Random problem - Screen not turning off

Hi,
Since upgrading to Tizen a couple of weeks ago, I've had a couple of occassions where the screen has stayed on and not dimmed or turned off.
I only notice it because I get the low battery warning and think it shouldn't be dead so quickly. I then watch it for a bit and notice that it doens't dim or turn off. Changing the screen timeout from 10s to something else and then back doesn't make any difference.
A reboot lets the screen timeout work as normal again.
I probably looked at the watch a few times whilst it was stuck on and just thought that it had been triggered by the movement sensor.
Anyone else have this problem?
Didn't have this problem under Android (had the watch since November last year)

5.0.1 sleep whilst charging

Hello. Can someone helo me. Had my watch a week and i love it but yestersay it got uodated to 5.0.1 and ever since then when i dock the watch in the cradle the screen wont switch off.
I cant remember how long you have to wait normally on old software but i left it 10 mins and still say there in dim mode.
Any ine else had this problem? Had ro put it in cinema mode to get to sleep lol
Any help will be greatly appreciated

just leave it there. It will turn off automatically (except if you turned on the always-on feature under development options).
I don't care when it goes to sleep ...it just does. I'm finding the watch sleeping in the morning.

for me, its actually the other way: the display will immediately turn off when charging when I enable the screen always on setting in the developer options

Wow ... that's weird ... I must try that on 5.01 .

Screen won't stay off, keeps waking up

This has has happened to me 3 times so far while I am plugged in charging overnight. I'll wake up to see that my screen is on. If I hit the power button it will shut off, and then come back on in a second or two. Even if I flip it upside down so the screen is down, I can still see that the screen is still coming on. The only way for me to fix it is to reboot the phone. Anyone else experiencing this?

what your probably referring too is active display. Which if you want off. I also have off is under the moto app

No, that's not it. I'm not talking about how it will come on every 3 seconds when you have a notification. I'm talking about turning fully back on so I can see my home screen.

Is the stay awake setting checked under developer options? Only thing I can think of right now.

Nope, that isn't checked. And normally this isn't an issue, only a sporadic thing.

Happened to me again last night, woke up and noticed the screen staying on around 5am. I tried disabling the active display but it didn't stop the screen from coming back on after I shut it off. I did find that when I unplugged it from my charger, the screen stopped coming back on. Does this give anyone any clues?

Its something you have installed.

I believe Safe Mode is still in Android. Try it. Warning: it will break your home screen widget layout.

If it is something that I installed, how can safe mode help me determine what it is?

The same reason it does in Windows. You use it to narrow down what is causing it. If Safe Mode cures the issue, you know for sure its an installed app. From there, process of elimination.
Right?

Just got the phone and have had this happen a few times also. No apps installed that I didn't have on my previous phone.

After a bit more testing I have more information. It seems like it only happens when it is plugged in and has reached a full charge. Once I unplug the phone from its charger, the screen stops coming on by itself. This is still some kind of bug, there's no reason I shouldn't be able to keep the screen off even if it is fully charged and plugged in.

Mine stays off. We cannot really call it a bug if it doesn't happen to everyone else.

Well I didn't think it was something that effected everyone, otherwise I would have found a thread on it. I'm going to try using a different charger tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Fair enough. I still think its an app installed though.
By any chance do you have the notification enabled for when the battery is fully charged?

No, I don't.

Ive tried this for two nights and it doesnt seem like I've had this issue since using a different charger...

My problem turned out to be the button accidentally being pressed and the screen lock setting being set to "5 seconds" after hitting the button, as opposed to right away. So the screen was going off, it wasn't locking, and an errand touch of the side of the phone while moving it would make the screen come back on without seeing the lock screen again because it was within the 5 seconds that the setting enabled. I was not familiar with this setting being on my previous phone and the Turbo was set to this by default. Hope this helps.

I agree that it is a bug, however, I was wondering, is there a way to get rid of that screen entirely? Frankly all that screen does for me is waste the battery, so being able to not have it at all would be great.

[Q] Screen doesn't stay on anymore

When I bought the watch back in November, the screen would stay ON all the time. I know it to be a fact because I used to leave it on a desk without ever touching it (for hours) and it would always display the time (it was like having a desk clock, for when I would rather not wear it to have more comfortable wrists while writing or that sort of things).
Also in the train (I used to travel a lot in that period) I would leave the watch hung on the wall while sleeping (at night) and it would not turn itself off, so I could check the time in case I woke up in the middle of the night, without neededing to reach for the watch.
Recently (it was January) I noticed that it does not work like that anymore. After a very short time, the watch screen goes off. It is still in standby: it goes back on if I touch it or press the button.....but I want it to stay on 'without limits' (in dimmed mode). It was like that before.
Somehow this is the behaviour of the 'keep screen always ON' setting.....but in fact, that setting is already set to 'ON'.
So is there some kind of firmware update that changed this behaviour? I would like the clock to not go off when it is not on my wrist, sometimes I just need to keep track of time AND have my wrists free....and it is not possible anymore.

nothing?
It is actually a key feature....no point in having a watch that doesn't show the time unless you touch it (if you leave it on a desk or simply hung on a wall at night). Also I wonder why it changed (did not do this last year so I thought it must be some update but could not find anything in the changelogs about this).

You have the Setting enabled in Android Wear for keeping the screen Always On?
My screen only goes out when on the charger. When I had a Samsung Gear Live, it would stay on while on the charger, via the Developer Setting on the watch to keep the screen on while charging. But that has never worked for me on the "R", not even last year.

The screen of the watch goes off while charging (although I remember it being different back in October...).
The settting for 'screen always on' is activated. I activated from the watch, from the phone, restarted the watch, nothing worked. The screen goes off after a while IF I DO NOT wear the watch.
No problem if I wear it....that means there is some connection between the screen going off and the accelerometer :-/
But as I said, I need the watch to stay on even if I am not wearing it (working at a desk or similar when I can't wear the watch, I would look at the time at the watch lying on the table). I am sure 1000% it did not turn off before (started in January, or at least I noticed it in January). I read all the changelogs for all the updates and I did not find anything about this.
Can someone also try? My brother has the same watch and his also goes off if he does not wear it. I find this really unneeded. At least they should have put a setting available.

You best option is Wear Charging Widget. It will keep the screen on when charging. Although it does dim a bit, like a night clock in a mostly dark room. It is the only option I've found that works.
I wanted the "R" to work like my old Gear Live and keep the screen on when charging and even when not wearing it. But I've never found a means for that to happen short of Wear Charging Widget.

Yes it looks it is like that now. Maybe you bought the watch after the two last updates (501 / 502) ?
Would be nice if somebody else, besides me, could confirm that in fact the watch was staying on (dimmed mode) all the time even without wearing it in the previous months (release date to December).

I've had my "R" since last year, before v5 came out for the watches. And the "R" never kept the screen on while charging. I never noticed it involved simply not wearing it. Since when I'm not wearing, I'm charging.

Screen shuts off completely
The screen on my GWR has started shutting off, completely dark not dim. I checked the settings and it is set to "Always on screen": ON.
This is a fairly new problem, it did not used to behave this way, I could see the screen dim, and move my wrist and it would go bright and display "OK Google".
Any ideas on how to fix this bug? Or do I/we need to wait for a software update/fix? Current software version: 5.0.2
Watch is not very useful if I can't see the time without having to push the crown/button.
Anyone else having this issue?

Screen is working again.
Had some time to try some options, did a "Reset Device" and the screen came back.
Lost all the apps I had loaded on the watch, not a big deal, wasn't using many of them.
Guess I can just download them again from the play store, if I want them back. Something I loaded onto the watch may have caused the loss of the screen.
Last couple of apps I downloaded were CompassX and a charging app that shows charging progress while charging.
Glad to have the watch face back.

I'm having the same problem as you. The ambient mode won't come on. Instead of dimming to ambient mode it now just goes dark completely (like when it is charging). I would love another fix before I have to reset the watch. Any ideas?

Bumping this. I reset the watch. Went about two weeks and now back to the same problem. Ambient mode has disappeared. It's just black all the time until i turn it back on.

I confirm that I have this trouble also in normal use, previously it worked fine and would stay on all the time if that's what I wanted.
Am very tempted to reset the watch after backing up.

I have nearly the same problem. For months now, when my screen dims, it goes to a very dark/dim red. I've removed all programs from my phone and did a factory reset on the watch three times. I'm not sure what else to try. Is there a way to flash the memory? It seems like a setting is stuck in the non-volatile memory.

I was having the same problem and found that I had theater mode set on. Switched to off and now works great.

Check your theater mode setting.
Turning mine off worked.

I'm experiencing the same. On my watch it seems to be somehow related to accelometer. Almost everytime, when using LG G Watch R in golfing, it starts to shut down the screen. It doesn't wakeup even when tapping the screen.
I haven't found other solution than resetting the device

Same issue with 5.1.1
I had this issue with 5.0.2 and hoped that the next update would solve it but sadly it persists in 5.1.1 .
Theatre mode is off, Always on is on but still the screen blanks, showing the ambient mode screen briefly before blanking.
I've reset multiple times, occasionally Always On comes back but only for a short while.
Always on is a feature I really like

Fixed it on mine
I had to turn wrist gestures on. With it off screen on doesn't work.

I have the exact problem on my GWAR, software version 5.1.1. I bought my in December and it never happened until now. It started happening yesterday all of a sudden. I tried factory reseting it through bootloader, throught settings, uninstalling the Wear app, uninstalling the watchface i was using, and still nothing.
Here is what I did to fix it (and i know its overkill): Uninstall Wear app, clear google play services data and reset the device through settings. Now it's finaly working.

Two new issues with my TP

Hi everyone.
I recently rebuilt a TP for my son running CM11 from jcsullins. Everything worked fine for a few weeks except two new issues have arised.
1] While charging in the touch stone the screen would now suddenly turn on. I would have to manually turn it off, but sometimes it would turn back on while docked.
2] The next morning after being charged over night the tablet will not wake up. It's a black screen, and I have to force a restart but holding the power and home button.
What tool can I used to identify the cause of my tablet constantly turnng on while in the touch stone? I'm not sure if it behaves the same with a regular charger because I have only used the touch stone.
Is there a tool that can tell me what app is causing my tabket to lock up over night?
These problems were never there before and they suddenly appeared over night when it functioned fine for weeks after I did the reinstall.
Thanks in advance for anyone that is able to help!

It may be the obvious but first check: Settings -> Display & Lights -> Wake on plug (off). Then: Is this a clean install or has "stuff" been added?
I also have been having an issue with my cm 12.1 tablet not waking up and/or draining completly. Not sure if this is related to the cm11 nov 2015 version and cm 12.1 Jan. 2016 versions or something else.
This seems like a "stay tuned" issue.

Thanks for the wake on plug. That seems to have fixed the first issue, I think. Although I did see it light up earlier when I docked the tablet but it seems to not light up for the most part since I changed that setting.
For the second issue, is there an app kind of like Event Viewer in Windows? Maybe that will help me isolate what's causing the tablet to lock up while charging over night?

I use Wake lock Detector, Startup Manager and Greenify. Not exactly what you are looking for but may give an idea.
