I have my G tablet running with the TnTLite 2.0 (with the overlay) and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
While using Pandora, moments after the screen sleeps, the wi-fi connection seems to drop. In the advanced Wi-fi settings, I have the sleep setting set to never. I have the screen timeout set at 10 minutes.
Is it possible to have the screen off and keep applications running in the background (e.g., music playing)??

This is a known issue and so far I havent seen any of the ROMS that seem to stop it. There is also a hugh 'lag' after it's been asleep for a while, almost as if it takes a minute or so t 'wake up and get going'.
It almost seems to me that it is better to turn the thing off of your not gonna use it for a bit.
HOWEVER, the battery life on this thing in unbelievable so it would hurt to leave it on for a few hours if your listening to Pandora. Ive easily gotten 8 - 10 hours of use with movies and angry birds.
Food for thought.
When I use Set CPU my phone will freeze up randomly, the screen goes completely black and I lose a large chunk of battery when I get it turned back on. This is really annoying, do I have a setting wrong?
Hi everyone can you please tell me what your experience is in terms of battery life after the last update, cause for me it seems to have improved a lot, I woke up with the watch updated in the charger (left it to charge over night and the phone was connected to the wifi so it downloaded the app update on it's self and the watch was connected so it updated on it's own) and this is the 4th day of using it and now at 22:57 I finally got the 15% battery warning with high usage (3 of the days I used the watch to controll the music while I was at school so the screen was on 6h/per day in that app) and before this update I got the 15% message in the middle of the 3rd day with low usage (to read some notifications and answer some calls only)?
Also could you tell me what would you like to see this watch do in future updates (just to see what others think)? I would personally like to see:
-music control widget
-shake to wake
-double tap screen to wake (I don't belive this is possible/will be done)
-ability to see the clock when I am in any app (at least something like pressing the menu button and then pressing a button to show the clock for a couple of seconds)
-ability to open the notification drawer in any app (I would like to see this done like I said I would like to be able to show the clock)
-ability to set screen timeout (and perhaps with the "never" option)
-ability to set standby screen brightness (would really like to make it just a bit brighter so I can read the hour without having to turn on the screen when there is not a lot of light)
-ability to set screen timeout/brightness on a per-app basis (most surely won't see this, but I would love to make the messages app timeout longer and make the screen brighter when in it)
Also do you think we will get something like the Open SmartWatch project for the Smartwatch 2, and if yes when, cause I think we will, but it will be after Sony launches the Smartwatch 3 (or a bit before that at least, seeing how it was for the Smartwatch 1)?
I've only had the watch 12 hours or so but something I'd like is a watch face with seconds. I need it really for my job. I'd like to see the music app tweaked a bit too so you can choose between players at least.

In the music player smart extension click menu, also the seconds thing seems like it could be useful sometimes, and also they should update the curent watch face with date to make the writing bigger in my opinion, and perhaps a option for a secondary clock with the option to set a secondary location (I have that on my phone using the xDualStatusClock Xposed module so I know what hour is for a friend in the USA so I know not to distub him at night)
I just want the
battery percentage!! (of the watch of course)
my wishes (and i think the watch shouldve had this from the start):
-selectable screen timeout (5-30 seconds, in 5 second intervals)
-user defined/designed watch faces
setting the standby screen brightness is impossible i think, because the backlight is off, so there is no brightness to set

Yah, but I would like the option to turn it on and keep it on all times.
battery pertenctage %
I would love to see a weather clock. Every other smartwatch out there has this except the Sony ones.
Also a larger sized digital clock with black on white maybe with date would be nice too. A better music app could be nice too. Especially with the ability to del with the playlists.

AFAIK playlists are generally a proprietary feature of the music apps.
For Sony to deal with all possible music apps out there would be fairly impossible.
But there could be extensions that are specifically dedicated to some music players and that include playlist management.

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my phone. I use the original flip cover case. When the phone is upside down (screen facing down) and a call comes. I pick up the phone and open the flip cover, I can see who is calling but the touch screen do not respond. I can not control the call, I have to press the power button twice so the screen closes and opens, then I gain control on the screen.
This problem does not occur when I use the phone without flip cover case or when I leave the phone with screen facing up.
Do you have this problem with your phone?
I have this problem with all roms that I tried. But when I use an auto screen on off program for flip cover phones, my problem solved. The program make my phone awake all the time, it seems disturbing at the beginning but I saw that the battery consumption of my kitkat rom decreased while my phone is idle (screen off). Normally my kitkat rom uses 4-5% per hour when screen off but with this program it decreased to 1.5-2% per hour. So I also found an indirect solution for my kitkat rom that do not go into deep sleep
Also I noticed that the cpu usage is high (1209 Mhz) while the screen is off, so I used a cpu tuner program to reduce it while screen is off. And the battery consumption reduced to nearly %1 per hour while screen is off.
A rom developer can use this and write a code that awake the phone but not using battery like auto screen on off program.
Hello,
My Tablet - Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 Wi-Fi (stock Android v.7) gets unresponsive when I turn on the screen after being left idle for some hours. After installing a monitor app I noticed the Disk reading values will be at 100% for some time (3 or 4 minutes) and only when it lowers to values near 10% will the tablet become responsive.
Any suggestions?
How can I identify the apps that are taking over Disk readings?
Thanks!
