<p>To everyone who recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4.</p>
<p>First, did you properly configure the SOS fall detection feature?
It's disabled by default. Run a test to verify it's working. If
you press the top button on the watch 3 times in a row it will
manually initial the SOS. You will have five seconds after you
press the button three times to cancel. Tell the person that is
your emergency contact in advance that you're running a test.<br>
</p>
<p>Some battery saving tips/tricks.<br>
</p>
<p>The default setting for checking your pulse is <font
color="#ff0000">EVERY 10 MINUTES!!</font> You can change this to
manual using the Galaxy wearable app. <br>
</p>
<p>Wi-Fi is on all the time only it's not needed all the time. You
can turn that off and only turn it on for a short while when the
watch needs software updates.</p>
<p>Close background apps! Every time you run an app on your watch it
remains in the background and there is an app in the application
list that lets you clear the background apps that you have
running. If you swipe up there is an icon in the apps for killing
background tasks. The proper app icon is blue with a white dot in
the middle. If you tap on this app you'll see a list of all the
apps running in the background and there's an option on the far
left to close all.<br>
</p>
<p>In Bixby or S Voice, turn off voice wake-up. There's no need to
have the watch constantly listening 24 hours a for the phrase "Hey
Bixby." <br>
</p>
<p>Personally, I disabled Bixby and replaced it with the Google
Assistant which is the same Google Assistant that you use on your
Android cell phone. It makes the watch respond to "OK/Hey Google".
There is a Wear OS Google Assistant app that can be "Side Loaded"
via developer mode. If you're interested in this, I can show you
how. I followed a video on YouTube along with having the
experience of installing Android apps on Windows 11.<br>
