Apple Watch: All the Little Things! [watchOS 4.3 beta]

How do you respring?

Hold down the power button and the crown

Hold down the power button and the crown

That technically forces a restart not a respring, but yeah, good pointer!

How do you respring?

You hold the side button until the power off screen comes up and then you hold the side button until it kills the app.

That's a force quit rather than a respring.

I thought think there's a respring, although I've noticed the watch can respring itself sometimes (shows the apple logo, everything is back to normal in 10 seconds rather than the 2 min+ wait time for actual boot up)

Folks, look at the password. 10 numbers take the whole space, what is another 16 plus the periods etc going to take? Put about 30 apps on your watch and push the stem. Try typing. No brainer in my mind. Besides the dictate works great on my watch. A 1000% better than I could type.

Sexting while on a crowded bus would be a tad awkward...

Has anyone been able to update to watchOS 2.0 Beta 3 yet? I can't get it to show up when checking for software updates in Watch companion app.

Have you installed the profile?

 

[brianld]

Have you installed the profile?

Yes, installed it again this morning when the new betas were released.

 

[BaggieBoy]

watchOS 2 beta 3 showed up without the need to install a new profile for me.

watchOS 2 beta 3 showed up without the need to install a new profile for me.

Just showed up for me now. I guess the key is patience since it didn't show up right away.

And its just bricked my Watch KILL ME NOW

Try restarting it by holding down both buttons at the same time for 5 seconds.

 

[zman5]

Still no available update for me

 

[BaggieBoy]

After an hour so after the update completed, got a message displayed saying that Activation Lock was now enabled.

Tweaked passcode screen-

Tweaked passcode screen-

That is going to be useful, unfortunately my fingers are slightly larger in diameter than a drinking straw which made inputting the passcode a lot of fun...

Clicking the digital crown on the app screen used to center the screen to the clock face app. It now immediately returns to the clock face.

I'm in favor of this.

new music logo-

new music source selector-

 

[Weelious225]

Yeah, they describe that in the "about watchOS 2" page. I thought that was lame too - having to reach out in the dark to touch the screen/crown to switch it on. Probably not enough juice for charging and always on display. Meh.

I'm sure the cable provides enough power to charge with the screen on. If anything I'd bet they're doing this to avoid OLED burn-in.

Ok this is weird. On b1, my Watch would randomly reboot. B2 fixed this. B3 just crashed back to the Apple logo and was just stuck there. I had to hold both the crown and friends button in to reboot it.

This is the best thing ever.

You don't really have to touch the screen for it to turn on. Just shake the table/nightstand that the watch is on.

I use this trick for my night stand and it works great. It turns on even at the lightest motion it detects.

 

[thebeatsalive]

So how is B3 going guys?

Anyone else having problems getting beats 1 to play when you select it from the music app on the watch. Keep getting an error on my iPhone stating "Unable to start station, there was a problem starting the station. Try again later".
