If you have had a big enough software crash (usually associated with phone’s that misbehave),
then you may need to wait for the batteries to run out if all else fails.
You can connect to the USB debugger and send a reset signal. Let me know if you need that.
Connecting the charger can cause a reset at the moment (because of a debugging signal that’s
on)
There is a way to remove and reinsert the battery. Let me know if you need that.
Trouble Shooting
If you notice any corruption of the display or slow reactions to the phone events, there may be
an issue with the particular phone you have. Try resetting the watch and see if it happens every
time. Let us know if it happens right away, after 10 minutes, or a day or a week along with the
description and your phone make/model/service provider/OS version.
Selecting the experimental functions like “music controls” can take over your buttons and
prevent you from using the base UI (like the LED). This is just experimental stuff right now.
Use the upper left button (button F) to check on your battery level. If your phone supports Sniff
mode like it should, this should last you ~4 days with today’s software.
Since we have the Reset pin on the back active, sweat can actually cause the reset right now.
If you notice your watch acting funny any you’re sweaty, take it off and see if it works better.
A small piece of scotch tape to cover these will do the trick if this is happening to you. Future
builds will have this OFF by default, but it’s too useful right now.
If you really have issues you can’t figure out, try a hard reset of the watch (see above) and a
hard reset of the phone (turn off, pull battery, wait, put battery back in, boot). You may also want
to delete the paired information from the Android Settings->Wireless->bluetooth and the MAC
address from the MetaWatch App. Please report back.
