Lockscreen image retained even after app has closed - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everyday in the morning I listen to mike and mike. Everyday when I'm done with my morning commute I turn off tune in radio but this image gets stuck on my lockscreen. Any way to fix this other than reboot?

For me, It happens also with google play music, I just force close the app and it goes away.

Anyone who is not into sports might mistake my odd choice of wallpapers. I just tell people those are my dads.

I don't like to force close apps too much but at least with your idea I can change change the lockscreen to something else instead of MIKE and MIKE staring me down all the time =). Thanks!

You can open another app that uses the lock screen, then just exit out and close it. Should go back to the normal screen.

I have the same issue with tunein. Press stop on the station you are listening to and the lockscreen wallpaper will go away. If you press pause or exit on the app it will retain the image. The problem is with the app not the phone.

Search for some similar app then.
There are some Youtube apps on Playstore that works in background, but they are not same as Youtube app.
BUMP
Htc phones have fastboot.
When you switch off your device, the phone does not actually shut down. It hibernates. It goes to a low power mode. The kernel is still active.
This is why htc boots quite fast, in less than 6secs.
And That is why alarm works even after it is switched off. In samsung, this is not possible as the phone is completely turned off.
As for youtube, i saw an app pvstar which played videos in background. Other than that i have no idea.

Thread closed, OP I edited out your insults. If you want help, insulting users is the wrong thing to do, remember, its your problem, not ours.
Additionally its against the forum rules to start chucking insults around and if it continues your ability to post will magically stop working

Couple of gripes

1: Sleep Mode
First thing I noticed was that sleep mode might work well, but there needs to be a setting to lock the screen while sleeping! I woke up and called 2 people, rearranged my home page, and deleted a few icons! Not sure how I was able to do this in my sleep, but more need to lock the screen! I solved this issue by turning off gesture wakeup.
2: Indoor workouts
How do they not have the ability to track indoor workouts such as spinning or general fitness? I was hoping by getting the Neo that devs could write their own fitness apps that fix Samsung's issues. Turns out Samsung isn't opening the SDK to developers for this! My solution has been to only track heart rate using the running app, but my calories don't get tracked.
3: Took it out for a 20 mile bike ride, the screen would constantly show me going 89mi/h... I mean I might have been going 19mph but 89?!? It wasn't just once, it was the entire time. The summary page showed accurate results but not live...

how were you able to get the speed to show on the watch ?
You can turn the screen off by going into the Display settings. Annoying? Yes, but that's the only way. Maybe Samsung will release updates and/or devs will come up with a better one.
Where is the sleep mode option?

Also went on a bike ride and my speed fluctuated up to 60 mph... I did track the distance in addition to having runkeeper on at the same time on the phone and the distance readings are correct. Just have to get this speed thing figured out. When I completed the work out, it did show my max speed as 23 mph, so that part of the tracking seemed to work out fine.

You have to be updated to the latest rom.
The latest software version should be ND8. If it is not, then you can manually update the rom by loading Kies3 from Samsung and connect the Neo. (there is a thread somewhere in this Neo Forum that explains!)
Kies will detect the software update and push it through to the watch. My update stalled the first time, and I had to repeat. But after that I had the sleep app in my apps drawer.
Good Luck:good:

im not using a samsung phone, i suppose thats why i cant see it
just download kies3, put the watch to pc via USB, install the driver and you'll get notification that the firmware is avaiable.
I totaly agree for sleep mode and turning off the display.
And we need ALARM witch is stand alone in the watch it self. I mean it's a smart watch and no alarm... WTF

Are you referring to running the sleep app?? If so, there's an option called blocking mode that turns off gestures as well as notifications while the sleep app is tracking your sleep. I use it every night and have had no problems with it at all.

Really? It didn't say
It turns off gestures. I'll have to try that then. Although I would still want phone calls. It just needs more customization I guess.

1. For sleep mode there is an option in the sleep menu to enable blocking mode. Sleep function works independant so you can disconnect the BT connection.
2. I think this is an opportunity for exercise machien OEMs, think TechnoGYM, use NFC to sync such data, as opposed to their keys.
3. I suspect the fitness measurements (aside from HR) are not accurate.
Sleep mode works but they really should allow you to see the time when in sleep mode , you need to exit sleep mode to see if its time to get up

I haven't tried sleep mode yet but I thought I had read that you can hit the home button and it will continue running in the background.

Correct. I use it most evenings.
They should add an option of a nag screen to remind you to turn off/on certain activity modes. IE- Still walking? if not, turn off pedometer. If it notices you're moving and pedometer is not on, ask you if you want to turn it on. Same goes for sleep sensor apps.

This made me laugh so hard! Thank you for cheering me up.
Also I have one gripe, I'm a flashoholic for phone roms. I have a Note 2. I find it very annoying that I have to wipe the Neo everytime I connect it to the phone with a new rom. Why can't it just keep the data on it? Messages etc not a problem, but sleep data, pedometer data and even clock and wallpaper all have to reset too.

Why do you need alarm???
You have to set alarm in your phone, gear 2 will indicate for you.
BTW I have a fav. free watch app, you can set alarm in this app on your gear 2.

Google Music stops playing on M DP3?

Anyone else have this issue? Google Music will randomly stop playing. it could be 1 song into my playlist, or it could be on its 3rd pass through it. The only way to get it going again is to start the song over or move to another one. The app doesn't crash, it just seems to stop the song, and ill not respond to the Play button on it until I press the Last, Next or select another track.
it never ever stops here. im on m preview 3.

I'm on preview 3 and it happened to me yesterday.
So is the song progress bar still moving or is it done? I have only seen an issue where the progress is still moving but, no audio is heard on certain albums which was an issue before N. Nothing where it randomly stops though.

At first I thought it was N too until I looked at the dates and the title lol I've had this issue on ALL three previews, I end up going back to M since I travel a lot for work and it's annoying. All my music is on Google play music.
Mine would stop as soon as the next track would play on dp1,dp2 but on dp3 all is well

Happens randomly to me on preview 3 as well. Starts playing again when I hit the volume up key or pause the song and press play. Of course it pauses again a few seconds later...
Only happens when I'm using the auxiliary cord in my car. When I use regular earbuds it plays fine.

Annoying 4 note notification sound

The sound is 4 progressively higher notes on a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument. Usually plays on unlock, but also randomly throughout the day and night. My default notification sound is silence, so this might be tied to an app or the OS (MM 6.1). I just don't know what it is - other than loud and inconvenient. Any Ideas? This is driving me crazy and waking my wife at night. Thanks.
its an app, 100000%. now your job is to find out which one.
Hi and thanks for the confirmation Simms22. :good: I know. Kinda obvious.
I have gone through settings and turned off most radios thinking it could be tied to an app through BT, GPS, NFC, etc.; a successful connection or location fix. I have also gone through the various apps and checked their notification sound settings too. No dice. Whats worse is that I have gone through all my ringtones and notification sounds and can't find it.
It seems to be tied to the Google Now cards notifications, but if it is, I can't find it. I don't really want to turn those off but I guess that's next. Grrrr.

id still be guessing, but google doesnt have a xylophone-like wooden or bamboo instrument sound on the nexus 6, so i know its not a default sound.
Thanks for the info. Hope I described the sound well enough. I'm mostly deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other. Misspent youth and all that.
I know the notifications and ringtones I've added. That leaves apps that have brought their own sounds with their install. So it's back to the haystack.
I think I'll let it percolate in the sub-conscience for a while. Besides, I'm way behind on a personal Tasker project. Thanks again. I'll update later with what I find out.

you can enable safe mode. that way you can check if its an app. long press the power button until you get the power off option. then long press on the power off until the safe mode option pops up. if that notification doesn't go off, then its an app. as on safe mode, all apps are disabled.
Flash another ROM. This happened to me on PureNex and when I switched to Chroma it went away.
Sometimes it actually happens once in a while. I'll hear the annoying "do dieu do doo" sound
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I also have this problem. Has anybody found out the cause?
It started a few months ago and I ignored it, but now it is really annoying.
I put my phone into safe mode and it still happens. I assume this means it must be a preloaded app?
I installed a notification history app and nothing is listed when it happens!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Emui 5.0 Podcast Apps stop working on lockscreen

Hello guys I have a problem wich drives me crazy.
Every time my phone goes into the lockscreen and I put it in my pocket, the podcast app stops playing. I tried many of them, because at first I thought it would just be the one app. But no, almost every podcast app I used had the same problem.
Music apps have no problem staying awake. I have tried everything in my mind to fix this (in battery options...) but it still is a big problem. The onloy thing I can do about this thing is to turn the screen on after it went black and the close the screen again. Now the app plays podcast without a problem. But the next time i write a message and forget to wake the phone again, the app closes.
Any thoughts?
