I've had my P20 pro for a couple of weeks now and for the most part I'm enjoying it. I particularly love the great battery life. But one thing that's driving me crazy is that don't like a screen that shuts itself off quickly so I always keep my phones set to the highest timeout time and turn it off manually when I want to (I use a flip cover app). My old phone allowed me to set it to 30 minutes and this one allows 10 minutes which is still fine.
But it won't stay. I set it to the 10 minute maximum and it's good for a little while, maybe a few hours, and somehow it reverts itself back to one minute again which i notice when my screen goes off quickly and I have to go back in and change it. I NEVER had to change this on my old phone (Moto X Play which I used for three years) unless I just finished a major Android version update. But on this one I'm doing it multiple times/day and it's driving me crazy enough that I'm actually considering getting rid of it.
Is there any possible way to force it to leave my settings alone??
I appreciate any suggestions.

My clock has been keeping quite accurate time on Android 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 (not sure about 2.1, since it's only recently that I am saddled with a network provider that does not do NITZ). Since Gingerbread OTA, though, it seems that it's losing about 30 seconds or so per day.
Has anyone else seen this? There are previous reports of this issue for Galaxy S and MDA but not for Nexus One, and all the other threads predate Gingerbread.
Thanks!
yes, I can confirm this. The clock lags 30 seconds or more per day. I put it in the dock when I go to sleep to charge overnight.
I also confirm this.
I can also confirm this is happening on my nexus one running stock 2.3.3
My clock has been almost useless since Gingerbread and the switch to daylight savings. Before daylight savings, it worked perfectly when set to get the time from the network. Last summer on daylight savings it also worked fine, and Froyo handled the switch to standard time with no problem.
Now, if I leave it set to get the time from the network, it will eventually go way off. The time zone changes at some point to Western Argentina Time, when it should be Atlantic Daylight Time. The time will go behind by an hour, and then drift away more and more. The lock screen and clock app will show one time while the status bar shows another, and one or the other of these will not update as the minutes go by. These issues make alarms unreliable and worthless.
Rebooting the phone puts it all back the way it should be. Time zone goes back to Atlantic Daylight Time and the clock is set correctly. Then at some point later in the day, it'll go stupid again. If I turn off setting the time from the network, these problems don't happen, but then the clock will drift and be behind by 10+ minutes after a couple weeks.
So far, my solution has been to leave network time off, and occasionally turn it on just long enough for the clock to sync, then shut it off again. This is extremely frustrating.
Yeah, I have this on the latest stock N1. But, mine is slightly different. The time set from the network is 2mins behind GPS time. If I set the time manually, then hit the network time button it will drop 2 mins back. Doesn't do this on a Blackberry I have on the same network.
I thought I'd come back to this thread to report that my clock issues so far appear to be resolved after updating to 2.3.4 (manually via amon_ra + su zip to keep root).
I changed it back to set the time from the network yesterday, and have yet to experience any of the weird behaviour or lagging I mentioned in my previous post. Normally I would've seen something by now. I didn't see this mentioned in any of the bug fixes for 2.3.4, but so far so good...
I hope the update helps you guys out too.
Okay. So if there's one thing I miss from Sense ROMs, it's Auto-Sleep. That was SO convenient. I have this new habit of just sitting my phone down since I use it a lot for looking at notes. I like how Auto-Sleep puts the phone to sleep in 15 seconds if it's laid down, but keeps the phone on while it's vertical. I think it changes the timeout to 1 minute. Nonetheless, it's a pretty nifty feature.
I was wondering if there's an app that can emulate this. Or maybe some Xposed MOD or something. LoL!! I was just using my phone for looking at notes and set my phone down. I forgot I had the timeout for 5 minutes and forgot to change it back to 1 minute. So my phone screen was just on while I had it laying there. LoL!!
I don't mind keeping my phone on for 1 minute, but 15 seconds would be better. LoL!!
EDIT: LoL!! I said "non-sense" as in "That stuff is nonsense!!" =.P
I tried to search already and didn't find any threads that answered what's wrong with my note.
So I finally updated my note 3 and went and purchased the 4. Got it home, immediately noticed quite a few things.
1. Incredible lag in almost everything. (I turned off all the bloatware, s-voice, flipbook, etc..., also changed animations/new launcher)
- If I try to go to phone, it takes about 5 seconds to pull up and show the dialer.
- going back to homescreen takes about the same, sometime turns the screen off.
- scrolling is almost broken, it stops and stutters a lot. I've gotten some FC's from it.
- apps take awhile to launch, some I can understand, but the calculator shouldn't take that long.
- everything is just really slow. (I'm used to my note 3 and nexus 5 tbh)
2. It takes me almost 3 button presses to get the home screen to come on, when it does come on, takes about 3 seconds to appear.
3. proximity seems to be broken, it goes black while I'm looking at it, if I go to type, turns off and sends me to the lockscreen a lot.
4. Won't mount any of my sd cards ( I have various classes/speeds and sizes, none work, one is brand new out of the package)
5. After a restart, I have to wait at least 20 seconds to have everything load from the lock screen to the launcher.
6. Overheats a lot, while browsing it gets pretty heated up, I don't really play games on mine, it's worse when I run sketchbook on it.
So, a few things, I'm holding off on rooting, just in case I have to return it. I've disabled everything, I don't have many apps installed, I don't over-charge it, it's in a lightweight case, never been dropped, I've barely had it. It's not rooted, flashed anything, it's pure stock with nova launcher and it barely works without something happening.
So what do you suggest? A dud, go and return it? I can't seem to find a source to the issue, resetting to factory didn't fix anything, in fact it mae the lockscreen issue worse.
Mine does none of that. Take it back
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
If a factory reset didn't work, return it. No way is any of that normal.
Dosent even take AN SD CARD? Whaaaat yea man I'll take that back. Not normal at all
ROLL THAT SHT, LIGHT THAT SHT. SMOKKKKE THAT SHT
I would have taken the phone back before even making this thread... It's pretty obvious the phones not functioning correctly
Why does my Moto X forget the time and date when I turn off mobile data to try and claw back a little battery life? Is it that reliant on data that it can't even do the simplest tasks like remember the date?! It thought it was February 9th and 8:54 up until a few minutes ago...
You can set it to follow a time and date you set, or that sent from the carrier. I guess you're on the latter, and the lack of carrier updates prevent it from continuing. Try the former and let us all know.
This phone is getting dumber.
Moto Voice no longer works.
When the alarm goes off I have to wave my hand over it so much that I may as well get up rather than have that extra snooze and when it does eventually go into snooze mode and my arm is worn out from waving the screen stays on for 5 of the 10 minutes.
Time for something new and less annoying. Any suggestions? I like the look of the LG V10, but it doesn't appear to be available in the UK through official channels, only iffy looking resellers...

Try doing a factory reset and start fresh. That usually fixes random annoyances that you explained.
That'll be a lot of hassle only to find out it still doesn't work, as I suspect will be the case. You only have to look at the Play Store reviews for Moto voice to see that various updates have made it unusable for a lot of owners. Mine just doesn't listen to what I'm saying and just says "Let's talk later" all the time. Can't really see it doing much for the phone not snoozing and leaving the screen on after the alarm goes off either. I know the sensors are fine, as the time is displayed if I wave my hand over it at any other time...
I just think Motorola have made various poor updates to this phone and I think I'll just put it out to pasture and get myself a new toy.
Searched and searched so posting here and will try in general thread in case it's not tied to the watch itself.
Background: IOS user for phone, have to - developer, had Apple Watch (hated it). Got myself a Huawei Watch 2 on a deal and loved everything about it except the useless bezel and tiny screen size. Seeing as I had a great experience, I started a hunt for an LGWS. Hunt because not a single store sold one and I'm in Chicago with LOTS of stores. So online we go. There too - few resellers. Finally found one. New. Manufacture date of May 2017.
The Watch 2 worked flawlessly as functions go. Sycn'd, stayed connected, battery life of full use (all functions on - obviously no LTE), brightness at 8, raise to view on, always on display on... end of the day going to bed around 10:30 still had 50% of battery left at worst! The only issue other than cosmetic that it had was WIFI would not connect so "automatically" so to speak. So when I sent a watchmaker face, I always had to go to settings, connectivity, wifi and wait until the SSID showed connected. Then all is fine. Transferred over and enjoyed.
So the LGWS shows up. I unpair the Watch 2, connect up the LGWS and love it. The display I expected, size is great for me and off to the races. Within an hour it went from 95% to 60%. I figured - setup blues. Ignore it. Let it fully bake and see what happens. Another hour later I'm at 30%... ok onto the charger we go. Did a full charge at 6pm, by 9pm it was flat.
LGWS background: GW 2.8 loaded, Watch 2 was still running 2.0. LGWS - cellular off, raise to view on, display brightness 4, wifi connected...
But here's what I noticed: on my phone, it consistently says disconnected - tap card to connect. I tried that about 20 times, no joy. Rebooted watch and phone... no joy. Reset watch, deleted app on phone and deleted Bluetooth pairing. Re-installed Wear app, re-paired watch, left all at stock settings except shut-off cellular and OK Google listening.
That last bit is the 6-9pm going totally flat.
So. Any ideas here? Things I see - 8 vs 2 OS... obviously IOS (I get it, but why did the Huawei work so well?) and there is nothing I can do about that. Don't know if I can downgrade to 2 to see if that makes a difference... if I do, will it self-update back to 8 when it gets a chance?
I really want to keep this watch - it's exactly what I wanted (short of strap change capability). I sure hope Google doesn't give up on Wear. As a Mac/IOS dev, I can easily say this is a superior platform for the user. Truly great stuff and I want it to improve and keep improving. The iWatch bigots are really missing out!
Thanks in advance for your tips.
Cheers!
Have you tried doing a reset?
When I got mine, it upgraded straight away so I thought "great", it's a clean watch, there can't be anything wrong with it.
Nope..
Apps didn't work.
Battery life was rubbish.
Did a reset when i got a new phone.
Apps worked without issue.
Battery takes me from 5am through to 9pm with 40% left at least, LTE is off but aod is on.
Yes - reset the watch to factory when I deleted the app, pairing etc - went totally to step 0 across the board, short of formatting over the phone itself. But I did one more reset after that last night and charged it all night. So far this morning (wrote most of my note locally last night, posted this morning) I'm holding up pretty well. Nothing running on the watch - bone stock with phone shut off and Ok Google off. 2.5 hours @ 91%. Fingers crossed that this was a fluke. But in my experience today is probably the fluke LOL.

Sorry to bump an old thread how is your usage the last few months? I'm confused between buying this and the huawei watch 2.
Thank you @wig

No worries. The LGWS has been pretty decent. It seems to me that its bluetooth radio gets confused. For example, when I'm in my car, sometimes the watch disconnects or the car bluetooth disconnects. When I'm in my home office where the WIFI router is, the watch seems to disconnect as well. Beyond these weird edge cases, it stays connected and just works. The disconnecting isn't really bothering me as much as the fact that when it does, it tries to connect over WIFI and drains the battery pretty quickly. I've kind of learned to live with it and the hardware in this watch is better than the HW2. That being said, my experience with connectivity was much better with the HW2. Not sure how it's going now for those who have it. Android Wear has updated both the IOS app and the core OS and apps numerous times since I posted this. So for all I know, HW2 is doing the same thing these days. It does appear Google is trying.
As for the LGWS - go to ebay, find yourself a new one that's super cheap. I ended up getting mine for around $170 which made it a no brainer. One of these days I'll throw a SIM in it just to try it, but have bigger fish to fry at the moment.
Best of luck.
P.S. I just saw you have an android phone - so your mileage may vary and in fact will probably be MUCH better. I'm on iPhone which is 90% of the issue.

Thank you so much for your reply I think you have sold me the watch. Now I can continue my search to try and find one. Seems at $170 that's definitely a bargain let me know if your wanting to sell ?
