Dimming Screen / Build # - Moto 360

I know that is a confusing title. But I am curious if everyone can cover their screen to dim it. My doesn't work when I do it. When I set it up, it even tells me to do that in the tutorial. This watch already had the 4.4w.1 update on it and was at build KGW42N. I saw some were at Q. Mine always says up to day when I check for updates.
So, can you guys dim your watches by covering them and what build # are you on?

Same update and build, my Palm cover works fine

'Touch' whole of the screen with palm.. Just cupping it won't help

Same build here and mine works with touching the whole palm to the screen.

You should get an update to KGW42R sometime, but the cover to turn off should be working now.
I know when I first tried it I thought it was just light-activated, but you have to actually press your palm to the glass as well, it need darkness and a flat palm touch. A gentle slapping/high-fiving action works well for me :good:

Thanks for the replies guys. I should have updated to the fact that I didn't realize that you had to touch the actual watch for it to work. I thought because of the light sensor that it work by just covering it. Then I remembered my friend with a LG watch showed me it turn off by covering (well touching it) and then it dawned on me that his doesn't have a light sensor. Doh!
By the way I did just receive the R update and ironically enough my phone couldn't connect to my watch this morning. Rebooting the watch didn't help I had to reboot the phone. This was a newer watch that already had the original update and after 5 days never had one disconnect. I hope it was just a one time deal.

No response on bringing arm up

The screen does not wake on raising my arm or even with multiple gestures. The steps counter works fine however. Tried resetting a few times with no luck. Anything I can do?

I had the same problem with my 360! I had the watch loose on my wrist! I adjusted my watch to be a bit tighter and it seems to be working OK now!

Thanks but doesn't seem to do the trick.
I'm with the OP on this one. Sometimes, the screen turns on and sometimes it doesn't. I've tried flicking my wrist and that doesn't work either. Then when I start trying to make the problem happen, the screen comes on every time I bring my arm up.
I just wonder what is the precise action the watch is looking for to make the determination that you are looking at the watch (e.g., to tell time).
If anyone knows, I'd like to know so I can do precisely that.

ps. Sometimes I miss my real watch because it always had the time. But I'm coming to the conclusion that we should stop calling these things, and comparing them to, "watches". They are really smart phone remotes.
It would be real nice to have a better understanding of the "secret handshake" to get the screen to turn on. If there is an irritation with the 360, this is seemingly my only one.
I would venture a guess, that those who root will probably wind up with a cool little gyroscope/debug feature that could probably begin to answer this question...
The trick is height, you can't just flick your wrist or turn it, you just have to raise it upwards too, I agree kinda sucks
Tried everything. Looks like a dud accelerometer so I just returned it. Going to wait for the Canadian release.

Yeah, that sounds defective. Did you have the latest update, the one released a few days ago? With it, I can raise my arm just slightly and flick my wrist and it turns on. The update made it more intuitive. Plus, make sure you are running stock clock faces. Some of the third party app clock faces stutter a bit and don't come on/off so smoothly.
I believe the trick is to tilt the watch towards you... as in lifting the top of the watch so that its at a 45 degree angle. I don't think speed or height have anything to do with it.

Hopefully you didn't return it before applying the newest Moto update that was released just a few days ago...it fixes that exact issue (and a few other issues). =0

Haha unfortuantely I did. Its okay though, I was always worried about having a US device in Canada. There would always be a warranty hassle. I'll get it when they finally do release it here. Thanks

I have one of these dud accelerometers too. Nothing aside from a screen tap or button press wakes it. So annoying, going to get an exchange.
man i got depressed once i found this thread.
my watch has been working fine for a couple of days and now it doesnt work when i bring up my arm. it was perfect i loved every minute of it i couldn't complain. and now i have to tape the screen twice or click on the knob to get it to tell me the time. it still lights up and vibrates when i get notifications but whats the point.
hope someone resolves this issue real soon

I had the same problem and was pretty despondent. Then I found a tilt to wake setting in the android wear app off on my phone, switched on and fixed!

[Q] Moto 360 not waking on wrist turn

Hey guys I recently bought my moto 360 and love it! The only problem I'm currently experiencing is that the watch face no longer wakes when I turn my wrist to look at the watch. This is extremely annoying because I want to be able to have more functionality with just one hand. Other than that the watch works perfectly. I've even been getting 16 hrs+ battery life on average. I tried looking through the settings to see if there was an option to change the wake settings but there are none. I don't see any other forums or anyone else posting about this issue so if you've had this issue please let me know what you did to fix this. ThankS!!
That started happening to me after the most recent update. Battery life improved by a few hours but then the wrist turn stopped being reliable

Since battery life is a bit more reliable, have you tried going with Ambient Mode again? While it admittedly doesn't last as long on as off, it does result in much more 'reactive' wrist turns to tell the time more quickly and repeatedly.
mine's a bit odd. Wakes fine normally, but when I mute notifications, it doesn't wake the screen unless I really move my wrist in an obvious way.
I actually got it to work now. The problem was going on when I had the keislertech stainless steel band on it. I switch the band with the leather one and the watch started waking every time I turned my wrist. I'm guessing the steel band was interfering with the accelerometers considering they use electromagnets.
Im still having this problem. And im only using the leather band. Any fix? Yesterday was working fine when i was driving to work then i noticed at work when i twisted my wrist nothing happened.
Try more of a 'flick' with your wrist than a 'turn' with your wrist.
I too am having this issue. I just did a complete factory reset on the device, still no luck. I was worried my gryoscope may be busted, but it seems to be working at least by using a testing app I found, though I am not sure how reliable that is.
No matter how hard I flick my wrist, the screen won't come on. What's more, putting it in Ambient mode will show the black and white screen for 1 second, then the screen turns off, as if the device was face down.
Quite honestly, I think it may be a busted Gryoscope, which would suck, so I'm going to test a few more things and see.
---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------
Factory Reset with no apps installed didn't help. Called Motorola, they are shipping me a new device.
Can't think of it being anything other than a busted Gyro that always points down.
Question for the OP, at any time did you use the latest Nexus QI charger to charge your device? Doubt that has anything to do with it, but want to know just in case.
Well, the Gyro in my watch is working again, but I'm still going to follow through with the replacement, since I don't want to risk it happening again. Nothing was done to fix it, it just randomly started working Saturday night. The sensor test I mentioned earlier is showing full functionality now.
Candidly, you're probably smart to do so. Tech being what it is, often times you get a device with bugged hardware. Let us know how the replacement works out for you.

Same problem here... Seems to have a link with aftermarket QI charger. The first time I've put it on the charger pad the screen flipped upside down. Since then, no waking up from wrist movement and even on the original charger it's showing upside down.
I don't know what to do !!!
This is my second watch i had a crack on the first one taking it out of the box I don't want to wait another week to get a replacement !

Came back to normal without any reasons... oh well....
my moto 360 also doesn't wake anymore, but also not when i tap it
if i tap and hold, i feel the vibration that shows up to change the watch face and when i click the side button you see this menu before it goes back to the clock
Wow, this just started happening to me too! I was hoping to find the solution in this thread, so I hope this isn't a sign of universal hardware failure!
Started happening to me too just yesterday.
Bummer
Been a few days for me. . . not responsive on wrist turn or tap.

Got mine working again. If you haven't already tried, open android wear app on your phone, then toggle the setting "tilt to wake screen" a few times (make sure it ends up ON however). Also, on your watch, make sure theatre mode is off.
I was having the same problem. It was theater mode. Somehow it was turned on,I turned it off and now the wake function works again.
Mine stopped working too a few days ago. I toggled 'tilt to wake screen' in the wear app and it started working again.

Burn-in: does anyone have it yet? How paranoid should we be?

Has anyone noticed any burn-in problems yet? I've seen reports of the problem for some other watches (LG), but so far nothing specific here for the Huawei.
It's so far so good for me, but I've been extremely nervous about this issue. I avoid faces with things like thick tic marks or logos in ambient mode. I know about Wear's built-in "protection," but I don't have a lot of confidence in it. Am I being unreasonable?

I had the GWR and didn't have any issues with that at all. That said I turn the screen off at night during charging so maybe that helps. I'll keep an eye on the Huawei, but I'm hopeful that it will be fine.

I had the GWR for almost a year too. Always used watchfaces that are 'always on' (so no dimmed mode without background) and always had the charging animation on by night. Never experienced any burn-in.
I just powered mine on for the first time last night. I played with it for a few hours, then put it in the charger for the night and this morning it has burn-in!! How could it happen so fast??

it is very bad, sorry for that, were you using this watchface long time ago? what is the watch face look like in ambient mode? maybe the watch got really hot, and screen on while charging. i started to worry about the screen quality of this watch.
Edit:
i have seen this is your first day, i think maybe a faulty screen
Yeah, I'm wondering if your watch just froze in full display mode overnight.

That deserves an RMA and you deserve a new replacement watch.
I sometimes get lag on mine, im not sure if it's actual lag or whether im doing something wrong but as someone mentioned if the watch went full brightness and is charging then the heat might have done it?
I returned it yesterday to best buy. Lucky me though. . they had cyber Monday deals and it was on sale for $50 less! !
I noticed that when the minute hands on mine move (ie every minute) that the whole screen kind of does a refresh. I'm using a custom watch face called InstaWeather, and in the settings there's an option to help with screen burn. I wonder if this is it? So every minute, every pixel would have been off/on or on/off?

yes, this is an android wear burn in protection buy moving a few pixels in all directions, works very good if you don't have large objects in the ambient mode, and won't help much if you have.

In my opinion, yes, you are being overly worried. First the technologies itself has improved and we see less burn-in even when we set screens on to test such a thing. Second, the ability to move(write) a watch face or screen is not some huge leap, in fact it's really super easy to add to an OS to simply move the screen pin outs when in any long display mode. Beyond all that, app makers, watch face builders, now have the old data and make sure they write to avoid any long same display visual mode.
Easy to add to an app, when write same display, write 2 pixels, change.
Then after all that we have face on mode and ambient mode, which in my daily use changes my watch face enough that I would never get burn in. Agree that I am a heavy user of the watch, I tend to have to change twice a day. Perhaps someone that used the watch much less would have more of a concern?
I have the same problem

Wrong. You must not understand what screen burn in is. No new technology has come out that will stop screen burn in. The software that moves the pixels over only works if the object is 1 pixel wide other wise it doesn't work screen burn in will still happen. And they do not have it where the same pixels won't be used otherwise in ambient mode it would jump around not wiggle.

Fare enough, just my opinion, & you have yours. Too bad you had to start by saying wrong.
Samsung has made changes to light output and color to reduce burn in, and we all know there is some type of display movement now to also reduce burn in, so it's odd you claim there has been nothing.
Anywho, I don't get burn in so yea, maybe with your attitude if you do, you deserve it?

I'm not going to start it by saying you're right, am I? Samsung didn't make changes to anything in light output the only thing that's changed is adaptive screen color which is meant to adapt the screen contrast to show what's on screen in the best possible colors. There is no new technology that will stop burn in. You must not have understood me. The image wiggle is a software attempt to stop screen burn in from happening but it won't stop it just slow it down. Screen burn in will continue to be a thing until the panels we use change technology. I didn't say that nothing has been made to prevent it.
And if you sense attitude in a straightforward response that's on you. I'll let karma deal with that comment. I personally don't get screen burn in and I've had a SAMOLED device since the Samsung Epic. I just understand how to prevent it. But just because I've never had it I won't tell people that they're overly concerned about screen burn in.

Watch face burn in

Hello all, I haven't seen this problem posted elsewhere, but I've experienced burn in problem with my Huawei watch. I've sent an email to Huawei requesting warranty repair/replacement. As some of you may recall when the watch first came out and their were issues with the "red tint" and battery life, Huawei extended the warranty on the watch to 2 years. So, I am expecting that they will honor this. Anyone else know of a problem like this or have an occassion to ask Huawei to honor that 2 year warranty?
Pro tip: warranty on any electronic device is 2 years in Europe.
Thanks, I am in the US, so I guess that doesn't help me. We'll see what Huawei says.

Indeed. I got my HWatch in February too and I have been using the display turned on always(when on the wrist) and have not experienced any burn in. The thing is that I made sure not to fidle with the screen wake time which is by default 5 seconds(probably for good reason) and I also made sure that every watchface that I use has Burn In Protection.
If you followed the same guidelines, then the only alternative would be that you ended up with a faulty device from the start.

You can read about it in the description of the watchface(Google Play or watchface client on the phone if it is a customizable one), you can also see if the watchface has shifted whilst glancing at your watch in ambient mode and waking it up by touching/press power button(it will align with the normal watchface) or better yet: leave your watch on the table on one side and film it with timelapse for a couple of minutes with your phone while having the phone in a fixed position aka not in your hand-you will see the watchface shifting.
Hope this info helps
P. S. : I don't think the the feature in developer mode actually works cuz it never stays activated for me.

Thanks so much. Just noticed that shift you said when coming out of ambient mode and I didn't know what it was. Just acquired this watch coming from a Gear s2 and so far I am loving it. Thanks for the info!

Mine just did the same thing overnight, tried factory resetting and flashing a stock image. Going to RMA mine.
Did you do like Juliogo suggested? Go to settings > about > build number. Tap on build number a bunch to enable Developer Option. Go back to settings, now at the bottom is Developer Options. Click that then the 7th option is Wear Developer Option. 3rd option down is "Force display burn-in protection". Enable that. Good luck.

Will this harm watch? Why was it disabled to begin with?
Shatter their dreams! and haunt their nightmares !
So it's really for watches with OLED screens. LCD doesn't really have the burn in issue. What it does if very slightly move the watch face around so the number lines are always in the same place. See a timelapse video here:

Question about an proximity sensor issue

So i have an H812 model and last year i had the dreaded boot loop issue but got it fixed under warranty and no issue since with that. The issue that is irritating the hell out of me now is that the double tap to turn screen on just stopped working reliably. It barely ever works.
I've tried the sensor calibration from the hidden menu and i have a question about that also. My sensor acts like it calibrates fine but the # next it seems kinda low (# next to proximety cal pass ...). It's around 48. See screenshot for reference taken from xda https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3513220&d=1445359160
Has my sensor just crapped out? and if so, is that normal. Any help would be appreciated, i've gotten so addicted to using that feature that people ask me what the hell i'm doing when i try to turn their phones screen on lol.
Edit: No screen protector on btw and the internal board as far as i can see seems fine too. And the double tap to turn screen off works fine.

So i have an H812 model and last year i had the dreaded boot loop issue but got it fixed under warranty and no issue since with that. The issue that is irritating the hell out of me now is that the double tap to turn screen on just stopped working reliably. It barely ever works.
I've tried the sensor calibration from the hidden menu and i have a question about that also. My sensor acts like it calibrates fine but the # next it seems kinda low (# next to proximety cal pass ...). It's around 48. See screenshot for reference taken from xda https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3513220&d=1445359160
Has my sensor just crapped out? and if so, is that normal. Any help would be appreciated, i've gotten so addicted to using that feature that people ask me what the hell i'm doing when i try to turn their phones screen on lol.
Edit: No screen protector on btw and the internal board as far as i can see seems fine too. And the double tap to turn screen off works fine.
Thanks

Is the little black rubber plug in the prox sensor. They may have forgot to put it back in. This little black plug is required for proper prox sensor to function properly.
Thnaks for the response but It worked perfectly for quite some time after the board was replaced by the service center so don't think that's it.
I'm guessing you dropped your phone. That's the problem

Sorry man, never got an alert to this but better late than never . Can't recall but i might have. Why would you say that? Is there a possibility something moved or broke or just plain got whacked out of place? Of course the issue is still there. I was thinking about opening it up anyways so i'll take a look. Thanks

So i opened it up and checked the rubber piece just to make sure and it's there. Everything else looks ok. I guess the sensor just crapped out and will just continue to live with it.
