Can someone with 2.2 froyo update perform this check for me..."stay awake" gone?
So I installed the new froyo update last night and I see one thing missing I liked which was on the 2.1. It had a feature called "stay awake" under the application settings I believe. Well I go to charge my phone for the first time since installing 2.2 and the screen stays on and never sleeps unless I press the lock button. This is only with the usb/charger plugged in.
Can someone verify theres is the same way please? I am thinking they either designed it this way or there is was a problem with my install? Not a big issue, just something I wanted to get clarification on. Thanks!
They did remove Stay Awake from every froyo I've looked at.
It's very easy to add it back. You have to decompile the Settings.apk and remove one line from the .smali files.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium.
I had the same exact problem when I did my upgrade. I was worried about burning the screen and went looking for some fixes for it. You can edit the Settings APK like the above reply mentions Here.
You can also download some widgets to toggle it.
However in playing with the phone I did a couple of reboots, once witht he USB plugged in, (not sure that makes a difference) and noticed that the phone timed out like normal while it was plugged in so I left it alone after that.
Thanks for the replies guys. New twist to the story today. I left my "samsung" OEM charger(one that came with my Cappy) at work Friday so I went to AT&T to buy one. They didn't have an OEM samsung charger but only the AT&T branded micro usb ones so I picked one of those up.
Went home to plug it in, and the screen sleeps/turns off like normal. So now I'm thinking it has something to do with the charger being used? Interesting...
Also still reading up on all the stickies here on XDA on how to modify this phone from rooting/etc so can't quite get into that yet! =/
OK, Similar problem, hopefully someone can help. My phone used to stay on when plugged in (even with 2.2). Convenient since I frequently use it for GPS (Google maps and Google navigator). I tried to use it for GPS the other day, and it kept turning off. Looked for the setting to stay on when plugged in, and noticed it was gone.
Apparently some software I was using changed a setting somewhere. Any EASY way to switch the feature on and off? Can someone recommend a widget or utility to do it?
Hi, I've read in several places that some weeks ago verizon sent OTA the 4.1.2 update, but I have not got it. Here's the deal, I changed to Galazy S3, but keept my Bionic around. Now I'm planning on giving it to my wife, but as of today, I don't seem to be getting the 4.1.2 update (I'm checking sowftware update using wifi, since my sim card is no longer activated).
Any ideas on how to force the 4.1.2 update, without having to root nor do any other type of development stuff in my phone?
Thanks,
Have you tried going into settings and opening phone info or about phone and then check for updates? I know that before the ICS update there was an update before that and I never got the prompt to DL the update. I even tried check for updates and nothing. Then I did sync with wifi and restarted the phone and then it worked. Hopefully you know what I am talking about, like email and social networking sync over wifi only option. Make you have 40% battery or more, for good measure just charge to 100% If that doesn't work, try to take out everything, power down, take out battery, SD card, SIM, then hold down power for 5 seconds, put just the battery back in, power up. You should get some sorta error code. Power down, everything back in, make sure the SIM is correctly put in, power back up, enable wifi, then check for updates under about phone/phone info.
If this doesn't work, and since you are giving the phone to someone else, do an FDR. Backup everything you want to keep, from the phone. Export it to something external, like PC. There's other ways to backup apps and such, but it's possible that the next user can't use them once they personalize the phone and register it. If you don't care about anything on the phone, FDR is the best thing you can do for it and this issue.

Not saying that the update will work, it is OTA from Verizon, so they might not be pushing it to an unregistered phone. If that's the case, you can manually install the update. You can find that here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2235946
If you manually update, don't forget to thank the OP of that thread, cuz it's nice and classy.
Hi I am not sure what happened but I found someone locally selling a Galaxy Gear for $200.00. I thought that was a pretty good deal so I met up with the person today and got the watch. He showed me it working on his Note 3. He breezed through the screens with his finger. I called him...he took the call on the watch...I mean everything looked fine. Now I must mention I already bought a Galaxy Gear and love it. Been side loading apps and really having fun with it. I thought for this price I could play around with rooting and try some things that I did not want to on my existing gear because I am happy with the way it is working. Figured if I sold it on Ebay eventually I would still make possibly $50.00 when it was all said and done. So the first thing I did was charge up the new Gear ..it was at 87% already but thought it could not hurt. I was trying to figure out how to link TWO gears to my Note 3 and you pretty much just add a new gear and unpair or disconnect the other. So far so good...so I get the option to restore my data....I'm like sweet! Goes through the entire process including with even watch styler. I push a recently configured watch face to the gear. And that's as far as I got. I tried to swipe left and right with no luck. no up or down either. Ok, I figure maybe the buggy watch styler hung up the gear. Hold the power button down on the side and I get the reboot or shutdown...go to hit shutdown and the screen does not sense I am touching it. I tried it over and over and still nothing. Finally my only option was to hold the side power button in....says rebooting...actually comes up shows the time but I still cannot swipe in any direction. I even went as far as to go into the system menu by pushing the side button over and over after the reboot and I did a reset in there but still no touch response. Now If I had not actually seen it working I would have thought the dude pulled a fast one on me and who knows maybe he still did but it WAS working. Out of desperation I called Samsung and gave them my serial number and they told me it is eligible for warranty return...but watch them find it was previously wet or dropped somehow. I do not know if it has been but that would just suck. So much for my good deal. Do any of you extremely smart folks know what I can try or do you think it and I are hosed? I did try USB to see if that made a difference and if I go into the download mode I could launch ODIN and it shows it is detected. I am trying not to totally reset my other gear by uninstalling anything on the phone but I trust you guys so what do think I should do?
I have had this galaxy gear for about a week now, and since new the camera has been extremely glitchy. Sometimes it will work no problem, but very rarely. Most of the time when I swipe down to use the camera the screen goes black and stays that way for almost a minute sometimes, before a message comes up saying "warning camera failed" . I have done a hard reset twice now, and made sure I had the latest software update, yet still haven't had any luck. I can still return it to the store for an exchange but best buy where I purchased it from is currently sold out and I am waiting. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and it might be fixable? I have read through a lot of forums but haven't found any information on this.
I have recently been trying to root, and install a custom rom hoping that would solve the problem. I follow the directions exactly from the forums in this site, it roots no problem, and I get the custom rom transferred to the galaxy gear sdcard using wondershare. But every time I get in recovery mode, and select recovery, it reboots and resets my gear. I don't get any options to install in twrp.
Can anybody help?

I facing the same issue also..Which "camera has stopped" problem. i had also send back to service center once and return back with a functional one. But today i once again had this problem and i try to remove out from my hand and twist abit on the belt and the camera able to function. i believe this is hardware problem and this was due to the belt problem. I think i going to send back to service center once again.

Ya that's what I am thinking it must be, I will return mine too as soon as they get some more in stock. But I still haven't been able to figure out why I can root mine, but I cant install the custom recovery so I can install a new rom..
Mine just started doing this, anyone have a resolution other then returning it.
Never mind, i found the issue. The band has separated from the face and cut the cable to the camera.
how long did it take samsung to send you a new one.
After returning my watch to bestbuy I exchanged it for a new one. The new one the band is different and the hole in that was behind eh camera is now gone. I really think samsung is reading these forums

can you post pictures?
I had the same problem.. did a fresh watch reset/recovery, and its fixed the problem.. not sure if it will for everybody, but in my case it did. My Model# is SM-V700
Step 1: Make sure Gear is powered off
Step 2: Press and hold the power key until you see either the Galaxy Gear rebooting… screen or a blank white screen.
Step 3: Release the power key and then continuously tap the power key until you see the Reboot Select Mode screen.
Step 4: Tap the power key to highlight the "recovery" option.
Step 5: Long press the power key (5-8 sec) to select it.
Solution to camera stopped problem
I hope this helps others. I had not used the watch in many months. I couldn't get it to turn on after a whole day of charging. Read a tip off an Amazon review and it worked -- if your watch is "dead" plug the charging cable into your computer USB port and not the AC outlet. It charged just fine then and works.
Now to the camera problem. I reset the watch and reinstalled. Got the "black screen" and after so many seconds, a message 'camera stopped'. Reset again. Still the same problem.
But I got into the GEAR MANAGER , selected MY APPS and noticed that there was a "+" sign on the top right of the screen. Touched that and it brought up an additional list of apps. At the top it said I has "11/14" apps turned on. I found I could click on the CAMERA and it went to 12/14. Picked 2 more things. Now the Camera is one of the 14 apps on the device. Guess there's a limit
THE CAMERA WORKED PERFECTLY AFTER THAT.
Quick back story, bought ZW3 and turns out it never made any sounds. Purchased a second one while the first went back to Asus for repair. When I got it back, I confirmed that it was working fine and then I shut it down, out it back in it's original box and put in closet.
After spending the normal time getting the watch and the phone to work as I wanted, I believe everything was working as it should. Then AW 2.0 finally came, and a little more learning, no problem. But then the phone goes to Android 8.0.0 and and I'm back to frustrations, such as no longer when you select your watch in the BT list of paired devices, does it say "connecting" or does the BT icon ever show it's connected, battery life now sucks, blah blah blah.
About 4 weeks ago, ZW3 #2 half the time the sound is low in volume and distorted like a severely blown speaker. So I shut shut it down and pull out ZW #1 and it doesn't want to connect to AW. Eventually I end up defaulting it but holy shizzle sticks! It takes forever to load ll apps and finally update to AW 2.0.... like more than half a day!
Now I bring you to yesterday and ZW #1 stops making sounds altogether AGAIN and on top of all that, I can't get either watch to be seen or therefore connected to AW on the phone. I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the phone and 90% of the time it opens and sits on a white screen with the logo. Other times it goes to the "Set Up" screen and the first time I set the permissions and such, and after that it goes to the "Select your device" screen but never sees either one.
Now, if I "forget" the devices on the BT setting screen, it pops up with the request to pair and the code, but that makes no difference in AW functioning.
So, What little hidden step am I missing? I should be able to switch back and forth between to identically set up devices, or at least connect to one. So frustrated, plus now I have to figure out how to get Asus to realize that they didn't fix sh!t.
send all three in and tell them to give one good one.
You know you have to have both watches paired to phone, You cant just take second zw3 out and try to use it like it was the first one, do you? Yes? Ok.
Now if there is still problem:
1.Factory reset watch (unpair from phone from within the watch settings)
2.reset wireless connections on phone (will loose all wifi networks and BT paired devices)-but this helped me get rid of wear app misbehaving (like you wrote-forever sitting on splash screen,etc.),
3.clear data and cache of Wear app and then uninstall it
4.Restart phone.
5.Pair the watch.
