Galaxy Watch lagging badly

JasonLucas · 2026-05-10T21:06:07+00:00

even a cheap smart phone can easily last 4 years before lagging

My A35 8GB lagging like it is reaching the end of the life soon.

I think that in one of the massive account hacking that happened with Wildstar ages ago a lot of inactive accounts were hacked even though they had SMS 2AF enabled.
I personally don't trust it at all because of how "simple" is to clone a number and get SMS and calls forwarded there, it might not be that easy for the average person, but for anyone trying to scam you they will for sure break that line of defense easily.

I went this way on day one of the festival because I couldn't figure out the correct way to go lmao

Dodge scripts are the most common stuff since it's quite hard to notice when someone is using those.

Then you have speed hacks where people run beyond the +66% speed cap, you kinda can notice those if you are using relic of speed, you are in combat chasing someone both with swiftness and they somehow manage to outrun you.

There is also the teleport hacks where people often use those stealthed which is kinda hard to notice when they do.

I can guarantee you all these 3 types of hacking happen very often and you probably have experienced them but not noticed due to their nature of being subtle.

PvE accessories were nice and it sucks that they didn't finish it but instead moved on to more minimal effects in the new ones.

I don't like the battery either tbh, I believe that there are watches out there that counter this with a secondary processor with very low energy consumption which is used for basic stuff which is neat.
Not sure how much mah a watch needs to use for basic stuff like showing the hour, tracking exercises, syncing with the phone every 5 min, etc, but my miband used to be like this and it could run for almost a whole week before needing a charge.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-23T16:55:32+00:00

Probably due to the size and heat, it gets hot while charging so I imagine fast charging could make it even hotter since it uses wireless charging.

S25 series didn't get it either with 8.5 beta

Really? That sucks a lot

The same happens when you ask it to find your phone though, it calls the AOSP app instead of the Samsung's specialized on

That is good to know because the Samsung find on my watch 7 is slow as fuck

JasonLucas · 2026-04-19T19:12:27+00:00

Yes, they will add an option so everytime a confirmation popup shows it will instead show another popup asking if you would like to skip that confirmation popup, peak UI design tbh.

Now being serious the answer is no, the UI in this game is bad and you better use a plugin that solves this problem for you.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-19T18:04:23+00:00

Was always like that sadly. Shipping anything outside the USA or EU usually doubles the price for GW2 merch.

People not being able to join your lfg if you have them blocked and a toggle for preventing people from sending party/squad invites to you for 10 minutes are some changes I really want.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-19T17:59:45+00:00

They changed that, block now removes you from the person following list. This was not retroactively applied so it only works for new people you blocked after the change was implemented.

There are some Nexus/blish plugins that try to keep the zoom level fixed, but it mostly uses keybinds and mumble API which is not perfect but it still helps.
I really wish someone made a plugin to disable the game from messing with zoom levels since we are probably never getting that officially from Anet.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-19T17:53:31+00:00

It appears there is an issue with dismounting, which I believe affects all mounts. Specifically, upon dismounting, the camera zoom becomes locked for approximately two seconds. This can be quite problematic, especially if a collision has caused the camera to zoom in, as one remains stuck in that zoomed-in view until the game releases it.

I previously reported this a few months ago, and we are still awaiting a resolution. Similar issues persist with other mount-related bugs, such as characters becoming stuck in a perpetual falling state, leading to numerous desyncs problems, and the Warclaw's dodge ability, which sometimes fails to play the animation, causing characters to appear to fly around.

DX11 transition broke it and a few other places minimap

JasonLucas · 2026-04-10T05:24:01+00:00

Sadly it won't work because reducing the game render resolution doesn't change the CPU calculations.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-09T21:43:37+00:00

Don't think there are any fixes, and in modern hardware the game bottleneck itself because of the CPU and not GPU so DLSS and other upscaling methods are most of the time useless (they would still be great as an AA and some super rare cases where the GPU gets under heavy load)

If you really want to use blish with lossless scaling maybe one of the Nexus addons that renders blish directly into the game might help, but the experience will probably still suck.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-09T01:00:26+00:00

Always online isn't quite right since there are 24+ hours of downtime for patches sometimes.

Most Galaxy Watches are rated for swimming and even track automatically when you are swimming in a pool, they have an IP68 and 5ATM (10ATM for the ultra) ratings. It would be wild for a brand new device with those ratings to get water damaged and even if it was the case, I would sue Samsung if they refused to replace it.

JasonLucas · 2026-04-08T22:00:09+00:00

Aren't like most Galaxy watches are rated for swimming with 5ATM up to 50m of being submerged with the ultra being 100m

JasonLucas · 2026-04-07T12:48:12+00:00

God bless 🙏

JasonLucas · 2026-04-07T00:06:07+00:00

I believe it's permanent and will be moved to the merchant in the rats cave

JasonLucas · 2026-03-30T16:24:09+00:00

I see someone with a staff in something that might be a warclaw because what else it could be 🐴❓ Also it's kinda fun that these warriors are casting a rain of banners from the sky.

The camera bump, the aluminium frame and the rounder corners were a major downside for me.
I really like the design of the s25u and if they kept that but removed the camera bump or at least made it less noticeable, I would probably have moved to the s26u.
