[solved] how to back out of apps - Moto 360

Ok, I may be stupid, but how do you back out of apps on the Moto 360? If I open mini launcher, or moto steps, I cannot "back out" unless I hit the physical button which turns the screen off..........that's annoying.........

Not that I'm in a hurry, but am I just being dumb?? I figured someone would tell me I asked a stupid question by now? Do we all really have to turn the watch on and off basically in order to get back to the watch face?

Swipe left.

Ok, I open "moto body steps" and it shows my steps, I swipe left and I get a "total" left again and I get a menu to pick the "units of measure" left again and nothing, right past the initial page and I'm back at "mini launcher" left from mini launcher and I get a menu showing my battery, the brightness, and some buttons for wife and other items..... right again and nothing..... the same is true from any app I open from Mini Launcher, so maybe that's the problem??

tried to open from the "start" menu and even from there it was exactly like above.....

Swipe from the left, but place the finger in the middle of the watch screen.
You can assign on your mobile with Wear Mini Launcher application from where the drawer position should be.
Left, bottom or right

I knew I was going to feel stupid, but I also feel much better. The first 2 days I had this watch I had a lot of trouble figuring out how I could make it useful, it seemed almost silly...... but as I continue to wear it I am seeing it's usefulness!! Thanks everyone, I'll mark it "solved" ..... and yes, it's almost always operator error for me

It's all because you didn't go through the initial intro on the watch or on the android wear app... You skipped out of it..

s-pen problem

okay so with the air play thing when i go to hover over something like an icon on the home screen or anywhere for that matter, sometimes it will open it like i clicked the screen when i never actually touched the screen. should i go to sprint or is there something i could try first? thanks guys!!
If you're within you're 14 day period, get it replaced, they swore up and down it was just a feature of the phone at the sprint store and Samsung themselves, but if you bought it online through sprint, call and get it replaced, if you got it at a store stand firm and make them replace it, same thing happened to mine, got a new note and the pen was the issue with the last one

Could also be the sensitivity setting in the S pen. mine was clicking and marking all over the place. I found directions on the web somewhere, but you basically pop out the clickable button cover on the pen with the edge of razor blade (it will go back on), and you will see the adjustable slot by the actual button, turn it counter clockwise,with a small screwdriver or similiar until the sensitivity is where you want it.
Worked for me. Good Luck

Side Lock Button

So I found out real quick last night while playing with my 6 month old baby that this watch needs some sort of lock. When she was squirming around in my arms the Google Voice commands opened a dozen times and she tried to share some of my notifications and reply with Voice for a couple of text messages. And this was all within the first 15 minutes.
I was wondering if there was anyone else experiencing this and their thoughts. I saw a couple of lock screen apps out there but I was thinking with the Moto 360 it would be really nice if that side button was a lock / unlock button for when you want the watch to remain in the ambient mode and not wake up from screen taps. I know that the button switches the watch to ambient mode but it does not seem to lock the screen from touches. Might be a nice idea for future implementation as I have not used the side button for anything yet as the screen wakes when I lift the watch to my face.
What are your thoughts?
this exact thing happened to me yesterday! I have an 8 month old and the watch just attracted him lol
I don't have a creature, but I too would like for the watch to only activate when I want it to. I want to have to press the button to turn the screen on.
Have you guys tried Showear or Lockable? Both are free but Lockable charges for the pin unlock feature.
I don't want just a screen lock, but a lock that completely keeps the screen turned off until I press the hard button on the side. (To not waste battery when I definitely don't want the screen to turn on by touch and/or accelerometer). Does an app exist for this?

Have you tried to shower with it on?
It thinks the water is you touching it, and it goes crazy!

That is exactly what I am looking for. Something that keeps it in the Ambient mode until I press the side button and locking the touch screen. It seems like an easy enough option because the button really has no other use as you can turn the screen on and off by tilting your hand. So it would probably serve better as a locking button.

I do not shower with a watch on so I have not tried it. I am sure it would go crazy. Another reason for a lock button.
Yea a lock app or something would be nice mine is so sensitive I could sneeze and it turns it on..hope something comes about soon

I have come across an app called Baby Time which locks the watch and only allows a specific swipe gesture of up twice and then down twice. Kinda gets the task done but it would be a lot simpler if it was activated by the button on the Moto 360. Another comment is that it replaces the watch face you have with one created in the app which for some reason does not seem to have an option out of the 24 hour clock. I will use for now but I am hopeful that something better will come along. Also have to start the app by saying "Start Baby TIme"
Lol!

Clip Tray automatically closing in a second.

http://sendvid.com/isz0gdq1
Whenever I copy/paste something,the clip tray shows up as usual but closes automatically in a second. Even pressing the arrow key doesn't keep it open. So I can't manage my clipboard.
Note : I recently downgraded from MM to LP & rooted the phone. I also factory reset it but the problem persists.
Sent from my LG-H818 using Tapatalk
I think that's how it's supposed to work.
Later, when you hold the cursor and it shows you the 'CUT COPY PASTE' options, you can see the 3 dots menu to the right. Inside that menu there is the option 'CLIP TRAY' to bring it up and let you choose whatever from history.
I hate talking like this but plz don't be an idiot. I never had this issue before I downgraded to LP so I know how it's supposed to be. Also for the record, tapping the clip tray option doesn't do anything.
I suggest u take a look at the link.
Sent from my LG-H818 using Tapatalk
The link you provided has pop-ups that are reported as malware sites by Firefox and drives people away from it.
The clip tray appearing and closing when you copy something IS the normal behavior, and that is in order to not take screen real estate. If you want to keep it open you have to press the 'pin' button. That's the normal behavior on marshmallow.
As for your out-of-nowhere attitude towards someone who took the time to answer without insulting you in any way, it is obvious you need to seek professional help.
I suggest you do that.

Disable HiSearch Notice

Hi there I have recently brought the mate 20 x and so far the phone is great but there is an annoying feature that I can't seem to switch off and disable.
On the home screen when you swipe down this Hisearch Notice screen pop up and you can everywhere or cancel (I cancel as it asks for to much info). This makes having screen widgets impossible to which I use lots of as in the widget when you scroll down this notification still pops up
Does anyone know how to disable this feature would really be helpful
Thanks

Just learned I hate s10+ & android

I just learned I hate s10+ & android
S10+:
Uninstalled bixby using adb. Button still remains.
The orientation of volume keys and that damn bixby button that i had to create a samsung account to disable it. While powering the device i need to grab the other side with my fingers and squeeze which the volume keys are
Samsung phone app: on speaker screen sleeps after 10 or so seconds.
Found an option called smart stay. enabled that and found lift to wake option..
no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button. And that's if the face recognition works. Sometimes it doesnt turn on. There is a way to disable this but face rec to unlock the phone has to be enabled, defeats the purpose.
Trying turn screen off, end up taking a screenshot.
Battery sucks.
When you grab the phone watching something horizontal, the palm covers the bottom speaker.
?Now i really hate s10+, no aptx hd support?
----------------------
Android "10"
Autofill fighting each other, Android, google chrome and lastpass auto fill is a disaster.
i find myself double tapping on the screen, i see the button as an example get tapped & button gets like shaded as if pressed, gotta tap again.
The clipboard, select all moves from the original place and jumps to "more" for more clipboard options.
the cursor upside down gps logo drag is stupid, draws up a magnifying glass, very irritating.
voice to text is just bad.
Some times highlight something, the clipboard does not popup, gotta grab the page n scroll it, clipboard pops up.
Google suggestions & auto correction sucks.
Battery sucks.
No screen protector, holding down on a field to paste, gotta hold field 2 or three times for paste clipboard pops up.
----------------------
I'll update this op as I go long or if I recall any bloops.
Let the discussion begin. Be adults.
strange... i have no problems at all... from button, auto fill, clipboard.
but sorry... i dont use any of samsung app.. (lastpass, keyboard, voice command etc).. I'm using google.

The only issues I am having with Android 10 is AT&T not knowing how to properly roll out an update before getting rid of all the bugs.
Last Pass is finally usable on Android 10. Not sure why your having problems with it.....

Android Poops allover Crapple. So much more you can do with Open Source. Customisation and apps designed to do specific things that the IPhone can only dream of.
Id rather have a phone i can personalize rather than be held hostage by Apple and limited software .

I have been Android user since the beginning and have a 2nd device which has been an iPhone for 4 years.
Android is superior to iOS in many many ways. The thing is, for the average Joe, the person who will use Verizon's Message+ app just because it was installed, for this user iOS is a better option. Simply works and also simple... no carrier crap.
I know a lady, had the IPhone 6, but really liked the look of the S7 or S8 , cant remember which, she only had it for a month, but she is like theres too much stuff on this to understand, so she went back to iPhone, then decided the IPhone was boring and migrated back to the S9.
As for performance, my partner's friend has the latest iPhone and when they are on a call together in messenger her friend keeps dropping out, my partner has the Samsung A50 because she dosent like curved edges. There never seems to be issues with other people in messenger.
And i think most governments use iPhones because they can't be modified by the average person. And this is why apple sales get their quota, government organizations and Reporter's. Even Mr Trumpty prefers his Samsung over IPhone.
This thread is just weird. If there are multiple apps that handle the same call on Android then you are presented with a prompt by the OS to select a default app to handle that function and then going forward that app will be the one to answer the call when an action triggers that function so I don't understand how this user is getting multiple clipboard apps getting triggered by the clipboard function.
to add another thing there's no way to disable face recognition to open up the screen to the lock screen. I end up hitting the power button to turn the screen on it gets turned on by seeing a face right after that I hit the button and it Powers off this is in a matter of seconds. can't break a habit of powering on the screen with the power button.

The phone turns off because the proximity sensor flashes so your ear doesn't cut people off

LOLWUTT? Just take the phone back and get something else because clearly you don't have a single clue what you're doing or you're trolling.
Only complain I have is that my 3-4 sot equates to 60-80% usage of the battery. I've cleared cache, put most apps to sleep, no gos, no wifi (at work no wifi) no media except Spotify to and from work (1hr total) no nothing autosync.
I'm sick of it. Makes me miss my old phones more because I could leave those things on and get 2 days avg out of them before charging, and that includes watching Netflix, Hulu, YouTube or my Plex server

There is an option in settings > biometrics and securtity> face id > "stay in lock screen" after the phone is unlocked by face-unlock.
You just toggle that switch on.
If you toggle this on, next time you press the power button, the phone will get into the lock screen, it will unlock (if it reads your face), but it will stay in lock screen (so as you can read your notifications etc.). You will have to scroll up to get into the home screen.
I suppose that's what you want to do, correct?

Can you please explain what you are trying to do?
You want to press the power button and not get into home screen, but stay in Lock screen, correct?
If you don't enable face id, it will not unlock and take you to home screen directly. It will stay in lock screen till you unlock it either by the fp scanner or the pin etc.
If you want to have face id enabled, but not get into home screen directly, you toggle the switch I told you in my previous post.
So what is it that you want to do?
He's trying hard to troll, you just covered every other sensible option.
