Hello!
I'm having a problem on my Zte Axon 7 with the Gear S3, it disconnects shortly after I turn the screen off, then when I turn the screen on the location symbol pops up in the status bar and the watch reconnects. Close the screen and cycle repeats.
I have tried it on both marshmallow and nougat with every battery and gpssetting possible but no change. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking of returning the watch (I don't want to, I love it otherwise).
I'm guessing it has something to do with powersaving but even with everything off there is no change. Could it be that the watch is faulty or is that unlikely?

Hey bro! you should go to Mi-Assistant -> Accelerator -> and set the protection to All Gear apps (Samsung plugin, gear s3, SHealth, etc). Accelerator automaticly clear the active processes in your phone to clean the RAM
Hi Wolfpack,
I fixed it by going to Settings -> Power Manager -> Power Management for Apps -> ⁝ -> Screen-Lock Cleaning -> Disallow Screen-Lock Cleaning and selecting Samsung Gear to ON.
No problems since. Hope that works.
Sorry, disregard the above statement.
After a couple of hours without a drop-out it disconnected when I moved away from the phone and since then it is once again disconnecting as soon as the phone goes into standby mode, no matter how I change the above mentioned settings.

Hey everyone,
I need your help figuring out why my Touch Pro 2 will not enter sleep mode on it's own. For some reason, the back light will dim, but the screen will stay on even though I have all my settings correct in the power management settings. Has anyone experienced this before? I think the fact my phone will not sleep automatically really impacts my battery life as I can barley make it from 7AM-5PM with barely using it much. It use to work fine, but now it doesn't. I've even done a format of the device twice, but still that doesn't seem to fix the issue.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Not sure what programs you have loaded but try cold boot, see if works. Then check as you add one program at a time.
There is also an option under settings/battery/advanced to force the device to sleep after a period of time.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.
I'm not sure when it started as I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep manually before I holster it.
If I lock the phone, the screen will dim, and at intervals, get bright again on its own. If I leave it at the TF Home Screen, it will stay bright and never dim.
I just can't bring myself to hard reset this phone right now . . lol. Maybe when I have more time. For now, I'll keep manually putting the phone to sleep .. . . sort of a muscle memory thing anyway. I wouldn't mind fixing it though, either.
Nope, never solved this problem. Sorry, I think you're on your own on this one.
I have also been experiencing this problem. I just got my Verizon Touch Pro 2 about two weeks ago. I have only added a handful of apps (WinMo MarketPlace, NetFlix Mobile manager, AP Mobile News, WeatherBug, and Shazam. I am pretty sure it was doing this before Shazam.) I think the phone was doing this even before I installed anything on it, but not certain. This is what I noticed;(I had T-Mobile's version and it did not have this issue.) I was amazed that my new Verizon Touch Pro2 was draining its battery life much more quickly than my TMobile version. Then I figured it out; when ever I get any notice on my phone (missed call, text message, phone notification)the screen lights up. This is normal. However, what is not normal is that the screen stays on until I manually acknowledge the notification or I manually hit the sleep button. I have the power management settings to turn off the backlight if not used for 30 sec and to put the phone to sleep after 1 minute. I tested it a few times to see if it would eventually turn off, 1 minute, 3 minute, up to 15 minutes and it still stayed on. . .
htc touch pro 2 won't enter sleep mode
It's the weather program that keeps it awake ...Slider Bar -> Settings -> Data Download Weather -> Uncheck download weather automatically
htc touch pro 2 won't enter sleep mode
"It's the weather program that keeps it awake ...Slider Bar -> Settings -> Data Download Weather -> Uncheck download weather automatically"......
Agreed it is the weather program.
Specifically I turned off my location data collection..... Settings > Location > Improve Location Service (Slide to off). This worked! However out of interest I switched it back on and my backlight still sleeps OK, I just hope this problem doesn't keep randomly popping up.
I'm experiencing the same issue, suddenly...
But when I re-enable the Location option, it won't go into sleep...
Any ideas how to fix this?
bloddy idiots. HTC adds fancy animated auto-downloading weather at GPS location and break the ability to turn the phone on or answer calls! Quietly BRILLIANT!!!!!! idiots.
Hi guys,
I'm using Tasker on my Galaxy Note 1, and I'm facing a huge issue :
I created a task for my car : when detecting my car's bluetooth, it must launch a few apps, and toggle "Display-Stay on" with AC or USB Power, so that my phone's screen stays switched on as long as it is plugged.
There's another task when leaving the car (ie car's bluetooth not detected) where I put "Stay on" to "never".
Seemed to work, but unfortunately I just noticed that now, my screen won't shut off anymore. I have to press the power button to switch it off.
What is surprising is 1) those tasks are not running anymore and 2) I went into the settings and tried to change to time to switch off the screen (set it to 30s) but didn't work...
Do you how can I put the setting back in order?
Here are the details :
- Samsung Galaxy Note 1
- Jelly Bean 4.1.2 LSZ stock, not rooted
Thanks a lot guys for your kind help!!!

There's a few things that could be wrong and without seeing EXACTLY how you set it up, I can't help.
BTW, you should ask this type of question in the tasker forums. It's in Google groups.

It has been 2 years I bought this phone.
Nexus S i9023 world wide edition (code name crespo)
Generally it gave 24 hours battery backup. But now it gives only 12 hours backup hardly!!.
I tried all roms like cyanogenmod, slim rom, AOKP and original too.
Screens are attached.
let me know if you have any idea.
let me know if you want more information.
I am on wifi only in office, otherwise wifi and data plan is off.
U get high android os on all rom ?
If bought the phone two years ago, its the battery for sure. After 24 months and several hundred charges its not going to last anywhere near as long as when you first got it

Android os is too high. Something is keeping your phone awake. I suggest greenify and hibernate all facebook, maps etc.. Also, some chat programs can be problematic if you dont use original hangout or google talk.
[SOLVED!!]
i have this problem with my galaxy grand phone ,the battery discharges in 20hr , default OS was 4.1.2 official samsung , i changed my rom into a slim custom rom based 4.2.2 , but the battery has same problem again , Android OS battery Usage Was 80% !!!! and screen usage just was 9% !

All I know is Android OS shouldn't consume 80% of battery when screen is off.
Wakelock detector app always giving me 80% awake and 20% deep sleep. and Phone was having kernel awake issue.
Two days ago I switched back to stock rom with no extra apps installed. and the issue was the same.
What I noticed that I turn of the CRT screen off option in Slimrom 4.2 build 8. and when I come back to stock rom, Obviously I did full format with bootloader, radio and recovery etc.. but CRT screen off was not working. What I guess is if we formatted /system /cache /data dalvik cache etc.. CRT off screen off should be reset and it should be turn on by default, as it was on when I purchased it!!!
So I guess there should be something like OEM unlock option which persist even you do full format. Some of the settings which is causing my kernel for keep awaking.
So I again planned to come back to Slim rom (As I noticed it is very active for my device). And the CRT screen option is working correctly now.
But my original problem of Android OS was still there. in 2 hours of screen off, kernel was awake for all the time, only 4 minutes of deep sleep.
I checked wakelock detector and saw mmc1_detect count as around >1800!!!!
I come back to XDA for solution and found that it could be for faulty SD card. Solution suggested is to go to setting -> storage -> unmount sd card and restart your phone or something (I don't remember actually). But since Nexus S has no external SD card, out of 16 GB, 1 GB is for phone internal and about 13 GB is for USB storage. But how can we unmount it??? Additionally even if I unmount, there is no use of smart phone, as photos and all important things are in SD card. I wasted 1 hour for finding an app that can toggle SD card mount/unmount but no success.
I noticed that my phone has some issue with charging point. It started after I used nexus 7 charger into it. On my laptop usb connection works good, but at my office I checked on 2 PCs but USB is not recognizing it. (Sometime works something don't). Another issue I faced a week ago was, when I removed charger, phone still showing charging!! My friend suggested me to mess with port. Use some small sharp stuff like knife to remove touching charging port with outer steel body, and it worked.
So I concluded there must be some issue with it. Today morning After fresh installation of slim rom with suggested step problem persist. But I didn't flashed gapps, just to test if there is an issue with any of the google apps. But then I installed gapps (only required and gmail and hangout)
all of sudden, issue resolved! 2% wake and 98% deep sleep in 7 hours!
Still I cannot determine what exactly caused an issue. If it is about charging point, all I know is I'll face this issue again, and as it is soldered to IC cheep, I definitely need to give it to professional repair.
As I guessed, Issue again comes, this time I see that 'vbus_present' holds kernel wakelock even after unplugged.
USB working fine, but sometime it keep showing charging after unplugged.
Temporary I am keep plugging and unplugging till charging icon disappear. and then reboot the phone (Rebooting is required otherwise lock will not release).
Soon I will have to repair charging point.
Ha haha, Alli need is to do not let charging point touch outer surface

After about a week with my Gear S3 Frontier LTE, there are few things I think I'd like changed.
Is there a way to submit these to Samsung?
Anyway:
1. To conserve power, I turn off NFC usually, Yes, the Samsung Pay app has a means to prompt one to turn ON on NFC should it be off when trying to pay, but it does then stay on....
The watch should really have an option to auto-turn on NFC when using Samsung Pay (triggered by the 'pay' button after selecting the card) and then disable it automatically again when payment has finished (maybe a timeout of 2 minutes or such)
2. I notice that when turning on BT, it makes the watch 'visible' to devices around? Can that be turned off? I usually only want to make it connect to my phone and BT headset
3. I usually wear my watch on the inside of my wrist (old habit). I noticed that sometimes I accidentally clicked something. A screen lock (need to long-click ) would be nice.
I had to reset my S8 recently and my gear was on R760XXU1APK3 and phone on G950FXXU1AQK7.
gear app 2.2.17082261
what happened is I reset my gear S3 and paired it to my phone again.
I preformed a restore from the gear app which took quite a long time.
two days later my S3 became totally unresponsive and couldn't even do a factory reset.
the display was frozen at 10:10 2 February (some default date) however the gear management software on my phone could still communicate with my gear.
I went into battery usage on the gear manager software and saw settings was at over 45 % of battery usage, hit forced stop and the watch became semi responsive, enough to give me access to do a factory reset.
have no idea why this happened, just putting it out there for any one who may experience this in the future.
