Sync Issues: Unpublished Faces Won’t Transfer to Galaxy Watch 8 Classic

Facer Creator
1

I have the possibility to test faces on a new Galaxy 8 watch classic with wear os 6 but I cannot send (or test) my unpublished watch faces to my watch. I tried on an iPad, iMac, and two PCs, but none of them were able to send the face to the watch when it’s not published (no error message either). I can only send published faces from my phone, which is not workable since you can’t test anything before publishing.

Another major issue is that the Facer app on the watch only allows me to store one watch face and to choose only from the top faces. I can’t even sync my own faces directly from the watch, only through the phone app, and as mentioned, not from the web creator (also not via beta).

Try uninstalling the facer app from your watch and then reinstalling it. Make sure the watch model you have selected in mobile app is correct. Also check Wear app is connected to watch (Enable wifi and bluetooth on watch)

For WearOS 6, the Facer app is really nothing more than a mechanism to get the watch face on your watch. Every time you sync a WFF watch face, it sits in the same place as any face you download from the Google Play Store. There are no favorites, or whatever they’re called. The Facer app doesn’t really have any functionality other than getting the APK file to the watch.

Not on my watch, I can select faces from the category Top Faces. What watch are you using?

Yes did that, But I can only sync from my phone. When I use another device it is not working. I think you have a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic also, and you can sync from your pc?

Not tried on pc. But on my Samsung tablet it syncs okay. Sometimes i have to click the sync button twice (i might be too impatient to wait)

Weird, on my watch it does nothing except wait for a new Face to show up after a sync has been triggered. It allows nothing else.

Maybe that’s a something unique to 2024 Ultras.

Just throwing this into the discussion: I tried all afternoon to get a WFF design draft to sync for testing on Watch 8. No joy until hours later when Samsung pushed an update. After the update the watch face was there. Coincidence or not?

Have tried syncing unpublished watchface from Macbook chrome browser, and it is working fine for me on to Galaxy 8 Watch Classic.

Thanks for testing! Then it is something in my environment/router, still no luck for me, I have 2 more watches on the Samsung app, maybe that is the problem.
