Weird deal - so I checked screen stay awake under dev options to keep my screen on while charging at work.
However, every time I reboot it disappears. As do any other checked options.
Why? How can I get it to stay!!
Its just the way it is as of now, so you'll have to re-check them.
thanks for the information, at least I know it is not something wrong with my device.
What was Samsung thinking?!?!?
They probably did that in case people forgot it's checked. So that their screens won't stay on indefinitely......
Stay awake while charging
Any updates on this, it is very annoying. Every time I reboot I have to recheck the "stay awake while charging". With all the stuff that we can do after rooting I find it hard to believe that this can not be fixed.
Use Tasker. You can use it to keep your screen on indefinitely while on AC or USB and then set it back to normal when you unplug.

1. Turn off ambient mode
2. Set brightness to 1
3. Limit screen on time by disabling notifications on apps you don't really need to view from the watch, and always covering the display to turn off manually when you are done looking at it.

Also, if you leave it in its charger, and don't use it, it's battery will stay at 100%.
Use a watch face that doesn't have a second hand.

1. Don't use a watch face that didn't come from motorola pre installed. Wait for google to open it up to developers. Right now the way the watch faces work is through apps and that uses more battery.
2. Ambient off
3. Turn off any crazy notifications you get on your phone that you dont care about like twitter

Actually getting a 3rd party watch face that doesn't have a second hand or animation helps battery life a lot.

I concur! Installed custom watch with no "seconds hand", ambient mode is ON, 8am to 10pm drains to 30-35%! Standard Minimal watch face with the same options = 10% at the end of day.

haven't tried it...doesnt seem too convincing to me.
Try downloading mini wear launcher. If you swipe left to right twice you can dim the screen to super dim. I use it when i'm in the office so i dont have a super bright screen for no reason.
The only thing that's made a noticeable difference for me has been turning off ambient mode. For the last week I've been wearing the watch for about 17 hours / day. At the end of the day I usually have 25 - 40% left in the tank. Today I decided to try it with ambient mode on. I'm 10 hours in and I'm already at 38%. So it makes a big difference to me. That's still not bad since I'm averaging 6% / hour so I could potentially make it last my normal 17 hours. But it's a bit too close.
Also, I know I can drop it on the charger for 10 minutes and I'll pick up another 10 - 15% or 2 hours of ambient or 3 - 4 of non-ambient time.

I've tried that super dim mode. It seems to be pretty good indoors, but I can't see ANYTHING outside. I wish the auto-brightness was able to use it though so I don't have to manually switch it.
With ambient off, how accurate the watch screen will wake up when you bring your wrist up see the screen?
Stop using your watch like a phone
Can you tell us what watchface from 3rd party you use that doesn't have second end
Thx.

Autobrightness does use the super dim mode for me. If I'm indoors and there's not a lot of lighting changing the brightness to 1 will usually make my screen brighter.
Even if you use a face with a second hand in facer, just delete the second hand layer and all is good
I've looked everywhere and can't figure out how to keep my screen awake while charging. Samsung really butchered the settings app. Can anyone tell me where it is?
On the 10.1 it's in Developer Options: "Stay awake. Screen will never sleep while charging."

No they didn't. This is where it is on any normal Android ROM.
Yes it is in developer options which are not available until you enable them. Go to--> settings--> about device and tap on build number about 7 times. That Wil enable developer options and stay awake is in that tab.

So I found this one app " Swipify" that lets me keep the watch face on full time. I like it but it drains the battery a bit faster then I would like. Also when charging the watch the round charge progress bar does not advance so I have no idea how charged it is until I take it off the dock. So I un-installed it. I am looking for an app that will let me keep the watch in the dimmed "Ambient mode" full time and then when I lift the watch to look at it, have it to the full watch face mode until I set my arm back down.
Anyone make such a add-on app by chance? :fingers-crossed:
Or should I start learning how to code apps?
Any chance they (moto) will update with such features?
Thanks,
-DK
I'm not sure if such an app exists, but I'm just about 100% sure that Motorola will never add this feature. The current 5.1.1 software version was significantly delayed because they were trying to optimize battery life. I think it's a combination of a small battery and an old, power hungry processor that is the main problem.
I find that since upgrading to 5.1.1 I can go the entire day on one charge in ambient mode but I have to leave the watch sitting flat in order to test it. But by the end of the day I still have 25-25% charge left with it running the entire day in Ambient mode as long as I do not get to many notifications during the day which of course I can control those with no problem.

Huh? What's the point of having a watch if the only way you can get it to work is to lie it on the desk and not touch it, oh and to disable notifications, aka the only thing that makes the "watch" something more than juts a watch?

That is why I am looking for an App similar to Swipify to keep the ambient mode on full time. And I only let it lie flat for a day to test the battery life and it makes it through the day with the screen on full time in ambient mode. So I know the watch is capable of doing what I would want it to use it for.
And I said "as long as I don't get too many notifications", I never said I disabled notifications. I still have those on.

Gocha. No need to be defensive, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Still seems like you'd always be on the hairy edge of running out of battery in a real-world scenario. Hell, I'm ambient mode off but tilt-to-wake on, and some long days I barely make it to the end of the day. Never had luck with even the fake ambient mode the Moto provides.

All good, sorry to come off as defensive. :good::highfive:
Been using it with tilt-to-wake turned off and I am finding that by the end of the day I still have plenty of juice left.
With Ambient on and tilt-to wake off I find I have about 35-40% left at the end of a 7am - 11pm day. That is with receiving some email and text notifications (maybe 15-20) during the day.
I know everyone has different uses and ideas of how to use their Moto 360 so everyone's setting are going to be different, but what I am after is a always on "dimmed" or "ambient" mode with the option to turn on tilt to wake so I could test the battery life both ways. I would also like to use my 360 for home automation control and I I know with "Autowear" it is possible but from the little testing I have done so far it would kill my battery way to fast so perhaps on a future SW that will be something I will be doing.
Pausing and starting Netflix or HBOgo or Plex from my 360 is working pretty good for me as a start.
Think I will try and contact the owner of the Swipify app and see what he can do for me...... :laugh:
With the latest update LCA44B, when ambient is on and tilt is off, the screen will stay on all the time. However with ambient on and tilt on, it is same as previous behavior, screen will turn off when you put your arm by your side.

That is very good news! Can not wait to try it out!
In Marshmallow we had the enable LED option under Settings -> Screen, on Nougat this option is not there anymore, Light Flow with Normal/Direct/ROOT mode doesn't work too..
Does anyone knows an easy way tô enable the LED?
Since Marshmallow I've been enabling Miracast with a simple line on build.prop, hopefully there is another for enabling the LED.
Thanks.

The only bug on N that I am experiencing is that some apps seem to no longer trigger the notification light. Chrome does, for example, but Touchdown does not.

I noticed this on one of my apps when I set the phone down for a few hours like overnight, no light and no sound. I woke up this AM and seen no notification light and then as soon as i pressed the power button to wake up the screen the notification sound played. defiantly a bug, not sure if its with one specific app or across the board. I have yet to get a late night call, as far as I know.

Do you charge overnight? If not, probably just doze.

It should not matter if it was charging or not, I'm trying to understand where you are going with this?
The app functions perfectly until the phone is left alone for several hours then it will never notify, no light, no sound, nothing until I hit the power button., then the sound played no light obviously.
I am tempted to start a thread on this shortly, but I need to see if other apps behave the same way.

I know there is that option, however I did not have to preform this in 6.0.1 for any app, so that's why I am wondering whats up and if that will make a difference or not. I do know that apps with GCS can automatically bypass this from what I read, but that has to be written into the app. I will continue to experiment with seeing what apps do it or do not do it without messing around with turning off optimization for any app like with 6.0.1 . Either this version of doze is overly aggressive or its a bug

Well, in any case its too early to tell what it is, at least for my level of understanding the android OS as well as some others on here.
I guess I will just sit tight n wait and see what others are saying about notifications
Thanks

From my understanding/experience, Doze is significantly more aggressive now than it was in 6. Which is great for battery life, but annoying when you're watching TV and expecting an email or some such.
The charging comment in my other post was due to the understanding that doze is disabled while charging; if you charge over night everything should come in normally, but if you just leave the phone down then it will not.

I thought that might be what you might be getting at .
If doze is more aggressive, i think it is overly aggressive to the point where sometime within an hour of setting your phone down it will only alert for calls/text messages, nothing else, then if the text come in early enough in the light the notification light will completely stop by the time you wake up. I am just not too happy about how overly aggressive this is as like you stated expecting someone to contact you in some way you are SOL. I don't think one should have to go through every single app to set it manually, that is pointless IMO
I have re flashed my system partition since the factory images came out a few hours ago so maybe(not) that could help but I am not optimistic.
Thanks for clearing that up

Doze does not completely kill the services. It just adds more and more delay to its syncing, so even if doze is working aggressively, the notifications should be delayed (like by some seconds or minutes), not completely disabled. The case you are stating doesn't seems normal. I don't know if the apps need to be updated.

So, at least in my case, I solved this issue with the notification light. I went into Settings --> System UI Tuner --> Other --> Power Notification Controls --> and turned them on. Then, Settings --> Notifications --> Touchdown (the app that was giving me problems) --> and changed the notification level from Auto to Level 4 (one down from the top).
Since then, the notification light works as expected.
