I have galaxy watch 4 classic.
I adjust screen time out for 30 second or higher but it turn off immediately when it turn on. Could anybody help please?
is a bug but samsung is doing nothing
it doesn't work with wrist movement but when you wake it up by touching the screen it works
Something similar here. When I receive a notification, if I raise my hand to see it sometimes (2 out of 10) the screen turns off before I can even see the notification. I have read this is how Samsung designed it in order to save battery (if you move your arm when the screen is on it turns off) but in case of a notification it should give at least 4-5 seconds before turning off. Is there any way to sove it? Maybe disabling motion sensors or whatever? Ahy idea?
Thank you for your help

Ok so I have a little problem with my HTC Diamond. In options I set to turn-off the backlight after 10s of inactivity which is standard. The problem is that after those 10s I can see that the screen backlight is fading out but it doesn't fade out completly - if you look from an angle it might appear that it's off but if you look at the front of the phone or simply in the dark you can see that the backlight is still on only set to something near 10 or 5%. As you know the battery just sucks in this device and I don't want the backlight to drain it so any ideas or tips on this matter? Of course I can put the phone to sleep mode but I'd just prefer to make the backlight turning off so I can take a look at the screen to for example check the time without having to press any buttons...
Same problem here
After those 10s the screen is not turning off completly, just fading to 5, 10 %. The screen with all the info, the home page let us say, is still visible and drains the battery. I also could just press the power button to turn is completly off, but I would also prefer it to do this manually after ten second.
Did you find a solution to this problem yet?
Help Battery Drain
Same thing here, and my Backlight is stuck to 100% i think,
anyone found a solution to this? any hints?
Guys, i assume youve set the "turn off device if not used for xxx mins" correctly whilst in battery and external power correctly?
If you have, what roms are you using as you give us no information to help any further
Hello,
I had the same problem with ROM 2.03.421.2, date 12/24/08.Back then I had SPB mobile shell installed and a very few applications and I couldn't find the problem. I made a hard reset so now, with nothing installed, the device also enters standby. You should take care because it is possible that the device is not entering standby either and it is making calls. When I had this problem my friends were complaining that I kept calling them and not talking. It is strange as I'm sure I put the device to sleep with the power button. But still, somehow, it was making calls...
When I make or receive a phone call on my new Nexus the screen blacks out. I understand that it should black out when the phone is brought up to my ear, but it blacks out even though the phone is eighteen inches away from me. There is nothing on top of the proximity sensor and it is clean. The phone is not in a case. The sleep timer in set to two minutes. The cache partition has been cleared.
I think this happened after upgrading from Android 5 to 5.1, but I cannot be certain.
The AndroSensor app always reports that the proximity sensor detects something at 0.0 inches (with 12.7 mA), even though the sensor is uncovered.
I have seen several threads in various forums on this issue with the Nexus 5, but I have not seen a definitive answer as to what is wrong and what can be done about it.
Help would be very much appreciated as I need to know if it is a software bug that will be fixed as part of routine updates, if it is a user fixable problem (operator error!), or if the sensor is actually dead, in which case I can exchange the phone (Amazon uk).

Just press the power button when that happens, screen will turn on again. Done.

Thanks for this, but if the power button it set to end the call it does indeed turn the screen on again, but of course also ends the call prematurely. If the power button is not set to end the call, then nothing happens when it is pressed during a call and the screen stays black. The only way out of the black screen under those circumstances is to hold the power button down to turn the phone off and then restart it!
Prior to the upgrade 5.1, from the version of 5 that came with the phone, when I made or received a call the screen remained active until I put the phone to my ear.
Further advice would be much appreciated.

if i make or answer a phone call, and put it on speaker, after a few secs it will turn the screen off automatically. If i then press the pwer button (i don't have the accessibility option on), it WILL wake the screen but doesn't end the call.

Thanks for this, but the problem was that the screen blacked instantly on making or receiving a call and was unresponsive, so the only way forward was to press the power button. This either terminated the call or shut down the phone, according to how it was set, so neither was useful.
As I said originally, I suspected the proximity sensor was faulty as the a proximity detector sensor app always indicated that there was something close to it. Hence the phone would assume it was next to my ear when making or receiving calls, and so black the screen. This morning, for reasons that I don't understand at all as I have not changed anything on the phone, the proximity sensor is reported as working and the phone behaves as it should on making and receiving calls!
I suppose that either the sensor has an intermittent fault, or something in the phone's software has changed to permit it to work. I have a couple of week's left before the Amazon return window expires, so I will monitor the situation.
Thanks once more for the help.

I have the identical problem with my nexus 5 running stock kitkat. Makes it very hard to use the keyboard to reply to automated requests to "if... press 1, if.... press 2".
Is it possible to turn the proximity sensor off? I don't need it and it just causes problems for me.
Hi, I am trying to figure out how to change the movement that turn screen on...
Without movement that turn screen on I usually get 5 days of use (light use). With wrist movement that turns screen on I just get 2 days of Use.
The problem is that many times the display turns on with random movements that was not me trying to see the time... And even sometimes the display doesn't turn on with me trying to see the time.
I am guessing this mechanism is wrong by default. Instead to turn on with movement I believe it would be way better if the display turns on with the position.
The only time you get the display on stand position (home button to bottom and camera to top) is when you really turn your wrist to see the hour. This position of display stand (home button to bottom and camera to top) should be the trigger to turn on the screen and not the movement of the arm.
Does anyone have a clue of how to change this?
Tnx a lot any help.

Facing the same problem. There must be someone with an good idea..
Question: Do you wear your Gear on top of your wrist or on bottom? I've never had problems with wake-up gestures when I wore my watch on top of my wrist, but if I wear it underneath the screen comes on all the time and drains the battery in a few hours. I think it confuses the motion sensor.
Remember, when wake-up gestures are turned on the motion sensor is always on, which drains the battery much faster whether the screen is on or not (That's in the user manual).
yup. infact when i am using my PC my left hand is always from the keyboard to any other place the watch will keep going on and off (screen). this is frustrating and consumes battery. is there a solution?
Hi all,
I just got a 2018 Galaxy A7 this week.
I can't get the Always On Screen to function correctly.
When the proximity sensor at the top of the screen is covered, the screen will fade all the way down, but not shut off completely.
If I leave the phone face down on a table, I can see the screen dimly reflected off the surface if I turn the lights off.
From the manual: "If the sensor at the top of the device is covered for a certain period, the Always On Display will turn off". So it should turn off if face down, in a pocket, etc?
I tried setting "Block Accidental Touches" but this makes no difference. Same for a factory reset in case something I installed was holding the screen on.
Am I missing a required setting?
With thanks
Also: I checked with the built-in tests (dial *#0*#). The proximity and light sensors seem to work ok, so this appears to be a software or setting issue? Or a mistake in the manual?
I confirm that the aod will automatically turn off if I put my phone into my pocket. But I afraid of the burn out of my display. The aod seem to stay the same position in a very long period and there is no option to set up the period for the movement of the aod. Maybe I will turn this funtion off.
Thanks for checking. I'll contact Samsung about this.
I don't know if you need to worry about burn in, the clock and other information seems to move around often enough. Even the home button moves slightly to avoid issues. They've used these screens with these anti-burn in measures for a while and there hasn't been a large number of complaints.
Yeah, A7 has this function and I worry about the burn in of its screen but it do not have LED notification and because of that I must use aod. But the A6, my wife's phone, do not have aod and LED notification. Why Samsung did not support LED indicator for A series? It so annoying.
I use an older Samsung Note 4 with the latest stock OS allowed for it. I have had an issue since day one that I can't seem to find a solution.
I want to be able to disable the screen from turning on, unless I hit one of the physical buttons (typically Home or Right side button). The reason is that notifications and other background processes keep lighting up the screen. Sometimes, the screen will just stay on and not timeout. Also, if the phone is in my pocket, it senses my body and starts interacting as though its my fingers. I am only aware of this once the phone heats up and then all my icons are messed up. The biggest problem is the battery drain from all this. Setting the timeout short does not really help and is kinda annoying itself.
I have not been able to find a setting or app than can suppress this. All of my searches just turn up the opposite solution to keep the screen active constantly.
Is it possible to disable the screen until an actual physical button is pressed? If so, what is the solution? New OS, new phone, app?
Thanks.
