Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I searched and couldn't find something exactly like this...
Randomly one of 3 screen issues seems to be occuring on a daily basis:
1) Auto-Rotate stops working. Cannot get screen to rotate without reset (Yes, I've made sure auto-rotate is on in settings)
2) Screen will not Auto-Off. Even if I change settings to 15 secs, screen will not turn itself off. I have to manually turn it off. And, if I receive a text or any kind of notification it will light up again and stay on indefinitely.
3) Screen will not turn back on when trying to wake up device. Hitting the home button and power button both have no effect. Although the LED is usually blinking, and it seems the phone is still on.
For all 3 of the above issues, manually pulling out the battery and reseting the phone that way seems to always work. But, this is an annoying process to have to go through on a daily basis.
Also, I've noticed that these 3 symptoms don't occur simultaneously. For example, yesterday it wouldn't auto-off, but rotation would still work.
Not running any custom ROMs either
I have the E980 and am really happy with it, but lately it's been acting weird where it will just randomly wake up and go to the lock screen for no apparent reason, no new texts or anything. Even if I physically press the lock button to lock it back up, it keeps happening. Has anyone else had this issue and know how to fix it? I'm also *relatively* new to android, is there some setting I don't know about? Thanks!
Hey I actually figured it out! In case anyone else has this issue, get WakeLock Detector from the Play store. It figured it out for me instantly, it turned out to be some Tron Light Bike game
I seem to be having an issue with the screen turning on at random. I have Always-on screen set to ON and tilt-to-wake set to OFF, but the screen will turn on sometimes seemingly at random and multiple times in a row. I have done Factory Reset a couple of times and it does not help.
Is there anyone else with this occurance and is there a fix for it?

I have this issue too. I've tried several configurations and it keeps doing it.

Any apps that send a lot of notifications or any notifications that are automatically dismissed/very briefly show up? Can't think of anything else that would wake your watch.
No, not on mine.

I have the exact same issue. At first I thought it was tilt-to-wake having poor gesture recognition so I turned it off. However I noticed without touching the screen it would turn on and then turn off after the stand-by time. To verify that was the case I left it sitting on my desk all day and observed that it would in fact randomly turn on and off. I also noticed that when the issue occurs the battery life decreases rapidly.
Also this issue will continue to occur even in theater mode.
Have you find a solution yet? My smartwatch 3 does the screen turn on randomly and then also touch screen issue occurs, and it makes random touches, swipes going into settings and so on, without touching the screen. I'am on the latest wear version mwd49b.
For more info search on youtube for my video about this problem: Sony SmartWatch 3 screen problem.
I recently began having the same problem. The screen does not turn off after it randomly turns on - I have to manually press the button to turn it off. Needless to say, this tend to run down the battery. I did a factory reset this morning, but the problem persists.
EDITING POST JULY 20:
After factory reset, I actually had the watch doubly connected to the phone, so I have corrected that now. However the problem with the random turn-ons began occurring well before the factory reset. I'm not sure what triggers it, or what stops it, but when it begins to happen, it drains the battery very quickly. The problem only began recently (within the past few weeks), so I'm not sure what changed to bring this on.
A bug in Android Alarm Clock keep the watch active after alarm ring. Just corrected yesterday by an update on Google Alarm/Clock app.
On the phone > android wear app > settings icon on top right > device settings (smartwatch 3) >tilt to wake set to off
The screen turns on for a few seconds and turns off. There are no notifications and I do not have any type of alerts set. Ideas?
Have you installed any third part apps lately?
Honestly, the best thing would be to do a factory reset, so that you can figure out if it is hardware related or software.
Hey people!
Since the Pie update's 10.0.9.0 version I have this issue but I couldn't point my finger at what might be the issue. The problem is that the device will randomly turn the screen on and therefore it will never go to sleep, causing quick battery discharge.
I'm currently using MIUI 11 Port, but I had this issue with stock Pie as well, this is why I'm sharing this, to get an insight on what might be the issue.
What I've tried so far:
- Disabling/enabling DT2W
- Disabling/enabling turn on screen when notifications arrive
- Disabling/enabling wake screen when picked up
With all these setting that I've tried the screen still randomly turns on, even when it is sitting on the table, without any connection/notifications whatsoever. Thanks for your help in advance!
