I have a few questions while setting up Snore Detection on my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic:
1. Which device records the snoring? Galaxy Watch or the phone itself?
2. Is it necessary to keep charging the phone overnight in order for Snore Detection to work?
I have tried the following but the Snore Detection doesn't work:
Day 1: Phone went to Sleep Mode (which restricted app usage, including that of Samsung Health) and as a result automatically turned on Power Saving (I have set this in Routines) which limited all background activity. Phone was charged up to 100%, then unplugged it and kept it near me before going to sleep. Snore Detection was set to "Always". Microphone Permission was set to "Allow only while using the app".
Status: Snore Detection not working
Day 2: Phone went to Sleep Mode (which restricted app usage, but now Samsung Health was allowed) and as a result automatically turned on Power Saving (I have set this in Routines) but this time I tuned off the "Limit apps and Home screen" toggle. Phone was charged up to 100%, then unplugged it and kept it near me before going to sleep. Snore Detection was set to "Always". Microphone Permission was set to "Allow only while using the app".
Status: Snore Detection not working
Day 3: Phone went to Sleep Mode (which restricted app usage, but now Samsung Health was allowed), made changes in the "Sleep" Routine and disabled the automatic turning on of Power Saving Mode. Phone was charging wirelessly at a very low wattage, starting from 17% (took 8 Hrs 15 Mins to charge fully), it was charging near me with its microphone being pointed towards me. Snore Detection was set to "Always". Microphone Permission was set to "Allow only while using the app".
Status: Snore Detection not working
This is the permission usage log. So right after day 3 I checked whether microphone was being used or not, and as you can see, it wasn't used at all.
Also, in case of no snoring by the user, the app should confirm that they didn't snore last night instead of simply showing the message: Couldn't detect snoring. Tap to learn more.
