So the battery life on my 360 sucks really bad, like 6 hrs sucks. So it died last night at work, completely dead. Then when I got home I stuck it on the charger it started with a 16% charge. How does that work? If it had 16% how did it die. Any ideas? Oh yeah and I really need to find a way to turn off the wrist movement screen on thing. I drive a forklift for a living and it turns on while I'm turning the steering wheel. Any help with that would be awesome too.
Thanks

The only advice I would say is get it fixed under the warranty. I'd try a reset first, but if that doesn't fix it then send it in as a defunct battery.
had the exact issue when I got the watch and a reset fixed it.
No idea about movement sensor,but I'd like it to be more sensitive to wrist movement.

Yes, i know, stupid move.
Got it out right away and dried it up with paper.
When i try to turn it on it gets past the T-mobile white screen to the green windows mobile one and then the screen shuts down but the keyboard is still light-up.
Does anyone know what i should do in this case? This happened 5 minutes ago and it's still drying up. Anyone have any tips?
What are the chances that it's bricked? Should i be looking for a new cell?
Take out the batter asap and leave it out for around 3 days. Next, put the phone in some sunlight or some rice to dry the water out. After that you can try putting the battery back in and hope it's back alive.
cool thanks. I guess it was a bad idea of me taking the battery in and out and turning it on and off to see if it's still working.
I got it under my lamp right now which emits a reasonable amount of heat.
I'll leave it here and hope for the best.
Ok well i had it dry up in a bowl of rice with the lamp over it.
Everything seems to be working fine... except,
it shows as if the cellphone is plugged in and charging when it's not.
Battery went from 89% to 100% with the cell just sitting on my table...
Anyone has any hypothesis on how that might have happened?

Well electricity and water are never a good mix, i droped my first pay and go "Nokia Ringo" down a toilet "not my toilet even worse" and dried it, it was under guarantee so just phoned up Nokia didn't tell them what i had done just stated it wasn't working, sent it away and got a replacement.
I have to say I think you should have been a little more patient. I know its hard but this has happened to me twice, once with a Magician and once with an iPaq. The first time I panicked and turned the device back on to see if it was working. It spluttered to life and then died - never to work again. The second time I removed the battery, left the case open, etc for two full days and when it came back on everything was fine.
I know its so hard to leave your device off when you are panicking. But if this only happened last night you should really consider giving it at least another 24 hours. Even though it may appear to be dry now there is obviously still some small problem with power discharge - and if that problem is due to even a tiny bit of moisture near the battery it could rapidly turn from a minor glitch into a full scale breakdown.
Actually the fact I am so damn clumsy probably explains why my first post to this forum concerned backing up my phone! LOL
I hope it all works out for you.
GS
I know i should i have been more patient but it's just so hard...
I got a replacement for now tho, so it'll stay in there for at least another day.
Thanks for the advice guys.
I know this is an issue with the S2 but it seems to follow to the S3. I have the phone next to my bed so with the bigger & brighter screen, it lights up the entire room and wakes me up. I dont want to place a cover over the screen like what I did with my S2 so any other suggestion?

Isn't this more to do with the notification that the battery is now fully charged? When the notification appears, it will turn the screen on. Does the same happen when you get a late night text or something?
Unfortunately, I can't find anything that will turn off notifications. You could try "Profile Scheduler" by Wetpalm. While this function isn't currently available in the current version, a quick e-mail to the developer may get him to add this as an option. It would be nice to say when docked, and its after 11pm, don't turn the screen on. I'm not sure if this is feasible, but give it a go.
HTH.
whats if you set the brightness to lowest? do you still wake up then?
Can't you just turn off notification from toggle? Or don't use the dock at night and charge with cable turn phone face down...

Sounds like a fairly easy job for tasker.

totally agree on this one
I advise you to place your phone a little far away from you, especially when charging, because this causes much more rediation, does harm to you. And even if it turns on when fully charged, it won't affect you much.

Couldn't agree more. I would also recommend wearing a tin foil hat to bed (you can buy these or make them yourself) to further limit the severe impact that the aforementioned 'rediation' has on your soft, vulnerable brain tissue.
This made me laugh "rediation" why not build a faraday cage too then ?
I know it is annoying when your room is pitch black and you recieve a text or what ever then the screen lights up the room lol life is not easy...

When battery gets to 100% charged, it will power on and goes to the home screen. it's not a txt/email notification, it's a full battery notification. I now charge my phone to complete before going to bed which seems to help with the 2AM wakeup.
Unfortunately, need to keep phone close by since I work in incident management. I get those late night calls when things happen and you all should be happy that there are people like me around It could save your life or a love one's life.
I'll try tasker later this week to see if I can get it to work otherwise I'll try your recommendation. Thanks!
Seems like it's kind of difficult to get the screen to turn on. I turn my wrist up to look at the watch and it doesn't turn on. I have to kind of forcefully snap my wrist horizontally for the screen to come on, just a casual horizontal movement isn't enough. Anyone else? It's possible I have faulty hardware.

Mine is very very accurate.. maybe a device reset?
Mine works 8/10 times. Every now and then it fails to come on.

Mine goes on really easy. I have actually been looking for some sort of a lock for the screen because my 6 month old was doing all sorts of things to it just during the first 15 minutes of holding her.
I put in another post that I wish the button on the side of the Moto 360 was a lock / unlock that kept the phone in ambient mode and stopped screen touches because I have not used it otherwise for anything else and it seems like it might be a useful feature.
You have to make sure your watch is on snug. If it's loose it will not register as accurately
Mine pisses me off that it turns on so much. Want to disable accelerometer/gyroscope wake and make it on button press only... Horrible if you have a long commute. I drove 3 hours and lost 60% battery from all the wakes.
I'm jealous of you guys. I have to snap my hand around like I'm saluting someone and even then it only works half the time.

Worked for me as well. I always had trouble getting it to turn on without 2 or 3 attempts at it. Tightened it by one notch and have no problems getting it to come on.
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.

Hi, I’m having a problem with my Huawei Mate 20 that I bought in 2019. The screen brightness is too low even when set to 100%. This started happening two days ago after I spent the day outside in the sun (i don't know if hot temperatures influenced but has already been 2 days so is strange). When I got home, I charged my phone and opened some apps, but it started crashing and the screen went black. I tried force rebooting it multiple times but the screen remained black. I thought it might be a battery issue so I charged it for an hour and a half but still nothing. After 40 minutes, I accidentally pointed a lamp at my phone and could see that it was working perfectly but the brightness was very low. A similar thing happened to me in 2020 but I can’t remember how I fixed it. I tried searching for solutions online and on XDA developers but none of them worked for me except one that involved ADB which I can’t try because for some reason I can’t connect my phone to my PC with USB debugging. My warranty has expired like 2 years ago so lol... and I haven’t received a response from Huawei support yet (i emailed them yesterday)
Welcome to XDA.
It was heat damaged. Anything above 125F can do it. Exposure to direct sunlight on a hot day is especially bad.
I did this accidentally to my Samsung S4+ years ago. Very faded out and got worse the more I used it.
Oddly after sitting unused it got slightly better. After I got a new phone it sat for months unused, it improve further still. After 3 years it appears to operate normally now. The crystals seem to have reverted back. Peculiar critters.
Yours may or may not do the same. There may be a way to accelerate the process. Mine sat in both hot and cold environments during that time.
Putting a charge on the crystals by using the phone is probably what hindered their recovery.
Either replace the display or let it rest. Using it will likely make it worse...

Hi black, thank you for the warm welcome and for responding to me. In fact, now that I think about it, the last time this happened to me, I had exposed it to a lot of sunlight. Would it be a good idea to place it in a cooler or shadier location to speed up its recovery? And approximately how long should I let it rest? About a week?

Cooling it might hinder it's recovery. Not really sure. I was surprised when mine eventually recovered. Not saying this will be your outcome.
Also it may take way longer then is practical
If you need to pull data leave it sit for as long as you can wait.
It's back lighting is working, right?

It can easily happen; protect from drops, water... and heat.
The battery may have failed if the phone died completely.
