This was so helpful. I didn't realize this was a thing for everyone. I just thought I had a creepy watch, hahaha!
And here I though my watch was attempting mind control.
Thank you! I've just searched for this solution at 3.30am as it was driving me nuts. Looking forward to a better sleep tomorrow night!
Thank you for this! I know I'm almost 2 years after you posted it but it was super helpful.
Damn, you stayed up like all night to show us the light. Thanks for this I was wondering wtf that green light was doing since I already turned off the heart rate monitor.
thank you, you helped me, my issue was in the REM
Thanks for your information, and there's another cause of the light green it's the stress measure, you have to stop it from stress sitting
Ok good to know that... i had it already disabled
Ugh thank you as it was waking me up!
ikr.
Cheers mate all this time i been trying to figure out if to much water exposure has brought the watch to flash green at any given moment and wont stop... even when in the shower i would remove it only to see it trying to flash green till i shake it but thanks helped alot still hope the watch isnt messed up i treat it well except in rain or washing the dishes or bathing a pet... but still idk how much water exposure can it handle...
Dont worry about water it will be fine it is waterproof... i even used the old gear s3 in the shower with no adverse effects and it wasn't waterproof
Thanks i was wondering why its still on at night even i turned off automatically. Thanks for the info.
This is so helpful thank you so much I was so worry I just got the active 2 watch and It started flashing out of no were I though it was not working 😂
Cool information thanks for sharing
Thanks for posting! Had it to measure every 10 minutes hopefully having it in manual/never mode will help with battery drain program!
I don't like flashing at 3AM, I'm all flashed out by then. :D
Lol
By all the made up gods thank you. I care little for the sleep or health recording on these watches (mines the Active 2 (yes I am aware of the irony)), but trying to find the settings, well all I can say is a big thanks.
super helpful, thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for, cheers👍
Cool, helpful video. Thanks :)
Brilliant! thank you so much Mr A
Thank you so much! Your videos clear and quick. Is there any way to do this from my phone, my vision is not that great and my fingertips don't work well on the watch. Thank you again!
I don't think there is sorry maybe someone can help you find the settings?
You saved me! Thank you
I wonder how many people are having their sleep ruined by this function?
Good information!
Thank you alot pal. I was worried that something was wrong with it, started thinking of returning it. I'd like to measure my rem sleep from time to time but i guess i'd have to be prepared with more battery. Also if someone knows- around what percentage does this constant measure take during an 8h sleep cycle ? I'd answer when i find out myself but if anyone has observed that already it would be helpfull to know.
Thank a lot! It worked!
The green sensor constantly on, gave me a red burn mark on my wrist. Unfortunately the video didn't help me. Found out some aftermarket watch faces will cause the green sensor to run continuously, no matter what your settings are.
Very god you helped me❤❤💋💋💋💋
Very helpful because constant green flashing makes my skin red and itchy
I just got a Galaxy watch today and I work graveyards. I was wondering why my watch had the green light going and overheating. It killed it so fast! 😅
I know the actual minecraft will never come to galaxy watch, but someone should make a minecraft-like game where you can look by turning the bezel and you look up and move with tiny buttons on screen, maybe you can interact with blocks like how you do on phone. It would be tiny but super fun and it would probably impress me more than monster vampire does.
Gotcha! Thanks
might wanna update this. Tizen is different than this software version.
can u provide and updated version of this pls ty
That only works if your watch is registered under a plan. If you're just using it for Bluetooth tethered to another phone you can't turn it off because basically it's in demo mode. They want you to register the watch with the plan so that you can have full control over the apps. Otherwise your stuck with the blinking light which can't be turned off. Maybe in the phones settings. But once you turn off Bluetooth on your phone or computer it reverts back to default if you're out of the zone for 10 minutes
how to do it on the new galaxy watch 7?
can't find the option to do it.
Can you help me what does that watch status indicator means in top
I just traded in my Galaxy watch for the 5 Pro. It doesn't give me the same options as the Galaxy watch. The only health data I want to measure are my steps, which it does, but I get an on-screen reminder every 50 minutes to get up and walk and then another on-screen message when I've been walking that pops up saying "Great.....". The closest settings for any of the health apps are to measure manually, but not turn off or disable, activities to detect (I've turned that off) and set inactive time from midnight to 11:59 pm. I would like to disable anything that causes the green sensor to go on or at least minimize it and the "time to get up and walk" notifications. I don't even see how to access that in the notifications setting. Are you able to help me with this?
Do you have the 5 pro now? I haven't looked at it in detail yet
The inactivity time should be set via the Samsung health app on the watch go to settings in there and see if you can find it
@@MrAnalytical Thank you for your response. I got the 5 pro about a week ago. I really like it.
@@MrAnalytical I found it and set it from midnight to 11:59 pm. Should I go in the opposite direction and set it for, let's say an hour? I'm just trying to stop or at least minimize the green sensor from flashing and any reminders to "time to get moving." I did it on the Galaxy Watch but I can't seem to do it on the 5 Pro.
I have a galaxy active 2 that sometimes even in day HR is flashing and doesnt stop until i remove it,from my hand.It seems that its detecting that i'm sleeping somehow and its working...I was wearing it on my sleep today and after i woke up t was still working,it seems that its lagging a bit,and it doesnt instantly stop with moving.I stopped HR today and will see if it will continue or not.
Useless because I am not getting a notification. Must be a way to do that from settings direct
my GW4 classic dont work on this... still showing green light
This doesn't work any more, I wish I could shut it off altogether. Samsung seems to have disabled some of these settings
Damn Samsung. I have no option to turn off Sleep monitoring and the bloody green light keeps flashing and draining battery. Seriously 38% battery used to flicker green light that serves no purpose for me!! They should always make everything optional and easy to disable. Shouldn't think you're wiser than the user.
Same. Have you figured a way out to disable sleep monitoring?
How to disable Heart Rate sensor during Walking ? Even if i did all the setting described in the video it is automatically measuring Heart Rate during Walking or Workout?
How I disable all the apps, sensors and display on my +300 watch?
I'm sorry but your watch face spins??? How? Thank you
Do you mean the bezel that rotates?
That stupid green light kills my watch battery within a few hours. How do I turn it off forever??
Try going to settings, apps, permissions, samsung health, and turn sensors to off
mine doesn't work, and the heart rate sensor doesn't work either. what should i do?, i need it to exercise
Is there never any green light under the watch?
@@MrAnalytical no, no green light appear 😣.
it happened after i showered with it, but the watch should be waterproof right
@@docholidays89 yes it is waterproof can you try resetting the watch and then do a heart rate test again. you can power it off and on again or else go to settings general then reset
@@MrAnalytical I do anything and still not working, Very bad, now my LCD is striped. All that happened after I showered without releasing it, this is really crazy considering this device should have military grade 😭
@@MrAnalytical I want to ask one thing, whether the device that I bought in America can be repaired at Samsung Asia Service Center?
I turned both off sleep and heart and still the green light flashes
If you have done all in the video then the watch is loose on your wrist and it will flash to see if it is being worn tighten it to your wrist when it flashes next and it should stop in about 30 seconds
@@MrAnalytical thank you
How about to sleep without the watch :)))
@@JPAll good point lol
Replaced the battery on mine this week and ever since the green heart rate monitor lights falsh continuously whether the watch is on or off my wrist. I have changed heart rate monitor to manual only but it has made no difference to the continuous flashing. And on latest firmware version there is no option to turn off slleep monitoring. Anyone know how to fix this?
Try going to settings. Apps. Permissions. Samsung health. And turn off sensors permission
@@MrAnalytical Thanks, but since posting my comment I tried powering off and on my watch, and that has fixed it.
Even after this setting, the green light still flashes when I am active
Is it not measuring you heart rate during your activity? You could go to permissions and turn of sensor permissions for s health
My heart rate monitor say measure manually but doesn't give me the never option??
Really manually is the same thing as never... just dont press measure in the widget and it wont record your heartrate
@@MrAnalytical thanks 😊
Mine did it all night when I was not wearing it.
You're seeing the light because your watch is not tight enough, duhhh. I dont see the light bc its on my wrist the correct way.
I strapped it on SO TIGHT when it woke me last night and i could still see the light coming through it... and if it's too tight, i bothers me and i still can't sleep... so yeah.
@@roxanamaria2421 i dont know how yall are seeing the light lol. If its tight or on there good, you shouldn't be. Thats weird
anybody know how to check previous/history sleep pattern data by day?
I have the galaxy watch active 2, I want to turn off rem sleep however the three dots on the right side do not show up to edit the rem sleep toggle
I feel your pain I have the same issue on the new galaxy watch 3 I called samsung 3 times on this and they havent a clue... it must be a software bug and hopefully the next update fixes it whenever that may be...
@@MrAnalytical yeah
Swipe up through all the graphs and data. At the bottom is a settings 'cog' icon. Click that then you can turn off rem sleep detector. Same with heart rate but te off swtting is 'manual'
what happened to you or your channel? no videos?
Been busy with everything else and didn't fancy the new Galaxy watch active yet... maybe soon
Mr Analytical okay, maybe you can do videos on the galaxy watch active2? that is a great watch... the galaxy watch2 is i think going to be released on february with the s11 launch. thanks for responding to my comment!
@@goudendynamiethd2117 oh thats good I would prefer the Galaxy watch format so I will probably skip the watch active 2 it's not my style...
bro this is not working now
My watch flashes even when i remove it and keep it on the table 🙄😐
It flashes to try and find a wrist but should stop when it can find one
This thing was killing my battery
My watch still flashes green even when not on my wrist
It will check for presence of a wrist from time to time but that should be all
@mr analytical, much like me, you are the hairy end of the spectrum when it comes to wrist hair. The upshot of this is my now 2 year old and pretty much useless Galaxy watch doesn't stay on - the Always On Display (AOD) - the reason the watch was bought, never worked. After a bit of research (that led me here), I discovered that even when you tell the watch to always stay on, it will only do that if it detects a human next to it, using the heart rate monitor (I think). Being somewhat more monkey-like (I just re-compared wrists) in terms of hair than most, and not fancying shaving my wrist, the watch is - excuse the French here - (*@&*^#. So I followed your video to turn off HR, then left it for a few minutes [Samsung allows me a maximum 5 minutes screen timeout), but it still went off:( I flashed the watch, but same problem. Do you know any cheeky fixes to avoid your screen dimming all the time?
