Can't get watch face on my watch

Just downloaded facer on my sony sw3 and I’m having the same problem… Syncing but nothing happens

Hey @Cburke,

Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, could you check out the answer I gave above, and see if that fixes it. If it doesn’t please report it back here so we can try and fix this for you.

Hi Tim !

This is now fixed, not sure how probably the latest update did it!

Thanks for looking into this, appreciate it ! Fan of Facer :smile:

Hi Tim, I too am having trouble syncing faces over to my watch and have tried all of your sugesstions. I have also been having a lot of trouble with the Creator. It started about 3 or 4 days ago while I was designing a new Christmas themed face. It’s almost like the Creator gets stuck while loading. Most times the layers panel on the left will not appear at all and I am unable to click on anything on the screen. Then there are other times when it all appears to load ok but then the Creator jumps back and forth from 12am to 11:59pm on the Time Machine and again I am unable to click on anything. My only option is to exit the Creator completely. This is happening on new designs and also existing ones too. Since this happened, I have not been able to sync any faces to my watch, even ones that are not my design.

My details are as follows

Version of Facer - 2.6.1_1107-(1107)
Version of Android and Android Wear - Android 6.0.1 & Android Wear 1.5.0.3358953
Model of phone - Samsung Galaxy S7
Model of watch - LG Watch Urbane

On my laptop I am using Windows 10 and always use Chrome but I have also tried the Creator in Microsoft Edge. Unfortunately it is doing the same thing.

Please Help!!

Cheers, :smile:

Hi, I had exactly same problem and it was because of “Messages for Android Wear” app. Maybe you have some app that want to sync very often and making problem.

I’m also having this issue

Gs7 with haueii watch

oops !! Same issue started again. It shows Loading Watchface and thats it, it takes you back to the same watch face which is already set. Something bad is happening with your updates, because changing the watch faces from Android Wear or Zen Watch manager is successful.

I experienced this problem, and discovered the solution was to manually change the face on my Founder Q1 to the ‘Facer’ option, which selected my currently-set Facer watchface, and from there I pushed my desired face which solved it.

I am new to Facer. Just added it 2 days ago and I am having the same issue. I have not created a thing, but cannot sync any of the faces I have chosen. I have a Samsung Gear S2 and my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

I gather I am using the latest and greatest version of Facer, since I just added this to my list of apps 2 days ago.

I tried that too on my Gear S2 and that isn’t working either.

I have the same issue on my Gear S2 and Galaxy S7. All I keep getting is an error saying can not connect to watch. I’ve tried everything suggested so far.

Yep, having the same issue on my LG Urbane. Mine started about a month ago.

I’m having same problem. New to facer.
I’ve got Samsung gear s2 and Samsung s7edge.
Just keeps saying can’t connect to phone. If switch them both off t h en back on it will work but only once

I face the same issue on Gear S3 and Samsung S7 Android 6.0 latest version of Facer.

On first day of using everything work fine but overnight the My design page show only the watch name and FACER logo.

I try for a long time but not success, very strange it work fine on another page watch box, top chart, feature I still can sync and do everything without any issue except on My Design.

I try to reinstall both on mobile and watch but nothing better.

I don’t know how can I do to fix it.

Thank you.

Ok Facer, it’s been 4 months, you have an answers for us?

Same issue here.
Deleted all faces (except two) - solution? nope
Deleted app and reinstalled - solution? nope
Manually deleted all app data - solution? nope
Deleted app and did NOT reinstall - solution? nope, but I don’t care anymore. Some other apps provide more flexibility anyway and developers do take care of the users.

Earlier my tab froze every time with login and no way to get into the app. Froze every new start. It took a month for Facer to fix. I abandon (at least for a while).

Same issue. Got Asus zenwatch 2 and Facer today but unable to sync any watch faces. Faces from Android Wear work fine. Samsung S7

Hey all. I’ve been using Facer for several months and I’ve found a few options to try. Just “Heart” your favorites both free and paid as you browse and “heart” your favs… Much easier, obviously, but Needed. For y’all Newbies : we’ve All had to start from scratch at some time so here’s to you for at least asking but Listen & Try the different successes. Take the different “tries” to get your new Watchface on Your watch, damn it already!!! Ha! Somehow it will just Click one day. So, Manually choose the default Facer logo Watchface from your list of installed Faces on your watch. Now, personally, I’ve had more success going through the Facer app itself after checking that it was selected in Android Wear as the new face selection. (as an aside, you might have to sync multiple times to load the app to watch, but it Will show up within a ½ day, max.) Open the Facer app and tap on the Heart icon on the bottom and your saved favorites are all there. Select one and check its’ settings ( F° or C°, etc.). Now you’ll be on what I call the Main Screen as it’s where all the action is. Red Sync Button? Try turning on connectivity on the watch, cell or WiFi, and check your Bluetooth settings. Blue? Just tap, maybe 1 or more times, the icon just to the lower right side, and you’ll now have Your Watchface on Your Android Wear Watch! OK … Way too long (but I’m snookered already, Ha!)

Seriously, how is there anyone that has success with this application?

I stayed away from this app for so long, due to the poor reviews, but decided to try it anyway… I can load 1 watchface for every 12 that I try.

4 colleagues have the identical issue, all using Samsung S3 and S8+

We have tried every suggested fix to no avail. Set watch to non facer face, reset watch and app… Nothing works.

Such a waste. Colleagues have all deleted the facer app even though they are all (mobile app developers). I don’t know why I am still hanging around, as there are too many others facing the same issue, for it to be a (user error) thing.

If your having issues syncing a watch face please try the following. On the watch go to settings, then apps, select facer, then permissions. Inside there make sure receive complication data is activated.

Then use your normal watch app on your phone, and make facer active.

Then make sure facer is showing on your watch.

Now go to the facer app on your phone and activate the face you want.

It should apply within a few seconds.
