Syncing to watch

Now I can’t seem to transfer from www.facer.io creator now for some reason. So much for testing new watch faces now.

I had the same issue. I based my watch face on the blank template. It took forever to sync, and failed most of the time. I then decided to use the digital template and redo the face. No more issues…

That is high class Voodoo. I can not post pictures on the Community from my phone . It almost seems like Marvin has Indigestion and can not take any more grub. I am sure all these things are the result of serious changes to the way Facer operates the server. I think it is amazing what they have achieved so far . I just wish the bits that have changed were noted somewhere.
In the App previews in Beta there is a Power Icon when tapped gives an indication of the power draw in Ambient mode. No more AOD / DIM .

Thanks, I just tested a new face via the website. After about a minute, I received a message saying: unable to sync.

Quick update: it did eventually sync after a while, so it does work!

Yes . With all the changes right now we will get some Bugs for a while . One set of updates we got every face we had deleted back . Sadly I did not resave some . I always regretted deleting my early faces . A few days later they dissapeare again . Marvin having a Clear Out . :blush:

Thank you, I’ve asked in several places where to post issues, with ZERO responses.

Well, I can’t sync faces to my watch again. So much for “TRYING” test watch faces. What’s point in making a new face if we can’t sync to test them??? I haven’t made a successful watch face in about 3 days now. Insane!!! :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage: :rage:

This makes day 4 of not being able to sync faces from the website editor to do tests on a face Before publishing it.

Tried again to sync a face to my GW5 Pro from the editor, took 5 minutes and then get a sync error. INSANE!!!

Have you got the GW5 pro selected as your watch in the setting on the Phone App . You will not sync a face you played with on the BETA to your GW5 right now , what ever you try .

Yes, I have the proper watch selected in the phone app. It’s not the phone app I’m having a problem with.

“You will not sync a face you played with on the BETA to your GW5 right now”

So how are we supposed to test a face before publishing it then?

Yes . Another World . There you make what YOU want . but it is all Hard Coded . No Graphic user Inerface . The person I know who is using it got their insructions from an AI bot . I dont go there . Not clever enough to teach a robot what I want it to do .

I just meant the virtual stuff is easy. Not coding a watch face…LOL
