Fenix 6 - System.exit

Hi guys,

I am using long press for back button in my apps to exit to watchface regardless which view is currently shown. This was working fine in Fenix 5 series (user was brought back to the correct watchface) but with Fenix 6 this leads to the default watchface (stock one) and not the one that is currently selected. I am not sure if this is only related to my back button handling because one of my apps not using it still falls back to the stock one if I define a shortcut for long pressed back button to return to watch face. Would be nice if somebody could test the latter case with a shortcut and a NON-STOCK app. With stock apps it seems to work fine...

Thanks!

What you're doing is using the hotkey for widgets while in an activity (like the native "run"). Due to available memory, if that activity has a CIQ data field, you see a native watch face. If there's no CIQ data fields, you can see a CIQ watch face.

Hi Jim,

I am not using a datafield here. What I am doing is opening a watch app and simply use the hotkey "back long press". In such a case I would expect the app to close and bring me to my CIQ watch face, but this is not happening, instead I see the native watch face. So I don't think this is related to memory, or at least shouldn't be...

Thanks!

No, what's happening is the device app keeps running, and since it's CIQ, you see the native WF. Again, the memory thing.

There's a similar thing where if you are running a device app, there's not enough memory to run a background process for a CIQ WF or widget.

Hi Jim,

but then you need to tell me why this was/is working on Fenix 5 but NOT on Fenix 6? With my Fenix 5 there was no issue and I was always returned to my CIQ watch face, whereas on Fenix 6 I am returned to the native one...

I get a native watch face on a f5 if running a CIQ device app, not the CIQ one.

for a native activity, I get a native WF if there's a CIQ DF

Oh, really. I was pretty sure this was working correctly on Fenix 5... So, to sum it up:

For CIQ app:

Native app => return to watch face => CIQ watch face

CIQ app => return to watch face => native watch face

for CIQ widget:

Native widget => return to watch face => CIQ watch face

CIQ widget => return to watch face => CIQ watch face

Is it working for widgets because of smaller memory usage?

Thanks!
