I was wondering if someone has noticed similar behavior on their G3. My G3 is 100% stock and is only a week old. Wherever I wake up my device, about 5 seconds after turning it the screen has a small flicker and the screen seems to auto adjust or calibrate. This only happens once every time I wake up the device. My auto-brightness is set to off and the screen is at 100% brightness. I did some tests and noticed that when I wake up the device with the top sensors covered (proximity, front camera etc), that the screen doesn't have this flick to it. Is there some sort of "outdoor" mode or something on these where the screen will self calibrate when it notices it's in a bright situation?
Please test on your devices and let me know if you see anything similar to this. I tried taking a video but it's so quick and subtle that the video doesn't show it.
mine does same. vzw. covered sensors, still brightness adjustment.
only just now noticed today, but could have been happening all along.
I think it has something do with the proximity sensor. If you cover the sensor with a note pad you cannot turn on the screen, prob a tap to wake feature so it doesn't turn on in your pocket. But if you lift the note pad just enough to turn the screen on and quickly cover it, mine does not flick. I have tried this many times and worked 100% of the times.
My friend who works for at said that his does the same as well as the demo. Must be a weird firmware issue. Hopefully its resolved in the next ota
How many times are you gonna make this thread?

Has anyone else noticed that when in a dark area, pressing the main button will turn on the screen but it will then automatically and immidiately turn off?
Several times I've gotten into a battle with the phone only to lose, turning it on and it turns off, then turning it on again and so on...
To compound the issue, in these situations it seems that double tap is signifigantly less responsive to activate the screen as well.
I'm pretty sure this phone is using some sort of facial recognition, it has smart stay doesnt it? I think it has gravity/accelerometer to turn on the screen when you pull it out of your pocket. In the back of my mind I'm thinking that since it cant see me it is shutting off but this doesnt seem consistent...
I'm running stock rom, rooted with twrp. Any ideas?
I have not experienced that. Did your G3 do that out of the box?

Never heard of it. Screen is set to auto off in 30 seconds. Change it to 2 min and you should be good. If u running without a case then maybe the hand is touching the edges of screen this will also shut screen off in double tap.
BAD ASS G3

I didn't notice it until the last week or so. but I kind of feel like that was because I hadn't used the phone that much up until then. I didn't make any major changes to the phone immediately before I started noticing it either, I had already had it rooted for about a week. I feel like the stock rom does have some glitches to it.
The G3 does have a "smart screen" feature that detects your face (Settings > Display). Disable that and see if it helps.
I've not run into this in the dark but have when I try and use my arm band holder when running. The holder covers the ambient light sensor so the phone thinks it was accidentally turned on like in a pocket and shuts right off. Super annoying.
Noticed similar behavior when the phone is in my bike mount at night. Basically it's acting like the proximity sensor is covered. In my bike mount's case, it is covered by a clear screen cover, but normally that doesn't trigger the proximity sensor. But when it's very dark out (not under a street light etc.), it seems to think it's blocked and turns itself off. Annoying.

Lol.
I have the same issue EVERY night. Why is that? It's very annoying
Same issue here
it seemed to resolve itself when I factory reset my phone
but after I got my apps reinstalled from my google backup it started again
so it seems like it's a software issue - not sure to which app it is related to
let me know if you find a fix - this is quite annoying
Me too. I've been facing this issue at night, when it's very dark.
Me and my buddy were in the car during a roadtrip and it was very dark, I mean like: No lights outside, no lights inside the car, the double tap feature didn't even work to begin with and whenever I tried to use the "Power Button" It would come on and then suddenly 'boom' Turn off, now this would happen a few times until it stays on. Weird...
I just experienced this myself, first time I've seen it happen in the 30 + G5's that I've sold. If it's in the dark it just doesn't turn on at all. I hope LG is fixing this. I'm about to Factory Reset it right now and hope for the best! Someone else mentioned that this is the only forum that is disccusing this issue. It must be a very few that are effected. I'm testing another one as we speak.
Has this issue been resolved? My friend's G3 also has this issue. Day time no problem. When it is dark the screen wont' stay on.
Same problem, no fix yet
Same problem here - Pointing it at any light and pressing the power button will turn it on. (As will plugging it into power). Tried tinkering with all sorts of settings (face recognition/auto dimming feature/etc) nothing worked. Tried factory reset, that didn't work either.
My issue started after i had my screen replaced (by a shady shop) who probably didn't do a good job of packing it back together....I'm going to see if I can have someone open it up and clean it out a bit..
I have the same issue on my G3. Even if you're under the covers in bed, the thing doesn't turn on until it gets light. It basically doesn't turn on in the dark through double tap and actually not even with the power button. It could become a safety hazard for someone in an emergency situation.

I have also same problem. No solution yet.
So I've finally had the chance to play with one of these watches extensively, and I am baffled by ambient mode.
It's not that it still turns off sometimes; that makes perfect sense. What's wrong with it is that it doesn't actually update even when the screen is on.
Test it yourself. Use the default watch face, enable ambient mode, and go in a completely dark room. You can leave the watch still or move it about, just don't let it act as if you're raising your arm and brighten the display.
Watch it for two or three minutes, and you'll notice that even though the screen remains on, it never updates -- the minute hand never moves, and so it doesn't actually show the right time very quickly after it dims. (This is with the official, default watch face, a just-rest watch, the latest firmware installed, and plenty of battery remaining.)
When the screen turns on from a raise or tap in ambient mode, you can actually see the minute hand jump forward several minutes in one go. Even with ambient mode disabled, the watch still turns on automatically with the raise gesture, and it takes no longer to do so than it does in ambient mode.
That implies there is no reason to use it other than vanity. After all, in the brief time before the backlight comes on the watch shows the wrong time, and it doesn't actually show the right time any faster than it would have.
But it's not really a vanity mode either, because except in a very dark place, the dimmed screen is indistinguishable from a powered off one to those standing near you. So you're wasting power, but still look like you have a blank screen on your wrist.
So what, precisely, is the point? It seems to me to add no benefit, just to waste battery. I'm baffled.

I played with Ambient Mode a little before the recent update, but battery life just wasn't sufficient to keep it on. After the update, battery life improved enough for Ambient Mode, so I switched it on. I dealt with it a couple days, then ultimately turned it off for this very reason. It just seemed clunky to me, and as you stated, I'd often glance at my wrist only to see the wrong time until suddenly the watch came fully on and updated.
I was excited for Ambient mode, but like you, I no longer see the point. I'd rather just have a user-controllable setting for "fully on" sensitivity. If I could make my 360 just a little more sensitive to my raising my wrist action, it'd be perfect without Ambient Mode.
I wish I could have the screen on all the time in some cases.. like if you go to someplace classy, i would have the face on all the time displaying the watch face. Thats just me.
I've seen the screen update while it was dim. I do think that it is too dim to use outside like you mentioned.
I noticed this as well. Surely just a bug or an issue with android wear that will be fixed at some point. I'm also sure they will provide a lot more features to regulate screen controls, on, off, brightness, etc in future updates. It's just a matter of time.
I look at it this way... the sensor is kind of future proof if anything. Might not be very useful now, but could have a lot of potential in the next few months or once custom ROM's start rolling out.
Android wear is still in the early stages. It can only get better. Just be patient, we are early adopters on first generation hardware.

Just watched mine move the minutes hand just fine in ambient mode... this is with the classic Motorola face.

I have started using ambient mode for the first time in a bright office environment and noticed that at random times the display completely turns off. It turns back on once I move my hand ever so slightly. For me Ambient Mode should always be on regardless of lighting condition and watch orientation.

I thought it would stay on the dimmed mode the whole time too... but like you said it turns on with even the slightest rotation of the wrist now, and that means we can finally glance at the watch and see the time!
:good:
The minuets do update in real time so idk what you're seeing?
This observation definitely needs to be settled because we have 2 conflicting reports here. Some of you are claiming the watch does not update the time even when the screen is on unless you fully wake the screen. Others are saying it updates just fine, so what gives?
FYI my G watch always displays the correct time, even when dimmed, so I dont think it's an Android Wear problem. Sounds kinda like additional battery conservation steps by Moto. They are essentially sleeping the CPU so that there is just enough juice remaining to keep the screen on for 16+ hours. I just dont understand how some of you are experiencing this and others are not.
for me, in ambient mode, the screen still turns off after a while. but it turns back on much quicker than with ambient mode off. it often takes an exaggerated bring-up-arm movement to turn on the screen with ambient off. i used to resort to tapping the screen instead. with ambient on the battery still last me a "work day". off charger at 7AM and dies around 10PM or so...battery lasts longer with stock faces compared to Facer faces...
Most developer purposes.
My ambient mode used to stay on all the time now it turns off the screen..

I just started using it and noticed the screen stays on if you keep it flat horizontal, but if you turn your wrist past 45 degrees it turns off.
Maybe they added that with the update, did ambient mode used to stay on even when that watch is sideways?
Ambient is so useless for me, the screen is almost off all the time... So frustrating coming from a g watch

For me, I believe I have seen my watch 'get stuck' maybe once or twice where the time on the dim screen wasn't the same as I had on my computer. This could just be a difference in the clocks, as whenever I check both my phone and my dim watch together, they are the same. Like RunNgun42 said, I think it might be a thing where the proc is in sleep mode to try and save power and isn't keeping up the time as accurately as it could. Once you shake it though and the screen lights up again, the proc will come out of sleep and maintain more accurate timekeeping.
Isn't there a screen always on option in the android wear app?
And yes ambient mode still turns off when the watch is at an angle consistent with being down at your side or is completely still.

No, you can't keep the screen on at all times out of the box, but some 3rd party software can do it...
Ambient mode is a lot quicker to wake up and react than non-ambient, it's a lot more accurate (non-ambient often stays off when I turn my arm to look at the time), it's easier to see what time it is, and it acts a lot more like a conventional watch- the display is on when you need it.
Battery drain is not a biggie, I get through the day, every day.
So after messing around with a few suggestions of people who did this accidentally. I have been able to repeat it every night.
1. Put the phone on the charger with ambient mode on or off doesn't matter.
2. Go into android wear app on your phone.
3. When the watch face has dimmed on the charger switch ambient mode on,(using the phone) the screen with go bright again then it will dim. Once it has dimmed wait 5 seconds and turn ambient mode to off. The screen should now turn off on the watch.
4. If you put it on the charger with ambient mode enabled wait for it to dim, wait 5 seconds then switch ambient mode off. If the face doesn't turn off you are now able to start at step 3 so that's why it didn't matter how you started.
This is the first time I've had something to contribute, so let me know how it works for you. I'll post a video when I get home, unless someone beats me to it. My build is KGW42R if that makes a difference.
This was posted before, but thanks for the contribution.
I'm hoping they eventually put an option in the settings to auto disable display while charging.

for me, after i do this, screen turns off... but eventually in the night, the watch turns back on, i think when my phone does some kinda of check or gets a notification, the watch turns back on... so for me its useless..
Even if the screen is off all night is it safe to leave it on charge all night, especially as it is fully charged after 2 hrs? I've only had my watch since Monday so still figuring out the best practice but I've been charging it for a bit in the evening before heading off to sleep, completely turning it off and then in the morning while getting ready just putting it on the charger to a) turn on and b) charge fully.
I know in the manual it says that it has smart technology to protect it against overcharging but does it not stay hot all night on the cradle?
I would not recommend putting it on charge overnight with the back getting hot and the plastic back being crack prone

Non-issue. The back barely gets hot and even if it does just don't pull on the strap to the point that it causes pressure. Or simply take it off the charger for a minute before putting it on. It's not like its getting hot enough to melt the plastic. You can most definitely charge it overnight without a problem.
I've been doing this since I got the watch but last night after I installed the update the trick won't work. I go through the entire process and all goes like normal, but about 10 seconds after the screen shuts off, the backlight turns on. Anyone else having this issue?

I actually am having this issue. I usually turn off bluetooth on my phone right away, but the watch seems to continue to turn back on with the black screen only, which happened to drain my battery and make the watch really hot. Kinda strange.
This works for me without any issue, even after the last update from yesterday.
I just put the watch on the charger, then from the phone I set the Ambient Mode to ON, then to OFF and the screen turns off.
But here is the trick that I have noticed: you MUST have no light in the room, or cover the watch screen while doing the procedure. If there is light in the room, it won't work ! I accidentally discovered this.
There is also a build.prop edit in the development forum that allows you to change a line and when the watch is put on the charger, it does it automatically.
If you don't want to root your watch and you have a rooted phone, I made an app that does the button pressing for you
So the option to turn off the Display on Charger (Developer Menu) is not fixed?
Not to my knowledge.

I noticed the trick using the ambient setting works does turn off the display immediately but after a while ( not sure how long) the back light comes back. You see a faint back light with screen not nothing showing anything. Can only see this in pitch black at night all lights off

The app that will do the same actions
With the latest update, this method doesn't work anymore. The screen will always turn on with a black screen after a couple of seconds. I don't think I will be charging it overnight anymore and just wait to charge it in the morning while getting ready.
Wish moto would give us an option to use nightstand mode or not. Even when dimmed it's still bright while sleeping.
Ok, so I was hoping the screen off while charging would be fixed or implemented, depends on how you look at it, in 5.0 but it hasn't been. Debugging is enabled and screen off is set but still doesnt' do anything. I found that if you double click the button it will enable theatre mode which does turn off the screen when its charging....for about a minute then the backlight turns back on. Sure, its a black screen but its still on. I really don't need 8 hours of useless wear and tear on my watch when I'm sleeping.
Has someone found a great workaround or something so get it to stay off completely while charging?

Same here.
Even in theatre mode while charging, after a minute or so, the backlight turns on with a complete black screen. Its more evident in a complete dark room. We should report this in bug report to fix. Like u said, is useless and charging battery all night not sounds good for me and the battery life too...
The worst thing is, if you put off the watch from the charger just after backlight turning on, its continue on! Draining your battery like hell until you see and turn on the screen one time at least...dawn bug!
Just double press the side button
Yes double press not three times ....butbthis is only if theatre mode is disabled ....if its enabled 1 touch does it

OMG. I can't believe some of these people. We know what Theatre Mode is and how to enable it, that isn't the problem. After about one minute the BACKLIGHT COMES BACK ON with a black screen. It's obviously a bug, @johnomaz and I suggest we take this up in the Google support forums. People here barely read past the thread title before they think they have the answer.

Click 7 times on build in about. Then in developer settings set awake when charging to enabled - this is bug bit svreen is automatically off during charging. 100% working.
The easiest way to turn the screen off when charging is make sure the watch is still connected to your phone via blue tooth. When it is on the charger. Go into android wear on your phone. Go to settings. Click "AMBIENT MODE ON" wait till the screen dims. Then turn "AMBIENT MODE OFF" the watch screen will then turn off!!!

i think the problem is - that some users don't want to make interactions with the smartphone to get the display off while charging - like me
i tried a lot with the developer options but i didn't get it to work.
sometimes the display turns off completetly, sometimes not ...
now i use slumber again ... i hope motorola will fix this asap
Here is what I do .. works EVERY TIME I do this .. which is every night.
1) Put watch in Theater Mode
2) Put watch on charger
3) Press side button
Watch stays off until I take it off the charger, press the side button to turn the screen on, and then I turn theater mode back off for the day. Has worked every time for me since I got my watch.
There is a Free app in the Google Play app store called "slumber" that turns the face off while charging.
