Flaky 'Screen On' since 3.0

[stubee]

Since the 3.0 update, screen on via wrist turn, or button push is a flaky affair.    For example, pushing the button may turn it on, but most likely it will result in a black screen and require 3 more pushes to wake it up.   Even when/if it does display the chances are the HR is not displayed on the clockface immediately.

Anyone else see similar?  I've tried rebooting the device.

Clock face = Thexa

@stubee it's the 3rd party clockface. It's not optimized for 3.0 firmware. I recommend changing it to one of Fitbit originals to see if the issue persists.

Thanks..I'll give it a shot.  

Since the Fitbit Default clock faces are a bit lacking....do you know if there is a list of clock faces "optimized" (ie working) with 3.0?    maybe they should put an attribute in the list stating "working with 3.0".

It's a bummer as Thexa was one of the few clockfaces that showed time/steps at the sametime in a large readable font.

Hi, go to clock faces, all clock faces and search for "Minimal Analog" or "Classic", whichever you like more. they are compatible with the latest FW version. Just try them out, they can do much more than their name suggests. Besides that, both are very battery friendly as they both are very small in size, e.g. 27 to 35 kB's max. Tried them both myself and worked like a charm. Good luck.

BTW: 

Hi, this is a link to a maximally adjusted "Minmal Analog" clock face running under the new .30 version:

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/85944iE8F9E65E5A3B04DA/image-size/medium?v... . Several stats are shown by pressing on the current one. Just some extra information and prove that's working.

@stubee Unfortunately, there's no such list of optimized clockfaces. You can browse the all clockfaces online here, then choose one you like and install on your Versa. Hopefully it works. I'm personally using a collection of Lignite clockfaces (paid) which are nice and well-designed. Good luck!

[stubee]

Thanks all.

- Yep, the default clockfaces (from fitibit) work and I'll stick with one of those for now.

- I have those ignite clockfaces too, but unfortunately my eyesight isn't what it used to be, so I go with the bigger displays (for steps) when possible.

It's nice to have a responsive screen again.  I wonder if Fitbit gave the developers a heads up to the changes before the 3.0 switchover.

@stubee From Fitbit ones, I really like layers! D Happy New Year, guys!

ETA: Just noticed there's a 3rd party clockface called Layers Weather that was ripped from Fitbit original. You might give it shot if you care for the weather. Haven't tested it yet but as it is a new one, it should have been tested on 3.0.

Hi, thanks for the info. Just had a look at it, but I do not like the display of it, far too busy 

[Marrrmaduke]

@SunsetRunner hehehe it looks way better on Versa, but of course everything is a matter of preference. 😄 And the digits are huge! 🙂

[SunsetRunner]

Far too huge IMHO 

[Marrrmaduke]

@SunsetRunner hehehehe 😄

LOL,  BTW, Happy New Year!!!

Not sure if it is still a problem for you, but Thexa works on the 3.0 firmware now.

@EmTe Thanks for updating it, Terry.
