Almost none of the notifications produces any sound - only vibration. Is there a setting i’m missing or is this a bug?
Screen on raise - It shows the screen for about one second! I have to use an digital watch face to even be able to understand what time it is. Is there a setting to make lighting up the screen for a longer period?
The calender - how do I even make an entry? I can only highlight a date - but there are no options?
Is there no way to make custom short cuts - like when i swipe right it gives me the training settings. If i would like something else there?
The music player - does it only work with local music in the actual watch? I want to use spotify - and that the controls shows up in the watch when i use it? Is this possible? The controls i see ignores the fact that spotify is running… If i go way down in the menus there is another set of “Music controls”, but they are burried so deep in the menus…
Is there some alternative start screen app that actually works with Thor 4. I have tried Watch Droid, Erics universal launcher etc. But i’m having trouble getting them to work properly on Thor 4.
It is a cool watch. And cheap. But holy lord is it unintuitive and difficult to understand. Especially since there is no “real” manual. It’s frustrating because it could have been REALLY good with good UI/UX. Now it’s just barely ok.
THANKS in advance for any help.
PS. Sorry if any of these have allready been responded to - i tried to browse but could’t find any answers.

The calender - how do I even make an entry? I can only highlight a date - but there are no options? - all stock apps are basic you can use any calendar that you like i use gear calendar but you need the google calendar to sync all that you need.

I would just add that Smart Watch Ticks has several lengthy video’s that explain the operation of smartwatches that will enhance your ability to get the most from your watch.
Thank you both for your replies - i guess i have to try and fiddle with it som more. What i meant with local music is; Does one of the music controls only work with onboard mp3:s or something? Because it ignores both spotify and my podplayer.
As for the mods mentioned - i couldn’t get them working properly with my Pixel phone. Probably it’s only because my own lacking ability.
It’s a real bummer you can’t set the time for screen-on-raise, seems kind of important when it comes to watches to be able to acutally have time to register what time it is.
Finally, thanks for the video tip! I’ll have a look.
