Long time listener first time caller
looking for some feedback. good bad. been working on this project for a few weeks now, but I don't think I'm ever content with my UI layout. I'm using generic tablets and various phones.
what would you change? what do you like? what don't you like?
give me your thoughts and comments comments? all are welcome
I love the look and feel of live wallpapers but noticed it's eating up bandwidth. I have enabled all live wallpaper and know I have to reduce the streams.
I'm looking for recommendations to reduce bandwidth, and keep the best list without running locally.
UPDATE
TL;DR: Reset watch & Watch app data. No to backup and NO to restore from backup. Pixel 3 Watch, Pixel 10 phone.
A few hours after this post I received emails that an engineer was assigned and a few minutes later the watch/esim was removed from account. Performed the basics on/of, etc. nothing.
Multiple errors when attempting to add watch esim:
Phone,
Watch App,
Connectivity,
Connect to Visible (this was new and looked promising),
5.Setup or Buy a Plan, (this was new and looked promising),
Contacting network (OMG finally)....
Error occurred. Failed to initiate setup with carrier.
Failed & other errors throughout the day
8a. Stuck on Connecting.. 4+ hours
8b. Network does not all connectivity
8C. Blank/black screen after step 4
At this point I was ready to give up, but I was IN TO DEEP to quit now!
Now to the fix:
Cleared Watch.app Cache and App Data
Set up watch as a new device
During Setup :
NO: do you want to backup this device?
NO: Do you want to restore from backup? NOTE: This step will reset the watch. This step was the reason it kept failing because it restores the previously stored non working esim. Erasing/removing esim did not make a difference.
Followed steps 1-6 above.
Took about 15min for the SIM to download, but patience is key.
I added a Pixel 3 watch and had no problems adding or using it on my plan.
However, after performing a factory reset, I am no longer able to add esim to watch.
I asked the agent to remove watch from account to start a net new activation. (I am not sure if they did this but said they did)
Agent "reset" watch on visible side but noticed I had Line Lock on my line. After removing Line Lock and waiting 30min, I was still not able to add. They had me do the basics: On/Off, wifi, mobile, Bluetooth on/off restart, reset, remove esim, etc.
I see the watch as active, on my account and asked to agent to remove or deactivate the watch and the agent didn't have access to do so.
Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this issue? Something so simple shouldn't be so difficult. /END RANT
UPDATE: Thank you Team Viz!

I seem to have missed a setting(s) that will start the Aerial View screensaver after 20 minutes of inactivity.
This had me thinking if a screensaver is even needed if using live wallpaper. What is your setup for this?
Has anyone successfully added a Pixel Watch SIM to Visible plan. Last I read, only Apple watches are supported.
