Understand the Dual Display Glitch
- The TicWatch Pro features a dual-layer display with an AMOLED screen and a low-power FSTN screen. This glitch often occurs when the transition between these two displays is not smooth or gets stuck.
- The glitch can manifest as the display freezing, not switching between modes, or showing one screen constantly.
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
- Restart the Watch: The simplest solution is to reboot the device. Press and hold the power button until you see the restart option. Choose it to refresh the system.
- Check for Updates: Go to the watch settings and ensure it’s running the latest software version. Software updates often fix bugs and improve functionality.
- Reset to Factory Settings: If the glitch persists, consider performing a factory reset. This will erase all data on your watch, so make sure to back it up first. Go to Settings > System > Disconnect & Reset.
Advanced Solutions
- Calibrate Display: On some occasions, the dual display may require calibration. This option might not be directly available, but installing third-party apps that offer screen tests can help recalibrate the display function.
- Check Ambient Mode Settings: Ensure that your settings allow for proper switching between displays. Adjust brightness and 'Always On' settings in the watch display settings.
- Battery Optimization: Disable battery saver mode if it’s impacting the display switches or causing delays between transitions. Battery settings are important for the seamless operation of dual displays.
