My apologies if this is discussed elsewhere, but I have not been able to find the answer.
While using Google Maps Navigation with the phone's screen off it seems to shut off the gps receiver as it tells me GPS signal has been lost about 30 seconds after the screen turns off. As soon as I turn the screen back on it reacquires satellites and resumes navigation. I like to keep the screen off so the nice robot lady can tell me which way to go and I am not tempted to constantly look at my phone screen. If anyone knows if this is normal or a way to keep gps on while navigating I would appreciate the info.
Resolution?
Did anyone ever respond? I have the same issue myself.

I have the E980 and am really happy with it, but lately it's been acting weird where it will just randomly wake up and go to the lock screen for no apparent reason, no new texts or anything. Even if I physically press the lock button to lock it back up, it keeps happening. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it? I'm also *relatively* new to android, is there some setting I don't know about? Thanks!
Hey I actually figured it out! In case anyone else has this issue, get WakeLock Detector from the Play store. It figured it out for me instantly, it turned out to be some Tron Light Bike game
As of yesterday, I have been experiencing an issue where the GPS on my phone will suddenly turn itself on. Where the problem started persisting was when I was without signal in a basement. I checked my phone and it kept showing the GPS icon on the notification bar. To make sure that i'm not going insane, I left my screen on with the screen opened on the location services, and the button would just automatically switch to the ON position.
Now, I have full signal, performed a soft reset, and still sometimes when I get a call or a text the GPS icon will appear. I know for a fact, that I have been turning it off and have watched it turn itself back on with no command. Any ideas?
Does every have issues with this in apps such as Google Sky Maps? Tracking of stars/planets are WAY off. I'll turn the phone around, point it up and down, and the screen either barely moves, or jumps so far out of position that it isn't useful either way.
Anyone else have this issue?
So Just got the 360 as a birthday present to myself. However I am having buyers remorse right now. I want to keep the screen on in ambient mode however it does not work. I have tried with it on and off to no avail. Screen just turns off after 5 seconds. Why is this not working? Am I missing something? I have searched Google for hours and found nothing. This is driving me mad. Also my wrist gesture do not work i was under he impression that when you bring the watch up to your face the screen will come on. Is it possible mine is just a dud?
Any thoughts on how to fix this, as well as any apps that may force screen to stay on?
Turning the wrist with the watch towards me in a single quick move is sufficient.
So the issue was a broken gyroscope or accelerometer. Returned to store for a new one and ambient works fine as does the raise to view time. If any noobies have this issue I would suggest returning for a new one.
This started happening today. When I turn my screen off my signal status disappears and when I turn the screen on it comes back.
The signal bars stay but the 4G LTE icon disappears with screen off and reappears with screen turned on.
Baffling ?
How do you see anything with the screen turned off anyway?
I'm not understanding the problem here....
Because for a split second before the screen goes off and can see the 4G LTE icon disappear and when I turn the screen on it doesn't come back for 1 or 2 seconds. And I do not receive any messages or updates from apps while screen is off. It's like something is turning off my data when I turn the screen off.
Found out the problem it was a battery saving app that I didn't realize I had on my phone still. Thanks for the replies.
