they fix it because it burns quite a bit of battery when it happens. It gets warm so it's running the CPU a lot whatever it is.
allow to power down

samsung gear s screen on and off..looping
There you go. Not much to read there though as it's just me and OP. The problem re-emerged for me after a few days again so I was forced to do another hard reset to actually use the watch. I noticed it when I woke up in the morning and noticed that another update had been pushed to the Gear app. That's twice now that this has happened shortly or immediately after the Gear app was updated.
I haven't been able to uninstall an app / change clock face to see if it works as the watch is completely unusable when it happens to me. The Gear app registers that it's connected but it's impossible to change anything from there either and if I turn the watch off and back on again, the Gear app will no longer connect.

Not sure if I've actually tried letting the battery drain. I'll try that the next time it happens (if it happens).
I had the same problem after the update, a reboot didn't solve the problem. Eventually the battery drained. After a recharge most is fine but I never know which watch face will suddenly appear.
Same issue again. Didn't see the Gear app updating but there was an update released the day before. Going to switch off auto-updates and see if it definitely the problem. Just seems too coincidental that this problem starts right after an update is released for the Gear App.

Started doing it again yesterday so let the battery die and charged it fully and it didn't help. Left it on the box overnight and brought it to a Samsung Service Centre this morning and of course it was working again when I took it out of the box! Left it with them anyway so I'll see what happens.
I've had my Gear S a few weeks and it has also started doing this, I will give some of the suggestions here a go.....
EDIT: So opening the Gear Manager App once Bluetooth was connected brought my Gear S back to life. Phew!
It's only entered this state after I turned it off at night and then turned it back on in the morning - so it had been off roughly 8 hours. Upon turning it on the screen would cycle from the right time and notification numbers and the wrong time and wrong notification numbers too off again.
@ BOZG - Just wondering if you got your S back yet and if so, were they able to tell you what was causing this on/off problem. Mine just started doing it yesterday.
Also, how did you find the "Samsung Service Centre"?
holding the screen seems to cause it...
Had to send mine to Samsung for a new charging cradle and they updated the software to latest, when i got it back it seemed fine. Then i was messing about with it and was holding the screen to my chest for a while and that seemed to cause it to happen. It seems to be the screens gets too much activation and it flips out. I think this is what started the problem last time it happened.1
Switching to power saving mode seems to fix it for me... have to wait until it gets low on battery and when the low bat warning comes on, switch then... leave for a bit then switch back to normal.
I called Samsung Thursday and they sent me a UPS label and told me to send the watch, charging cradle and AC charging cord back in for service. She told me it takes about 7-14 days. We shall see.
Happy to have found this. </rant>I'm starting to get enough of this Samsung stuff. I had the note 2 and now I have the note 4 and gear S. That is mote then 1000 euro of equipment. And today when I tried the restore to fix this, both the phone and the watch rebooted. Crazy that they can not build good software and hardware for this price. </rant>
To me it seems that is freezes somehow when this happens. It kept jumping back to 22:10 time and changed to the watch-face and settings keep rolling back. It seems to happen to me, when the watch is off for some hours. The samsung way... no update to fix this.
solved for me
hi first of all sorry if i do any mistakes because English is not my language
i had similar problem and i found the solution at least in my case . THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH THE GEAR S
all was ok using 4.4.2 kitkat on my note 3 before few months i upgrade with lollipop 5 official from sammobile via odin
from that moment the problems begin with the reconnection of the gear with the note
long time to connect and no auto reconnection only manual by turning off-on the bluetooth
i was boring to do format to the note3 so i left it as it
few weeks ago probably of gear manager update the gear start freezing and the screen turning on and off
first i do a factory reset and the gear was ok for a while but after it do the same but the next time the screen was not ok the colors was different so i send to service in Athens
the service in Athens is very fast and very helpful , is one of the reasons that i will difficult go with other manufacture , so they return me the gear saying that they change the motherboard and now there is new imei
but the gear that they send me was brand new except the band and the box. BUT after some time the same problem ..... i call them and they tell me to send it back so i send it and i receive it again but this time the say that the watch is ok
GUESS NOW .... i turn it on and after a while of the connection with my note AGAIN the same problem the screen on and off and freezing plus was overheat underneath
i was ready to call them and to say few words but they was closed ..... then i search the net and i found this post and i thing probably is not the gear the problem ,no hardware problem, i decide to do a test
i download the last working rom to my phone 4.4.2 and magically the problem disappears .... but now there is a software update on my phone lollipop 5 so i do the update and i was ready if the phone cause again the same problem
to return and stay with 4.4.2 But now all is ok the problem solved .... now is more of 24h and all are ok
i hope this will work for you also
Same problem
I have the same issue exactly - Note 4 with latest lollipop upgrade - it is very frustrating......I don't particularly want to have to move back an OS just to use the watch !

Ok but doing a downgrade and all working ok you can do update again.... i am not with 4.4.2 i went to the latest 5.0 for me now and all are ok.
Maybe something was wrong with the update procedure.
UPDATE
the touch function of the 2nd gear stop working so i send it back and they send me new device
for a few days all was ok . But today when i restart the phone while the gear was disconnected the problem with screen turning on repeatedly appears again .
for sure is not problem of the gear , this is the 3rd device in my hands, something is wrong with the gear manager software .
i have also reconnection problems .... if the phone is far away and they lost Bluetooth connection the most of the times i must reconnect manually , the gear say disconnected but the note think is still connected
I wonder has anyone tried to reset the watch as a stand alone device and see if the problem happens? I know you might lose a lot of the blue tooth functionality but I think I will test it and see if the problem still happens.
Evening all!
I managed to brick an Ulefone S10 Pro by trying to flash a rom onto it which ended in a brief error message and then the screen went black.
Since then, it wont boot up. There is just a black screen and it vibrates briefly as if it's starting up but then nothing, before repeating ad infinitum.
When I connect it to a computer, the computer makes the connection sound, then a few seconds later, the disconnection sound. Nothing is shown on the phone nor the PC at this time.
I have no clue what to do as it doesnt stay connected to the computer long enough to be recognised before disconnecting and nothing appears on the phone screen. Ive tried disconnecting the battery and connecting to the computer without it but the same thing happens
Haylp! :laugh:

I've been stalking this forum for a few years now, from back before all the pop ups, but for the first time i'm stumped. Here's the rundown: i broke my pixel 6. not terribly heartbroken, the phone is ****, everything it does "well" is only moderate on any other phone i've owned.... sorry, digression. Anyway, screen is completely black and unresponsive to touch. screen is locked with 6 digit pin. I know the pin. but i cant enter it because the unresponsive screen. Phone gives haptic feedback when a wireless mouse is plugged into a multi port adapter, which i bought intending to plug the phone into an hdmi port... but back to the pixel 6 being a ****ty phone, i have to install an app to do so, since the phone doesn't do it natively.....which i cant do, because it seems that while usb debugging may be on (adb detects the phone) i cant authorize the computer.... even though ive done it a hundred times, always clicking "always allow from device" sorry, digression again. i just want to get my **** off of this phone. guys at cell phone store are either incapable or incompetent, because they say they need touchscreen access. i have otg adapter, multiport adapter, wireless keyboard/mouse....can anyone help me?

you see my dilemma?
You may be able to project your screen with a wired dock (see https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2865484?hl=en). By following the directions and begging for or borrowing a USB-C dock from someone, you should be able to get your stuff off your device, especially as you can connect a mouse to the dock if touch doesn't work.
The other alternative that may work for you is to go into fastboot (long press power to shut off the device, then press and hold volume down while pressing and holding power) and use ADB to backup your device, including the storage. See https://www.technipages.com/how-to-backup-your-entire-android-device for details, and pay attention to the -shared flag.
