When my phone is standby, it's randomly activating backlight with black screen......why?
I have this problem too. When the device is sleeping, the backlight randomly switches on and stays on for longer than 5 minutes (even though I set the device to disable the backlight automatically every 30 seconds and enter sleep mode every 1 minute). This surely reduces the battery life.
After a hard reset it's fixed already.
Probably the registry or adv config/HDtweak is screwed up.

is there a way that make the kaiser's screen off completely without going to sleepmode?
because when i press the power button wifi disconnects, otherwise the screen drains a lot of battery needlesly with the dimmed light...
Download Kaisertweak and enable wifi during sleep mode.
Or use Quickmenu that has a shortcut to "turn screen off".
But you'll notice that what drains the battery the most is Wifi, not the screen. Expect 4-5 hours of battery life with Wifi on, even on standby.
The wifi going off when Nook is sleeping is about the only thing about "Rooty" that bothers me. Is there a way to extend the screen timeout delay beyond 1 hour? And to help with the resultant battery life is there a way to to dim the screen more than the minimum on Color Tools?
(An hour later) I am running WakeTimer keeping the CPU and Screen locked on, and to possibly reduce battery usage and possible image persistence I have black picture up. Hit 'n' Rooty has been awake the whole time, WiFi still connected. Checking to see what the does to battery life.
9.5% per hour. Wi Fi stays on.
plz help, backlight goes dim as mentioned in power settings but there it has option of turn off backlight=xxx min and turn of phone=xxx min. but what is really happening is turn off baclight option works as backlight dim timeout and turn off phone works for phone timeout to be in standby. when phone goes in standby all operations come to a halt. And if phone does not go in standby backlight is always on in dim position. Helpppppppppppppp
Hello all,
Since the latest firmware update, my G Watch R no longer turns it's screen off when i leave it on my bedside table overnight (not charging) where as it does turn off if it's on the charging cradle.
I've always had the screen set to always on and it generally lasts 2 days easily before the update but now that the screen stays on ambient mode, the battery would drop from 60-70% to around 35-40% after several hours while I'm asleep. I've done a factory reset last week and it didn't help.
On a slightly related note, the battery seems to drain much faster when it reaches below 20% and most of the time it just dies at around 5-10% left even with battery saver on.
Anyone else encountered this?
go into the wear app on your phone and disable always on screen. u also need to do this from the watch settings as well.
But that would turn off ambient mode which I want on and had done so since I bought the watch in November.
I have the same issue as well. Would love to have it back.
How do you turn off WiFi ?
I do not know why it is on ? It is paired by bluetooth to my phone and Wifi is useless.
Lately last week I can not get through a day with my watch. Display is in ambient mode but is on 1 !!!!
Trying to find and way I can keep using the watch ..... it loses 10% an hour. My average day is 6am to 10pm it is dead at 4pm.
Used to be I turned if off and back on if would drain 3% an hour and easily make it through a day but now more often than not it is down 10% an hour.
If I turn of WiFi it may help.
Settings WiFi
WiFi automatic
Select this and it sets up an access point !!!!!! I want it off and I want it to stay off.
But how do I change it from saying WiFi automatic to disabled ?
When I tap the wifi-automatic icon, it asks me if I'm sure I want to turn it off. I'm not sure what you're doing differently. Maybe if you set up an access point, then the automatic icon will switch to turning off?
If it is connected to BT, your wifi isn't being used. By default, if it's on wifi because the BT isn't being used, it will shut off after 2 hours to save battery.
For me, I got about twice the battery life when I turned off ambient mode (why do I want it showing the time when I'm not looking at it?) and set screen timeout to 10-15 seconds. I think I use it a lot, or should I say, play with it a lot. After a day of heavy use, I can usually go from 6am to about 9pm (only once did it shut down due to heavy day and excessive text notifications).
Lately I have been trying to track my sleep on it every night and just to be safe, will throw on a charger for 15-30 minutes in the afternoon or evening to ensure enough charge. Last night with a quick charge I was able to have about 60% when I woke this morning.
Not sure what notifications come through normally, but I'm running Feel the Wear along side Android Wear for a variety of notifications.
