All of my previous phones have had this feature, but my E4GT doesn't have it. Call it a pet peeve, but I hate the fact that my screen goes to sleep if the phone is charging.
Any known way to change this setting? I also noticed the phone doesn't have a 'reset' option, just 'shut down'.

Unfortunately there is no way to stop the screen from turning off while on the charger. Maybe a way to do it with Tasker, but I am unsure about that.
define "sleep"... phone goes in deep sleep when on battery, keeping it on usb prevents that and therefore phone doesnt "sleep". maybe you're referring to keeping screen ON when on usb? then Tasker's "Display > Display Timeout" is your friend.
I believe they removed this feature
because of screen burn-in

May be a dumb question, but any concerned with screen burn-in from charging? Under normal use the screen isn't lit up long enough, but while charging the screen stays lit (dimmed, yes but still lit) and with a static blue ring around the edge. Just seems odd that some kind of daydream mode isn't employed.

The screen is LCD not OLED so burn in isn't an issue.
I had it on the charger for about 2 hours last night and can clearly see the ring and the "moto" and "100%" text, especially on the gray background of the settings menu.

That's my concern. I thought that LCD wasn't impervious just because it wasn't OLED and it is still susceptible to damage.
You can turn the screen off while charging if you just press the button (which is on top while charging).

Strange when I charged yesterday the screen did turn off. It is charging now and the button on top just dims.

I honestly can't figure this thing out, lol
It would appear that the last update keeps the screen on (although dim) while charging. Another change is that putting a turned off watch in the charger turns it on.
Well that solves my question. First charge was off, 2nd and current 3rd charge is staying dim. Thanks!
If you want it off when you charge, go into "Settings-->About" and tap on build number, repeatedly until it displays "You are now a developer". Then go back to "Settings-->Developer Options" and the first option is "Stay awake when charging". You can touch it to toggle between enabled and disabled.

just a heads up (for me anyway) - I wanted to have it ON when charging, so i did the dev mode option. Then i wanted to turn it off, and it seems disabling the option in dev options wont turn it off lol
early release wonkiness i assume

Once we get root we'll be able to change this option in the build.prop file:
Code:
ro.ambient.force_when_docked=true
To turn off the screen while charging:
1. Open the Android Wear app
2. Turn on "Always On" (if it's not already)
3. Wait for the screen on the watch to dim
4. Uncheck "Always On" in the Android App
The screen will turn off until it's taken off the charger, screen is tapped, or button is pushed.

This worked for the LG G Watch as well. But you have to substitute "always on" with "ambient screen" with the update to 4.4w1.

Whoops. Forgot about the verbage difference in the Moto360.
Found this on reddit, looks like it answers my question. Curious to see if they had the screen left fully lit while charging.

Tasker task I create to toggle the screen off automatically.
I've had it since Monday. Charging every night (~8 hours). Developer mode on, but no settings changed. No burn in. I think it's a defect.
So i don't know if this is because I just got a replacement device, but I put it on the charger and it's turning the screen off itself without going into the settings. I don't know if this is because it's saying "charge your battery" to update, but I'm not doing anything with ambient settings

Mine came with the new update already on it and did the same thing. Search for how to enable developer mode and there is a toggle there to turn it on or off.
I'm all updated, but the option in developer mode doesn't work for me. I have to manually turn it off in Wear App every night.

Same here.
I would reset your watch and resync it with your phone again. Give that a try.
Yeah, it's gone now have to do the settings again. Fyi, I was happy about this not mad. It must have been asking for the update that made it do this
It appears that enabling developer options somehow disables the screen off while charging option. The strange thing is that although the developer option menu has a toggle for this, it actually does not work.
With the latest S/W rev (4.4W.1) I can turn the screen off in the charger the same way I turn it off on my wrist - placing my palm on the screen momentarily turns it off. (This is with developer options enabled but no changes to the settings.)
Easy Peasy!
Edit: And apparently the result of S/W not operating as designed. My 360 dropped the connection to my phone recently so I restarted it. Since then the screen remains on during charging regardless of what I do.
Can't find another question like this one... so here goes:
Just got a Moto 360 for 149.99 USD and its great so far.
Did that force update to 5.1.1, this one worked for me: https://www.reddit.com/r/moto360/comments/3ahj1l/a_surefire_way_to_force_the_511_update/
Now I look into turning off the screen when its charging, only to run into a very strange issue...
In the developer options, which you can enable using 10 taps on the build number in about, there are two options:
1) stay awake while charging
2) burn-in protection
Burn-in protection will NOT save the check when your restart, so in essence, is useless.
However I found that using stay awake while charging DOES indeed turn off the screen, but here's the catch: you have to set it to ENABLED.
Don't believe I have ever seen a setting on android that required it to be on, to be off...
But hey, it does work, on mine at least.
Also the whole "just hit the button to make the screen go off" ONLY works in Theater Mode! And I personally dont like pushing a button to check the time.
If Theater Mode is off, it will just brighten the screen for around 2 seconds, then dim again.
Here's my question, what does that burn-in protection do anyways? Just pixel shift over time? Why can't it be enabled?
Hope this helps some people!
that setting does nothing for me
the screen stays awake regardless of ENABLED or DISABLED
funny how motorola hasn't fixed this yet
just put watch in "Theater mode" before charging
and it would switch the screen off on charger too

It started on mine, in the dock. Every few minutes everything on the display jumps in size from small to large and vice visa
The staying awake feature is backwards. Crazy

I restarted mine after setting to enabled, also ambient / theater mode are both off.
Hi,
as ShadowVlican wrote: just enable the theater mode to switch the screen off during charging. It is also important, the you undo any changes you did in the developer menu ("stay awake while charging" and the "burn in protection" as well).

Yeah, no. My screen turns off for 10 seconds then just becomes dim black with backlight again.
Is there no damn working solution?!
I have no rules set for switching into power save modes, yet I keep finding my phone in power save mode with all the radios turned off. I'm using a case with a viewing window if that means anything. Anyone else having this issue?
I had this issue, and my wife had it too. I ended up disabling the power saver on both our phones. I have since enabled it again on mine, and it has been behaving properly. No idea what causes it or why mine now seems to be working OK, but it is a very annoying bug.
How did you disable it?
Dan
I use the "Disable Application" app by BIZKAI Apps from the Play Store. You need root, obviously.
I was afraid of that. I've not rooted the phones yet.
Dan
This has been happening to me also and i dont have it set to switch but it will randomly do it and turn off my network. This phone is really pissing me off.
Something you might want to try is to go to power saver-> smart switch-> switch by schedule and change it from battery saver to normal. It sounds like a bug that someone mentioned a while ago: smart switch's switch by schedule runs even when it is not turned on.

Not related to OP's issue as they have the View Case which I hope prevents this, but I have found that the phone activates in my pocket and often enables flight mode, power saving mode, and other random toggles. Noticed that when the phone is in a pocket facing my body, wild things happen. facing away and nothing happens.
Take your phone out, turn the screen on and rub it on your knee. You will see that the touch screen is so sensitive that it responds through the fabric of your plant leg. This seems to be a problem for me from time to time, but the new slide to unlock on the view window has fixed some of the issues.
Hey Guys,
So something very annoying I've noticed so far since owning this phone. I could have it laying on the table/counter, whatever. I have lift to wake and any other motion related setting to turn the screen on disabled, however, if I so much as nudge my phone while it's sitting the screen will always wake. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there some other hidden setting I've yet to disable and need to? Is it a glitch or something? Appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks!
You are not the only one observing this behavior. I believe it's a software glitch. It's has been mentioned on other forums as well.
I don't think it's a glitch. People have said the "fix" is to turn off fingerprint option. So I'm thinking it's actually a feature to turn on the screen so it's ready for your finger print. It's different than lift to wake because it only shows the Always On Display. Lift to wake, goes past the Always On Display and to the lock screen. I've tested it in my pocket and it's stays fully off.

It's a feature not a bug
There is doze_quick_pickup_gesture option that you can set via adb. Just setup adb shell (google how to do it if you don't have it), then enable developer options on your phone (google it too), then connect your phone to your PC and execute this command in the shell:
shell settings put secure doze_quick_pickup_gesture 0
It worked for me! Borrowed from here:

Interesting. I noticed that my AOD is always on, even though I have set it to be disabled when charging.
Maybe Adaptive Sound has something to do with that? 'Cuz I enabled that.

Yes i think its a bug when adaptive sound is on and it hears loud sounds, ot turns the screen on. Just try banging the desk or hitting two spoons when near your phone with adaptive sound on and off... The screen lights up when its ON bit doesn't when its off
I am having just the opposite effect. I lift my phone and nothing happens. I have to click my power button for it to go on sometimes.
If you refer to Lift to check BLACK SCREEN It is a feature for easy to use fingerprint so that very helpful for me
