Hi jim,
Thanks for you reply. You can test by yourself the widget, the timeout appears after 25 minutes on the VA3.
I don't have the problem on the FR945 and the fenix 5
As I said, the problem here, is that after the timeout (on the VA3) the watchface is reset to the system clock...
What firmware are you running?
Thanks for having test - and sorry for the delay of my answer, I wasn't notified
You need to be connected to Internet via your smartphone to make it works...
I am not sure what you mean by CIQ one ?
I have maybe an explanation for the time out :
Every 1 sec I test the backlight and reactivate it.
static function generalTimerCallback(){
//put the backlight on
if (Attention has :backlight) {
Attention.backlight(true);
}
}
firmware 7.2
After the timeout, when I return to the watch face, I return to the CIQ WF I have active. You said you returned to a system one,. Turning on the backlight shouldn't impact the timeout.
Did you test it when your Ikigai was connected ?
The timeout is maybe alterate because I switch automatically the view every 3 seconds. After the fourth view, it returns to the first view (automatically).
The bug appears only on the VA3 (from my tests - I only have and tested a FR945, a fenix5 and a VA3)
I was connected to a phone, but the widget never connected. Switching views should not reset the timeout in any case. Only user interaction should.
Have you tried other widgets from the store? Do they time out? What FW is on your va3?
I don't believe that we'll be revisiting.
Then I suggest it's a good idea to at least mention in the API docs that System.exit() doesn't work for widgets.

I also struggled with this unusual behavior because it's common in most programming languages that exit terminates a process.
