[Q] Display timeout-charging, not charging, won't auto turn off???

I have looked through this forum, in the QandA and have not seen anyone post this problem. Is anyone experiencing the issue where your screen wont auto turn off? I have changed display timeout to 30 seconds, 1minute, 2 minutes, 5 minutes and so on... display wont turn off on its own. Also, when charging, if a notification comes up, screen awakes, but wont shut off again. Just curious if other users are having a similar issue or if I am the only one. I know this was a problem for S3 owners, but there was no real problem identifying what was causing it. Any help would be appreciated.
Set up as follows:
Stock JB Build
Rooted
Stock Kernel
(Only Titanium app data {not system} restored)
Almost all syncing data set to 1 hour refresh or greater
Smart Stay is turned off
Pattern Lock enabled
I think that covers most bases and options, but if I am missing something, I would love to know.

Thank you for your input. However, I had checked that option, it was not on to begin with, I turned it on, and then off again, it did not reenable itself, but it still is not the culprit. I am baffled right now.

[Q] Screen timeout not working?

I have stock (rooted then unrooted) JC with APEX launcher. It sounds crazy but my phone screen doesn't turn off by itself.
There are several times I woke up in the morning to find out my phone screen was on overnight (screen must have turned on when I plugged in the charger). Right now, I turned on my phone just to see if the screen would turn off at 1) lock screen 2) apex home screen. neither works.
I tried all these with different timeout settings (15 sec, 30 sec, 1min, etc.).
Anyone having the same problem? Anyone with solution?

Yes rebooting always solves the issue but can i get a permanent fix? It's kinda annoying. I'm on GT-N7100 JB4.1.2 and i've never rooted.

Kinda glad i wasnt the only one having this issue. Happened to me yesterday. Kinda freaked me out as i dont want anything wrong with this phone.. reboot worked for me yesterday.
On a side note.. every once in awhile my youtube app goes to **** and it refuses to play videos.. it says network error yet i can do everything else... reboot fixes that too.

Yeah no kidding. I really don't want anything to go wrong with my phone. But unfortunately it has been kinda buggy from day one. A minor issue with the stock keyboard was solved after the 4.1.2 update. But the weird error with the Quick Commands thingy ain't getting sorted out, even after the update. Of course, reboots also never help.

Oh someone please tell me what's wrong with my phone The screen timeout thingy ain't working An unattended message or missed call means my display stays on till I turn it off manually A reboot would solve the issue but then it would come back again. Any permanent fix? Please help I've never rooted my phone.

Uninstall any apps that keep your screen on or go through the apps list and kill everything individually. imediashare keeps my screen on after I'm done using it cause it still wants to stay running.

Went through the 124 apps that had WAKE_LOCK permission. (Used Permission Explorer). If I count out the recently installed apps before which the problem had originally started, I guess there aren't any suspicious apps. Oops Aren't there any apps that forces the display to go off? ^_^

I'm just throwing it out there by maybe go into recovery and fix permissions? Clear the cache? Factory reset if all else fails I guess.

Hi. Having the same problem... However, i believe it has to do with the feature that prevents screen from turning off if you are looking at it. Try to turn it off and on. Perhaps it will help.
If you continue to have problems, just disable that feature... it is a good adon, but having the screen turn off tose battery is more important.
Hope it helps.
Let us know if it worked out

[Q] mmuzzy 4.2.1 and screen dimming

I installed mmuzzy 4.2.1 ROM on my phone and have been quite happy with it. The only problem I have is that the screen dims after about 30 seconds and I can't find a brightness setting that will allow me to disable this feature. Does anyone have a way to turn this off?

settings -> display -> sleep (not sure if that is what you want as you've probably seen it). I don't think there is a setting to stop it from dimming before turning off. Increasing the time to off keeps it from dimming as soon.

Sorry, not good enough

I want the dimming off completely.
I turned the developer options on and told to leave the screen on when charging. But it still dims. Once it dims, it's impossible to see the screen while in the car. 4.1 never dimmed. I may go back to the 4.1, since this seriously impacts my ability to use the phone in my car.

You might be able to set up a tasker profile to keep the screen on in the car. I've done that in the past for use in the car. I would guess that this feature is at the kernel level, so you could try a different kernel.

I'm just rolling back to 4.1. 4.2.1 didn't buy me anything feature-wise.

It seems someone has files a bug for this
http://code.google.com/p/android/is...im&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
If people could please star this issue, I would really appreicate it. I have a Nexus 10 now, and don't have an option to roll back to 4.1 and this is really annoying.

[Q] How do I get the screen to stay on 24/7?

Hello I am switching from a G Watch which had an option Screen Always On which would keep the screen at lowest brightest always.
This Moto 360 is starting to bug me. I just updated to the lollipop update 5.0.1. I turn ambient screen on which says "Warning battery life will suck blah blah". Ok I am find with that don't care but even after turning it on the damn screen turns off all the time. No matter what I do the screen will not stay on.
Please help do I need to return this?

I get that with watchmaker custom dials. Official/bought dials seem OK. I think its a bug in watchmaker.

It's a feature of the moto 360... If you don't like it, return it and get the gwatchR

Ambient Mode?

I see a few posts here (and other places) mentioning an Ambient Mode.
I cannot find anything in the User Guide about it and I do not see any settings for it.
I am on: Android 6.0.1 - android Wear 1.4.0.2621048
(On a Zenwatch MSQWI500Q Build # MEC23S)
There is an Always on Screen, but it does not do anything.
I just noticed in the Asus Zenwatch Manager - the Face Settings - Dim Screen after - Never; does work.

It has always worked okay on mine. It does turn off after a while if you set it down or put it in to charge, but it stays on while wearing it.

When I try to update on my Zenwatch (Settings - about - system updates - it says it is up to date
My Note 4 has AndroidWear 1.5.0.2951640.gms on it
I will try searching to see any way to force this
Maybe unpair - then reset my zenwatch?
It is only a week old (for me - I bought it "refurb")

Hmm. Resetting is worth a try, since there's not really a downside. I also found this, which might help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen...-zenwatch-manager-facer-t3334255#post65815338

Thanks - I will give that idea a try
I have no setting anywhere for a reset <-- Ahh I just found it!
It is called Unpair with phone in settings
It says "unpair & factory reset" when I tap on Unpair

I did manage to get it to update after a good bit of tinkering (unpairing - old versions of Android Wear <-- That did not work for me)
Anyway I now have:
Android Wear 1.5.0.2884951
Build Number MWD48B
I still have no Setting about ambient mode - but at least I am updated Thank You!
It seems to be just a bit smoother now too.

I have searched all over and cannot find ANYTHING that tells how to get ambient mode "on".
I tried a few of the Watch Faces in Asus's Zenwatch app also to see if any had some settings
I wonder if it is something that Google Dropped in 6.0.1 ?

I think maybe the term "ambient mode" is specific to the Moto 360, but I think it's sometimes also used by people to refer to the dim mode of the "Screen always on" option. Will your screen still not stay on all the time with that option on?

If I just set Screen Always on - on my Zenwatch - it goes off in a few seconds (actually to the time set in the Zenwatch Manager App on my Phone)
If I set "Dim screen after" on my phone in Zenwatch Manager App to never, it seems like it will just stay on all the time (My guess is battery would not last long that way)!
I am at almost 20 minutes now and still in full color.
I just layed the Zenwatch on dy desk so I did not wake it up by moving around.
I set it to 30 secound and in apx 30 seconds it goes black/off

With screen always on, the normal behavior is that it's full-color for 8 seconds (I think), then it goes to dim mode, which is just pure black and white on most faces. Using WatchMaker, I have mine set to 10 seconds. The battery on my ZenWatch still lasts about 2 days with screen always on, though I still charge it every night anyway. Try uninstalling ZenWatch Manager. It's not really necessary. I don't have it installed.

Well I uninstalled Zenwatch Manager - installed Watchmaker - picked the first face Steel Blue - Just Digits
Set "Keep Watch Awake" to 10 seconds
And it still goes off in the 10 seconds.
I even rebooted my Phone and my Zenwatch same
What about some setting in Android Wear?
Only one I see is Always On Screen slide switch it is set to on - but setting it to off does not change the way it works

Yeah, the only thing I have is "Always-on screen," too. I have it, and "Tilt to wake screen" both set to on. I'm at a loss at this point. It seems likely it's a software problem of some kind, but I don't know where to look next.

Well thank you for trying to Help!
I appreciate it!
I just noticed something interesting:
If I set Always On Screen on my Zenwatch: When it goes to sleep (so to say): It first goes dim then it goes black and white. - But then it goes off.
If I have Always On Screen off: It just Goes DIm then off
So my take on mine is it is a glitch of a defect.
I will probably live with it as I bought it as Refurbished

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem ! But it came after updating my zenwatch to 6.0.1 (M1D63K) .
Have you found a solution?

I'm on the same boat. Always On Display is activated, tried doing it on the watch, on the Wear App and the ZenWatch manager. No luck. I've received OTA updates regularly, but none have worked.
I'm posting in the hopes of finding a solution. I've had this watch way beyond the warranty period, so there's no way I'll be able to return it to Asus.

Was a solution ever found? i am now experiencing this problem after owning the watch for 2 years. It has never happen before.
