I have a little problem...i installed setcpu because i love the profiles..but only two are working ..screen off and unlock
I have a persistent notification icon for screen off and i see it for half a second when i turn the screen back on..and there is the icon for when i unlock the phone..
The problem is that i have two profiles to activate when i open certain apps (let's call them apps a and apps b) and they are set to have notification icons and have the highest priorities (100 and 99).
The two apps profiles do not turn on. When i open one of these apps, i get the unlock notification profile..and i have a feeling that confirms that the profiles are not turning on when the screen is off is when i listen to music with the screen off..it skips like my old Droid did when it couldn't handle to many processes (screen off profile is conservative with min frequency..)
So..what am i doing wrong? Is there anything I'm missing? Appreciate any help i can get...thanks..
bump for anyone who might be able to help that hasn't seen it yet...
I had the same issue but then realized it only works when you actually are in the app you selected. You can't have the profile be in effect if the app is just running in the background - which is unfortunate.
just got my fire tv yesterday and love it. i have xmbc loaded and it works perfectly other than one thing. after being at idle for more than 30 minutes, it does not go to sleep
i've googled it and i see that other's have this issue. but the thing that confuses me is there is no option within xbmc to close, sleep, or shut down after set period of time?. on my window based HTPC downstairs, i am able to set a time on which the computer will either close the program, sleep, shutdown whatever.
is there a way i can add that function back to XBMC or an add on ? i tend to use XBMC to watch a movie or listen to music while falling asleep and it would be nice to have the fire tv sleep rather than staying on.
thanks

XBMC does have a timed quit function, but it's not visible in the settings by default. Go to XBMC's "Settings", then to "System". In the bottom left will be "Settings level". Change the settings level to either "Advanced" or "Expert". Then go to the "Power saving" menu and at the top is the setting you're looking for. Set "Shutdown function timer" to some value in minutes, and set "Shutdown function" to "Quit".
Hi, at Christmas I received this wonderful SmartWatch.
When accesnione, I would not be wrong, I think I saw a screen asking how long the s were to go into standby after a certain period of inactivity. If I'm right I put 15 minutes.
The question is, does anyone know how to change or disable this stand? Since it is really uncomfortable then the clock off the screen. The clock is beautiful especially with the screen saver.
Obviously this feature is not to be confused with "always on screen" which is different [this is already active].
Thank you
Ouch,I can't follow your grammar sir. You might get some translation help,and cut and paste again........^^^^^^^^
the SmartWatch goes into standby after 15 minutes and turns off the screen. How can I disable this feature?

You may have gotten a watch face that had always on set off, and it never toggled.
Try to turn always on OFF, then after awhile turn it back ON and see if you get the ambient face to show again.

it does with any watchfaces
When I take the watch off to shower,usually 10 to 15 min,I come back out and it's all black. I tap the screen,and it comes back on in ambient mode. I think this is what your referring to. I believe this is a sort of sleep mode to save battery, due to the watch receiving no movement at all. It's a cool feature. If this is happening while still on your wrist,then there might be a problem.???

Oh!! I know what it is....let me check but there is a setting for when the watch is off your arm to go to sleep. If you don't want that we have to set it off.... I found it, it's called "screen lock" you want to turn screen lock off..
Not it. Screen lock is when you have to draw a pattern on the watch face to unlock it,like on most phones now a days.

I found this on that topic, it says 30 minutes though. Maybe there is a time adjustment in the wear app? If not as you mentioned when you first synced up you picked 15, may have to forget and re-sync to chose again?
Tip: Letting your screen turn off when you're not using the watch will help improve battery life. If the watch hasn't moved for 30 minutes, the screen will turn off even if you have it set to remain always on. To wake your watch, tilt it or press the power button.

perfect, I just wanted to change the time from 15 to 30 minutes. it's possible?
I'm thinking you would have to disconnect, and forget, then connect like a new watch to get that setting.

Yes, and we cannot find such setting. Meaning it's a one time pop up when you originally connect watch.
This is just a theory though, I do not remember mine asking this question, and I cannot find a setting for this on the watch. According to the watch notes it should be set at 30 minutes default, maybe before you try anything actually time it?

I did restore Huawei, removed from the SmartWatch Android Wear. I restarted everything but this function has not resumed as the first time.

okay, now take the watch off, and time how long it takes to screen off, default should set it to 30 minutes.

I'm hoping there is a simple fix for this.
I have a Sprint Note 4 running Marshmallow 6.01. I recently installed an app that requires a lock-screen. I've got the phone setup for a simple PIN and the lock time-out is set to 30 minutes. Is there a way to increase that time? The stock ROM shows 30 minutes as the maximum. Ideally, I'd like to be able to have the lock screen turned off indefinately while I'm at home or in my car, but set to the 30 minute time frame otherwise.
Any help will be much appreciated.
I have recently moved to the Middle East and have a new TV (Samsung Smart TV) and my first Firestick (4k model bought 6 weeks ago). It has not been taken out of the Amazon app environment so I am only using the apps freely available on the Amazon store. I am using ExpressVPN.
The setup is great for getting me live and catchup TV from home as well as the usual Netflix/YouTube etc.
I discovered the screen saver facility and loaded a pile of photos to my Amazon account so I can see family and friends from home (I am batchelor status here). I love it.
The problem is that the screensaver only works for a certain short period of time before the screen blacks out. If I am listening to a radio app on the Firestick the radio continues after the screen blacks.
I've checked the TV and Firestick settings and cannot find a setting which creates a timeout.
I would like the the screensaver to continue for longer. If I use the Amazon photos app in slideshow mode I can't listen to the radio app at the same time.
Any idea why the screen is blacking out and what settings need changing?

You need to increase sleep timeout, that's the option in secure settings:
settings put secure sleep_timeout 3600000 # 1h
etc.
But it's not easy without root. You need apk which can write secure settings and grant needed permissions to it.
With root just set desired timeout via adb with settings util.

Seems like you can achieve this with just adblink?
There is a program called "Stay Alive!" that you just install, run, and it will keep you stick on. It will complain about "no Google play services" but the default settings are fine and it runs in the background. I can confirm this has kept my FS2 awake for a couple years now. No root.
