with the new blue tooth in my car my phone works perfect but every time it locks it disconnects from the car. I have it set to never timeout but it doesn't seem to work at least for the lock screen, the phone will still lock automatically. I need the phone to never go into the lock screen unless I purposely want it to.. anything out there?

Settings --> Application Settings --> Development --> Stay Awake (while charging/plugged in). Check this off.
Note: the behavior of your phone is broken. The bluetooth should NOT disconnect when the screen times out. Something on yours is broken, I don't know what. A wipe might fix this in case it is a setting. Otherwise you should look at the system image you are using and try something else that isn't broken.
When my screen goes to sleep, my Wifi or my data connection stops (whichever one I'm using).
If I'm listening to the radio using Radio Time, the sound stops after the screen sleeps. An interesting thing to note is that if you go to the lock screen, it starts playing again. It seems like the screen just needs to be on. The problem seems to be limited to just certain applications because Pandora still plays after the screen turns off.
Another app, Android Web Desktop, which allows you to text and manage your files from the computer, doesn't work correctly either. Nothing loads while my screen is off but it starts loading once I turn my screen on.
I'm running on a Sprint HTC Hero with DamageControls v2.07.2 ROM for Android 2.1. I also have a Flan lockscreen. I don't know whether the problem is ROM related or what.
Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can fix this?
Please Help!
Make sure always on mobile data in settings is checked.

I just check the settings and I already had always on checked. Should I just wipe and see if the problem goes away? Am I the only one with this problem?
check the wifi sleep policy as well.
Settings>Wireless & Networks>Wifi Settings> [press menu] > Advanced >Wifi Sleep Policy
Setting it to never will make the wifi radio never disconnect, at the expense of battery, of course.
I have it too, although I sort of assumed it was by design. Makes for a pretty frustrating experience trying to use Gmote or Boxee Remote.

I'm still having the problem kinda. It seemed to not turn it off as fast. It stopped working after about 30 seconds in Android Desktop and RadioTime kept playing but was very skippy. Are you having this problem? I don't understand why certain app work and certain don't.

For problems with Gmote and Boxee Remote, this fixed my issue.

That was a useful suggestion. To go a bit further on this point. You can turn on/off your wifi (and more) by using applications like timeriffic when you really don't need it. Eg, when you're sleeping. Timeriffic changes some of your profiles based on time so it would be a great option to add to this setting change.

I use Juice Defender to do the same thing and I let it manage my mobile data connection. Helps stretch out the times between charges a little bit despite me using my phone very heavily.
Solution , for me
http://www.pocketables.com/2013/10/...ing-trouble-using-certain-apps-over-wifi.html
Turn off WiFi optimization .
I'm trying to set it up on my NC so that the WiFi turns off when the screen turns off. I'm following directions I've found on the net, but I can't seem to find the right condition.
I set up a WiFi off profile, and set it to turn wifi off, and under conditions, I have the following options,
Add Condition
Time Period
Calendar Keywords
Location
Incoming Call
Missed Call
Unread Text/SMS
Battery
Wired Headset Attached
Connected BT device
Connected to WiFi
Docking State
Profile status
I'm trying to get it to quit rebooting after the screen shuts off. It's becoming quite an annoyance, but not being able to find this setting is driving me more crazy.
Any one have this running and working?
there should be a screen status condition. you have to click inverse logic after selecting it. unsure why you're not seeing it :-\ but it also looks like you're missing some other conditions too. i have many more than that on the free version. screen status is at the bottom for me.

Yeah, Screen Status is the last condition on the list for me too, on the Lite version.
Silly me, I have been working in landscape and had to scroll down. Thanks guys
- Sometimes the watch does not show any notifications anymore. Restarting the Watch "fixes" this behaviour
- Theather Mode is great. However it does not even vibrate anymore. At least there should be an option to keep the watch vibrating.
- After directly archiving a Gmail Notifcation it vibrates again. Why? Didnt do it on kitkat and i see no reason for it despite using more battery juicy.

1 confirmed, noticed the same. Only reboot of watch helps. Occurred 2 times.
2 agree.
3 don't get many Gmail notifications, so cannot say anything about it.
My watch vibrates without reason when it is on the charger. Tried resetting my clock, put in silent mode, theater mode and even flight mode and it still vibrates. It doesn't vibrate Al the time, once every 5-10 minutes and some times more. It works fine out of the charger, no issues at all.
Didn't have this problem before update to 5.0.1

This is by design and indicates when the watch connects/disconnects to/from the phone. When it connects to the phone, it vibrates once; when it disconnects, it vibrates twice.
If you reboot your phone, the watch will vibrate twice when the phone's Bluetooth turns off and once when it turns back on. Or when you leave the watch on the cradle and walk away from it with your phone far enough to lose the Bluetooth connection, it will vibrate twice to let you know it disconnected from the phone. When you get back within range, it will vibrate once to let you know it reconnected to the phone.

Not always. See the link I posted above. My watch would vibrate at random while charging and the phone was on the cradle charging (and turned on) it would appear that the watch was possibly not getting a high enough current at times due to the phone charging.

I have also this issue (on R and G watch). It is when contact is not well between watch and dock. Seem OK but I must press watch to ensure right contact without vibrate signal for charge ON/OFF. Look at your charge icon on watch when vibrate to see if it is good
Thanks all for your info. I have my phone off during night maybe this is a new feature that reminds you about lost connection to the phone ? Tried all other suggestions with no luck

Had the same last night, noticed that my watch was waking up (just like me ) several times. Secured it better in the dock and all well again.
Removed wear mini launcher to see if that solves the "not receiving notifications anymore" problem (which was easily cured by a reboot of the watch). After removing wear mini launcher I also had to restart the watch because notifications did not work anymore, so it could be related.

Item 1 - I faced the same problem intermittently. The notifications come back again after I manually displayed the previous message (the one without notification) on the watch.

Let me try to explain my case:
- when this issue first happened, my watch did not display the notification when the notification is received on my phone
- I then swiped the screen of my watch to check if the notification was transferred to my watch or not although it was not displayed
- After swiping, the missing notification displayed on my watch immediately which indicated that the message was transferred to my watch although it was not displayed
- After the above actions (swiping and read the notification), my watch was back to normal for a while (the notifications could be displayed on the watch automatically).
I repeat the above actions every time when I noticed the notifications could not be displayed automatically.

I have same issue few times since the last update
It is strange to ear the notification sound and see nthing on watch, I look at phone and I see the notifcation icon on notification bar and all like you.
This Wear update sucks horribly. I've had this watch, GWR,for two weeks. I like it. Wear is complete garbage. Notifications randomly stop pushing to watch, reboot to temporarily fix. Randomly get 'offline' message despite showing 'connected' in Wear app, reboot fixes temporarily. Upon giving voice command, watch occasionally displays 'offline' message despite a strong data connection, usually no more notifications with this as well, reboot to fix. Battery life is 14 hours at best. So at the end of the day, I have a 300$ AMOLED watch. I bought this device so I could keep my phone in my pocket...this happens about one fifth of the time. The rest is me rebooting, uninstalling, reinstalling toggling Bluetooth and now randomly checking my phone to see what I'm missing because the toy on my wrist is totally unreliable. Nice work Google.

What kind of phone is your watched paired with? I get about 2.5 to 3 days on a charge. Everything is rock solid for the most part. The only thing I'm pissed about is I keep getting my step count card even though I tried fit notifications off.

I'm paired to an LG G2 rooted on xdabbebs 2.2.0. I can stretch my battery further but I chose to leave screen always on, skymaster face with ambient on level 3-4. 2-3 days is believable if your screen is off, backlight low, using theater mode here and there.... everyone's mileage will vary for sure but mine was definitely low.
I think I may have figured out what is causing the random disconnects and could be to blame for higher battery consumption. I'm gonna wait until tonight and see if my connection remains solid before I get too excited.
So far so good though after 12 hours.

I think it has a lot to do with a setting in Bluetooth on my LG G2 that is labeled 'connectivity authorization' or something like that. I have to go in and re-tick 'automatically' every time I cycle Bluetooth on/off or reboot phone, as it defaults to 'always ask' and that is when I get the fast battery drain and connectivity issues. The other issue is that I fly for a living, generally two legs a day, so I am constantly switching into airplane mode on phone and watch and it seems that a huge drain occurs upon landing and coming out of airplane mode. After a bit the drain tapers off.
I'm looking more for a fix for the constant disconnections
My battery is fine I've had 2 days out of it and it's normally more than 50% by the end of the day
If you haven't tried already, reset the watch and make sure you pair it with the Wear app, not thru Bluetooth settings. Do you have the option in your phone Bluetooth menu under the connected watch to change the connectivity from 'always ask' to 'automatic ' ? I'm 90% sure this is causing my problems.
I just got my Gear VR and this thing is amazing, but I've noticed something different once I started playing with the Gear VR.
When the display times-out and goes to sleep, it doesn't lock the phone. When I press the home button/power button it goes straight to the homepage and bypasses the lock screen. It doesnt matter what kind of lock I use (pattern, finger, pin, etc).
If I use the power button to turn off the phone, the lock screen appears. Does anyone else experience this?
I noticed the same thing. I'm using s view cover and the phone sometime locks sometime doesn't.
That's good to know. Glad Im not the only one experiencing this.

Mine has just done the same today. I left my phone in the gear vr while not using it when came back to it about 15 mins later the lock screen has disappeared. I use to have the fingerprint unlock which has gone and goes straight to home screen when I power on, does anyone know how to get it back please?
Go to Display under setting and see what timer you have. I did 15 secs to test. Next go to Lockscreen under settings > under 'Lock Automatically" make sure 'immediately' is checked.
