Hi guys.
First off, I love my SGN. It's the best phone I have ever had the pleasure to own and I don't regret signing a 2 year contract to have it.
I do have 1 problem though... I installed GTA3, I ran it and it downloaded all the extra data it needed. I played it for about 20 minutes and put it down to carry on working .
Later I decided to open it and play some more. The screen goes landscape and the status bar disappears. Then 2 or 3 seconds later the status bar comes back and I am back on the app drawer, still in landscape.
I have the same problem with Brothers in Arms 2.
Anybody had this problem and if so how did you fix it?
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks XDA'ers!
Wrong section - you wont get an answer here. Post in Q&A.

usually happens when you dont exit games correctly through their menu systems. Go into all apps, find GTA3 and force close it.
I went out and picked myself a galaxy nexus just yesterday and while I love ics I have the weirdest problem ever
Let's say I am loading a web page on my slow internet -- the screen would turn off while waiting as if the phone is idle but it shouldn't cause I am browsing. What could be wrong ?
Hi,
Increase the display sleep time?
Settings/Display/Sleep and...
Or just touch the screen to prevent the sleep?

It says screen off during inactivity...
How is it inactive if the browser is loading or YouTube loading a video...the android os needs to know its being used and not to shut off the screen.
Although your method of tapping the screen is a solution it isn't.
I hate to say it but even the crappy iPhone doesn't have this problem.
Re,
Either you have not understood what I wrote or it's me who is not understood...
And for the screen sleep time???Set it to 1 min...or 5?
If your screen sleep time is set to 30s then touch the screen at...about 20s...I don't know...then the screen will be on for another 30s...?
So,sorry for my reply and a possible solution I thought...

My phone never shuts off the screen while I'm loading a YouTube video.
You're doing it wrong.
And it shuts off while you are loading a page because your internet is crap and the phone IS idle.
You are holding it wrong!
There is an app that can help this. I think it won some awards from Google when it was developed also. It's called screebl and it is available both in Google Play and Amazon app store. It was a free app of the day on Amazon last year so I got it for free but the paid version is only $2, support the developer please.

You should try re set you phone!
The browser does not hold a wakelock, YouTube app is programmed to hold a wakelock. This is normal.
My nexus frequently returns to the home screen by itself while browsing. When I go back go the browser, the page I was viewing is gone and it displays my home page. Extremely frustrating.
Anybody else experience this?

If you aren't touching the screen it will timeout.
So I was hesitant to proceed with the update since my 360 has been working so well and the battery life increased tremendously when I got my Note 5.
After a few days of the update pestering me I decided to go for it.
Now there are 2 things that are very annoying.
The first, whenever the screen comes on, there is a slight delay in the watch face.
It lights up with a black face and the hands are white, then it switches to whatever face I have and respected dials.
I'm not using facer or anything, just the stock moto Dials 2. This is very annoying and makes the watch seem slow.
The second thing is that the watchface doesnt turn on when I receive texts anymore.
The vibrate function still works, but the screen won't light up.
Is there a setting that changed making this the default? I would prefer the screen turn on when I receive texts.
Thanks
Make sure 'card previews' turned on from the android wear app, other wise your experience with the faces sounds buggy! A factory reset would help on that.
Factory reset doesnt work, this also happens to me since the update, looks like this is a firmware problem.
Damnit, I wish I didn't update.
Battery is also noticeably worse.

Same exact two issues here and I'm shocked I haven't seen more people complain about them. The first one is a nuisance but the second one completely devalues the purpose of the watch making it useless. Not seeing the text/email/etc... and only having a vibration on your wrist is pointless. I could keep my phone on vibrate in my pocket if I wanted to be notified of a new text/email without seeing the actual message. Please post a fix if one is found!

Can you found a way to fix it?

The first issue is because the watch now comes on in ambient mode first. Even if you don't use ambient mode. It sucks. Luckily i use Watchmaker for my watch face so I went in and made all the parts (hands date etc...) to be visible in ambient mode.
I have noticed that if I wait a couple of seconds the notification does appear on my watch screen but it is after the vibrate, not immediate. I thought it wasn't showing up at first too. Still, I wish it was quicker as I look right away.

I went back to using Facer for my watchface and the delay is gone.
Also did they completely remove the restart option? Now it's just power off, and then press and hold the side button.
I'm experiencing both issues as you do on 6.0.1.
Also yes, reboot option is gone from update.
The renamed reset with "unpair from watch". Not gone, just to mess with us.

Reboot is not reset...
I've also noticed that theater mode does not work after the mm update (unrooted, ota). I usually set it to theater mode at night to avoid burn in and just because I don't want it on all night. Now, it looks like it's blacked out, but when I wake up, the charging screen is lit up. Anyone else getting this?
I have the exact same issue after the update. Theater mode will not keep the display off if the watch is being charged. Off the charger, it works as expected. Quite an annoying bug.
If I turn ON the theatre mod with double press the power button before I put the clock on the charging dock, after that screen continue charge with screen off.
For me it's work.
Can anyone try it?

Just tried that - doesn't work for me. Screen turns off but once I put it on the charger, it comes back on after a few seconds. I'm watching it and it's still on a few minutes later.
Same here. Screen always turns back on
I'm getting the first bug the OP mentioned havn't noticed the second one though.
However the first bug is annoying enough, hopefully there'll be a quick patch.
Little patience, update to Marshmallow is great.
Here's what I mean with screen off when charge:
So in the morning until you take it out of the dock and go to work.

Sorry I read wrong...but wouldn't you just use the power off option and then turn back on to reboot?
Lot of times i have faced the issue of touch not happen at some points and also sometimes the buttons even dont show up.
1. when i open amazon.in in my chrome...after turning the night mode on...whenever i scrollup the window...the screen of phone flickers...i tried to take screenshot bt they were clear...
At some time...i felt that the screen will fuseoff...it was so bad experience...and no bug report found at all for future improvements.
2. Major flaw...when i played games...all worked fantastic bt somehow the phone does not understand the coding of the game(hitman absolution)
Whenever i try to switch the weapon in armoury, the arrow to switch between weapons appears for about half second and vanishes...at the end i am unable to switch the weapons...stuck at default weapon...
A huge dissatisfaction that u have every specs to play around and i dont know wt is stopping me from enjoying the things.
Lot of websites dont load properly like on other mobiles...
3. I am huge fan of hayday game...but when i start playing...after 5-10 minutes....the game shuts of accidently and homescreen appears...and the thing happens everytime ...even after multiple reboots and full battery.
Not even the app not responding box shows...just everything shuts...very bad experience....and dont know the solutions of such things...
The slow motion feature in the camera records at 120fps...quite fast for slomo and 960 fps which makes video look laggy...ther must be some solution to record 540fps also.
And the customization..crap..there is no theme engine...if u wanna change something...in dreams or in other rom.
There is not even the default gallary application by lenovo...no android M logo shows up on multiple tap in settings about model/base, just sick of the things....better switch the rom.
ok this is another bad problem with my s20 ultra

I kind of see a jump. It looks like multitouch is acting up. Do you have anything on the screen (or touching it in any way, such as a case or protector). If there is no physical input to the screen maybe a factory reset? It could be defective.
turn on "Show Taps" in developer mode to check for ghost touches,
Return it
