LG G Watch R: Why won't my watch turn on?

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 05:14:46 -0700

Even after charging my watch for a reasonable amount of time, it won't turn on. When I press the power button, the screen stays black. What could be the problem?

LG G Watch R: Top half of watch face is flashing.

Sun, 22 Oct 2017 02:07:32 -0700

When I get my watch in the morning from the charging port and wake it up. A half circle that goes from 9 across to 3 to the top, comes up and just starts flashing. I can still see my watch through the silver half circle and can still swipe through it to get to the settings. I can also still see the bottom half of my watch no problem. When I restart the watch that sometimes fixes it. Sometimes I have to power down the watch and let it sit for a few minutes. Then other times I have to do a factory reset to make it stop. It started two days after receiving my watch.

Does anyone know what could be causing this and a way to fix it?

Thanks,

Greg T

LG G Watch R: What can I do about my scuffed watch?

Mon, 29 Jan 2018 09:11:54 -0700

I have recently (accidentally) scraped my Lg g watch r against a wall. A lot of the black paint has come off the bezel and in parts it has gone down to metal. How can I get this fixed? All it needs is some paint. There is no actual physical damage, just the fact that in places the paint has come off. I've spoken to LG and offered to pay for it, but it's not something their repair team can do.

LG G Watch R: Watch only works on the charger

Mon, 02 Jul 2018 04:29:30 -0700

I have an lg g watch r and I loved it i don't want to get a new smart watch because this one looks the most similar to the watches I wear. My g watch worked all the time no problem one night I went to bed and when I woke up i saw it didn't charge so I tried to put it on again. That didn't work. Then I tried getting a new cradle that still didn't work. I've tried Factory reseting it and that hasn't helped either. The watch works completely normal and fine when it's on the cradle the moment I pull it off it shuts off. (It does the powe ring down screen not just turning straight to black) any suggestions on what to do next. I'm thinking I need to change the battery but it didn't even start to slowly get worse it just went from working normal to not working at all off the charger please help and if I do need to change the battery where would I find it because I've looked and I can't seem to find the battery.

LG G Watch: Why isn't my battery charging?

Thu, 29 Aug 2019 16:36:10 -0700

When the adapter is plugged into a working outlet and the watch is docked onto the charging station the watch does not "wake" and start booting up which indicates that the battery is charging.

LG G Watch: How can I troubleshoot a backlight problem (dim screen)?

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 07:38:57 -0700

Several months ago, my G Watch unfortunately went for a little swim and got water damage. I was able to remove the back and let it air dry for a couple days, after which the device seemed to work fine. The only noticeable issues I've had is a bit shorter battery life (but still enough to make it through a day) and a pretty dim screen. It is this second problem that I would love to fix.

I believe the issue has something to do with the backlight, but I have almost no knowledge of how that works or how I would go about troubleshooting/fixing it. The screen seems to have its full range of color, and the appearance of water under the screen disappeared a few days after I got it back up and running. The dimness varies from practically off to occasional full brightness (these moments are rare and usually fleeting). While dim, none of the software brightness controls have any effect, including the brightening of the screen when leaving ambient mode. I haven't been able to pinpoint anything that causes it to suddenly become bright for a while, but it has happened. For a while it would stay bright until I brought the watch out of ambient mode (by taking it off the charger, tapping the screen, or raising it as if to look at it), at which point it would immediately go dim again - a behavior I found particularly perplexing. However, I haven't seen this happen for a while. The most recent bright moment I had was after running around for a while (which may be a coincidence), and that time it actually started working as it was supposed to. Sadly, my excitement was short lived, as the screen went dim again the next day. I want to say the screen also stayed bright for a while after a cold day, but my memory is a bit foggier on that instance. It might have been a dream. :p I may be forgetting some details, but I'd be happy to answer questions that might help you pinpoint a cause for my problem.

TL;DR: My screen is dim after some water damage, and I would love some tips on troubleshooting and hopefully fixing the issue.
