Pull Down Shade

[Utters2027]

When you are at the watch face screen and swipe down from the top, the pull down shade appears. It gives you the options of which notifications you want to pop up, none, priority, or all. However when you first see the shade, the battery level is shown only for a second. Very quick. Sometimes to the left of the battery level it will display your current active connection to data. It will display the wifi bars if connected to wifi or LTE with bars if your on the network. When it is connected to the phone through BT though I have noticed that it will have bars with and H on top of them. Does anyone know what the H means??? Or is it just a way of saying that you have a current BT connection with your phone?

Thanks

I don't have an H on mine..... All I see is my alarm, 3G, and battery percentage.

H means your watch is currently connected to HSPA signal (3G) instead of LTE signal. Since the watch lacks LTE band 17 which AT&T uses a lot, you may not always get LTE signal everywhere.

Are there any other kinds of connections that will pop up in that area besides the symbols that have already been mentioned? I know there's H, 3G, LTE and Wifi. Any others?

I never saw 3G. Just H or LTE. Incidentally, if you make a car using watch's number, the watch will have to drop down to H in order to make calls just like most phones. You also probably expect to see E if it is connected to 2G towers.

I see, thanks foxbat121.

Also if anyone was wondering the Theater Mode and Brightness Boost in the "drop down shade" (not sure if that's what it is actually called) are also available for quick use using the center button on the right of the watch.

One Click=Ambient Mode
Double Click=Theater Mode
Triple Click=Brightness Boost

If you pull the shade down, but don't let go, you can see the icons until you let it go. Useful if you're trying to focus on changes to the icons like wifi strength and cellular signal type.
