There have been numerous times where I wanted to keep an app open for an extended period but every time the watch sleeps it goes back to the watch face.
I know it's still early in the game but is anyone else wanting a way to keep your currently active app open through sleep so you didn't have to keep reopening the app?
yes was trying to use my grocery list on keep the other day from my watch and had this issue....

Are you talking about Google Keep app? I just used it at Costco today for about 30 minutes and it stayed open on the watch until I swiped it closed. I thought it was pretty cool.
Yeah my screen would go black and when I reactivated it, it would be on the watchface, not keep.

Just got back from the grocery store, Keep stayed on the whole time. If I think of anything to help I'll post it. This is a really handy feature. :laugh:
I am looking for something like this for other apps not grocery...is this something that work globally?
On my rooted Gear was able to use Xposed to set RunKeeper to stay on...or like the Gear if I could raise my wrist to see last screen would be nice

Hi all, heres the story:
At first, I thought I was loosing my mind, I kept checking my phone and the WiFi was always off, which is weird for me.
Anyway I turn it back on and go about my day, check half an hour later its off.
I was like "im sure I turned that back on" anyway same again half an hour later.
So I was watching it this dinner, and low and behold I watch both my WiFi and my network connections restart themselves like someone was switching them on and off, but the WiFi didn't re-connect and stayed off, wereas data re-connected ok.
It goes on ! I then realised that my phone was calling people by itself, which is also weird as theres no buttons to accidently press to call people? (ITS TOUCHSCREEN!!!)
Anyway, today I recieved a text off someone asking me why the heck I'd just sent them map co-ordinates.
So someone or my phone is sending people map co-ordinates....
The ONLY thing I can think of is Cerberus, could Cerberus be causing this?
Is this the phone telling me its on its way out?
Any solutions?
THANKS ALL !
You have kind of answered your own question. Just uninstall Cerberus and see if it fixes it.

Yay yet another completely useless response thanks but I said could it be Cerberus?
Does any1 else have a suggestion I could gain something from?
As stated before, I will try removing Cerberus but would like any information or suggestions please.
Malware? Maybe you installed an app that's malicious.

try and remember what apps you installed around the time this started to happen and work your way backwards

Thanks for all your reponses, thats the thing I'm really picky over apps, and havent really installed an app for months on my HOX, as I generally do everything on my N7 now.
UPDATE:
I un-installed Cerberus, cleared cache and tried to find any left behind data(wasnt any?)
Also deleted my device off the Cerberus app website
LOW AND BEHOLD THIS MORNING CONNECTIONS TURN OFF AND ON?!?!?!
What can be doing this? I only have apps from trusted Vendors such as Natwest, Vodaphone, couple of games, Tasker etc :/
Any ideas?
Can it be Tasker? It's supposed to automate tasks. Maybe there are some causing all this. Try freezing it.

I also thought it could be tasker, but Tasker has been setup for months and months, and not changed for atleast 2/3 months+
I checked tasker, and theres only 3 profiles, which have nothing to do with any connections.
They're profiles such as, plug headphones in and music player appears.
PS - Cannot freeze, stock and un-rooted.
My mate had similar issues with his SGS2. Upon examining the phone I discovered an app called Blackmart Alpha, I discovered it was a program which downloads cracked/patched apps. Did a hard reset of the phone and all was fixed, well not all, he was very pi$$ed with me for losing a heap of apps.

I know where your coming from mate, but this is not me.
I enjoy supporting the developers that make apps, and if that means buying a paid version of an app then so be it.
I don't download any dodgey things, all my downloads are through the play store.
Bah this is pickling me
Latest thing I downloaded was quadrant benchmark (week ago?)

Try hard reset then load your apps one at a time you will soon discover the culprit.

Decided I'm gonna Factory Reset, as that's what HTC would tell me anyway, so may aswell.
Also its nice to do sometimes, like having your room painted isn't it, feel all fresh and happy haha.
(Blagging myself to do it here)
So yeah, Ima get it done
(Tempted to finally, after 3 years of Android, to download a launcher and use something other than sense )

This will drive me insane until I figure it out or get an answer or some sort of modded rom. On my S3 these settings were independently controllable, I used sound manager (before that, Tasker) to set schedules to turn the notifications off at night. Does anyone know how to unlink these?
Don't believe it's an option on the One. Likely will need a mod in a rom

Might want to look into Tasker to automate the disabling sync at night. Or something similar. I have my phone switch into a 'sleep mode' where I can still get calls but don't get notifications.

I have tasker and used to use it a lot. Just another puzzle to work out. some people do crosswords! Can you post your tasker profile?
This bothers me as well. Anyone with a spare $.99 willing to try SwitchPro Widget? It's been reported to work on the International One.

I don't understand when people say tasker is a puzzle.. It's easy to figure out and has a lot of guides. I have it turn off wifi and data silence my phone and only ring if certain people call at night for emergencies. It also puts my phone on vibrate if I am busy with something on my calendar.

You would ask me to do that the day I send my phone off. I can't look right now, but when I created the profile I just opened the app and goofed with it. Have you checked it out lately? The new UI apparently made things much easier and I was able to cobble it together very easily. It's not selective like "only let my family" call at night.. but I did do a time event, said after 11pm, then turn off background sync .. I also set notification volume to 0. There were far more options in Tasker than HTC had available out of the gate.
If you can't figure it out send me a PM and when my phone returns I'll get that profile set backup and I can pass it along.

Thanks, I can figure it out, that is at least half of the enjoyment. The other half is sporting around the automation. Just got a lot on my plate right now, thought I might try to "cheat" off you.
First off let me say Hands Free Mode is turned off. On two occasions now I driven home from work and see I've missed a call. The log shows it was only within the last 10 minutes and it takes 25 minutes to get home. Now I know the phone will ring. Played phone tag yesterday with my boss. No one I work with has an S4 so I don't know if this is a big issue but my wife has one and she seems to be having the same issue. I'd love any suggestions as to what might be going on.

Possible deadzone on the route you take to and from work? Are you rooted? What modem/baseband are you on?

No at the time I wasn't rooted. Stock everything. And there's no deadzone. That would suck. Thanks for the reply. I've since rooted the phone and done some stuff with greenify but still waiting for a phone call while driving to see if it's still a problem.
This actually happens to me all the time when I drive. I found that turning down the volume of my cars music that's blasting helps tremendously. After doing that my phone suddenly started "ringing" again.

So this morning I woke up to my Moto 360 vibrating at 5:17am. First I looked at my phone to see if there was an alarm set there, but there wasn't. I just dismissed it from my watch and went back to bed.
This is the first time this has happened, but I was curious to know if anyone else has experienced this before.
It just happened again. This time at 3:47am. What the hell is going on? Is my watch possessed?
your watch controls its own alarms. have you gone in to the apps and checked to see if you have a timer/alarm set up ?

I had no clue the watch had it's own alarm app. I thought it just tethered off the phone. Sure enough, there were two alarms in there which I never set. Now I'm curious to know how they got in there.
Oh well, they're deleted now, so they won't be waking me up any longer.
Thanks for your help!

i really wish there was an option to tether the two. it seems redundant, but if your phone isn't within arm's reach it would be handy both for setting and for responding.
Personally I think a vibrating is useless anyways. That wouldn't wake me up. Too bad it didn't have a small speaker for beeping.
I just got a Sony Smartwatch 3 today (christmas present) and are there any good tricks i should know? Also feel free to share noob tips in general

Congratulations.
I have turned location off on the watch settings as I don't need it. Battery lasts into a fourth day at the moment. Most useful so I have installed is wear mini launcher. Between that and using NFC to start my watch I don't need to press the side button on the watch at all. I also use Facer to make my own watch faces.

Tap on watch screen it will light up itself. I'm curious about how to use NFC to start watch?
I hold the SW3 against the back of my HTC One. If the watch was off it starts up. If it was on it opens the Wear companion app on my phone and connects.
No matter what I do I can't get nfc to work with my n6
it works with my xperia zl

does it mean that your watch does not have location info at all or is it taken from your phone?

I dont have anything I use the watch GPS for so I toggled it off. All I can see it would be used for is phone-free run logging, and I dont do that. Thus I hope to avoid any random app firing up the gps and wasting my watch battery. I just use the phone's location because it is hardly ever more than 20ft from my watch.
