update galaxy watch studio if a later version of galaxy watch studio (gws) is available, you may be prompted to update gws after you launch it. you can update gws now or manually update it at a later time. to manually update gws, simply download the latest version and run the executable. during installation, the installer will verify that you want to remove the current version installed on your system. you cannot install more than one version of gws on your system. if you added the java path to the gws initialization file (windows) or property list file (macos), after an update, you must add this path to the file again. see step 4 of the galaxy watch studio fails to launch section on the install galaxy watch studio page. updating to galaxy watch studio 1.8.1 in gws 1.8.1, new rules for digital clock language settings have been added. if you have updated to gws 1.8.1 and are using digital clock components, you must re-select supported languages in your digital clock components: back up your existing projects (by default, located in /users/<user.name>/gearwatchdesigner/workspace). in gws, open your project. select the digital watch component. in the properties window, go to the type section and click setting (next to language). unselect then re-select the supported languages and click ok. repeat steps 3-5 for each digital watch component in your project. save your project. repeat steps 2-7 for each project that contains a digital clock component. if you do not update your digital clock components, watch hand components may freeze or text may not display (if these components are used in the same project). galaxy watch studio fails to update if gws displays a window asking if you want to update to a newer version and you launch the update, sometimes the update will not complete (will remain at 0%). you will need to manually install the latest version of gws instead. cancel the download and go to https://developer.samsung.com/galaxy-watch-design/studio/overview.html to install the latest version of gws. common issues after update after an update, when you open an existing project, if text disappears, components cannot be edited, fonts are displayed incorrectly, or something is not working the way it did before the update, clear your system cache by restarting your system. if you shut down your computer, wait a couple of minutes (or the amount of time for the dram to lose its charge as dram may store cache information) before rebooting it. if, after restarting your system, the problem persists, do the following: make a copy of the project with the problem. open the copy in gws and start deleting components until you can identify which component is causing the problem. go to the galaxy watch studio forum and search to see if other developers have reported the same problem. if not, start a new thread in the forum, explaining your problem. if the problem cannot be solved in the forum, submit a support request and include a copy of the project.

faq 1. what are the benefits of using the galaxy performance sdk? the galaxy performance sdk enables your application to react to changes in system resource usage and availability. for example, if the hardware is undergoing thermal throttling, you can adjust your application's cpu or gpu usage to maintain application performance. 2. how do i determine which parameters to control with the galaxy performance sdk? during application development, you can trace the system behavior using various tracing tools and, for example, take note of when the application requires the most processing power. 3. how do i check that the galaxy performance sdk is working correctly? when a galaxy performance sdk method call is successful, it returns a success value. for more information, see the [api reference](https://img-developer.samsung.com/onlinedocs/galaxy-performance/). 4. is a performance control guaranteed to activate every time it is called? no. excessive calls can be limited or rejected to protect the device hardware. 5. can i control the hardware itself with the galaxy performance sdk? no. hardware is controlled by other performance management techniques, such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (dvfs), dynamic clock and voltage scaling (dcvs), load tracking, and scheduling. 6. the low-level galaxy performance sdk methods do not work on some devices. is there a workaround? most samsung galaxy devices support the galaxy performance sdk, but some device hardware have limitations of their own. for assistance, use the samsung developer forum. 7. can i use the galaxy performance sdk in my application, even if my application supports non-samsung devices? yes. during initialization, device support is checked. if the device is not supported, the galaxy performance sdk methods have no effect.
