Does anyone else have this problem? I can push the power button say to view the time, but then the screen never turns off? I have the option on where if it sees a face it doesn't turn off, but the phone can be away from me and it doesn't turn off....
Have you checked the " Touch Screen Light Duration " setting? Maybe cycle through those setting and rebooting between each cycle. I had a over sensitive S-Pen and I cycled the Airview while rebooting and it helped.

So it seems to be a problem with the smart stay button (face detection if you're looking at the screen). If I turn it off, the screen turns off normally. Anyone else deal with this?

I'm running the stock ROM by jovy23. As I am going through setting up the phone, I realized that the screen won't turn off. The power button works on a long-press to invoke the shutdown/restart menu, but short press does not turn off the screen.
1) I used an app to turn screen off, it will invoke the lock screen but the screen stays on
2) Nothing is wakelocking the phone, and no screen wakelock
3) "Screen stays on when charging" is turned off
4) "Dream" is turned off
5) Screen also does not turn off after timeout
6) Wiped cache/dalvik
7) Restarted multiple times
8) Phone is not plugged in or charging
9) SmartStay turned off
10) I have a Sprint Note 3 w/ same set of apps, config, etc., and it works fine
I do not believe this is a hardware issue, but what could it be? I'd appreciate some help...
Thanks.

The only thing I could tell you is to use ODIN and get back to complete stock and see if it works there. If not, warranty replacement.
Very interesting...
I discovered that if I renamed the boot animation qmg file under \system\media , the screen won't turn off. Once I restored the file, all is well.
Why is this?

So...the latest update (the one with interactive watch faces) broke theater mode for me. I turn it on but it doesn't actually work. It appears to turn itself off. Anyone else notice this? How do I fix it?
Check if you can wake the watch by touching the screen.
It's not that it is broken but, when you press the power button it automatically turns it off. But not pressing the button you shouldn't be able to wake up the screen...

So...
-I turn theater mode on.
-At some point later I start getting notifications on my watch.
-Moving my arm wakes it up.
-Theater mode appears to be turned off mysteriously when I go to turn it on.
I can report the same issue. Theather mode is completely broken for me as well. Turns itself off all the the time. I'm also noticing random artifacts on the screen, this update seems pretty buggy.
I had a problem with it before the update. after a restart it would turn the mode off. after the update its worse.

I am seeing artifacts too. When I swipe down from the top with the watch showing, when the battery % fades out there is an artifact right of the %.

I also have had the same problem with cinema/theater mode since updating to Android Wear 1.3. When I activate it and then later press the home button, it then deactivates and automatically turns off cinema mode. Today I raised this issue and wrote to Motorola hoping for a response soon.
Yes, its broken. I turn the Theater mode on. At some point when I press the power button to wake the device for a quick glance, theater mode is off.
The most common use case to conserve battery in Moto 360 was to keep it in Theater mode during regular day. While in Theater mode single press turned screen on momentarily for a quick glance. Then it went back to theater mode automatically. This no longer works. Single press now turns Theater mode off instead of just turning screen on momentarily.
Just checked the issue!
I don't want to manually set Cinema Mode ON after checking notifications.
Update = Fail
Broken on my watch too...
The marshmallow update for the moto 360 comes, again, with broken theater mode. Anyone else having this issue?
People who have updated their watch to 6.0.1, probably noticed that it is impossible now to turn off the display function "Theater Mode" during charging. I found a way:
- Turn on "Developer options" (by repeatedly pressing the build number in the information)
- select "Options Wear for a programmer"
- leater Turn on "Force protection against firing"
From the moment you turn on "theater mode", eg by double depressing side button, the screen during charging blank, as was the case for 5.1.1.
There sugerujcie a message about the "Introduction of amendments to restart." It's probably a mistake translate (should rather be "to restart"). Restart, not only that it does not change, but also removes the "Developer options" and you have to call them again.
Sorry bad my engish
Theater mode while charging still works the same for me on 6.0.1 as it did on 5.1.1. I double press the side button and theater mode is enabled until I press the side button to enable regular display mode.
Me after a while, you turn on ambient mode
My SW3 ran to about 10%, I went to turn the brightness down before recharging and the screen greyed out (the brightness adjustment menu item is just about visible, no backlight).
The screen is non-responsive and I suspect the watch is actually off with a residual image on the screen. I can't turn it on or reboot by holding the power button down.
Plugged in now for 2.5h, no signs of life and still won't turn on.
What now? is this a recognised issue?, will it come back to life if I keep it plugged in or should I be doing something else.

Okay, 5 different cables later, and finally the phone vibrated once and is now charging having blanked it's screen of the residual greyed out screen. Whether this was due to the battery fully draining or the right cable who knows.
I guess the tablet isn't actually powering down, it's just going into sleep mode, or whatever it's called when the screen shuts off. Anyway, is there a way to keep this from happening when the tablet is plugged into the wall charger? It isn't a major deal but it is sort of annoying when I have something large downloading or have the tablet otherwise doing something on its own, but I'm not actively using it. I like to walk by occasionally and check in on things, but will often find that the tablet has shut off. Then I have to turn it back on, swipe the screen, or login if I have security on. Anyway, it would be much nicer if it would just stay on when plugged in. I've looked through the settings and can't seem to find anything related. If it's there, I'm missing it.
Thanks.
There are different between shut off and standby (sleep mode):
1- Shut off: Your tablet is shutdown, the only way to turn it on is power button.
2- Standby: the screen is off, you just need to press power or home button to turn the screen on in 2 seconds. In order to prevent the screen turn off so quickly, you only need to change the screen timeout to 10 or 30 minutes. If it turns off by itself, your tablet has a problem.
Mine can standby a whole week and it only loses a little charge when waking up.

There is no 30 minute screen timeout on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. The most I can set it to is 10 minutes, and that's where it's at.
Thanks anyway.

we call that a screen time out... you can activate the stay awake while charging feature in developer option... how to activate developer option.... go to setting -> about device -> and press the Build Number 7 times. you will see something like developer option activate. then find the stay awake while charging option. that's all. :victory:

Super, that's exactly what I was hoping for...
...once I get my completely screwed up tablet running again...
I'm starting another thread.
Thanks!
Hi all,
Problem: When the phone is turned on, locking the screen works beautifully. Once the display turns off, pressing the power button doesn't do anything... for about a minute. Then the display wakes up and everything is fine again. It doesn't sound like a hardware issue, as the power button works in recovery, and to lock the screen. The screen turns on instantly in recovery and when powering on the phone, so I don't think it's the screen's problem either.
Does anyone have any ideas to fix this problem? Thanks!
